j?® •feyFS^^^ SoSSM’ CHAPTER NYU. No one enjoyed the ball at Bayneham more than the stately countess, who rejoiced in seeing all those of brilliancy and note in the county assembled under her son’s roof. She listened with exquisite delight to the praises the Duke of Laleham lavished upon his young hostess. As Barbara could never be mistress of that grand old castle, it was well to have some one whose beauty and grace were so universally admired. When Ixtrd Bayneham joined his mother, asking her to take a walk through the rooms with him. he was surprised and delighted to find that for the first time sh<* spoke with warm affection and admiration of his wife: still more when they came to a quiet little boudoir, where Hilda had sought refuge for a few minutes' repose. “Tired.” she said, in answer to her husband’s question—“just a little, Claude. I am tim'd with pleasure and happiness; it is all so bright and beautiful.” Lord Bayneham smiled. To Hilda's great surprise, the countess, who had never embraced her since her wedding day, went up to her, and kissed the fair face that flushed with joy as she did so. “You have charmed me this evening. Hilda," said Lady Bayneham, kindly. “I shall begin to believe that you win all hearts.” She passed on, leaving the husband and wife together. “Claude,” said Hilda, “I am too happy. I had but one shadow of trouble—that was, I feared your mother would never love me. But she does; she will care for me almost as much as she does for Barbara Earle.” “A great deal more,” replied Lord Bayneham, looking at the fair, loving “Then I have nothing left to wish for.” said Hilda, with a sigh of unutterable content. “I cannot stay with you, Hilda," said — -the young earl. “Rest for a few minutes, then 1 will fetch you." She smiled as he looked at her; and many long years passed before Claude Bayneham saw the same expression of happiness on her beautiful face. In the far distance Hilda heard the sound of music, broken every now and then by the wailing of the wind, that i bent the trees, and mourned with the cry of a lost soul round the Castle walls. She was a very fair picture, seated in the dim. mellow light of the little boudoir, the I firelight gleaming in her costly jewels, and throwing a half halo round her golden head. The remembrance of Lady Bayncham’s words was sweet to her. Young. ■ beautiful, and loved, she had not one j sorrow or care. She might have laughed at the dismal j wail of the winter wind. It was chanting some sorrowful dirge of grief and want, woe and death. What had such to do : with the beautiful, brilliant lady, who । listened, with a smile on her lips, think- i ing how perfectly happy she was. Then, ' remembering she had promised Bertie Carlyon the last dance before supper. Lady Hilda rose to return to the ball room. “I was just coming for yon,” said Lord * Bayneham. drawing his wife's arm in his; “Greyson has been here in search of you. He wants to speak to you; it is something about the arrangements, I suppose. I will send him to you.” Greyson was the butler, who had served Lord Bayneham’s father, and was consequently looked upon as a valuable and confidential servant. He approached Lady Hilda, looking carefully around Io see if anyone could hear what he had to say. His young mistress stood near a large re cess; it was half divided from the ball room by a thick crimson curtain. “My lady,” he said, producing a folded paper, “I have been asked to give you this, without letting any one see or hear of it.” Lady Hilda hastily opened the note. It was almost ineligible, as though the hand that wrote it had trembled and shook. “Lady Hilda Bayneham." it began, “the doctor tells me lam dying. I have been dying for two days past, but 1 cannot leave this world until I have seen you. I shall have no answers to the'ipttw+rw _ I must ho asked unless I see and speak to you. It is from the threshold of etor uity 1 summon you. Do not delay; and as you value the love and happiness around you, do not say one word of this. I am dying at the little cottage near the Firs.” “How strange’." said Lady Hilda, as she read the little note over again. “Who brought this. Greyson?" “Old Mrs. Paine, from the Firs, my lady." "Was any message left with it?” she inquired. "None,” replied the man, “except that she asked me to give it to you soon, and when you were quite alone.” The butler imagined, as old Mrs. Paine had done, that it was a request for alms. Every one in sorrow or want sought Lady Hilda, and no one ever sought her in vain. As there was no more to be said. Greyson hastened to resume his duties, leaving the lady bewildered and surprised with the note in her band. “It must be an appeal for money,” she said. “I will not be anxious over it. I wish, whoever wrote the letter, had asked plainly for what is wanted.” Sho tried to believe it was but a somewhat uncommon way of soliciting money. Yet they were solemn words; she heard them above the soft, sweet, dream-like music that filled the ball room —above the courtesies and homage offered to her; above the voice of flattery and love they rang out clear, cold and solemn. “From the threshold of eternity I summon you.” Bertie Carlyon wondered what spell lay on those rosy lips—they were mute and still: the bright, beautiful face had a troubled, wondering look.

"1 fear you are very tired, Hilda,” said Lord Bayneham to his young wife. “I am not fired,” she replied, hastily, “but I am ” Then cho stopped abruptly, remembering those other words, "As you value the love and happiness around you, do not say one word of this.” "You are what?” said Lord Bayneham. smiling, yet wondering why his wife's face flushed and the words died upon her lips. She made some evasive reply and turned away. It would have been a great relief to have shown him the note and asked him what he thought. He would have understood it, but it strange fear and dread had seized the brilliant lady; she dared not disobey that command. At the head of that sumptuous banquet she was obliged to talk and listen, oblig ed to give her whole attention to her duties. Yet there were many who thought their young hostess looked strangely tired and distraite. She was grateful when the Duke of Laleham took his departure. The other guests were not long in following his example. "Wo have had a delightful night," said Barbara Earle, as the little family group assembled in the boudoir; "but even pleasure fatigues one. 1 propose and you must second my resolution, aunt that no one speaks another word Let us retire; Hilda looks tired and worn out." "Though it would be delightful to talk over the ball," said Bertie, "1 for one obey Miss Earle; “and off he went to the smoking room. Yet even when they were all gone, when she stood in her own room alone, Hilda still heard these mysterious words. “Who is it,” she thought, “that from the threshold of eternity would summon me?” Almost for the first time in her life Lady Hilda Bayneham found herself un- : able to sleep. The golden head tossed wearily to and fro. For the first time she ; listened to the wailing of the wind, as to a strange wild music that told of sorrow ! I and despair. I "1 will end this suspense." she thought. ! “No one will be down much before twelve. ' I will rise at eight, and go to the Firs. ; If Claude discovers that I am out, he will ! think I am taking a morning walk,” Yet even that, the first coneen.'ment she had ever practiced in her simple, guileless life, troubled her. It was a gray, cold morning there was not even the glimpse of a sunbeam when Lady Hilda dressed herself for her walk. “You will ho cold, my lady," said her maid, who wrapped a thick cloak around her. "Yes,” replied Lady Hilda, "but a long i walk this morning will do me good If Lord Bayneham asks for me. tell him I jam gone out, but shall be back s n after I eleven.” If Pauline thought there was any thing extraordinary in her lady's proc hug. she made no comment. The air was cold and blenk. the sky dull and leaden: there was a gray mist । that hid the trees ns La ly Hilda w<i.' ion her way through the park, tin ea new idea came to her ami made her pause "Suppose it should be a pl । to rob me?" she thought. "But robbers ami thieves could fear no question that should be asked in another world?" She reached the link cottage at List ! Mrs. Paine was up, aid busily engiged iin preparing breakfast. Sim looked da. , zled and confused when Lady Hilda, her i face glowing with exercise, stood smhb-t I ly before her. "You have someone here very ill." s M j Lady Hilda, "who wishes to see me." The old lady made a profound re\ci enee to the golden haired lady. "It will be my lodger, I suppose. lady," she replied. "She begged me to take a note to you last evening; she is very ill like to die, the de. tor says any minute." Lady Hilda was relieved to find it was a woman who wished to see her. "She lies upstairs, my lady." con;ii ■.,! Mrs. Paine. “Shall Igo up with y . my lady ?" "No," she replied. "I not'd not trouble you. The poor creature wants some little assistance, I have no doubt; I will go alone." Even as Lady Hilda went up the r.ar row staircase she heard those solemn words: "From the threshold of etcri. :y I summon you." The mystery was -- in to be solved. She knocked gently at the door of the room, and a faint, sweet voice bade her enter. When, in after years, did Lady Hilda , forget the scene? Tin room was small, ; bu£_glenn. and even pretty. There was a little wh'lTo bed with white hangings, a neat toilet table with a few ornaments. I \ Huk4a).U> stood near the bed; a small 1 tire burned elievili, o> a, Lady Hilda entered the room quietly, j moving gently, lest any sound should an- ■ noy the one who lay there. She went up j to the bedside, and then uttered a low j cry of surprise. White and worn, with a ; deep shade upon it, lay the same beautiful face she had seen in the summer. The woman before her was the one w ho j had asked her so long ago for a flower at ; ; the lodge gates. The sad. large <\ es ; seemed to burn ns they looked at her; . the lips trembled and quivered, but could ; , not utter a word. ' “You wished to see me," said Lady ' • i Hilda, bending over her. "I came as soon ■ । as I could. 1 have disturbed you. Wait ! a few minutes, and then you will be better . able to speak to me.” The burning eyes closed as sho spoke, I I and Lady Hilda stood silently gazing at the beautiful, sad fact*, wondering what j was the story it told. Deep lines of sor- [ row were on the broad, white brow ami j round the lips. As she gazed upon the face it seemed in some strange way to . become familiar to her, as though years ago she had seen and loved it in her ] dreams; then the faint, sweet voice was i. heard again. e “Are yon Lady Hilda Bayneham?” “Yes,” she replied, "1 am Lord Baynev ham's wife.” a “You were Lady Hutton's ward?” con- ’’ tinned the sick woman. y “Yes,” said Hilda quietly, “she was my j adopted mother; I knew no other.” a. She stopped abruptly, for the dying lips uttered a wild cry. and the white face

was turned to her with ft look of dead!/ anguish that: was almost despair. ; "Hush,” said Lady Hilda gently; “w’hat is it? You will make yourself worse. What can I do for you?” The woman held out a thin white hand and clasped the soft fingers of the young girl; she held them up to the light, looking at the costly rings that glittered there. “Let mo see your other hand,” she said. Lady Hilda gave it to her, and she glanced eagerly at it. On the third finger shone a plain gold ring. When the sick woman saw it she pressed it eagerly to her lips. , “Who gave you that ring?” she asked. "Lady Hutton," was the reply. “She placed it on my finger bn my sixteenth birthday. Why do you ask me these questions? B hat do you know of me?” For all answer the sad, sweet eyes looked into her face, as though trying to read every thought of her heart. "I could not die until 1 had seen you,” she said. “1 hnve hungered and thirsted for one look at your face, for one word from your lips. My heart craved for you, so that 1 could not die. I am breaking my oath, but it was a cruel one; besides, I must know what answer to give when I stand before the great white throne. God gave me a precious jewel, and I left it with another. He will ask what I did with it. What shall 1 say?” Lady Hilda thought the jioor woman was raving, and she laid her cool hand | upon the hot brow. Still those sad eyes I seemed to drink in every change on her 1 face. f "When I gave my jew el away," who ' continued,"! swore that 1 would never reelaim it; but I cannot die until it is mine again. She will know, perhaps, in the other world that 1 have broken my oath it must be so. Hilda, look tit be. Have you no memory of me? Have you never seen me before?” "Your face is familiar to me," replied Hilda, wondering at the strange address. "I have seen something like it in my dreams." "Nothing more?" cried the woman, a wild sob bursting from the pale lips. “Is there no memory of the long sweet nights, when that golden head was pillowed on my breast; of the long days when I nurscj you in my arms; of the hot tears 1 have shed over you is there nothing that tells you of my love, mv sorrow and despair? i Ah, how many years is it since 4 clasped my little child in my arms, and took what I believed to be my last look nt her' Hilda, I should rise, 1 should kneel there nt your feet ami ask you to pardon me, । but l did all for the best," Lady Hilda's face had grown very pale, : her lips quivered, and her eyes grew dim. "1 do not quite umhrslaml you yet," she whispered; "tell mo more plainly who ■ you tire." The white face turned to her. the lips i trembled, the large sad eyes filled with tears. "I hnve hungered and thirsted for yon.” the continued; “my heart burned within me. parched and withered for one glnncv nt that face. Oh, darling, land over mo, lower still; look nt mo, pardon me. I am § your unhappy mother you are my only child." “My mother!" snid Lady HiMe. gently; j "is it possible? Can it be true.” "It is true, said the dying woman; i "eighteen years ago my heart broke w hen : I gave you, my child, my love, my com- I , fort, to another. I couhi not die until I ; 1 hennl you call mo mother «mec again. Ob, L darling my own. my only child do not | turn from me Say yon forgive me, then ! I can die in peace." Inidy Hilda bent over the droop ng face, 1 so fnil of w ifil sorrow . "Tc|| me n'l nismt it." she said, gently; : ”I do m»t understand." Then, by the pray light of the winter i norning.

"it was not that I did tmt lore you,! darling." pleaded the sweet, faint voice.

THE SUNDAY SCHOOL. THOUGHTS V/ORTHY OF CALM REFLECTION. A Pleasant, Interesting, and Instructive Lesson, and Where It May Be Found—A Learned and Concise Review of the Same. Lesson for May 2G. Golden Text.—“ While we were yet sinners, Christ died for us.”—Rom. 5: 8. Jesus on the Cross is the subject of £iis lesson, found in Mark 15: 22-37. Calvary, at last. B'e have been on the wav to it for a long time. All through the ’life of Christ the cross has cast its shadow, and ’ U lesson from the lid testament we have had constant foreglimpses of its outlines. It is the centerpoint in the world's history, in the long ranges of eternity. Here all lines of prophocj meet, from here all streams of beneficeneo flow forth. About this crossbeam the discipleship of the ages groups itself, mid theangels hover overhead. The Sunday schools of the world may well make solemn pause here, to-day-solemn and glad, also. “lii the cross of Christ I glory 'Lowering o’er the xvreeks of time; AU U>e light of Hner.-.l story t.athers round Its head Hiibiiine." “The place Golgotha.” Most vivid point, most distinct place in all history. And how many art' overlooking and ignoring it! "They bring him.” The first meaning of tln> word is to bear, to carry (fero). Christ was swept there by Jewish hate, by Roman cruelty, by your sin and mine. B e helped in bringing Christ to his cross. “He received it not" the wine mingled with myrrh. He would take no stupefying draught. He would endure in his own strength, and by his election, the whole burden of the hour. His own received him not. but he meekly and graciously received death for them. For their sake he would take nothing less, "They parted his garments." Poor witless soldiers; they did not know, but they were fulfilling prophecy and indicating Scripture there. The psalm of the cross (22) was here put in graphic tableau. " I hey that, were crucified with him reviled him.” This may have been literally the ease nt the first, the penitence of the one coming later, after he had beheld the kingly suffering of the Christ. And yet the account is eiipti al, and Mark may hav<' simply spoken of Christ's attendants upon the cross here in a general way, Luke only (23; 30-13) particularizing and distinguishing them. "When the sixth hour was come, there was darkness over the whole land until the ninth hour." The elements themselves sympathized, ami this great event was signalized also by miraculous portent. "Jesus cried with a loud voice and gave up the gl'cst,” saying probably here, "Father, into thy hands I commend my spirit." Jus: before, he had snid "It is finished," and a moment before that, "My Ged, my God, why hast tbou forsaken me " There were seven voices on the re-*. f>mr of them spoken expressly in man's behalf. llintM and Illustrations.

During the time of trial do not seek to divert your mind wholly from the fact, nor strive to bury yourself in some business, with the view of “drowning your troubles,” but honestly and squarely face the issues, and trust the Lord to accomplish all IBs will in the trials through which He calls you to pass.
