ifek IHhtfa lM5raiielhjar9i W5f a hi .,n....a . m. j By MRS. HENRY WOOD si iimgg3 OHAPTKIt IV. One morning thero wa i startling nn nouncement In the Time. A Iaily Avon's eye (oil upon It, she truly thought they must Is playing her false; that her tight was falling her. The living of (treat Whltton wa be atowed upon the Hon. ami Hev. Wilfred Hlliotscn, a personal friend of the Karl of Avon. Her ladyship called out for her daugh ter lu commotion: she sent her maid Charity, to hasten her. Orace feared her mother wan worse, and flew to the room wlta rapid atop. "What can bo the meaning of thin. Orace?" gasped the counted. "Henry ha not given the living to Mr. Uaumgarten nftcr all; he has given It to young KHIot on 1" "Oh, Indeed." said Orace, carelessly. "Harry can do a. he like, I suppose." "No, he can't. In such a case a thl. At leant he ought not. Once hi promle was given to me, it should have been kept. I cannot understand his going" from It. It Ik not like him." "Well, mamma, I don't see that It mat tor 10 us, whichever way It may be." "hut it does matter. 1 uon't want it almpcrlng young fellow like Wilfred Kl Hot eon down here, and whoe wife goes In for rank I'uvyistn besides. She ha only been waiting for hi appointment to n ebureb, report say, to make him play nil kinds of antics In It ; she leads him by the noe." (Srace laughed. "It Is no laughing matter." reproved her mother, "for me or Mr. Itaumgarten. I shall be ashamed to look him in the face. And he bad begun to lay out plan for hli marriage with Miss Dano and their life at Oreat Whltton !" "How do you know that?" asked Grace, quickly. "Mrs. Drlcc told me so when she was here jesterday," replied Lady Avon. "She knew from the Danes that Hyle Raumgar- en was to have Oreat Whltton and to marry Kdltb. Why Henry should be so changeable I cannot Imagine." Iady Avon wa evidently very much nnnoyed, and Justly so; annoyed at the fact, and annoyed because she was un able to understand her son, who was neither capricious nor Inconsiderate. She wrote a letter of complaint to him that day, and awaited his answer. The III new broke abruptly upon Mr. Uaumgarten. The little hard-worked. In offensive Mr. Hrlce, who bad a kind heart and never failed to have a kind word for his patients, chanced to sec In the Times the same paragraph that Lady Avon saw, and nn the same morning, and on the same morning. "Hies my heart," he exclaimed, "what an unlucky thing! How could Haumgar fen have made such a mistake? He said Lady Orace told him. Perhaps it was she who mistook the matter!" Away he battened to Whltton Cottage, the newspaper In hi pocket, and Into the clergy Stan's presence, who sat In bis lit tle study writing a sermon. And when lie got there, be felt at fault how to opn the ball. It seemed so cruel a thing to Ia. Mr. Haumgarten, who looked gay and unconscious, Wd up to It. "Have you heard any particular news this tuornhig?" began the surgeon, after a few word had passed. "No," lightly replied Mr. Itaumgarten; "I've not seen any one to tell me any: I bate been busy since breakfast with my sermon for next Sunday. Nearly the last I shall preach at Little Whltton, I expect." Mr. BrJce coughed. "Have you heard from Lord Avon?" he asked. "Not yets I rather wonder at It. Kvery Dionilng I look for a letter from Mm, but it does not come. He may be In France iigain fur all I know myself; I don't like to call at Avon House until my appoint ment is confirmed. It would look push ing: a if I were impatient." "Well, I I saw a curious paragraph la the newspaper just now, about Oreat Wbitton being given away; but It was mother name that was mentioned, not jours," aald Mr. Iirlce. "I thought I'd como here at once to see if you knew anything about It." "Not anything; newspapers are always making mistakes," smiled Mr. Uaumgar ten. Mr. Iirlce took the paper from his jiocket. Finding the place, he laid it be lore the clergyman, who read It. Head it twice over, and began to feel somewhat list easy. He read It a third tin', aloud. "We are autborited to state that the valuable living of Oreat Whltton, Home n!i I re, has been bestowed by Its patron, the Karl of Avon, upon the Honorable and Reverend Wilfred HIHotsen." There ensued a pause. The two gen tlemen were looking at one another, each questlonlngly. 'It must bo a mistake," said Mr. Ilaum csrten. "Lord Avou would not give the ln-JOg to me, and then give it to some one cist." "The question Is -did he give It to you?" returned Mr, Iirlce. "Perhaps the mistake lies in your having thought so." "I saw it in his own handwriting, In his letter to his mother. Lady Orace showed it to me; at least, a portion of it. He wrote In answer to an appeal Lady Avon Jiad made to him to give me thy living. Ills proinfso was a positive one. It is this newspaper that makes the mistake, Iirlce; it cannot be otherwise." "Auy way, we will hope so," briskly added the surgeon. Hut he spoke more confidently than he felt ; and perhaps Mr, Uaumgarten had done the same. Lord Avon's reply to his mother's let jter of complaint and inquiry came to her by return of pot, and run as fol lows : "My Dear Mother I canceled my promise of giving the living to Haumgnr ten at Orace's request. She wrote to mo pothate some days ago, telling mo there were reason why Uaumgarten would bo utterly unfit to hold Ore.it Whltton. nnd begging me to betow It upon any one Jther than uon him. That Is all 1 know; you mint ask an explanation of Orace. Of course, I assumed she was writing for you. It I settled now, and too late to change hark again. Klllotsen will do very well In the living, I dare say. A to his wife wanting to turn and twist him to at tempt foolish thing in the church, as you eom to fear, I think it hardly likely. If he does, he must put her down, liver your loving sou, "HENRY." "Ye. I did write to Henry, mamma: I did ask him not to give the living to Mr. Uaumgarten," avowed Orace, with paslonate emphasis, when quet lotted, her cheeks nllame, for the subject excited anil tried her. "My reason was that I com idor him an unlit man to hold it." "Why, It was at your request that 1 aked Henry to give It to Mr. Itaumgar ten; you lot me have no aoe until i consented," retorted Iady Avon. "Hut, after reflection, 1 came to the conclusion that I ought not to havo press ed It; that he ought not to have It, and would not do It; nnd the shortest way to mend the matter was by writing to Harry, rhafs all." Lady Avon glanced keenly at her daugh ter. She was mentally asking herself what it all meant the burning face, the tone sharp as a knife and telling of pain, the capricious conduct in regard to the preferment. Hut she could not tell ; she might have her suspicions, and very ridiculous suspicions, too, not at all to be entertained; but she could not tell. "I am sorry that a daughter of mine should have condescended to behave so; you best know what motive prompted it, Orace. To bestow a living and then snatch It away again In caprice Is sheer child's play. It will be a cruel blow to Kyle Itaumgarten." A cruel blow it was. Lady Avon turn ed to her desk after speaking these word to her daughter, and began a note to the young clergyman, feeling very much hum bled in mind as she wrote it. lu the most plausible way she could, a lame way at beit, she apologlxed for the mistake which had been made, adding she hardly knew whether it might be attributed to her son, to herself, or to both, and pleaded for Mr. Haumgarten's forgiveness. This note she dispatched by her footman to Whltton cottage. Mi. Itaumgarten chanced to be stand ing in the houso's little hall as the man approached. He received the note from him. "Is there any answer to take back, sir? My lady did not say." "I will so," replied Mr. Haumgarten. "Sit down, Itobert." Shutting himself into hi study, he opuned the note. For a few happy mo ment If moments of suspenw ever can be happy he indulged In a vision that alt might still be right; that the note was to tell him so. It was short, filling only one side of the aper, and he stood while he read It. Hefore he had quite come to the end, before he had well gathered In Its pur port, a shock, singular In Its effects, struck Mr, Itaumgarten. Whether his ortath stopped, or the circulation of bis heart stopped, or the coursing of his pulses stopped, he could not have told, but ho sank down In a chair powerless, the ielter falling on the table from his nerve leas hand. A strange, beating movement slltied him Inwardly, his throat was gaije iTit, his eyelids were fluttering, a sick funtness had seized upon him. Hut that he struggled against it with desperate resolution, he believed he should have fainted. Once before, he had felt something like this, when he was an un dergraduate at Oxford, and he hail been rowing against time to win a match. They said then, those around him, that he had over-exercised his strength. Hut he had not been exercising his strength now, and he was far worse this time than he had been then. He sat perfectly still, his arms support ed by the elbows of thu chair, and recov ered by degrees. After a bit, he took up Lady Avon's note to read it more fully, and then he knew and realized that all, to which be had been so ardently looking forward, was at an end. "Her ladyship's notice does not require an answer, Itobert," he said with appar ent coolness. "How Is she to-day?" "Middling, sir. She seemed much up set this morning, Charity told us, by a letter she got from his lordship in Ion don," added Itobert. "Oood day, sir." Mr. Haumgarten nodded In answer. He stood at the door looking out, apparently watching the man away. The sun was shining In Kyle Haumgarten's face, but the sun which had been latterly shining on his heart, Illuminating It with colors of the brightest and sweetest fancy that sun seemed to have net forever. CHAITKIt V. The Hon. and Hev. Wilfred KJHotsen took possession of tho living of Oreat Whltton, having been appointed to it by Lord Avon. And the Hev. Ityle Haum garten remained, as before, at Little Whltton. Changes took place. They take place everywhere. The most notable one was the marriage of Mr. Haumgarten. That lie bad been grievously disappoint ed and annoyed at the appointment of another to the living, which be bad been led to suppose would be his, wa a hitter ; tact, Ho. sot It down to thu caprice of groat men, and strove to live down the sting. The chief difficulty lay lu hi con templated marriage; nnd ho deliberated with himself whether ho ought fur the present to abandon It, or to carry It out. lie decided upon tho latter Nurse. It I probable that ho deemed ho could not In honor withdraw now, and It I more than probable that, ouoo having niton ml him self to cherish hi hopes and hi love, ho was not stoic enough to put them from him again. Mrs. Dano gave permission readily. A long a she lived nnd wns with them her small liiconio would augment their. And within n month of Mr. Hnumcartou's dis appointment, he nnd Kdltb became man a ml wife. "You do quite right," warm-hearted lit tle Mr. Hrloo had assured them. "The cuttings and contriving necessary to make a small Income go n far as n largo one render a jouug couple all the hap pier. I ought to know; initio wa small enough for many a year of my married life; it's not much else now." The autumn wa ndvauclug when Iord Avon came down to pay n visit to his mother. HI lordship brought with him full intentions to have It out with her, and with Orace, about that matter lu the summer. He began with hi mother. Sho knew no more of It than he did, she pro tested resentfully, for she was still sore ilium the tmlnt. AH she could say was that he had written to promise the living for Mr. Haumgarteu and then gate It to Wilfred Klliotsou. Orace was more Impervious still. She simply refused to discus thu subject at all, telling her brother to hold his tongue. "I don t see why jou should blame me, mother, remonstrated the joung man. "It was certainly no fault of mine." "It was your fault, Henry," retorted Lady Avon. "I toM you of Orace's peremptory let ter." "Who but you would heod the wild let ter of a girl? You should havo waited for me to confirm It. As I did not do so, you ought to have written to me In-fore acting. I did not care for Mr. Haumgar ten to have Oreat Whltton: it was Grace who worried me Into asking It of you; but as you promised It to him, It should have N-on his. You cannot picture to yourself, Henry, half the annoyance It has cost me." I.ord Avon could picture It very well. All this arose from Orace's absurd ca price. She had been Indulged all her life and did Just as she pleased. "And for you to put so silly a young fellow a Klllotsen Into It," went on l.ady Avon, enlarging on her grievances. "I told you his wife would make him play all kind of pranks In the church." "What doe hn do?" asked Iord Avon. "Very ridiculous thing Indeed. He has put a lot of bras candlesticks on the communion table, nnd he turns himself about and bows down at different parts of the service, and she sweeps her head forward In a fashion that sets the whole church staring. We are not used to these Innovations, Henry." Lady Avon was correct In saying so. The Innovation were Innovation In those days; now they are looked upon al most as matters of history, as If they bad come In with William the Conqueror. "And the parish Is not pleased with them?" returned Trtl Avon. Tlensed with them," reborn! his moth er. "He began by wanting to make every soul in the parish, laborers and all, at tend dally service In the church from 8 o'clock to I), allowing them ten minutes for breakfast and fifty for prayers; and she has dressed the Sunday school In scarlet cloaks, with a large white linen cross sowed down the bark. On" thing Is not liked at all; the lnxNrlnced rustic cannot tie made to understand which way he wants them to turn at the creeds; so be has planted some men behind the frvo benches every Sunday with long white wands, ami the moment the Helief begins, down come the wands, rapping the head of the doubtful ones. You have no Idea of the commotion It causes." Iord Avon burst Into a laugh. "I'd have run down for a Sunday before this, ' had I known the fun 4hat was going on, said he. 'The girls must take raw the bulls don't run at their scarlet cloaks." "Ah, Henry, you young men regard these things but ns matters for Irreverent Joking. Mr. Hauiifgarten would not have served us so." Presently he walked out. In one of the pleasant green lanes with which tho place abounded, he suddenly encountered Hrlce, the surgeon, who wns coming along at a steaming pace, "Walking for a wager?" cried he. "That's It; your lordship has Just hit It," replied the surgeon, grasping warmly the ready band held out to him. "I and Time often have a ma toll together, ami sometimes he wins and sometimes I do." (To lie continued.) IJvrn ut Last, "In the dark, still hours sotno one shouted 'Hurglnr!'" "You don't Miiy?" "Yes, ii ml then wo nil rushed out of our nimrtinntH nnd down the atejm.
