VOLUME VII.
CHEWTON ABBOT
liY HUGH CONWAY.
Chapter II.
It was a lovely September morn¬
ing; the air was fresh and exhilarat¬
ing. As soon as the dark, dusty city
was left behind, Millicent’s spirits
rose to a mad pitch, which Frank,
with all his newly-married adoration
fancied was not quite in keeping with
what was to him at least a sort of
solemn pilgrimage. She cansLt hold
of his hands and squeezed them, sire
laughed and talked; in fact, generally
misconducted herself. Frank had
never seen her in such a mood before
He was fain to believe that she was
forcing her merriment to show him
how little she cared for the loss of
the wealth she would have shared.
Nevertheless, as each landmark came
in sight, and at last he knew that he
was passing through lands which one
day should have been his, he grew
gloomy, moody, and miserable. Mil
licent saw what passed through his
mind; she sank into silence; an occa¬
sional pressure of the hand only re¬
minding him that at least he had her.
Presently he stopped the carriage,
“Yon can get the best view 7 of the
dear old house from here,” he said.
“Let us get out,” said his wife.
They alighted, and for some min¬
utes stood looking at the long gray
house. Frank’s eyes were full of
tears.
“Can’t we go over the house?”
asked Millicent,
“By permission of Mr. Tompkm
son, no doubt; but he is a stranger
to me, so I don’t care to ask it.”
“But I want to see the inside so
much, Frank; you have described it
to me so often. Let us go up and
ask if .we can go over it.”
The idea of asking leave to go over
Chew ton- Hail was more than Frank
could bear.
“I would much rather not,” he
said.
“But I want to go, Frank,” said
Millicent, pouting. “No one will
know us, so what does it matter?”
Frank still shook his head and
raised objections. If there was one
thing above another he hated, it was
asking favors of strangers. Chew
ton Hall was not a show place. It
boasted no specimens of interesting
architecture; it possessed no gallery
of paintings. As likely as not, when
they reached the door and preferred
their request, some flunky of this
fellow Tompkinson’s would order
them off the grounds. In short, sor¬
ry as he was to disappoint his wife,
Mr. Abbot firmly refused to ask leave
to go over the hall. Thereupon he
discovered that he had married a
young woman who had no intention
of giving him abject obedience.
“It’s very unkind of you,” she said.
“I will go over the place. If you
won’t come, I shall go alone.”
She turned away, pushed the lodge
gate open in a most unceremonious
way, and was twenty yards up the
drive before her husband had recov¬
ered his surprise. At first he resolv¬
ed to leave her to her fate ; but that
seemed an unkind thing to do. Af¬
ter all, she wanted to look over his
old home solely for love of him. He
could not let her go alone; besides,
as he was hesitating, she turned and
beckoned to him. So he walked af¬
ter her.
As soon as Millicent had satir.neG
herself that her husband was follow
ing her she quickened her pace to
such an extent, that without actually
running he could not overtake her.
Arguing that a man’s running after
a woman up a stranger 's carriag ft
drive was not a digniged preparation
to asking a favor, Frank foliov/eu
his wife at a reasonable pace; and
when lie came up to hc-r, found her
standing at the door of the bail in
conversation with an elderly woman,
who was evidently a housekeeper.
Frank thought this good woman eyed
| him verv curiously and suspicion y,

reinstated, The meeting between
the two ladies was ernbai rassiug for

to ;i luinoftud, however quixotic be
mijht be, the young couple have al
w..ys been far away from the poverty
which one of them was cohtinua'lv
hand g upon. The last I heard
about them is that Mr. iveetn, who
since his daughter’s marriage, has
iqmiit most of his time iu London,
told Frank roundly that unless In
would bring Millicent back to Chew
t n, throw lf-s pride to the winds,

than a largo house in which he could

he cared nothing.
Millicent, wlio thinks Frank look¬

sure that London air does not suit
the baby, seconds her father’s appeals
with eloquent looks; and Frank, who

Mr, Keen*-, and who finds that with

By the window sat a care-worn we¬
man, whose brown hair was alre ady
heavily thr -aded with silver, r.ta visg
to make the most of the light of that
dreary Nuv< mber day,as she wearily
plied her needle.
They bad once been blessed with
every comfort. That seemed
‘‘go, when a loving baud had provid¬
ed ; but the husband and father had
met with reverses, quickly followed
by death. Helen taught school in
the village, until one day she fell
upon the icy steps. Since then, tbo
