1t was evening. Iua large AMI sp :

liked up for a, orchestra. These were
he preparations for the brilal Of our
aeroine.-strange mockcry.
At length the conp.ay began t.

Of the tragedy in which unwittinglv he
was p'ayin, - very pro n;nen; part.
lie was fill we lby VI M'v'ray, ac-
companicd by the groom. Maj n Lind

Ills conduct ha Ing since vanished
Grati6ed triumph was written on every
feature Of his face. .
Mr. NJ ,ray was attirel with be-
coming elc3s,ce, tno,5i the guests
remarked that his dress was almost to
sad for Il we Ing 1t mi ,it, nle,l,
with eq,.l pr 'priety hive been w'rn at
. funeral. TIE lrcs., in fact, was n,
bad type Of Mr.. M'whr.y's feelings,
and perhaps, had b.en chosen on that
account. The truth was that, in Sc
cret he c,ul l. mt rec ,nsile himself t,
this union. Th ugh Kate herself, weep
ing on his bosom, h'l declare she was
ready to marry Mir Lindsay, an 1
tn ,ush Mrs. B.keley, herself deceived

m uneasy fear lest Kate ha consented
to this marriage only to save his life
Why else was she 8, pale? Why were
her spirits high in c,upsly, wai.e

what he cul not consent to, AMI but
for her, the age patri It, perhaps, woul |
have scorael to purchase it on any
terms.
As We have sal |, therefore, a secret
filled M. M,wbray's
heart withs laess. S 'mething seem
ell to whisper t, hin that twas Mt yet
too late to draw ba;k. He seemel, in
deed like one going to the scaff'l', rath- /
er than like the parent Of a hri.le.
