 Npboay decent came near the place. Even the curnte stopped calling. The only exeecfion was Mdkar Linton. wltB 0Arrae often Co see Miss Catherine.

Chtnsriiie stiiI tried to make him her companion but he recoiied from her giriish caressea with angry suspicion.
 One day he dlseovsred th&t Linton was to call, and demanded that shs turn him away. She refused. Linton arrived while they were quarrelink. end Heatheliff shufflsd out with a 6ufse. Catherine, in her anger, shook iittls HAfeton till he grew livid. When Linton tried to interfere she boxed his ears till they rang.
 Then she threw herself down on the floor and began to sob heArtbreakiD9- ly. The handsome young fellow, efira- son with indignation, had stepped to- ward the door to go. but at sight Of the pretty disheveled, grieving crea- ture his soft heart relented. He turned and stepped to her. Once he bent down the quarrel broke the outwords of his youthful tinlidity. He arose as the accepted lover of Catherine Earn shaw.
 That evening JIindidy EarnshAw came home ravius drunk. cursing all about him and threAtenine to kill his child Haretoh and send it's soul to per- dition. When he had reeled off to bed Cathertne sought Nelly Dean in the Kitchen and told her that she was going to Marry Edgar Linton. Hoh. Neliy." said she i've seen none like Edgar. And yet and yet. I've no busi- ness to marry him. If that wicked man in there had not brought Heathcliff 90 low I shouldn't have thought of 1t. But it would degrade me to marry Heatnciiff now. So he shall never know how I love him; and that not because ne's handsome. Nelly, but be- cause he's more myself than I am. Whatever our souls are made of his and mine are the earnes and Linton's Is as different from ours as moon beam from lishtAing or frost from nfs."
 while she was speaking fEsathciIff. who had been iyine unseen on Q sst- tie near the fire arose noiselessiy ana stole out Nelly Dean saw him and told Catherine what he had heard ana what she said. The girl jumped up at once and ran oeter him. She returned without having found him and went out again just as e great storm gathered. It was midnight when she came back and threw herseif on the settle, soaked through and shiverina. while wild soba sh ooix her.
 she was stiIl there when morning came and 1t was easy 70 see that she was not herself. She talked wildly and by the time the doctor arrived she was in ( delirium, from which she did not recover for many weeks. Old Mrs. Linton paid several visits to the house. while the girl ley in her fever and put things to rights. When she became convalescent she Insisted on taking her to Thufsheross Grange It was a fatal kindness for the Lintons. for both Mrs. and Mir. Linton caught the fever and died within a few days of each other.
 Miss Catherine came back saucler and more passionate and haughtier than ever. Heathcliff had never been heard from since the evening of the thunderstorm. She resented fiercely any aliuslon to him. From Hindley Earnshaw and his drunken companions she kept aloof, and as the doctor had warned everybody that she must not be crossed. she had her own way and everybody at home yielded before her fiery temper.
 Edgar Linton was infatuated. He believed himself the heppiest man alive when he led her to Gimmerton Chapel three years after his parent's death.
 She behaved better thah might have been expected after she was Installed in Thrusheross Grange as the mistress.
