IN LIFB ANDDEATU.
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
