CHAPTER XXXIV.

As they enter, mirth ceases. A remarkable silence falls upon the group. Everybody looks at anything but Violet and her companion.

These last advance in a leisurely manner up the room, yet with somewhat of the sneaking air of those who are in the possession of embarrassing news that must be told before much time goes by. The thought of this perhaps deadens their perception and makes them blind to the fact that the others arc unnaturally quiet. "It has been such a charming day," says Violet, at last, in a rather mechanical tone. Yet, in spite of its stiltedness, it breaks the spell of consternation and confusion that has bound the others in its chains, and restores them to speech.

Tney all smile, and say, "Yes, indeed,''or "'Oh, yes, indeed," or plain

in a breath. They all feel in­

tensely obliged to Violet for her very ordinary little remark.

Then it is enchanting to watch the mtit snins, the delicate little attentions that the women in a carefully suppressed fashion lavish upon the brideelect,—as she already is to them. There nothing under heaven so dear to a woman's heart as a happy love affair,— except, indeed, it be an unhappy one. Just get a woman to understand you have broken or are breaking (the last is the best) your heart about any one, and she will bo your friend on the spot. It is so unutterably sweet to her to be a confidante in any secret where Dan Cupid holds first place.

Mona, rising, pushes Violet gently into her own chair, a little blacfc-and-gold wicker thing, gaudily cushioned. "Yes, sit there," she says, anew note of tender sympathy in her tone, keeping her hand on Violet's shoulder as the latter makes some faint polite effort to rise again. "You must indeed. It is such a doar, cozy, comfortable little chair."

Why it has become suddenly necessary that Violet should be made cozy ana comfortable she omits to explain.

Then Dorothy, going up to the newcomer, removes her hat from her head, and pats her cheek, and tells her with cne of her loveliest smiles that she has "such a delicious color, dearest! just like a wee bit of fresh apple-blossom!"

Apple-blossom suggests the orchard, whereon Violet reddens perceptibly, and Nolly grows cold with fright, and feels a little more will make him faint.

Lastly. Lady Rodney comes to tho front with— "You have not tired yourself, dear, I hope. The day has been so oppressively warm, more like July than May. "Would you like your tea now, Violet? We can have it half an hour earlier if you wish."'

All these evidences of affection Violet notices in a dreamy, far-off fashion she is the happier because of them yet she only appreciates them languidly, being filled with one absorbing thought, that dulls all others. She accepts the chair, the compliment, and the tea with grace, but with someyvhat vague gratitude.

To Jack his brothers are behaving with the utmost bonhomie. They have called him "old fellow" twice, and once Geoffrey has slapped him on the back with a heartiness well meant, and no doubt encouraging, but trying.

And Jack is greatly pleased with

them, and, seeing everything just now through a rose-coloreu veii, tells himself he is specially blessed in his own people, and that Geoffrey and old Nick are two of the decentest old men alive. Yet he too is a little derail, being lost in an endeavor to catch Violet's eyes,— which eyes refuse persistently to be so caught."

Nolly alone of all the group stands aloof, joining not at all in the unspoken congratulations, and feeling indeed like nothing but the guilty culprit that he is. "How you w6re all laughing when we came in," says Violet, presently "We could hear you all along the corridor. What was it about?"

Everybody at this smiles involuntarily,—everybody, that is, except Nolly, who feels faint again, and turns a rich and lively crimson. "It was some joke, of course?" goes on Violet, not having received any answer to her first question."It was," says Nicholas, feeling an answer can no longer be shirked. Then he savs, "Ahem!" and turns Ills glance confidingly upon the carpet.

But Geoffrey, to whom the situation has its charm, takes up the broken thread.

i?!'

"It was otie of Nolly's good things," he savs, genially.

AAnd

what he is capable of when he likesl It was funny to the last defgree,—calculated to set any 'table in a roar.' Give it to us again. Nolly. It bears repeating. Ask him to tell it to you, Violet." "Yes, do, Nolly,w says Violet. "Go on, Noll," exclaims Dorothy, in her most encouraging tone. "Let violet hear it. She will understand it." "I would, of course, with pleasure," stammers the unfortunate Nolly,—"only perhaps Violet heard it before." "Well, really, do you know, I think she did!" says Mona, so demurely that they all smile again. "I call this beastly mean," says Mr. Darling to Geoffrey in an indignant aside. "You all gave your oaths to secresy before I began, and now you are determined to betray me. I call it right-down Shabby. And I shan't forget it to any of you, let me tell you that."

THE TERRE HAUTE WEEKXr GAZETTE.

"My dear fellow, you rant nave prefotten it so soom" saw fending to misunderstand th vehement ,wlu5pei^ ."Dou't iie sir or3liall I re-, fresh your memory? It was, you remember, about "Oh, yes—yes—I know it doesn't matter (I'll pay you out for this)," says Nolly savagely, in an aside. '•Veil, I do like a good story," says Violet, carelessly.

Then Nolly's last will suit you down to the ground," says Nicholas. "Besides its wit, it possesses the rare quality of being strictly true. It really occurred. It is founded on fact. He himself vouches for the trtath of it." "Oh, go on do," says Mr. Darling, in a second aside, who is by this time a brilliant purple from fear and indignation. "Let's have it," says Jack, waking up from his reverie, having found it impossible to compel Violet's eyes to meet his. "It is, really nothing," says Nolly, feverishly. "You have all heard it before." "I said so3" murmurs Mona, meekly. "It is quite an old story," goes on Nolly. "It is, in fact, the real and ori^nal 'old. old story,' says Geoffrey, innocently, sailing mildly at the leg of a distant table. "If you are bent on telling them, do it all at once," whispers Nolly, casting a withering glance at the smiling Geoffrey. "It will save time and trouble." "I never saw any one feel the heat so much as our Oliver," says Geoffrey, pleasantly. »''IIis complexion waxeth warm." "Would you like a fan,

Nolly?"

says

Mona, with a laugh, yet really with a kindly view to rescuing him "from his present dilemma. "Do you think you could tind me mine? I fancy I left it in the morning-room." "I am sure I could," says Nolly, bestowing upon her a grateful glance, after which he starts upon his errand with suspicious alacrity. "llow odd Nolly is at times," says Violet, yet without any very great show of surprise. She is still wrapped in her own dream of delight, and is

but yesterday she would have felt an immediate interest. "But, Nicholas, what was his story about? He seems quite determined not to impart it to me."* "A mere nothing," says Nicholas, airily "we were merely chaffing him a little, because you know what a mess lie makes of anything of that sort he takes in hand." "But what was the subject of it?" "Oh—well—those thirty-five charming compatriot's of Mona's, who are now in the House of Commons, or, rather, out of it. It was a little tale that related to their expulsion the other night by the Speaker—and—er—other things." "If it was a political quip," says Violet, "I shouldn care about it."

This is fortunate. Every one feels that Nicholas is not only clever, but singularly lucky. "It wasn't all politics, of course," he says, carefully.

Whereupon every one thinks he is a bold and daring man thus to risk fortune again.

It is at this particular moment that Violet, inadvertently raising her head,, lets her eyes meet Jack Rodney's. On long.'' As for instance:

which that young man—being prompt in action—goes quickly up to her, and

This fond coloring, suiting the exigencies of the moment, suits her likewise. Never before has she looked so entirely pretty. Her lips tremble, her

eyes grow pathetic. And Captain Rodney, already deeply in love, grows one degree more impressed with the fact of his own good fortune in having secured so enviable a bride.

Passing his arm round her, he draws her closer to him. "Mother, Violet has promised to marry me," he says, abruptly. "Haven't you, Violet?"

And Violet says "Yes," obediently,

then

the. tears come into her eyes,

and a smile is born upon her lips, so sweet, so new, as compels Doatie to whisper to Mona, a little later on, that she "didn't think it in Violet to look like that."

Here of course everybody says the most charming thing he or she can think of at a moment's notice and then they all kiss Violet, and Nolly, coming back at this auspicious instant with the fan and recovered temper, joins in the general congratulations, and actually kisses her too, though Geoffrey whispers "traitor" to him in an awful tone, as he goes forward to do it. "It is the sweetest thing that could have happened," says Dorothy, enthusiastically. "Now Mona and you and I will be real sisters." "What a surprise it all ia,".. says Geoffrey, hypocritically. "Yes, isn't it?" says Dorothy, quite in good faith "though I don know after all why it should be we could see

But Violet is content.

wandering aimlessly among the Himalayas. Mona is happier than words can say. She is up to her eyes in business, that business sweetest to a woman's soul, the ordering and directing and general management of a trousseau. In her case she is doubly blessed, because she has the supervising of two.

Her sympathy is unbounded, her temper is equal to the most trying occasions, her heart open to the most petty grievances she is to the two girls an unfailing source of comfort,—a refuge where they may unrebuked pour out the indignation against their dressmakers that seems to rage unceasingly within their breasts.

Indeed, as Dorothy says one day, out of the plenitude of her heart, "How we should possibly have got on without ycu, Mona, I shudder to contemplate."

Geoffrey happening to be present

when this flattering remark is

made,

Yiolet turns to him sively,— "Oh, Geoffrey, wasn't it well you went to Ireland and met Mona? Because if you had staid on here last autumn we might have been induced to marry each other, and then what would have "become of poor Jack?" "Wrhat, indeed?" says Geoffrey, tragically. "Worse still, what would have become of poor Mona?" "What is it you would say?" exclaims Mona, threateningly, turning toward him a lovely face she vainly tries to clothe with anger. "It is insupportable, such an insinuation," says tne lively Doatie. "Violet, Mona's cause is ours what shall we do to him?"

Brain him with his lady's fan!'" quotes Violet, gayly, spatchin? up Mona's fan that lies on a pric-dieu near, and going up to Geoffrey.

So determined is her aspect that Geoffrey shows tho white feather, and, crying "mm culpa," beats a hasty retreat.

From morn to dewy eve, nothing is discussed in bower t)r boudoir but flounces, frills and furbelows, three that are considered at the Towers of far more vital importance than those other three bf Mr. Parnell's forming. And Mona having proved herself quite in good taste in the matter of her own gowns, and almost an artist where coloring is concerned, is appealed to ly both girls on all occasions about such tilings as must be had in readiness, 'Against their bridal day, which is not

Lady Rodney, too, is quite happy. Everything has come right all is smooth again there is no longer cause for cha-

rin and fear. With Paul death the latter feeling ceased, and Mona's greatness of heart has subdued the former. .She has conquered and laid her enemy low without the use of any murderous force the walls have fallen down before her, and she has marched into the citadel with flying colors.

Yet does she not triumph over her beaten foe nay, so different is it with her that she reaches forth her hand to raise her again, and strive by every tender means in her power to obliterate all memory of the unpleasant past.

And Lady Rodney is very willing that it should be obliterated. Just now, indeed, it is a favorite theory of hers that she could never have been really uncivil to dear Mona (she is always "dear Mona" of late days) but fof the terrible anxiety that lay upon her, caused by the Australian and the missing will, and the cruel belief that soon Nicholas would be banished from the home where he had reigned so long as master. Had things gone happily with her, her mind would not have been so warped, and she would have learned at once to understand and appreciate the sweetness of the dear girl's character! And so on.

Mona accepts this excuse for by-gone injustice, and even encourages her mother-in-law to enlarge upon it,—seeing how comfortable it is to her to do so,—and furthermore tries hard in her own kind heart to believe in it also.

She is perhaps as near being angry with Geoffrey as she can be when one

plains Geoffrey, lightly. Then, taking would be insupportable, and she could pity on Nolly evident agony, he goes on, "that is, you know, we guessed it you weie_ ,so long absent, and—and that."

There is something deplorably lame about this exposition, when you take into consideration the fact that the new. lovers have been, during the past two months, always absent from the rest of the family, as a rule.

that his mother behaved uncommonly badly all through, and that sheer obstfnafcy and bad temper was the cause of the whole matter. "She had made up her mind that you

not forgive you because you weren't," says that astute young man, with calm conviction. "Don't you be taken in, Mona."

But Mona in such a case as this prefers being "taken in" (though she may object to the phrase), and in process of time grows positively fond of Lady Rodney. "In company with so divine a face, no rancorous thoughts could live," said

I will no doubt be dear but Mona, hav-

yond ail expectation. Without doubt, therefore, there is good reason to rejoice over Mrs. Geoffrey.

To this name, given to her in such an unkindly spirit, Mona clings with singular pertinacity. Once, when Nolly nas called her by it in Lady Rodney's hearing the latter raises her head, and a remorseful light kindles in her eyes and when Mr. Darling has taken himself away she turns entreatingly to Mona, and, with a warm accession of coloring, says, earnestly,— "My dear, I behaved badly to you in that matter.. Let me tell Oliver to call you Airs. Rodney for the future. It is your proper name."

But Mona will not be entreated sweetly, but firmly, she declines to alter the sobriquet given ner so long ago now. With much gentleness she tells Lady Rodney that she loves the name that it is dearer to her than any other could

I ever be: that to be Mrs. Geoffrey is the impul-! utmost height of her very highest^ambi-

tion and to change it now would only cause her pain and a vague sense of loss.

So after this earnest protest no more is ever said to her upon the subject, and Mrs. Geoffrey she is now to her friends, and Mrs. Geoffrey, I think, she will remain to the end of the chapter.

THE END. it-

The Undiscovered Draft.

Not a few of those calling themselves students treat their text-books as the ••Family Bible" is usually treated. Of one of these loiterers about the gates of knowledge the following story of how he was taught a lesson is told:

An old tradesman in a French town sent his nephew Alfred to study law at Paris. He gave him an old code annotated by a leading member of the country bar, and said,— "I will pay you a visit in March, and if I am pleased with your progress, I will give you such a tip as will make glad your heart and cause your face to shine."

In Mareh the old gentleman called on his nephew. "Well, Alfred, hard at work, I see. Made good progress with your code? Pretty well through it by this time, I expect?" "Yes, respected sir, my life has been one continual grind. Your venerable friend's marginal notes I found of great service while laboring at the code. "Good boy—excellent young man! You got my draft of course. It is a pleasure to me to reflect that my bounty was not ill-bestowed." "Your draft, uncle? No I never received it." "Show me that code."

The old man opened tho book and showed his stupehed nephew a draft for two thousand francs, dated five months before, which had all the time been reposing between the first two leaves of the code!
