"IfI were you" said he, In rather an Of
hand way, u would either forgive tht
man the ain into which his love has be
trayed him, or would try TO get divorce
This would cost money; but, II you dOn'
mind expense, I tllink l could suggest
way"
Grace interrupted him. "Fr0m whom
did you learn my misery, and his vlllainy'

And she rang the bell with look thai

Mr.. Bercsforl bowed, smiled bitterly,
and went back to Coventry, with whom
he had q curious interview, that ended In
Coventry lending him two hundred
pounds on his personal security. To dis.
pose Of Mr.. BcresEortl for tho present, j
will add that, soon after this, his zeal fol-
the poor subjected him TO an attront lie

tons. One Of the old EogicS, who dislikod
him, wrote letters to 7h6 Literal, and dc.
manded an account OF his receipts and OK.

called upon Doctor Fynes, and showed
him the letters, and confessed TO him that
he never kept any accounts, either Otpub-
lie or private expenditure. n can con-
strue AlNllOniuS RiOtliuS-with your AS

and usefulness were gone when once u
,sIur was thrown npon him. Then Doctor
Fynes gave him high testimonials, md
they parted with mutual regret
Il took Gracc a day 10 get over her In
terview with Mr.. Bcrcst6rd; and when
with Jacl's help she WIS calm again, she
received letter from Coventry, inditcd In
tones Of the deepest penitence, but re-
ninding her that he had offered her his
life, had made no resistance when she Of
fered 10 take 1t, and never would.
There was nothing in the letter that irri-
tatcd her; but she saw in II an attempt to
open a correspondence.
She wrote back: .........
"If you really repent your crimes, and
hive any true pity for the poor creature
whose happiness you have wrecked show
It by leaving this place, and ceasing all
communication with her"
This CALLED Coventry and he wrote back:
"WlIut, leave the coast clear to hlr.
Littleg No, Mira Coventry; no."
Grace made no reply, but great terror
seized her, and from that hour preyed con.
stantly on her mind, the fear that Covent-
ry and Little would meet, and tho man she
loved would do somO rash act, and per-
hans perish on the sCaft0ld for It
This was the dominant sentiment OF
her distracted heart, when one day, at
eleven a: NJ, came telegram from Liver
pool: .-. ~ 80 u q
AUST landed. Will bewith you by four.
: gn- "HENRY ITTTLE."
Jael found her shaking all over, with
this telegram in her hand. ..!" ....
"Thank God you are with me" she
gasped. "Lct me sec, him once moro, and
die"
This wus her first thought; but, all that
day, she was never in the same mind for
long together. She would burst out into
10y that he WINS really alive, md she
should sec his face once more. Then she
would cover with terror, and say she
dared not look him in tho face, she was
not worthy, Then she would ask wildly,
who was TO tell him? What would be-
come Of hinlS .H-.. No.. .n...,a
ut would break his heart or destroy his
reason" .......
"Aner all he had done and suffered for

Oh! why could Sllo not die before he
came9 Seeing her dead body, he would
forgive her. She should tell him she
loved him still, should always love him.
She would withhold no comfort. Per.
Inns he would kill her. IrsO, Jael must
manage so that he should not be taken up
Ur torlnented any more, for such a wretch
rs she was.
But / might as well try TO dissect

to describe oil the waves Of passion in that
iluctuating and agonized heart; the feel

awaited the lover she had list am
At last, Jael' DcnCe. though she was
also much agitated and pcrplexed, decided
on course Of action. Just before four
O'Clock, she took Once up stairs, md told
her she might SEQ him arrive, butshe must
not come down until she was sent for.
II shall SEQ him first, and tell him all;
aud, when he Is fit 10 see you, will Let
you know"
Grace submitted, md even consented TO
lie down for half hour. She was now,
In truth, scarcely able to stand, being worn
out with the mental struggle. She lay
passive. with Jael DenCe's hand In hers.
When she had lain so about an hour,
she started up suddenly, and the next
moment a fly stoDpGd at the door. Henry
Little got out ut tho gate and walked up
the gravel to the house.
Grace looked at him from behind the
curtain; ga1ed at him till he disappeared,
and then turned round, with seraphtc Joy

murmured; "more beautiful than ever
Oh misery miseryi, .
One moment her heart was warm with
rapture, the next It was cold with despair,
BIttho Joy was blind love; tue despair
was reason.
She waited, and waited, bnt no sum-

She could not deny herself the sound Of
his voice. She crcpt down tho stairs, and
