"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-

Tom had been here. I have tele

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

Do you hear this, Mr. Allingham?

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

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

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.
