In the colira»» of time Uncle Joaeph atne a* wan arranged, and on the da; «Mowing Maddy and Guy rode dowu to me him, finding him a tali, powerfully w ilt man, retaining many vcatiges of nanly beauty, and fully warranting all Mrs. Markham had said in his praise. He •eemed perfectly gentle and harmless, though when Guy was announced as Mr. Remington, Maddy uoticed that in his teen black eyes there was for an instant t fiery gleam, but it quickly passed away, is he muttered: “ Much too voting; he was older than I ind I am over forty. It’s all right.” And the fiery eye grew soft and almost ileepy in its expression, as the poor luna tic turned next to Maddy, telling her low pretty she was. asking her If she »ere engaged, and bidding her to be care ful that her fiance was not more than a loxen years older than herself. I'ucle Joseph seemed to take to her frond the very first, following her from •oom to room, touching her fair aoft rbeeka smoothing her silken hair, telling ler Sarah's used to curl, asking if she mew where Sarah was, and finally cry- ng for her as a child cries for its nioth- •r, when at last she went away. Much »f this Maddy had repeated to Jessie, as n the twilight they sat together in the yarlor at Aikenside; and Jessie was not :he only listener, for with her face rest- ng on her hand, and her head bent esger- y forward, Agnes sat, so as not to lose a word of what Maddy was saying of I'ncle Joseph. The intelligence that he was •oming to the red cottage had been fol- owed with a series of headaches, so se- rere and protracted that Dr. Holbrook lad pronounced her really aick, and had >een unusually attentive. Anxiously the lad waited for the result of Maddy’a visit :o the poor lunatic, and her face was mlorless as marble as she heard him de- »cribed, while a faint sigh escaped her »hen Maddy told her what he had said of Sarah. Agnes was changed somewhat of late. She had grown more thoughtful and juiet, while her manner toward Maddy was not as haughty as formerly. Guy thought her improved, and thus was not »0 delighted as he would otherwise have seen, when, one day about two weeks liter Uncle Joseph's arrival at Honedale, the startled him by saving she thought it Dearly time for her to return to Boston f she meant to spend the winter there, ind asked what she should do with Jessie. Guy was not quite willing for Agnes : q leave him there alone, but when he mw that she was determined, he consent- id to her going, with the understanding that Jessie was to remain— a plan which Agnes did not opi>o*e, as a child so large ts Jessie might stand in the way of her |>eing as gay aa she meant to be in Bos ton. Jessie, too, when consulted, said »he would far rather stay at Aikenside; ind so one November morning, Agnes, wrapped in velvet and fnrs, kissed her little daughter, and bidding good-by to Maddy and the servants, left a neighbor hood which, singe Uncle Joseph was so aear, had become so intolerable that not iven the hope of winning the doctor could avail to keep h»r in it. Guy accompanied her to the city, won- iering why, when he used to like it so nuch, it now seemed dull and tiresome, >r why the society he had formerly enjoy ed failed to bring back the olden pleas ure he had experienced when a resident it Boston. After seeing Agnes settled in jne of the most fashionable boarding houses, he started for Aikenside. It was dark when he reached home, ind as the evening had closed in with a heavy rain, the house presented rather i cheerless appearance, particularly as, m consequence of Mrs. Noah’s not ex pecting him that day, no fires had been Kindled in the parlors, or in any room ex- ;ept the library. There a bright coal fire a as blazing in the grate, and thither Guy repaired, finding, as he had expected, Jos tle and her teacher. Not liking to in trude on Mr. Guy, of whom she still itood somewhat in awe, Maddy soon arose to leave, but Guy bade her sta y ; he thould be lonely without her, he said; and to bringing her work she sat down to lew, while Jessie looked over a book of prints, and Guy upon the lounge studied the face which, it seemed to him, grew sach day more and more beautiful. Then be talked with her of book«, and the les ions which were to be resumed on the morrow, watching Maddy as her bright ‘ace si>arkled and glowed with excitement. Ihen he questioned her of her father’s family, feeling a strange sense of satis faction in knowing that the Clydes were aot a race of whos- blood anyone need be ishamed ; and Maddy was more like them, he was sure, than like the Markhams, and Guy shivered a little as he recalled the peculiar dialect of Mr. and Mrs. Markham, and remembered that they were Maddy’s grandparents. . Not that it was mything to him. Oh, no! Only as an inmate of his family he felt Interested in her, more so perhaps than young men were apt to be interested in their sister's governess. Had Guy then been asked the question, le would, in all probability, hare acknowl edged that in his heart there was a feel ing of superiority to Maddy C lyde; that the was not quite the equal of A ¡ken- tide's heir, nor yet of Lucy Atherstone.

In the becoming crimson merino which he really and Jessie nominally had given her. she eat before him, with the firelight falling on her hair and making shadows on her sunny face. It did not take long for the people of Sonunervllle to hear that Guy iteming ton had actually turned schoolmaster, having In his library for two hours or more each day Jessie's little girl governess — people wondering, as people will, where it would eud, and if it could be possible that the haughty Guy had forgotten his English Lucy aud gone to educating a wife. The doctor, to whom these remark* were sometimes made, silently gnashed his teeth, then said savagely that “ if Guy chose to teach Maddy Clyde, he did not see whose business it was,” and then rode over to Aikenside to see the teaeber and pupil, half hoping that Guy would soon tire of hia project and give It up. But <»uy grew more and more pleased with his employment, until, at last, from giving Maddy two hours of hia time, he came to give her four, esteeming them the pleasantest of the whole twenty-four. Guy »as proud of Madd.Cs improvement, prais ing her often to the doctor, who also mar veled at the rapid development of her mind and the progress she mads, grasp ing a knotty point almost before it was explained, and retaining with wonderful tenacity what she learned. It mattered nothing to Guy that neigh bors gossiped; there were none familiar enough to tell him what was said, except the do-tor or Mrs. Noah ; and so he heard few of the remarks made so frequently. As in Honedale, so in Sommerville, Maddy was a favorite, and those who interested themselves most in the mstter said Mr. Guy might perhaps be educating his own wife, and insinuating that it would ho a great “come up” for Grandfather Mark ham's child. But Maddy never dreamed of such a thing, and kept on her pleasant way, reciting every day to Guy and go ing every Wednesday to the red cottage, »•hither, after the first visit to Unci* Joseph, Guy never accompanied her. Jes sie, on the contrary, went often to Hone dale, where one at least always greeted her coming, stealing up closely to her, » hispering softly : "Daisy is come again.” From the first Uncle Joseph had taken to Jessie, calling her Sarah for a while, and then changing the name to “ I>aisy”— "Daisy Mortimer, his* little girl," he per sisted in calling her, watching from his window for her coining, and cry i^ when ever Maddy appeared without m*r. At first Agnes, from her city home, forbade Jessie’s going so often to see a lunatic; but when Jessie described the poor, crazy man's delight at sight of her, telling bow quiet and happy he seemed if he could but lay his hand on hjr head, or touch her hair, she withdrew her restrictions, and, as if moved to an unwonted burst of tenderness, wrote to her daughter: “ Com fort that crazy man all you can; he needs it so much.” A few weeks after there came another letter from Agnes, but this thn.* it was to Guy, and its contents darkened his hand some face with anger and vexation. In cidentally Agnes had heard the gossip, and written it to Guy, adding in conclu sion : “ Of course I know it is not true, for even if there were no Lucy Ather stone, you, of all men, would not stoop to Maddy Clyde. I do not presume to ad vise, but I will say this, that now she is growing a young lady, folks will keep on talking so long as you keep her there in the house; and it's hardly fair toward Lucy.” This was what knotted up Guy’s fore head and made him, as Jessie said, “ real cross for once.” Somehow, he fancied, latterly, that the doctor did not like Maddy’s being there, while even Mrs. Noah managed to keep her out of his way as soon as the lessons were ended.' What did they mean? why did they presume to interfere with him? He’d know, at all events; and summoning Mrs. Noah to his presence, he read that part of Agnes’ let ter pertaining to Maddy, and then asked what it meant. “ It means this, that folks are in a con stant worry for fear you’ll fall in love with Maddy.” “ I fall in love with that child!” Guy repeated, laughing at the idea, and forget ting that he had long since accused the doctor of that very thing. “ Y e s , you,” returned Mrs. Noah, “and 'tain’t strange they do. Maddy is not a chilil; she's nearer sixteen than fifteen, is almost a young lad y; and if you’ll ex cuse my boldness. I must say I ain’t any too well pleased with the goin’s-on my self; not that I don't like the girl, for I do, and I don’t blame her an atom. She’s as innocent as a new-born babe, and I hope she’ll always stay so; but you, Mr. Guy, you now tell me honest— do you think as much of Lucy Atherstone as you used to, before you took up school keep- in'?” Guy did not like to be interfered with, and naturally high-spirited, he at first flew into a passion, declaring that he would not have folks meddling with him, that he thought of Lucy Atherstone all the time, and he did not know what more he could do; that ’twas a pity if a man could not enjoy himself in his own way, providing that way were harmless, that he’d never spent so happy a winter as the la st; that----- ’’ Here Mrs. Noah interrupted him w ith : “That's it, the very It; you want nothing Æ vers PASS THIS AROUND ^ ¡y riip ^ p ig s E t ix i r ^ jc V n i i a g irrp tlo n to th a CALIFORNIA K ale.
