signalize our meeting by any unneces
sary act to give you pain. In some re
spects. I am not myth like other mtn,
dear Maud. I do not pronounce an
irrevocable sentence oi separation be
tween yourseli and your young lover."
Maud started, clasped hi* hand con
vulsively. and pressed it to her lips.
"Certainly not. my dear: I do not
banish him. First, let him deserve my
Maud, and he shall have her! H his
affection for her is a high and holy
sentiment, it will make him worthy of
her. Come, now, I wonder wh- you
weep! What is it you want? Tell
me I *
"Oh, sir, 1 want—1 want to go back
to Falconer! I only want to see how
he is. and say a comforting word to
him. and take leave oi him kindly, as
I ought—I, that hare been his com
forter ever since wc were children! Oh. I know he is so wretched al thi*
moment! Ye*! there beat* no heart on
earth a* miserable as hi* is at this very
moment! 1 know he would give any-
thig for the sight oi my face! Oh, sir,
let us turn back and say a kind word
to him!”
"It may not be. my child. It would
do no good, but rather harm. He does
not want words. All he wants now i*
my Maud, and he cannot have her yet;
he must conquer himself; he must
change; he must deserve her before he
get* her” . , ,
“Oh. sir, if you did but know him as
I know him; how much he need* sooth
ing kindness, how impetuous he J*
how wild, how ungovernable he is, how
often unhappy, how much he need* me
—he ha* been used to me all hi* life—
he cannot do without me I Oh, I know
he cannot, poor Falconer! Oh, he will
feel like half hi* being was stricken off
with me! I know he will! he will be ill
—1 am sure he will be ill! Oh. sir, let
us go back and sec him!"
"It cannot be. my lore! You must
trust in your father’s judgment, little
one! »Thi* young man’s furious pas

selves quiet, and then hi* reason
will act! He will suffer, doubtless!
But then, it is only through suffering
that such natures as hi* can be cor

not quarrel with the discipline of life!"
“If he had only some one to be kind
to him. poor boy! to comfort and cheer
him. a* I used to! If he were not so
utterly alone—*u desolate—no mother —no sister—no one to care for him!
Oh. poor boy! if he had only some one

“1 will care for him—I will be land

my dear child! I shall not lose sight
of him. I will endeavor to do far bet

Come, now; dry those sweet eye*!—
cheer up, and let me see you smile!
Think of the mother you are about to

“And I am her lo»t Maud—bow
strange! I ought to be very much sur
prised. and yet I am not!“
”1 think, my love, that the ties of
blood were so strong in our case that
wc all felt an incomprehensible, un
accountable attraction to each other.”
“Yes. ye*, ye*, sir* said Maud, softly,
to herself, and then she sank into a
silence that her father would not in

to release my daughter; foe if I have
to force you to do it. you shall suffe)

"NeverI She I* my wife! Off, sir, I
say, or do you take the consequences I" exclaimed the madman, and. still hold
ing Maud in a tight grip with his left
arm, he put hi* right. hand in his
bosom and drew out a pistol
“Oh. Falconer!" shrieked Maud, and
she fainted away.
Daniel Hunter instantly closed upon
him. and having both hands free, soon
overmastered him, and wrested from
his hand the pistol. He threw the
weapon at a distance, and received his
tainting daughter in his arms, just ar
an officer, reaching the spot, arrested
Falconer O’Leary.
Daniel Hunter bore his daughter into
the vestry-room, where, prompt assist
ance being rendered, she soon recov
ered. Mr. Lovel was present, looking
very anxious.
"Is the carriage from Howlct Hall
here, sir?" inquired Mr. Hunter.
“It is. sir. We eame in it” answered
Mr. Lore!.
“In that case. I will enter it with my
d^ighter, and return at once to the
Hall I will send it back for you and
Lucy. It shall be here by the close of
the morning service."
"Do not trouble yourself. Mr. Hun
ter ; we can easily remain in the village
until evening, and dine at the hotel.”
“By no means; you shall have the
carriage in time, and you must join me
at dinner.""Very well, then, as you please; in
the meantime. I shall endeavor to hold
my curiosity in check until you can
give me an explanation of this strange
piece of family history."
"My dear Lovel. Dr. Channing I
think it was who *aid. ’the true great
ness of human life is almost always out
of sight.’ I can say the real romance
of life is often quite invisible! We
know of the life-history of the com
mon-place people about us, but how
very much the reverse of common
place they might seem! But more of
this another time."“Shall 1 call the carriage for you?"
’ 1 thank you—n you please."
Mr. Lovel went out, and Daniel
Hunter, leading hi* feeble, pale, trem
bling child, followed. The carriage
drew up to the door, and Mr. Hunter
placed Maud in. and was about to fol
low her. when he paused, drew Mr.
Lovel aside, and asked:
"What has been done with that,
madman?"
"O’Leary? He is taken into cus
tody."“Get him set at liberty immediately.

can I depend upon you? Will you at

“Yes. after morning service; there u

the carriage, and giving the order for
it to move.

“Ye*, sir. dey's gone to church to be

"Good Heaven! and I have befti

“'Deca; sir, 1 didn't know as you

"Concerned in knowing it! She is

Mr. Lovel concluded the opening ser

Fakbncr sent a message to him by a

Mr. Lovel came down and met the
young pair, and shook hand* with them,
and when Falconer explained the busi

looked surprised, amused, and turned
such a quizzical glance upon Sylvia,
that the maiden blushed and dropped
her eye*."Ycs, certainly," he said, "always
very happy to make others happy. Oh,
