continued Sir Marmaduke; "but as she
has done so, and as perhaps the unfor.
tunate invalid himself may have allud-

for you"
"No doubt it was best, Sir Marina

was to be so. Trevelyan and L were
very intimate ut one time and it may be
that he will receive me without dis
pleasure"
There was much to be discussed, and
considerable difficulty in the discussion.
This was enchauced, too, by the feeling
in the minds of all of them that Hugh
and Sir Marmaduke would not meet
again-prcbably for mauy years. Were
they to part now on terms OF close at.

sanction her engagement IN the presence
of her lover. But she could not do 1t
before SO many persons, even though
the persons were her own nearest rela-

had taught himself to believe that

Hugh became red in the face, looked
angrI, aud muitered a word or two
about Trevelyan being the Oldest friend
he had in the wUrlu-'even if there
were nothing else" Sir Marmaduke
felt ashamed of himsrlf-without cause
indeed, for the offer was natural

The Bradshaw was had out and con.

spent IN porting over that wondrous

just as the tourist thinks that it may be
made, cannot be made pateut 10 him at
once without close research amidst
crowded figures. After much expert
ence We made bold to say that Bradshaw
knows more, and will divulge more in
quarter of an hour, of the properest
mode of getting from any cityin EuroPe
to any other city more than fifty miles
distant, than can be learned in that first
city in a single morning with the aid OF
q courier, a carriage, pair OF horses,
and all the temper that any ordinary
tourist possesses. The Bradshaw was
had out, and it was at last discovered
that nothing could be gained in the
Journey from London to Siena by start
ing in the morning. Intending as he
On tue road, Stanbury could not do bet
ter than leave London by the night mail
train, aud this he determined to do.
But when that was arranged, then came
the nature of his commission. What
was he 20 do No commission could be
given to him. A telegram should be
sent to Emily the next morning to say
that he was coming, and then he
would hurry on and take his orders from
her.
They were all in doubt, terribly in
doubt, whether the aggravated malady OF
which the tellegram spoke was malady
OF the mind or of the body. If of the
former nature, then the difficulty might
be very great indeed; and 1T would be
highly expedient that Stanbury should
have some one in Italy TO assist him. 1t
was Nora who suggested that he should
carry letter of introduction TO Mr..
SpaIding, and il was she who wrote it.
Sir Marmaduke had not foregathered
very closely with the English Minister,
and nothing was said of assistance that
should DO peculiarly British. Then, at
last, about three or four in the morn
ing came the moment for parting. Sir
Marmaduke had suggested that Stan
bury should dine with them on the next
day before he started, but Hugh had de-
clined, alleging that as the day was at
his command it must be devoted TO the
work of providing for mis- absence. In
truth, Sir Marmake had given the invi-
tation with surly voice, and Hugh,
though he was ready to so 10 the North
Pole for any others of the family, was
at the moment ill an aggressive mood OF
mind toward Sir MaTWaduke.

by the hand, and will write fully-to
you-immediately."
"God bless you, my dear friend said
Lady Rowley, crying.
GOOD night, Sir Marmaduke," said
Hugh.
Goodnight, Mr.. Stanbnry"

1t was necessary that Sir Marmaduke
