CHAPTER X.-CoSrINuEp.


A fortnight crept slowly by, and
Michael neither wrote nor came. Olive
began TO fear that he was i'll, and would
have written line of inquiry il they
had parted less coldly. The suspense
was almost intolerable; but she did not
want to look like a victim, and she went
and came as usual, dressed as prettily
as ever, and wore her mask of cheerful
ness with unfinehing bravery. Her
sweetness and courage went straight to
the hearts of the Wakes. Mrs. Wake
was so stirred that she was lifted quite
out of her melancholy little self, and
astonished her husband by displaying
unwonted tact and wisdom. ...
Sunday afternoon came round again,
and the three were sitting in their par
lor upstairs, with doors and windows
wide open, trying to pretend that they
were not expecting anyone. Olive had
got large volume propped up on the
table before her, and turned its pages
although she could not read line. Sud-
denly the house bell rang loudly, as If
it had been pulled by an impatient
hand; and the sound drove all the color
out of Olives face. Mrs. Wake was off
the sofa with bound.
II will 60 and see who 1t is, +" she said,
and was gone in an instant.
Samuel and Olive sat in silence; they
could hear each other breathe. Heavy
steps were coming quickly upstairs,
and drowning Mrs. Wakes light tread.
A mans figure appeared In the door

Chase. You know what clever fellow
he has proved himself to be, and we all
think great deal of him."
There was dead silence for moment.
Thon Olive lifted her colorless face and
looked mournfully at Fenlake.
81 know it is all true" she said, in a
clear, sad voice; "he spoke of Miss Bat
tersby. Sometimes have felt that this
was coming. You were right about
him, Aaron; he has used us both badly
badly. But we will let him go his
way"
She looked from Aaron to Uncle Wake
and tried to smile, then put her hand up
to her forehead and went quickly away.
There was not much more said by the
three who remained in the room. Only
Samuel asked Fenlake whether he could
tell them anything about Miss Ratters'
by.
Nothing" Aaron replied, Except
that she must be good deal older than
the rascal she is going to marry.
have heard that Mr.. Edward is several
years younger than his sister"
When Aaron was gone Mrs. Wake
cried quietly for few seconds, and
then went to listen at Olives door. Nc
sound was heard and she returned to

her husband in sore distress. But he
soothed her, and said that they must
wait patiently until the girl came of her
own accord and sought their comfort.
And she did come, sooner than they
had thought to see her, and sat down
in her old place by Uncle Wakes side.
"Uncle," she said, softly, .''if you see
a letter addressed to me in Michaels
handwriting, will you promise to open
itP want you to read it before l do,
and stand by me when read it. l feel
too weak to suffer any more alone"
Not many days afterwards a letter
did come, and Samuel tore it open with
muttered word Of disgust. 1t was not
long letter, nor did Michael appear
to think that Olive would suffer much
through his faithlessness. He told her
that he had felt that there was want
Of union between them, and added that
he could not live happily with woman
who did not fully appreciate the efforts
he had made, and the success that he
had won. And then he finished with
the usual wishes for her future happi-
ness, and that was all.
Olive read the letter, standing by
Uncle Wakes side, held fast by his
kind arm. She put II back into his
hand and said that she did not wish TO
see it again.
Sand now must face my life," said
the girl TO herself

way, and the girl started up, trembling,
and went towards him; but it was not
Michael Chase. 1t was Aaron who stood
before her, looking so pale and wild that
she gave cry of fear.
"You have brought bad newsl" she
painted out SIS Michael i'll or dead?
What has happened to him2
"He is neither Ill nor dead" Aaron
answered.
And then she sank back into her seat
with long, sobbing sigh, and covered
her face with her hands.
Samuel Wake went up to his niece,
and drew her head gently down upon
his broad shoulder.
Speak out, Fenlake, " he said, hold
ing the trembling girl closely. "olive
will be we'll cared for, no matter what
may come. Don't be afraid, man: she
has brave heart, and it will be best TO
know the worst at once"
1.-THE worst is that Michael has proved
himself to be q scoundrel; black scoun-
drel," said Aaron, fercely. II brought
the tidings myself, because knew that
Olive would sooner hear them from me
than from stranger. Michael Chase
has offered himself to Miss Battersby,
and she has accepted him."
Olives head did not stir from It's rest
ing place, nor did she speak one word.
It was Samuel who asked sternly II
Aaron could prove that he had spoken
truth?
''If there had been the least doubt"
Aaron answered, II should not be here
now. 1t was Mr.. Edward Battersby
himself who told me Of the engagement.
Michael has got me turned away from
the works, and yesterday | was loaAng
about trying TO find something TO do,
when Mr.. Edward met me. He stopped
and said a few civil words, and prom
ised TO do what he could for me. And
then he said that there would be we'd
ding soon, and that must come TO the
dinner that he should provide for the
workmen. asked II II was his we'd
ding that was coming of. And he said:

kept brilliant which will warn off thou
sands Of ships from danger and minister
to the security Of myriads of lives.
Those who love and are loved are never
alone. These are all visible solitudes.
There are also inward solitudes. A
crowd is not company. There are many
whose contact makes no sympathetic
chord to vibrate in our hearts. Their
hands may press ours, but that indif-
ferent clasp touches nothing within our
spirits. There are voices and faces
which do not charm us even though
they vouchsafe us conventional words
and smiles of courtesy. Faces may
only be as gallery of pictures, and
voices only the hum of many sounds.
There is an important sense which
makes this inward solitude to be
specially felt in the crowded life of
great city. When William Wordsworth
came to London he was astounded that
people lived close 10 each other and
scarcely knew the names of their
neighbors, Charles Dickens said that
loneliness was as possible in the streets
of great city as in the desert OF
Arabia. The Latins have proverb,
"Magna civitas, magma solitude "a
great city, great solitude) Hence,
even we who live in busy hive of
workers and sufferers are not denied
the power to find and foster solitude.
] do not know IL more pathetic rehec-
tion than this, that we all live, even
as we must surely all die, in very real
and requisite solitude. The experience
of ages has never falsihed the word
spoken nearly three thousand years
ago; "The heart knoweth its own bit
terness, and stranger doth not inter
meddle with its joy" proverbs xiv, 1O).
A great saint once said that there is n
sense In which we must serve two mas
ters, for we all live two lives, an out

f "RouHD OUR RESTLESSHEss, HIS HEST
Day after day went by, and Olive
fought with all her might against that
indifference to all outward things
which is the bane of sick soul Day
after day voice within was always re-
-peating the dirge-lilse words: "You do
not care for anything, and you never
will care any more"
Uncle Wake proposed holiday in
the country; his wife had some rela-
tions living in Surrey village, and
Olive was sent TO stay with them for n
few days. They were kind, the air
was sweet, and woods and fields were
beautiful us of old, but comfort did
not come TO the sorely-tried heart. The
voice Of peace did not speak to her
here; she could hear only the echoes Of
the past, and think only of "thc touch
of the banished hand" IL did not
gladden. her now TO stand looking over
the stiles down the long meadows;
there was no hope in the sunbeams, no
promise in the whisper Of the grass.
Michael, the traitor, did not dwell in
her mind; he was banished by the mem
ory Of Michael the young lover. She
thought of him, in spite OF all reason, as
the hero she had first believed him to
be, and mourned for the ideal that she
had loved so long
II was a relief TO go back to the life
In London and take up her work just
where she had laid down. At home
she was very quiet, grateful for oil the
kindness that strove to deaden the con-
slant heartache; but those who watched
her could see plainly that her soul re-
fused comfort, and knew that the heal
ing hour had not yet come.
October was gliding away; but 1t was
a gentle, sunny octobep and autumn
faded slowly. And at last there came
a Sunday morning, so balmy and soft
that IL seemed to have wandered back
from the bygone summer. Olive went
out alone that morning, sad as ever but
with a vague desire for the sight Of
something green TO rest the eyes; and
she walked on, scarcely caring whittier.
The steeple Of st. Mary lie Strand rose
up into the blue haze Of the beautiful
day, and the great thoroughfare was
bright with tranquil sunshine. All at
once it occurred TO Olive that she would
90 to the Thames embanlkment and
look at the river; II would be pleasanter
walking there than in these busy ways.
And, with this thought in her weary
head, she turned suddenly into street
on her right hand--a narrow, stony lit
tie street which she had never entered
before.
She was still so much Of rustic that
