THE NEW INMATE OF HILFONT A THRILLING STORY OF OLD ENGLAND. CHAPTER IL Not very long after our great trouble but about that time I lost date* for the first week looked like ao many yean, and all the montbi following that were tuch a blank, that to turn back upon them, passion- less and uneventful, they look at if they must have tlid pail likea single day L)er- went thowed me a letter he had just receiv- ed. It wai from a coutin who wai very ill dyin., indeed at one of the German baths, whose illness had been so long taken for granted, that nobody could suppose it to be mortal. Mortal, nWcvir, it hadiud- lenly turned out to her and thii Mr. Crof- ton wrote in sudden alarm and terror to nie head of hit house. He bad an only daughter a motherless and. almost portionless, child. What wat to become of her when he died "Is ii for VIM to de?ide, I'lara/' taid Derwent, putting the letter in my hand. Of course there wai but one decision possible. " Shi mutt come here, ' isid I ; "but who ii to br-ng her? must you? I'oor Child ! I grudge you to go, Derwent ; yet the mnit n>t come alone." " I grudge lo leave my pale Clara." laid Derwent ; " but p*or Croftcu still live*. H* may be making iwice ai much of il at it necessary he alwaya did to we'll write and tee." " I think the man wai dyipg who wrote that letter," siid I ; and the hurried, un- teady hand, the words too earnest in their diction for anything less than 1'ie last ap- peal of nature, were witnesses indisputable.. And to it proved ; for even while we were disruiting this letter, th* writer of it Wat already, dead. The next poet brought ui the intimation. Hit daughter, a girl of eighteen, was totally alone ; we were not even tun- that the had a servant with her. lA-rwent rose up on the moment in one of hit rare bursts of rapid action. Almost be- fore I could say good-bye lo himtelf or 1 had half reali/.ed hit going, he wat away. I wti still heavy with the latiiludi and dullnets of great grief : weak in health, too, for my sorrow hail told upon ma ; and exacting at lonely women are, 1 cannot jus- tify IU I have never Iried to justify myself: but the very suddenneet with which Dcr- went let out upon this mission of mtrcy gave menu in\ ob nintaiy pang. When he wat gone, I went to my window to watch him, a* I alwayi did, and he never looked luck. My mind wai exhausted and irritable. 1 wat not myself. I actually cried with a mortification and annoyance which ai.iax- el me. So thai from the very first moment, one might sty that I w.ti pre- judice I again.it Lucy (Volt. m, and had in connection with her coming a thrill of un- accustomed pain. I lhall not easily forget the night ihe came home. Il was winter, a it. rmy night and snowing heavily. I expected them every evening, but wai not ture that they were joining then. I was myself in the drawing-room. The drawing-room at Hilfont was a very large room, alwayi bright ind cheerful. It had been newly furniuhed al our marriage, fi unshed brightly, with a great dial of gild- ing, and as muoh whiteasl>er*eiit could per - tna.le hi. craftsmen inlotolerating. Perhaps Mr. Croftiin had rather a florid '.as to cer- tainly he liked, with a child's liking, all manner of pretty colors. The carpet had a wh-.le ground, with boqiietaof tin- bright- eat flowers on il. I reinembor how warm and velvety it bmk -.1 under tlm glow from the I'.v. .place, where all the polished -i.. ..ml gilt ornumenU reflected ruddy lii;lii. 'I ho curtains were drawn ; the tire was bright ; the unlightrd warm colored room looked tin very picture of home and comfort. I tat by the tire in a low rasy-cliair, which was my usual se*t. The clock ticked on the mantelpiece ; tin Are sparkled in the grate ; the snow oame with a innllled heavy window. I WP* longing for my compassion evaporated. Every uncon- scious movement she made, every detail of her appearance, helped to extinguish my sympathy. Her big ahawl was thrown on firmly over her arm with rot a shadow of drag in it. Her hair was toimroth on her fore- held, her itep 10 unhen tating, no one could belpfeelingiurethatevery thing Lucy wanted wai there, exact and in the molt beautiful order in that bag which the carried in her hand, and that there waa not the remotest neoettity for untying her bonnet and loot- ening her cloak, and making her ait down by the fire, at I did instinctively. I laid, " Welcome to Hilfont, my dear; are you very tired?" mechanically. They were inch wordi at I ihould have addressed to another girl in her circumstances. And Lucy laid, "How do you do, aunt ?" The girl quite disconcerted me with her compos- ure and lensibleneii. I did not know what to lay next ; while she sat looking up at me, quite brightly, a* if she rather com accustomed to be uieful,"sho added, quiet- ly ; "ancle uyi you nre a good deal alone, Aunt Clara. I should like to be of some use to you, and I hope you will let me try." "Time enough to think of that Lucy," **id I, withdrawing my hand ; "in the meantime you must reit, and recover your strength. I fear you are excrciiing ao unnatural self control, and if it it 10, you will feel the reaction all the more aeverely. Have confidence in us, my dear, and do not think that anything it expected of you, jiut yet at least. I an almost afraid you are keeping up loo well for your own peace." " Oh no, Aunt Clara," laid Lucy, vrith a tear in l>r eye a tear which looked quite sincere, and really teemed to evidence the full ex tent of her emotion. "I am not re- straining myself, I am not very tired, and I am ture 1 shall be all right to-morrow, but I will not keep you; good night." 80 saying, the took my hand again and bent forward to kias me, which farewell token I received in utter amaze and confn- tion, humbly withdrawing thereafter; yet I coul.l no: find the very leatt fault with with her, either. When I looked rocnd from the door, I flattered myself I saw a half wistful, deprecatory look from Lucy, pauionaleii my uiin-aduivn.
