Perkins, becoming affectionate, and
holding out his hand, which John
clasped in hearty shake.

ing few whiffs at his pipe, and a sip
Of his punch. "Where does he go9

Perkins, "Whod have thought 1t
now? / never saw much of him. He
never came much to WestbOurne Grove;
but shouldn't have took him for that
sort"
"Ah, you see it's different now he has
come to his rights" explained John.
He'll have to go into Parliament, don't
you see? And those that 60 into Par
lament have to be learned out and
out"
"Of course,n Mr.. Perkins assented.
"Well, | must be toddling. My mis-
tress wasn't very well to-day"
Indeed! am sorry to hear it," said
John. "What was the matter?"
"Why, she seemed faint and all-over-
ish," Perkins returned. "Mr. Fancourt
seed her before he went to town this
morning, and he went and got her a
bottle Of stuff from the chemists, but
it hasn't done her no good yet"
I'm sorry she isn't WE'LL" John re-
peated. ''If my masters off again to-

and inquire

Perkins, not very intelligibly. as he
drained his glass.
When he rose to his feet, and found
it not very easy to keep on them, and
after John had handed him his hat, he
had considerable difficulty in fixing il
on his head. John took him under his
protection, and walked him off, moi
leaving him till he saw him safely il
bed in his own room over the cottage
stable.
John looked up at the windows of the
house as he passed out through tht
gate. A light was burning in the room
he knew to be Mrs. Lemont's.
"Poor wOmanl" John calculated
softly, as he fastened the gate; and theI
he walked quickly back to the inn, ant
was ready at his post when Fancour
returned.

opmion about decorating rne rooms.
When we went into the library We were
both 90 startled. There was hfe-slIed
portrait on one side Of the fireplace
which / should have taken for you.-
The likeness is something extraOrdi-
nary
Indeed Whose portrait was ity"
The portrait OF his unfortunate son,
Lord Alphingt0n said. i suppose he
meant his youngest son, who went away
to America," Bertha replied.
mo doubt, st. Lawrence assented;
and then there was pause. 1t was st.
Lawrence who spoke first.
You have no doubt heard what took
place between Mrs. Dalton and myself
the last time calledYn he said.
Something / heard, replied Bertha;
"but oh, Mr.. st. Lawrence, pray don't
think could believe anything that was
said"
The tone in which she unconsciously
spoke went straight to her companions
heart. He stopped, and, taking her two
hands in his, looked down into her face.
He felt them quiver with emotion; he
could not mistake the expression OF
those shy, pleading eyes.
"Berthal" he cried, as, still holding
her hands, he drew them to his breast.
"Minel Is it so? Am i indeed so
blessed?"
Yes said Bertha, softly-''yours, if
you will"
"Oh, nv love-my Lowell" he exclaim-
ed, drawing her to him altogether now,
| in rapture. as he caught the murmured
words. ''But think well of what you
are doing" he said, after an instant.
"Do you know that may never be able
| to take the name that rightfully belongs
| to me-never be able to clear myself
from suspicion-that may even be OBJ
| liged to go abroad again, hunted down,
though for no fault of miner"
"Oh, Eustace,n Bertha whispered, as
her head rested against his breast,
what is all that to me?"
"Then let what will come, care not
he exclaimed, as he clasped her close,
and, bending down his head, he pressed
long and fervent kiss on her lips.
How long they yet fingered neither
| could have said, but Bertha began at
length to be aware that time was pass
ing rapidly.
SWe ought to go in," she said; II am
sure it is getting very late."
Mrs. Dalton had missed her younger
daughter; supper was over and still she
had not appeared.
"Why, where in the world have you
been?" she asked, as Bertha at last
joined her. You have been overhead
ing yourself, l am sure-you look quite
flushed"
''Do L, mamma?" Bertha returned.
"Isn't it almost time to go homer"
THAT is Just as Lena likes" Mrs.
Dalton replied. 'If you don't get part
ners it is no reason why Lena's enjoy
ment should be cut short. You don't
know what congratulations l have had
tonight regarding the marriage she is
about to make. I have had proud
evening, assure you.n
st. Lawrence found an opportunity to
press Bertha's hand in saying good.
night, but he did not hand them down
to the carriage that awaited them, un.
willing to draw down any animadver-
sions upon Bertha until he had borne
the first brunt by making confession tc
Mrs. Dalton, and begging for reversal
of judgment.

CHAPTER XVII.

The day so full of excitement for
Lena, so full of happiness for Bertha,
proved busy day for Fancourt's con-
fidential man John. He had told
Perkins he would call at the cottage to
inquire after Mrs. Lemont; and this he
accordingly did after seeing his master
mount his horse.
II shall not be back till late," an
nounced Fancourt, as John stood at the
door of the inn to see him off.
"Very good, SIR" said John; 'per-
haps, sir, you wouldn't mind my run
ming up to town on little business of
my own?"
run to the deuce, if you like, only
be here when 1 come back" was. Fan
courts reply.
the habitual smile on his lips undis-
turbed.
With his hands in his pockets he
presently strolled down to the cottage.
Eliza, the maid-servant, opened the
door at his summons.
"How do you do, my dear?'' inquired
John. mo need to ask, though; you
look as blooming as the pink ribbons on
that pretty cap of yours"
la, Mr.. john" said Eliza, with a
smirk, what nonsense you do talk!
Won't you step in?"
"Not now, thanks" John replied;
''only Just called in to ask how your
mistress is this morning. Mr.. Perkins
said she was not very well yesterday"
mo more she was and no more she
is,n returned Eliza. "She was took very
faint and i'll after breakfast yesterday,
and she. amt no better"
HAS she seen doct0r?" John in

court says he don't think it's much"
"Ah!" said John. lis there anything
I can do for you in London? Amy
message to your sweetheart, for in
stancep"
la, what man you are, Mr.. John,
to be sure!' Eliza giggled. But wheth-
er she had any message did not trans
pire, as the colloquy was cut short by
the appearance Of Perkins, when Eliza
| retired to her own domain.
| Perkins looked mysterious. He came
forward on tip-toe, his finger on his
| lips, and winking one eye porten-
tuously.
"I've got ii" he said in a whisper; "it
coined this morning."
"What came this morning?" John
asked, with well-assumed air OF sur
prise.
"Why, a letter from that there Mr..
! Pierre" Perkins answered, looking
round as if afraid OF being overheard.
"I've got what you wanted. There it
is!'' As he spoke he drew out of his
pocket a crumpled piece of paper with
a name scrawled upon it.
"Oh, ah - yes -thankee-the post
mark, I see," John returned, in care
less tone as he took the paper. "Yes,
I remember. All right, Mr.. Perkins.
Sorry to hear your mistress is no better
this morning"
sNo, she's no better" said Perkins, a
little hurt that his communication had
been received with SO much indiffer-
"Well. I must be off," said John; 81

court said he'd come along last thing to.
night. He had to go up to town to-day,
he said"
"Ah, yes,' John rejoined. "Those
societies take up deal of time. Good
morning; take care OF yourself. Good
folk are scarce IN this world"
ssLet me alone" Perkins chuckled
"There's ne'er one as will come over
me in hurry he said, his broad per.
son filing up the doorway.

There was lively trade in steam
boats in Colfax last Tuesday. First
Mr.. c. H. Teal bought ont the one
fourth interest of Capt l.. j. Noel in
the steamer Lila, which now gives
Mr.. Teal three-fourths interest in
cur little Cane river packet. After
this transaction Capt. Noel and MIR.
Landry Charleville chartered the
steamer j. G. Rogers, for the purpose
Of running her in Cane river as an
opposition packet. Two hours later
Capt. Noel changed his mind and
sold his half interest in the charter
of the Rogers back to Mr. Jacob
Fritz, her owner. Messrs. Charlie
vile and FRITZ secured a partial load
and left this place for Natchitoches
on Wednesday morning, and may
now be counted on as an ''institu-
ton" in the Colfax and Cane river
trade. &
