CHAPTER KIN.
Mr.. Coventry, relieved Off great ant
Immediate anxiety, could now turn bill
whole attention 10 Grace Garden; ant
she puzzled him. lie expected 10 seI
her come down beAmlng with aatlSiac'
tlon OF the great event OF last night
Instead OF that, she appeared late, with
cheeks rather pale, and signs Of trouble
under her fair eyes.
As the day wore on, she showed pos
Tive distress OF mind; irritable and de,
Jected by turns, and quite unable tC
settle to.anythinH.
Mr., Coventry, with all his skill, was
quite at fault. Ho could understand
her being In anxiety for news abou
LIttlei but why not relieve her anxiety
by sending a servant 10 inquire? Above
all. why this irritation this positive
suffering?
A mystery to him, there Is no reason
why " should be one to my readers
Grace Garden, for the first time In heI
life, was In the clutches OF flend, q
tOrturlng fiend, called jealousy,
The thought that another woman was
nursing Henry Little all this time dis
tracted her. II would have been such
heaven 10 her TO tend him, after those
cruel men had hurt him 30; but thai
pure Joy was given to another, and thai
/ other loved him, and could indulge
and show her love. Show Il? Why,
she had herselfopened bis eyes to Jael'a
love, and advised him 10 reward It..
And now she could do nothing 10 de.
iend herself. The very Improvement
In Henry's circumstances held her
back. She could not write 10 him and
say, Now I know you are Mr.. Raby's
nephew, that makes all the difference,
That would only give him fresh offence,
and misrepresent herself; for In truth
ahe had repented her letter long before
the relationship was discovered.
No: all she could do was 10 walt Til
Jael Dence came up, and then charge
her with some subtle message, that
might make Henry Little pause, II he
still loved her.
She detected Coventry watching her.
She fled directly TO her own room, and
there sat on thorns, waiting for her rival
TO comeiand give her an opportunity.
But afternoon came, and no Jael;
evening came, and no JRel.
'Ah y thought Grace, bitterly, she is
better employed than 10 come near me.
She Ia not a seli-sacrlficing fool like
me. When had the advantage, gave
1t up; now she has got It, she uses 1t
without mercy, decency or gratitude.
And that Ia the way to love. Obi II my
turn could but come agalnl But Il
never WILL
Having arrived at this conclusion,
she lay on tho couch In her own room,
and was thoroughly miserable.
She came down to dinner, and man
aged to take share In the conversation,
but was very langud; and Coventry
detected that she had BEEN crying.
After dinner, Knight brought In n
verbal message from Jnel to Mr.. Ieaby,
10 the effect that the young gentleman
was stiff and sore, and she had sent
Into Hlllsborough for DR.. Amboyne.
Quite right OF her. said the Squire.
You needn't look 80 alarmed, Grace;
there are no bones broken: and be Ia In
capital hands: he couldn't have a ten
derer nurse than that great strapping
lass, nor bettor doctor than my friend
and maniac Amboyue.'
Next morning, soon after break fast,
Raby addressed his guests as follows:
i was obliged to go into Marlborough
yesterday, and postpone the puriilca-
ton Of that sacred building. But l set
watch on II; and this day devote 10
a plous purpose: Pm going to un-Little
the church Of my foreiAthers; and you
can come with me, ifyou choose:' This
Invitation, however, WAS given In a
tone 30 gloomy, and 80 little cordial,
that Coventry, courtier-like, said In
reply, lie felt II would be painful
sight to his host, and the fewer witness
es the better. Rabv nodded assent and
seemed pleased. Not 30 Miss Garden.
She said: III that Is your feeling, you

Rsby; for Pm angry enough at

Before they got half way 10 the church
they were hailed from behind: and,
turning round, saw the hurley figure
OF DR.. Amboyne coming after them.
They waited for him and he came
up with them. He had heard the whole
business from Little, and was warm
In the praises OF his patient.
