a© tfeTw I CHAPTER 11. “WHEN WE TWO PABTED ”

Sir Cyprian Davenant and James Wyatt went back to town by rail, and parted company at W aterloo, the baronet going westward to his bachelor lodgings in one of the shabbier streets about Grosvenor Square, the lawyer to the big dull house on the coldest side of Russell Square, which his father had bought and furnished some fifty years before. Sir Cyprian had work to do after the Richmond dinner, and was occupied till long after daybreak with letterwriting and the last details of his packing. When all was done, he was still .wakeful, and sat by his writing-table an the morning sunlight thinking of the past and the future with a gloomy face. Thinking of the past—of all those careless hours in which one bright girlish face had been the chief influence of his life; thinking of the future, in which he was to see that sweet face no more. He began to walk slowly up and down the room, thinking. “There would le just time for me to ido it,” he said to himself, presently; “just time to run down to Davenant, and see the old place once more. It will be sol I before I come back from Africa, if ever I do come back. And there would be a chance of seeing her. I know the Clanyardes have gone back to Kent. Yes, I will run down to Davenant for a few hours. A man must be hard indeed who does not care to give one farewell look at tho house in which tho brightest years of his life have been spent. And I may seo her again, only to say good-by, and to see if she is sorry for my going. What more can I say to her? What more need be said? She knows that I would lay down my life for her.” He went to his room and slept a kind iof fitful sleep until 8 o'clock, when he woke with a start, and be^an to dress for his journey. At nine ho was driving through the streets in a haneom, and at midday he was in one of the woody, lanes leading across country from the little Kentish railway station to his own ancestral domain, the place he had once been proud and fond of, ibut which he looked at now in bitterness of spirit and with a passionate re : 'Tho est&to had been Inoumbored / vrliozi it foil in to J* in bat ho know I that., *bnvo I ' 1 j-ko— A

Ho ould bettereidure the Loss of the place than its desecration. The woman at the keeper's lodge welcomed her master with an exclamation of surprise. I hope you have come to stay, Sir Cyprian, she said, dropping a rustic courtesy. “No, Mrs. Mead. I have onlv com, for a last look at the old place before i go away from England.” ‘‘Going away, sir.- that’s lad news.” Cyprian cut short her lamentations with a friendly nod, and was walking on, when it suddenly struck him that the woman might be useful. “Oh, by the way,” he said, “Lord Clanyardo is at Marchbrook, is he Dot? "Yes, sir; the family have been there lor the last week.” Then I II walk over there before I go on to the house if you’ll unlock the gate again, Mrs. Mead.” Shall. I send one of my boys to the house with a message, sir, about din-

nor-, or anything?” You are tery good. Yes, you can sond the lad to tell old Mrs. -Pomfret to get me something to eat at 6 o'clock if you please. I must get back to London by the 7:30 train.” t’-a?^ 17 Uie> Sir ’ ° oin £ back so soon as I he gates of Marchbrook were about t from the keeper’s Icd^e. j T— •' ail X a! 'he’s hou-e was a dreary red brick habitation of the Georgian

era, with long lines of narrow winnows looking out upon a blank expanse of pasture land, by courtesy a park. An avenue Ox elms led from the lodge-gate to the southern front of the house and 7 n ybe western tide there was a prim L etch garden, divided from the park by a ha-ha. The place was in perfect oider, but theie was a cold, bare look about everything that was eminently suggestive of poverty. A woman at the ledge informed Sir Cyprian that there was no one at home. Lord Clanyarue had driven to Maidstone; Miss (1 anva 1- do wt the vi'-

e the ehii■ptrFfT"at the National Seho >l. she would be heme at two to lunch, no doubt,, according to her usual habit. She was very fond of ihe school, : nd sometimes spent her morning in teaching the children. “But they leave school at twelve, don’t the,.?” demanded Sir Cyprian. “Yes, sir; but I dare say Miss Constance has stopped to talk to Miss 'Evans, the schoolmistress. She is a very genteel .young person, and quite a favorite with our ladies.” Cyprian Dawnant knew the little schoolhouse and the road by whi -h 'Constance Clanyarde must return from her mission Nothing could be more plea-ant to him than the idea of meeting her in her solitary walk. He turned J^^way from ti e lodge-keeper, muttersomething vague about ca’ling ■kter, and walked at a rapid pace t"> neighboring village, which con^■Lsted of two straggling rows of <>ld^pshioned cottages fringing the skirls of a common. Close to the old ivycovered church, with its mas-fives jiiai-e tower and grass-grown graveyard,

there was a modern Gothic building in I which the village children struggled c through the difficulties of an education- I al course, and from the open windows < whereof their youthful voices rang loudly < ut upon the summer air every morning in a choral version of the « multiplication table. ! Miss Clanyarde was standing in the little porch talking to the schoolmistress when Sir Cyprian opened the low wooden gate. She looked up at tho sound of his footstep with a sudden blush. “I did not know you were at Davenant, Sir Cyprian,” she said, with some little embarrassment, as they shook hands. “I have not been at Davenant, Miss

Clanyarde. I only loft town—morning. I have come down here io say good-by to Davenant and all old friends. ” Tho blush faded and loft the lovely face very pa’e. “Is it’ true that you are going to Africa, Sir Cyprian? I heard from some friends in town that you were going to join Captain Harcourt's expedition.” “It is quite true. I promised Harcourt some years ago that if he ever went again I would go with him.” “And you are pleated to go, I suppose?” “No, Miss Clanyarde, not pleased to go. But I think that sort of thing is about the best employment for tho en- j orgies of a waif and stray, such a; I am. I have lived my life, you see, and have not a single card left to play in the game of civilized existence. There is some hope of adventure out yonder. Are you going home?” “Yes, 1 was just saying good-by to ■ Miss Evans as you came in.” “Then I'll walk back t > Marchbr. ok i with you, if you'll allow me. I tdd ! the lodgekeepor I would return by- ' and-by in the hope of finding Lord ! Clanyarde.” “You have been to Marchbrook al-j ready, then?" “Yes; and they told me at the lodge that I should find you here.” After this there came rather an awk- ■ ward silence. They walked away from i the schoolhouse side by side, Sir Cyp- | rian furtively watchful of his companion's face, in which there were s’gns of a sorrow that seemed something deeper than tho conventional regr. t which a fashionable beauty might express for the departure of a favorite waltzer. The silence was not broken until they had a rived at a point where two roads met, the turnpike road to Marchbrook and a shady lane a cross-coun-try road, above which tho overarching branches of tho elms made a roof of foliage at this bright midsummer :eason. There was away of reaching March brook by this lane—a tempting walk com) a ed to the high-road. , . “Lot us go »‘«iek by tho lane, ” said I <Cyprian. “It ° r » but J ' o!l‘ “I ‘ -•- ' 'designs

He had com i down to Kent upon a sudden impulse, determined in ' no manner to betray his < wn folly, and bent only upon snatching the vam delight of a farewell interview with the ' gtr; he loved. But to be with her and j not to tell her the truth was more difficult than he had imagined. He could i

see that she was sorrv for his depar- . tu: e He believed that she loved him, , but he knew enough of Viscount Clanyarde s principles and his da miner's ■ educa tion to know there would be something worse than cruelty in asking this girl to share his broken fortunes. , es i ( °nstanco,” he went on, “it is hotter for me to be away. So loro- as I am here it is the old story of the insect and the flame. I cannot keen nnt

of temptation. [ cannot keep myself from haunting the places where I am ‘ k “ eet ^e girl I love, fondly, foouHi y, hopelessly. Don t look at me with tho. e astonished eyes, my dar- , you have known my t ecret ever so long. I meant to keen silent till the very end; but, you see the words are spoken in spite of me. My love, 1 dare , not ask you to be my wife. I dare only ; tell you that no other woman will fill j that place. You are not angry with , me, Constance, for having spoken?” j “Angry with you —” she began, and then broke down utterly and burst into (

tears. He drew his arm round her with a ' tender, protecting gesture, and so >thed her gently, as if she had been a child, i “My darling, I am not worth your < tears. If I had been a better man, I < might have redeemed Davenantby this time, and might have hoped to'make you my wife. There would have been some hope for me, would there not, dear, if I could have offered you a home that your father could approve?” "lam not s > mercenary as you think me,” answered Constance, drying her tears,, and disengaging herself from Sir Cyprian's encircling arm. “I am not afraid of poverty. But I know that my father would never forgive ” . “And I kn w it too, my dearest girl, and you shall not be asked to break < with your father for such a man as I. I never meant to speak of this, dear, ; but perhaps it is bettor that I should . have spoken. You will soon forget m. 3, < Constance, and I shall hear of you making some brilliant marriage'before I have been away very long. God grant ’ the man may be worthy of you' God i grant you may marry a good man!” 1

“I am not very likely to marry," r^ plied Miss Clanyarde. W “My dearest, it is not possible yo| 1 can escape; and heaven forbid that myl memory should come between you anq^ a happy future. It is enough for one| of us to carry tho burden of a life-lou^ regrot.” ' There was more talk between them! before they arrived at a little gate! opening into the Marchbrook kitchenSarden —fond, regretful talk of theays that were gone, in which they had Veen so much together down in Kent, with all the freed a permitted between friends and neighbors of long standing, tho days before Constance had made her debut in the great world! Sir Cyprian did not persevere in hy-) talked-of visit to Lord Clanyarde. H had, in truth, very little desire to sd j that gentleman, it ho was one of tit® most pompous and self-opinioned of noblemen. At the little garden gat* ho grasped Miss Clanyarde's two li''^ in his own with one fond, fervent “You know tho old story," “ ‘lt must be fcr years, and ity me, darling, for I can ivv v call you by that sweaterYou have been very goom ting me speak so freely to-t is a kind of consolation to Wx "W you my sorrow. God bless * good-by.” This was their parting. SirCypriij wont back to Davenant, and spent.?® dreary hour in walking up and dowl tho corridor and looking into the empta rooms. Ho remembered them tenanted with tho loved and lost. How drearl they were now in their blank and ud occupied state, and how little likolj hood there was that he should ever-dj them againl His dinner was served® j him in a pretty break-fast room, w» a bay-window overlooking a gardS that had been his mother s delight, aM where the roses sho had loved st® blossomed in all their glory. Tm menu ry of the dead wa- with him J ho ate his solitary meal, and he wJ glad when it was time for him to leav] the great desolate house, in whioi j every do r closed with a dismal raven . Iteration. a- if it had been shutting ul on a vault. | He left Davenant immediately aft® । dinner, and walked back to the littß i station, thinking mournfully enough J : his day's work and of the life that la before him. Before noon next daj hs and his companions were on the lire i stage of th ir journey, speeding t< | wards Marseilles. j |TO BE CONTINUED. | THEY COME HIGH.

A Gran 1 but Unique Memorial. The monument wh ch has been erected upon the battlefield of Solferino is one of the largest, if not the largest, of its kind in Europe, it consists of a tower seventy-four meters high, surmounted by an electric lamp, and rises m seven stories, each representnm a campaign in the struggle for the independence of Italy. Each separate story contains all the names of ' the generals and other officers, as well as the men who fought in tl at campagn. No fewer than 700,000 names are thus inscribed (n the inner walls of the monument. On the ground floor are tho busts' and i m mo leading generals, and llxe chief ornament in the center of the ground floor is the colossal monument in bronze of j Victor Emmanuel, by tho Venetian ; sculptor Dal Zotto. The tower stands • in grounds beautifully laid out, and constitutes a magnificent memorial of . Italian unity. Beneath the structure I repose 2,000 skulls and other remains i of soldiers of the three nations who fell on the field of Solferino. Hot in Australia. The weather in Australia during the present antipodean summer has been unusually hot and oppressive. In Adelaide, during December, the thermometer several times registered over 100 degrees in the shade, and one day it climbed to 107 in the shade and 103 in the sun. In Melbourne the hundred notch has been reached more than once, and the scorching north winds ’ have made the atmosphere exceedingly ! oppressive. The foregoing figures arc j from weather observatory readings, j and probably do not represent by sev- j oral degrees the temperature of the ! city streets. .At the present rate of increase there ' will be 63.000,000 people in Canada ' in fifty years’ time, and 190,000,000 in : the United States. / . ।
