Mrs. Little gave Dr. Amboyne her hand. 'Bitter, but wholeson.e medicine!' •he murmured, and then was too overcome to speak for a little while. *Ali, «v good, wise friend!' said she at last, 'thick cloud* seem clearing from my itvnd I begin

to

see I was the one to

blame.' .. •Yes and if RaHy will be as docile a* you, and put himself in your place, he win tell me he was the one to blame. There no such thing as the one to blame there very seldom is. You judged him as if he was a woman, he judged you as if you were a man. Enter an obese maniac, and applies

the

art of arts the misunder­

standing dissolves under it, and you are in each others arms. But, stop,'—and tiis countenance fell again a little: 'I am afraid there is a new difficulty. Hen ry's refusal to take the name of Raby and be his heir. Raby was bitterly mortified, and I fear he blames me and my crotchets for he has never been near me since. To be sure you are not responsible for Henry 8 act.' 'No, indeed for, between you and me, it mortifiied me cruelly. Vnd now things have taken a turn,—in short, what with his love, and his jealousy, and his hopeless failure to make a fortune by inventing, I feel I can bring him to his senses.

I am not pleased with Grace Carden about something but no matter, I shall call on her and show her she must side with me in earnest. You will let my brother know I was always on his side in that mater, whatever other offense I may have given him years ago.' 'And I am on your side, too. Your, son has achieved a. small independence. Bayne can carrj on the little factpry, and Henry can sell or lease his patent*. he can never sink to a meHc dependent. There, I throw my crotchets to the wind, and we will Raby your son, and marry himtoGrac^ Garden.' 'Gol bless you, my good and true friend! Ilow can I ever thank you?' Her cheek Hushed, an her great maternal eye sparkled, and half the beauty of her youth came back. Her gratitude gave a turn to the conversation which she neither expected nor desired. •Mrs.

Little,'said Doctor Amboyne,

'this is the first time you have entered my

den,

and the acp seems transformed

bv your presence. My youth comes back to me with the feelings I thought tim hid blunted but no, I feel that, •wl'. you leave my den again, it will be tr!: than ever, if you do not leave me a li-|i that you will one day enter it for good.' 'I'm- shame!—At our age!' said the wiilo-v. tin slu: spoilt the remonstrance by blu .hiug like a s-til of eighteen. -JU are not old in my eyes and, as for me, let my vears plead for me, since all tints y«*ar

I have lived single for

your sake.' Tiiis last app-al shook Mrs. Little. SI ,i! I mk* could not entertain any sum in ts l-t her -on was unhappy.

'But

marrv him to his Grace, and

then—I don't know what folly I might not be persuaded into." The Doctor \va0 quite content with that. He s.iid he would go to Raby, as soon as he could make the journey with safety, and her troubles and her son's should end.

Mrs. Little drove home, a happy mother. As for the promise she had made her old friend, it vexed her a little, she was so used to look at him in another light, but she shrugged heJ maternal shoulders, as much as to say, "When once iray Henry leaves me— whv not?'

She knew she must play the politician a little with Henry, so she opened the battery cautiously. 'My dear,' said she, at breakfast, 'good news Doctor Amboyne undertakes to reconcile us both to your uncle.' 'All the better. Mr. Raby is a wrongheaded man, but he is a noble-minded one, that is certain.' 'Yen, and I nave done him injustice. Doctor Amboyne has shown me that."

She said no more. One 6tep at a time. I Henry went up to Woodbine Villa, I and Grace received him a little coldly.

He asked what was the matter. She said, 'They tell me you were at the very door the other day, "anJ did not come in.' 'It is true,' said "he. 'Another had just come out—Mr. Coventry.' I 'And you punished me because that poor man had called on me. Have you not foith in me? or what is it? I shall be angry one of the days.' I -No, you will not, if I can make you underhand my feelings. Put yourself in mv place, direst. Here am I, fighting I the good fight for you, against long odds and, at last, the brickmakers and bricklayers have beat us. Now you know that is a bitter cup for me to drink.

Well, 1 come up here for my one drop of co.nfort and out walks my declared rival, looks into my face, sees my trouble there, and turns off with a

Slance

of insolent triumph.' (Grace ushed.) 'And then consider: I am your choice, yet I am only allowed to visit vou once a week,' 'That is papa'6 doing.' 'No matter so it is. Yet my rival can come when he pleases: and no dou bt he does come every other day.'

You fancy that' •It is not all fancy for—by heaven! there he is at the gate. Two visits to my one there. Well,, all the better, I'll talk to him,'

He rose from his seat blac* with wrath. Grace turned pale, and rang the bell in a moment.

The servant entered the room just as Mr. Coventry knocked at the door. •Not at home to anybody,' said she.

Mr. Coventry's voice was heard to say incredulously, 'Kot at home?' Then he retired slowly, and did not leave the neighborhood. He had called at an hour when Grace was always at home.

Henry sat down, and said, 'Thank you, Grace.' But tie looked very gloomy and disturhed. ,j

She sat down too, and then looked fit each other. Henry was the first to speak. 'We are both pupils of the good Doctor. Put yourself in my place. That man troubles our love, and makes my heavy heart a sore heart.'

The tears were In Grace's eyes. 'Dearest,'said she. 'I will not put myself in your place you would lose by that, for I love you better than myself. Yes, it is unjust that you should be allowed to visit me but once a week, and he should visit me when he chodses. I assure you I have permitted his visits out of pure good-na-ture and now I will put an end to them.'

She drew desk towards her, and

wrote to Mr. Coventry. It took her some little time. She handed Henry the letter to read. He took it in his hand but hesitated. He inquired what would be the effect of it? 'That he will never visit me again till vou and I are married, or engaged, and that the same thing. Why don't you read it?'

I don't know: it goes against me, somehow Seems unmanly. I'll take your your word for it.'

This charmed Grace. 'Ah,' said she, I have chosen right.' Then he kissed her hands, and blessed her and then she told mit was nothing he was a goose, and .had no idea what she would do for him, 'more than you would do for me, I know,' said she.

That he denied, and then she said she might perhaps put him to the proof some day.

They were so happy together, time slipped away unheeded. It was full three hours before Henry could tear himself away, though he knew he was wanted at the works and he went out at the gate, glowing wi^h happiness and Coventry, who was ready to drop with the fatigue of walking and watching just above, saw him come out triumphant.

T'hrn it wss his turn to feel a deadly qualm. However, he waited a little longer, and then made his call. 'Not at home.'

Henry, on his way to the works, looked in on his mother, and told her how nobly Grace had behaved.

Mrs. Little was pleased, and it smoothed down her maternal bristles, and made it much easier for her to carry out her design. For the first time since Mr. Carden had offended her by his coldblooded treatment of her son, 6he called at Woodbine Villa.

Grace was at home to see her, and met her with a blushing timidity, and piteous, wistful looks, not easy to misunderstand nor to resist.

They soon came to an understanding, and Mrs. Little told Grace what Doctor Amboyne promised to do, and represented to her how much better it would be for Henry to fall into his uncle Raby's views, than to engage in hopeless struggles like that in which Mr. Bolt and tie had just been so signally defeated. 'And then, you know, my dear, you could marry next month—you two that is to say, if you felt disposed: I will answer for Henry.'

Grace's red face and swimming eyes told her how this shaft went home. In short, she made a coy promise that she would co-operate with Mrs. Little: 'and, said she, 'how lucky! he has almost promised to grant me the first favor I ask him. Well, I shall entreat him to be a good nephew, and do whatever dear Mr. Raby asks him. But of course I shall not say, and then if vou do, you\and I'—here the young lady cut her s.-ntence very short. 'Of course not,' said Mrs Little. "That will follow as a matter of course. .Now, mv oear. you and I are conspirators—for his good: and we must write pften and let each other know all we do.'

With this understanding, and a good many pretty soeeches and kisses, they parted.

Doctor Amboyne did not recover so quickly as they could have wished but they employed the imerval. Feelers were adroitly applied to Henry by both ladies, and they were pleased to find that he rather admired his wiong-headed uncle, and had been deply touched by the old gentleman's address to his mother's picture.

Bolt never came near him, and the grass was short, every thing seemed to incline in one direction.

There

WAS,

however, something very

serious going on out of their sight. •Not at home!' That white lie made Mr. Coventry feel sick at heart. He went home disconsolate. The same evening he received Miss Carden's letter.

The writer treated him like a gentleman, said a few words about her own peculiar position, and begged him to consider that position and to be very generous to cease his visits entirely for the present, and so give himself one more title to her esteem, which was all she had to give him. This was the purport, and the manner was s'mply perfect, so gentle yet firm and then she flattered his amour propre by asking that from his generosity which she could have taken as a right: she did all she could to soften the blow. But she failed. The letter was posted too soon after Henry's visit. Behind the velvet paw that struck him, Coventry saw the claws of the jealous lover. He boiled with rage and agony, and cursed them both in his fury.

After an hour or two of phrensv, he 6at down and wrote back a letter Jull of bitter reproaches and sneers.^ He reflected. He lighted a cigar and smoked it, biting it almost through, now and then. He burned his letter. He lay awake all night, raging and reflecting alternately, as passion or judgement got the upper hand.

In the morning he saw clearer. 'Don't quarrel with her. Destroy him.' He saw this as plainly as if it was written.

He wrote Grace a few sad lines, to say that of course he submitted to her will. The letter i°nded thus: 'Since lean do nothing to please you, let me suffer to please you: even that is something.' (This letter brought the tears to Grace's eyes, and she pitied and esteemed the writer.)

He put on a plain suit, and drove into Hillsborough, burning with wild ideas of vengeance. He had no idea what he should do but he was resolved to do something. He felt capable of assassinating Little with his own hand.

I should be sorry to gain any sympathy for him but it is only fair the reader should understand that he felt deeply aggrieved, and that we should all feel aggrieved under similar circumstances. Priority is a title, all the world over and he had'been the lady's lover first, had been encouraged, and supplanted

Longing to wound, but not knowing how to strike, he wandered about the town, and went into several factories, and talked to some of the men, and contrived to bring the conversation round to Little, and learn what he was doing. But he gathered no information of any use to him. Then he went to Grotait's place, and tried to pump him. That sagacious man thought this odd, and immediately coupled this with his previous denunciation of Little, and drew him on.

Coventry was too, much under the influence'of passion to be quite master of himself that day and he betrayed to this other Machiavel that he wished ill to Henry Little, As soon ?s he had thoroughly ascertained this, Grotait turned coolly on him, and said, 'I am sorry Mr. Little has got enemies for he and his partner talk of building a new factory, and that will be a good thing for us, take

a score of saw-grinder* off the box.' Then Coventry saw he had made a mistake, and lift 'The Cutlers' Arms' abruptly.

Next dav he took a lodging in the town, and went about groping for information and hunting for a man, whose face he knew, but not his name He learned all about Bolt and Little'h vtun endeavor to build, and went and saw the place, and the condemned bricks. The sight gratified him. He visited every saw-grinder's place he could hear of and, at last, he tell in with Sam Cole, and recognized him at once. Ihat worthy affected not to know him, and went on grinding a big 6aw. Coventry stepped up to him, and said in his ear, '1 want to speak with with you. Make an appointment.'

Cole looked rather Sulky and reluctant at being drawn from his obscurity. However, he named a low public house in a back slum, and there these two met that night, and for greater privacy were soon seated in a place bigger than a box and smallarthan a room, with discolored walls, and a rough wooden table before them, splashed with beer. It looked the verv den to hatch villainy in, and drink poi*on to its success.

Coventry, pale and red alternately, as fear and thame predominated, began to beat about the hush. 'You and I have reason to hate the me man. You know who I mean.' 'I can guess. Begins with a Hel.' 'He has wronged me deeply and he hurt you.'

That is true, sir. I think he broke my windpipe, for I'm as hoarse as a raven ever since: and I've got one or two of the shot in my cheek still 'Well, then, now is your time to be re venged.' 'Well, I don't know about that. What he done was in self-defe#ce and if I play bowls I must look for rubs.'

Coventry bit his lip with impatience. After a pause, he said, 'What were you paid for that job?" 'Not half enough.' 'Twenty pounds?' 'Nor nothing likt1 it.' 'I'll give you a hundred to do it again, only more effectually.' He turned very pale when he had made this offer. 'Ah,' said Cole, 'any body could tell you was a gentleman.* 'You accept my offer then?' 'Nay, I mean it is easy to see you don't know trades. 1 mustn't tne.ldle with Mr. Little ,• now ue is right with the Trade.' 'What, not if I pay you live times as much? say ten times as much then two hundred pounds.' 'Nav, we Union chaps are not malefactors. You can't buy u» to injure an unoffending man. We have got our laws, and they are just ones, and, if a man will :reak them alter due warning, the order is given to 'do' him, and the men are named for the job and get paid a trifle for their risk and the risk is not much, the i'rade stand Dy one another too true, .ind in so many ways. But it man is right with tne Trade, it is treason to arm him. No, I musn't move a finger against Li tie' 'You have set up a conscience!' said Coventry bitterly. •You dropped yours, an I picked it up,' was the Yorkshireman's ready reply He was nettled now.

At this moment the door opened and shut very swiftly, and a whisper came in through the momentary aperture, 'Mind your eve Sam Cole.'

Coventry rushed to the door and looked out there was nobody to be seen You needn't trouble yourself,' said Cole. 'You might as well run after the wind. That was a friendly warning. I know the voice, and Grotait must be on to us. Now, sir, if you offered me a thousand pounds, I wouldn't touch a hair of Mr. Little he is right with the Trade, and we should have Grotait and all the Trade as bitter as dtath against us. I'll tell you a secret, sir, that I've kept from mv wife'—(he lowered his voice to a whisper)—''Grotait could hang me any day he chose. You must chink your brass in some other ear, as the saying is: only mind, you did me a good turn once, and I'll do you one now you have been talking to somebody else, besides me, and blown yourself so now drop your little game, and let Little alone, or the Trade will make it their job to lay yoii.'

C*rentry's face betrayed so much alarm, that the man added 'And penal servitude wouldn't suit the likes of you. Keep out of it.'

With this rough advice the conference ended, and Mr. Coventry went home thoroughly shaken in his purpose, and indeed not a little anxious on his own ac count. Suppose he had been overheard his offer to Cole was an offense within reach of the criminal law. What a mysterious labyrinth was this Trade confedracy, into which he had put his foot so rashly, and shown his game, like a novice, to the subtle and crafty Grotait. He now collected all hi9 powers, not to injure Little, but to slip out of his own blunder.

He seized this opportunity to carry out a

coup

he had long meditated he went

round to a dozen timber-merchants, and contracted with them for the sale of every tree, old or young, on his estate and while the trees were falling like grain, and the agents on both sides measuring the fallen, he vanished entirely from Hillsborough and Bollinghope.

Doctor Amboyne's influenza was obstinate, and it was nearly a fortnight before he was strong enough to go into Cairnhope but at last Mrs. Little received a line from him, to say he was just starting, and would come straight to heron his return: perhaps she would give him a cup of tea. 4

This letter came very opportunely. Bolt had never shown his face again and Henry had given up all hopes of working his patent?, and had said more than once he should have to cros9 the water and sell them.

As for Mrs. ^Little, she had for some time maintained a polite silence. But now she prepared for the Doctor's visit as follows *So, then, you have no more hope from the invincible Mr. Bolt 'None whatever. He must have left the town in disgust.' 'He is a wise man. I want you to imitate his example. Henry, my dear, what is the great object of your life at present Is it not to marry Grace Carden —w^'You know it is. 'Then take her from my hands.' Why do you look so astonished Have you forgotten my little boast Then, in a very different tone, 'You will love your poor mother still, when you are married You will say, 'I owe her my wife,' will you not

Henrv was so puzzled he ccpld not reply even to this touching appeal, made

his eyes full ,of tears at the thought cf parting with him. Mrs. Little proceeded to explain: 'Let me begin at the beginning. Dr. Amboyne has shown" me I was more to blame than your uncle was. Would you believe it although he refused your poor father the trust-money, he went that moment to get

£2,000

of his own, and

lend it to us. Oh, Henry, when Dr. Amboyne told me that, and opened my eyes, I could have thrown myself at poor Guy's feet. I have been the most to blame in our unhappy quarrel and I have sent Dr. Amboyne to say so. Now, Henry, my brother will forgive me, the Doctor says and, oh, my heart yearns to be reconciled. You wili not staud in my way, dearest 'Not likely. Why, I am under obligations for my part.' 'Yes, but Doctor Amboyne says that dear Guy is deeply mortified by your refusal to be his heir. For my sake, for your own sake, and for Grace Carden's sake, change your mind now.' 'What, go into his house, and wait for dead men's shoes Find myself some day wishing in my heart that noble old fellow would die Such a life turns a man's stomach even to think of it.' 'No, no. Doctor Amboyne says that Mr. Bayne" can ^conduct your business here, and hand you a little income, with- & 'That is true.' 'And, as for your patents, gentlemen can sell them to traders, or lease them out. My brother would make a settlement on Grace and you—she is his goddaughter—now that is all Mr. Carden demands. Then you could marry, and, on your small present income, make a little tour together, and dispose of your patents in other places.' 'I could do great things.with them in the United States.' 'That is a long way.' 'Well, marry first,' said the politic mother.

Henry flushed all over. 'Ah said he, 'you tempt me. Heaven seems to op its gates as you speak. But you can not be in earnest he made it an express condition I should drop my father's name, and take his. Disown my poor dead father No, no, no

Now in reality this condition w'as wormwood to Mrs. Little but she knew that if she let her son see her feeling, all was over. She was all the mother now, and fighting for her eon's happiness so she sacrificed truth to love with an effort, but without a scruple. 'It is not as if it was a strange name. Henry, you compel me to say things that tear my heart to say, but—which has been your best friend, your mother, or your poor dear father

Henry was grieved at the question but he was a man who turned his back on nothing. 'My father loved me,' said he 'I can remember that but he deserted me, and you, in trouble but you—you have been friend, parent, lover, and guardian angel to me.' And, oh, how little have I done to deserve it all.' •Well, dear, the mother you value so highlv, her name was Raby. Yes, love and, forgive me, I honor and love my mother's

i.auie

even more than I do the

name of Little'—the tears ran out of hei eyes at this falsehood—'pray take it, to oblige me, and reconcile me to my dear brother, and end our troubles forever.' Then she wept on his neck, and he cried with her.

After a while, he said, 'I feel my manhood all melting away together. I am quite confused. It is hard to give up a noble game. It is hard to refuse such a mother as you. Don't cry any more, for mercy's sake I'm like to choke. Mind, crying is work I'm not used to. What does she say. I am afraid I shall win her, but lose her respect.' 'She says she admires your pride but you have shown enough. If you refuse any longer, she will begin to fear you don't love her as well as she loves you.'

This master-stroke virtually ended the battle. Henry said nothing but the signs of giving way were manifest in him, so manifes: that Mrs. Little became quite impatient for the Doctor's arrival to crown all.

He drove up to the door at laBt, and Henry ran out and brought him in. He looked pale, and sat down exhausted.

Mrs. Little restrained her impatience, and said, 'We are selfish creatures to send you on our business before you are half well.' 'I am well enough in health," said he, 'but I am quite upset.' 'What is the matter Sure you have not failed Guy does, not refuse his forgiveness j, 'No, it is not that.' Perhaps" if I had been in time—but the fact is, Guy Raby has left England.' 'What, for good Impossible 'Who can tell All I know is that he has 9old his horses, discharged his servants all but one, and gone abroad without a word. I wa9 the friend cf his youth—his college chum he must be bitterly wounded to go away like that, and not even let me know.'

Mrs. Little lifted up her hands. 'What have we done what have we done Wounded no wonder. Oh, my poor, wronged, insulted brother

She wept bitterly, and took it to heart so, it preyed on her health and spirits. She was never the same woman from that hour.

While her son and her friend were saying all they could to console her, there appeared at the gate the last man any of them ever expected to see—Mr. Bolt. S.s
