It srss a sore trial for Maddjr to write
to Lacy Atherstooe, bat she « f m d no
remonstrance, and so accompanying the
picture was a little note, filled mostly
with praleee of Mr. Guy, and which
would he very gratifying to the unsus­
pecting Lucy.
* Now that it fully decided for Jessie to
go with Maddy, her lemons were expend­
ed, and Aikenside for the time bell g was
turned into a vast dressmaking establish­
ment. With his usual generosity G ut
had given Agnes permission to drat ’
upon his purse for whatever was • seder,
either for herself or Jessie, with the del •

/
" I t will not be necessary," he said, "fo r
you to enlighten the citisene of New York
with regard to Maddy's position. She
goes there aa Jessie's equal, and her
wardrobe must be suitable.”
No one could live long with Maddy
Clyde without becoming interested in her,
and in spite of herself Agnes' dislike was
wearing away, particularly as o f late she
had seen no signs of special attention on
the doctor’s pari. He had gotten over
kia weakness, she thought, and so waa
very gracious toward Maddy, who, nat­
urally forgiving, began to like her .better
than she had ever dreamed it possible for
her to like so proud and haughty a worn-

anxious to know something more than
hearsay about a person to whose care his
child waa to be partially intrusted. Agues
waa in her room when told who wanted
to see her. Starting quickly, she turned
ao deadly white that Maddy, who brought
the message, flew to her side, asking in
^much alarm what waa the matter.
"Only a little faint. It will soon pass
off," Agnes said, and then, dismissing
Maddy, she tried to compose herself suffi­
ciently to pass the ordeal she so much
dreaded, and from which there waa no
possible escape.
Thirteen years! Had they changed her
past recognition T She hoped, she believed
an, and yet, never in her life had Agnes
Remington's heart beaten with so much
terror and apprritension as when she en­
tered the reception room where Guy sat
talking with tha infirm old man ahe re­
membered ao- well. His snowy hair waa
parted just the same aa ever, but the
asiM blue eye was dimmer, and it rooted
on her with ao suspicious glance, as, par­
tially reassured, she glided acroas the
threshold, and bowed civilly when Guy
presented her.
A little anxious as to how her grand­
father would acquit himself, Maddy sat
by, wondering why Agnes appeared ao ill
at ease; sad why her grandsire started
sometimes at the sound of her voice, and
looked earnestly at her. >
“ W e’ ve never met before to my knowl­
edge, young woman," he said once to Ag­
nes, "hut you are mighty like somebody,
and your voice, when you talk low, keeps
maltin' me jump aa if I ’d beard it sum’ers
or other."
A fter that Agnes spoke in elevated
tomes, aa if she thought hhn deaf, and
the mystified look of wonder did not re­
t a i l to hi» face. Numerous were the
charges he gave to Agnes concerning
Maddy, bidding her be watchful of his
child; then, aa he arose to go, he laid
his trembling hand on her head and said
solemnly: "You are young yet, lady, and
those may be a long life before you. God
blase you, then, and prosper you in pro­
portion aa you are kind to Maddy. I ’ve
nothing to give you nor Mr. Guy for your
goodness only my prayers, and them yon
have every day. W e all pray for yon,
lady, Joseph and all, though I doubt me
ho knows much the meaning of what he
“ Who, sir? What did you say?” and
Agnes’ face waa scarlet, as grandpa re­
plied : “ Joseph, our unfortunate boy;
Maddy must have told you, the one who'a
taken such a shine to Jeeaie. From the
corner where he .sits ao much I can hear
Urn whispering by the hour, sometimes of
folks he used te know, and then of yen,
who we call madam. He says ter ten
minutes on ths stretch: ‘Cod bless the
madam— the madam— the madam ? You’re
sick, lady; talk is ’ about him makes yon
faint,” grandpa added, hastily, as Agnes
turned white as the dress she wore.
“ No— oh, no, I ’m better now," Agnes
gasped, bowing him to the door with a
feeling that she could breathe no longer
In hie presence.
He did not hear her faint cry of bitter,
bitter remorse, as he wslked through tt«e
hall, nor know she watched him aa he
went slowly down the walk, stopping
often to admire the fair blossoms which
Maddy did not feel at liberty to pick.
“ He loved flowers,” Agnes whispered,
as her better nature prevailed over every
other feeling, and, starting eagerly for­
ward, she ran after the old man, who,
surprised at her evident haste, waited a
little anxiously for her to speak. It waa
rather difficult to do so with Maddy’s in­
quiring eyes upon her, but Agnes man­
aged at last to say:
“ Does that man like flower*— the ooe
who prays for the madam?"
“ Yes, be used to years ago," grandpa
replied; and, bending down, Agnes began
te pick and arrange into a most tasteful
bouquet tbe blossoms and boda of May,
growing so profusely within the borders.
“ Take them te him, will you?" and bar
hand shook aa she passed to Grandpa
Markham the gift Which would thrill
poor Joseph with a strongs delight, mak­
ing hhn bold converse a while with tbe
unseea presence which he called "riie,”
and then whisper blessings on ths mad­
am's head.
Three days after this, a party o f four
l«Lt Aikenside. which presented a most
for.wra and cheerless appearance to the
pass vs-hy, who were glad almost os tha
ea life of solitude and lonellneaa, with
nothing in particular to interest him, ex­
cept his hooks and the letters he wrote
to Lucy; unless. Indeed, It were thorn he
was going to write to Maddy, who, with
Jessie, had promised to become his cor­
respondent. Nothing hat those and the
picture— the doctor’s picture— the one de­
signed expressly for him, and which trou­
bled him greatly. Believing that he had
fully intended it for the doctor, Guy felt
aa If it were. In a measure, stolen prop­
erty, and this made hlm prias it all the
more.
Now that Maddy was away Guy miss
ed her terribly, wondering how b* had
ever lived without her, and sometimes
working himself into a violent passion
against tbs meddlesome neighbors who
would not let her remain with Mm
gone, did not« stop their talking one whit.
O f this last, however, he was ignorant,
as there was no one to tell him how peo­
ple marveled more than ever, feeling con­
fident that he waa educating his own wife.
and making sundry hateful remarks aa to
what he intended doing with her re-
istioos. Guy only knew that he waa very
lonely, that Lucy’s letters seemed insipid,
that eves the doctor failed to interest
him aa of old, and that his greatest com­
fort was in looking at the bright young
face which seemed to
ille so truthfully^

The ta n n e r vacation had been spent
by the Remingtons and Maddy at the
absent from home, she did not meet him
at all.« Consequently, ha had not seen
her since ah* left Aikenside for New
York. But riie waa at home now for the
Christmas holidays— was down at the cot­
tage. to o ; and unusually nervous for him,
the doctor stood before the little square
glass la his hack office, trying to make
himself look 'as well as possible, for he
was going that very afternoon to call up­
on Mias Clyde.
The doctor waa seriously in love. He
acknowledged that now to himself, con­
fessing, too, that with his lova was
mingled a spice of jealousy, lest Guy
Remington should be expensing more
thought on Maddy Clyde than waa consis­
tent with the promised husband of Lucy
Atberstone. He wished so much to talk
with Guy about her, and yet dreaded It;
for If the talk should confirm his suspi­
cions there Would be no hope for him. No
girl In her right mind would prefer him
to Guy Remington, and with a little sigh
the doctor waa turning away from the
glass, when Guy himself drove up In a
moat dashing equipage.
Guy was in the best o f »pipits. For
an entire half-day he had tried to devise
some means for getting Maddy up to
Aikenside. There waa to be a party at
Aikensida— the very first since Gay was
Its master. The neighbors had said he
should m y so no more. The house was
to be thrown open in honor of Guy’ s
twenty-sixth birthday, and all who were
at all desirable aa guests were to be bid­
den to the festival. First on the list was
the doctor. Guy was all engaged in the
matter, and after telling who were to be
invited, added rather indifferently: " I ’m
going now down to Honedale after Mad­
dy : It ’s better for her to be with us a
day or two before. You’ve eeen her, of
course.”
No, the doctor had not; he was just
going there, he said, in a tone so full of
sad disappointment that Guy detected it
“ I have not seen Maddy since last
spring, you know. Is she very much im­
proved?” asked the tbe doctor.
“ Yes, very much. There Is no more
stylish-looking girl to be seen on Broad­
way than Maddy Clyde. I took her to
the opera once, last month, and the many
admiring glances cast at our box proved
pretty positively that Maddy’s beauty was
not of the ordinary kind.”
“ Tbe opera!” the doctor exclaimed;
“ Maddy Clyde wt the opera ! What would
her grandfather say? He Is very puritan­
ical, you know.’
“ Yes, I know ! and so is Maddy, too.
She wrote and obtained his consent be­
fore she’d go with me.”
Here an interval of silence ensued, and
then tbe doctor began again.
“ Guy, you told me once you were edu­
cating Maddy Clyde for me, and I tried
to make you think I didn't care; but 1
did, oh, so much! Guy, laugh at me, if
you please. I cannot blame you if you
do; but the fact is, 1 believe I've loved
