And now thew can't hear from Marina
dnLa or BesseyD-Lady Rowley's name
was Bsssey eth the beginning of Sep
tember."
''But what can my brother say to
them He will suppose that they are
still down in Devonshire."
"You don't think he viii come at
once"
Chow can he, nay dear' He can't
come without leave, and the expense
would be ruinous. They would stop his
pay, and there would be all manner of
evils. He is to come in the spring,
and they must stay here till he
comes" The parson of st. Diddulphs
sighed and groaned. Wonld it not
have been almost better that he
should have put his pride in his peck
ct, and have consented to take MI
Trevelyan's money!
On the second morning Hugh stan
bury ealled,at the parsonage, and was
closeted for a while with the par
son. Nora had heard his voice
in the passage, and every one IN Inc
house knew who it was that was talK-
ing to Mr.. Clubhouse, in the little back
prior that was called study. Nora was
full of anxiety. Would he ask to see
them.-to see herr And why was he
there so long! "No doubt he has
brought a message from Mr.. Trevel-
van" said her sister. II dare say he
we'll send word that l ought not to have
come to my uncle's house" Then, at
last, both Mr.. Clubhouse and Hugh Stan
bury came into the room in which they
were all sitting. The greetings were
cold and unsatisfactory, and Nora bare
" allowed Hugh to touch the tips OF her
fingers. She was very angry with him,
and vet she knew that her anger was
torether unreasonable. That he had
caused her to refuse marriage that had
so much to attract her was not his sin,
NOT that; but that, having thus over.
powered her by his influence, he should
then have stopped. And yet Nora had
told herself twenty times that 1t was
quite impossible that she should be-
come Hugh Staabury's wife; and that,
were Hugh to ask her, it would become
her TO be indignant with him for daring
to make q proposition so outrageous.
And now she was sick at heart because
he did not speak to her!
He had, of course, come to st. Did
dulphs with message from Trevelyan,
and his secret was soon told to
them all. Trevelyan himself was
up stairs, in the saDded Parlor OF
the Full Moon public house, round the
corner. Mrs. Trevelyan, when she
heard this, clasped her hands and
bit her lips. What was he there
fort If he wanted to see her, why did
he not come boldly to the parsonage
But it soon appeared that he had no de-
sire to see his wife. 81 am to take
Louey, to him." said Hugh St.nbury,
"if you will allow me-"
"What, Ito be taken away from me-"
exclaimed the mother. But Hugh as
sured her that no such idea had beer
formed; that he would have concerned
himself in no such stratagem, and that
he would himself undertake to bring
the boy again within an hour. Emily
was, of course, anxious to be informed
what other message was to be conveyed
to her; but there was no other message,
no message either of love of instruc-
ton.
"Mr. Stanbury," said the parson, "has
left something in my hands for you."
This Something" was given over to her
as soon as Stanbury had left the house,
and consisted of checks for various
small sums, amounting in all TO E2OO.
'And he hasn't said what l am to do
with itT Emily asked of her uncle.
Mr.. Clubhouse declared that the checks
had been given to him without any in
structions on that head. Mr.. Trevelyan
had simply expressed his satisfaction
that his wife should be with her uncle
and aunt, had sent the money, and had
desired to see the child.
