 ITi mi3m BONDS. CHAPTER XIV.â€" (Continued.) So the next morning, in our walk, I took care to pats Geldham Hall, both going and returnins: but the first time I saw no one in the park, and the second time, to my sur- prise, I saw Mr. Rayner and Mrs. Reade sauntering along together under the trees in a very friendly manner. I had noticed thai it had gradually become quite natural for the haughty Mrs. Reade to turn to Mr. Ray- ner as soon as we all came ont of church on Sunday, and for them t(f have a long chat to- gether, while her daughters looked at the people from the Alders as superciliously as before but I did not know that he visited at Geldham Hall, still less that he and Mis. Reade were on terms of such intimacy that she leaned on his arm as they walked along, and laughed as he talked in a much more natural and unaffected nanner than her d'g- nity generally allowed. The next evening I had to go to tea at Mrs. Manners' to take part in a final dis- cussion of the arrangements for the school- treat on the following day. Mrs. Manners, WLO was a very simple kindly lady, greeted me with rather a pertuibed manner, and in- troduced me half apologetically to the Misses Reade, the elder of whom was stiffer and the younger more awkward than ever as they just touched my hand and dropped it as if it had been something with claws. They were icily obliged to me for the text, and said they would not have troubled me on any account, but their brother had insisted on taking it. Then they talked about vil- lage matters to Mrs. Manners, ignoring me alt^geiher, until two little middle aged iaiiies came in, who had dressed in an anti- quated fashion a number of dolls for the sale, and who, on hearing who I was, seemed rather afraid of me. The Misses Reade were very kind to them in a patronizing way and a shy girl came in, who was better dressed, more accomplished, and who had no worse manners than the Misses Reade, but they evidently looked down upon her from a very great height. I afterwards found that she was the daughter of an at- torney, ard could not expect to be so for- tunate as to meet the ladies from the Hall, except at the Vicar's, which was neutral ground. 1 did not think it was at ail a pleasant party. Thsy all chattered about parish matters, district-matters, acd the Sunday- school, and the life the curate's wife led her husband â€" of which I knew nothing at all and 1 went to a table at the window, where there were two large albums of phntogaaphs and looked at them by myself. But, when Mr Manners came in, there was a little stir amotg them, and they all smiled at him and lett off their chatter, and seemed to look to him to suggest a new topic and he said the weaiher locked promising tor next day, and they all fl-w upon this new topic and wor- ried it to death. Then, when he had said a few words to each of them, he cati e up to me and sskod me kindly why I was sitting all alone in a corctr, and sat down by me, and to!d mo who the people in the aJbum'j were, ond showed me some pictures of Swiss secre-y. ard talked about the places thty represented. I almost wished he would not, for the other ladies did not seem pleased. Then we iiad tea, and Mr. Maacers made M.- sit by him. lie went out as scon as it was over, and we ell â- Â« cnt back into the drawing-room tnd wrote numbers en tickets; I fcrget what they were for, but 1 remem- ber that there was great confusion because several of the ladies nra'e mistakes, so that, v.hiie some numbers were missed out alto- gether, there were a great mcny tickets oeiiriiig the s:.i lie r. umber. Mrs. Manners asked ir.e if 1 should like to come up-stairs aua the see tnines for sale, all the rest uf the ladies havirg seen them many times alieady. Sj we went up together, and, while vre w;re Icoking ai them, she saiel ;!•- "ouily â€" â- â-  ')U ha\e Ecvei b?€n in a situa'.icn be- :o.\=. h'.vft you '" " Xo. a: vtr bifcre." â- ' A governe'ib' positioi has many trials uiid d iiii.ultit.s." " 1 hu.vf n't n-.et with many yet. I have ntin lortunate," said i, smiung. Mrs. Micners looked at me as if she Wc-nte I to ;i k me more tl an she dared but sic only said â€" â- 'Of course seme families are pleasanter tj live with than other?, ,, "Bat in all there arise occasions when we must pray for gui- dance " â€" and I thought of my resolution to cc â€" "and when we must walk circumspect- ly" â€" and I thought of the best way ot treat- ing Swrah. I only answered â€" " Yes, Mrs. Mannners" â€" very gently. ShesefUied plessed by my submission, and sail! suddenly, as if to herself, after looking a: lue for a few moments â€" "An honest optn face " â€" whijh made me Mush â€" then, in a (laicker, more practical icue â€" "\ou have no father, and have al- waj s lived quietly with your mother?

Sj I sai.l â€" "in any d tiljulty I should have to think and act for mjself, Mrs. Manners, because V,-) iticg to mamma about it would only make ner cty. But I have met with no great dif- rl.uU;es in my !i!e so lar." S^-he lookeel at me Egain.as if a lit'.le puzâ-  ed, and then said â€" " 1 iiope you will not think I am catech- ising \cu rudely but Mr. Manners and I lake a greit interest in you, knowing how yt.ung and inexperienced you are to ha\ e to go out luio the world alone. And bethinks 1 havo ne:;Iected jou a little. B Jt, you see, Mrs. Kiyneris so very â€" reserved, and lives suo'i a secluded life, that it is not easy to f 6) m an intimacy. But I want you to feel sure, my dear Sliss Christie, that, if you shoulJ want a friend's advice at any time, you need not fear to confide in me and Mr. Manners, being a man and your pariah cler- gyman, could help you in cases where my woman's judgment might be at fault," I thanked her with tears in my eyes for, although there was a shade of reserve in her manner, and altboagh I did not think it likely that I should ever experience at the Alders any trial that the could help me in â€" fcr I could not confide a family secret, like Mrs. Rayner's suspected insanity, to any- bodyâ€"yet her manner was so sincere and so earnest that I was touched by it and grate- ful for it. « • u J Then we went down- stairs and finished up the evening with music. The two little middle-aged ladies sang, in thin cracked voices, some duets in Italianâ€" passionate love- son jfs, the words of which they did not seem to understand. The elder Miss Reade played a movement of Mczirt's "Fantasia m C minor"â€" but I did not recognize it nn- til near the end- and the younger a 'Gahp de Salon," with the loud pedal down all the time. Miss Line, the attorney's daughter, sang "Little Maid ot Arcidee," which Mrs. Manners said she should have liked if the words had not been so silly. Then I was asked to play, and I chose Schumann's "Ar- abesque," and they teemed astonished and a little scandalized because I played it by heart, I heard Mias Reade whisper â€" "I don't like her style. The great diflVrence between forte and piarao seems to me an affectation. " While I was playing, Mr, Laurance Reade came in to take his sisters home. When I had finished, everybody looked at us as he shook hands wi^h me in a rather aistant manner but he managed to press my hand be fore he let it go so I did not mind. And everybody listened as he said â€" "We heard up at the Hall dreadful re- ports that you were ill. Miss Christie, and wouldn't be able to come to the school- treat," "Oh, no, I wasn't ill 1 One of the ser- vants gave me a fright in the night," said 1. "I woke up and found her in my room ran- sacking my things. Then I screamed with all my might, and Mr. Rayner came up and called her out and scolded her." This explanation was listened to with profound attention by everybody in the room and I was glad I had an opportunity of iiving it, as I telt sure that some rumors must have got about and it was better they snould hear my version of the story, Then Mrs. Manners said she hoped Mr, Reade would not devert them at the last and he promised to come and help, but said she must not expect him to sell pen-wipers, " You are going to have a much grander affair than usual, I hear," he ended â€" ' more like a r^^gular baziar." " It sounds ungracious to say so," she re- turned, rather anxiously, "but I am rather sorry that we have i ot kept to the old sim- ple custom. Still, when Lady Mills offered a marquee, and to come herself and help to sell, and to bring her friends, we were obliged to make a differance. And then the band from Beaconsbfirgh " she stopped, for it was old Mr, Reaele who had offered to provide that, "Ah, that's my father's fault!" the young man put in, laughing. "He's a wick- t d old fellow, wanting to corrupt the rustic simplicity of the parish in his old age." His elder sister said "Laurence" reprov- ingly, Mrs, Manneis went on. •'And, if Lidy Mills coires on the drag, she'll bring a lot of idle voung men"â€" Miss Lane and the younger Miss Reade looked up â€" "and there will be nothing to amuse them, for we have only one set of lawn ten- nis â€" I think we must charge a penny a game for that" â€" in a practical tone â€" "end they will expect champagne and " "Oh, Lidy Mills •will bring that 1" said Mr. Ileade ccntidently, as if he had been on t'lat drag with those idle young men him- self. " liat Lady M lis and her set are not the style that Gildham is accustomed to," said Mr-J. Manners, in a superior tone, "Oh, no " assented Mr, Reade gravely, "And they will make lun ot everything and the treat is after all for the village-peo- ple and I don't wanil those fast gentlemen irom London to get talking to the village- girls " "I don't think tliey will want to dp so, Mrs, Manners, 1 don't indeed," said Mr, Reade. " They are all good girls, those who will help at the treat â€" the first oliss at the Sun- day School," " O 1, those Then I am sure you need not be afraid." "Arid they will want to amuse them- selves, and take up the time of the sellers, your sisters and M iss Christie and " " I'll keep them off, Mrs. Manners. The sellers shall not be teased by any imperti- nent and trifling young men. I'll devote my- self to locking after them," Simple Mrs. Manners, who had been in deep earnest all the time, began to have a suspicion that there was a lurking mirthful- nesa under Mr, Reade's gravity so she said severely â€" • " Y"ou will have to work, not'\o play, if you come, Mr, Reade, and set a good ex- ample to the others." '•I will; but I sincerely hope they will not all follow it," said he, in a laughing tone then he turned and looked at me and made me blush. And in the plight bustle of departure he whianered to me â€" "Wait, aud I'll come back and take you home." But, when I had put on my hat and man- tle, and Mrs. Manners had led me down in- to the drawing room again, to say a few list words to me, and I was wondering how I could wait until Mr. Reade kept his prom- ise and returned, I heard a ring and Mr. Rayner's voice in the fca'l. 1 started and blushed, and Mrs. Manners stopped in her talk and looked at me very searchingly, "Mr. Riy ner must have come to fetch you home," she said coldly. 1 would not have missed the walk home with M;. Reade for the world, " I am afraid so," I stammered. She looked colder still at my confusion but there was only one way out of it, so 1 burst out â€" "Ob, Mrs. Minaers, Mr, Reade said he would come to fetch me What shall I do " " Y'ou would rather go with him " " Oh, yes, yes " Her manner changed all at once. She put her arm around me and drew me to the French window. ' ' There, my dear â€" run ont there and wait at the gate on the left. That's the way they always come from the Hall. It is a little deception, I am afraid but there â€" ^o, child, go He is a ?ood lad." So I ran swiftly across the lawn in the dusk, afraid of Mr. Riyner's seeing me, and up the path between the laurel- hedges which led to the side gate. The path curved just at the end, and 1 hear J the gate swing to but I could not stop myself. And, as Mr. Reade dashed around the comer, run- ning too, I fell against him, and then panted out: "I bej? your paadon," very much con- fused. He had caught me by the arms, and he did not let me go, but held them very eently, while he saidâ€" " Miss Christie 1 Pray^ don't apologise. Where were yet running " " Iâ€" I was going home," I stammered in a low voice. „ "Bat that is not the way," A pause â€" then very softlyâ€" "Were you coming to meet me?" "No," said I half crying, and disengag- infi myself, It was so humiliating to have been caught running to meet Mr. Reade. " No I had hoped you were. For I bare been running like a race-horse to meet you." I said nothing. " Why did you want to run home so fast alone, when I promised tc come and fetch you?" " Iâ€" I didn't want to trouble you." '•That was very kind of you. But, if I hap- pen not to mind the trouble, may I see you home now I am here Or would you pre- fer to go alone ' "I would rather go alone, thank you," said I, though it was heart-breaking to have to say it. But I thought it was time to show some spirit, for I saw that Mr, Reade did not believe me. He stepped aside to let me pass, and raised his hat very sftHy then his manner changed all at once, "Why, you are crying My darling, I didn't mean to make you cry I" I could not stop him â€" I did try â€" but he was so much bigger than I that he had his arm3 around me before I could get away. "Oh, Mr. Reale, let me go I" I said, frightened. But, asl held up my face to say it, he kissed me, and, after that, of course it did not matter, for I knew that he loved me and that I was safe with him, I remember every word that he said to me as we walked toward the Alders that night; but, if I were to write it down, it would read just like the same thing over and over again, aud not at alias it sounded to me. We did not go straight back, but a looger way round, for fear the grass should make my fetjt wet and we passed the front gate and went on to the side gate that led past the stable. And there Laurence left me, fcr I did not want that spiteful Sirab to see him with me, I went through into the shrubbery, so happy that I could scarcely keep from singing softly to myself, But, as I came close to the stables, I left off, for fear Mr, Riyner, who might be in his room, as it was now quite dark, should, hear me, and want to know how I got back. End why I was so late and just then I could not have told him, I wanted to slip up-stairs to my room without seeing any one, and go straightway to sleep with the remembrance of Liurence and his last kiss all fresh and undisturbed in my mind. Then I thought I should dream of him. But I was disappointed. For close under the stable-wall I saw two men's figures, neither of them Mr. Rayner's, and one of them held a dark lantern, I was frightened, for they made no noise, aid I thought they walked like thieves so I crept in among the trees and watched them. One of them softly tried the door of the harness-room, through which one had to pass to get to the upper story where Mr. Riyner slept. Then they came away and walked first down the path a little way towards the house, and then up it towards where I eijuched among the trees. They sauntered cautiously, but slowly as if waiting for some one, I did not feel much afraid of their seeing me, for I knew I was well concealed but I waseagei to get out and alarm the house, and 1 dared not move whild thay were in sight. Bat, when they came close, I recognizsd one as Tom Parkes, Sarah's lover, and in the other, much to mv surprise, the gentleman who had visited Mr, Ilayner after tea cm even- ing, whose conversation with Sarah in the plantation had so surpriseei me by its lamil- lar tone. 'I he moon, which had nowriaan high, fell full upon his face as he passed, and I had a better opportunity than before of observing him. He was rather short, of slim neat build, fair, clean- shaven, with gray eyes and an imperturbable expression of face. He had an overcoat and a big comforter over his arm, and was, as he had been before, very sarefuUy dressed. When they were just op- posite to me, they turned back, and, just as they got to the harness-room door again, Sarah came quickly from the house with a key, let them in, and followed herself. And in another minute Mr. Rayner passed me from the road and let himself in after them, I waited a few moments in wonder at this strange scene it seemed to me that I was always seeing curious things at the Alders. But I had something pleasanter to think about than mysterious night-visitors, and I ran quickly and lightly down the path to the nouse, where Jane, very sleepy, and surprised at my being so late, let me in. But that last adventure spoilt my dreams, I did indeed dream of Laurence but I dreamt that I was carried away from him by burglars. CHAPTER XV, Liurencs had promised to come tof me early the next morning, saying that I should be wanted to help to arrange the stalls, " I'll bring two of the Manners boys, and say we've come for the benches Mr. Riyner effered to lend for the children's tea," said he. "Then I'll y Mrs. Manners begs you to come at once, and I'll start off with the boys; and, when we get outside the gate, I'll send them on with the benches and wait about for you." I wondered why he could not wait for me in the house as a matter of course but he knew best, and I said nothing. The next mcraing I put on a white frock that I had been busily making during all my spare time for the last fortnight, and a broad sash of the palest lemon and pink that I had been saving up for some great occas- ion. Then I slipped into the garden before breakfast â€" for iherj was no knowing how soon after he might come â€" to gather a flower to wear at my throat. I purposely chose rather a fa led little rose, in the hope that Laurence might notice it and get me one himself to wear instead. I was going to put it in water until it was time to 8t«rt, when Mr. Rayner met me at the window. "Halloo, Miss Christie, stealing my roses 1 Well, since you had resolved to burden yourself with a crime, you might have made it worth your while. But I am not going to permit you to spoil the effect of your pretty frock and destroy the repu- tation of my garden by wearing such a mis- shapen thing as that 1 Never Come out again with me, and we'll find something better." This was not what I wanted at all but I was obliged to follow him, and to seem pleased when he gathered and gave me the loveliest little lata tea-rose possible, ani then found a beautiful bit of long soft moss to put round it. Liurence would never dare to suggest that this was not pretty enough to wear. After breakfast, I went into the school- room with Haidee but I was not in my usually soberly instructive mood and, when ± heard the frcnt-door bell ring, I took the "Child's Guide to Knowledge" from Haidee's hand and gravely held it before me for some minutes until she said timidly â€" "It begins at 'What ia tapioca?' Miss Christie." Then I felt ashamed of myself, and, mak- ing an effort, heard all the rest of her les- sons at intelligently as was necessary, and Eet her a copy in my best har:d. Then, just as I was thinking that my reward must be very near now, my heart sank as I heard Laurence's step returning through the hall, and those of the boys with him, while yet I had not been summoned, I wondered whether Laurence had forgotten all about me, and could hBve burst into tears at the thought that he would soon be helping to ar- range the stalls with pi etty Miss Kate Finch, But presently, when d sappointmenthadg ven place to despair, I came to what I suppose was a better mood, and reflected that it was all a just punishment for the careless and neglectful manner in which I was cer- tainly performing my duties this morning. And I went into dinner with all my bright spirits of the morning very properly chas- tened out of me. It was wicked and ungriit-zeful of me but, Mr. Rayner said brightly, "Mrs, Manners wanted you to go ani help her to prepare for the afternoon's festivities. Miss Christie; but we are not going to let you fag your- self out laying tables for a lot of dirty child- ren, so I said you should come later," I felt for the moment as if 1 quite disliked him, though it was really only another proof of hii kindness and care for me. After dinner, he himself aocompanied Hai- dee and me to the High Field, where the ha/.iAT and tea took place Mrs, Riyner was not coming until later. The school- children had been there some time when we reached the field and some of the rank and fashion of the neighborhood, the quiet people who came as a duty, were making purchases in the inaxquees. I saw Laurence standing outside the larger but less showy one of the two he looked very giave and gloomy, and did not come forward towards us immedi- ately, as I had expected. Was he offended because I had not ccme earlier Surely he must have known how much I wanted to do so His elder sister, much to my surprise, came out to meet me. " We have been waiting for you such a long time. Miss Christie," she said "we have kept a place tor you." And, although she did not speak much more pleasantly than usual, I thought it good-natured of her, and wondered whether Lvurence had spoken to her ab mt me and she was trying to be kind to please him, I followed her into the marquee, which was arranged with one long stall down each side. At one, cheap toys, sweets, and very inno- cent refreshments were to be sold the Sun- day-school girls stood behind it, presided over by the housekeeper from the Hall. Djwn the other side was a stall loaded with the usual display of mats, dolh, crochet- shawls, and tatting antimacassars, with here and there a gipsy-table or cushion mounted with wool-work, and a host of useful trill is, which were expected to fetch far mjre than their intrinsic value, But the custom- of former years, when the sale had been chitfly for the village peopl?, was not forgotten f and one end was piled up with underclothing and children's frocks aud a(|ua itity of cheap crockery and iron- mongery, the contributions of Baaconsburgh tradesmen. At this, decidedly the least m- terestiug corner of the whole bazaar. Miss Reade asked me if I would mind standing, " We chose this part fcr you, because you said you would like to have plenty to do and we know you are patient. And I assure you the old women trom the village will give you lots of occupation they always want to turn over ev.rything in the place and buy what they require for nothing." I think I would rather have sold some pretty things too but of course somebody must sell the ugly ones, and I really wanted to be useful so I looked carefully over the things under my charge and examined the price- tickets, which I thought wa? a busi- ness-like way of going to work, when Lau- rence at last strolled in and came up to me. He shook hands with a loving pressure, but he only said â€" "Hiw do you do. Miss Christie? They expected you earlier." And I felt so much chilled by the com- mon-place words and the "Miss Christie" that 1 could scarcely answer, I had not ex- pected him to say "Violet" before every- body, as he had done when we walked home on the previous night but he need not have us 3d my prim surname at all. Hut, as he stooped to push under the stall a box that tin' wa? sticking out, he said, in a very low- voice â€" "I must speak to you presently. Y^ou must make some excuse to getaway, and I'll watch you and meet you. I have soma bad news â€" at least, I don't know whether you will think it bad news." His whisper got so gruff during those last words tl ii •. r longed to kneel down on the ground by him and put my arms around his neck and tell him not to mind, whatever it was bat I coull only say softly, ;u I bent over a bundle of night-caps â€" "Of course 1 shall think it bid if you do," â- ' And he just glanced up with a look that made me hold my breath and almost forgot where 1 was, and his lips touched my frock as he rose, and 1 kn^w the bid news was still not 80 bad as it might be. Just then there was a stir and excitement outside, caused by the arrival of Lidy Mills and some of her party. They came into our marquee, and i thought I had nevOT seen ^y one 80 beautiful or so winning as Lady Mills herself, with her pretty cream colored gown covered with lace and bunches of pale roses in her hat and on her dress. The ladies with her were beautifully dressed to saw a" once that they were indeed "" Mabners bad said, not the style of " Geldham was accustomed to.
