THBMOltNING HERALD: SUNDAY, NOVEMBEK 24, 1889 ft URATE'S SOU RTS jH If. "I never knew anything so un-j fortunate !" cried Mrs. Smithby, I her plump, rosy fare now crimson I with vexation, her eyes tilling with tears that she dashed angrily away. "Things always go contrary with me. I hope I am as good a Chris tian as the wife of the rector of ThoriHislea ought to Ihj, and I wouldn't say this to any one but you, Mr. Allingham," she nodded at the tall, thin, gentlemanly young man who was listening sympathetically to her com plaints, "but I" do feel it hard Tery hard that the rector should le seized with one of bis old at tacks just now." "Is Mr. Smithhv worse than usual?" ueried Mr. Hmithbv's urate. "1 thought you said yes terday " That attack was passing oil'? Yes, and so it was, but he would eat that is he did not obey the doctor's injunctions, and the'result is a relapse." "But not a dangerous one, I hope?" and Lance Allinirham spoke with mcch cordiality, for though lie was overworked at Thorpelsea, and as ill-paid as urates often are, he had learned to like the jolly, generous, self-indulgent old gentleman who made him free of his excellent library, and treated him courteously and kindly on all points save that of in creasing his salarv. "No; Mr. Smithby is out of danger now," answered the lady, with a sigh of weariness, "but all night long, and untu an hour ago, lie was in agony, and I was not able to leave his Bide for a minute. Was that his bell? I must hurry i back. But just imagine in what a predicament his illness has placed me! I am expecting by the train now due my disstant relation Miss Paiston you have heard me sjcak fher? from San Francisco, and Lady Harrington, witli whom she has travelled to England; and it worries me dreadfully to think that they should find the house in dis order, their rooms not ready, the rector in the doctor's hands, and me half dead with worrv and fatigue!" Yes, Lance Allingham had heard but too often of Mrs. Smithby's distant yes Tery distant kinsfolk the Daistons. lie knew by con stant reiteration that at Mr. Daistcn's death, which took place year ago, his immense Californian proierty was divided between his son and daughter, the young lady's share amounting to so large a sum that the curate secretly believed Mrs. Smithby must liave exagger ated it. lie also knew that as soon as it was rumored that the young heir ess had expressed a wish to come to England, and make the ac quaintance of her deceased moth er's relations, Mrs. Smithby bad sent her a very pressing invitation. Neither could he shut his eyes to the fact that Miss Daiston 's would be hostess began to build castles in the air as soon as the invitation was accepted. The Reverend Josiah and Mrs. Smithby had one son, who was alternately their delight and tor ment. Thoughtless and extrava gant, handsome and merry, every one liked Tom Smithby, though his best friends sighed over his wasted abilities. "Nothing would stead v him like marriage," Mrs. Smithby averred ; and sh dreamed dreams of seeing him lead to the altar the heiress 01 of so many thousands, that her dear lorn s purse never need ne empty again. But, as usual, Tom was not at home when his presence would have been a real assistance to his mother, who clapped h-r hands to gether with an exclamation of dis may as she caught siht through the open uoor ot a fly, piled with luggage, coining from the direction of the railway station. "There they are! Lady Har rington and Miss Daiston, and a maid or two, no doubt, and nothing reaily for them. Dear, dear, what shall 1 do?" "Can I be of any use to yon?" asked Mr. Aliingriam again. The question reminded Mrs, Smithby of what, in her distress, he had forgotten. "How came it to slip my mem ory?" she ejaculated. "The rector is very anxious about the sermon he promised to preach next Sun day at the church parade of the benefit societies. He bade me tell you his notes for it are in his study table, and he shall feel immensely obliged if you will make a fair copy of them, and extend and annotate them to the best of your ability." Lance Allingham did not care for his task. Besides, he could not help knowing that the people of Thorpeslea would rather listen to his earnest, practical comments on some favorite text, than be sent to sleep with one of the rector's weighty, prosy discourses. But, then, how decline to oblige his clerical sujrior ? Moreover, Mr. Smithby's cali graphy was execrable, and took time to decipher. His curate, on whom the whole work of the parish devolved, had been too busy to go home to bis lodgings at lunch time, and was be ginning to feel cravings for that early dinner his landlady had promised to have ready for him at 6 o'clock. It wanted but twenty minutes to that hour, when the work of writing Mr. Smithby's ser mon was thrust uion him. He was just going to proiose that he should be allowed to lake the notes away and transcribe them at his leisure, when Mis. Smithhv caught hold of his arm. "Don't leave me! Where can Tom bo? You must help me to receive Lady Harrington, and then you c:t:i explain to her how 1 am .situated, while I make aciiuaini- iViee i mv voting cousin. 1 C '.iM have mahal'ed very well if Tom had been here. I have tele graphed for him, but " She paused, for the fly was at the door, but its only occupant proved to be a young woman as plain in attire "as she was in features. A sallow, sickly-looking girl, in a dowdy cap and travel stained ulster, under which she wore a gown of qnaker-gray, unre lieved by trimmings or ornaments of anv description. "Who is this?" gasied Mrs. Smithby. "Oh, I see it is one of the maids sent on with the lug- And taking her hand out of Mr. Allingham's arm. she went a step or two to meet the new-comer, who came up the step with a cage of love-birds dangling from her linger, and a King Charles' spaniel in her arms, reusing on the heap of wraps, of which Mr. Allingham quietly relieved her. "You are Lady Harrington's maid, I suppose," said brisk Mrs. Smithby. "Come in ! come in ! Is your lady far behind? And Miss Daiston, how has she borne the journey?" "I have a message for you from Lady Harrington," the" girl re plied, a tinge of color creeping into her pale cheeks. "She had started for Thorpeslea, when, at the first stopping place, a telegram recalled her to tow n. She had not time to write, as she had to return imme diately to iiv her nvideneo in some law suit ; but I am bidden to express her regrets, and hoies that in a day or two at the farthest she shall be et free, when she will come here directly." "Gone back to London and taken Miss Daiston with her, of course. Do you hear this, Mr. Allingham? iteauyitisa great renet to me. i it . To have guests in the house, and especially such guests, while Mr. Smithby is so ill, would have wor ried me to death. In a day or two he will be all right again, and then " She said no more, for Mr. Ailing ham touched her shoulder, and drew her attention to the girl who was leaning against a chair and looked as if she would faint. "I am tired, that is all," she contrived to falter. "We had rough passage, and I will go to the nearest hotel." But Mrs. Smtthby was too hos pitable, as well as well as too po litic to permit this. "Indeed, my good girl, you shall do no such thing, but stay where vou are until your mistress and Miss Daiston arrive. I am a bad sailor myself and can pity you. The servants shall make you as com fortable as thev can; but where they are, or which of them can be spared to look after you, I am sure I don't know." A moment of perplexity and then the curate was appealed to. "Do take this poor thing into your study; there is a lire there, and she will not be in vour wav ... ... . - wnue you are writing, i must go back to the rector; but will con trive to send her some tea short ly." A wav bustled Mrs. Smithby; and Lance, balf-amusod, half-an- noved at the duties that had been thrust on him, picked up the spaniel now insking aixmt ins feet, and opening the door of the study, invited the girl to follow him. He saw that she was shivering with fatigue and exhaustion, and rousing the smoldering coals into a blaze, he wheeled the rector's arm-chair close to the hearth, madi her seat herself in it, and stood over her until she had swallowed a couple of biscuits dipped in lh jHrt wine kept in a mall cupboard lor the reireslung of the rector's innerman as often as Ins stu.li. proved too much forhini. men j.ance Allingliam s.-t to work steadily at the blurred, il legible notes glancing up occasion ally to satisfy himself that hi charge was progressing favoraMy. Now that the sickly hue of her features was not so positively udy as he had at first considered her. Beautiful she never could he, hut she had a well-shaped mouth and chin, and the dark eves he some times found scrutinizing him closely were large, keen and intel ligent. An hour elapsed before the par- lor-iuaid brought in a tray, and an apology from the cook, who didn't know it was for Allingham, or she would have sent it up sooner. The curate knit his brows; hut as soon as Marianne flounced out of the room, the girl laughed a low, musical laugh. "Mrs. Smithby's servants do not approve my being made a parlor guest, I suppose, ami this is intend ed as a reminder that my place is the housekeeper's room or the kitchen. But I am not going to resent it by refusing what they have brought. May I oiler you a cup of tea, Mr. Allingham, or will you be generous, and give me one ? I am very thirsty." The curate thought of his long deferred dinner, and concluded that he should be justified in shar ing the scraps of cold meat and stale jam tarts that accompanied the tea equipage. His companion was reviving; she came to the table and did the hon ors as a matter of course, with a lady-like self-possession that pre vented any awkwarkness on either side. She could not eat. but sat sipping her tea and speaking rare ly, till her eyes fell upon an en graving on the wall, when she ut tered an exclamation of pleasure. "It is Lake Ihun! Lady Har rington has a chalet there, and we only left it for Paris a week ago. Have vou been in Switzerland, Mr. Alhnghain? "Once, soon after leaving col lege," he replied. "The glory of the sunset among the mountains ind the solemnity of the earlv mornings linger on mv memory still." Then they compared notes, and the conversation llowed on pleas antly. Whatever could he her j position in Lady Harrington's r:i':'j, this young stranger was well read, and her remarks on the j places she had visited were so original, and often witty, that Mr. Smithby's sermon lay unheeded till the door was thrown open with a bang and enter the rector's son. "Ha! Allingham, they told me I should find you here. What's the matter with the governor? Only the gout, as usual, is it?" "Mr. Smithby has been very ill this time." "Yes, but he's better," retorted Tom, who was not in his customary good humor. "And so there could have lieen no necessity for writing for me. 1 was having such a jolly time of it at Sir Ashton's " "Don't you think vour mother! needed the comfort of your pres ence?" he was gravely asked. "Bah ! she bad you at her elbow, and yon are worth a dozen of my scatter-brained self. 1 was only sent for to court the heiress, w hich I would have done with pleasure, for I am quite out at elbows " "Do you not see?" cried the urate, contriving at last to stop him, "do you not see that we are not alone?" "Hum! Ha! Oh! my lady's maid, isn't it? How do, my dear? You never repeat what you over hear do you? Pnrlez Francai, Allingham, I shall I go back to Sir Ashton's," he added in the lan gauge of our Gallic neighbors, "till Miss Monevbags arrives. Can you lend me a few sous? Do, there's a good fellow!" "Have you yet to learn, exclaim ed the curate, who was an excel lent linguist, "that the poor of your father's parish have every halfjieniiy I can spare from my salary ?" "Then it is a shame the pater doesn't raise it," said loin warm ly. "Fancy screwing a man down to such a paltry wage that he can not oblige a friend with a loan ! I'm quite sorry for you 'pon honor I am." "Don't preach, if you love me !" cried reckless Tom, with a grimace. "Ta, ta! You'll Hee me again as soon as the maiden fair and wealthy turns up." Away went Smithby junior and the curate returned to his task, but he could not resist glancing at his silent companion, who was now gathering her wraps together, pre paratory to retiring to the attic, which Marianne had not very courteously apprised her was ready for her. Her eyes met Mr. Allingham's, and there was a faint ripple of a smile playing about her lips as she spoke. "Mr. Tom Smithby is very frank in his revelations. I'erhaps I ought to have warned him that I can understand French." "It would have been only fair to both of us," said the curate, so seriously that she reddened. "True there is a certain awk wardness in proclaiming oneself to be the Miss Moneybags of a young man's observations." Lance Allingham started up: "Is it possible that you are " "Hillian Daiston? she said tranquilly. "Yes; and why not? Because I have not come with heat of drum, but in borrowd no, I cannot, sav plumes," and she laughed as she surveyed herself "but in clothes that do not to me." belong "You look mystified." Miss Daiston went on to say, as she saw the curate's perplexity, "so let me 'explain. When my friend Iady Harrington found herself obliged to go back to Indon, it was de cided that I should continue my journey. Soon after quitting the railway station over yonder, the man who drove me shouted a warning to a girl who was sitting with a baby in her arms, on the parapet of a bridge we had to cross. Imagine my horror when, as she scrambled down, she let go the in fant, and it rolled over and fell into the stream below. My own clothes became so wet and muddy in helping to rescue the little crea ture" the curate learned on the following day that Hillian Daiston had sprung out of the fly and boldly plunged into the swift little stream that was learing the child away "I was so wet and muddy that I thankfully accepted the loan of some dry garments from a cot tager till I could unpack my own." "I will fetch Mrs. Smithby; she ought to kno " "That she made a mistake in ac costing me as Lady Harrington's maul? It was a very natural one, and I prefer to let her continue iu it till to-morrow. Did I not hear her say that it would worry her dreadfully if she had to entertain visitors while her husband is so ill ?" The curate looked doubtful. "She would be very much dis pleased with me if I permitted you to be snubbed and neglected, and relegated to a back attic." ';ButifI wish it?" asked Miss Daiston, w ith an imperious gesture. "Be satisfied, Mr. Allingham, I will take care that no blame rests on you. An heiress, as jierhaps you are aware, is generally permit ted a licence not accorded to more unfortunate, or fortunate women." She offered him her hand as she added demurely : "When you come here to-morrow to finish deciphering those hierogliphics you may find me oien to conviction, but till then you must agree to let me have my own way." As the curate walked to his lodg ings he decided that he would be more honorable as well as more prudent to keep away from the rectory till Miss Daiston had pro claimed her identity; but that de termination was not allowed to pre vent his speaking to her when he found her wandering about the churchyard after early service; nor did he think it would be wrong to oiler to show her the best route through some lovely woods she ex pressed her intention oi exploring. 1 What an intelligent companion ! she proved herself! How merry!1 how imaiiV-cted! Would Tom Smithhy throw aside his many bad habits, and endeavor to become worthy of such a jewel? The curate sighed, and blamed himself for letting his thoughts j dwell on a subject that did not con cern him ; and when a message from Mrs. Smithby reminded him of the unfinished sermon, he was careful to go straight to the study as soon as he arrived at the rec tory. Was it his fault that, just as he was writing the last line, Hillian Daiston came into the room to search for a book ? Certainly that search, in which he assisted her, need not have last ed nearly an hour, nor was there any occasion for such new ac quaintances to become strangely confidential ; Lance speaking of his earlier days, when his parents were in easy circumstances, and the se ries of troubles that ended in death for them and poverty for their son ; while Hillian talked just as ten derly of the dear, good father she had lost a year ago, and the Cali fornia home in which her brother's bride now reigned queen and mis tress. "They would have had me stay with them," she went on to say, "hut 1 had grown restless, and longed to see the land where my father was born. By the way, Lady Harrington will be here to-morrow ; she is a dear, kind creature ; I hoie. you will like her, Mr. Allingham." "I am glad to hear she is expect ed so soon. It will put an end to a concealment shall I call it? which troubles me." Hillian Daiston laughed her mer ry laugh. "It has been great fun to have a Iieep at the other side of the shield. Forewarned, as you are aware, Mr. Allingham, is forearmed, and now I know in what sort of a light Mr. Tom Smithby regards the girl on whom his parents have pressed their invitations bo urgently, I am not likely to fall a victim to his fascinations, or his debts." But though Hillian Daiston spoke so ironically,' the next time the curate met her she was riding with Tom. and in such earnest conver sation with him that Iince Alling ham was in danger of being over looked. Although the heiress checked her horse and apologized very prettily, the curate went home to his lodg ings heavy hearted. He avoided the rectory, but could not help hearing that Lady Harrington was there and the Smithbys the rector was about again were vieing with each other in attentions to their wealthy kinswoman. But he could not decline an in vitation to dine at the rectory, nor resist the si tell of Ilillian's smile when she beckoned him to a seat beside her in the drawing-room. "I am going to London with my lady to-morrow," she said, "but 1 hope I shall revisit Thorieslea at some future time. Tom and I quite understand each other now," she added, "snd he is going out to Cali fornia to learn fanning under my brother." Lance Allingham's very lips grew w hite with pain. "Then I am exiected to con gratulate you, Miss Daiston," he said, as soon as he could speak. "On what?" she demanded. "On putting a young fellow who was ruining himself for want of something to do in the way of earn ing a comietency? You did not imagine that I was going to marry him? No, Mr. Allingham; If I ever do wed.it shall be with a man I can respect. One who will help me to spend my dearest father's bequest in doing gKd to my fellow creatures." Lady Harrington carried off the heiress to give her a ieep at Eng lish society, and a few weeks after tlieir departure, Lance Allingham also made a hurried journey to Ixjndon, for, to his intense surprise he found himself apiointcd to an excellent living on the outskirts of a busy manufacturing town. The patron of the living was Lord Harrington, and it was to Hillian Daiston he owed the prefer ment. She did not attempt to deny it when he gained admission to her presence, and blushing and trem bling not a little, Bhe rose from her writing-table to greet him. He intended to thank her grate fully, but not to forget that she was the mistress of thousands, and he still only a hard working clergy man, but somehow he forgot all scruples when Ilillian's hands flut tered in his clasp and her eyes met his. The next moment she was in his arms. She had found her fate, and he had won a heart worth having over that cup of tea in the rector's study. The heiress was a woman of discernment, and Lance Alling ham a fortunate man. Olnarnilns aa Casea re. "This was sometime a paradox," as Hamlet says.
