A week, a fortnight -went by; long days of rich unclouded sunshine evenings of tianquil sweetness-even? ings long, and still, all perfumery with the breath of flowers, like those Jack had declared made thc loneli? ness of his empty old house intolera? ble to him; but neither glancing sun? shine nor tranquil sun-set brought my old friend any more to Meadows leigh. I cannot tell all that want was to me-I scarce know myself; and I chafed angrily, as I was forced 1o own that I was powerless to do any? thing but mourn over it. Who but Jack himself could judge how far his presence was fitting in the house where tho sharer of this precious mystery was for the present domiciled ? At the end of the first week I had called at Tho Wild; but Mr. Morti? mer was from home, and not expect? ed to return till night. At tho end of another, I sallied forth once more in that direction. The footway to tho domain called Tho Wild led up through my own grounds, crossed the high road, and entered my friend's by a low gate. The day was one of these same sum? mer ones, bright and still, hot and glowing. Brilliant sunshine steeped all the fields of waving grain, fast ri? pening now to harvest, in floods of golden light; but the arching trees that met overhead, above tho pretty woodland path I walked, only admit? ted here and there glimpses of glow? ing splendor. At length I reached a sudden opening in the trees around me, through which the pathway wound, and, turning into it, I came to an abrupt halt, in utter and un? bounded surprise. Why, what was this, and who were these, standing among the flickering shadows yonder ? Surely I could not mistake that figure, full of graceful lines and flexile curves; I knew every one of them by heart. I knew, too, the downward bend of that golden head, with its pretty rippled hair drawn into a knot behind the ears. I could fancy the very look on the downcast face at this moment, though it was turned from me-and then well-yes, I knew my cousin Beaty's usual walking dress of simple holland, and tho little velvet hat with the bright wing, in which she looked like herself, in short, and like no one else ever did, in my eye? And if this was unmistakably my cousin Beatrice, the tall gentleman in light morning clothes, the set of which was somehow so indescribably loose and easy, who stood hat in hand beside her, speaking so earnestly, and looking so steadily at the bent down face that yet turned towards him too, was no less certainly Mr. John Mortimer. How long had this conference be? tween these two apparently hostile powers lasted ? How long was it going to last ? Was a truce being de? clared, or war determined or. ? Or was peace, mild-eyed and beautiful, hovering sweetly over this commun? ing pair ? How could I tell, who had never been admitted within the mysterious circle that seemed somehow to enclose these two ? Should I advance now, on my way, which led me straight upon the unconscious creatures ? or should I turn back and pretend I had not seen what I had ? While I still remained dubious, pondering these things, Beuly turned and saw mu; and observing that, without a mo? ment's hesitation, she came slowly towards me, and that Mr. Mortimer followed her, I in my turn advanced. I did not care to look too closely into the child's face, as she came up and quietly put her hand within my arm, but I did look at Jack. He colored a little, but he met my eyes very frankly and steadily, and when he held out his hand, it was with the unmistakable look about him, somehow, of a man who never had, who never could do anything he was ashamed to be caught in. "I was on my way to The Wild, Jack." "Were you ? It is well wo fell in, then, for I was coming over to call on Mrs. Marchmont, whom it seems au age since I saw. I met Miss Francis a few yards from here, and learnt she ?was at home." Was that simple inquiry the ono Jack was making so earnestly as I came upon them ? We all turned and strolled back to? wards Meadowsleigh together, I dis? guising whatever curiosity I had under, as 1 flatter myself, a very per? fectly simulated aspect of uncon? sciousness that my companions stood towards each other in any other than j the ordinary relations of a lady and gentleman who met then and there I for the second or third time in their lives; but I speedily arrived ?it the conviction that that confabulation among the trees, which I had" inter? rupted, had partaken of the nature o? a truce, or un accommodation, at least, the demeanor of the contract? ing parties was so evidently in ac? cordance with rules and regulations laid down and agreed upon. Jack did not, as on the occasion of their former meeting in my drawing room, refrain from addressing or even glancing in tho direetiou of Miss Francis. On the contrary, he studi? ously, not to say laboriously, endea? vored to include her in the desultory talk by which wo beguiled tho way and poor little Beaty, with a mannet lamentably differing from her usua one, all the careless flow of her pretty talk sobered into constrained an? measured cadence, gravely followed his lead. I think both were glad whon w< reached tho house, and they wen released from any necessity of keep ing up this show of common inter course. But from this time tin communication between The Wik and Meadowsleigh was resumed npoi something of its old footing; and ye no-for I never now, as I threw u] my window of a morning, and leane? out to inhale the health-giving breez of early morn, was greeted by cheery voice nor gladdened with sight of Jack Mortimer, coming, wit] those long quiet strides of his, acros the dewy lawn of Meadowsleigh i time for an early breakfast. He di not drop into luncheon, nor saunte up at twilight in his old fashion. .1 is true, he might still have come ti some of these times, but never no1 without being asked. Nor did these symptons of a agreed on and regulated demeanc towards each other, which I had d( tccted at first between my cousin an my friend, disappear on continue intercourse. They showed now, in mitigate form, perhaps, but thc were still observable. And over my little cousin a shado had fallen, that, try to hide it as si would, she could not cover from m sight. I could not accuse her ( moping or pining-she did not su lenly turn her back upon life and i duties, refuse companionship, n< decline her daily meals. No; wha ever her trouble was, she strove wit it, as the good, healthy-minded gi she was, and had evidently never thought of giving'up nor giving in. But as I noted sometimes how tl sweet laughter would falter into sm Jen silence-the words lightly hegt end in a sigh-her pretty, childi: beauty deepen, and sadden at time into thoughful womanhood-n heart was sore within me. My litt beauty! thou wert -very dear to m but alas! what human love avails shield its object from the doom of ? the world? I could only stand siler ly on one side, and grieve that it hi come at last upon thee-that burd< and heat of thy day here, which could neither-lighten nor share. And so summer days stole away i noiseless feet, and, with the au tum came that time for Jack, which, '. us hope, is seldom one of rejoiciw pure and unalloyed-that time wh expectation becomes fulfilment, a the heir comes into his kingdom. T kind old maiden lady at Charleswo went quietly to her rest, and Jo Mortimer, of The Wild, was now a lord of the fair domain of Charl wood, and a personage of conside ble Importance in the County win it was situate. But when he came, at last, to I Wild, after some weeks' absence, n we walked under the limes, win leaves shivered silently to the gror beneath our feet, I was vexed to ? serve that my old friend was dispo to treat this fact but lightly, and t in his mood and conversation ge rally there was a discontent } gloom-a'most, quite unwonted him. His sudden appearance, dur my stroll, was somewhat unexpect and I said so as I welcomed him. "I seemed to have been away age, too," he answered, hastily; " I came-upon my soul, I hardly ki why I came, except that I was horr: lonely up at Charleswood, and wonder! Not that Thc Wild is m better, though, only, at any rab don't miss, there, a kind old fa< used tc know. Frank if it had been for the dear old lady, I alu never have come home, I think; since she s gone, I can't do bi than go back again, i declare, were possible, I'd go back to the 1 to-morrow." "In search of society?" Iinqui Jack laughed, but the ner.t ins he sighed. "Ah! you may laugh at the id< a man, who L's been five years ii bush, crying "t at the solitude < old country i . ise, under bael rule; but, I? . tell you, solituc not at all the c. me thing there thing like boredom in the t Frank; and, somehow, a friend's face I seems all tho more worth seeing, ? when yon have ridden over fifty miles I of green slope and swell with that solo end in view. In fact, I think a j mau must go to tho bush before he , really understands tho meaning of i thc word 'neighbor.' No offence, ' you know, old boy." "None in the world; but, for a gen ! tleman of passably engaging man j nors. decidedly handsome means, in j a moderately populous and sociably . disposed neighborhood, to complain ? of solitude, and talk of Hying to tho j bush for society, strikes me as a fact requiring explanation. If Charles wood and The Wild are dull, fill them with friendly faces, dear lad; they are ! never turned away from such as thee." lint Jack shook his head. "The dear old country seems to haw;.grown small, Frank. I feel in the way here." Wo were just at the end of the sha? dowy avenue of limes, as he spoke, and, thc next instant, there was a faint rustle among the withered leaves on the grass, and my Cousin Beaty glided into it and faced us. We both started a little, but the little lady held out her hand to Mr, Mortimer witL ever so quiet a smile, and then swepl away before we could turn and accom pany her. Jack looked after ?her for an in stant, and there was trouble in hit eye. '"Miss Francis is not looking well,' he said; "sho has grown thin anc pale." rv. There was no prettier and cosie: room in all comfortable and pictur esque old Meadowsleigh than tba one appropriated to its master, am called "Mr. Marchmont'sstudy." I was sacred to myaelf, and I was char of allowing the intrusion of my house hold across its threshold, feeling tba thc "business" in which I talked so lemnly of being engaged dubing ; quiet hour or so, when it pleased m to retire from thc bosom ot m; family into its comfortable seclusion might, perhaps, sutler in the respec of its members, if they found ho\ often it was transacted with a ciga between my lips and in a position c recumbency on a lounge couslructe with many cunning'contrivances fe insuring the greatest amount of con: fort, with thc least expenditure of e! fort, on the part of tho individu: who sought its sleepy hollow. The fire had sunk down into a dee red glow on the tesselated hearth, m favorite hound was sleeping peac< fully in its heat, all the room was fu of brooding shadows, and that wave; ing glow from the fire only ver dimly defined the large person c Jack Mortimer, as he lay extende very much at his ease on that san: lounge. A tap at the long window th: opens upon the shrubbery. "If yo please, sir, Jones woul thank ye to walk down to the stahl Lady Betty went dead lame to-da; sir, while ono of the boys had ber 01 exercising, sir." Uttering an anathema upon bo; in general, and stable boys in part cular, I caught up my cap, and ha tened away, without a word of excu: to Jack, who was, moreover, fa asleep. I might, perhaps, have been a sent half an hour, for I had to WJ the veterinary surgeon's arrival ai report upon the disaster of my favc ito mare; and when I presently r entered my sanctum, which I did 1 the window, as I departed, I stoc still a moment surveying the sig that presented itself to my eyes. Not with surprise-no-I flatt myself I had entirely overcome ai tendency to that emotion where Ja Mortimer and my Cousin Beaty we concerned; for, of course, those yow people composed the tableau on whi I looked. It was not otherwise than a pre! one; I am bound to confess th: There was Jack seated easily back my favorite resting-place, and by 1 side-and so very clc;?e, that Jae arm could scarce have found a pc tion anywhere but round her waist nestled Miss Beaty. As far as knew, he had hardly hitherto toucl: tho little finger-tips of my pre cousin, and now-lo-but I was cal and advanced into the charmed cir within the fire-light as if for a h and gentleman, apparently on 1 most formal terms of acquaintan ship, to assume the present relat position of these two, was among most ordinary and familiar ex Hences. "Wish me joy, Frank, old fello said Jack, jumping up then. "I wish you all possible joy," I swered meekly; "none the less : cerely, that I don't in the least ki of what." "I should think it was p! enough, too," Mr. Mortimer ans\ ed, turning to draw Beaty up bei him; "but I am afraid you aro vej old boy, that wo should have hu _"A V_.ii " T . ntuu-t il U1U JiUU ail nillo luise. x ? pose wo have each fancied it other's; but now it can be yours, Frank, if Beaty will tell i ." "Not I, Jack. I cam . here evening meaning to tell Frank, made a sad mess of it." (Here glanced up at Jack, with tho r enchanting look imaginable.) " do it this time. Bit here, Fr: dear." And my little cousin-bless loving heart-seeing that I was gi (which I was, through sheer Ix derment,) and fearing that I wounded, sat down by me on side not next to Jack, and her check lay against my shoulder while I listened. "I don't know whether you ro member my sister Amy, Frank," Jack began; "I -think it is likely enough you may not, for you could not have seen her many times. My home was always at Charleswood with my aunt, and after Amy left school she went to live in Essex- with her guardian. We two were pretty much alone in the world, aud perhaps that was the reason we thought a great deal of one another-at least I know I was very fond of my little sister." "And she thought there was no brother in all the world to compare with hers, aud never tired of talking of him," murmured a voice on my left-Jack Was on my right. "And perhaps I never heard o? Miss Beaty Francis, either, before 1 saw her," answered Jack. "I remem? ber I laughed one day when Am\ was setting forth her perfections, ami said she must introduce me, and per? haps I might bo tho happy man who would win this paragon for his wife Perhaps this unlucky speech of mint first turned my little sister's thought! towards such a thing, though i passed entirely out of my mind; .fo: very soon afterwards Amy fell iut< delicato health, and before man; months were over I knew that wi should not have her long." Jack paused here. When he rc sumed, his voice was lower, an< Beaty's face was hidden against in; shoulder. "It was a sad time, and I don' care to think of it. She sank vcr; rapidly, and ono day burst a blood vessel; after that we knew tho en must come very soon. She knew i herself, too, and pined so much t see her dear little school friend Beat Francis, that her kind old guardia went up to London himself, to be Miss Francis might be allowed to rc turn with him to bid the poor dyin child 'good-bye !' "I have never forgotten that da you came, nor how 1 first saw you, Jack went on, addressing himse now to Miss Beaty, with that involui 1 tary.softening of his deep voice as 1 did so which tells a talc to those wL listen. "Often and often, out in Australi: when I have been sitting quite alor in my hut, with thc level sunset-ligl streaming through thc open door, have seen it all over again. Tin golden light coming across the lo fields, and nickering on tho wa above the sofa where Amy lay, h po< ?r little wasted faco propped upi pillows; and lying beside it, press? close against it, your fresh rosy fae and your yellow hair, so bright ai wavy, mixed with hers, all dark ai straight. I did not think much abo' it at the time, but I suppose ii mu have made some impression. I i membered it all so often afterward then I thought of little but my po Amy. Your coming seemed to ha put new life into her. She h; scarcely spoken for days; now si laughed and talked so gaily, th something almost like hope began wake up in my heart. I look over at you, and said, I remembi that you were the best doctor tl had come near Amy yet, and that thought a few days of your cornpa would do all they had not been at to accomplish. And then-but y remember!" "Yes," whispered Beaty. "I do not," I could not refn from reminding these absorbed cr titres. "I beg your pardon, Frank," turned Jack, with quite a start, had forgotten I was telling you." "So it seems. But go on, myd old fellow." "Think of Amf, then, Frank, a very young, very warm-hearted a loving-romantic, perhaps, and lift by the knowledge that she was dyii above ordinary, evcry-day life; vi sorry for me, foo, whom her de would leave but with very few to c much about mc-think of her so, : then, perhaps, you will underst: how it all carno about; that, hold her friend's hands in lier's, she as! her to promise her something, : mat ii ea ty answerer, JLCS-?xm ly-gladly-anything!" Then, lo ing across at me, Amy asked me tc the same. How could I dream w tho poor child's thoughts were fi on? I answered, as Beaty had d< And then-then-with a light in dying eyes, and a smile on her moi she told us that what she asked of what she had longed for, thor over and prayed for, was, that we would marry. That we had prom to grant her what she asked, and asked that. "Just imagine, if you can, our ful confusion, while we listei Frank; I'm sure I can't depict it only dared, once, look towards ] Francis, and then saw nothing of face-only one little ear and a pa her throat, and they were flushed deep, and, I felt sure, indignante j son. I was unutterably pained ?hocked; but could I reproach little dying sister? I did try to li tho matter off, awkwardly enoug dare say; at any rate, I failed, made matters worse. 'How coi joke on such a subject, or dream she could do so with dying lips?' said. ' "Be angry with her I neither c nor would; and when all was i (she died with her arms ronni neck that night, Frank,) it was left me to try and make the be the matter with Miss Francis. 1 her-at least I tried to-that she never think herself bound by a mise so given-that she need i fear my insulting her by making any | claim upon'it." "Oh, Jack, Jack, you incorrigible j ?old blunderer!" I could no' forbear j I crying out here; "so you as good as j told a lady you would not have her?" "I suppose I did blunder horribly; I've no doubt I did," answered Jack, j seriously; "for certainly Miss Francis "Behaved very foolish, I ami j afraid," here broke in the voice on my left. "But I was very young-only a j school-girl-and the idea would tor I ment me that you might think Amy ; had talked of-of what she wished to j I me before, and that perhaps I knew what the promise she asked referred to before it was given. Thinking this, I felt so horribly ashamed, I could not bear to sec you. I thought ! I never should bo able." j "Only it appears to me thar, you j have changed your mind on that point, miss," pinching the little fin? gers that lay in mine. "Yes, Frank," responded the de? mure monkey. "Since when, pray ? for deuce take me if I can understand how you and Jack, who seemed only this morning as far as tho poles asunder, can have arrived, in the space of half and hour, at the-well-I think I may say without offence, 'close rela latious' in which I found you." "Don't Frank, dear !" whispered Miss Beaty. I'll tell you another time." "iso timo like thc present. Come, Jack. I comprehend now how the hostile attitude came about. Do clear up tho mystery of tho alliance." "It was arrived at very simply, too. Miss Francis and I have been under the mutual impression all this time, that we were respectively disagreea? ble to each other. By a-a little ac? cident this eveuiug we found out that we were mutually mistaken, and so -1 think that will do, Frank." "By Jove ! no, for I declare I'm all in thc dark." "We were in the dark, Cousin Frank," Miss Beaty whispered here, laughing and blushing, I dare say; certainly turning lier face so that it should be invisible to Jack, who had risen by this time and was standing before the lire. "I came in here to talk to you about something that was making mc very unhappy-something I heard you and-and Mr. Mortimer talking of this afternoon in tho ave? nue-about his going away to Aus? tralia for good, I mean. I thought it was you lying on the sofa, Frank. And before I liad found out it was not, I had said-I don't know what. But Mr, Mortimer knew then I did not dislike him; and so-and so-" I "And so poor little Amy's wish has come about, after all, thank God ! And I don't think I shall go farther for a homo now than Charlcswood, unless Beaty particularly prefers the bush," couclnded Jack, coming to i the rescue. ' 'And my shrewd little wife's pre? diction is verified, also," I observed, "that if ever Jack Mortimer married, the lady would have to make the first confession of love. There, Beaty, never hide your face, my dear. Me I thinks a woman need scarce do that, when she owns to loving John Morti? mer, no more at shining uoonday than in the deepening shadows of twilight."
