t, l. l ;« ASTBURY’S BARGAIN; easy drive to the city, and one of the prettiest places in the picturesque disâ€" trict (1 Norwood. The grounds extend- ed to about fifteen acres, and were sur- rounded by magnificent beeches, oaks, and elms. The house “as outside in the style of a baronial castle, with min- arcts, buttresses, and a clock tower; but. within, it was arranged on the mint approved modern principles of comfort and convenience. There were green terraces reaching down to an ex- tensive lawn, surrounded by a dense shrubbery of bully and rhododendrons. Beyond was the park, where all the year round a few deer might be seen tameiy nibblingthe rich herbage, un- disturbed by the two cows which shar- ed the pasture, or the traffic along the trench avenue. The place had been pur- chased by the late John Ellicott from the executors of an cccentric gentle- man who, combining admiration for ancient architecture with a due sense of the advantages of modern improveâ€" ments, had built the house and arrang- ed. the grounds according to his own views. Overton Park was now the pro- perty of Mr. Ellicott's nephew, who brought his young wife home after a pleasant sojourn on the Riviera. There never had been such a tender and devoted husband as Henry Dacon, not only during the honeymoon, but in the months and years that succeeded it. ’Ilhe chief aim of his existence] seemed to be the discovery of some! new means for affording his wife pleas- ure; and he was brimful of joy when-i evor he succeeded in giving her some; unexpected and pleasing surprise. She: had no wish, no whim eVen, howcvurl extravagant, which was not. immediate] ly gratified. He passed the recognis-i ed bounds of a husband's most trans- cendent proofs of affectionâ€"he not only made this mother-in-law welcome to the house, but he showed her every token of respect at home ‘and abroad. No mother had ever before known such a paragon of a. son-inâ€"law. He had made the mist liberal settlements on her daughter, and by his attentions made her the envy of all the matrons in her circle who had daughters married or to marry. The widow fully appreciated i [the advance in social estimation thus; gained, and was intensely proud of it.‘ CHAPTER V. Overton Park was within an hour's But she contrived to wave the flag of! triumph so discreetly that few could- say she was unduly vain of the good, fortune which had befallen her and her' daughter; . Every one who [had any intimacy with the young wife assured her that she had drawn a big prize out of thev matrimonial lucky-bag; and she wouldl answer frankly that she knew, and was I glad and grateful for it. almost to fear that Bacon was too? good. As long as a wear and a. lhalfi after marriage, when aby Hetty was! fufll_sevcn months old, she had the exâ€"[ tteptional privilege of o‘hiding her bus-I band for this too great eagerness to. satisfy all her fancies.

He became Serious enough as these words were spoken, and the wife felt. that he involuntarily drew a little away from her, whilst. she in surprise clung the more closely to him. "1 have not annoyed you. Henry; I hope 1 have not done that?” she pleaded. “No, no, Hefty," ‘he answered grave- lly; “not annoyed me, but. bothered me, for you have found out the thing I can- not. do for you.. Remember, even if I could bring Astbury back to Eng- lland, I could not compel him to love your cousin. You cannot have forâ€" gotten that it was another person he cared for, and she knew it..-I am sorry for her; I am sorry for him; butI don't see how to hel'p them in the way you want.!' - "Yes, I know it is impossible, and wish I had not spoken about it; but she is suffering so very much, and all the more because she tries to hide it. If she. would only unburden her mind by telling her sorrow to somebody, she would be better; but She will not say anything even to me)" “It. is better that she should not", he said abruptly, as if irritated; but be instantly subdued his voice and continu~ ed: "Still, seeing you so anxious on the subject, she might have told you that I have already done all I could for them both!"

' She clasped her arms round him, her heart throbbing with pride and affec- "You knew all the time, and yet incurred that. great loss rather than i betray himl’! He endured the embrace; he could not respond to it. "I told you at the time," he said coldly, "that I did not believe Astbury guilty. But I think, Hetty, a little. reflection will convince you that the seldomer his name is men- tioned between us ilhe more comfort- able it will be for me." "I will never speak of him again,” was the impulsive promise. "But it is a pity, since you are so sure of his innocence, that he cannot return. They might come together and be happyâ€" .Iike us.i’-' She did not return to the subject af- ter his declaration that it was unpleas- ant to himâ€"although her notion was lthat it ought to have been quite the reverse, considering how nobly he had acted throughout towards a rival who would {have triumphed by dcfammg him. But, of course, she had not told him what Gilbert had suggested, and she had so sterrn‘ly repudiated. She kept her resolve, and never did tell him. Ducon had Spoken truzly. He had done his best to meet. Daisy's wishes. He not only asked Gilbert for leave to give her his address, but frankly told with what fervour the girl, strong in her conviction of his innocence, had de- clared her resolultion to bring him back to England, in order that his good name might be cleared of every stain with \Vhilh calunrny and misapprehen- sion had daubed it. He went further, and told Gilbert that if ever a woman loveda man, Daisy Forester loved him; and addedâ€"with uninicnlionai coarse- ness, arising from his sclfisit dosirc to get. lit-r out. of his way as much as to console the exileâ€"that it would not be difficult to persuade her to emigrate to 1 Son: h America. ’Ihat letter brought one from Gilbert to Daisy by the next mail. “The account Dacon sends of your faith in me," he wrote. “hasgiveu mu unspeakable com- fort; and if I could only know that IIctty shared it 'with you, I should be quite happy.

In this he delicately indicated that the old love. was still strong within him. i If Daisy had entertained a hope of her cousin's marriage having so changed the f nature of his regard for her as to per- nzit his affection to settle. elsewhere, it would have been dispelled by this coni- munication. But Daisy was not thinking of winning him for herself.

He did not Imean to return to England unless he ,lcarncd that Hefty was unhappy and gin need of help. He implored Daisy not 1to despise him for his weakness, but to continue writing to him, for her let- ters brought the sunshine of home in- to hts extle's dwelling place, making him feel strong and content. She wished him to return; but she could not offer him the one. inducement which he declared would bring him ibuck.

Daisy facts once exprcssing surplus»: or curiosity at the singular condition on which Gil- bert would alone attempt. to reverse the doom of banishment he had ac- cepted. Before this correspondence, she had suspected the reason why he had become. a fugitive, and now she knew it. She believed he was wrong; but she could not endure to vex him by the. constant iteration of that ver- dict. Sihe wished to help him; and so wrote as pleasantly as she could, giv- ing in reply to his minute inquiries every detail at her command of IIet-; ty's life and of the growth of little Het- é tyâ€"the prettiest, fairest, and merriest child that had ever been born. Thedetters became to Gilbert the most important of each mail, the first sought and the first opened.

She, with no other desire than to console one. u": - had sacrifin and suffered So much plied faithfully and truly to each letic . Unoonsciously, she saved him from fallâ€" ing into the morbidly bitter state which is often the consequence of disappoint- ment on an ardent generous nature. The activity with which he work after receiving each missive made him aware of the happy influence she was exercising over his career, and he was profoundly grateful to her. When he said “good-bye" to her at the gar- den gate of Cedar Cottage he had fanci- ed that. 'he was passing into the valley of gloom, from which he would never again emerge. But. youth and health were on his side; and Daisy had raised a beacon to guide him through the darkness of a troubled mind. He be- gan to wonder sometimes in a vague, dreamy may, why such a woman, beau- tiful-1, gifte . and capable of great love. should not yet have found a compan- ion-soull worthy of such a treasure. It seemed strange to him now, that he had never thought of this before; and with the thought came a chill as he reflected that her letters would cease whenâ€"as must happen some day -â€"she married! He had not forgotten Dacon’s assertion that Daisy’s heart had been given to himself; but he had ut; the idea aside as one of his friend's eeble efforts to console him at any hazard soas to keep him quiet. Daisy was, as she had always been, his dear- est friend, but she having been his con- fidant. all along, could have’ no feeling of the kind for him, or she would never have endured his constant harping on the one theme of his lost loVe. As he considered the prospect of the cessation of her letters. he became conscious that whilst the memory of Betty was like that of one who had died years ago, Daisy was a living, near and dear presâ€" ence to him. One mail arrived and brought no mes- sage from her. He was uneasy, but concluded that she had somehow mis- oalculated the date of dcspatch. An- other mail arrived without anything from her, and then he realised how precious, how necessary to him were those tokens of remembrance from Daisy Forester. He fell. like one who has been toiling through a long dark night and has just caught the first glad signs of a bright. down when he is suddenly stricken blind. \\'as the prospect of happiness which he had be- gun to see. through Daisy’s agency to be denied him? He did not. like to telegraph; it would startle without en- abling her to understand that he was Imostly alarmed about herself, for he thought it could be nothing but serious illness that had arrested her pcn. He wrote; and his letter was crossed by one from her. Dot-on had been very queer for some time, and Betty was much distressed on his account. He was as fond and kind as ever. devoted to his wife and child-madly bound up in the little one, with whom he spent all his leisure, inventing amusements for her. and only smiling when he was romping with her, capering about the lawn or the nursery with her. But he was not well. and Betty was very mis- ‘erable about him. (To Be Continued.) __.____.+â€"-â€"â€"â€"â€"-â€"- POWER OF MONEY IN TURKEY.
