Help me on with my l^Lit and say uo more about it.' Little Ninon knew a good deal bet- ter than to dispute Miss Dangerfleld's mood when Miss Baugerfleld spoke io that tone. Miss Dangerfielil had box- ed her ears before now, and was very capable of doing it again. Perhaps, on the whole, smart little Ninon rath er liked haviue her ears impetaously slapped by her impulsive young mis- tress, and the tingling cured, as it iu- variably was, by the present of Miss Katheiine's second best silk dress half- an-hour after. Looking very bright and dashin?, if not in tho least pretty, the heiress of Scarswood Park ran lightly down the slipiery stairs, out of the vast vaulted ball, where statoes gleamed and suits of mail worn by dead -and gone Dan- gerfields centuries before/flashed back the sunshine.

The who*^ sky waa dark â€" there was that oppressive heat and slilluess m the air that usu- ally precedes a thunder-storm. •Ooming I' Misd Dangerfield thought, vaulting into her saddle. *Now^ then, llderim, my beauty, my darUug, out- strip the storm if you can I' 8he was off Uke wmd, aad In a few minutes the town lay far behind her. But fate had decreed to take sid«s with Boberts. On the bare downs, treeless and houseless, the lightning leaped ont like a two-edged sword. There came the booming crash ol thunder, then a deluge of rain, and the mid-day sum- mer tempest was upon her in its might. The swift, sudden blaze of the lightning in bis eyes startled the ner- vous system of llderim. He tossed his little black Arabian head in the air with a snort of tenot, made a bound forward and fied over the grassy plains with the speed of au express train, 'A runaway, by Jove 1' A man darted forward with the cry upon his Upd, and made the agile spring of a wild cat at Ilderim's bridle- rein. A moment's struggla, and then the spirited Arab stood still under the grasp mM 'ui iron hand, qoivering in every limb, and his mistress, looking down from her saddle, met full two of the most beaotiful eyes into which it had ever beeu her good fortune to look. It was Mr. Qastou Dantree, the handsome, silver- voiced tenor of last night's concert, and a flash of glad sarprise lit up her face, 'Mr. Dantree I' she cried, 'you I and in this tempest, and at so opportune a moment. How shall 1 tbank you for sav â€" for rendering me such time- ly assistance 7 'For saving my Ufe,* she had been Roing to say, but that would have been coming it a little tod strouf;.

He was very handsome perfectly, faultlessly handsome, with an olive complexiQU, alow forehead, a chissel- led nose, a thick black moustache, and two dark almond eyes of 'liquid light.' Not tall, not stout, not very manly looking, perhaps, m any way â€" men were rather given to sneer at Mr. Gaston Dantree's somewhat effemin- ate beauty. But they never sneered lontr. There was that in Mr. Dan- tree's btack eyes, in Mr. Dantree's musical voice, in Mr. Dantree's train- ed muscles, that would have rendered a serious difficulty a little unpleasant. He took off his hat now, despite the pouring rain, and stood before the heir ess of Scarswood, looking hke the Apollo hjmself in a shabby shooting jacket. 'You do me too much honour, Miss Dangerfield I don't really thiuk jour life was in any danger â€" still it's plea- sant to know 1 was the one to stop your black steed all the satne. Bath- er a coincidence, by the bye, that I ahoald meet you here just at present, as, taking advantage of last night's kind invitation, I was about to present myself at Scarswood,' 'And Soarswood is very well worth seeing, 1 assure you.

Adieu, my baronet, for the present atid allow me to subscribe myself by the old and alas plebian name of "Harbtkt Haman. P.S.. â€" Tell my pet, Katherine, I am coming. Kiss the darling child for me." He had ^at there for hours as he sat now, that letter crushed iu his hand, a grayish pallor on his fce, his eyes looking blankly otit at the drifting rain, at the tosbiug, wiud-blown trees. The hghtning leaped forth at intervals, the summer thunder broke over the roof, the summer rain beat on the glass. He neither saw nor heard he sat like a man stunned by a great and sudden blow. 'And I thought her dead,' he mur- mured once. 'I hoped she Was dead. I thought, after fifteen years' silence, I was safe; and now. â€" oh, God I will the wicked wish never be granted ' He sat there still as ho bad sat since he left the breakfast table, when tha door was flung wide, and Katherine, dripping like a mermaid, stood before him. May I come in, papa, or have you fallen asleep Do you know it is two o'clock, and past luncheon time^ and that I have brought home a guest It's Mr, Dantree, papa â€" you remem- ber him, yoti know â€" and he wants to see the house, and I want you to be civil to hhn. He's in the bltie d?»w- iog-room and while I'm changing my habit twiefa you would go up' and en- tertain him. Papal' She broke off suddenly, catching sight of his altered face. 'What is the matter Yon look like your own ghost I^ He roie up stiffly, as' if his limbs ere cramped, crushing the letter moro tightly still in his band. He turned away from the window, so that his face was hidden from her, as he answered 'I am a little cold. Who did you say was waiting, Katherine Oh, jes; the singing man â€" Gaston Dan- .tree. By the bye; Kathie, tell Harri- son to prepare one of the front cham- bers for a â€" a lady â€" an old friend of mine â€" who is coming to visit us. She will be here on the evening of the third of Octoker next, and Mr aaiBBie is Mrs. Vavasor.' CHAPTER U. UBS. TAVA80B. The London express, due at Castle- ford station at 7:20, rushed in with an unearthly shriek, hke Sinbad's black monster, with the one fed/ fiery eye. There were five passengers for the town â€" four men and a woman. The train disgorged them and then fled away, shrieking once more, into the black Oct, night. A wet and gusty autumn evening, a black and starless sky frownm^ down upon a blaok and sodden 6arth, A bitter blast blew up from the sea, and whirled the dead leaves iti drifte before it. The station dreary and is- olated,a8 it is in tito nature of stations to be, looking drearier than ever to- night. Far off the lamps of the town glimmered athwart the rain and fog. specks of Ut^ht in the eerie gloom. The four male passengers who LacI quitted the train httrried with their portmanteaus, buttoned tu the chin, and with hats slouched forward over their noses â€" honest shopkeepers of Castleford, but looking villianously brigandish m the liffht of the station lamps. Only the female passenger remaiced, and she came tripping up the platform with a little satchel in her hand, crisp and smiling, to the chief station offiml. 'I beg your pardon, air bat can yoa teU me if (^ oaniagefinHn Soara- wood ia waiting fm- me ' She was a beautiful Uttla wooaa. Two great dark eyes of lustrous lihgt beamed tp in the official's face, and a amile that lit ap the whole station with ita radiance daistad him.

The official held the door open-^^o thanked him witfa a radiant smile, aod then Sir John Dangerfield's carriage was flying tlvbngb the darkness of the wet October night ovSr the muddy high road to Scarswood Park, Littj'ti Mrs. Vavasor wiped the blurred glass, and strained her bright black eyeif as the Vehicle whirled up the avenue, to catch the first glimpse of the house. It loomed up at last, a big black shad- ow in the darkness. Light gleamed all along its front Endows, and the distant Hound of music ffoateid out iiito thti night. Mrs. Vavasor's fascinating face was at its brightest â€" the sparkle in her eyes sparkled more than ever. 'A party â€" a ball perhaps. Let me see, the third of October â€" why la jte- tile's birthday, of course. Miss Dang- erfield, heiress of Scarswood, is just seventeen to-night. How stupid of me to forget it.' She laughed iu the darkness and solitude, a little low laugh not pleasant to hear. 'I wond- er how poor Sir John will tneet me, and what account he will give me oif his daughter It couldn't haye been plea'^aut for him to recieve my note. I dare say by this time ha thought me dead,' She stepped out a moment in the rain, then into the lighted' vestibule, then into the spacious enteranco hall where Mrs. Harrison, in a gray silk gown and white lace cap, and all the dignity of housekeeper, met her cour- tesy. 'Mrs, Vavasor, I think, ma'am?' Mrs. Vavasor's enchanting smile answered in the affirmative. 'Sir John's orders are very attention, ma'am,and he was to be told the min- ute you arrived. This way, if you please, and you're to wait here.ma'am until he comes to you.' She led the way upstairs, and threw cpen the door of a half- lit, ele- gant apartment, all bright with up- holstery, curtains, and carpet of blue and gold. 'How very nice,' Mrs. Vavasor re- marked, glancing pleasantly around 'and you are the housekeeper, I sup- pose, my good soul And ycur young lady is having a party on her bu-th- night? How pleasant it must be to be only seventeen/ and handsome and rich, and a bRronet's dfrughter.' Mrs, Vavasor laughed that sharp 'little laugh of hers that rather grated 3Q sensitive ears. 'Mrs. Dangerfield is handsome, no doubt, Mrs. ah â€" ' 'Harrison, ma'am,' the housekeeper responded, rather stiffly. 'And Miss Katherine is very' andsome, indeed, in my eyes. I'll tell sir John you're here, ma'am, at once, if you'll please sit down.' But it pleased Mrs. Vavasor to stand â€" she *:urned up the lamps until tho room was flooded with Ught, then walked over to a full length mirror and looked at herself steadily and long, 'Fading I ' she said; 'fading Bouge. French coiffures, enamel, bellanadon- na, and the rest of it are very well but they can't maka cv^n a womaa of â- thirty-seven into a girl of twenty. Still considering the life I've led' â€" ahe set hert€»thUkea little hon-dog. 'Ah, what a bitter fight the battle of life has been for me If I were wise I would pocket my wrongs, forego my vengeance, and live happy in Scars- wood Hall for ever after. I wonder if Su- John would marry me if I asked him?" The door opened and Sir John came in. Little Mrs. Vavasor turned round from the glass, folded her small hands and stood and looked at him with a' smile on her face. He was very pale, and grim as the grave. So for a moment they stood, like two dueUsts waiting far the word in dead silence. Then the lady spoke 'How do you do, Sir. John When we parted I remsmber you fotmd me admiring myself in the glass when we meet again, after fifteen years â€" Diea 1 how old it makes one feet â€" you find me before tbe glass again. Not admiring myself this time, you under- stand. I sadly feat I have grown old and ugly in all those iuurd-fought years.

He drew away with a gesture of re- pulsion, and croeaiog to the chimney- piece leannd upon it, his face hard and set, in the light of Uie lamps. 'Why have you oome bare.7' he aak- wnnt 5*^ ly leom.
