Tu oho of tho moat, celebrated hunting shires iir the “Midlands,” stood tho nnoesstrill scut of Sir Arthur Mordaunt; hut tho scene of our tale lies at a handsome and commodious modern-built hun ting lodge which stood on the borders ot’the park and high road. .It hud been erected by the fath er of tho present young baronet, us a sort of spare mansion in which to lodge the numerous bachelor acquaintances whom his position ns Master of the Py tell ley Hounds, and his unbounded hos pitality, led him to entertain dur ing the hunting season. The restricted size of the old Manor House, which had been the family dwelling for centuries, pre cluded any extraordinary sleeping accommodation within its ancient walls; and its former master stern ly set his face against any new fangled alterations or enlarge ments, this extension of the house hold capabilities became u iieocos- sttry consequence. It stood only a few hundred yards from the Hall,and was flank ed by a small ivy colored cottage that bad served as tho gate-lodge to the estate from time immemo rial. At the opening of our story a tall middle-aged, military-looking gentleman lqtd just presented hint- self tit the entrance from the high road, and was being admitted to the Park by a very pretty young woman, at that moment happened to be coming out from the front- gate of the bunting-lodge with a letter in her band. ‘I believe this is the entrance to the Manor House, at which Hir Arthur Mordaunt resides V said lie. ‘This is Sir Arthur’s place, sir; but lie don’t live at the Manor House,’ replied she. ‘What V ‘Not now, sir,’ marking tli ‘now’ very emphatically. ‘How Jong baa he removed ?’ ‘Nearly a month, sir; lie lives in this hunting-lodge.’ ‘What a strange fancy V thought the visitor. At this juncture the young bar onet entered from the lodge. ‘Well, why are you staying gossiping there V said he, with impatience. ‘I was only answering this gen tleman who inquired for you, sir ‘A gentleman inquiring for me, eh J Good gracious, my dear un cle J’ exclaimed the young baronet, eagerly advancing and shakin hands with the visitor, who ro Lirned tine /yJntaAion vy-Rh affee- tUm ate cordiality, '‘Yes; here I am at last. Arthur.’ ‘ITow delighted I am to see you once more ! But excuse me one moment. Go along, Fanny. Why are you waiting here ? Take my letter, directly ! Be quick ubout it!’ ‘I won’t let the grass grow un der my feet, Sir Arthur, don’t you bo afraid,’ replied she os, she ran oft up the drive which led to the Manor House. ‘Well, my dear hoy,’ said Col onel Mordaunt, ‘though my mil itary duties havo kept mo from you for the last four months, and prevented my appearance ut your marriage, I have hurried here as soon us possible, you see, tq. con grutulate you, and to ho intro duced to my now neioe, She is a charming creature, I am told ‘Oh, yes! yes!’ replied Sir Arth ur, though with some embarrass- me tit, ‘Her mother, Lady Glendale, was recoiled tho handsomest wo man of hor day—a superb, haugh ty, proud style of beauty, with a character to match.’ ‘Did you know her ?’ Inquired the nephew, eagerly. ‘Intimately. 1 should have made her my wife, if it had not been for her passion for domineering.’ ‘All,- you did very right!’ drop ped from tho young baronet’s lips, with a sigh. ‘At all evoutBj.it isn’t she whom you have married, but her daugh- who, everybody tells mo, is all suavity and gentleness,’ ‘Hem! yes; and I love her adore her,’ ‘Of course could easily guess that, from your letters, which used to receive almost every post; and, to say the truth, l was al most frightened to see it.’ ‘Frightened! why ? Can a man love his wife too well V ‘No and yes. In domestic af fairs we should economize in ev erything—even in the article of love; for extravagance is sure to exhaust the most abundant re source sooner or latter,’ ‘All. niy dear uncle, you reason like an old bachelor!’ ‘Hay, rather, like a prudent fol low, who takes care of t|io future. A man should begin as he intends to go on, But, if your system lias succeeded, why, of course, we need say no more about the mat ter. Ho receive my heartfelt con gratulations my dear hoy, and in troduce me to your wife instantur,’ •eplied the colonel, going up to ward the lodge. ‘Well, why don’t you come?’ ‘Why, the—the fact is—I really hardly know how to toll you—hut I—I don’t stay at the Manor House. I live hero in this hunting lodge alone!’ ‘What ?’ ‘My dear good uncle, yon fancy you have come to behold a scene of conjugal felicity; but, in short, my house is a perfect paudemoui um, and I am a wretched, miser able man !’ ‘You astonisn me! But let’s hear all about it.’ ‘Well, when Arabella became my wife, it seemed to me impos sible that I could evine the hap piness I felt by the utmost tender ness and devotion.’ ‘That was mistake number one! But proceed.’ I was content to obey her. I was proud to become Iter slave ! ‘Mistake number two !’ ‘Possibly ; but she was so hand some, and liad so many enchant ing ways, that I couldn’t help Still, during the second month our union I couldn’t help perceiv ing that she had fuim'e—some few trifling faults.’ ‘Of course she had; they were fault* which you yourself had ea- gender/ed,’ ‘Ao<l even the very first time that I hazarded a very slight dif ference of opinion, she took it so io heart that J told her to do what she pleased, for I would never thwart her; that she should have her own way in everything.’ ‘Ah ! that settles the hbusincss. Anarchy comple—government topsy-turvy.' ‘And then hor mother came to pass a few days with us.’ ‘The mother! Worse and worse.’ ‘And after that, wo never had n peaceable moment.’ ‘I should have been very much surprised if you had,* ‘So at last I determined to put my foot down firmly, and recover myrtuthority.’ ‘Yury right. A very good idea.’ ‘A very had Idea.” ‘As how ?’ ‘Listen. Wo wore invited to a hull at a neighbor’s county-seat, where wo should have met it cer tain young widow, a Lady Den ham,of whom Arabella—thanks to the kind offices of my mother-in law—hud taken it into her head to he most causelessly jealous. My wife refused to go, and ab solutely forbade me to go, too.’ ‘Just what you might havo ex pected !’ ‘But I stood firm.’ ‘Bravo !’ ‘I told her it would ho a mark ed disrespect if we both refused and that I should most ccrtuinly go, even if I went aloud 1 .? ‘Bettor and bettor!’ ‘Lady Glendale replied that I was a tryrant,who wanted to mur der heFpoor, dear child.’ ‘Htrong words those! But where did this occur?* ‘In tliis very hunting-lodge, where we were staying for a few days while they were making some little alterations in the old Manor House.’ ‘Well, proceed. What answer did you make to the lady mother ?’ ‘I told her plainly not to inter fere between husband and wife.’ ‘Capital ! I couldn’t have done it better myself. Well ?’ ’The night came. I dressed.’ ‘Good!' ‘Arabella didn’t say a word;and, in spite ot myself, her silence ren dered me uneasy.’ ‘Ab, you got fuiut-hcarted.’ ‘No, indeed, I did pot; and the proof is, that as soon as the clock struck l rose to depart, upon which Arabella rushed to the win dow, threw it wide open,and cool* ly told mo that if I Stirred a step—.’ ‘Sim would throw herself out, I suppose !’ interrupted the colonel, laughing. ‘Yea,uncle; those were her very words, and before ] could prevent her she had done it.” ‘Good gracious!’ exclaimed the colonel, rather taken aback. ‘Yes, she did ; and if by a most providential circumstance, there had not happened to have been a wagon loaded with hay standing just beneath the balcony, there-— for it was that very window—’ Oljo!’ said the colonel, ‘A load of hay ! Ah, a load of hay upon which she fell!' ‘By the mercy of Heaved, with out hurting herself a hit.’ 'Humph j—ah! That’s a very different tiling.’ ‘No,no, uncle; it’s just the some thing.' ‘Well, perhaps if is, J may he wrong; hut proceed with yoUr story. ‘Lady Glendale immediately took her daughter to the Manor House. I went after ,them, hut in vain. My mother-in-jaw told me that from respect for the honor of her family she should lie silent as to what had passed, but that the very sight of me would be enough to kill her child, and forbade the to attempt to see her again, unless I wished to be a second tim,e her murderer.’ WMW’YnLl tl,n : r.ol~n’nl V-^olIv ‘Well, uncle, since that dAy— nearly a month ago—I have never beheld my wife.’ ‘Humph ! I don’t think that's any grqat cause for sorrow.’ ‘Yes, it is; for I am dying to speak to her.’ ‘No doubt.’ ’And to thtow myself at her feet, and implore her forgiveness.’ t Hult, thero, boy! I forbid that l She alone is to blame. If she really intended to kill herself, such an act is unpardoriublc; but if, as I hope, this scone was only in tended to form part of a little comedy—•’ ‘What! Surely you cannot for a moment suspect that- ‘At my age, my dear boy,’ inter*, rupted the colonel, calmly, ‘one suspects everything; just as,at your age, one believes everything.’ But at this point their conversa tion was broken off by the return of Fanny, with a note in her hand, yvhicli she presented to the young Baronet. ‘Hallo, hallo! what’s all this!’ ex claimed his uncle; ‘a letter! Did you take a letter from my nephew to the Manor House, Fanny?’ ‘1 diet, sir.’ ***" ‘You have written to your wife! r inquired he, addressing Sir Ar thur. ‘Y-ycs, uncle/ ‘Not to ask her forgiveness, I hope?’ *Ah, it’s all very well for you to talk, but, you see, I love her to distraction! I know you can’t un derstand all this: still I ’ ‘As 1 never had the misfortune to be married; very possibly I can’t. But let’s see what sort of an an swer you’ve got? Why don’t you open it?’ ‘It’s notan answer at all from my lady, sir. She wasn't alone—her mother was with her, and she took the note from me, and then she opened it and rend it!’ ‘What?’ exclaimed the young husband, in great indignation. ‘Yes, she did, Sir Arthur, I as*- sure you!.’’ ‘Well, go oat!! What happened next?’ inquired the colonel. ‘And then when she- mad it, she sat herself down at the table,siir,attd scribbled away; and at lasft folded up the paper, and handed it ta me, saying, ‘That's the answer! Leave the room!’ So I put it in my pock-> et and there it is/ “And all this without showing my letter to her daughter, or con-> suiting her about it?' ‘Yes, sir, not a word passed bo- i tween them!’ j ‘Oh, it is infamous!’ exclaimed Ith.e Baronet, now thoroughly in- indigdant ‘It serves you right; it's just what you deserve,’ said tlie colo nel. ‘It is shameful!’ muttered Fanny to herself. ‘Such a nice young husband, too!' ‘Well, why don't you open the letter, you stnpjd fellow? Does the old dowager’s handwriting make yoq tremble?’ ‘1NO,’ ‘Here—give it to me; let me see in what style sfie addresses ypq/ continued his uncle, as he took the yet unopened note from his neph ew's hand, and read as follows: ,‘Bir Aitynuij Mordaunt-r Tips is our ultimatum.
