SHOWING HOW THE QUARREL PRO-


SHOWING HOW HE QCAhhLL IhO-
CROSSED AGAIN.
On one Sunday morning, when the
month of May was nearly over, Hugh
Stanbury met Colonel Osborne in Cur
zou Street, not many yards from Ire
velyan's door. Colonel Osborne had just
come from the house, and Stanbury was
going to it. Hugh had not spoken TO
Osborne since the day, now fortnight
since, on which both of them had wit
messed the scene in the park; but on
that occasion they had been left rOgeth-
er, and it had been impossible for them
not to say few words about their mu
tual friends. Osborne had expressed his
sorrew that there should be any misun-
derstandiug, and had called Trevelyan
COMPOUNDED fool Stanbury had sug-
gested that there was something in 1t
which they two probably did not under
stand, ard that matters would be sure
to come all right. ''The truth is Trey-
elyan bullies her." said Osborne; "and
if he goes ON with that he'll be sure to
get the worst of it," Now,-on this pres
ent occasion, -Stanhury asked whether
he would fluid the ladies at home. YES,
they are both there" said Osborne
"Trevelyan has gone out in a huff.
She'll never he able to 20 on living
with him. Anybody can see that with
half an eye" Then he had passed on,
and Hugh Stanbury knocked at the
door
He was shown up into tha drawing
room, and fonnd both of the sisters
there; but he could see that Mrs. Ire
velyan had been in tears. The avowed
purpose of his visir-that is, the pur-
pose which he had avOwed TO himself
was to talk about his sister Dorothy. He
had told Miss ROwley, while walking in
the park with her, bow Dorothy had been
invited over 10 Exeter 10y her aunt, and
how he bad counseled his sister to ac-
cept the invitation. Nora had express
sed herself very interested as IL DorO-
thy's fate, and had said how much she
wished she knew Dorothy. We all uu-
derstand how sweet il is, when two
such persons as Hugh Stanbury and No
RI Rowley cannot speak of their love
for each other, to say these tender
things in regard TO some one else No
IA had been quite anxious TO know how
Dorothy had been received by that old
conservative warrior, as Hugh Stanbu-
~ had called his aunt, and Hugh had
now come to Curzon Street with "a let
ter from Dorothy in his pocket. But
when he saw that there had been some
cause for trouble, lie hardly knew how
TO introduce the subject
"Trevelyan is not at home :" he asked.
"No," said Emily, with her face turned
away. "He went out and left us a quar-
ter of an hour since. Did you meet Col
onel Osbornei"
II was speaking TO him in the street
not moment since" As he answered,
he could see that Nora was making
some sign to her sister. Nora was most
anxious that Emily should not speak of
what had just occurred, but her signs
were all thrown away.
Somebody must tell him." said Mrs
Trevelyan, "and don't know who can
do 50 better than 50 old friend as Mr..
Stanbury"
Tell what, and to whom ?" he asked
mo, no, no." said Nora.
Then must tell him myself" said
she, THAT is all AS for standing this
kind OF life it on of the question. |

Nobody can do any good between a
man and his wife" said Nora.
Then Mrs. Trevclyan had began 10 tell
her story, putting aside with an impa.
patient motion of her hands, the efforts
which her sister made 10 stop her. She
was very angry, and as she told it,
standing up, all trace of sobbing soon
disappeared from her voice. "The fact
is" she said, she does not know his
own mind. or what to fear or what not
to fear. He told me that never was
to see Colonel Osborne again"
"What is the use, Emily, of yoSr re-
peating that to Mr.. Stanbury ?"
"Why should not repeat iti Colo

mine too. He is man like very much,
who is real friend to me. As he is
