CHAPTER III.
The very day after Gwen’s
flight into history Mr. and Mrs.
Waring walked up to the Recto-
ry and got through their talk
with the master of it
They might not have been al
together so prompt, being still
absorbed body and soul in the
skeleton, but that, not only was
Gwen suffering tortures from
the state of her skin through
the combined action of paint,
paraffin, and other ungents, but
into the bargain she had caught
a bad and a quite abnormally
noisy cold, which kept her pres
ence en evidence by fits and
starts whenever she broke loose
from the nursery, and which
was a weapon judiciously wield
ed by Mary to keep her parents
well up to the mark.
They had delivered themselves
to Mr Fellowes, and were now
walking down the Rectory
drive, both looking a little pain
ed. Mr. Waring’s disengaged
hand was pressed to his fore
head and his brows were knit,
and Mrs. Waring looked as if
she were engaged in a silent
struggle against disturbing
thoughts.
The air was still and soft, and
some stray stars had already
taken possession of the evening
sky, where the little streaks of
rose, left by the sun, looked
quite out of place, and felt it
too, seemingly, for they were
creeping behind the hills with a
soft little shiver of dismay, like
a timid guest who suddenly dis
covers that every soul but him
self has left.
The silence and the calm
helped Mr. and Mrs. Waring,
who were both trying to throw
off the consideration of minor
matters and to return to that
of vital affairs. Generally so
easy, like the slipping back of a
pair of seals into the water af
ter a rugged land journey, to
night thh seemed a strangely
hard task to tackle.
They often seemed to receive
the same impression at the same
moment, and something or oth
er in the bright glow of the
Rectory study and in the per
fectly at home and at-ease air
of a pair of twins that the Rec
tor’s wife had temporary charge
of, and had brought in to say
good-night, had given them a
little jar which would keep on
quivering.
These were not sufficiently
tangible sensations for discus
sion, there seemed nothing in
them that these two persons
could seize upon and argue from
to any purpose, so they were
struggling to put them behind
them. Mr. Waring succeeded,
hiswife was not so fortunate. The
vague feeling was quite like a
jack-in-the-box for sudden ap
pearances during the next few
days, and whenever it sprang
up, a little ache followed hot on
the heels of it
At last she made a supreme
effort to regain her reason, and
remarked with rather deceptive
cheerfulness:
“I think, dearest, we may
now dismiss this matter from
our minds. I am quite willing
to trust it in Mr. Fellowes’
hands, as I presume you are.
You do feel perfect confidence
in him?” she questioned a little
anxiously, as Mr. Waring did
not speak for a moment.
“Darling, yes!” he said with
a start, “in this matter certain
ly yes, this is quite within his
role, I do not think we could
find a wiser helper or counselor.
And he is so thoroughly a gentle
man, he so kindly waived his
theological objections wl^en he
found that on this part of the
question we had both arrived at
a fixed conclusion. Yes, in the
choice of a tutor we could de
sire no better adviser. At the
moment you spoke I was specu
lating upon Fellowes from an
other point of view} I am really
quite astonished that a man so
advanced in some phases of
thought should be so limited, so
—almost retrograde—in others,
and above all, so strangely con
tent with his life, with hardly
a moment in it for undisturbed
reflection, and no moment at
all for any attempt at valuable
work. I cannot imagine either
where he finds companionship.”
He paused to sigh. “We have
so little time, love, to give to
him, time is so very much to us.
Our other neighbors seem to
hunt vyhen they do not fish, and
fish when they do not hunt, they
can have neither time nor
strength left for intellectual cul
ture. Then Mr. and Mrs. Fel
lowes nave, I believe, duties;
they sit on Boards and Councils
and no doubt folloiy other pur
suits of like order, but as com
panions, naturally they must be
impossible. Then as to his wife,
she is, is she not, dearest ? I am
so very poor a judge—but I do
pot perceive any glimmerings
of thought in her. You can bet
ter judge of her, dear, have you
ever discovered any?”
Mrs. Waring considered a
moment then she shook her
head.
“I do not think I have expect
ed any,” she said, “so indeed I
have hardly looked. I have
only thought of her kindness
and of her knowledge of child
ren and their feeding. I am
very fond of her and so very
grateful but I have never once
really talked to her.”
“I thought so—it is strange—
strange. However, I am most
thankful this business is done,
we may now be able to begin
those papers to-night—1 look
forward with much pleasure to
them. Curious what very op
posed views we take on this sub
ject—h’m, I fancy I am right,
dear.”
Mrs. Waring thought not, and
signified the fact by a very de
cided shake of her sweet golden
locks, that looked more like
spun silver in the moon’s rays.
They had now reached the
great flight of steps that flank
ed either side of the entrance
door.
When they got to the top, by
one accord they paused, and
leaned over the castellated ivy-
clad wall that protected the
platform of granite slabs con
necting the two flights of steps,
and gazed out into the evening,
but a sudden horrible sound
made Mrs. Waring jump ner
vously, then quiver from head
to foot, and caused her hus
band’s brows to contract as
sharply as if there had been a
spring in them.
It turned out to be Gwen
scraping an old violin and cough
ing frightfully all down the cor
ridor.
“Dearest, do you think we
should summon Dr. Guy?” said
Mr. Waring when they had
somewhat recovered.
“Oh no, love, Mary assures
me there is no danger whatever,
she calls that dreadful noise a
‘simple stomach cough’.”
“In that<*ase we must request
Mary to keep her in the nursery,
such noises are most upsetting.
Pray be as quick as you can,
my darling, we might get to
work at once. But surely it is
not the gong I hear?”
“Love, I fear it is only too
true.” cried Mrs. Waring in
trembling distress. “I had no
idea of the lateness of the hour,
and oh, Henry, we were late
again yesterday and the ser
vants were quite upaet. Oh.
you will be quick with your
dressing, will you not?”
Then with one last little hand-
squeeze she fled to her room
with a terrified glance into the
solemn face of a hurt-looking
footman.
CHAPTER IV.
When he had bidden farewell
to the Warings in his porch and
watched them curiously till a
clump of firs hid them from him.
Mr. Fellowes went back to his 1
study with a very curious assort
ment of expressions on his fape;
there was a good deal of amuse
ment there, a decided touch of
sadness, much doubt, and some
dismay.
He had, however, little time
to reduce his confusion to order;
an impatient tap at the door
was followed by the entrance of
a bright, eager little woman, in
a long trailing garment of a
curious combination of heliotrope
and pale yellow.
“John, are you ready for me?
May I hear all of it?” she de
manded, putting her little hand
on his big ones.
“I feel in rather a yeasty con
dition at this minute, but I’ll
subside shortly, no doubt. Will
you be able to hold out a little
longer?”
“Haven’t I borne it for two
mortal hours and twenty min
utes? Were they talking all the
time? I was in an awful fright
it was something I mustn’t hear.
Two scientists in trouble about
their souls, perhaps?”
“Fortunately I can divulge
all I know, but you needn’t be 1
flippant. It’s all very funny,
but it’s just as woefully sad.
What on earth are you at?”
“finning up my skirts, the
fire would ruin this color in a
night. Do you like my gown?”
I do, but whether the parish
will, is another question.”
“Oh, never mind the parish,
I’ll teach it; you have no idea
how easy it is to get round peo
ple if you know the track, Is
that yeast risen high enough or
has it gone sad? Remember I
have held out a frightful time.”
“Hold out another five min
utes while I write a note, I must
catch this post.”
When Mr. Fellowes brought
his little spYpnteen years’ old
wife home to the respectable
parish of Waring, just four
years before this time, it was
the generally received opinion
of most competent judges that
he had a good deal tP wswor
to the parishioners, who were
in consequence put to much
trouble and inconvenience in
rubbing up their imaginations
to tackle the case, having no
previous experience to go upon.
A deceased Colonel, of whom
they knew a great deal too much,
and a living peer, of whom on
the contrary, they knew agreat
deal too little, both inhabitants
of the country, had indeed mar
ried Americans, the results in
the one case being disastrous;
of the other they possessed no
S iroven data, but they were at
east at liberty to draw their
own conclusions. But for a par
son to do this thing! It was un
heard-of, and partook of the na
ture of a scandal. Then Mrs.
Fellowes was pretty and gay,
and it must be confessed ch ic.
They could have put up with
the prettiness and even the
brightness—they were used to
certain varieties of both these
things in their own girls,—but
the cfctcness/—that was the
quality theirsoulsstruck against,
it seemed expressly to have
been sent by Satan himself “to
buffet them withal.” And the
girls dress for a clergyman’s
wife, was simply audacious!
And yet when a large and rep
resentative female conclave had
met and dissected her “things”
over half a dozen teas, they
were forced to the conclusion
that she had not a complex or
expensive article in her whole
wardrobe.
“So much the worse,” Lady
Mary the leader of the parish
ton, remarked and with some
reason too, “it is the girl who
stamps the clothes. There is
s o m e t h i n g fundamentally
wrong there.”
This being put in the form of
an axiom spivad widely and
carried much weight.
This was four years ago, how
ever, ai d things had changeu a
good deal, Mrs. Fellowes’ hus
band was no fool. He knew
what he was about when he
brought home, as the finish to
the one long holiday of his life,
the little New England girl to
be his helpmeet.

An interesting state of af
fairs is presented to Governor
Carr, of North Carolina. Two
men named Hall and Hadley,
while standing in Cherokee
County, N. C., fatally shot one
Bryson, who at the time was in
Tennessee. The Supreme Court
of the Old North State disclaim
ed jurisdiction and the murder
ers were released and at once
rearrested and their extradition
demanded as fugitives from
Tennessee justice. They resist
extradition on the ground that
they are citzens of North
Carolina, had not been in Ten
nessee, did not commit the
crime there, and, therefore are
not fugitives.

doctors she had Consumption
and that there was no hope for
her, but two bottles Dr. King’s
New Discovery completely
cured her and she says it saved
her life. Mr. Thos. Eggers, 139

proaching Consumption, tried
without result everything else
