I f . LADY CAR; ----- O R , ------ T H E SE Q U E L Q P A LI PE. B Y M R S . O L I P H A N T . CHAPTER V. 6 Continued. '“ J a n e t, who had never any words In which to convey the discoveries, and no one to say them to If she had found the words, saw it more clearly, and knew that som ething had happened, though what she could not divine. There were some faint changes scarcely perceptible, but de veloping gradually in Lady C a r’s habits, too. She was less in the li brary with her husband, abandoning this custom very slowly in the most natural way in the world, compelled by the other duties which with a daughter growing up became more im p o rtant every day. CHAPTER VI. Lady Car did many things after this period which she had previously dis liked to do; but there was one thing which she did not for a long time consent to, and that was to open the house in the No\th which was called the Towers, which Tom had been used to speak of as “ my place,” and which B e aufort thought it foolish of her not to inhabit. He did not know the ghosts th a t dwelt there. He did not consider that it was the house of her first husband, the house she was taken to as a most wretched bride after the m arriage into which she had been forced, and that the dread ful tim e of that bridehood, and the years she had lived with Torrance, and the moment of awful agony when she had heard of his death, all lin gered there waiting for her. Mr. B e a u fort only thought it was foolish, w h en she had a handsome house in Scotland at her command, th a t the fam ily did not go there in the au tum n , when it was natural th a t fam ilies should go. But he was not a m an to bore her by any repetition of this counsel. He had been a little surprised, and even it m u st be al lowed a little disconcerted, to find him self so much more at his own dis posal than of old, and now th a t Carry was not always at his side his habits, too, changed imperceptibly. His beautiful library was still his chief haunt, but he read the papers there and all kinds of profane things. And he went a great deal to Cordelton, w h ere the county club was, and spent a part almost of every day there. It was not that he had any great liking for the gentlemen who found it such a resource. Ho kept the position am o n g them of a man who was not as they were— a person superior in m any ways, a xvriter (though he never w rote anything), a philosopher. No \ / lo u b t he was entitled to th a t last character. He was very civil to them all, but regarded them from an alti tude,' m aking notes of w h a t he called th e “ h u m o rs,” and m aking them the subject of many satirical descriptions w h en he went home. Sometimes he w e n t up to London for the day, at first to \consult books, but latterly w ithout alleging any suc.i reason, end went to ip^ny places where were no books to consult. B u t it was very rarely th a t he did not return home in the evening. He had no desire for dissipations of any kind. He was far too much a philosopher, not to say a gentleman. Tom, perhaps, de scribed it best in his schoolboy lan guage when he said tjhat Beau liked to loaf. So he -‘id. He had no twist in his character. Had Lady Car fol lowed him in all his excursions she would have found nothing to object to, and indeed he would have enjoyed them much more if she had. But he had, as a m a tter of fact, no mission such as she had credited him with; he had no gospel to preach, nothing a t all to say. If there had been any thing more than youthful excitement and am b ition in his plans it had all evaporated in his listless life. He m ight have pushed on— many young m en do— and insisted upon m arrying his love, and saved her from Tom Torrance and the dreadful episode of her first marriage. He m ight have realized at least some of his early prom ises and anticipations. He m ight at least have roused himself from his sloth, and w ritten that book 'upon which her heart was so set. But, indeed, that last was doubtful, for he m ight only have proved that he could not w rite a book, which would have been harder on Lady Car than to rtbink he would not. The end of all things was. however, th a t he was im mensely relieved, and yet vaguely in sensible, by the change th a t had now come over his life. There was a change. The secret and constant, if som etim es a little exacting, compan ionship of those early years was one which gave him a vague ache as ol desertion, especially at first. And C a rry was changed. H e r questions, h e r argum ents, her constant persua sions and inducem ents to go on with th a t book (expressing always a boundless trust in his powers which it pained him to part w ith), were all ever. On the other hand, he had re gained his liben y, was now free to do H ^ he pleased— an indescribable Soon. W h at he planned to do was tlw ays quite gentlem a n like, comme 11 Jau^- There was no reason why be ihould be restrained In doing it. Ha iked to read, and also to think, with- sat I t being supposed to be necessary • a t anything should dome of Jhia thinking. Hn go to his London club now and then and have the stim u lus of a little con versation; he liked when there w a j nothing else, to go into Cordelton and talk a little to the country gentlemen and the sm a ller fry about, who were sufficiently im p o rtant to belong to the county club, and to come in occasion ally to sit with his wife in her draw ing room, to read to her, to tem p t her to talk, even to give J a n e t a little lec ture upon literature, which she cared nothing about. He was on those oc casions a delightful companion, so easy in his superior knowledge, so unpretending. In their rich and easy life, without cares, without any em barrassm e n t about ways and m eans, or any need to think of to-morrow, he was indeed an admirable husband, a most charm ing stepfather, pleasant all round. W h at would any woman have wished for more? There was one period In this easy and delightful life which brought the change home to Beaufort with curious force for a m oment and no more. It was the period just after the publica tion of a book which went over his ground— the ground which it had al ways been supposed he was going to take. It forestalled him cn many points, hut in some went quite against him, contradicting his views. He brought in the volume with some ex citem ent to his wife, and read to her those portions with which he dis agreed. “ I m u st do something about this,” he said; “you see the fellow takes half my argum ent, and works out from It quite a different conclu sion. I have been too supine. I m u st really get to work at once, and not suffer myself to be forestalled and contradicted like this.” “Yes, Edw a rd,” said Carry gently. She smiled very sweetly upon him. with a curious tender smile, but she did not say any more. “ You speak as if you did not think it worth my while,\ he said, a little annoyed by her composure. “Oh, no; I think it quite worth your w h ile,” she said. He w e n t off a little disturbed, vexed, half angry, half sad, but certainly stim u lated by h e r .• W as it indifference? W h a t was it?\' Had she responded as of old, they would have talked the m a tter over between them and taken away all its interest; but as she did not respond B e aufort felt the fire burn. He went off to his room, and got out all his preparatory notes and the be ginning of the long interrupted m a n uscript, and worked with vigor all night, throw ing his opposite views hastily upon paper. Next clay he an- \She thinks of such a lot of things th a t no one can be expected to know.” said Tom. “I don’t tay fellows, for she lets me alone now. I suppose you have got to read books all day.” “Oh, no; oh, Tom, we oughtn’t to talk like this and laugh, for she’s— m o ther’s very kind. She is indeed. She sees in a m o ment if I ’m tired.” “She’d need to ,” said Tom; “ b u t I don’t suppose girls mind.* You come out now and have a game. Will she let you? If she won’t, jhst steal away— ” “Oh, Tom,” said Janet again, “how can you speak of m o ther so? She never stops any fun, now— when there is any,” the girl added after a pause. Lady Car was at the other end of the room, seated in the recess cf a broad window which looked on the wide landscape. She had been v Bit ing for Janet, who had asked her assistance in some work she was A Tactful Crescendo. \In the province of Holstein,” says a traveller who spends a good deal of his time abroad, “where, of course, nothing is more im p o rtant than the 1 breeding of superior cattle, the coun try people are not only very thrifty but exceedingly fond of their cows, as may be gathered from a charac teristic story current th e r e : \It appears that one farmer was walking sadly down the road one day when the village pastor m et him. “ ‘Why so downcast, friend?’ ask ed the pastor. “ T have a sad errand, pastor,’ re plied the farmer, 'Farm e r Henrik’s cow is dead in my pasture, and I am on my way to tell him.’ “ 'A hard task, indeed.’ ‘“ You may well say so, pastor; but I shhll break it to him gently.’ “ ‘And how will you do that?* ‘Oh, I shall tell him first it Is his G.

Janet was painting flowers upon some little three-legged stools for a bezaar, and though 'she only copied the “pat terns,” she required in the execu tion some hints from her mother, who had once made considerable progress in the study of art.

The council of the Royal College of Surgeons of England at a recent m eeting resolved that steps should much relieved as Janet was. She laid back her head upon the dim-colored satin of her chair, and watched the two young creatures With their rack ets, Janet carrying in her apron a supply of balls for their game. Sev enteen and a half — fifteen and a half— in the bloom which was half infantile, half grown-up, all fresh about th e m , nothing as yet to bring in black ears. They were not hand some, but Tom had a sturdy m anli ness and strength about him, and Janet, hsr m o ther thought, looked everything th a t was simple and trust- ! waistcoat all this is simply the life amining board and to take examina tion for the diploma in public health. It also resolved that women should be admitted to the examinations for a fellowship and to the examinations for license in dental surgery on the same footing with men applicants Dlcken’s Characters.

They were neither of them clever, she said to herself w ith a faint smile. How silly she had been! How she had worshiped talent — no, not talent, genius— and had hoped that they would surely have had some gleam of it—the two whom she had brought into the world. They had bc4n sur rounded with beautiful things all their lives. W h en other people read nounced to his wife that he m e a n t foolish nursery stories to their chil- ”to ruin th a t fellow’s book”— as tho quickest and surest way of express ing his dissent. “ Yes,” she said once more, but with a little rising color, \w h en, Edw a rd?” “Oh, I’ll send it to ‘Bowles,’ ” he said, m eaning “The Nineteenth Cen tury” of that day. Of course, “ The Nineteenth Century” itself had not yet began its dignified career. And he did an hour’s work that m o rning, but with softened zeal; and in the afternoon he repeated to himself that it was scarcely worth his while. The people who had read that fellow's book would not care to read a review ; they would be people on the other side, quite unlikely to pay any atten tion to the opposite argum ent. And as for the general public, the general public did not care a straw tor all the social philosophy or political economy in the world. So a fter another hour's deliberation he put all the papers back again— w h a t was the use?— and wont into the county club, and brought back a very am u sing story of the complicated m etaphors and confused reasoning of some of the gentlemen there. It did not strike dren she had nourished them upon the very best— fables and legends which were literature as well as story; vet Janet liked the 'patterns for her stool better than all the prints and pictures, and Tom never opened a book if he could help it. And what m atter? she said to herself, with that faint smile of sejf-ridicule. The chil dren were none the worse for that. Her fantastic expectations, her fan tastic disappointm ent, what did they m a tter! She was altogether a most fantastic woman— everybody had sai l it all her life, and she recognized fully the tru th of the accusation now. Who should be so happy as she? Her husband so kind, always with her, thinking of everything that would make her happy. Her children so good (really so good!), wise, well- conditioned— Tom so manly, Janet all that a girl should be, very, very different indeed from Carry as a girl. But what a good thing that was! Janet would have no silly ideal, would desire no god to come from the skies, would not torm e n t herself and every one about w ith fantastic aspirations. She would love some good, honest and laughter of the actual English people. One has only to go down the Battersea park road on a Saturday night to hear it.—G. K.

But he rem arked her smile with a curious sensation which he could not explain, seemed to him som ething new— very sweet (her smile had al ways been sw eet), very patient, in dulgent, with a look of forgiving in it, though he did not know very well what there was to forgive. He for got in a short time about the answer he had intended to write to that book, and about the review into which his intended answer had so soon slid— In Intention— b u t he was haunted for a very long tim e by Carry’s smile. 'W h a t did it mean? Tom and Janet were just as little aware to w it was that their m o ther was so much more with them than of old, but this had come on gradual ly, and It did not strike them except by moments. “ Why you’re always with m o ther now,” Tom said, when he came home for his holidays. He was now at Eton, and, though he had been in several scrapes had managed to keep his place and was In high hope of getting into the boats, which was the only distinction he had any chance of. “Tea,” said Janet, s'hdately, “for I'm growing up now, and m o ther says I w a n t the m o st— ” \la n ’t. It awful sop?” said Tom which was Eton (at that time) for London and hard work. He had the grace to speak low, and Jan e t gave him « glance upward w ith raised eyelids, and they both laughed, but w f t l r that no one alight apk why. and would live tho common life, tho common, happy life, as the family at Easton were doing now. Edward, gone over to Cordelton to the county club— the natural resource of a man in the country; the brother and sis ter playing tennis on the lawn— the boy expecting to get into the boats, the girl delighted with a new pattern for her stools. And no cloud any where, no trouble about starting them in life, no em b a rrassm ent about money or anything else. How happy a family! Everything right and pleasant and comfortable. As Carry lay back In her chair, thinking all these happinesses over, her eyes ran oyer with sudden tears, for satisfac tion and joy. When the tea tray came in the young ones appeared with it, very hungry, and ready for the good things which covered the little table. Lady Car watched them consume the cakes with the same smile which had puz zled Beaufort. “ Would you really like so very m u ch,” she said with a little hesitation, a lingering lu her voice, \to go to the— Towers for the n e tt holidays, Tom ?” “Should I like!” said the boy, jumping up with his mouth full of bread 4ad butter. \W hy, m o ther, better than anything in the w o rld!” “Oh, mother!\ Janet cried,' with a glow upon her face.
