A long, old-fashioned, magnificent room, growing dim and shadowy in the twilight; a room fit to h? haunted, lined with shelves foll of hundreds of :old books; a room that seemed really to bo haunted, as .the white busts gleamed out spectrally through the growing darkness. Far-?tretching, fail en t, and solitary; so large, that the one living figure in it was almost lost and swallowed np in space; so dreary in ita vastness, that it was won? derful any living creature oould endure to stay there. Four great windows, side by side, ' looked ont on a, terrace, where a foun? tain played, and cold white nymphs ptood ns if turned to stone while they' danced. Tho terrace 'was solitary, like tho iron that opened on it; only at one of the windows, leaning , against the frame, and keeping a steady watch through the glass, waa a man. The light was so dim even there that his figure was but just plainly discernible; but it could be seen that he was not old-not, per? haps, quito young, bnt under middle age-slender, pale, worn. . Hin profile against the window, looked almost too delicate for a man; and .bis bond was painfully thin:' That*was all that could be seen-even that only now and then .when ho held np his watch to, catch the light on its face. Suddenly, a soft, almost stealthy; foot came along the gravel. A" woman, wrapped in a large doak, with a hood drawn over her head, came on to tho ter? race; the Ubrary-window swung open, and she stepped in. ? 1 "lb is really you,-Helen, at length!" "Am I late? I could not come soon? er." \| "Not very late-but yon come PO sel? dom now. I suppose I am impatient." She let him toke off her cloak, and stood quite passive while he looked at her for a moment, and theu bent down -and kissed her. She was in a very sim? ple evening toilette; a little woman, but finely and fully proportioned; old enough and beautiful enough to have suited a much richer style of dress than tho plain whit?'sho wore; and with a kind of ?toady calm about her, eveu while she .met her lover. v "01096 the window, please," ishe added, in her composed musical voice; "J want to have a long talk with you, Phillip." Ho obeyed gladly. "I have soarcoly seen you for a week," he answered, "and I have good newB to-night." "You seo me three times everyday is that not enough?". "If you call that seeing. Ar% there to bo no more lessons, Helen?" "I am afraid not. I did not mako much progress last , winter. My aunt noticed it. " His face glowed. "Last winter? No. Bat it was not altogether my fault. How often did you miss comiug?" "Sevoral times, certainly. Anti, Phil? lip, you know my reason." "Lord Daintry was here, and you were often occupied." "Other people as well as Lord Daintry were hero, and I did not wish onr secret to be discovered. You would certainly: have ruined yourself, if I had not boen cautious for both." "Perhaps you are right. But, Holen, it is liard to seo so little of you hs I do now." She was silent for a moment. She had sat down in a great carved arm-chair that stood near tho window, and he, standing opposite to her, leaned against tho pro? jecting side of the recess, and kept his eye) constantly on ber face. "Listen I" she said, looking up at him with a faiut color flickering ovor her calm features. "Don't you think that this constant dissimulation bas lasted long enough? Don't you think this secret keeping ought to bo put an end to?" "Do you consent, then?" he cried, ea? gerly. "Will you risk all au last, and let me speak?" "Hush! hush! You misunderstand _ ?? "For three yoars," he wont on, quick? ly, "we havebeeu living a lie; better the truth,-with any p^na?tj?s. ft may bring, thanto go on like th?T' '?K^a^l?Hfctbin^o.^ t?' "My darling, Ibogan to fear ITknflot .tell vbat., OoJy.t?-n?BX aa.I gaited, I thought you baa tired of 'me; an ", now yoa will givo yourself ^me/Openly !" He knelt at he? (eet-be took one of her bambi aud cotereiLlt w3th.Trisses. . "StayJ', ?she . answered. "Don't de? ceive yourself,' or let me deceive you thai, at least, I have never done." r.Spiaa^OB^o^voioe ^uuded^e ?4 she were trembling, ana forcing uerseTT to stfiiuV on the defensivo "against im no cusation. Sho luid her other baud over bis. two with a kind of reluctant caress. "I mean simply,''.she said, "that our engagemorit ought to b? broken off." Tho clasp of his fin gora relaxed. Ho fell back a little, as if ba had been Btruok, theo rgra?ping b?i[ b^dmpre-nrnjlyrtban before. "You are jesting?" he asked. He F?rfc3aieleBRS jesbfi; bt?t"bTSSd^t in an agony. . II "No, - she answered. "You are hurt? ing me. I am quito in earnest." He got up, turned away from her, and went into the darkness of the room, staggering and catching at the tables and chairs as be wont. She sat still by the window, with the pale light falling upon her golden hair, while she considered what she should next say to bim. He went ad the length of the room, and came br ck to his former place oppo? site her, deadly pale bat ready to listen. "I do not know," she began again, "why I have not Bald this before. I have thought it for some time. We were foolish th roo years ago, both of us; but we are not children now-not boy and girl, that we should not be able to give up our romar ce. Sly aunt's health is giving away, and as yon know, her in? come dies with her; when she is dead, my undo will have to live less expen? sively-ho will think, first of all, of rid? ding himself pf useless encumbrances. In ?net, my home here, snoh as it is, is every day in greater danger. I ought to think of tho future. " "Have yon not thought? and I for yon? Helen, you have been faithful to ma so long, don't, don't, ohange now. For Heaven's cako, be patient a little!" "Is it a question of pn tic nco?" "Yea, only that To-day, this very day. I have had an engagement offered mp. ! She raised ber head a little, with a quick, inquiring movement. She had loved him once, in her fashion; perhaps did still. Sb o had been need to think that, with hi? foot OD tho first step of the ladder of success, he would cortninly reach the top. If he had that first step now, she might still be trno to him. But it struck her that there was a singular hesitation in bia manner. "It 1B a good thing," bo went on, "almost unhoped-for fortune; and yet it has its dark aide. I should have to leave yoa for a year." , "Well?" she said, impatiently, os ii that were a light, thing. "And it comes'/rom a quarter I don't like." "Gan you afford tb have preferences' I.cannot." v "Np, truly. But this is from Mr. Stuart, Lord Daintry's brother. H< wants a private secretary, and will tak< me. It is in itself a much better tIiinf than this, and will lead to something more." "And yet yon do not like it. Whj not, Phillip?" "I think you know. Yon will say it ii foolish; but, except for tho sake af mak ing sure of you, I would not take it With your promise, and for your sake, I will." "And that very promise would deprivi you of it. .No, L'hilip, you must tak< it-the first chance of prosperity whiol hos come to you; but you must take i Without me." "Never. Why, but for you, should '. care for it? I have all the necessaries o life here-and you." He came to her side and laid his ham softly on her hair, .which still gleamci golden through the half darkness; bu she leaned back in her chair, moving'be head from und?r his.touch. ""I have something to tell you, also, sho said, "and you. will not hke to ben it. This morning, I had a letter whicl is of importance to both of ns." She paused a moment, shook off al hesitation, and went on quickly. "Lord Daintry wishes mo to marr him. He is rich, and I am tired o poverty; he is anxious to give me a home and I am certain soon to want one Ought I to refuse him?" "You have accepted him? Your won to me is nothing, Helen?" He spok brokenly and liarshly. "Not yet. I must anewor this lotte to-morrow." Suddenly bo fell, half kneeling, befor her, grasping hor .hands again passion ately. :^ . "You cannot do itl" ho cried. "Yo oro mine, ?pd I will not gi va yoa np. could not live and lose you." "Hush, pray hush, dear Phillp!" sh answered, Boothing him as if he were n intractable child. "You seo thai I hav como to consult you. I have doo nothing, said nothing yet, that you nee complain of." "You come to consult me?" be ri peatod, bitterly. "Do you como to n.s me wti?thor I will give you up to thi mau who is rich, and cnn mako you countess?" "Honestly, yes." "And you said you loved me!" "I did-I do. But you know what nm, and what our prospects, both of u are. I don't think I could bear to liv in a small bouse, to have everythic about me poor and miserablo an straightened. It has been bad enoug hero as a dependent. It grows won and worse as I grow older. I am weal if my life. Release me, Philip. Let 1 each soek something better for ourselvi than this hopeless waiting." "I, too, am weary of my life." rjii^ih, ii 'lilli [jij,)" \u unan ,.; He got up dud stood facing ber. while she also, startled by . something ip his tune, rose, and waited with her nana I upon the arm of ber chair. "Helen," he went b'b, '"there has been one inequality between us always. You have, where you choose, nu irani wilk ; I ?om natnrj?ibjT.we^k?-;eaai]y. persuaded. 1 Yo? have-made, up your mind .to^breuk ?our word to me, and to marry this earl, .on will do it: But for once I amas resolute ns you; Here mathis very plac? where three years ago'-you promised solemnly, in the sight of Heaven, to be my wife-hore, whefe yoii have over and over again repented your'promise, I tell you I never will release you frpin it. Go, marry whom you will-get all-the good you can from tho bargain; but, married or single, rich or poor, living or dying, yon are mine!" He had raised his hand with a threat? ening gestbre. His words sounded like a curse, for all her steady nerves, she shuddered. . ; , . - - - "Philip 1 hear reason-let me spe^t-" she cried. . "No moro. Ii J have, been blind, it has been wilfully. Now I soo. But you oro bound', now and forever, iu Uf? and in death. He broke from her, and.rushing away, through the window, past the white nymphs, was lost instantly iu the dark? ness. The little church at Gaysborough stood withiq the .park. It was older than the press?t hnrV-small, 'qfaaidt, and very peaceful in its aspect. The hall had seen many change?-bad had its days of splen? dor, and bf niter ruin-of renewal and of gradual decay, following the varying for? tunes of its lords; but the church, through its centuries of existence, had lost little and gained much. It had been draped with black for many a funeral; it had been deoked with flowers for many a bridal; bidden away in its old registers lay the ohrouiole of each generation from Sir Hugh Gaysborough, in the time of Henry VIII, to Edward, last of the race, who had been obliged to mariya rich woman lest tho scanty remains of his father's lands should slip from him even while he lived. And to-day there was to be another wedding from the hall. The morning had been fair and lovely -village children were ont early gather? ing flowers and weaving garlands, ac? cording to their custom, to strew the bride's path; but at 10 o'clock all was changed. A heavy black cloud rose up from the horizon, and passed before the sun; a strong, fierce wind seemed to fol? low it, and, shrieking around tho church, swept the flowers from the path, and tore down the arch above the gateway. It fell with a oraah upon the roof of the carriage, -which that moment passed, car ?'ing Helen Fortescue to her marriage, he startled horses plunged, and could hardly be drawn up at the church door; but the bride stepped out, calm as ever, though her face was deadly pale, and its delicate lines drawn into unnatural hard? ness. Her uncle, a feeble querulous old man, followed her trembling, and ae they passed into the aisle) the storm burst. Sheets of rain fell like a deluge, vivid flashes of lightning - shone, and quick terrific peals of thunder rattled over the building. . The party gathered around the altar, but there was a minute'* {>ause while the clergyman waited for ? nil in the storm before ho commenced the service. ' The lull came-heavy, death-like, omi nous. The darkness seemed to increase, but through the silence the clergyman*! voice was heard, low and unsteady al first, but rising fuller and clearer ead moment, till ho came to the words, "Ii any man can show' just cause .why tho-j may not lawfully be mined together, lei him speak, or else hereafter forever boh bis peace." Then at that instant a peal of th nuder louder than before, shook the building crash after crash.it came,-and in th* midst of it a voice cried, "There is ? cause. Before God, I forbid this mar ringo." But the thunder and the ?oic? ceased, and the speaker was invisible Tho frighted guests looked nt each other and theu into the dim corners and re cesses of tho church, but there was n< one but themselves, and the old sextoi cowering and trembling behiud a monti ment. Tho brido caught at the altar rail, but neither cried out nor fainted; tin bridegroom glanced round haughtily hiding his dismay under a show Of pride The vicar, stepping back, called alouc for the unknown to come forward, bu none auswered. A second and a thin time ho called, but in vain. Then the; began to Bay that it must havo beer fancy-that the thunder had sounde< like a voice-and that the marring nh enid go OU. So it wont on. "I require aud chorgi you both, as you will answer at th dreadful day of judgment, wheu the se crets of all hearts shall be disclosed, tba if either of you know of any impedi ment why ye may not be lawfully joiuei together--" A strong shudder seized the bride, nm shook tho cloudy folds of her; veil; bu she repressed iL, making no sign of hesi tation. Then, in tho pause after tba solemn adjuration, there carno onotbe mysterious response, audible through a tho church; an inarticulate sound, tba was neither sigh nor groan, but mor full of despair than over was eitbei And still there was no one visible. 1 might have been some strange effect c tho wind, which still swept in storm gusts round the building, ruttliug tb windows and whistling through the crt vices iu tho stone-work. But, wbutevf it might be, it was not repeated. Tb marriage Went on, and Helen, Couutes of Daintry, turned from tho altar to r< oeive the congratulations of ber frieudi "But, oh, my doar," said ono lady t her grand-daughter, as they drove hom to tho ball, "it is an ill-omened weddin? She tried hard for him, and she has gc him; and I believo in my heart that sh is a woman who would get what sL wanted if she had to step over the bod of her best friend to reach it. But it a strange wedding!" ? ... uwmi ,j 11[*m .j!, -i i - "Groud-inamma, don't say snell horrid thingst She is excessively handsome, and clever,.and charming, I don't won? der ne fell in love with her." "Charming!" and the old lady laughed scornfully. "Yes, they say poor Philip Conway Ionud that ont long ago-as well as. others." ,.,* "Philip Conway? Her uncle's secre? tary?' Why, grand-mamma, you would not ?et me bo civil to him." "You? That's a different thing. He's her cousin, a few times removed, pud quite ns good as sbpf> is. However, it's not my ^affair1-heir''^ours. TJgb! what raiu!" TO BE CONTINUED. . r , 1 White Sulphur Springs, Greenbriar County, Weat Virginia.
