O0 f Aunt Diana 5 The Sunshine of the Family a EBJ3E CHAFTHR XIV. Mistle'a feeling were decidedly mixed when Roger related at the breakfast table the whole atory of the previous night. AIIon wa little surprised by the attention she received. Her pale checks and hevy eyes secured a good deal of petting. Mr. Merle questioned her anx iously whether he had caught cold; Miss I.cigh fairly overflowed with tender In quirlrs; Roger waited on her araloualy, and Rudel Mt staring at hr, to the ob vious neglect of his breakfast. Mhula shruggrd her shoulder n little orer the whole affair. Alison had done very little after all, but they were nil making such a fuss over It. She doubly vexed when Mini Ilardwlck enmo in, full of en thusiasm for that dear, clever Alison. She had met Roger, and he had stopiied and glvn her and Anna a full account. Mia ale had to llMrn to more euloglum. though Alison modestly declaimed all praise. MI Ilardwlck quite frightened her when she assured her the whole thins would be noon alt over the town. "You will be n nine days' wonder, my dear," she Mid, graciously. "People will Mare at you when )ou walk through the street. Fancy l.wklng the wreteh In! It nu quite horrible and romantic. I tnut run home and tell mamma and An thony all about it." All this wax rather a trial to Alison, rerbap the greatest pb-arare the day afforded was when Roger showed her a letter he had written lu Aunt Pinna. "Oh, you foolish boy." kite mM, coloring with gratification nu she read the slow ing sentence, written straight from Ro ger's warm heart, ltut the tear were very near the surface too. There wtn a l.ttle apace left, and be wrote hHrrietlly across It, when Roger had left the room a moment: "Don't believe all Roger ays. dear Aunt III. I nerer fek more frlghtemsl in my life: heroine aro not made of aucb cowardly stuff; they do not act in a panic. They all make a sreat deal too much of it." Alton would hare been quite happy during the next few day except for the depressing effect of Mlssie' ill-humor. Mbuie waa plainly suffering from a bad attack of jealousy. Mlssie Bought con aolatlon In Kva'a Catteries. Her vlslta to Maplewood were now of dally occur rence. AlUon once ventured to remon atrate, "I do not think papa would be quite pleased, Mabel, if he knew you were ao much ip Captain Harper' company,' the said, very gently. "Captain Harier. Indeed."' returned Mlssie. baughtily. "Vou need not trouble youraelf, Alison. My visit are not to him." "Xo, dear, of course not," replied All aon, In a pleading tone, "ltut, all the aame, you are coins erery djy to Maple wood, and that throws you necessarily Into his resipany. Mist Ilardwlck can not weU banUh her cousin from the room . and. Mabel, do feel that It la not quite honorable to papa. He trusts us to carry out his expressed wishes, and In this you are setting them table." "I wish jou would mind your own butt newt Alison," he said, ansrlty. "Vou bate no right to lecture me becaus you are the eldest. F.va say I am quite Justi fied In asserting tnjself. T hope I know my duty without your always pointing it out to me. and you may leave papa to me. We hare alway understood each other perfectly and thire is never any thing wrong between us unless you ebeose to go and tell tales." "Mabel bow can you be so disagree able?" began Alison, hotly. Hut she cooled down ou reineinlerins Aunt Diana's advice "Never get warm over art argu ment, Allie. When you begin to feel angry it is time to bold jour lougue." And All ton held hers. She woutd bare been a little comforted if she bad known how ill at ease MIksIc really was. Her high complexion and cross Hpeerh only proved that the arrow had gone home. She knew In her secret heart that she was behaving dlhonor nbly. Her father trusted her, and she waa betraying his trust. The very next day she had planned to Join Hva and her couslu in a pleasure excursion, though she knew it was an act of tacit dlsoboJI- ence, but self-will only gains strength by J indulgence. Alison' vague uneasiness that led to her speaking was changed into positive alarm when Koger came Into her room that night. He was In evening dress, Laving Jui.t returned from an early par ty. Alison was waiting up for him. Hue liad put oil her dress, changing It for n dainty pink dressing gown. She looked up brightly at him as he entered. "Allle," he said, sitting down by her. "I am so bothered about something I have heard to-night. Did you know that Mabel waa going down to Durbana with MU" Hnrdwick and Captain Harper to morrow'" "Why, nol" she aid, starting a little. "What placo did you aay, dear?" Durban. It is about twenty wiles from here. There are wooiIh there where people go for plcnlca. I meant to have taken jou and Mabel one day, only we should have gone by (rain. Miss Anna waa at the Merediths', and she told me nil about it quite Innocently, It seems that Captain Harper Iibb gent for his dog cart and he ineana to drive them over. They are to have dinner and tea at the Castle Inn : so they mean to be away tha whole day." "Ob, Roger! what shall we dor ex claimed Alison. "If papa were only here I would go to htm at once. Mabel has no right to deceive him In this way, and I should certainly get him to put ft atop to It at once, but now he will not tie home until to-morrow." "He may possibly come by an earlier train, he told me so as wn walked to the station. It will depend on how long busi ness will detain him. Of course we should tell him, Allle; the thing Is beyond a Joke. Fancy that fellow having the au dacity to propose such a thing. I wih I knew what I could do nbout It, Allle, but father's absence obliges, me to bo in the office. I must be In the )ard early, too. I shall uot even be able to speak to MImIc." "I will tell her what you say, and then, of course, she will bo obliged to give It up," relumed Alison, not relishing her task at all. but counting, nevertheless, on an easy victory. Mlssie bad put herself so completely in the wrong- that no choice but submission was left to her. ltoger, who knew Mtssie perfectly, was not so sanguine. "Tell her that If she goes I shall cer tainly Inform father, and then he wlM put a stop to her visits to Maplewood, and tell her, too, that I am perfectly disgusted at her conduct. I am afraid you must do' It, Allle." "Very well," she sighed. Hut she lay awake a long lime revolving what words ahe would ue. AIIon awoke with a strange oppres sion Hon her a sense of dltllculty, that made the daylight seem It bright. She became nervously conscious that she might fall. What if her severity were of no avail, and Mlssie should persist In going? She was a little later than usual In going down. Hoger bad already bad his break' fast and had gone to the mill, and the meal was half over liefore she suggested that l'ottle should knock nt Mattel's door. "Oh. I forgot," returned Topple, lu n stricken vok, laying dawn her slletj of bread and Jam: "MIssle came Into my room before' I was drewsed, and tobl me to tell you she would not want any breakfast sbe was going to have It at MaHewood. She looked so smart, Alison. In her new blue drens. It was rather funny of her to pU It on for breakfast." "Mb I-lgh, will yeu come into the school room a moment. If lou have tin- IshnlT" Ktkl Alison, quietly: but the gov erness iioikrd that she looked rather pale. ami rwe at once, but she was even more shocked than Alison when she heard the whole story. "My dear, your papa will never for give us if we do not prevent it," she said, very solemnly. "Vou none of you know how particular he Is; and this will seem dreadful to him. Vou must go to Maple wood yourself, Alison, and speak to Mrs. Ilardwlck. She is the ouly one who can do anythiug. Anna can go in Mabel's place, but you must Insist on bringing Mabrl home. I will not answer for the consequences If this affair comes to your rather s ears, continued the governess, moved to tears at this fresh Instance of Mlssle's self-will. Alison thought this such good advice that she put on her bat at once and walked over to Maplewood. It was not n pleasant errand, she felt, and ithe hardly knew vWiat she would say to Mrs. Hard wick. She only knew she would refuse to return without MUe, even If she bad to brave the obnoxious Captain Harprr himself. Itut her face fell when site en tered the morning room and found Mr. Hardwiek ami Anna alone: the other had Just driven from the door. Sowing that her visit was uelt Alison returned home. Koger met her at the gate with the news that Mr. Merle had returned. "I have not seen him yet, Allle; I have only jttt come acrowi from the mill," he continued. "Would you like me to tell him. dar, or do joa think jou eon do it better V" "We will go together," returned All- ran, HDMsfly. "I am so afraid that he will put MiwMlf out, and then joii will know what to say," And I(;r acqule !. Thny found Mr. Merle In bis study, loollng somewhat fagged and weary, but he held iHit bis band with a smile, as though be were pleased to eee Ihem after his brief absence. "Where t Pussier he askd: "she Is generally the ilrst to weksiine me." Anil he looked round as though he were disap pointed. "Dear papa.' returned AHson, bravely. "I am afraid you will be vexed about something. We bare none of us seen Maliel this morning; she breakfasted at Maplewood. ltoger met Anna at the Meredith' last night, and she (old him that Mabel had promised to Join I!rn and her cousin in an excursion to Durbans. I went over to speak to Mrs. Ilardwlck and bring .Mabel bark, but they had al- rendy started. "What! ihHndered Mr. Merle, and the blackneMi of bis brow waa dreadful to Alison, "do')ou dare to tell me (hat Ma bel has gone over to Durbans In that mail's couiiany, when I forbade any in tercourse with him?" "Captain Harix-r Is driving them in his dog-cart," rejoined Koger, coming to his sister's relief. "It seems a very silly af fair, and I lioggcd her to stop It ; It I no fault of hers or of mine, father. Mlssle slipped out of the house while they were at breakfast, and though Alison started off to Maplewood a soon us alio could khe was just too late," "Xo, It Is not jour fault," returned Mr. Merle, gloomily, "Mabel must bear the brunt of her own disobedience. Mis Ilardwlck shall never enter this house again." "Would on like ma to take an early afternoon train to Durban'" interrupt ed Koger, who had already conceived this plan, "and when I could Join them; there Is a vacant seat In the dog cart." "Look out a train In the time table," he said, suddeuly; "I will go myself, Hog rr. Mabel shall not return in the dog cart; I shall bring her bade by train." ciiAPTnti xr. Alison passed nn anxious and solitary afternoon, and as ahe sat alone at her needle wqrk she could not divest her mind of all aorta of gloomy anticipations, Hhe know her father to be n man of strong passions; she dreaded the effecta of his displeasure ou Mabel. His severity would Xhi tempered, with justice, but still tha weight of his anger would lie crushing. Alison's tender heart was full of coin punctlon and pity for poor Mlssle. Toward evening she seoted herself un der the lime trees within view of the gnie. topple bad come home from her walk, and was pls.ilng about the lawn Now anil then lMmilp chiimnl her iui-m. Won. The time passed unheeded, and iti womi up with n start to the conviction that It wtv nearly eight, and the early autumn twilight was crrvplng over the garden. So late, and they bad not arrived, and what could have become of Roger? She called to 1'opide hurriedly to run Into the house, as It as bedtime and her supper was waiting In the school room, nn.l the little girl had hardly left her before the latch of the gate was raised, and In another moment Roger came rap idly toward her. He looked heated, as though he had been walking fast, but It was n white hnvt, and It struck Alison suddenly that he was III. or that he had heard some- (Ding. "Don't lie frtshlenisl. Alll.

"I have come (lrst to prepare ou; be as brave as vou can. for your help Is wanted." "Something dreadful has happened. Oh. Koger, lie quick." "I have no time to tell you much," be returned, still more hurriedly- "They enme hack by train oh. why did he, not send me? there was an accident. I was down at the station and saw them come In. Tbey are both hurt: at least. I am afraid Mlssic K wily sfc- will mt say so. i" miner s iik worst." "Ob. Koger 1" and Alison's figure sway ed for a moment on his arm until he made her sit ilown. fr the sudden shock had turned her IttM white. She moid not say more at that moment. "We do not know yet." he half whls pered: "there are two doctors with him, ami they are bringing hlra home. He had a Wow. ami was insensible, but they can not tell jet; there Is no wound. There. I hear them coming, Allle: pull ourselves together: wc must not think of anj thing hut him." "Xo, no," and xh give a quirk pilp. and the color enroe back to her lips. The sparrow were twittering sleepily In On Icy. "And one of them shall not fall on the ground without jour Father," seemed to come Into her mind, like the sudden flash of a sunbeam out of ft pass ing cloud. He was In the Divine hands; she must remember that. As Roger went down to 0M-n the gates she comjielled herself to return to the house. "Sarah, there has been an accident." she heard herself say, only her voice did not seem to belong le her.
