CHAPTER ~.
I" And she has left the aged one TO steep
Her nightly ebnch with tears for that lost
,,A,l l.srt t,nr a ma IN, ,,s..


| Her steps away, frem her own home besnied"
After this come the beginning of the end. A
morning dawned with every premonition of a
| storm.
Long soughing breaths Of wind came wandering
up the valley--were palpape to the touch, were
lost, retreatng and still retreating, with moan
disconsolate, as might have come from souls
whose corses, weed ,shrouded, were the play
things of the waves. 4.m.
| The gusts increased in violence until noon,
when the trees, which had at first but bent and
tossed their arms in supplicaton, commenced
| their keen cry of anguish; and when night fell
the blast went shrieking and screaming into
space, with fury that drove all things living to
shelter.
| 1t was a fearful night; and when the light Of
day came again to earth, and its fury was spent,
there went up wall from desolate hearthstone,
and cry of one who refused to be comforted.
because the child Of her old age had left her to the
the minstratons of those who held not the same
blood in their veins.
There was piteous tale told by quiveriDg lips,
of sleepless eyes, which had searched the scrip
lures of Him, who had said unto the tempest.
"Peace, be still 4" of consciousness that had
come of lingering footsteps at her door, and
the suggested idea that possibly daughter was
seeking comfort and companionship.
Her name, Christana," had been spoken /;
whereupon, the steps had receded in haste, and
the mothers eyes had only been assured Of her
presence by the hutterng of her robe, as it swept
across the outer Threshold. 5.
Down, into the darkness and storm of the night,
she had followed, crying, Christana, Christiana"
but without response.
One glimpse she had had of her "ewe lamb ~
it was as it passed athwart the long gleam of
light, shed from her mid night lamp Of prayer, and
then was lost in shadow-lost, alas to her. in the
shadow of supposed guilt, and certain deserton Of
duty.
Her voice struck silent by the fearful thought,
the widow had borne to her strained ears through
the rush of wind and rain, the quick rattle Of
wheels, and then conviction setting deep that she
was abandoned of fllia love, she had tottered home
to lie senseless till the morn-then to wake and
know, it was not horrid vision conjured of the
night, but too bard reality.
Public rumor soon coupled the names of Christ
lana and Richard Couyngsby.
But why2 Had he not taken honorable leave
before her disappearance from our midst.
None would tell from what source the thought
had had its origin.
Under its fatal influence one fral lily bud dropped
its head, nor waited for the soft breath Of spring
to warm it to new fe but fell to earth, and lay at
rest on her peaceful bosom.
Gentle Abbie, as the world said, succumbed to
rapidly developed disease which had come an in.
heritance from the young mother who had slept so
many years in a consumptiyeis grave.
Be that as it may, the keen pang which comes Of
love betrayed struck the first blow at the roots of
her life.

With the morning, change had come. The
steellike brllliancy of the sky gone, and in its
| place were dull, leaden Clouds A decided abate-
ment Of temperature had deprived the atmosphere
of its bracng, exhilarating effect, and the mental
barometer fell down to zero under the depressing
influence.
Rain, and consequent thaw, was impending.
Christiana, who had remained to assist the young
mistress in restoring order to her disordered house,

garments which Abbie desired for her approaching
visit to the city, and to which she imagined the

She did not observe that the sky was overcast,
or the day was sullen, for, selfcentered, she was
