httle fellow of twelve years, was the very embodiment of goodness and manliness, thought. l sometimes met him in my sol tary rambles around the place, and he ever greeted me kindly, but noticed that strict watch was kept that we did not often see each other.
 Another circumstance that occurred each year of my stay at the Heights served to strengthen my opinion that for some good reason was an inmate of this autocratic household. The first year after my being installed there, was surprised to see ar rive at the gate carriage containing a large party who had evidently come to pass quite length of time at the Heights, for they brought considerable luggage with them. The master and mistress seemed very glad to see them, but also much sur prised, and afterward learned they were not expected for a few days. Among the company was an old gentleman whose hair was white as snow, but yet who looked hale and hearty. He was noble looking old man, with a fine, erect figure and pleasant address. Every one seemed to like him, I thought. But it was to the old lady, his wife, my heart warmed, though only caught a glimpse of her; but her lovely placid face beneath the white hair was one not likely to be soon forgotten. I felt as though I could have crept into the kind motherly arms and been sure they would welcome me warmly.
 "who are theym asked Maggie, who was in my room at the time of their arrival. ''The old lady and gentleman are Mir. and Mrs. Caledon," she replied, "they are, OF were, Mir. Phillips parents. They always come here for Q visit in June and bring their young relations with them, and a fine time they have, can tell you"
 did not doubt her words, as watched the merry, laughing party enter the house and proceed to make themselves at home in the spacious rooms. But that evening, greatly to my surprise, I was transferred to . farmhouse ten miles distant, where I re- mained for a month with no other company shan the stupid German housewife and her equally stupid husband. The reason as- signed for this was they needed my room. When returned again to Caledon the visitors were gone. Every year of my stay this was repeated. wondered but could find no clue as to why was thus banished.
 The reader must not imagine that had forgotten my friend Dudley, who had so kindly promised to return some day and look after my welfare, not by any means. His return was the one beacon toward which l was ever looking, hoping and planning. grew (foolish as the idea was) to love him, or the memory of him rather, in those days. Sometimes an awful haunt ing fear would come upon me that when he returned and saw Irma Barrett so beautiful and clever he would forget poor me, but this thought was too terrible to be endured and drove it away. He surely was my friend mine alone. The ClaytOns and Bar.

 Wondering what could havo happened to work such wondrous change, did as Mag gie commanded, and soon found myself in the parlor, welcomed by Miss Armund, who looked many years older than when had last seen her. She welcomed me kindly, however; made me sit by her, and asked me multitude of questions about my health, my studies, etc, all of which answered as well as could. was astonished at tho friendliness shown me by Mrs. Clayton and Irma, who treated me in every way as member of the family. began to think my troubles were ended; but, alas for human expectationsl
 Miss Armund stayed two days, during which time was shown every attention. At the end of that time Miss Armund took her leave, evidently well satisfied with the condition of affairs. She had not been gone an hour when was ignominiously showed back to my old place and there to remain until her next visit. But now saw that it was somo secret which concerned Mrs. Clayton's welfare that this woman held, and that accounted for my installment there. What this secret was 1 determined sooner or later to find out.

CHAPTER VI.

CHATTER VII
 Be kind enough, dear reader, to imagine Ave years have passed since l was first brought to Calcdon Heights. My life had varied very little one year from another. had attended school n great share of this time; my kind and gentle teacher had grown very dear to me in the three years she taught us in tho little white building among the trees, But nt the end of three years she was married to MT. Dayton, worthy young M. D., and he took her and her mother away with him to his home in the city. I shall never forget the terrible loneliness felt, when, on one bright morning in October, I went up to the little cottage to bid her good bye. Every thing was in confusion inside, for they were packing their goods, and I felt an added weight of sorrow in the sight of the desolation around; even the trees seemed to sigh mournfully, thought, as I went down the narrow gravel walk after a last fearful embrace from Mrs. Dayton, who had been my kiudest friend.
 l seemed quite alone now, for our next teacher was gentleman, and a most dis agreeable one at that; but learned rapidly under his tuition, and had the satisfaction of being called tho best scholar in school was now about fifteen years of age. In personal appearance was tall, with mod e~ately plump figure, brown eyes, pink cheeks ::.nd white, even teeth. My hair was brown and heavy, ana was my especlal pride, as it curled naturally and no one de nied me the privilege of curling it; always wore it so, in rippling curls, to my waist. Maggie and the other servants declared was pretty as picture, but I never be- lieved it, for knew, placed beside the radiant beauty of golden-haired Irma Bar rett, my few charms would sink into insig- nifcance. IrmR was now grown young lady and had been nt boarding school for two years. She was to enter society soon, was told.
 Irving was at college, but he did not par ticularly distinguish himself, the servants declared, who had heard Mir. and Mrs. Clay ton discussing the scrapes he succeeded in getting into. From the accounts I heard from him he was wild and reckless. But Bertie Clayton, now grown handsome
