PereivAI overheard them where ne

he had been preparing in bis own mind
about being compelled 10 deny himself-
at least for the preseni-the pleasure Of
bis anticipated visit 10 wyndieote"
But the Squire would hardly hear him
out, and protested with so much good
natured cordiAlity that Captain Lansing
felt it would be better to yield than 10 eI'
lite comment by persisting in his deierm-
ination.
Accordingly . few days saw him IN
stalled in his new quarters at Wyndeote
about which time, his sister, Mrs Car
ruthers, became one Of Lady Milwood's
guests at Datcham, and drove over one
afternoon with her hostess to call on Mrs.
Breton.
1t happened that the cousins were alone
in the drawing-room. The ladies staying
in the house were all out walking ordriv-
ing. but Sibyl had been afraid to venture
out.
The warm days were over now, and the
time Of roses; the wailing autumn winds
nad stripped the woods, and fires were
burning cheerfully throughout the house.
Percival had been reading aloud 10 ST.

her visitors. The hand she held out to
hem was burning hot and shaking ike

Lady Milwood was full of her approach
ng theatricals. She had heard, she ex-
,lained, from Captain Lansing's sister Of
lis talent for that kind Of thing. They
were anxious to do a little French proUerbo
one of Octave Feuillets or Gondint's-
for Mrs. Livingstone, the pretty American
widow who was staying with them and
who was so very clever; but they had no
one at Datcham at all capable OF playing
with her. Would Captain Lansing come
to the rescue and support their pretty
New York start
Lady Milwood was afraid he would find
the daily rehearsals bore; but really
the distance-especially by rail-was SO
short, and they would be so very much
obliged.
Percival expressed his regrets. He
feared he could not promise to devote suf-
ficient time to study and rehearsal of the
part; he was naturally anxious-this with
a steady and somewhat naughty look at
Amaranth-to see as much as possible Of
his cousin during his stay at Wyndicote.
They had grown up together like brother
and sister. Sibyl had been his mothers
favorite child and devoted companion.
Lady Milwood looked with interest at
the beautiful frail young creature Of
whom he spoke, and who sat so silent
The kind woman thought she had never
seen so exquisite face, and wondered a
little at Mrs. Bretton's marked coldness to
Mrs. Car1uthers, who was such an inofen-
sive person; nor could she help being
struck by the simplicity of Sibyrs gown
of brown velveteen, which however set
off with as much effect as if it had been
studied, the coloring of her thick fair hair
and clear profile and her two great stars
of eyes.
"You seem exclaimed Percival hotly,
when the Datcham carriage had driven
away.
Sibyl sat with her hands clasped on her
knees looking wistfully at him. She hard
ly dared to speak. She could not bearto
think of his going away.

CHATTER XII.


Mrs. Carruthers was always finding her
way, after that first visit, from Datcham
to Wyndicote. She was imprudent enough
one day to read Percival little sisterly
lecture on his prolonged stay at the
Squire's house. He did not take it well.
He felt indeed that he had not deserved
aHy blame. There had not been q word
of explanation or of allusion to the past
between him and Sibyl. The poor thing
had attempted to stammer out some words
of self justification when they had been
first left alone; but he, startled and dis
tressed by the great change in her health
and looks, had refused to hear them. He
said to himself now that it was hard that
his own sister, who had little daughter
of her own, should suspect him of de-
sire to drag down from her high place in
the world and in his heart the one woman
he had ever loved.
Some hot words ensued.
II did not think you would mind my
speaking" said Mrs. Carruthers, calmly.
between brother and sister it ought not
to matter"

quoted Percival with rather dark look.
"'Le 6roit q etre tnsotent auec impunite'-
You are a good woman, dare say, ANA
ranth, after your lights; but, if you were
to live to be a hundred, you would never
understand such nature as Sibyrs, or as
mine, for that matter!'
The immediate result of Mrs. Carruth-
ers's interference was that Captain Lam
sing put off telling the Squire, as he had
intended to do that night, that business
would call him to London next day.
And day by day the cousins sat and read
land walked and talked together; and day
by day Mrs. Bretton's fair face grew sad
der and her forced smiles more heart
breaking to see.
"Unluckily," thought Amaranth one day
when she had been driving with Lady
Milwood, and they had passed Percival
and Sibyl in one of the dusty country
roads about Wyndicote, "other people as
well as will not trouble themselves about
Sibyrs NATURE but only about her actions.
don't pretend to understand sentiment; |;
but I am sure that Percival ought to go
away. really wonder that Mr.. Breton
can be so blnd!"
The young Squire appeared to be up to
his eyes in business from morning till
night. He had so long been compelled to
abandon the entire management of his es-
tate to others that it was natural that he
should enter upon his own reign with q
good deal Of enthusiasm; and there was
little doubt that he would soon be as ex-
pert as his agent in the art Of renewing
leases, buying and selling stock. or argu-
ing with tenant about improvements
and repairs. Then what with shooting,
| every day, and having lot of men on his
hands to entertain, he had not much time
left to spend with his wife.
Perhaps he took care that he should
not have too much time. Perhaps his fe-
verish desire for incessant action sprapg
from his dread Of acknowledging even to
himself the presence Of dull and gnaw-
ing anxiety that seemed to haunt him in
his waking hours.

The efforts being made by Senator
Kellogg and Congressman Darrall to
secure appropriations for placing locks
at the mouth of Bayou Plaquemine and
improving the water COURSES connecting
Wit, that stream elicit the warmest
comhle,ilatjon Of the Iber, lille South.
Our contemporary says:
Dr.. Darrall very correctly stated that the
locks at the head Of Bayou Plaquemine are
intended as low water mouth for Red
river and an outlet for the Attakapas and
all southwest Louisiana. These bills were
oil referred to the Committee on Commerce.
We feel confident that this committee will
report favorably, and that when the ques-
ton Of placing locks in the mouth of Bayou
Plaquemine comes up for final action,
supported by Senator Kellogg and DIR.
Darrall, it will become law. There is no
reason why it should not. It will insure
safe, rapid and permanent navigation to all
the country bordering on the Bayoue
Plaquemine and Crosse Tete, Atchafalaya
river, Bayou Teehe, and, in low water, Of
Red river.

1t was, take it all in all, q pleasant
scene.
Last night the first representation by
the Mystic Knights of Proteus was given
for the benefit of lovers Of the classics.
The Sea God was represented upon this
occasion, on the back of a flying dolphin,
the fish of changing colors, as sprin sine
from the crest Of a billow surging below.
Ra, the creator, as understood by the
Egyptians, was portrayed in the second
car the sun, a huge ball Of fire resting
in gondola, with those we'll known
emblems, the dog and owl, amid branch
es Of the sacred lotus, awakens the
earth with heavens warm vapors.
Paradise came next as an Eden of flowers
OF tropical growth a huge serpent lay
co'led around the entrance with lis
mouth open. Typhon with Horns above
him, i'll the act of striking down his
enemy, aud behind his warriors was the
tabled Phoenix with wings outstretelled,
holding an Egyptian King i'll his grasp.
The other cars represented job and
Athor, the moons father and mother !;
ISIS lamenting the disappearance or
death Of Osiris; Nilus, or the annual
innnlation Of the Nile, and the sacred
animals Of that great river. The feas.s
Of Mando, Pasht and the festival of Apis
were beautiful representations of artistic
skill. A young initiated priest who had
just undergone tue trying rites Of or,li-
