Soon hat ttie villain came to her, and she him directly with this stiletto, at it there's his blood upon it 1 to show you I caught her arm, would have killed him, I believe so much blood, the doctor would him be moved. Then she thought still, and would not pass another

night under the same roof with him at two o'clock 6he was on her way to Raby but Mr. Coventry was too much of a man to ptay in the house and drive her out so he went off next morning, and, as soon as she henrd that, she came home, bhe is wife and no wife, as the t-aying is, and how it is all to end Heaven only knows "It'will end the moment I meet the man and that won't be long." "There! there!" cried Grace, "that is what I feared. Ah, Jael! Jael! why did you hold my hand? They would" not have hung me. 1 told you so at the time I knew what I was about."

Jael," said the young man, "of all the kind things you have done for me, that wa6 the kindest. You saved tny po*r girl from worse trouble than she is now in. No, Grace you shall not dirty your hand with sach scum as that: it is my business, and mine only."

In vain did Jael expostulate, and Grace implore. In vain did Jael assure him tnat Coventry was in a worse position than himselfj and try to rtiake him see that any rash act of his would make Grace even moie miserable than she was at present. He replaid that he had no inten:ion of running his neck into a halter he should act warily, like the Hillsborough trades, and strike his blow so cunningly that the criminal should never know whence it came. "I've beer, in a good school for homicide" said he "and I am an inventor. No man has ever played the executioner as I will play it. Think of all thi» scoundrel has done to me: he owes mt a dozen lives, ar.d I'll take one. Man thall never de tect me: God knows all, and will forgive me, I hope. If he doesn't, I can't help it."

He kissed Grace again and again, and comforted her: said she was not to blame honest people were no match for villains: if she had been twice as simple, he would have forgiven her at si^ht of the stiletto that cleared her, in his mind better than words.

He was now soft and gentle as a lamb. He bagged Jael's pardon humbly for leaving Hillsborough without telling her. He said he had gone u.i to her room but all was still and he was a working-man, and the sleep of a working-woman was sacred to him—(he would have awakened a fine lady without c*remony). He assured her he had left a note for her in his box thanking and ble.sing her for all her goodness. He said that he hoped he might yet live to prove by acts, and not by idle words, how deeply he felt all she had suffered far him.

Jael received these excusas in hard silence. That is enough about ine," said she, coldly "If you are grateful to me show it by taking my advice. Leave vengeance to Him who has said that vengeance is His."

The man's whole manner changed directly, and he said doggedly. "Well, I will be His instrument." "He will choose His own." "I'll lend my humble co-opei ation." "Oh, do not argue with him," said Grace, pitiously, "When did a man ever yield to our arguments? Dearest, I can't argue: but I am full of misery, and full ot fears. You see my love yon forgive my follv. Have pity on me think of my condition: do not doom me to live in terror by night and day: have I not enough to endure, my o#n darling? There, promise me to do nothing rash to-night and that you will come to me the first thing to-morrow. Why, you have not seen your mother yet she is at Raby Hall." "My dear mother!" said he: "it would be a poor return for all your love if I couldn't put off looking for that scum till I have taken you in my arms."

And so Grace got a reprive. They parted in deep sorrow, but almost as lovingly as ever, and Little went to Raby Hall, and Grace, exhausted by so many emotions, lay helpless on a couch in her own room all the rest of the day.

For 9*tne lime she lay in utter prostration, and only the tears that trickled at intervals down her pale cheeks showed that she was conscious of her miserable situation.

Jael begged and coaxed her to take some nourishment: but she shook her head with di.-gust at the very idea.

For all that, at nine o'clock, her faithful friend almost forced a few spoonfuls of tea down her throat, feeding her like a child: and, when she had taken it, she tried to thank her, but choked in the middle, and,flinging her arm round Jael's neck, burst into a passion of weeping, and incoherent cries of love, and pity, and despair. Oh, my dar.ing! so great! so noble! so brave! so gentle! And I have destroyed us both! he forgave me as soon as he saw me! So terrible, so geitle! What will be next calamity? Ah Jael! save him from that act, and I shall never complain: for he was dead, and is alive again." "We will fini some way to do that between us—you, and I, and his mother." "Ah, yes: she will be on my side in that. But she will be hard upon me. She will point all mv faults,my inexecrable follv. Ah, if 1 could but live my time ov^r again, I'd pray night and that virtue which we have too much of already: and what we ought to pi'*y for is selfishness. But. no! I must think of my father, and think of that hypocrite but the one person whose feelings I was too mean, and base, and silly to consult, was mvself, I always abhorred this marriage. I feared it and loathed it yet 1 yielded step by step, for want of a little selfishness: we are slaves without it—mean, pitiful and contemptible slaves. O God, in m^rcy give me selfihness Ah, me, it is too late now. I am a lost cieature nothing left me but to die.

Jael got her to bed, and sleep came at last to her exhausted body but, even when her eyes were closed, tears found their way through the lids, and wetted her pillow.

So can great hearts and loving natures suffer. Can they enjoy in proportion?

Let us hope so. But I have my doubts. Henry Little kept his word, and came early next morning. He looked hopeful and excited: he said he had thought the matter over, and was quite intent to let that scound.-el live, and even to dismiss all thought of him, if Grace really loved him. "If I love you!" said Grace. "Oh, Henry, hy did I ask you to do nothing rash, but that I love you? Why aid I attempt his life myself? because you said in your letter— It was not to revenge myself, nor to 6ave myself, but to save you from more calamity. Cruel, cruel! Do I love him?" "I know you love me, Grace: but do you love me enough? Will you give up the world for me, and let us be happy together, the only way we can? My darling Grace, I have made our fortune ali the world iies before us I left England

You can be my wife my wife in re ality, as you are his in name, nothing else. It is idle to talk as if we were in 6ome ordinary situation. There are plenty of countries that would disown such a mairiage as yours, a m«re ceremony obtained by fraud,and cancelled by a stroke with a'dagger and instant separation. Oh, my darling, don't sacrifice both our lives to a scruple that is out of place here. Don't hesitate don't delay. I have a carriage waiting outside end all our misery by one act of courage, and trust yourself to me did I ever fail you?" "For shame, Henry! for shame!" "It is the only way to happiness. You were quite right it I kill that wretch we shall be parted in another way, always parted now we can be together for life. Remember, dearest, how I begged you in this very room to go to the United States with me. you refused: well, have you ever been sorry you refused? Now I or.ee more implore you to be wise and brave, and love me as I love you. What is the wo' ld to us? You are all the world to me." "Answer him, Jael oh, answer him!" "Nay, tnese are things every woman must answer for herself." "And I'll take no answer but yours." Then he threw himself at her feet, and clasping her in his arms, implored her, with the sighs and tears and eloquence of passion, to have pity on them both, and fly at once'with him!'

alone for you now leave it with rrie, and let us roam the world together ''Henrv!—what!—when I can not be your wife!"

She writhed and struggled faintly, and turned away from him, and fell tenderly towards hiin by turns, and still he held her tight, and g-ew s'ronger, more passionate, more persuas:ve, as she got weaker and almost faint. Her body seemed on the point of sinking, and her mind of yielding.

But all of a sudden she made a desperaie effort. "Let nse go!" she cried. "So this is your love! With all my faults and follies I am truer than you. Shame on you love! Let me go, sir, I say, or 1 slfall hate you worse than I do th-1 wre'eh whose name I bear."

He let her go directly, and then her fiery glance turned to one long, lingering look of deep but tender reproach, and she fled sobbing.

He sank into a chair, and buried his face in his hands. After a while he raised his head and saw [ael Deuce looking gravely at him. "Oil, speak your mind," said he, bitterlv. "You are like the world. You think only of yourself: that's all I hav« to say." "You are very unkind to say so I think for us b«th: and she will think with me, in time. I shall come again to-mor-row."

He said this with an iron resolution that promised a lo ig and steady struggle to which Grace, even ir. this first encounter, had shown herself hardly equal. Jael went to her room, expecting to find her as much broken down as she was by Henry's first visit: but, instead of that, the young lady was walking rapidly to and fro.

At sight of ael, she caught her by the hand, and said "Well!" "He is coming again to morrow." "Is he aorry?" "Not he."

Who would have thought he was so wicked?" This seemed rather exageratcd to Jaef for with all Mr. Little'6 teachling she was not quite a lady yet in all respects thougn in many things she was always one by nature. "Let it pass," said she. 'It is a man's part to try,

And a woman's to deny.' "And how often shall I have to djiiy him I love so dearly?" "As often as he asks you to be his mistrec for, call it what you like, that is all he has to offer you."

Grace hid her face in her hands. Jael colored. "Excuse my blunt speaking, but sometimes the worst word is the best fine words are just words with a veil on." "Will he dare to tempt me again, after vhat I said?" ',Ot course he will don't you know him? he never gives in. But, suppose he does, you have your answer ready." "Jael,"' said Grace, "you are so strong it blinds you to my weakness, resist him, day after day! I, who pity him bO, and blame myselt! Why, his very look, his touch, his voice, overpower me so that my whole frame seems dissolving: feel how I tremble ^t him, even now. No, no let those resist who nre sure of their strength. Virtue, weakened by love and pity, has but one resource—to fly. Taei Dence, if you are a woman, help me to »ave the one thing I have got left to save." will," said Jael Dence

In one hour from that time they had packed a box and a carpet-bag, ancl were on there way to a railway station. They lelt Hi.lsborough

In three days Jael returned, but Grace Coventry did not come back with her. The day after that trying scene, Henry Little called, not to urge Grace again, as she presumed he wouid, but to ask pardon: at the same time we may be sure of this—that, after a day or two spent in obtaining pardon, the temptation wouid have been renewed, and so on forever. Of this, however, Little was not conscious he came to ask pardon, and offer a ire and patient love, till such times as Heaven should have pity on them both. He was informed that Mrs. Coventry had quitted Hillsborough, and left a letter for him. It was offered hiir he snatched it and read i:. "MY

OWN DEAR

HENRY,—You have

given me something to forgive, and I forgive you without psking, as I hope you will one day forgive me. I have left "Hillsborough to avoid a situatiou that was intolerable and solicitations which I blusded to hear, and for which you would one day have blushed too. This parting is not forever, I hope but tnat rests with yourself. Forego your idea of vengeance on that man, whose chastisement you would best alleviate by ending his miserable existence and learn to love me honorably and patiently, as I loye ou. Should,

self, you will see me again. Meantime, think of her who loves you to distraction, and whose soul hovers about you unseen. Pray for me, dear one, at midnight, and

at eight clock everv morning for those

are two of the hours 1 shall pray tor you Do y«u remember the old church, and how you cried over me? I can write no more: my tears blind me so. Farewell

Your unhappy GRACE.

Litue read this piteous letter, and it was a heavy blow to him a blow that all the tenderness shown in it could not at first Soften. She had fied from him she

shunned him. It was not from Coventry she fled it was from him. He went home cold and 6ick at heart, and gave himself up to grief and deep regrets for several days.

But soon his powerful and elastic mind, impatient of impotent sorrow, a.id burning for tome kind of action, seized upon \engeance a the only thing left to do.

At this period he looked on Coventry a? a beast in human shape, whom he had a moral right to extinguish only, as he had not a legal right, it must be done with consummate art. He trusted nobody spoke to nobody but set himself quietly to find out where Coven' ry lived, and what were his habits. He did this with little difficulty. Coventry lodged in a principle street, but always dined at a club, and returned home late, walking through a retired street or two one of these passed by the mouth of a narrow court that was little u0ed.

Little, disguised as a workman, made a complete reconnaissance of this locality, and soon saw that his enemy was at his mercy.

But, while he debated within himself what measure ot vengeance he should take, and what noiseless weapon he should us?, an unseen antagonist baffled him. That antagonist was Grace Carden. Still foreboding mischief, she wrote to Mr. Coventry, from a town two hundred miles distant: "Whatever you are now, vou were born a gentleman, and will, I think, respect a request from a lady you have wronged. Mr Little has returned, and I have left flillsborough if he encounters you in his despair, he will do you some mortal injury. Thi* will only make matters worse, and I dread the scandal that will follow, aiid to hear my sad story in a court of law as a ju tification for his violeiae. Oblige me, then, by leaving Hillsborough for a time, as I hive done."

On receipt of this, Coventry packed up his portmanteau directly, and. leaving Lally behind to watch the town, and see whether this was a ruse, he went directly to the town where Grace's letter was dated, and to the very hotel.

This she had forseen and intended. He found she had been there, and had left for a neighboring watering piace he followed her thither, and there she withdrew the clue she left word she was gone to Stirling but doubled on him, and soon put hundreds of miles between them. He remained in Scotland, hunting ht.r.

Thus she played she gray plover with him she hated, and kept the beloved hands from crime.

When Little found that Coventry had left Hillsborough, he pretended to himself that he was glad of it. "My darling is right," said he. "I will obey her, and do nothing contrary to law. 1 will throw him into prison, that is all." With these moderated vie'wf, he called upon his friend Ransom e, whom of course he had, as yet, carefully avoided, to ask his aid in collecting the materials for an indictment He felt sure that Coventry had earned p:nal servitude, if the facts could only bj put in evidence. He found Ransome in low spirits, and that excellent public servant being informed what he was wanted for, said dryly, "Well, but this will require some aoility don't you think your friend Silly Billy would be more likely to do it effectuaJly than John Ransume?" "Why, Ransome, are you mad?" "No, I merely do myself justice. Silly Billy smelt that family grindstone* and I can't smell a rat a yard from my nose, it seems. You shall judge for yourself. There have been beveral burglaries in this town of late, and planned bv a master. This put me on my mettle, and I have done all I could, with my small force, and even pried about in peison night after night, and that is not exactly my business, but 1 felt it my duty. Well, sir, two nights ago, no more. I had the luck to come round a corner right upon a job Alderman Dick's house, full of valuables, and the windows well guarded but one of hfo cellar? is only covered with a hea'vy shut-er, bolted within. I found this open, and aboard wedged in, to keep it ajar down I went on my knees, saw alight inside, and heard two words of thieves' latin that was enough, you know I whipped out the board, jumped on the heavy shutter, and called for the police." "Did you expect them to come?" "Not much. 1 hese jobs aie timed so as not to secure the attendance of the police. But assistance of another kind came a gentleman full dressed, in a white tie and gloves, ran up, and asked me what it was. hieves in the cellar,' said I, and shouted police, and gave my wuistle. The gentleman jumped on the shutter. 'I can keep that down,' said he. 'I'm sure I saw two policemen in Acorn street: run quick!' and he showed me his sword cane, and seemed so heartv in ii, and confident, 1 ran round .he corner, and gave my whistle. Two pol.cemen came up but, in tnat moment, the swell accjmplice had pulled all his pals out of the cellar, and all I saw ol the lot, when a came back, was the swell'-swaliow-tail coat flying hk& the wind towards a back slum, where I and m\ bobbies should have bejn knocked on the head, if we had tried to follow hiin: but indeed he was too fleet to give us the chance." "Well," said Henry, "that was provoking: but whocan foresee every thing a in a moment? I have been worae duped than that a good many times."

Ransome shook his head. "An old officer of police, like me, not to smell a swell accomplice. 1 had only to handcuff that man, and set him down with me on the shutter, till, in the dispensation of Providence, a wbby came by."

He added by way of corollary, "You should send to London for a detective." "Not I," said Henry. "I know you for a sagacious man, and a worthy man, and my friend. I'll have no one to help me in it but you." "Won't ou?" said Ranseme. Then I'll go in. You have done me good, Mr. Little, by sucking to a defeated friend like this. Now for your case tell tne all you know, and how you know it.

Henry complied, and Ransome »ook [lis notes. Then he saiu, he had got .1"

He is not so green as to9tay a day in Hillsborcua,h, now his face has "been close to mine they know I never forget a' face. No, no I shall never see him again, till I am telegraphed tor, to inspect his mug and his wild-cat eyes in some jail or other. I must try and not think of him it disturbs my mind, and takes off my attention from my duties."

Ransome adhered to this Vesolution for more than a ^nonth, during which time he followed out every indication with the patience of a beagle and, at lasf, he called one day and told Little Hill had forfei ed his bail and gone to Canada at the expense of the trade but had let out strange things before he left. There was a swell concerned in his attempt with the bow and arrow: there was a swell concerned in the explosion, with some workman, whose name he concealed he had seen them on the bridge, and had seen the workman receive a bag ot gold, and had collared him, and de inanded his share this had been given him, but not until he threatened to call the bobbies. "Now, if we could find Hill, and get him to turn Queen's evidence, this, coupled with what you and I could furnish, would secure your man ten years of penal servitude. I know an able officer at Quebec. Is it worth while going to the expense?"

Little, who liad receive! the whole communication in a sort of despondent, apathetic way, replied that he didn't think it was worth while. "My good friend," said lie, I am miserable. Vengeance, I find will not fill a yearning heart And the truth ii, that all t'iis time 1 have been secretly hoping she would return, and that has enabled me to bear up, and chatter about revenge. Who could belieye a young creature like that would kave her fatner and all her friends for good? I made sure she would come back in a week or-two. Ai to think that it is I who have driven her away, and darkened niv own life. I thought I had sounded the depths of misery. I was a fool to think so. No, no life would be endurable if I could only see her face once a day, and hear her voice, though it was not even speaking to me. Oh! oh!"

Now this was the first time Little had broken down before Ransome. Hitherto, he had spoken of Coventry, but not of Grace he had avoided speaking of her, partly from manly delicacy, partly because he foresaw his fortitude would give way if he mentioned her.

But now the strong man's breast seemed as if it would bnrst, and his gasping breath, and restless body, betraved what a price he must have paid lor "the dogged fortitude he had displayed for several weeks, love-sick all the time.

Ransome was affected: he rose and walked about the room, ashamed to look at a Spartan broken down.

When he had given Little time lo recover some little composure, he said, "Mr. Lit.le, you were always too much of a gentleman to gossip about the lady you love and it was not my business to in'tude upon that subject it was too delicate. But, of course, with what I have picked up here and there, and what you have let drop, without the least intending it, I know pretty well how the land lies. And, sir, a man does not come to my time of life without a sore and heavy heart if I was to tell you how I came to be a bachelor—but, no even after ten years I could not answer for myself. All I can say is that, if you should'do me the honor to consult me on something that is nearer your heart than revenge, you would have all my sympathy and all my zeal.'' "Give me youi hand, old fellow," said Little, and broke down again.

But. this time, he shook it off quickly, and, to encouia^e him, Mr. Ransome said, "To begin, you may take my word Mr. Carden knows, by this lime, where his daughter is. Why not sound him on the matter?"

Henry acted on this advice, and called on Mr. Carden. He was received very coldly by that gentleman.

After some hesitation, he asked Mr. Carden -if he had any news of his daughter. "I have."

The young man's face was irradiated with joy directly. Is she well, sir?" "Yes." "Is she happiei than she was?" "She is content." "Has she friends about her? Kind,good people a.iy persons of her own sex. wuom she can love?" "She is among people she takes foi angels, at present. She wili find them to be petty, mean, malicious devils. She is in a Protestant convent." •'In a convent? Where?" "Where? Where neither the fool nor the villain, who have wrecked her happiness between them, and robbed me of her, wili ever find her. I expected thi* visit, sir the only thing I doubted was which would come first, the villain or the fool. The fool has con first, and being a fool, expects me to tell him where to find his victim, and torture her again. Begone, fool, from the house vou haveMnade desolate by your execrable folly in slipping away hy night like a thief, or rather like that far more dangerous aniina:,a fool."

The old man delivered these insults with a purple face, and a loud jury, that in former days would have awakened corresponding rage in the fiery young fellow. But affliction had tempered him and his insurer's hairs were gray.

He saia, quietly, "You are her father. I forgive you these cruel words." Then he took his hat and wents away.

Mr. Carden followed him to' the passage, and cried after him, "The vililan will meet a worse reception than the fool, I promise you that much."

Lktle went home despondent, and found a long letter from his mother, tellhim he must dine and sleep at Raby hall that day.

She gave him such potent reasons, and showed him so plainly his refusal would infuriate his uncle, and make her miserable, that he had no choice. He packed up his dress suit, and drove to Raby hall, with a heavy heart and bitter reluctance.
