society. ! knew the love she bore hel
son. Let me here thank her once
more for what she did for me that day
She heard all my ~outpourings in S..
lence. l told her all, save two things
the name of the man who had de-
ceived my love, and the fate which
had o%vertaken him. l told her as
have told you, how 1 had loved-how
l loved Philippa; how l now dared to
hope that in time to come my love
would be rewarued. 1 prayed her to
take my poor girl to her heart, and
treat her as a daughter.
My mother heard me. Her sweet
face grew a shade paler. Her lips
quivered, and the tears stood in her
eyes. I knew all that was passing
through her mind. l knew how proud
she was of me, and what great things
she had hoped Ishould do in the world.
She was a woman, and, woman-like,
had counted upon her sons lettering
himself by marriage; but, in spite of
all this, 1 knew l was right in coun-
ting upon her aid. Once again my
sweet mother, l thank you.
She rose. "Let me see the woman
you love. Where is she? 1 will 60

me-"
She kissed my forehead. Bring her

to me. She had removed the stains Of
travel, and, although pale, looked the
perfection OF graceful beauty. 1 led
her to my mothers room. She stopped
short as she saw it was tenanted by a
lady. Aquick blush crossed her cheek.
"Philippa, Dearest" I said, this is
my mother. Ihave told her all, and
she is waiting to welcome you"
Still she stood m%otionless, save that
her head bent down and her bosom
heaved. My mother came to her side,
and placing her kind arms round her,
whispered some words which I neither
heard, nor tried to hear. Philipa grew
into astorm of sobs, and for some mo-
ments wept on my mothers shoulder.
Then she raised her head and looked
at me, and my heart leaped at the ex-
preston in her fearful eyes. Basil,
my brother, you arc too good to me?"
she eia"uiated.
My mother led EeI to the sofa, and,
with her arms still round her, sat
down by her side. 1 left them, know
ing that my love had now the ~truest,
noblest heart to sob against; the quick
est, most sympathetic ear to listen to
the tale of her w-ongs; and the ~softest,
kindest voice to soothe and console her.
All! how happy I should have felt,
could that n nights dark work have
been undone-could that white tomb
forever hold its ghastly secret!
