Chapter Laughing, and out of breath, Nora ran around to put me and my seat between her and her little pursuer, ; and then—laughing so irresistably that I tor oue, joined in like any child—she dodged round and round me, until he grew obstreperous, in his glad excitement. Then slip sur¬ rendered, and, allowing herself to be caught by Willie’s eager little hands, dropped the long white dress which she had held around her as she ran, and sat down at my feet upon ike terrace steps. Willie—unwilling to release his captive—held r,er around the neck from behind, and pressed unmercifully l;er lately dressed hair. Tev drew back with eyebrows raised. Whether Nora saw it or sot, I do not know; she only turned and whis¬ pered mysteriously to Willie that Charity was come, and “he must not keep her out or she would get a chill, because there was so little warmth about her.” “Mr. Willie, it seems so use to dress you now,” began Charity, in a voice of most respectful emphasis. “You have been into the yards again, sir. Please come to your tea.” I could see that Nora was quietly holding him back by his tunic; but she looked perfectly unconscious of either his presence or Charity’s. I could not help laughing a little, though I felt sorry that the gir should always do these rebellious tilings before Tev. “Come, sir, please,” said Charity again, more'emphatically. But still Nora held him, while Tev’s eyes darkened rather* angrily. “Willie, $gar,”£uiunnured Reby, Leading and kissing his hot’ little forehead, “you will not keep Charity waiting longer, will you?” Still Nora held him, and still she looked away over the lake, as if she did not know he was there. And Tev’s lips were tight, and I—I could not venture to speak for fear of la igl 1 g. Softly bending lower still, Rel y took the child’s hand and drew him away, loading him with a smile to his nurse. And Nor* having let him go, heaved a great sigh as if she had been defeated in a high moral pur¬ “I wonder who detained Willie when his nurse wished for lum, Nt- ra, dear,” observed Reby. “Do you?- 4 rejoined Nora, with comic astonishment. “Why?” ‘ Because you ought not to do so." “Oh! but I must. That specimen of charity is a a perfect Frankenstein to me. Have you read ‘Franken- stein,’ Aunt Bona?” She tossed back her dishevelled head rather carelessly at me, and when I told her that i knew that very uncomfortable story, she laugh¬ ed heartily. “Then don’t you think that nurse is just such a haunting incubus as Frankenstein?” “Hush, Nora dear,” interposed Re¬ by, quietly, “this is hardly fair for Charity. I like her, because she is so unremitting in her watchfulness over dear little Willie.” “Meet unremitting; watchful—as a basahsk,” rejoined Nora, impatiently, as she rose. Tev ro»e, too, a little unwouteu pride in the gesture. “The grounds about here so dan¬ gerously border the lake,’ he said, “that it is necessary for some oue to be- unremitting in keeping watch over the child.” “Cauldu’t he have a body-guard only?” ^laughed Nora, petulantly, “without a perpetual sentinel in Ins path?” “If I think Charity’s vigilant* nec- and Aunt liona does, too, ’ esuary,--------, added Tev, toning down hi* hot re- ply by the reference- to me, “f hope w ill not blank me for not heed- JASPER, GEORGIA, THURSDAY JANUARY 15, 1891. ' n £ y° ur prejudices, Nora.” “1 do,” she answered, a flash *’ti her eves, which seemed to me half- real pain; “but, then, I have don*? o for sucli a long lime that tlm sensa¬ tion, however distressing to you, cannot be new.” “Will you go in and smooth, your hair a little, Nora, dear?” asked Reby thoughtfully, as ws turned to the house. You will just have lime be¬ fore the bell rings.” “I should not,” replied NoraJ de¬ liberately; “for that automaton of a butler would ring exactly wkAi I had taken my hair all down. ... I*'be¬ lieve he has made an arrangement with himself to circumvent mo a* ev¬ ery opportunity by summoning me to meals whenever I am uot ready.” “My servants all seem to be un¬ fortunate enough to dissatisfy you,” remarked Tev, without glancing at her, as he sauntered on at Roby’s side; “I am sorry I cannot feci in¬ clined to dismiss them, as you would do under thcr circumstances.” “Oh! surely, Nora, dear,” began Reby, in her soft, deprecating voire, “you would not, in Tev’s place, dis¬ miss the faithful, valued o'-l ser¬ vants?” “They are not faithful'to me; they are of no value to me,” answered the girl, with a quick impatience' that was not all cstrelassne.ss; “so I would dismiss every one, and have nothing but colossal young footmen in cana¬ ry and beautiful young maids in blue, that would make the NervantVhall a cheerful picture gallery. And 1 .would take-all the visitor* f> ace that, as Tor's fo-'ril house-keeper takes visitors to see that- -ar“opha- gns she calls the picture gallery.” “Oh! Nora, Nora,” pleaded Roby, “you are so heedless of whj. you saY. Aunt Bona, please do stop her.” Nora bent her face to mine, her eyes brimming over with laughter. 1 kissed the ironical lips involuntari¬ ly; but, strange to say, though [ of¬ ten regretted her random, artificial words, I never cared to stop her. Dearly as I longed for Tev to love her, I knev/ that, if he did so he must- love her ar she was, for I could see that she would not, through that whole visit, show herself to him save in this careless mood. “There’s the bell!” cxclamed No¬ ra, as vo, reached the hall. “I am so glad that 1 have no time for fur¬ ther adornment.” “You will vex poor mamma, 1 fear,” her sister whispered, not quite aloud. “Not I, so long as her faultless eldest daughter sits opposite her; be¬ sides, Timpound to vex her now and then, or she would forget my very existence.” There was a strange under-citrrei t of regret in the light voice which made me look searehingly into her face, to see how much of this she meant; but the' dark, restless eyes, which were so hard to understand, had wandered to Tev’s face, and were watching,- in simple amusement, the glance of admiration w ith which lie followed her sister’s elegant, glid¬ ing figure*, and Lfeit put out for the whole evening. It was a very un¬ grateful feeling, i know, because l had no pain to bear; but some little things will put me out, however much 1 try not to let them. £ f J'he girls and i wer ■ p 'yu-g quet. 1 (who kno v nothing at - * of tiie game, ;ui-l never should p ay it if i did) was but a* tui silling pari ner to-Nvra, who had determuied that she and i should beat Reby, v, * () ; plajed vvjth two balls. I w«s just ! thinking how differently she- played ,i from her usual quiet, skillful rnsn- ner, when Tev came up to us. \Ve J all turned to wait fur him, even No- , ru. _ N Willm? ...... he , . “.Where Hm sudden question (.startled us. all-a little, though the next inometfl, we felt inclined to laugh at it. “Sure to be with Charity,” haid Nora, carelessly. “He is scarcely over away from her.” “I have not soon him since lunch,” I said. “We left them playitig in.the gar¬ den When we wont *0 drive,”' added Reby, with a gentle anxiety in her face. “Why should, you he alarmed?’’ “Because 1 met. Charity at the park gates 1 tolling t'ov him,” said Tcv, evidently pleased at the sympa¬ thy she showed; “and it has , made me foolishly nervous, I suppose. 1 will go and seek him.” “So will I,” returned Roby, readi¬ ly; “J, too, shall not be happy until he is found. He was quite safe when wc went, so I hope you will not make yourself anxious.” “Tev doesn’t deserve to live on a magnificent lough,” aaid Nora, throw¬ ing away her ball; “it-is a perpetual nightmare to him.” “It is very shallork just here, is : t not?” inquired Ruby, her face full of real concern.” “Yes, just here below the garden, ’ answered Tev, quietly; “but- there are . pots in the grounds below where it Hows deep and lira ■herons—I showed you one of them, you remem¬ ber—and the remembrance of these placas is, as Nora somewhat strong¬ ly expresses it, a perpetual nightmare to me.” “No wonder,” said lveby, with a little shudder. “Let us all go and seek Willie”. She and Tev walked away toget! - er, while Nora stood against the groat Cedar, idly watching them. But when the had seen tkmit’; sepa¬ rate and turn out of sight, she start¬ ed up, her d;.rk eyes all aflame.. •‘Aunt Bona, where is the boy?” she cried. “Oh, where is be?” “My dear,” I'said.’a little amused, and a good deal astonished, “yog .are at bad as Tev. I believe Charity hae found him before now. He of¬ ten tries te elude her, but never suc¬ ceeds for. many minutes together, un¬ less, of course, lie is with Tev, or with us.” “1 don’t think Charity has torn d him,” replied Nora, in a low, pained voice. And then, wit lotft another word, she sped along the park and disappeared among the trees. I felt nervous and unco ufortable myse'f, though 1 could not understand any reason for the feeling; an.I I, too, strolled restlessly towards the lake. Half an hour after we had ieft the croquet ground, the bell summoned us to dinner, and, more for the sake ot questioning each other than for anything else, 1 think, we gathered in the hall. Tev, still in his morn¬ ing dress, hurried in from the out¬ buildings, his face dark and troubled. Mrs. Elliott came down stairs, ask¬ ing a hundred different questions at Once. Reby entered, flushed and tired, and stood at the window, cry¬ ing quietly. Nora never appeared at all. One or two of us made a pretence of eating, but Ter could not; and, with a voice that shook, despite his effort to check it, he begged us t > pardon him’, and at once went out a*rain. Reby, throwing a light cloak over her shoulders, strolled out up- os the terrace, %nd walked restlessly to an ! fro.
