soLlLcQUy OF A BACHELOR.

To wed or not to wed that is the question
The sings and arrows of that blind
young archer,
Or fly to arms against host of troubles
And at the altar end them. To WOO, to
wed
No more; and by this step to say we end
The heartache and the thousand hopes
and fears

Devoutly to be wished. To WOO, to we'd
To wed-perchance repent--ay, there's
the rub;
For in that welded state, what woes may
come
When we have launched upon that untried
Must give us pause. There's the respect
That makes celibacy of so long life.
For who would bear the quips and jeers
Of his friends,
The husbands pity or the coquette's
scorn,
The vacant hearth. the solitary cell.
The unshared sorrow or the void within,
When he himself might his redemption
gain
With a fair damsel? Who would beauty
gain
To toll and piod over barren heath.
But that the dread of something yet be-
vond--
The undiscovered country-from whose

No bachelor returns-puzzles the will
And makes us rather bear the ills we have
Than fly to others that we know not Of!
Thus forethought doth make towards of

And thus the native hue of resolution

And numberless fi"tations, long pursued,
With this regard, their currents turn
away
And lose the name of marriage.

CHAPTER Nv.

The door was thrown open roughly, and
Mr. Edwin Crosmont, stalking in with the
amiable expression of an enraged bulldog,
stopped short on finding himself in the
presence of a stranger, and gave Arma.
thWaite an opportunity of noting well ev-
cry detail Of his personal appearance. He
was a man of about five feet nine inches
in height, so well built and erect that he
would have passed as handsome, in spite
of an lll-featured face, to which promi.
nent gray eyes. u short nose, and protrud-
ing lips gave canine cast, which was
| rendered more unprepossessing by an eX.
preston which, on this particular occa.
sion. was alternately morose and savage.
who's this!" he asked shortly, and in
the voice of a person who had been pre-.
pared for an unwelcome encounter and
meant to make himself as disagreeable as
he could over it. ''And where's Alma!
And what's this l hear about her going
out by herself at this time of night? It's
not proper; it's most improper, and
won't have it, and so she must under.
stand"
Armathwaite, who was watching him
steadily, making up his mind that this
was quite the most offensive brute he had
suddenly over young Mr.. Crosmont's face,
that the latter had recognized him, and
that the recognition had the effect OF
frightening him and calming him down.
Before the irate gentleman had had time
to do more than make half turn to.

with the expression Of superb contempt

assume with particular effect, he said,
coldly:
"You have forgotten to hear my name:
it is Francis Armathwaite. l am sorry
you should think my presence an intru.
sion. Mr.. Crosmont and Mrs. Crosmont
were kind enough to take pity upon q
traveller and a stranger. I deeply regret
that their generous hospitality should

| man.
He bowed and opened the door quickly,
but started on seeing Mrs. Crosmont, who
entered very quietly, glancing from him
to her husband as if she apprehended the
situation. Armathwaite, eagerly on the
alert to notice the demeanor towards each
other of this apparently ill-mated pair,
saw that the lady fixed upon her hus-
band look so eloquent with dignity,
pleading and wifely submission. that it
seemed revelation of noble depths in the
woman's character, and filled him. the
onlooker, with admiration and reverence.

band into the lake, if he doesn't look
out" he added in gruff comment to him
self, which was little embarrassing to
his hearer. There was a pause of few
seconds, during which Mr.. Crosmont re-
membered that he was speaking in para.
bles, and explained briefly, in his usual
abrupt manner: "Aly nephew is lord Kill
domains agent: he's a good boy enough,
but he gets his head little turned, up
at The Crags, between my lords conf.
dences on the one hand, and my iady's on
the other. In fact, the big house takes
the color out of the little one, you see.
l suppose it's natural enough, but it's a
pity; and one can't say word to him.
because, Of course, if one does it is all
zeal for his employers interests: and they
really have been very kind to him. Still,
it's a pity"
Armathwaite thought so, too, and felt
filled with compassion for the soft-eyed
wife, obliged, in the zenith of her beauty
and charm, to fall back upon the COM
partnership of a middle-aged relation of
her husband when she should have been
enjoying the devotion of the husband him.

which should show enough, but not too
mucn, or the sympathy he felt, when
sounds of a mans angry voice and mans
heavy tread were heard in the hall

mont, shortly.
Armathwaite rose to his feet, feeling
very uncomfortable. For he recognized
the voice as that of the man who had been
driving Lady Kildonan's sleigh when she
dropped her handkerchief. and whom,
from the livery he wore. he had taken for
the groom. Little as he knew of the du-
ties of an agent to Il country gentleman
Armathwaite felt certain that the wear.
ing of the latter's livery must be less than
optional, and he had an awkward con-
viction that he had been an undesired wit
ness of the fact that the pranks of Miss
Dighton and Master Ned had not ceased
when the former became Lady KDdonap
and the latter "agent to my lord"

Most Of US, at one time or another,

CHAPTER III.

. 1t was some moments before Frank
Armathwaite recovered enough self-pos-
session to try to thank the unknown lady
whose well-timed appearance had saved
him from drowning in the lake.
"You are on foot" she said. Her voice
was pleasant enough, but entirely human
and colloquial, the voice of young, we'll
bred woman.
II have come from Mereside, madam.
but minute ago lost my way. I can't
thank you enough for"
She interrupted him, lowering the Ian
tern she held. and with glance directing
him to turn back and walk with her.
''Yes, it was fortunate for you l was
there, certainly"
She said this in a low voice, as if talk
ing to herself. and Frank noticed that she
smiled at some thought which passed
through her own mind. Armathwaite
could only walk by her side in silence.
He scarcely dared to put questions to this
strange woman with weird, sad eyes, who,
after saving his life, seemed to have tax
en- possession of him body and soul, and
to deem II unnecessary to enlighten him
% to the disposal she meant to make of
either. They left the trees and the un.
even ground behind them-and, the wind
being now at their backs and the snow
therefore less binding, Armathwaite could
distinguish without much difficulty the
point at which they reached the level

She crossed it without further com.
AZ L l.
futile "Oh, indeed" and they began to
re-ascend the steep road on which he had
come to grief. One thing the young man
knew without asking: this mysterious lady
who had apparently been on the lookout
for human flotsam and jetsam on this bois-
ferrous night, came from the gloomy house
which had aroused his attention half an
hour before.
As he had expected. the lady, who seem.
ed to think further conversation supeeflu.
GUS, stopped before the heavy iron gates
and pulled the handle of long rusty
chain which hung beside them. This i'm.
mediately set jangling bell, the funereal
tones of which struck as great chill into
Armathwaite as if it had been the passing
bell for his own soul. The appearance
ct the door Of young maid servant who
seemed struck with amazement at the
spectacle before her, reused the lady from
her abstraction, while an old mastiff ran
dowH the steps and licked her hand. She
turned to the stranger and said very gra
cSously:
Are ron anxious to get to Branksome
tonight? You would hardly be able to SEX

AFmathwaite felt 20 certain that he had

CHAPTER II-(Continued.)

A few seconds later Armathwaite walk
ed slowly down the hill, watching the
lights in the shops and houses. He pro-
ceeded on in q pleasant sense of mingled
excitement and security. until he suddenly
became aware that the ground was rising.
A few PAGES further the ascent became
quite steep, and he could no longer doubt
that, in spite of the lookout he was keep
ing, he had done what he had been warned
not to do, and taken the higher road.
There was nothing for it but to go for
ward very carefully, and to be specially
cautious when the road began to dip again.
While still on the ascent, he passed vari-
GUS dwellings which, though he could see
nothing Of the buildings themselves but
an occasional light in the windows. he
judged from the gates and the tall snow
laden evergreens which formed screen
parallel with the road, to be villas and
ornamental cottages.
Just as, after few yards of particu-
larly steep ascent, the road took pretty
sharp turn to the left, long, lowbuilt
house, standing back only few feet from
the road, but on ground so much higher
as to give it an imposing appearance of
dignity. sprang quite suddenly into view.
He walked past, giving backward glance
at the dreary house, which interested him
and filed him with curiosity to know what
people lived there. The descent now be-
came very steep, and Armathwaite pro-
.ceeded with the greatest caution, peering
forward into the darkness, watching Gag
lerly for the junction with the coach road.
The snow was now falling in larger fakes
than ever, and just as he got on to more
level ground he slipped and fell into a
deep drift by the side of the road Arma-
ithwaite soon extricated himself, but the
tumble had made him lose his bearings,
and it was only by the direction of the
wind that he was able to fix with any GER
ltainty the course he was keeping. 1t
seemed to be growing darker. Then a
cracking on each side of him reused his
attention to the fact that he was among
sparsely scattered trees. and at the same
time the nnevenness of the ground told
him that he was off the road. He stopped
a moment, and proceeded a little way
ahead to reconnoiter. The ground was
growing more broken and more steep, but
he now perceived in front Of him a clump
tof snow-covered bushes, and behind that
something which he took for a high black
wall: he made straight for this wall with
rapid steps. and had reached the bushes,
when figure moved quickly out from be-
hind them. raised lantern high in the
air, and cried: "Stop!'
Armathwaite, with sharply drawn
breath. reeled backwards. horror-strucl
and bewildered. For. by tn eight of the
lantern, he saw that what he had taken
for wall was the dark water Of the lake,
into which moment later he would have
stumbled.
