j Amy walked on into the park, AMI
reached . spot where . elump ef ash
trees partially hid the Dykeham chin
neys:' She wanted to be out Of sight
and sound Of the house below; to ret
away from al mer:ory Of those j.rriog
voices, with their calm decisions and
pblesmatie phtitudss. What did they
know about it, any Of them? What
did Jo'nna, who vas young, and ought
to know, feel in that dull, passive
heart Of hers?
s.: :"t1f you get i'll you'll have to be
eurfed." That was al they. cared for
her, any Of them. She did not COM
plain of that she did not want them
to care NOW. Only, when there vas
one who did care, Why. must they ret
their faces against him, and talk about
seeing the world 2. She wanted moth.
Ing more out Of the. world than had
been given her-one heart out of it oil
1or oef own.
A clock In the ungainly tower which
marked the Dykeham stables struck
ten, and she started up with . sudden
recollection that eleven was tho hour
for the Meet At Redford Bridge, and
she had told Carl she should be there.
And she had to got back to the house
aad dress.
(which I shall do," she reflected,
lin just ten minutes. l must % after
saying I should. He might be there"
She did not consider how very i'm
probable it was that the doctor would
have any time to spare for such . pur-
pose. She knew, indeed, IS = general
fact, that he was very busy hom morn
ing till night; but she did not apply
the kpow>edse in this case.
No one made any rom.rk when she
went down stairs dressed to 20 With
Lady Cresillon and Joanna. They
seemed to take it ~ matter Of eourse
that this little afair vas Of no cou,e-.
queqse,-a. tsias which would blow
ever and make no difference. The leas
said about it the better. ::
IF DR.. Seeker makes . formal sp-
plication to you," said Lady Crevillon,
''of course you will decidedly refuse
your consent"
Sir Francis bit his lip. He was
fond Of considering himself totally un-
biased by his wife, and dependent only
on his own judgment. He said, brief.
ly, u shall think about it. Too vio-
lent an opposition would bo as foolish
as compliance.
And the subject was dropped. He
rode down to the Meet beside his wife's
carriage, very silent the whole tune,
looking At Amy occasionally With some
faint stirring Of pity and sympathy
coming up from under the weight Of
years and going forth towards her.
This young doctor was . tiue, generous
fellow there could be no doabt about
that; and then hs came of good
family. As to his generosity, ask the
starving poor, who huddled together in
the back.sluus, and alleys Of Redford.
As a magistrate, aud chairman Of the
Board Of Guardians At the Redford
Union, Sir Francis knew q little more
Of these miserable paupers than his wife
did, aud Of the doctor who never re-
fused to help them, and never asked .
fee from those who could not afford to
give it. =. :>..f5, ;...~ ~ ii"
Did Amy really care vsry much for
Tin 2. Would it hurt her to give him
up! Did she care as much ,s be, the
b,ronet, had cared years ago, when
