After sen ice 1 heard Mr. Ray nor telling the doctor and two of the farmers anout the races he had been to the week before, and of his having won tifteen pounds. He asked Mrs. Rcade whether her husband was ill—as he was not at church—and did not seem at all affected by the cool manner in which she answered him. ••I had the pleasure of lunching with a relative of yours.

Rayner, with more affability in her haughtiness, when Haidce and 1 started on our walk home. At dinner Mr. Rayner gave us part of their conversation, with an excellent parody of the lady’s manner and a funny exaggeration of the humility ol his own. On that afternoon I was scarcely out side the gate on my way to enureb when he joined me. ■ “No, no, Aliss Christie; we are not i l" iniy.

The last words gave a shock to me. I had never heard tl toward me from the house.

Sarah had an ad mi nr, a man some years younger than hci ielf, who lived a long way off—and who paid her visits at irregular inten nils. going to trust you to go to church by [ , took great interest in this yourself again.” ' i love-alia, r, am} derived much amuse- When we passed the park, I saw Mr. ‘ Laurence Reade, dressed for church, finishing a cigar, with his back against a tree. I had never seen him look cross before, and I thought it a pity that he should spoil his nice kind face by such a frown; and I wondered whether he was ill-tempered, and, if not, what had annoyed him. After seeing Mr. Reade dressed for church I naturally expected him to come, and I had an absurd feeling like disappointment as the service began and he did not appear. 1 caught my-1 self looking up whenever the door creaked and a late worshiper came in. But he did not come. The heat, and my annoyance over this absurd trifle, distracted mv atten-i tion so 1 hardly heard a won! of the sermon. Presently I noticed that Air. Rayner, who always looked more de vout than any one in the church, was really asleep silt the time. When he r marked, as wo were walking home after the service, that the sermon was jpaid of its kind, I had to turn my head away that he might not see me smiling. But I was not quick enough. “ I didn't say what kind, Aliss Christie. I may have meant it was good as a lullaby. Are you shocked?’’ “ O, no, Mr. Rayner!” “ And how did you like the ser mon?” “I—I wasn't listening much. Air. Rayner.” “Not listening! A religions little! girl like you not listening! I’m sur prised—I really am. ” His manner grew suddenly so grave, and ho really seemed so much sur prised, that 1 felt called upon to make a sort of profession. “ I’m not really religions,” I said, hurriedly. “ But I do resjwct religi ous people very much, and I hope some day T she if he able to enter into their feelings better than I can now. I do pray for it,” 1 ended, almost in a whisper. ’ * Air. Rayner took my hand very kindly. “It will come, child, It will come,” he said, gravely and quite paternally. "Go on quietly doing your duty as you do, and the blessing will come in due time.” He said it so simply, without any attempt at preaching, that I felt I looked up to (dm more naturally than even to a clergyman. And when, after tea, he asked me to accompany his vio lin on the piano while he played Alo- zart's Twelfth Alass, the fervor which he put into the beautiful music in spired me with a corresponding exalta tion of feeling, such as no sacred music had ever woke in me before. At the end of the evening Mr. Rayner held out hit hand with a grave smile. “Yon are the best accompanist lhavc ever met; you catch the spirit of this sacred music perfectly. To-morrow night I shall prove whether you are so accomplished a reader of secular mu sic. Good-night, my dear child.” And he bent down to kiss me. But le vaded him, trying at the same time to make my movement seem uncon scious; and, with a smiling “Good- nieht,” I left the room. As soon as -I had done so my heart sunk within me. What had 1 done? Probably offended Mr. Rayner beyond recall by what must seem to him an absurdly strained piece of prudery. It looked as if 1 thought mvself a jicrson of such attraction’that lie wanted to kiss me to please himself, instead of an insignificant little girl whom he was going to kiss good-naturedly, as he might have done If he V.ad been her fa ther. But then lie was not my father, and not nearly old enough to be so, however paternal and kind his manner might be. So I comforted myself as well a* I could with the thought that, after all, I had done only what was right and prudent; and, if he was offended, well, there was help for it The next morning, to my great Hof, his manner was just the same as usual I wondered whether I should he summoned to the drawing-room to accompany him on the violin, as he had spoken on the previous night of wish ing me to do. But at tea he was much preoccupied, and told Sarah that a gen tleman would be coining to see him presently, who was to be shown into the study. As be turned to say this, I noticed a sudden flash of horror pass over Mrs. Rayner s pale features, and disappear in a moment hefor' her husband could ■ce her face again; and 1 thought I saw ! on Sarah’s dark face a look of intelli-1 genee when the order was given her, ; as if she too knew something about the expected visitor. I tried not to think any more about it. I was very anxious to improve niyeeH, so I might be able to take an engagement as a finishing governess. I had a chapter to read in Guizot’s French History; but that was , easy work, and might be en- . the garden. I had seen the • as I was crossing the hall after Se was a small, slight man, with a fair mustache, who might be old or young, and, although he wow only a traveling-suit, he gave one the i of being very well dressed — I had forgotten all about him loan before 1 made but way. ment from it; he had somehow discov ered that the admirer, whose name was Tom Purkes, was inclined to pav more attention than was meet to the kitchen- kinid, .lane; and it was Mr. Ravner’a opinion that there would be very little left of Jane if she encouraged the fickle swain’s attention. Sc Sarah was giving vent to her jeal ousy in an earnest and intimate conver sation with her master’s guest. It seemed a very strange proceeding. “Look what I’ve done for him; think how I've worked for him!” she ssid. “He would never be where he is now if it wasn’t for me. Does he think bis new fancy will _pl an for him and plot for him. and risk—" “Hush, hush—don’t speak so loud! Where’s >ur old discretion, Sally?” “Let him look for discretion in Miss Baby, with her round face and her child’s eyes. Docs he think he can make use of her? Nonsense! It wants a woman that’s strong in her head and strong in her limbs to do the work he wants done, and not a soft little chit like that!” “Depend upon it, he is only amusing himself with the little simpleton,” the man said, soothingly. But she interrupted him in a tone of half-suppressed savagery that made me shudder. “Amusing himself, do you say? Looking at her, talking to her, not be cause he wants to make use of her, but because he likes her, loves her”—she hissed—“aj he lias never loved any ot his poor tools, though they were hand somer a thousand times than this wretched girl! If I thought that, I'd for her, and for him, if spoil her beauty 1 I hanged for it!” Oh! what an awfni woman! And all because poor little Jane was younger and prettier t|pm herself, and liad had the misfortune to attract the attention of her unprincipled lover! The man spoke again, this time very gravely. “.Sally, don't do anyting foolish," said he. “Jim isn’ a fool, and he knows how to repay services like yours. Why, he'might have thrown you ovei with the rest when—" i could near no more; they had gomr too far. I waited till their voices had died away, and then dashed from my perch, throngh the plantation up to my room, locked the door and sat down appalled. What a terrible tragedy In the serv ants’ hall we were likely to have if things went on like this! If Mrs. Ray ner had been only s woman, not a statue, 1 would have confessed all to her; but, as it was, it would do no good. It was not the sort of thing I could tell Mr. Bayner. There was nothing for it but to hope that Jfttle Jane would be wise and leave off pro voking Sarah, and that Providence woo la bring Sar&h herself to a better mind. But what a dreadful woman to have in the house! And why had the stranger spoken of Tom Parkes as “Jim?” cha pteb vl The next morning I woke np with zthat strange feeling of oppression which is caused by something unpleas ant heard the night before. 1 soon re membered what it was, and tried to shake off the recollection of the talk in the plantation and of Sarah's vindic tive tones. I looked at her searchingly as she came in demurely to prayers with the cook and poor little Jane, and I copld not help thinking that Tom Purkes, or “Jim, as the stranger had called him—bnt then a man of sneh a desperate character as they had de scribed him to be would have a dozen alimcs might be excused in preferring the simob. i ttle kitchen-maid Jane to that forbidding-looking shrew. I had seen Tom Parxes two or three times ami should have supposed him to be stolid and good-humored, and cer tainly not the man to rale the formi dable Sarah with a rod of iron. That afternoon when Haidce and I returned from a walk we passed the servant’s entrance. Tom Parkes was sitting oat- side the door, eating bread and cb< “ I am so ignorant," said I, humbly; ‘and I want some day to be able to teach girls much older than Haidce, so that I have to read to improve myself. And 1 don’t read only dry tilings. This morning I found time to reau nearly the whole of yesterday’s paper.” “Well, there was nothing in it, w there?” Yes, several things, among them an account of that bit; burglary. “What burglary?” “A large house in Derbyshire, be- longmg to Lord Dalston, was broken into Wednesday and many valuable articles stolen. They say it looks like the work of the same hand that com mitted several large jewel robberies some years ago. ” > “Whoso band was that?" “Ah, they don’t know. The man was never discovered.” “That is mere newspaper common place. To imply that there is on’y one thief in England with skill enough to oaffle the police raises him into a half divinity whom It Is quite excusable not to catch." “Well I hope they will catch this one." “Why, what harm has he done yon?” “I believe you have more sympathy with the thieves than with the police men," said I, laughing. “I have, infinitoly more. I have Just the same admiration for the successful diamond robber that you have for Robin Hood and Jack Sneppard." “Oh, but that is different!” I broke in, hotly—for I always put down “Robin Hood’’ as "my favorite hero.” "Oh, yes, it is very differeut, I know!" said Air. Rayner, maliciously. “Robin Hood wore Lincoln green and carried a picturesque bow and arrow, while Sheppard’s costume, in colored prints, is enough of itself to win any woman's heart.” “Well, Air. Rayner, their very ap pearance, which yon laugh at, shows them to be superior to the modern burg “Have you ever seen a modern burg lar?” “No; bnt I know what they look like. They have fustian caps and long, protruding upper lips, and their eyes are quite close together, and thqjr lady loves are like Nancy Sykes.” “I see. Then yon don't sympathiss with a criminal unless he is good-look- Inr, nicely dressed, and In love with a lady of beauty and refinement?” ‘Oh, Mr. Rayner,” I cried, “you ow I don’t sympathize with criminals all! Bnt Robin Hood and Jack Sheppard lived in different ages, when people were not so enlightcnwl as tjicy are now; and, besides,” said I, “I don't know what the real Robin and Jack did; but the Robin Hood and Jack Sheppard of the novels and poems that I can’t help liking and admiring, robbed only rich people who could afford to lose some of their ill-gotten weslth.” “But all wealth Is not ill-gotten,” interposed Mr. Rayner, mildly. “It was then,” I went on hastily— “at least, generally. And Robin Hood didn't rob the good rich people, only the bad ones; and most of his spoil be distributed among the poos, you know,” I finished, triumphantly. “It won’t do. Miss Christie," said he, shaking his head mournfully. “I hap pen to Know something about this Lord Dalston whose house was broken into; and he is a very bad rieffi person in deed, much more so than the poor old abbots whom your favorite Robin Hood treated so roughly. He ill-treated his mother, stole and squandered his sis ters’ fortunes, neglected hit wife and tried to shot her np in a luna tic asylnm, knocked ont in pas sion the left eve of one of his own grooms, ha<f embezzled money be fore he was twenty-one and now owes heavy debts to hall the big tradesmen in London. Bo that he is something like a thief. Now, If yon were to find out that the man who hqd the chiel hand in planning the robbery of this wicked rieh man’s property was youne, good-looking, well-dressed, a large sub scriber to charities, and in love with a pretty lady-like girl, you ought, if you were logical, to admire him as much as yon do Robin Hood, and more than you do Jack Sheppard.” “Oh, Mr. Rayner," I said, joining In his laughter, “how absurd! Bnt it is too bad for you to make fun of my logic. I can’t put it properly; but what I mean is this: In those days the laws were unjust, so that even good men were forced into defiance of them; but now that the laws are really, upon the whole, fair, it is only wicked peo ple who disobey them.” “Then you don’t like wicked people, Miss Christie?" * “ Oh, Mr. Rayner, of course not! 1 wouldn't speak to a wicked person if I knew it." “ Bnt you can't You won’t be able to tell them from the good ones, except that they arc nicer; and by the timeyou at was with out an answer. He got up and came toward me, when a shrill cry as from out of the ground caused him to start. It was the only sound that ever drew forth such a display of ordinary tinman weakness from self-possessed Mr. Ray ner. It came from the lips of his baby daughter Mona, who, ragged, dirty and withered-looking as usual; had walked or crawled throngh the mud and rushes till she had silently taken her place in the long grass a little way from us, and who now, seeing her fatner approach, had given vent to her extraordinary dislike of him in her usual undatifui manner. For one moment I saw in the dnsk a look pass over Mr. Rayner's face which made me catch my breath;and,quickly as It passed and earn place to a light laugh, it bad frightened m« and made me long to eacaps. Mona was an ex cuse. “Oh, yon naughty little girl to be ont so late at night-and without a hat! Sarah must have forgotten you. Come I must take you in now. Bo a good girl. and come with me.” Mona had somehow come to regard me with less animosity than she did most of the honsehold. Bo she let me take her in mv arms and gave only one more yell when her father shook hands with me and accidentally touched her dirty little shoe. I gave her to Sarah in the hall; then 1 went into the school room, and, moved by some spring of vanity, took my candle to the mantel piece and looked at myself in the glass above it. As I looked at my dark gray eyes brighter than usual, and remembered that Mr. Rayner had spoken of me as a beautiful woman, my cheeks flushed with gratified vanity, 'and the thought that flashed though my mind was: “Does Mr. Laurence Reade think mo- beautiful.” I had not noticed I was not alone in the room until a harsh, ironical voice broke the silence: “Yes, it’s a pretty face Ight to now, and you do right to set store by it, for It won't last very long—not long; in s few years it will be all lines and wrin kles, and not worth looking at; and you'll tuin away in disgust from the glass, thinking of how yon used to look, and how the men used to look a you—the fools!” 1 had turned, and was looking a' Sarah’s hard, cruel face as she stood with Moda still fn’ her arms, her eyei flashing scornfully on me as she hisset’ out the spiteful words; so 1 said, gently “I suppose we women all think mort than we ought about our looks some times, Sarah; but after all they are r very important matter to every woman, and make a great deal of difference U her life. You know you must be glad not to be ugly, Sarah. 1 ’ 1 own this was a little bit of innocent flattery, for I did think her very nglj —and I thought I had never seen nei look so hideous as she did as she stood there glaring at mo—bull was anxioui to soothe her at all hazards, and 1 wai thankful to see that the bait took. “Handsome is that handsome does,” she said, less viciously; and with a tost of her head she left the room. |T0 BE CONTISMJKD.J Why Was It Unit Ayer’s Sanapsrllla, out ot the great number ot simitar preparations manulsc- tureil throughout the world, was the only medicine of the kind admitted at the World’s Pair, Chicago?
