Then was Bozzle conquered; and as ne

had sinued against all the rules OF his

innate line of his profession AS long
as be confined himself to the getting up
offacts, nobody could threaten him with

learned to day. The clergyman OF 81;
DidduIph's, who had been represented
to him as a weak, foolish man, was any

don't suppose he expected to get any

returned to her boy, and Mr.. Clubhouse
went back to his papers.
1t was very hard upon him, Mr.. Out
house thopght,-Yery hard. He was
threatened with an action now, and
most probably would become subject to
one. Though he had been spirited
enough in presence of the enemy, he
was very much out of spirits at this
moment. Though he had admitted to
himself that his duty required him to
protect his wife's niece, he had never
taken the poor woman to his heart,
with a loving, generous feeling of
true guardianship. Though he would
not give up the child to Bozzle, he
thoroughly wiHhed that the child was
ont of his house. Though he called
Bozzle knave and Trevelyan a mad:
man, still he considered that Colo
mel Osborne was the chief sinner, and
that Emily Treyelyan had behaved
badly. He constantly repeated to him
self the old adage, that there was no
smoke without fire, and lamented the
misfortune that had brought him into
close relations with things and people
that were so little to his taste. He sat
for while, with pen in his hand, at
the miserable little substitute for a
library table which had been provided
for him, and strove to collect his
thoughts and go on with his work. But
the effort was in vain. BOzzle would
be there, presenting his document, and
Begging that the maid might be rung
for, in order that she might hear hin
called q knave. And then he knew thai
on this very day his niece intended t
hand him money, which he could not
refuse. OF what use would it be to re
fuse it now, after it had been once
takeui As he could not write word
he rose aud went away to his wife.
"If this goes on much longer" said
be, 81 shall be in Bedlam."
"My dear, don't speak of it in that
wayT
"That's all very well. l suppose l
ought to say | like it, There has been
a policeman here who is going to bring
an action against me-"
"a policeman ~
"Some one that her husband has
sent for the child"
"The boy must not be given up,
Oliphant"
tits all very we'll to say that, but l
suppose we must obey the law. The
parsonage of st. Diddulph's isn't a
castle in the Apennines. When it comes
to this. that a policeman is sent here to
fetch any mau's child and threatens me
with an action because / tell him to
leave my house, it is veryhard upon me,
seeing how very little I've had to dc
with it. It's all over the parish now
that my niece is kept here away from
her husband, aud that a lover comes 10
see her. This about the policeman will
be known now, of course. only say it
is hard That's all" The wife did all
that she could to comfort him, remind
ing HIM that Sir Marmaduke would be
home soon, and that then the burden
would be taken from his shoulders. But
she was forced to admit that it was very
hard.
