The oonversetion again turned on the lost bride, but Neville was reticent as regarded his feelings toward her; it was too sore a. subject, moreover. Though surprised to find himself convers- ing for nearly an hour with his brother, without any rupture of their unusually friendly tone, he was nevertheless not die- posed to dwell upon his tenderer emotions, not display his wounds to so critical an eye. 1 A1,. 4:-..

I require nothing more this afternoon, you can go at once. Is Miss Thibaut in the house?

She ought, she must; but how to begin, how to find words? how to excuse herself for her reserve, her want of confidence in her excellent, her only friend 7 Mr. Watson talked on with unusual cheer- fulneee, diverging from the eubiect of his brother to many others connected with his lens, benevolent and personal ; and still aria only half hearing What he said. sought in vain for the words which would not come. At length overwhelmed by the sense of a terrible orieie impending over her, in which she would be utterly helpless. “ I will inquire, sir,” said the sedate digEomgfiic-lopyiqg valet, who left the room. . , ,1 ,:LL -A H.» Meantime, the brothers parted,with more of mutual comprehension and good will than they had ever known before. The one was softened and disposed to universal kindliness by the delicious, indescribable wuLLubh which hm] egruug up in his heart toward one gentle, humble, yet puzzling child, as she was compared to him, and thence permeated every thought and every impulse. The other, crushed and beaten to the ground by the sense of defeat, by the terrible consciousness, that on him lay the guilt of perhaps ruining an innocent, blameless life, through his selfish schemes and culpable want of self-restraint. “That is exactly what I do not feel inclined to do,” observad Mr. Watson, with a. pleasant smile, as the door closed behind the speaker. “Neither to listen not to 51688.? “No! rather something of the delicious- ness of returning health. I have much to thank' God for.” he continued; “ many unexpected mercies to acknowledge; and you are right! Mercy} is indeed twice bles- sed. I am wonderfully relieved by being at; peace with my brother, but a Male nur- prised that he has not been1h‘ere to-day.” " Unusually well, thank God 1" he returned. “I see that Sir James is sur- prised at my progress. In fem, I imagine I shall rise renewed from this sick bed.” “ I trust 50,” said Marie softly. “ Nevertheless, sir," said nurse, prepar- ing to leave the roomâ€"“ I would not make too bold~don’t you try to listen too hard. It you feel inclined to drop off to sleep while Miss Tilibaut reads, Just you give in to it." “III hope you are not feeling feverish," said Marie, as she sought for the big book on “ Daniel.” It was quite dusk when Marie stole back to the institution, too worn out with anxiety and emotion to know clearly what she was about. She went to visit Mr. Watson, who was too tired to sneak much ; she answered his few questions; she smiled a mechanical smile when he said significantly that he had had a friendly interview with his brother. and that her (Marie’s) doctrines had not been preached to him in vain. Then she read to him, so mechanically, with so much unconscious pathos in the voice, which was evidently tuned to some strain of sadness he did not recognize, that at length he dismissed her with a kindly word, “Poor child, you have been doing too much; go, go to rest; to-morrow we will talk of many things.” Mr. Watson’s afternoon had been taken up by e. longervisit than usual from the great surgeon, who had declared his patient to be going on remarkably well, as also by an interview with his confidential clerk. It was therefore dusk before Marie received the dreaded summons to the sick men’s room. A day elapsed during which nothing was heard or seen of Captain Nev1llo. Marie endured a. martyrdom of doubt, uncer- tainty, and despair during those long yet swift hours since his sudden paralyzing appearance. She felt that the moment for action had come ; yet how to act she could not tell. Nurse was lighting the lamp and arrang- ing the shade, when Marie entered and wished the patient good evening, making at the same time how he felt. Roberts returned to say thnt Miss Thi- bsu: was not in the house, and then departed on his master’s errand, leaving that gentleman in 8. condition of irritable discontent, very diecomflbing to the nurse, who put it all down to the excitement of seeing his brother.

At the end she dwelt vehemently on the cruel humiliation of being married by mistake, of being reproached with deception, and earnestly implored her listener to save her from the sad fate of being returned on the hands of a husband whose fortunes she had inno- cently been the means of ruining. , , nu nL- With this prayer upon her lips she Bank at last to sleep, only to be roused in a. few hours by the nurse with the startling news that Mr. Watson was in a. raging fever. “ So you had better get up, Miss; 1 see I shall want all the help I can get. He will be trying to get out of‘bed next. We have sent off for the doctor. This comes of brothers and business, beftfle a man has half got over such a. smash up as he has had. I knew how it would be; and he was going on so beautiful, only no one would heed me. Here! here’s your dressing gown. Come along do.” And yet that knightly-looking soldier had stolen her in mistake for the sake of the money he thought she possessed, and dared to insult her with the accusation of an imposition base as it was barefacad. "For- give us our trespasses as we forgive them that trespass against us 7”. u ‘ V """ J "V "" 'â€""'â€"> *" u “And you! must I lose you too?” she Bobbed at the end of her story. “ Can you ever, ever forgive the species of deceit I ha.ve practiced on you? Oh, if you knew the shame and shrinking that held me silent, the impossibllity of confessing that Yet was there 11013 a. shadow of infidelity toward Guy in all this regretful tenderness. Ah, no ! how her heart leaped at the idea of meeting him once more evento say good- by for ever, of once more gladdening her eyes with the sight of the form and face which to her had been the worthiesfi dwell- ing-plece fer e: chigalg‘o‘uesgirit! “I oouldâ€"â€"I do !” cried Marie, clasping her poor trembling hands. “He drew my heart to him from the first, and though I feel at times thrills of indignation against him for the wrong he did me in thought, I never can cease to regret him. It is this that would make life insupportable with him, Whenâ€"when he did not want me.” A low moan broke from her hearer’s lips. “ Leave me." he said; “I must be alone.” “ But is it well or safeâ€"" ” I must be alone," he repeated with fierce resolution. Then he held out his hand again, and Marie, cluspiug it in both hers. kissed it reverently. Marie, though Lehaken to the depths of her being by this trying scene, could hardly believe in the sense of relief she experiencd now that all had been confessed. She cared little for any other opinion save that of her friend and benefactor, and now that he knew her in her true colors and did not reject her, she felt a. fresh etrengthz He was so goodâ€"so strongâ€"that he would soon surmount the strange weakness he had so nearly confessed. In recalling it she wept long and thought of the stern face all soft and glowing in his affection for her- self with the warmest, tenderest sympa- thy. She felt how grand and noble a. nature lay imprisoned in the rugged form that shivered at her touch, and she wished in the purest innocence for all their sakes that she had met him first, for she felt she could have loved him. “ You do not know what you say, child," turning a. stern and searchmg glance upon her. I‘Do you then no longer love this manâ€"yogi: husband?” “ Poor lonely child.” he murmuxed bro- kenly ; “ have faithâ€"have hope! I will be your friend always. G01 to-morrowâ€" to-morrow we will plan. Now leave me ; I want to be alone with God.” And Marie stole noiselessly away, her head bent, her breath hushed by that vague indescribable awe which few can resist when they see another visibly impressed by_ some unseen spiritual presgnce. n n “ You have erred, sorely erred in not telling me all at first,” he returned with deep gravity. " You must see yourself how much would thereby have been saved. Yet trust me still. I will not forsake you.” His voice shook, and he resumed after a. moment’s muse, “You, too, have been sorely sinned against; we must try and repair the past." -- -." . u- q,,. “ But, dear Mr. Watson, kindest, truest friend, you will not force me to return to Guy! you will not force hxm from mistaken ideas of justice to take me back; help us rather to break the slender bond that links us." , ,, A , For twenty-four hours the terrible fever anfi (lelirimn helé. the newly recovered patient in their burning grasp. The Elector, nurse, and surgeon Were all equally puz- zled, m hitherto he had media such satis- iwzzorv progress. “ Some family quarrel is probably ml the boztom of all this excite- mem," observed the surgeon to the doctor. “ He talks continually of his brother, and calls on him to do justice and make atone- ment. Then his religious craze is a very dangerous elmsnt in his condition. The nurse tells me he raved much of some awful deadly sin for which there was no forgiveness, Still he certainly is' calmer ‘ and stronger this evening. I think he will l pull through.” And he did. The second night after Marie‘s avowal, toward daybreak, he fell into a quiet sleep, which she watched in a state of mind almost indescribable, counting the moments as they slowly dropped away into that goat gulf ‘_‘ the past," a‘oame daring to hope, knowing but too well the reason of the patient’s relapse, and why his last state was so much worse than the first, feeling that if. indeed, he succumbed, it‘ would have been her want of truth and candor that killed him. How could she endure life if this misfortune befell her? But God was merciful to her youth~her innocenceâ€" and as she watched and prayed, Watson slumbered. Every quarter of an hour’s quiet was so much gained against despair. At last the first oold,blue-grsy light began to steal through the chinks in the shutters. Au hourâ€"two hoursâ€"â€"three had passed, and still he slept, while new life and hope began to dawn in Marie’s I heart with the dawning day. “TEE-I;gigeiagisfiiifigfiérWhispered to the nurse. who came tq reliege per_at payer}: T‘Wellivl fidgliercrlarel I begin to-believe he will get through after all.

Still Marie sat motionless, unemployed, dawning hope dispersing the thick blackness that had settled down over her heart, her mind; nolw other thoughts began to suggest them- se ves. nu. . vu- Wheh had become of Guy? When would he reappear? He might come to-mon‘owâ€" to-deyâ€"in an hour or twoâ€"and then a glance would tell her what her future would beâ€"either full of love and light joy, or the blackness of darkness for ever. The one supreme evil from which she preyed to be delivered was the horror of being reluc- tantly received and compelled to take the position of an unloved wife. Mr. Wation’a second recovery dated from that refreshing sleep, but the wild excite- ment of fever was succeeded by extreme weakness and a. gloomy silence almost unbroken. the good fight, and routed the flesh and the devil. Nevertheless she feared to disturb him by uttering a. word. She ventured to stroke the hand next her gently; and then she held the cup to him. and helped him to eat its contents. When he had quite finished he murmured very low, “ I thank you,” and watched her with an anxious look as she moved to a table on the other side of the room, an expression of content replacing it, as she returned to her old seat by the bedside. Then he said very weakly, “ Has not my brother returned 7” " No, dear Mr. Watson.” “ I an: greetly surprised. Marie 1" “Yes.” “ He must be sent for. You must be united, it will be the best for you, for himâ€" certainly for him.” “Do not disturb yourself,” said Marie persuaswely. “ I am so grateful to you for your forgiveness, for the interest you still show in me, that I promise to be guided b‘y youâ€"to do whatever you bid me. Does that content you ‘P” Msrie was afraid to go near him. and he did not: appear to have asked for her; yet she longed to be “ friends with him again," as she called it in her school’girl phraseo- logy. She stole at intervals into his room to learn how he was and to help nurse, but she instinctively kept out of h_is sight. ’- She was most restless and uneasy. If Mr. Watson turned against her, what was she to do? In this mood the effort to teach, to keep order, was almost beyond her strength ; she had a tangible hysterical feel- ing at times that she must scream aloud in he: agony, and give up all attempt at seem- ing. Yet again her native good sense, the quiet force of her character, enabled her to rally and keep fest hold of herself control. in: “I am sure I am glad you have come, Miss Thibsut.” whispered the nurse. “ He has been slightly restless, and looking about; I think he wants you. You’ll take my place a. bit, won’t you? though you look as if you ought to be in the doctor’s hands yourself." “I am only tired,” said Marie with 3. won little smile. “ The school-room was oppressive; Iwill stay with pleasure. It is time for his beef-tea, is it not ?" “ It is; and here is Mr. Roberts with it." Marie took the cup, and waited on instant till the nurse had gone, and she was alone with the sufierer. Then she softly drew near the bed, and met the deep, dark eyes, which were raised with a. wistful expression of waiting, of yweariness to hers. Marie could not speak. She stood an instant mute and still, the cup in her hand; and then her anxiety on one head was suddenly completely relieved; for a. smile so klnd, so tender, so bright, spread over the suf- ferer’s face, that Marie knew she was for- given, thet she was re-adopted, and even, better still, that her benefsotor had fought The day hit one after Mr. Watson had taken a. turn for the betterâ€"and days are ages in a condition of mind, and under circumstances such as Marie’sâ€"she en- countered Roberts, Mr. Watson’s man, in the entrance hall on her return to the school-room. “ How does Mr. Watson seem tic-day ?j’ she asked. -.â€". .. . ‘1 " '1?A£5'§6Egoi£gin; Miss?" continued Rob- erts. “The doctor seemed to think Mr. Watson might be the better of being read “ I will go; I will ask nurse,” returned Marie, her eyes filling at his words.

On the very top lay one, the writing and super- scription whereof made Marie turn red and pale, and thrill through all her veins, as she remembered how often she had hesitated and trembled to open missives written in the same hand and addressed to herself.
