 m GOLDEN BONDS. CHAPTER XIII. "MiM Christie 1" It was Mr. KayEer calline softly throngh Ihe door. I did not anawer or move. "Miss Christie, my dear child, are Tou there? Are you conscioua? Are you 11?" And I heard the handle of the door turn but it was locked. I raised my head from the ground, and siidj in a weak quavering Yoice â€" "I am net ill, thank you, and I am quite conscious." "But your voice is weak^ Are you hurt Did that woman hurt you '" he asked anxi- ously. "No, no I am only frightened I am not hurt. I will tell you all about it to- morrow, Mr. P^yner. I can't talk now." "But I cannot go away and sleep, my child, till I sm quite satisfied that you are all right. Pat on your dressing-gown, and come out and let me see you and be â- ore." But I felt that I could not leave my room again that night. "I am really quite well, only I cannot come out to-nij;ht, Mr. Rayner. I am too much shaken with the fright I am in- deed." "I will fetch you some brandy and-water, and pui it here for you, outside the door, then." "No, please don't I should not dare to take it in. I feel that, if I opened the door, she might get in. If I saw her again to- night, it would kill me " I sobbed, "Oh, please keep her away " I was getting hysterical again. "She shall net come near you, child I swear it You are quite safe. I will lock the door at the bottom of these stairs, and ccme and let you out myself in the morning," he said, in a low voice. The thought of being locked in did not reassure me much but I thanked him and wished him ^ood eight, with a last piteous appeal to him to keep Sarah away. Then I rose from the floor, stumbled to the table, struck a match and lighted my candle, and put it by my bedside. For the first time I was afraid of the dark. And I lay awake listening, and starting at the tiny cracks the wood made, until at last, worn out, I fell asleep. The next; morning I heard Mr. Rayner uclock the door at the foot of the staircase when I had just opened mine, ready to go down. Hs waited for me, looking up anxi- oasly, and seemed shocked at my appear- ance. I bad noticed myself, as I was Oress- icg, how white and haggard I looked, and how dull and heavy my eyes were, with black rings around them. "You ought not to have got up at all. You should have stayed in bed and had your breakfast brought up to you." I fchuddered I had had enough of bed- side visits for a long time, and the thought of bein^ a semi-invalid waited on by Sarah was too much for my self-command. 'Take my arm, child; ycu csn scarcely walk. Come to breakfast a cup of hot cof- fee will do you good. AuJ, after that, you .shall ccme into the study, and we will talk. Don't say anything about it at breakfast it might frighten my wife." 1 took his arm, for 1 really was not quite steady on my feet and be led me into the (•ining rccm, and put me into an aim chair instead of the one I usually occupied at .prayera. Tlxn Haidec, who had seen at once that there was a change in me, and giren Tre a double ki-iS as cocsolation, rsng the bfcll to summon the servants to prayera. I held the arms tf my chair, ani keps my eyes en tiie ground, and rry lips tiehtly ricked that 1 might give no sign when I saw Sarah's face again but, when they came in, I knew without looking up that sne was not there. And Jane waited at tvble. Had Sarah gone already My heart leaped at the thought. At brtak'ast Mr. K^ner said "i am goire to propose a holiday for to- day. Bjth mistress and pupil are looking \ery siedy, and I think a day'.s rest ficm lessons will do both good. My motives are not wholly unselfish, I amsony to say, for I have tie penny-bank accounts to do, and I want you to help Ke with them. Miss Cnristie, if you will be so kind as to spire me a couple of hours. I won't keep you longer." 1 assented rather nervously. I should have a scene t) go through with Mr. Ray- n; r, ^nd an anrouncement to make which â- would tntail a lot of argument and tome -i tsup.tion and resistance, which I scarcely lelt equal to, shaktn as 1 was. "Ai. what time will you want me, Mr. R lyner ' '•H"w soon after breakfast caa you coire?" "May I have an hour first to fin;sh some work 1 have to do It doesn't matter, if you would rather " "In ?u hour's time I shall expect you in the htudy, then.' After breakfast, I went up stain, where I found .Tme doing my rooni. I caught her looking at me shyly, as if I had gone up in interest in her ey ts. Siie must have heard something of the night's adventure â€" I want- eitoknow what. S'.ie prepared to leave the room when I entered. "Never mind, Jane don't go, You have nearly finished, 1 see. So you are doing the rooms this morning " "Yes, miss I've ^ot to get into the way of it, miss." Sne gave a gisp, as if to continue, but stopnpd. "Well " Eaid I, smiling, to encourage her to talk. "You know Sarah's going away, miss." "Is she?" said I, unable to keep my face from brightening up at the welcome words. "Yes, miss. Oh, there has bsea arum- pus, and no mistake You just should have heard her go en I Bat she's going, and I'm not sorry for one." • What is she going away for " asked I. "Don't you know, miss?" She spoke shyly, but was evidently pre- pared to disbelieve me if I said ' No." "I can guess bat what reason did she give you " "Oh, it's along of you, mias She burst into cook and me thu morning, and laid aa she wasn't going to stay in a house where there was such goinga on. That waa what she said, miaa." And she paused, her ahy- ness again getting the better of her uoety to pour out all she had beard. "Go on, go on. You know laaked you to tell me," said I gently. ^. ' Wtll. mlas, the said all kind o' thinga about yon but we didn't ti*e much notice o' them, cook and n» we're uaed to old Sally. But then ahe saidâ€" «he taid "Yesâ€" well?" "She said aa how she went up to your room, hearing a noiee, and then, aa how " "Go on." "Then as howâ€" Mr. Rayner came up and â€" wasn't best pleased to find her there " "Yesâ€" well 1' But Jane would not go on, but got very red, and fidgeted about with the cloth she waa holding, And suddenly, as I watched the girl in wonder, the whole awtul truth flashed upon me of the complexion Sarah had given to the story. I did not speak for a minuteâ€" I only felt a strange little flut- tering pain that seemed to be round my heartâ€" and then I said very fuietlyâ€" "I suppose she didn't tell you that she tried to steal something I wear round my neck that, when she found she couldn t, she threw a handkerchief steeped in some drug over my face to make me unconEcious, that she might get at it more easily that it waa my screams that brought Mr. Rayner up-stairs, and that he stood outside and called her till she came to him. ^^Here, I'll show you the very handkerchief." I had tucked it down in the comer of one of the drawers. It still smelt faintly of the stuff it had been soaked in. Little Jane's face brightened with wonder and downright honest pleasure. ' ^^ "I'm that glad, miss, I could dance, said she. "She said Mr. Riyner let her faU downstairs in the dark, and went on up without taking no notice â€" and she really is a good deal bruized, and serve her right. But there never is no believing Sarah. And for her to talk about goings on Oh, my, we did laugh, cook and me 1" And Jane chattered on about Sarah and her many un- pleasant attributes till she had finished her work, and left the room with a bright grin of friendship, S3 Sarah, after doing me another wrong worse than all the rest in circulating lies to injure my reputation, was going. But she would probably not go at once, and I felt that I could not sleep another night in the same house with her. So I turned out all my things and packed my boxes, as I had determined to do while I lay awake during the past night. I looked into my desk, and found that my note had been replaced 1 I would announce to Mr. Rayner my deter- mination to go when I went to the study, and ask permission to leave that very after- noon. 1 was sorry to leave the Alders, Mr. Rayner, and sweet little Haidee and there was another reason which made the thought of leaving Geldham harder still to bear. But the terrors of the night I had passed through had had an effect upon me strong enough to outweigh every other con- sideration even now, by daylight, I could scarcely look around my own familiar little room without a feeling of loathing of the scene of mv horrible adventure. There was another reason of my hasty flight. Sarah was a very valuable servant, as she had insisted, and as Mr. Rayner him- self had admitted. Now I was the only obstatle to her remaining, and it was really better that the one of us who oould beat be replaced should go and my well-found- ed fears that she might, after all, be re- tained in any case helped to strengthen my resolution to go. I had had no salary yet, as I had not been two months at the Alders, but my uncle had given me a sovereign to be put by, in case of emergency, and now the emergency was ccme. Sol packed my boxes, and then went down-stairs rather nervously to the study, having in my pcc- "set the drugged handkerchief as a proof that my adventure was no fanny, as I guessed that Mr. Riyner would try to mike me believe. Mr. Riyner said "come in " when I knocked, got up, placed me in an arm-chair by the fire, and asked me to wait while he spoke to Sam. He left the room, and I cautiously made friends with his big dog, who shared the hearthrug with me. He was very gracious, and I had progressed bo fjr as to slide down from my seat to carets him better, when I looked up and saw Sarah. 1 sprang to my feet, with a scream that 1 could not repress, and darted to the bell "Dm't!" said she sharply. "At least, wait one moment â€" give me a hearing. I'll stay here â€" so, Mr. Rayner'll be here in a minute he won't leave you for long." said she, in a disagreeable voice. "I rau't hurt you. I didn't mean to hurt you last night; and I didn't want to steal your letter. What should I want to steal a bit of paper for You see 1 know what it is. I only wanted to read it. I'm of a curious dis- positiork, and I don't stick at much to find out what I want to know â€" if it's only tiifles. The stuff on that hano kerchief wouldn't have hurt you, only made you sleep a little sounder, so as I could take the letter. I'd have put it back. I'm sorry I frightened you. I've come to ask you to forgive me." Stie said it in a dry hard tone not as if she really repented her cruel action a bit. "No, no I can't forgive you â€" at least, not yet," I said incoherently. "It wasn't only wanting to steal my letter and to stupefy mf, but the way you looked at me, the cruel wayâ€" aa if â€" as if you would have bked to kill me," I said, growing more ex- cited as 1 remembered the terrible glare of her eyes when she sprang at me the second time. ' 'I can't forget it â€" oh, I can't forget it 1 And you did something worde than that you told the cook and Jane t'aat Mr. Riyner was coming up to my room 1 Oh, that was wicked of you, for you know it wasn't true." "That's that little tattling Jane, I know!" said Sarah vixeniahly. "I never said such a thing at all but she likes to make a story up of everythiBg she hears. Yoa know what a chatterbox she is, miss." I did know t but I did not think Jane was likely to have altered Sarah's story much. I was silent for a minute. Sarah began again in a different tone. "You're very hard upon a poor servant, Miaa Cluiatie^ and it ian't generoua of you. 1 don't deny that I waa jealous of you, and that I wanted to prove to Mr. Rayner that you had lettera on the aly from a young gentieman. There now -Fto m«ao »cl^ br«*t of it I But don't it ««« hjrd that I. who've served him and his w»U for nigh given years, sbonld hawe to go J«rt »t the word of a young ladj who ham' boMi here two months?" •'It ian't at my word, S»t»h I hive no- thing to do with it." "Nothing to do with it T Can yon deny that you dialike me " "I ahould never have disliked you if you had not over and over again ahown that you hated me, and that it waa diataatef nl to you even to have to serve me. And, aa to your going away, I heard about it only thia mom- ng through aaking Jsne why she was doing my room." ,, I blushed as I said thia but I could not confeaa to Sarah that the first mention I had heard of her departure was when I waa listenuig outside the door of this very room on the night before. "Then you don't want me to go away ' • It doesn't matter to me whether you go or stay, as I have packed my boxes, and am going back to London myself thia very aftemcoa." Sarah stared. Then she £ave a disagree- abld laugh. "You won't go," said she. "You can go- up stairs and look at my boxes," I said indignantly, '•Have you spoken to Mr, Rayner about it yet, may I ask, miss " said she drily. ' 'Not yet but I am going to tell him this morning." "Then would you mind, before you so, miss" â€" she laid a peculiar emphasis on these words â€" "asking Mr. Rayner to let me stay? It won't matter to you, you see but its more to me than I can tell." And, for the first time during the inter- view, there was a real emotion in her voice. "But what I might say wouldn't make any difference, Sarah,"' I remonstrate 1 gent- ly. "You overrate my importance in this household in the strangest way. My words haven't half the weight on Mr. Rayner that yours have." Sarah looked at me eagerly as I said this, but she did not seem satis- fied. "That is quite right anl natural, as you have been here so long and are so much older too." She did not like my saying that, I saw, by the tightening of her thin lips but I certairly had not meant to offend her. However, after a minute's pause, she said again â€" "Then, as you won't be afraid of your words having any effect, miss, perhaps you will the Us3 mind asking Mr. F,ayner to let me stay." I shrugged iny shoulders at her strange persistency my words would certainly make no difference, and, as I was going away, she would probably stay so i said "Very well I will ask him." "Yotl promise, miss " said, she with a strange light in her eyes. "Gentlefolks like you don't break their word, I know," she went on quickly. "So. if you only say '1 promise" i shall know I can trust you, and th»,t you bear no malice." She must indeed be snxioua to obtain what she asked when she could stoop so far as to class me with "gentlefolk." "I promise," said I. Siie might have shown a little gratitude for what she had been so eager to get, I thought but, as soon as the words had left my lips, she drew herself np from he im- ploring attitude triumphantly, and, with a simple, cold "Thank you, miss," left the room. Then I felt as if the study had suddenly grown lighter. Before long Mr. Rayner re- turned. I said nothing about Sarah's visit, and nothing about my own departure, until I had done the very little there was to do in settling the accounts of the peony- bank. This work had only been an excuse for giving me a holiday, because I looked ill, I felt sure and, when it was finished Mr. Rayner sent me back to the arm-chair again and poured me out a glass of wine. I began to feel nervous about my announce- ment. "Have you quite got over your cruel fright now, little woman?" said he kindly. "As much as one can get over a thing like that," I said, in a low voice, my fingers shaking. ' Oae can't forget it at once, of course but I hope that a little care and a little kindness will soon drive that unpleasant ad- venture right out of your head." "If you mean your care and kindness," said I, looking up gratefully, "why, you can't give me more than you have given me already, Mr. Riyner, Bat there are some experiences which one can never forget ex- cept away from the scenes where they hap- pened. And, oh, Mr. Rayner," I went on quickly, "yon mustn't, think me ungrate- ful or capricious but I have packed my boxes, and I want to ask you to release me from my engagement and let me go back to London by this afternoon's train For, if I had to sleep in that room another night, I should go mad I" He came and sa*; by my side. â-  My dear child," he said gravely, "you can't do that â€" for our sakes," "But I must â€" I must indeed 1" I cried pite.iusly. "You don't know, you can't tell what I sijffered when I felt her arm creeping up to my throat, and thought I was going to be killed â€" I did indeed And then 1 thorght the stuff on the handkerchief was poison. She says it is only something to make you sleep. Ii it true, Mr. 'Rayuer Hera is the handkerchief." And I puUel it Iron my pocket and gave it to him. • Qiite true," aaid he: but I saw him frown, "it is chloroform, which she got out of my medicine-chest I missed the bottle this morning. No, that wouldn't have hurt you child I don't suppose for a moment she meant to hurt you. Bat it was a cruel trick, all the same. Do vou know" â€" and he looked at me aearchingly â€" "what she did it for " ' Oh, yes, she told me I She wanted to get a letter â€" from a â€" a friend, which I wore roacd my neck." I felt myself blush- ing violently, knowing from what I had overheard Sarah say to him on the previous night that he knew all about that foolish peudant. "She wanted to read it, and she couldn't get it without stupefying me, bs- cause I was holding it. Bat I have forgiven her, and promised I would aak you to let her atay. I told her it wouldn't matter what I aaid but ahe made me promiae." "And what made you thiak whit you aaid wouldn't matter?" aaked he gently. "TlMke ia no reason why it should," aaid I. "Bat I couldn't hpvB promised to ask yon to let her stay if I Bad not beep going •w»TmyaeU. Mr. S^yaar, yoa mutt let me vO. "I will let yoa go if yoa wish it, thoagb he Alders woald seem man like a tomb than ever without yoa,GohiId, now, that we have got used to seeing yoar pretty Uttle faoe and hearing your sweet Iict^e voice about the place," said he sadly, almost tenderly and the tears came to my eyes. "But you cannot go to-day. Think what people would say of us if it got rumoured about that our child's governess was so cruelly treated under our roof that she went away without T day's warning for every one counta upon you at the achool-treat, and I believe that our young friend Laurence â€" don't bluah, child â€" would go off hla head, and accuse us of murdering yon outright, if he were to hear you were gone. And you trould find it difficult, believe me, child, to get another aituation, if you left your first so quickly, no matter for what reason. No you shall have a different room, or Jane shall sleep in your room for a week or ao, until your very natural nervousness has gone off and then, if, at the end of the three months, you still wish to go, why, we won't keep you, child, though I think some of us will never get over it if you lea ve us too suddenly." He spoke ao sweetly, so kindly, and yet with such authority of superior .wisdom, that I had to give way. Then, bound by my promise, I had even to ask again that Sarah should stay, and he agreed that she should at once and then I, not at all elated at the success of my intercession, begged him to let Jane do as much as possible for me j ust at first. But later in the day it was not pleasant to see Sarah's acid smile as she said, when she heard I was going to stay â€" "I told you, miss." And when I said to her, "I kept my promise, and asked Mr. Riyner for you to stay, Sarah," she answered, "Then I am to stay, of course, miss " in the same tone. And I was reluctantly obliged to admit that she waa. And, as I looked at her face, which could never seem to me again to look anything but evil, a sudden horror seized me at the thought that I had pledged myself to stay for five whole weeks more m the same house with this woman. CHAPTER XIV. I took advantage of the rest of my day's holiday to work very hard at the text I was doing for the church. I thought that Mr. Reade might call for it that day, but he did not. And the next day, which was Thurs- day, I finished it. and rolled it up in paper ready for sending away but still he did not come to fetch it. Haidee and I did not go out far that morning â€" a long walk tired her now but in the afternoon, when lessons were over, I sauntered out into the garden, with a book in my hand, and went to my "neat," which I had neglected to visit on the day before â€" a most unusual occurrence but Mr. Rayn;r had forbidden me to go out- side the house on that day, as I was rather feverish from the effects of the preceding night's excitement. I found Mona sitting among the reeds close to the pond, not far from my "nest," crooning to herself and playing with some sticks and bits of paper. At sight of me she slid along the bank and let herself down into the mud below, as if to hide from me. When the child suddenly disappeared from my sight like that, I felt frightened lest she sheuld fall into the water, or sink into the sofc slime at the edge which she had chosen to retire into, and not be able to climb the slippery bank again. So I walked daintily through the reedy swamp which was her favorite haunt, acd looked over the bank. She was busily burying in the mud, with the help of two little sticks the bits of paper she had been playing with and, when £ beat down to speak to her, she threw herself upon her back, with her head almost in the water, and began to scream and kick. This uncalled-for demonstration made me think toat she knew she was in mischief and, leaving her for a moment tu enjoy herself in her own way, I stooped and picked up cue or two of the pieces of paper which formed her toys. There was writing on them in a hand I knew, and I had n t made out a dcz^n words before I was sure that Mona had somehow got hold of a no e from Mr. Laurinoe Reade to me. Down I junnped in a moment, caring no more for the mud, into which I sank to my ankles, than M .na herself. I dug up tne bits she hid buried, and took from her very gently those she was still clutching, though my fiogers tingl'^d to slap her. I hops it was not revenge that made me carry her indoors to be washed. Then I searched the grovnl where I had found her, and discover- ed more little bits, and uiiier the seat of my "nest " a corn envelope addressed to "Miss Ciristie." Iran in, and up to my rcom, with my mangled treasare, carefully cleaned the fragments, and, after much labor, at last fitted them into a pretty co- herent whole. The note ran, as well as I could make out â€" "Daar Miss Christie, â€" I am so anxious about you that I mu^t write. Is it true that" â€" here there was a piece missing â€" "an aecident, that yon are ill, hurt If you are safe e n 1 well, you will pass the park to- morrow, that I may see you and know that you " â€" another piece missing. "I ahall put this on the seat near the pond, where I knaw you go every evening. Yours very sincerely, "Laurlnce Reade." It was dated "Wednesday," and this was Thursday afternoon ao that it was this mom-ng'a walk thpt he had meant. Oh if I had only come out here last night and found the letter 1 I would go past the park to-morrow but perhaps it would be too late and he would not expect me then â€" he would think I was too ill to come out.
