see, since those days, and my eyes nave
opened to the wickedness of the world.
You call yourself Wilfrid's FRIEND and
/ tell you you are his greatest enemy.
He never used to bet, or gamble, nor
drink before he knew you. You are TAX
ing advantage of his unhappy position,
in being separated from his wife, to tempt
him On to all kinds of excuses. Lena is
a bad wife to him, it is true-a cold and
false and deceitful woman; but sba does
him less harm than you are doing. And
you say you cared for me! Why, Captain
Dorsay, though you trifled so cruelty with
my feelings when my eyes were blinded
to your many faults, would not--for the
sake of the memory Of the time when l
believed in you-treat dog of yours with
so little consideration as you treat my
brother"
The girl was crying now quietly to her
self, and Dorsay walked up and down
the room, smitten by the truth of her
words, and not knowing what to answer
to them. At last he stopped before her.
Have you anything more to say?" he
asked.
Eyes, if I thought you would listen"
81 will listen to every word. Say just
what you please, Rosie"
''Then, Captain Dorsay, if you ever
liked me, even a little, will you grant me
a favor?'
II will grant anything that is in my
power
"Will you leave Wilfrid alone for the
future? Will you go away somewhere,
and write and tell him it was all wrong,
and you mean to give it up-and ask him
to give it up, too?'
II WILL" he answered, firmly; II swear
it before heaven. l will leave England,
as you ask me to do; and l will not see Sir
Wilfrid again.
''How can I sufficiently thank your
she said through her tears. What can
do to show my gratitude?"
'"Think Of me sometimes, child, and as
kindly as you can. And if, at some fu-
ture day, when Ewell is once more safely
settled at Lambscote, he should invite me
down there, don't refuse me the right
hand of friendship"
''Indeed-indeed I will not" she an
swered, holding out her own; "for now l
shall really look upon you as my brothers
friend. And when will you leave town
tO-night!'
"How anxious you are to get rid Of
me!' he laughed mo, not tonight, but
certainly tomorrow Sleep in peace to-
morrow, Rosie, under the assurance that
the ocean rolls between u.s."
And with a farewell pressure Of her
hand he was gone.
