"No one la here, I think. Ilut ho cam you here!" "I had lost my way; I knocked at the door, hut no one answered ; then I walked In, with the hop of finding some one to make inquirlr of; and Jnt at that raw inrnt t heard nur footsteps, and then your voir. Oh, whs.t a blessed sound that wan In my earn!" "You hive been wandering about here In the hope of seeing me of meeting me accidentally? Was It not sol" "'n," she again answered, slowly, af ter another pause. "Hut. where are you staying?" he asked nudilenly. "Are you provided with lodg ing?" "Oh, yes, at Ilodmln: I have been there two days." "Hut that Is some distance from here. Itow can you get there to-night? There l no kind of conveyance to be procured." "Oh. I can walk. Voir father Is 111, It he not? the asked, suddenly. "He Is that Is why I am here." "What would he siy did he know of our love? Would he sanction It? WoulJ lie rooelie me as his son wife? He would rot, and you know It t" ah said, bitterly. and drawing away from blm. "He would think his house disgraced by such a mar- rtage. Hut were I a grand lady, and ugly as sin. and stupid as an owl, he would receive me with open arms!" "Yoo wrong my father, dearest Indeed you do! No man has a higher respect far beauty and Intellect than he has," an awered Arthur, mildly. "Ye, as adjuncts to birth !" she cried, idttcrly. "Ob, why did I ver seek this meeting? Why did I not leave you In peace, and fly from you and your love? Oh, no, no! It shall not be! Help me to struggle against myself! Drive me from you let me fly from you ! Do any thing to save yourself from ruin!" Her wild, passional voice told of the struggle that raged within. She prayed for the self-control .he hid never prac ticed, and It would not come. The self lrdulgence that from a child hid wirpod tier saul rendered her Inejpablc of self denying. She loved Arthur I'enrhyddyn according to her nature. It was a selfish love, but It was too powerful for her to wrestle with to trample upon. "Why Is this?" she went on, yet more wildly. "Until I met you. I knew noth ing of such struggles; I thought only of my own happln; but now, apart from 30 j. I have no btpplness no life! I am like one undr a spell. Ah, that Is It ' that Is It!" and she shudJered In every limb. "It la." he answered gloomily. "We are each other's fate Htruggle as we will, we are In the toIU we must fulfill our destiny !" "And you will wake m your wife, nnd I shall one diy be l.ady I'enrhyddyn?" b murmured. "Anything to make you mine; for I sinot exUt without you," be answered. In a low, passionate voice. "And If poverty comes," she said, "we -will brave It together." I "Tlieo the die Is cast," he cried, "and only death shall pirt 11s!" Agaln.That long, low wall of the wind. a he bad hrd It In the gallery, and agiln be felt as though a supernatural jirt-sence were about hint. And this time there mingled with the blsst another Hound a atrange, hoarse, rattling noise, and then a gasp, as from a human throat. "What Is that?" she whhpered, cling ing to him In mortal terror. It was like the hoarse rattle In the throat of the dying. His hair bristled, nnd his tlesli crept. Something was Dear them. What was It? Arthur was determined to Investigate the cause of these sounds. He remem Itered that he had a box of waxen matches In his pocket. lie struck one, and by Its light saw a lantern with a candle In It standing ojien upon a table. A puff of wind blew out bis light; but be struck another, and succeeded this time In Ignit ing the candle. Nothing was to 1m sen In the room In which they were. Ilut this owned Into the sleeping room, Into 'which Arthur bad never passed but once before; and that was on the night that. n a boy, he had seen a mother and child lying cold and motionless upon the bed. Into this room he now passedshe still clinging to him. A cry of horror burst from her lips, nnd she fell senseless upon the ground, while Arthur stood transfixed. Huddled ijhhi the bed, bis limbs drawn up as If with pain, Ills face distorted with tho agonies of death, was tho old fisherman, John Trcvelhlrk. He had been seltcd with u fit, and died with no ono by to help Iilm. Death bad been the witness of their betrothal, and the death rattle had min gled with their vows of love their only ratification. CHAI'TKH XXI. Tlecoverlng from his first atupo? of ter ror, Arthur extinguished the light, and, taking Mrs. Castleton In his arms, bore Tier out Into tbe open air. What was to te done? It was Impossible for her to Teach Ilodmln that night. If he went In to tbe village, there were a hundred chances to one against his procuring a conveyance. Uuc one resource was left open to blm a startling one, but Inevit ablebe must take ber to tbe Castle. He sxmld tell the servanta that she wu a lady 0 MacKENZIE s I to whom, finding It Impossible to nrocure I her any conveyance to Ilodmln, ho hail offered the hospitality of the Castle. That would bo sufficient. The cold air and the drlnllng rain, which now began to fall. In n few mom ents revived her from the swoon. She raised her head nnd stared wildly around. "What Is this? Where am I?" sb cried. "You are safe, dearest; come awny from this place It Is raining, and you will get cold." And he began to lead her away. "Oh. I have had such a terrible dream!" she murmured. "I have seen such an awful dead face! Was It a dream? Oh, no, no! tt was In that hut nhcre you promised to nuke me your wife. What place for love, with that awful dead face clov to us! IKmth and love love and denth! I.et their be an end of it, Kven from the grave we are warned against our union. Whero are you taking me to?" He told her that she mttst rest In the Castle that night, as It was Impossible for her to reach Ilodmln. "In the Castle?" she exclaimed. "Yea, dearest ; one day you shall rest there an Its mistress, I hop." There was nothing hopeful In his tone, however; his voice sounded hollow nnd dreary. The scene he had Just witnessed had sunk deep Into his soul: to him It was another link forged In the fatal chain that bound him. Doubtless the servant thought It a strange circumstance that Mr, Arthnr should so suddely bring a strange lady tnto the Castle. He requested them to SS-V a HTnAnnc x-rve ber wltb refreshments, and all that she required, and ordered apartments to bo preMrrd for her In tbe opposite wing of the bulhllag to that In which his own were situated. He would have taken leave of ber for the night, with such courteous distance as he would hive shown to a stranger; but she was not to b put off thus; and ber manner, as she bade him "(Jood night" msile tbe servants stare. and, doubtless, talk when they got below. This done, Arthur directed two of the servants to go down to John Trevethtck's cottage. Mrs. Castleton sat before the fire that billed cheerily upon the spacious hearth of ber great old-fashioned bedroom, call ing up visions of future grandeur. At times, the awful dead face thrust Itself In among tbem, but, with a shiver, she wrenched her thoughts from dwelling upon its hldeousness. Once In bed. wear iness overpowered her and she did not awaken until tbe sun was shining bright ly through the latticed windows. She sprang out of bed and looked out upon the glorious landscape of wool and field, hill and dale, and bright blue sen. That Invigorating atmosphere, flooded with golden light, quickly dissipated the suerstltlous fancies of tbe night, "Shall I renounce the chance of being the mistress of this for the sake of a mere superstitious fancy? I'erbapi I shall not come to him a beggar!" she mu-d. "Ilut I will say nothing of my hope of fortune; and at all events he will h proud of his wife's beauty!" and she smiled at ber Image In the glass. After brekfast, a servant brought her a mesage from Arthur, to ask If she could receive him. "At once," wos the reply. And five minutes afterwards he was holding her in his arms, and anxiously Inquiring how sba had rested. "Oh, excellently'." was her reply. "Hut I fear that you cannot say as much." He loked very worn and pale, as though he had not slept nil night which, Indeed, be had not ; but he did not tell ber so. He would have shown her through the Castle, but d'scretion prompted her to refute. She did not wish Kir Iaunco to know anything of her presenco thero; It might lead to explanations to a rupture. J!et ter defer such until later. And fur ther to avoid attention, she expressed ber resolution to walk to Ilodmln; and Ar thur arranged to accompany her. They parted about half a mile out of Ilodmln. "Do not let u be seen together any more," she aald. She bad more reason than one for this caution. "I shall re turn to London to-morrow. Write and let me know when you are coming up," "That will be as soon as my father U better," be answered. "Till thsn, adlou, my lore toy boa- v&rstr-fw&siv x M&attmmKxr"-Jr .ce band," 1O10 murmured, falling upon tils neck. And so they ported. Mrs, Castleton took her way to the principal hotel, "So Lite I" she muttered, looking up nt tlio church clock ns alio pissed. I ha only half mi hour to spare before the time of my appointment, t would not hae been late for that on any consider.! tlon." In her sitting room was Mrs. I'reeman, looking very worried nnd anxious. "Hood gracious, child, where have you been? I thought that something had hap pened to you l" she cried. "Something baa bapvened to me. Some thing that toil could never guess. I have passed the night within tno walls of IVnnrhyddyn Castle. Hut I cannot en plain matters now, I expect an arrival every moment." Ten minutes afterwards, a waiter an nounced that Mr. Jenkins, the postmas. ter at IVurhyd.tyu, was Mow and desired to see Mrs. Cnstlrton, Sho sat ihvwn In the darkest part of the room, and wnlted bis coming, nervous and ngltatrd. He was shown In, the door closed, and then she stepped Into the tight. "Father," she said, "do you not know me?" He started Kirk at the sound of her voice with a look of Intense surprise, which almost Immediately changed to one of angry sternness. "Is It you who have sent for me?" lw said, harshly. "What do you want with me? Are )ou not ashamed to look me In the face?" "I have sent for you to ask your for- givcncM," she answered, humbly, In a soft. pleading voire, and with a piteous, tearful look In her melting eyes. "My forgheness enn b of no uai to you," he answered. "Our waya of life are separate we can never again lw any thing but strangers to each other." He was turning on his heel to go when she clutched him by the arm and, drop ping upon her knees, held him fast. Her eyes were filled with tears, and her voice shook with genuine emotion. "Do not go without hearing me," she cried, plteously, "I am not so bad as you Imaglne.
