A slight shade of annoyance passed over

He did not further state that he had remained
in private with her for nearly two hours and
that when he left the house ho carried iu his
pocket a cheque signed by her, for one thou

Luckily for Mr. Sniff, neither of the editors
was a curious man, so he was not called upon
for further explanations. Had Tom been
present Mr. Sniff would either have remained
perfectly silent or he would have been placed
in an awkward predicament, for Mrs. Lauder
had told him of her interview with Tom.
[to be continued.]
She bad taken ofl mourning some time i
before, her mother having "been dead lor over
eighteen month?, and looked quite pretty in j ,
the bine dress she wore, made high and fit- ; ,, j
ting close about the neck, where it was
lastened by a plain gold brooch. Relaxation
from the fatigue of attending upon an invalid
had restored the color to her face long since,
and now the rosy cheeks contrasted charm
ingly with the dear white face.
Charley gave her the letters—one for her
and the other for Mittie, but before she read
hers he mentioned when Marcel would arrive.
He saw, with a pang, that she was pleased
with the intelligence. He had tried to, but
he had not ceased loving her. The nearer
the boor approached when another would
arrive to claim her as his wife, he felt his
passion increase. And she saw it too—saw it
with regret, in his every act and look, even
though his life had not breathed another
word of affection to her. The most exquisite
ofjpain is that caused by unrequitted affection,
and Charley felt it. For a man to love a
woman, or for a woman to love a man, with
out reciprocation by the one or the other,
promptly; but that was not what he intended
»y-
Oh, pshaw ! ’ said Charley, alter a mo
ment's silence, “ I know what made him go
there. Koppered is administrator of Mrs.
Carroll’s estate, and Mrs. Lander is the guar
dian of the girls. I suppose he sent 8niff to
her on business.”
“Never thought of that,” remarked Tom
thoughtfully. “May be so. Will watch him,
though,” he added, as he walked to his room
a few minutes later. “Sniff will do anything
for money, so that it wont, put him in prison.
Don’t like for him and that woman to meet.
Hope they haven’t been plotting anything
against Marcel. Will watch Sniff,” he re
flected. “ D—n me, if Tom Snickers don't.”
The next morning Charley and Tom return
ed to Goram, when the former informed his
father of his intended departure for Europe.

in the city.
He speut the same evening at Mr. Frad-;

gentleman and Mr. Greenmount at the office
of the Kepeater by appointment. Mr. Sniff
wag present too. He hat^the same morning
given Mr. Koppered notice of hie intention to
retire from his employment.
There was very little to do in the way of a
settlement, for ,the property had been ad
mirably managed, in spite of the bickerings
of the two editors. Except during his resi
dence abroad, less than one-third of the an
nual inceme of the estate had been expended,
so that above the appraised value of all that
Mr. Henry Van Dusen had left to their care,
the guardians exhibited securities represent
ing nearly three hundred thousand dollars,
which made the fortune of Marcel amount to
nearly seven hundred thsnsand dollars.
Everything connected with the manage
ment of the estate was explained to Marcel,
who expressed himself satisfied with what had
been done.
“But what does this legsey of thirty thou
sand dollars meau?" he asked. “You say
it has never been paid. How is that ?"
Mr. Fradden looted at Mr. Greenmount as
if to ask him to answer the question.
••Tnat was a sum which your father be
queathed to an illegitimate child of his,” re
plied the Philosopher, bluntly. “Mr. Van
Dusen had had some intimacy with its mother
and it was the fruit. We could not learn what
bad become of it for a loog time, and even
when we did it was not stated whether the
child was a boy or a girl. In fact I don’t be

That is singular," remarked Marcel.

Mr. /Ireenmount returned. “Your father

that be was drifting into the winter of his
life—drifting, too, from midsummer, as old
mother earth never did. And the same deso
lation which was presaged in every withered
leaf that lay upon tbe ground was presaged
in his heart !
He grasped tbe hand he held in his, and
pressed it to his lips.
“We say farewell here, for many years at
least,” he said “perhaps, lorever. You have

in accepting the challenge, just as he did in
taking up the woman.”
“Well, but what beeeme of the child? Why
has not the legacy been paid ?” asked Marcel
somewhat impatiently. And he added, “Of
course I will be ready to pay it whenever it is
claimed. I do hope, though, that no course
or vulgar man or woman will turn up and
claim relationship with me.”
As he 6poke he gave a little gesture of dis
gust at tbe idea of his illegitimate relation
ever claiming him as a brother.
“You needn’t trouble yourself about tnat,”
said Mr. Greenmount. “The child, whatever
it was, died while young. The mother lived

of the lip, and calm language spoken with

of youth had departed, and so complete was
the resemblance to tbe dead, that when he
stepped out of tLc cabi n to greet his friends,
all started suddenly, as if tbe apparition of
Henry Van Dusen confronted them with out
stretched band.
Marcel received his quasi-guardians with
pleasure, and also displayed a sort of conde
scending kindness to Mr. Sniff, when that
gentleman approached him to offer his con
gratulations at the safe return of his young
acquaintance (he did not say friend, then) to
