it had been three months before when guy had been introduc ed as the heir of tho title and es tate but cheerily and comfortably lighted up as when the absent loved one is expected in tho little picturegallery whero guy had learned the sad story of his uncles life the old man sat ner vously stroking his silvery mustache with his thin white hand by his side on a little table lay two tcle- grams both had tho air of having been much handled but one was of older date than the other as might have been seen by a hasty glance at it for it was worn at tho creases so that it hardly held together it read i have found constance wo leave for liverpool on the steamer of today it was dated twelve days before and was signed guy hartlcigh the other was dated the same day as that on which we see sir richard and was from london it read will- bo home tonight by ten oclock train and was also signed by guy these two telegrams were all the anxious old man had received from guy and he would have wished full details of the daughter who had been found and- was coming back to him after all those years of absence did tho reticence of guy mean that he did not wish to anticipate the pang with which tho proud old man must greet the girl who had grown up far from all the refining influences his daughter should have had by right the old man looked up at the face of the mother with a silent plea for forgiveness for the past and his lips murmured a promise to cherish the daughter bo what sho might taking on himself all he burden of what ever she might lack in moral or in tellectual training ho was not tho reserved stern pan of only three months before ever since the departure of guy he had been softening and after the re ceipt of the first telegram there had come into his face an expression of yearning tenderness which complete ly transformed him and in that short time the servants of the hall who had been wont to look upbn him with a certain fear mingled with respoct now began to find themsel ves warming toward him he had at once given out the news of the finding of his daughter by guy and not only his own house hold but the whole country was looking forward to her coming with a curiosity second only to his own the story of his early life was known to a few of th older people and thoy told enough of it to whet tre curiosity of ovcrybody to know what sort of a person the daughter would be for that he cared nothing al though ho must have known that the was being talked about ho dreaded 1 find her ignorant and coarse but ho had steadfastly kept before himself tho one idea that be sho what sho might it was his own doing and therefore he would not permit himself to look forward with any other thought than one of joy at having his daughter with him it was already after halfpast nine oclock and ho began to look ner vously at his watch ovcry few min utes ho paced tho floor and sat down lagain he arose to look at e tho picture of his wronged wife he paced tho floor again ire read and rroad tho telegrams ho listened with sharpenod cacfor every sound on tho graveldrivo underbids win dow tho timo dragged but at last the listening ear caught tho longedfor sound of wheels he sank upon tho lounge holding his hand over his heart and with blanched face walt- od thero for some ono to come and tell him that his daughter was in his house once moro how would sho greet him what was sho like thoso wero tho questions that coursed through- his mind as ho sat there listening to the opening of tho great doors to the depositing of trunks on tho porch and to the sound of voices too indistinct for him to recognize at that distance ho was sure ho had heard tho voico of guy but listen as ho would it did not seem to him that he could catch tho faintest sound that would indi cate that constance was there too could it bo that sho had changed her mliid at the lost minute and de cided that she could not forglvo tho man her father though ho were who had caused her innocent mother su- fering ho looked up nt tho sweet face in tho picture with a look so full of pleading that it tho young wifo could havo been there sho would certainly have told hla that all was forgiven sir richard ho turned quickly and half ris ing cried brokenly guy my boy you have brought her with you did you not receive my tele gram yes bit i fcarcdi feared nho might not havo been able to forgive mo si a hero she has gone up stairs sho was very tired and asked if sho might not go to her room before meeting you of course of course ho answer ed nervously if sho would pre fer sho shall n come down at all tonight oh sho will come down how are you uncle and ho took tho trembling hand in his i am well but constance is she is she you havo told mo nothing about her why did you not write i tried uncle but i could not i thought it better to wait until you could sco her and judge for your self the old man would ask no more questions about her lest guy should have to say something in dispraise of her ho would have liked to know if she resembled her mother but ho would not ask he merely looked up at tho picture with that peculiar ex pression of longing which now unj dcrlny all other expressions when ho looked at his wife- guy saw tho glance and though not ordinarily quick in such cases understood his uncle at once ho said hastily she is not like her mother but she has a striking resemblance to you she carries tho proof of her origin in her face and bearing a shade of disappointment crossed the old mans face but ho made no comment on tho statement and ner vously turned the conversation to other channels nsking guy about america and how he had enjoyed the trip and a hundred questions sud denly he asked y do you remember the conversa tion wo had before you went for her yes sir uneasily do you like her docs she like you are you friends guy flushed and answered as he drummed awkwardly on the little tabic we arc very good friends sir i believe i ought to tell you uncle ho said turning from the subject abruptly that you must make al lowances for constance nt first allowances yes of course of course i mean that she has undergone a great deal particularly lately as i will tell youat some other time and may hot bo just what you would wish but i hope that in a little while indeed 1 do not know he stopped awkwardly os one who is afraid of saying cither- too much or too little and cannot find the right expression to clearly state his real meaning but the old man with the idea strong upon him that his daughter was in some way lack ing in the qualities he would most like her to possess said quickly it shall not she is my daughter and i shall find no fault with her be assured of thnt guy it was not what i meant exactly i would have said miss hartlcigh awaits in the drawingroom announced a foot man and sir richard as if glad to escape any further explanations took guys arm and led dim from the room t iraybc calm sir said guy as he felt the old mans hand tremble on his arm and whatever happens do not bo cast down all must come right in a little while sir richard looked up nt his ne phew in a piteous way and passed his hand nervously over his face- he dreaded to sec his daughter after guys words of warning twice re peated but he was firm in his re solve to greet her with words of love and with all fatherly affection guy looked down at his undo in a pitying fashion but said no more as they nearcd tho v wingroom the old man made a strenuous effort to control himself ho would prove to himself and to guy that ho was not afraid tp meet his wronged daughter he disengaged his hand from guys arm and quickening his pace entered tho room first several weeks had- passed since constance had been carried fainting into a wretched hovel in the wilds of america and during that time sho had recovered all of her freshness and beauty sho was palo but with tho crcamliko pallor which was characteristic of her stylo of beauty and served to set off the dark eyes and hair with true art bhc had chosen a black dress of somo soft material and for her only orna ment ono pnlcycilow rose in tho thick folds of her soft dark hair sho had como down to the draw ingroom nnd despatched tho foot man on his crrnno after which sho had crossed her hands in front of her and glanced around tho richly furnished room with its costly bricabrac and articles of virtu its statuary and paintings and a look of scorn passed over her beautiful face sho was not accustomed to such luxury but sho contemplated it coldly ijcr eye roved over tho paintings nnd thoro was nothing but scorn on her faco os sho glanced from faco to faco of her ancestors- hers though tho world would have disputed her right to them had it known who sho was they prided themselves on their blood its purity nnd ago sho murmured nnd they would scorn mo as i scorn them if they could know me for who i nm and yet tho most remote ancestor of them all had no moro right than i to a place in his fathers house her lip curled bitterly as she swept tho walls and she would havo turned away had not her eye been caught by tho portrait of a hand some young man she turned swift- 1 y and faced that it is my father sho whispered to herself so he must havo look ed when ho won my mothers heart and wrecked her life young hand some rich and fortunate ho cared no moro for my poor mother than if sho had been a fly for his hook ho deceived her and laughed at her mis ery she was not noble as ho was and it did not matter from tho picture her glance wan dered around the room and a burn ing sense of contrast fired her heart her thoughts travelled back to the little house in san francisco where her mother had died and to tho days of hardship and suffering which they two had borno together sho looked again at tho portrait and lifted her eyes to heaven mur muring havo no fear oh my mother i will be steadfast in my purpose of revenge for your wrongs and you too my sister whose name i havo taken can find no wrong in what i am doing did he not treat you nnd your mother with a cruelty us bit ter and selfish as ever man in his brute strength meted out to his weaker fellows j will bo stead fast she let her eyes drop moodily to the floor and was standing thus with thoughts of hatred and revenge in her mind when the anxious old man entered the room and saw her itcr back was toward him but he could see enough to convince him that whatever her shortcomings might bo she had at least tho bear ing of a lady that thought flashed through his mind almost uncon sciously to himself but it modified his greeting of her for there was nothing of pity in his voice as ho cried in a low eager tone my child constance she ituncd with an air far more regal than filial and saw him stand ing tremblingly near the door and with hands pleadingly outstretched looking at her with a sort of awe on his thin face he was startled by her wonderful beauty and aristocrat ic air and in somo indefinite way chilled by her composed glance at him for she gave no answering sign of warmth and did not speak for a minute and then only to say coldly my father guy standing back from the door way could see her expression nnd could tell irom the old mans hesi- i tating manner that he was struck to the heart by this cold reception he turned his head away however nnd waited silently for what might fol low sir richard after a moment of heartrending silence let his hands fall to his sides nnd stepped toward his daughter with a humility tho more striking in ono who had ever borne himself so proudly my daughter he said sadly you do not forgive mc tho misery i have caused you and your mother and you arc right i make no ex cuse for myself and yet i havo suf fered too can you not forgive mc the cold proud look faded from the beautiful face and with a weary protesting glance upwards as if beg ging witness that she could not un moved sec that stately old man bending his white head so humbly for a kind word she stepped slowly toward him and said gently father the sudden eager happiness that flooded tho sad face of the old man almost brought the tears to her eyes but she was accustomed to re pressing emotion and only put her two hands in his when he made a gesture asking her to do so he held her small soft hands in his regarding her with a look in which love and wonder wore equally miu- glcd ho could not havo asked his daughter to be more than this peer less creature wns nnd ho bent over and kissed her hand with ns much respect us if she had been his sov ereign instead of his daughter sho answered by a slight pressure of tho hand and then allowed herself to bo led to a chair he sat beside her and guy withdrew going to his room to chango his clothes for sup per which he knev- would soon bo served constance begantho old man gujr must htxvo ytold you how i havo searched fof you and your mother ho said this hesitatingly as if he would discover how much she had really forgiven him and ho latched her closely so that he saw the sud den hardening ofthc lines around tho mouth and the quick flash from tho dark eyes i do not sny this ns any pallia tion of my first injustice ho hast ened to odd but only ns a preface to what else i would say to you aro you too tired to listen now no sho answered with a resump tion of her chilling manner i know it is hard to forgive me ho said with pathetic humility and i do hot ask it now you may in time learn to do so and then i shall bo glad but tonight i wanted to say that no atonement that i can innko to you for tho wrong done to your mother shall wait for lack of will on my part i livo for your happiness and no wish of yours that i can gratify shall go unsatisfied i shall try to make you happy and heaven willing i shall succeed have you no word for me constance it seemed to tho girl that if sho could havo thrown her arms around tho neck of tho old man and wept tho tears that struggled in her heart for an outlet she would havo been happiest but with a glance nt tho mod dick hartlcigh on tho wall sho murmured i will try to do as my mother would havo had mc that is moro than i deserve for i know her gcntlo heart too well to fear that sho would wish unhappl- ncss to her worst enemy maida thought of tho real con stance and it came oxcr her with a ash of pity for the old man what a difference it would havo made to and was bo not her own father too and who moro than ehe needed a ue love she choked back a rising sob and then throwing off all re straint put her arms around his neck and whispered brokenly do not mind my strange ways father j i i am not myself he thankfully raised his eyes to heaven and stroked her dark hair lovingly saying softly my poor child shall we bury the past and try to livo in tho pre sent e do not ask it to relieve my self of my righteous burden of self- reproach but tho past is dead aud i would havo tho future atono for tho evils of it 1 yes the past isdead sho mur mured as if pleading with the face which had hardened in death de manding of ber to remember her oath to revenge the wrongs of a bcr trayed and slighted woman and we will refer to it no more ho said no more she repeated and with a slight shudder withdrew from his affectionate detention sir richard kissed her hand with the air of thanking her for the for giveness which he felt sure she had extended to him nnd she could not say a word to wrench his heart again- and so he talked to her with a proud and eager happiness of all they would do rebuking himself smilingly for his childishness

she do- scribed minutely althoughno idea as to its locality was conveyed to her says a writer in the london spec tator subsequently in the year 1863 i hired for the autumn from lady b a house in the highlands with shooting and fishing my son who was in scotland at the time arranged the matter neither my wife nor i having seen tho place when i went without my wife to make final arrangements for taking possession lady r was still liv ing in tho house and sho told mo that if i did not mind she proposed putting mo for tho night into a bed room which she herself usually occu pied and which for some time past had been haunted by a littlo lady who continually appeared in it as i was somewhat sceptical upon such matters i replied that i should bo delighted to make the acquaintance of her ghostly visitor and i ac cordingly slept in the room butno such visitor appeared to mc subsequently upon my wifes ar rival at the house- she to her great astonishment found it to be the counterpart of her dream house and on inspecting it from hall to at tic every detail appeared to corres pond but on descending again to tho hall sho said no this cannot bo tho house after all as in my dream there was another suite of rooms on that side which is missing here she was at once told that thero was such a suito of apartmonts not approached from tho hall and on being taken over them sho rccog- nized every room she however said that a bedroom in thissuito appeared in her dream to be asit- ting room and it appeared that this had been the case but that the ar rangement had just been altered a day or two after mywifo and i met lady b and it introduced tho two ladies to each mher as they had not previously been acquainted instantly lady b- exclaimed why- you are tho lady who haunt ed my bedroom i havo no ex- planation to offer nor had my wife during tho rest of her life as to what some might call a roraarkablo coincidence and what would bo cal led in tho highlands a caso of se cond sight certainly my dear wife was the lust person in the world to give unduo license to her imagina tion and further i can vouch for tho fact and so can other members of my family that sho did undoubt edly
