FOUR O'CLOCK IN THE MORNING.


Another week went by, aud Sir Mar
maduke had ever yet not surrender q.
He uuItr understood that Nora was not
To 20 back To the Islands. Aud had WIS.,
tied MIR. and Mrs. Clubhouse at - DID
dulphs in order To secure home for
her there, if it might lie possible. Mr..
Clubhouse did not refuse, but gave the
permission III such u fashion as TO make
it almost equal TO 4 refusal. He was,
he said, "much attached TO his niece
Nora, hut he had heard that there was O
love affair" Sir Marmaduke, of course,
could not deny Tue love affair. There
wa, certainly love affair of which lie
did not personally approve, as the
gentleman had 10 liked income, and, as
far Us he could understand, no fixed pro-
fession. "Such love affair."" thought
Mr.. Clubhouse, twas a sort of thing that
he didn't know how to manage at all. III
Nora came to him, was the young man
to visit at the house, or was he HOt =
Then Mrs. Clubhouse said something as
TO the necessity of an anti-Stanbury
pledge on NOra's part, and Sir MaIna-
duke found that that scheme must be
abandoned. Mrs. Trevelyan had writ.
ten from Florence more than once or
twice, aud in her last letter had said
that she would prefer not TO have Nora
with her. She was at that time living
in lodgings at Siena, and had her boy
there also. She saw her husband every
other day; but nevertheless, --accordiug
TO her statements, her visits to Casalun-
ga were made IN opposition to his
wishes. He had even expressed desire
that she should leave SIena and return
to England. He had once gone so far as
to say that If she would do so, he would
follow her. But she clearly did not be-
lieve him, and In all her letters spoke of
him as oae whom she could not regard
as being under the guidance of reason.
She had taken her Md with her once
or twice To the house, and on the first
occasion Trevelyau had made much of
his son, had wept over him, aud protested
that in losing him he had lost his only
treasure; but after that he had not
noticed the boy, and latterly she had
gone alene. She thought that perhaps
her visits cheered him, breaking the ill.,
tensity OF his solitude; but he never eX
pressed himself gratltied by them, never
asked her to remain at the house, never
returned with her into Siena, aud con
unually spoke of her return to Euglaud
a. step which must be taken soon,-|
and the sooner the better. lie intended

very fully how manifest was his wish
that she should 20, by the temptation
to do so which he thought that he held
out hy this promise. He had spoken.

him, OF Sir Marmaduke's ATTEMPT 10
prove him TO be a mailman; but declared
that he was afraid nf no Que in England,
and would face all the lawyers In Chan
Gerry Lane and all the doctors i'll Savile
Row. Nevertheless, so said Mrs. TIE
yelyan, he would undoubtedly remain

health, her account " him " AS very sad
"He seemed" she said, ITO be- ~itherlug
away. His haud was mere skin aud

his thin loug checks, that there was
nothing left Ut his face but his bright,
large, melancholy eyes. HIS legs bad
