"Oun this subject it is utterly impossiâ€" ble for us to agree, Miss Trent, so it is better that we should not speak of it.

"They were talking of something nobody seemed to know anything about, and she said yon would tell us, if you had not left. I know she wonuld be glad if I took you buck with me. Come." Quictly, and in very few words, Royâ€" den resisted the warm, familiir invitaâ€" tion; but still Captain Trent was not to be so casily shaken off. "Thank you," returned Royden. showâ€" ing no impatience for the speaker; "but Miss Craven did not, I fancy, send you to summon me." . "Ob, certainly not." "If she had done so, I would have returned with you at once. As it is, you must excuse me." "Why is it Keith," he neaked very skilfully, as he fancied, treading ground which led to the solution of a trouble zome «peculation of his, "that you have avoided Honor all night?

Never had Hadnor‘s nitmre lheld a grain of selfishness, but in this wealthy, courted life of here the fact was more nppatent to Phoebe than it had beem in those old days at the Larches.

Her dreams were of the future stillâ€"poor Honor‘â€"when she allowed them . to come at all; but her own wes not the certral figure now, as it hal been in those old times; indeed, ber own was rarely there at all; and these dreams were all gray, and chill, and lonely. Now and then, but rarely, came back to her that autumn day when she had walked besige Royden while he told her how he loved her; or that evening when, in his own home, she had turned with negligence from the same story. But when such memories did come, she stifted them as if they hurt her, and then returned those ‘haunting dreams of the future, in which she sew him al ways alome, solitary and | unhapay; watched and suspected; always alone in the crowds which clustered about him, and even in whose merriment he jeivedâ€"a man standing aportâ€" So she saw him, chastened in heart and intelâ€" lect; and it was this coustant hauntâ€" ing thought of his grave rnd solitary life which brought that dreamy sadâ€" nees to her eyes so often, and kept at bay all thought e# love and close comâ€" panionship.

Except for a poss‘ng regret that old times and . memer‘es could be so ruthlcesly enapped by jeaâ€" lousy. it made no difference to Monor when Theodors happeocd to be in the same assembly, She invariably spoke to her, though no leager like an old frend, as she nsed to do, for Miss Trent‘s marked glances and _ innnea does could not be misunderstoog. If it had been possible, Theodora _ would have robbed Honor of the admiration and the love she gnined so ensil~; but being utterly imporsible, Mis« Trent was fain to content herse‘f with dropping easual and infectious hints. or express ing all that looks and gesturne could express. And it could hardly be that these poisonous words rud glances could fall aa harmlessly on every ore as they had fallen on Royden Keith. In those meetings, which were so brief, between himself ind Honor, she was ever very quiet, just as she might have been if @be feared to trust herâ€" self. And he, noticing that always at his coming there would fall over her face a stillness which looked like weark mess, made those mcetings fewer and mure brief ss the London season nearâ€" ed its zenith. Even Phocbe noticed that this silence fcoll upen her cousin even when she only . mentioned _ Royden‘s mame, ard it tanght the girl a new exâ€" perience, and even a new wisdom. And Hervey meant what be eald. He hi d forgiven hor intrusion into the Kenâ€" gington mansion, because, under Honâ€" or‘« skilful manngement, he was made to feel only the pleasant effect of hoe society; and it was impossible, sccing Monor‘s treatment of them both, for Aim to dream of Phoebe as an inter loper. Bo, gradually, he grew to h lieve what Honor had meant him to beâ€" lieve, that it was altogethcr a pleasabt arrengement. | ‘True, there were still times when be wished for nothing on earth so strongly as Phoebe‘s absence; but then the fecling wore itself out, as Heuor‘s conduct to himself still continuâ€" ed to keep all loverâ€"like ambition at bay, and still more rapidly wore itself out as Phoebe‘s silly moods grew raror; as common sense leavened her ecstaâ€" cies, and the desire to please, rather than charm, lightened herâ€" somewbhat heavy and disjointed conversc. ‘The only relief for sorrow of any kind, which had come within the radius of Miss Owen‘s imagination, wias reciproâ€" city; yet Homor did not avail herself of this. ‘Whatever this soreness at heart might be, Ifonmor bore it silently and alone, letting* no shadow of her grief full upon the path she had made so bright for others. It tought the elder wirl a lesson, too, of patience and unself~ ishness; not unbeeded, though Ionor‘s @uily example had made her now a pleasant companion, sympathetic, If still excitable, and kind in her harmless pursuit of plcaeure. She was, as Herâ€" vey told Ber one day, in a tone of apâ€" proval, which was equally new and pleasant to Phoebe, "losing her gushâ€" ing proclivities, and was | wonderfully the gainer by the loss." . So life went on in London, and ffonâ€" or, ever working ecaselessly and patientâ€" ly to probe that secret of old Myddel ton‘s murder, was etill gay, and sweet, und piquant in the society in which she was courted, walking, as it scemed, ever brightly in het path of roses, though the burden of pain, unshared and unspoken of, pressed upon her. She had arranged to go to Abbotsâ€" mcor eatly in July, and though Phoebe could not look forward with unmixed plessure to leaving the London world, which was so full of dolight for ber, she could still fimd solice in the pros: pect of reigning with Honor in the now beautiful mansion, which, in their childâ€" hood, had seemed to them an Aladdin‘s paiace in its shroud, behind whose rust and cobwebs slept a modern grandeur. In this grandeur she was to be almost equal to Honog, and there would always be guests and gayety. although Honor would be sure to work thore in catryâ€" ing out those curlons projects of hers for the good of the poor, who had been so long neglected by the possessors of old Myddelton‘s money and estate, and even for the good of many who, in the great city, struggled upon the hard highâ€" way of life, or fell and fainted om the battleâ€"plain, "Aml in all these things I shall be uselees," mused Phocbe, notâ€"to . her creditâ€"in her unwillingness to help, but in the consciousness of her own incaâ€" pacity. "But," and this was her conâ€" eolatory conclusion, "June is not gone yet." The certainty of this fact wns cspeâ€" clally refreshing to ber on the morning before the ball which Honor was to give in ber mansion at Kensington, on one of the last days of that hot eunmer month. R Honor, emiling, aaid she heped it would, and then dreemed over it quietâ€" ly, sceing most clearly among the crowd that one figure which, in those dreams of hera, always seemed to stand apart.

"We are going mway so eoon, nnd he has scecpted my invitation. Ob! he ie sure to come."

Why are you doubt Came unto us one day; We‘d prayed the Lord that he might send A little boy our way. We thought we‘d name after me, Our plans were knocked awry ‘The day the girl we didn‘t want Came floating from the sky. The little girl we didn‘t want Looked gravely up at me When we bad closed her mother‘s eyet And no one staid to seeâ€" Looked at me from upon my breast And, trusting, nestled there, Not knowing she had shattered dreama That we had thought so fair. The little girl we didn‘t want Has often sat with me Beside a grasy little mound No others stay to see, And often in the glad old days, With praceful skies above, We‘ve played along in pleasant ways Filled with each other‘s love. A little girl we didn‘t want The little gitl we didn‘t want Forsook me yesterday; Anither came and won her fove And carried her awayl & little girl we didn‘t want Came unto her and me, And I‘ve a broken heart and weep, Nor care who stops to seel â€"8.
