 Then the two Miss Dashwoods jour-

 the party bound for Cleveland, as the
 place lay on his way to his own estate.
 All this time Colonel Brandon was pay

 though the deserted girl seemed not to

and when the coloners brother died the colonel had taken charge of her. This daughter had subsequently disappeared, and when Brandon had again found her he found her ruined woman-ruined by Willoughby.
 It was a letter announcing that his niece had been found, which he had re- ceived at Barton Park and which had caused his sudden departure for London. The letter had set for the villainy of Willoughby and the knowledge that his crime was discovered had caused his sud- den leaving of Barton and Marianne. Willoughby and the colonel had fought a duel, but as neither of them had been wounded the matter had been kept quiet. That Willoughby was utterly unworthy of her sister was now plain to Elinor. As for Marianne, although she was told of all of her former lover's villainy and Will loughby was cut by all their acquaint- ances, yet the poor girl had felt wounded to the quick, and, for considerable time she was confined to her bed. "Oh take me home," she would mourn, 'I came here for Willoughby's sake and now no one cares for me-
 Willoughby added to his cold-blooded villainy by writing a letter to Marianne saying that he was surprised that any thing he might have said or done had been construed by her as more than mere friendlness-his affection had long been engaged elsewhere. All the time that Elinor was consoling Marianne she had, that of her unrequited love for Edward Ferras.
 The Steele girls were in town, guests of the Middletons, and the John Dash- woods from Norland park had taken a house in town for the season. Mrs. Fer Ias had a town house and her sons were with her, so all the relations and friends were thrown together in society. Robert Ferras, the younger brother of Edward, was an affected, empty-headed coxcomb, wsosc self-esteem greatly contrasted with the almost excessive modesty of Edward And now one day there came the explosion of bombshell in the Fer ras horsehold. Mrs. Ferras, fearing that Edward was inclined to Elinor Dashwood, had been exceedingly rude to both Elinor and Marianne. while the sharpness and the wiles of Lucy Steele had so won over her that she had invited the two girls, Lucy and Anne, to leave the Middletons for a visit at her house.
 Lord, my dear Miss Dashwood, have you heard the news?'' cried Mrs. Jen- nings, bustling in. That young man F'erras, whom I used to joke you about, has been engaged. 1t seems, for years and years to Lucy Steele. And not 8 crature knew anything about 1t except poor Anne Well, Anne, who is we'll meaning creature, but no conjurer, popped 1t all cut when Mrs. Ferras was quietly seated at her carpet work. She fell into mysteries with such screams that they had to send for the doctor in haste, and she ordered the Steele girls to get out of the house upon the minute.
 If it had not been for the intercession of your brother she would not have al- lowed them time to pack their boxes. And when the news was told to your sister
