The People Loved Her Much. But when the tidings burst upon them like a. bombshell from Ireland that Annea- ley has actually gone over to what they regard as the barren and barbaric west coast of Ireland, to buy an estate and eventually settle there, lementetions of a. loud and reprobetory order arise. The young lady who is champion of the best amateur lawn-tennis club in the country, and who has been looking forward to retaining her prominent and honorable posmon on the ground where she has gained her murals, “ While her figure lasts,” is reduced to tears of mortificetion and disappointment as she reads her lover’s letter, though, to do him justice, he has painted 8.11 thlngs in rose colored hues. 1- :,,1 _._._, LL”; r “ It’s all Dolly’s doing. I feel sure that Robert would never have done such a. mad, idiotic, unkind thing it Dolly had not urged him on,” she cries, when she had communi- cated the contents of the letter to her family. “I hate the Irish! They all go about barelooted, and eat raw pork and potatoes, and shoot at you from behind hedges. Manama, I will not; go there.” "'â€"’n"' , “ We must reason him out of the pur- chase and away from the place,” Mrs. Lepell seys, reassuringly. She remembers that she has five daughters younger than Marian, and that engagements are not so easily made as broken. . . ‘ “ I shall take very good care to have your money tied up in such away that none of i shall be thrown into the bogs of Darragh,” Mr. Lepell says, with becoming emphasis and pomp. “Why on earth Annealev should take a step which he must know very well is directly opposed to my view of things I cannot understand ; if he had any cash lying idle I could have invested it for him in a. way that would have brought him wealth and reputation and the satisfaction of an honest conscience." “ He will be a. county man, won’t be?" Mrs. Lepell asksali’otle anxiously. “After all, if in is ‘ dirt cheap,‘ as he says, it may not be a. bad investment. ‘Mru. Annealey, Darragh, Galway, and Cavendish Square,’ will look very Well on the cards." W t[Ii/3.8.11 Dolly‘s doihga, I feel sure,” says Marian. “ Under that straightforward, geflaruus manner of burn there’s a lot I don’t like. 1 know she thinks that when I marry her brother I ought to give up thinking so much about tennis and things of that sort. She’s always digging it into me that Robert, and Robert; only, is to be thought of; just. as if I didn‘t know how to behave to the man I am going to marry.” “ I shall take very good care than no one mefldles with Annealey‘s money matters but myself if he wants to merry my dnugh» ter," Mr. Lepell rejoins. “ If he can get this place and let it to a decent tenant, and the present people stay in and keep things quiet in Ireland, I’ll say nothing; but it he takes up residential and regenerating notions, not a penny of Marien’e money shall be in his power. I’ll tie it up so tightly that no one but herself can touch it." “Ih's very wrong of any one to come between engaged people,” Mrs. Lepsll says, earnestly. “If I thought: that Dolly was interfering, in any way, I would soon give 361' to know that she must- ceasu to med- le." “ In any case that will be the wisest thing to do. pups.” Marian says, a. little eagerly. "Just imagine spending money on a. place so far away where no one can see one.” “It would look well to some of our friends if you could ask them in the autumn to your country place, even though it is in Ireland,” Mrs Lepell says, With the same‘ sort of magnunimous toleration which she might extend t0 5 suggested temporary sojourn in Timbuctoo or among the Esquimaux. “0h, mamma. No!

If Dolly were out of the way Robert would be a lamb in your hands 1â€"3. perfect lamb; and your dear papa. would be able to forward his interssts in so many ways.” “ He has got in with a. bad lot. I’m afraid," Mr. Lepell says, ahaking his head. “ I’ve never approved of the intimacy with that Killeen set; a title without a. rent-roll to keep it_up is a. miserable thing lâ€"a. most miserable thing, and I’m told that if Lord Killeen had children to bring up he would be a. pauper. A pauper with a handle to his name is, to my mind, a contemptible creature. I’d fer rather have to deal with men of my own stampwmen who have raised themselves to affluence by then: own ability and perseverance. When I started in life I made up my mind to do certain things, and have certain things, and I’ve done them and got them 501er through my own exertions." “ Yam-papa, everslbody knows that about y°u'.Pa'Pa'" . ‘ u a .- . v “ End you’ve always had a careful, pru- dent wife at home to supplement your efforts abrotvl, papa,” Mm.

And it happened that a. maiden, Fair as maiden e'et cnuld be, Sat there idly in the sunset, Deep in Hugo‘s “ fiinetlelln'ce.” And it also happened, strangely, That a. drummer. fishing nem', Wandering down the brooklet's border, chanced to wander idly here ; And with stealthy stop approaching,â€" Noiselessly, for trout are shy,â€" There he softly o’er the edges Dropped 1115 most; successful fly.

I think the way the Muckivers bahave to Mrs. St. John would be a. amnion to any sensible person not to let a duughner enter Muir fumlly.” Mm. Lapel} says, with & Burisigh-like nod of the hand. “ Mrs. St. John ls a woman who is qmte able to take care of her oWn interests ; the Mackivers won’t succeed in sowing her down in this neighborhood, for she knows that we support her, my dear,” Mr. Lepell says to his Wife, in his loftiest tones. Mrs. St. John, who occupies one of the smallest and least pretentious, but withal one of the prettiest and most expensive bijou residen- ces in the neighborhood of Weybridge, has a garden-party and lawn-tennis match this afternoon. Mrs. St. John is a delightful little person, on the right side of the middfe : age, with a " story,” and a very presentable personal appearance. She “aims at taking aplace among the literary aspirantsâ€"not the literary ‘sucoesses’â€"of the day,” she tells people. And as already she has become a standing dish in a monthly maga- zine and a power on one or two weekly periodicals, she may be credited with hav- ing achieved her aim. Her brain is always at work, and her hands are always full, every minute of her time is “precious to herself,” she assures her hearers modestly. But she loves to see her friends about her, and to hear the laudatory mention they make of her while they knock the tennis-balls about, or partake of her elegantly arranged little banquet-s, which are neither lunch- eons nor teas, but a bewildering, agreeable admixture of both. One of these little banquets is going on in Mrs. St. John’s dining room, the whole and of which is Window, opening to the south- west, when Marian Lepell’e possible ban- ishment to & penal settlement called Gulway, a. place not even in the United Kingdom, crops up and is discussed. Oddly enough the name of “ Derragh” is no sooner mentioned than some one present “knows something about it”â€"~a.fter the unpleasant habits some people have of per- petually proving to us that “ this world is very small, after all.” p , - ‘1‘,“ “ Darraghl Do you think of going there to live? It belongs to a cousin of mine, Killeen,” a. man says, who is seated next to Miss Lepell at the table. -r " Mr. Annealey thinks of buying it, so I suppose I shall have to stay there some- times. Can you tell me about the place?” Manan says, in a. tone that [seems to assume that it is only the culpably ignorant who are not cognizant of Mr. Annaaley’s existence and of the relation in which he stands to herselfâ€"Miss Lepell. "Oh, do give ua one of your wonderful word-pamtmge of it, Mr. Thynne,” the hostess cries, sleeping her plump little hands together, and loaning across the table toward Mr. Arthur Thynne, with a. great display of deep interest and cultivated enthusiasm. “ Anything about the oppressed land is so abeorbmgly interesting to me,” she continues; “ I long to go over there, and work among them, and strive to immor- talize them with my poor pen.” There is such an astounding mixture of arrogance and humility in this speech that Arthur Thynne is struck dumb for the first time in his life for a. moment: or two. Then his vocal powers return with native force. “ If Dafrrugh depended upon me, Mrs. St. John, I’d take care to have it; in such good case that I could show 9. very attractive picture of What the Irish can do With their own to English eyes; as it is. it‘s paesed 02' passing into the hands of an English apathe. cal-v, amid for my part I don’t care how eoon iu’a laid waste and become another incen- tive to action instead of gustytalk.” Above all things, Mrs. St. John is a. diplo- matic woman, and this mention of the man who is engaged to her “ dear friend Marian Lepell” as an “ English apothecary,” espe- cially as in is made by anothef dear friend, Mr. Arthur Thynne, is very terrible to her. To hear Mrs. Sta. John discourse one would imagine that “ her dear friends" outnum- bered the haira on her head or the Bands of the. sea. Oddly enough. when she comet-1 to individualizo and particularize, you loam that each one of those dear friends has “ wronged her faith,” or “ betrayed her trust,” or ” misunderstood and maligned her.” To hear her describe herself you must be made of impenetrable stuff indeed if you do not perceive her to be one of the meek- eat and most longveuffering of women. This View of her case obtains with some people lastingly, while others are unreason- able enough to date the destruction of some friendships that have been dear to them to the day on which they introduced Mrs. St. John to the friends Who are falling away. Be this as it may, she ie at very popular little woman in a certain set, and men of the 1n05t rigidly moral stamp are heard to inveigh against the “ baseneas and coward- ice of St. John in deserting her in the way he does.” Not that this admirable little woman is separated from her husbwd 1 Only “ Mr. Sb. John lllses to enjoy himself, and mv vocation isâ€"Workl” she says, with her pleadipgly pathetic smlle, to those publish- ers and editors who interview her. They do not presume to inquire into the history of a. lady who is so verbally grateful for their small mercies, but they one and all aver that she “ has been abominably treated,” and that it “behooves them to glve her a. lifn, if poaaible.” Mr. Arthur Thynne, the men who is going in for a. Galway borough on Home Rule principles. is the latest addition she has made to the list of table men Who believe in her and take her at her own valuation. She learns his articles by heart and quotes them to him in an impromptu manner in the most opportune way. He is almost surprised at the beauty of the sentences he has constructed himself, when she delivers them in pointed style before people who are open to the influence of What they call “a. good delivery.” He thinks it is all spontaneous on her part, and has no notion that she takes a. weekly lesson in elocutiou from a gifted lady. who advertises herself as ready to teach ” mem- bers of Parliament, clergyman, barristers. and public entertainers generally,” how to make themselves understood by their audi- encee. “ I am in the Way of hearing the opinion of a. great many leading men in the world of letters about you,” she says to Arthur Thynue. “ Some way or other they are all kind to poor little me, and I am proud to think that I am treated as aconfidential friend by many whose approval is sought in the most sycophantish way by some lady novelists whom I could mention. I take what comes to me, but I never sock the friendship of great men ! I never sought yours, did I? though I was anxious â€"ohl how anxious to gain it; and now I has: from those who are competent to speak on such matters, that you are quite the ‘coming msn’ of your partyâ€"that you willibe the Gsribaldi of Ireland, in fact.” JV“ .. n.

Who likened me to Garibaldi?” “70 I in {ova are we ‘2” she says, pressing her plump chin arohly down upon her “Was it ‘2" aha responds, coolly. “ I’m sorry to hear that. for though of course ifi was the worst half, you may fall into the folly of relying on her and thinking you can’t Work without her.” “I never want to do amything Without her,‘_’ her replies. "1 must, not tell you,” she says, hanging her head down, with an air of modest embarrassment that would be infinitely becoming in a. girl. Then she feels that she has blundered in dragging Garibaldi into the conversation in such a way, and so seeks to turn it. “Your last article 111 ‘Matter of fact‘ was surpassingly, entrancingly clever. I devoured rather than read it.” “ More nhan half of it was written by my cousin Darmgh," he mystgratefglly. plump chest, and throwing her eyes up at him from that position in a.

On the other hand, he is not an all above feeling that if Mrs. St. John does, as she says» she does}, know a number of men of "light and leading,” that she may be useful to him and to that cause which he has so honestly at heart. On the other hand, Whatever she might have been in former times, she is anything but a. pretty little woman now! But the days of his life in her favor will be surely numbered if he implies this. Accordingly, caution marks the guarded way in his reply. (And let it be here observed that no one can be more cautious on an emergency than an impulsive son of Erin.) “ It is hard to believe that, those years are things of the past,” he says, sawing, his conscience and soothing the lady’s vanity at the same time. As uttered by him they sound in Mrs. St. John’s ears as if the days of her prettinese were still present in his estimation. But the meaning he attaches to them in his own mind is something rather different. However this may be, the lady is well pleased with him, and remembering that this young man is on the press and may help her novels on at some future time, ehe flutters him to the top of his bent, declares that “ if there is an Irish Parliament again he Will be the leader of the House at least," and leaves him longing for a great crisis to come which may give him the opportunity he pants for of distinguishing himflelf. NEITHER “ FREE NOR UNITED." Lord Killeen and the cadet of his home, Arthur Thynne, haw. been closeted together in the library for two or thee hours, and the ladies of the family are still in igno- rance of the nature of the prolonged debate. Lady Killeen. indeed, is placidly indiffer' enb. To her Arthur is a person who lacks all interest. In Ireland he has always mixed himself up with the people who had grievances, real or imaginary, against her husband, and Whom therefore she cordially and naturally doteste. And in England he writes flaming arti- cles in journals thus are not: of the first form, and she gets congratulated abous them, as one of the family, by obnoxioua people who will persist in regarding the clever young political littemtem‘ as 9. person of whom she ought to be proud. Among these obnoxious people is Mrs. St. John, who resembles a snowball in the force and power she possesses of rolling along and gaining as she rolls. The pro- lific and popular authoress is not at all the sort of person who, on a. superficial View of the case, would be deemed likely to become the familiar friend of Lady Killeen, who, if he is anything marked, is prourily stupid, and stupidly afraid of derogaiing from her own dignity. ButMrs. St. John has mastered her completely, and established herself on such a footing in the house that Lady Killeen’s older friends stand no chance against her. But when she sings the praises of Arthur Thynne she ever- steps the mark, and causes Lady Killcen to remember that “ these people are all very Well in their way, but are sadly deficient in tact.” “Mr. Thynne is a renegade from the politics of hm family. and a. less good- natured man than Lord Killeen would die- own him altogether,” she says, whsn Mrs. St. John unadvisedly purrsforth a. flattering prophecy concerning him. “I wish you wouldn’u praise him up to me, Marie,” her ladyahip goes on fretfully, “ I always feel him a drug on our wheel. If it were not for him that, goose Darragh would marry Lord Ponbank; besides,” she adds, with an angry blush, “ I’ve other rem-30118 for dislikmg him, and for wishing with all my heart; them I might never hear of Arthur Thynne agmn.” Still holding the door in her hand, Dar- mgh wheels round suddenly, and leans her back against it in an attitude in which grace, ease and defiance are superbly min- glad. u “ I forgot for a. moment that this was not my father’s house any longer, and only remembered that I was my father’s daugh- But though Lady Killeen is indifferent to what may be passing between her hus- band and his cousin during this long privy council which they are holding. them is one with her who is almost agonizingly on qui viva as to the result of it). Darragll knows that; Arthur is going to ask some- thing 02 his cousin this dsy which if refused will make him a. reckless man, if not a. desperate one. Already he has spent more borrowed money then he can hope to repay in certain expenses which he regards as necessary preliminaries to the coming elec- tion. Now he wants funds from Lurd Kilieen in order that he may fight for a perinion in which he can powerfully advo- cate the views to which Lord Killeen is stanchly opposed. He has been a bold man to go to his cousin this day with such a. request! But Darmgh prays that his cool courage will mess with its due reward. “Where are you going ‘2" Lady Killeen asks sharply as Dnrragh opens the door, and Darmgh, a. little in resentment at the tone employed toward her, answers Incisivelyâ€" ” To the libraryâ€" to my cousins!” “ You must do nothing of the kind, Dar- mgh,” Lady Killeen says, looking up with soiutilating eyes and a. heightened color. “In my house at least; you shall not run aft-er Arthur Thynngâ€"" What these “ other reasona” are she does not say, but; Mrs. St. John shrewdly [3118‘ pacts that one of the most cogent of them 18 thah, failing male issue to the present; Lord Killeen, the literary young agitator is heir to the title and estates. And up to the present time Lady Killeen is a childless woman! (“ If Harry acts for himself he will do a good-natured thing, even if he thinks in an unwise one; but if he comes to his Wife for an opinion she’ll give it against Arthur, and sneer at him for wanting it into the bargain. How I Wish I could be with him; how I wish Lady Killen would go out and do Home of her everlasting shopping“) Darragh thinks this as she sits in the morning-room with Lady Killeen. Lady Killeen is painting one of a set of desert:- plates ; she is 8.. woman who prides herself upon being always employed, and really does do a vaat number of things which are neither useful not beautiful indifferently well. Darragh is doingâ€"nothing! that worst of Bins in the eyes of busily idle people. ”Are you going to waste the whcle morning, Darragh ‘I” the elder lady asks, looking u; from the wow: which is growing under her brush. “ You might just as well be out gaining health if you do nothing when you stay in._" _ “ Oh! no, Arthur is taking up his time, I believe. I hope, now he has come to town, that ha is not going to be an habituc of this house.” ” Arthur, at least, is not apt to waste his time; you needn’t fear that he will some here too often, Annette.” Darragh suye, 'ro quietly thet Lady Killeen is in doubt as to whether there 18 sarcastic meaning in the words or not. However, she resolves to tell her husband that “ his cousin Darragh has been very rude to her again this morn- ing, and that, longâ€"suffering as she is, she cannot be expected to put up with veiled insults forever.” Presently Darragh rises and moves toward the door. She can bear it no longer, this suspense ; she must find out) what the men of her house are talking abopb. “Ki'lleen éouldn’h ride with me this morggug," Dayrrsygh sgmyg lgrjefly.
