 l\ GOLDEN BONDS. CHAPIEU XIX. Mr. Rayner was right. I was very tired and the next momiag I overslept myself, and did not come downstairs uijcil break-* fast was more than halt over. It had been unusually punctual, and, to my surprise, the brougham came round to the door as I w^nt into the dining-room, and I found Mr?. Rayner in outdocr dress at the table. "Well, Miss Christie, we have all got tired of you so we are going to leave you all alone at the Alders," said Mr. Riyner, when he saw my astonished tace. And, when he had amused himself a little longer by all sorts of absurd stories about tbeir departure, I found that he was going up to town for a few days, and that Mrs. Rijner was going with him as far aj Beaconsburg static n. He was going on busi- ness, he said but he should combine pleav snrj with it â€" go the round of the theatres, and perhaps not be back until Saturday. This was Tuesday. "Would you like to go to Beaconsburg with us You have no lessons to do, as Haidee is still in bed. And I dare say you have some little purchases to make; and ypu can change the books at the circulating library, and Mrs. Rayner will hare a com- panion to drive back with." Mrs, Rayner did not receive the proposal with enthusiam but he told me to run up- stairs, put on my things, and be down be- fore he could count thirty aad I was in the dining-room again, panting and struggl- ing with my gloves, in scarotly more than the pre5cribed time. There was plenty of room for me on the little seat in front of them in the Irougham tut I had great diffi- culty in dissuading him from sitting outside by the coachmsn m order to give us more room. When we get to the station, we found we were there a jreat deal too soon. Mr. Rayner walked up and down, talking to the stationiraster and the people he knew, tell- ing every one where he was going, and ask- ing ithose among them who had been to London lately wt at were the best plays to go and see, and if they knew of a really good hotel, not too expensive, within easy distance of the th( atres. He said to me once, â- when I was standing beside him â€" "If anything should happen while I am away â€" if Haidee should get worse, or Mrs. Rayner frighten you, or anything â€" telegraph to rne at once at the Charing Cross Hotel. I don't know whether 1 shall be there but if you send it there it will reach me. You will find some terms in my study, and you will just write it without saying a word to anybody, and take it right to Sdm, and tell him to go to Bsaconsburg with it at once. Mini to Sam don't trust any of the women- fcri^ants." I wondered he cid not entrust this duty to the all-important Sarah but I aocepted the charge without comment. "\Vhat shall 1 bring you this time?" said he, just befcro the train came up. "Rosea are out of season. Some more paste to match your pendant ' ' )a, no, no " answered I. "You know I cant wear it, Mr. lUynsr; and it only makes me vain anl makes me wish ior more." "Ah I though so I ' said he, half to him- self, maliciously. "Well, wishes always come true if one wisSies them hard enough. I thall bring you some garnets. That is the. ir.ott expensive red stone, and very pretty." 'â- ()j, 1 think I would rathsr not! I really dent want any jawellery, Mr. Ray- ner." declared I. Bit the tiain had come up. He saii good bye affectionately to his wife and kind- ly to me and we saw him off, and then made our purchases and drove back to Geliihim. It was lather an uncomfortable drive, fcr the only remark Mrs. Rayner made was, when I said it was cold â€" "Then ycu had better order them to light the fire in your room early. Miss Chriacia, Mr. Rayrer will upset the whole household ii ycu take cold while he i» away. ' Tiif II she shut Ler eyes aid want, or pre- t?iided to go, to sleep, and I looked at her aid thought what an unpleasant psrton she wa-^, uutii the hollows in her face and the suffering expression about her mouth touch- ed ir.e. Why did she shut herself up and persis' in being miserable, inftead of re- turtiiug her husband's love and chffnging the raelaccholy Alders into the cheerful, bright piaca it might be I spent a dull day for, when 1 went to see Haide-e, Mrs. Rayner instantly lett the room, aad 1 could not help seeing that it was to avoid me so I was obliged to resist the sick child's entreaties for me to stay, and to go back and wander by myself about the houie and garden, too nuterble in my thoughts about Laurence and his crael de- sertion of me to be able to read or work. At tea-time Mrs. Rayner did not appear. Sarah said that Haidee was worse, and that her mother would not leave her. The even- ing was very cold, and, as Mrs. Rayner had rather ostentatiously told Jane to light iMisa Christie's fire diiectly after dinner, I went up to my own room as soon as I had finish- ed tea, and sat on the hetrthrug, and nurs- ed my sorrow where at least I could be warm. It was about seven o'clock when Jane came up to say that Haidee was worse, and was crying out for me "I think she is going to die, misc â€" I do indeed," said kind little Jane sobbing. "They won't let me m there but I've been listening, for Mr. Rayner's away, and Sirah's out, and I don't care not that much for Mrs. Rayner " â€" and she Enapped her fingers contemptuously. "I heard Miss Haif- dee a calling fcr you, miss and I don't be- lieve she knows whai ahe'a saying, poor little dear, and they ought to send for a doctor but I don't suppose they will. Sarah don't care, and Mrs Rayner, don't dare â€" that's about it, miss." And Jane gave me a nod and an express- ive look as I went out of the room with her, I knew the servants, one and all, looked upon their mistress as a pocr-spirited thirg while they had some admiration and a great deal of respect for tbeir master. The few orders she gave Ihey filled in a spir t of condescension e r neglected alto- gether, while a word from him acted like a spell upon any one of them. Thus, hebavingordered thatMrs. Rayner, being an invalid, was not to be diatarbed by sweepings, and dusting's, and noises in the passage leading to her room, no menaber of the household ever dar«d to enter the left wing bat Sarah, who had charge of the long coiridor, bed-rocm, dreasinf-room, snd store room which it containsd, althoagh it was abut out from the reat of the honae merely by a heavy baize- covered awm^- ^or with only a bolt, which waa seldom, 1 Wfelieve, draw;n in the daytime. So that Jane felt like a heroine after having ven- tured en the other side of that door and, when we came to it, the stood looking first at it and then at me, as if to touch it again was more than ehe dared. "Oh, miss," said she, as I stepped for- ward to go through, "suppose Mr. Rayner was in there?" "But Mr. Rayner is in London" returned I, laughing. "Ah, yes, miss! Bat be do come la k that sudden sometimes he might be a ghost. Of course it's all right for you, miss but, if he was to know I'd been in there, oh, miss, I should die o' fright When he's angry, he just speaks fit to cut yer head off.' I laughed at Jane's fe ars, and pushed open the door, not without difficulty, for it was very heavy, and, Jane's courage having eva- porated, she dared not help me. My teeth chattered as I went through this passage, it waa so cold and what was my surprise to find, when I got to the end, that the win- dow had been left open on this chilly, and wet October evening I took the liberty of Ehutting it, and, returning to the dressing- room door, I tapped softly at it. I could hear Haidee's voice, but I could not hear what she said, and Mrs. Rayner was sobbing and calling her by name. I went in softly, aad with a shriek the mother started up from her knees she had been on the floor beside the bed. Haidee knew me, though her cheeks were flushed and her eyes bright with fever, and she wander ad in her talk. I sat on the bed and tried to make her lie down and keep the clothes over her, for the room was as cold as the corridor. Mrs. Rayner was clinging to the rail at the bot- tom of the little bed and watching me with eyes as glitterirg as the child's. I felt just a little tremor ot fear. Had I trusted my- self alcne with a sick child and a madwo- man on the verge of an outbreak of fury Her bosom heaved and her hands clutched the rail tightly as she saidâ€" "What right have you to come here Are you not snug and warm up-stairs in your turret Why must you come and exult over me You were welcome to my hus- band. Then you took my child. Can you not spare her to me now she is dy- ing?" I had heard that one must always talk to mad people as if one thought them aane ao I said â€" "Xot dying, Mrs. Rayner don't say that. I came dowa jast to see if I could be of any use. Why don't you take her into your own warm room It is so cold in here. And wouldn't it be better to send in for Dr. Maftland Oh, 1 forgot 1 He is away. Bat you might send Sam to Beacons- burg for Dr. Lowe." Her manner changed. As she looked at me, all the anger, all the little gust of de- fiance faded out of her great eyes, and she fell to sobbing and whispering â€" â-  " I dare not â€" I dare not " " May I take her into your room, Mrs. Rayner?" "No no.' ' Then, if you will allow me, I will take her up into mine. You won't mind her be ing 60 far away from you, if you know it is better for her, will you " said I persuasive- ly. "It is so beautifully warm up there that it won't matter if she throws the clothes off her, as she can't help doing, poor little thing and I'll wrap her up well, so that she snail not take cold on the way." Mrs. Rayner stared at me helplessly. "Will you dare " she asked fearfully. "Certainly, with your permission." "You know very well that my permis- sion is nothing," sobbed she. "And I don't wonder, you poor spiritless thing ' I thought to myself. But I waa very sorry for her and I asked if she would like to have my room for the night, to be near the child. But she was frightened at the idea so I wrapped the child up well in a blanket, thinking I would pat her in my own bed until her little one could be taken up- stairs. I was rather frightenad myself at the thought of giving such an order to the awful Sara'h, and, just as I waa debating with myself whether she would be likely to obey it, she entered the room, I attacked her at once. "Sarah, I want you to bring Miss Haidee's bed up into my room, if you pleaae. This is too cold for her. Jane can help you if it is too heavy." She teamed not to be quite sure whether to be insolent or submissive. Siie decided' for the former. ' Aid by what authority, mips, do you give orders for moving around the furni- ture " "Your miatresa wiahea it to be dene." "My mistress And pray who is that, miss " "You know â€" Mra. Rayner." "And is that all the authority you have, miss " "No," said I boldly "more than that â€" Mr. Rayner " The women both started, and Sarah took up the bed and without a word went out of the room. I turned to Mra. Rayner. "Don't be alarmed about Haidee," I taid gently. "I'll take great care of her. And, if you will juat give your consent, I will send for a doctor on my own rdsponsibil- ity." The poor thing stooped and kissed one of the hands I held round the child. "Heaven bless you. Miss Ctiriatie I" she murmured and, turning away, ahe sank down upon an empty spacs where the bed bad been, and burst into a flood of tears. She would not listen to the few incoherent words I said to comfort her and I was ob- liged to leave the room with tear^ in my eyes, and carry my patient up trtairs. I could not go very fast, for the burden wa? rather heavy for a small woman like me and by the time I got up-stairs the bed was ready, and Sarah had disappeared. And now how to get a doctor? Fori waa seriously alarmed aboat the child. To expect any more help from barah was out of the question. I went down to the nursery, called Jane, who was just going to bed, and aked her where S am slept. "In the villai^e," said she. No'oody sle(t at the stables now that Mr. Rayner was away, except the old gardener, who would certainly never reach Beacons- burg befcre daybreak if I sent him out at nine o'clock at night. Ja«e waa too young to be aent all that way alone at night, the cook too old. There was cnlyone thing to be done I most go myself. "Uo and ask cook, if ahe is not asleep, to 1 nd me her big round water proof ol'ak, Jane," aaid I, "and bring me one of Miaa Haidee's Shetland veila." She ran away, astonished, to fetch them; and then, seeing I was in earnest, she help- ed quickly and well to make me as like a middle-aged countrywoman as possible by buttoning my oloak, fastening a garden-hat round my head like a poke- bonnet, and at- taching my veil to it. Then ahe tied up my umbrella like a marketrwoman's, and let me out, giggling a little at my appear- ance, but promising faithfully not to leave Haidee till my return, and to "stand up to Sallie" if she interfered. I felt rather fhghtened at the boldness of my undertaking as I heard the hall door close upon me, and I realised that I had no- thing in the world but my umbrella and my wits to protect me all the long three miles and a half of read to Beaconsbarg. The moon was at the second quarter, but did not give much light, for it was a cloudy night, raining now and then. I was not sorry for this, as I waa the less likely to be recognis- ed, and it was not the aort of weather to encourage late loiterers. I passed two or three villagers, only one of whom walked un- steadily but none of them took any notice of me and I had got past the last of the Geldham cottages, and on to a piece of straight road up a hill, where there waa no houses in sight, when I heard the sounds of a vehicle coming along at a good pace be- hind me. It slackened to come up the hill, and I, to keep up my character, bent over my umbrella and walked more slowly. Bat thia subterfuge had an undeaired effect. "Hallo, my good woman 1 Would you like a lift up the hill " cried the driver and my heart leapt up, for it waa Laurence's voice. In a moment I felt like a different wo- man my blood aeemed dancing for joy, my pulses beat more quickly, and the spirit of miachief came into me so that I wanted to laugh aloud. "Ay, ay I" I grunted out slowly and. waiting until the cart came up to me, I climbed with his help and with seeming dif- ficulty, carefully keeping my cloak over my hands, on to the seat by hia side. "All right " said he and again I grunted "Ay, ay 1" and on we went. Oh, how happy I felt to be again by his side But it was rather hard not to be able to take the hand that was nearest to me, and neatle up to his shoulder, and tell him how miserable I had been since last night, when he had rushed away with the dreadful threat of not seeing me again. Well, now he should see me again bh could not help himself. I felt rather nervous as to what he would say when I did discover myself. Was he still angry Would he insist upon getting down and going the rest of the way on foot Or would he say more unkind things to me Or would he be pleaaed to aee me, and forgive me He was not in a very conversational mood, Waa he thinking of me, I wondered, or waa it only that in my diaguise I did not promise to prove an entertaining companion? He asked me if I was going to Baaconaburg, and I said "Ay, ay " again. I knew very well that a real countrywoman would not say "Ay, ay 1" and I wai aurpriaed that it did not atrike Laurence himself as a atrange sort of answer. I beran to get impatient for him to know me. I looked at him furtively he waa evi- dently not at all curioua or interested about his companion. But he looked very grave and thoughtful and presently, te my ex- ceeding comfort, ne pulled down over hia wriats two little uncomfortable woollen cuffs that I had made, that he had bought of me at the sale. I remembered them quite well, we had had a struggle to get theui over his wrists, as I had made them a convenient size, too large for a woman and too small for a man. It seemed to me that he handled them lovingly. Upon this encouragement I spoke. "Aren't you going to talk " said I in my natural voice. We had passed the hill, and were going along at a good pac2 but he gave the reins such a jerk that the horse stopped. "You won't be cross with me again, will you?" said I, anxious to p'edt?e him to good temper while he was in the firjt flush of his joy at meeting me for it was joy. He slipped the reins into hia right hand, and put his other aim around me and kissed me, Shetland veil and all. And so we made it up without a word of explanation. I told him my errand, aad he told me his. His father had gone up to town that day to arrange for the disposal of some shares in order to purchase a farm fcr Laurence a few miles off, which was to be stocked, ac- cording to his promise, while hia son was away. He waa to retura by train which reached Beaconsburg about ten o'clock, and Laurence was on hia way to meet him. "W'e will call at Dr. Lowe's first, and then you shall go on with me to the station and see my father," said he. I protested a little that I ought to go back with the doctor but of course he carried hia point. "What do you want a farm for, Laur- ence " I asked, as we waited outside the • station. I remained in the cart holding the reina, for fear my quiet appearance should excite curiosity regarding young Mr. Reada's com- panion if I got out and went into the sta- tion with him. But he stood by my side holding my hand under my cloak while we talked in a low voice. "What do I want a farm for Why to have a home for you and a something to live en, of course I know something about farming, and it doesn't matter if I do lose a little juat at first." "But why did you want to goon preparing a home for an 'accomplished coquette,' whom you said last night you were aever going to see again " "One isn't always answerable for what one says to a tormenting little witch like you, 'said Laurence, laughing. '-You did'nt suppose I was really never going to see you again, now did you " "I shouldn't have cared," said I, "Ah, I was right aboat the coquetry I You wouldn't have told such a atory before you went to Denham Court. I was cpminp to aee you to-morrow evening. I've had to be away all to-day over at Liwley, and I have to be there agam to-morrow with my father but in the evening I shall call at the Alders and ask boldly for Miss[Cbrl8ti.e S3 miod you are not out." "I shall not promiae." "And we will have a good long ta'k to- gathi r, since, thank Heaven, Mr. Btjner is away and I will give yoa an addrecs where a lettf r will reach me. We were so intent upon our oonvtrsation that I did not notice that there waa a man atanding very near us during the last part of it. Aa l^urence finished speaking, he turned his head, and suddenly became aware that the train had coii.e in while we were talking. "By Jovel Wait fcr me, darling," 'he cried hastily, and then dashed off su quickly that he ran against the man, who was dressed like a navvy, and knocked his hat cff. When he returned with his father, who greeted me very kindly, he looked pale and anxious. "Do you know who that man waa I ran against " be whispered, "That navvy V "It was no navvy. It was Mr. Rayner." "Laurence 1" said I, incredaoosly. "I tell you it waaâ€" I swear it What was he doing, skulking about in that get- up? He came down by thia train. He must have overheard what we were i ay ing. Now irark what I say, Violet â€" I shail not see you again." "But Laurence, how could he prevent it 7 You will come to the house and aek for me II "Listen, "Violet," he interrupted. "If you do not see me to-morrow night before seven o'clock, be at your 'nest' without fail at half -past." "Very well, I will, Laurence â€" I will. I promise," But nothing would reaosure him. "I tell you it will be of no use, my dar- ling â€" of no use. We must say good-bye to- night, for I ahall not aee you again " CHAPTER XX. Daring the whole of the drive back to Geldham it was old Mr. Rsade who talked to me, and'not Laurence, who drove along, silent and grave, pulling my cloak affection- ately up to my throat every now and then, and watching me as I talked to hia father, but acarcely apeaking himself at all. When we got to the gate of the Alders, he jumped out, carefully lifted me down, and, telling his father to e^rive on home, as he would walk the reat of the way, he came inaide of the gate with me. "Viole,t," he said very gravely, "I am afraid I have been foolish in agreeing to my father's wishes, and lam more anxious about you than I can tell. The Alders is no fit place for you. I can see quite well now what I could not when I was blinded by my passion la^t night, that you are ao good and innocent that evil aeema to have no power over you but yet And â€" and it is jnat that which makes you ao sweet aad I don't want to spoil it, opening your eyes, and all that." He was playing nervously with my hand, holding it against his breast, and looking into my eyes so miserably, poor fellow 1 "Look here, Violet " said he sud- denly, aa if atruck by a happy thought. "If any man, while I am away, tella you you are nice, and triea to make you think he is very fond of you â€" no matter who it is â€" Mr. Rayner or â€" or my father, or any other man â€" don't take any notice, and don't be- lieve them." Bat poor Laurence was more innocent than I if he thought I did not know what he meant. He was jealous of Mr. Rayner, and I could not perauade him how absurd it was. 1 said, "Very well, Liurence " but he was not satisfied. Hs went on trying to justify himself â€" not to me â€" he wanted no justification in my eyes â€" but to himself. "What could I do, when my old dad of- fered to do so much for me, but let him have his way But it was wrong, I knoiv. Oar engagement ought to have been open from the first and his weakness in not daring to face my mother was no ^^orse than mine in giving way to him. And now I am tortur- ed lest my weakness should be visited on you, child for I cannot even write to you openly, and, if I enc'ose letters to you to my dear olc. blundering dad, you will cer- tainly never get them." 'Why not send them to Mrs. Manners, Laurence Then they would be quite safe. And you don't mind her knowing, do you? I think she guesses aomething already," faid I, smiling, remembering how she sent me to the gate to meet him on the previoua Friday evening, the very night he Mrat told me he loved me. He caught at the auggestioa eagerly, "That ia a capital idea darling 1 I'll go to her before breakfast to-morrow morning aad ask her to look after you as much aa ahe can while I am away, 1 don't think she is very fond of my sistersâ€" I wish they were nicer for your sake, darling, especially Maud. I wish some one would marry her but no one is such a fool." "Oh, Laurence, she it your sister I" "I caa'thelp that I wish I could. Alice, the little one, isn't half so bad it is only being with ivlaud that spoils her. If you over get Alice alona, you will find her quite nice." I had already had proof of that, and I told him so. ' Bat one can't confide in her, because she would tell everything to Maud, and Maud to my mother. You have no idea what the tyranny ot those two women are like my father dreads and I avoid them. My mother thinks she holds my destiny in her hand but ahe is mistaken and within the next six weeks she must find it out for if she wishes to stay abroad longer, she will have to stay alone. By the third week in November I shall ba back in England, and before the month is out you must be my wife, my darling."

It was y^W this truth in mind that the writer set om to call upon the man, about whom tW politicians were so earnestly talking, at w spacious residence on Turtle street. Mr. Alvord, who has been and is, famjij arly known as " Old Salt," owing to hisad^ vooacy of the salt interest, is now well advanced in years, being on the shaiy sijf of seventy.

It waa during tne year ISSl. while Mi, Alvord was a member of the Assembly i; Albany, that he first began to feel, mos;; peculiar sensations. At that time he waiji in the midst of very important work, wkic: was seriously interfared with by reason r; the mysteriona troubles which seemed t; assail him. H? felt unaccountable nause; almost constaitly, accompanied byoccisiot al violent retchings.

I a speat ing on this subject to the writer, Mr. Alvort said " This same bitter experience came t3 m again in 1S82 while I was a member of tiu Assembly, with symptoms identical to thosf 1 had felt the year before.
