"No," said «ho, "nothing! IIuvo you not dreamed?" "Ah, would to God wo lmdl" cried I. She spied tho sword, picked it up, and, see- ing the blood, lot it fall again with her hands thrown wido. "Ah I" sho cried. And then, with an instantcoimigo, handled it tho second time and thrust it to tho hilt into tho frozen ground. "I will tako it back and clean it properly," says slio, and again looked about her on all sides. "It cannot bo that he was doad?' f sho added, "Thoro was no flutter of his heart," said I, and thon remembering: "Why aro you not with your husband?" •, "It is no uso," said sho, "ho will notspoak to mo." "Notapeak to you?" I repeated. "Oh, ybu have not tried I" 1 "You Uavo a right to doubt me," sho re- plied, with a gontlo dignity. At this, for tho first, time, I was seized with SOITOW for her, "(Jod knows, madamo," I oriel, "God knows I am not so hard a« I ap- pear; on this dreadful night who can vonoor his words? But I am a friend to all who aro not Henry Durio's onomiosl" "It is hard, thon, you should hesitate about his wifo," said sho. I saw all at onco, liko tho rending of a veil, how nobly she had borno this unnatural ca- luniity, and how generously my reproaches. "We must go back and toll this t o m y lord," said I. "Him I cannot face," sho cried. "You will Ibid him tho least moved of all of us," said I. "And yot I cunuo! faco him," said she, "Well," said I, "you can return to Mr. tlonry; I will seo my lord." As wo walked back, I bearing tho candle- tticks, sho tho sword—a strange burden.for that woman—sho had anothor thought. 'SShould wo toll Henry?" sho asked. "Let my lord doeido," said I. My lord was noarly dressed whon 1 camo to bis chamber. Ho heard mo with a frown. "Tho frco traders," said he. "But whether dead or aliyo?" "I thought him"— said 1, and paused, (islianiod of tho .word. "I know; but you may very well have boon in error. Wiry should they removo him if not living?" ho usked. "Oh, hero is a great door of hope. It must bo given out that ho departed—as ho came—without any note of preparation. Wo must save all scandal." I saw ho had fallon, liko tho rest of us, to think mainly of the houso. Now that all tho living members of tho family woro plunged in irromedial sorrow, it wasstrango how we turned to that conjoint abstraction of the family itself, and sought to bolster up the airy,nothing of its reputation; not tho Duries only, but tho hired steward himsolf. "Aro wo to toll Mr. Henry?" I asked him. - "I will seo," said ho. "I am going to first visit him, thon I g o forth with you to view tho shrubbery and consider." Wo wont down stairs into tho hall. Mr. Honry sat by tho tablo with his head urxm .his hand, liko a man of stone. His wifo stood a littlo back from him, her hand at her nouth; it \vas plain sho could not niovo him. My old lord walked very steadily to whoro his?on was sitting; ho had a steady counte- nance, too, but methought a littlo cold; when ho was coino quite up, ho hold out both his hands and said: "My son I" With a broken, strangled cry, Mr. Henry leaped up and foil on his father's nock, cry- ing and weeping, tho most pitiful sight that over a nirtn witnessed. "Oh, father," ho cried, "you know Ilovodhiin; you know I loved him In tho beginning; I could have died for him—you know that I I would have givoli my lifo for him and you. Oh, say you know , that i' Oh, say you can forgive mo I Oh, father, father, what havo I done, what have I done? and wo used to bo bairns to- gether!" mrJ wept and sobbed, and fondled tho old muiij and clutched him a!>out tho nock, with tho passion of a chil*iu terror. And then ho caught sight of his wifo, you would havo thought for tho first time, whoro sho stood weeping to hem 1 him; and in a mo- ment had fallon at her knees. "And, oh, my lass," ho cried, "you must forgivo mo, tool Not your husband—1 havo only boon tho ruin of your lifo. j.Jlnt you know mo when I was a lad; thoro Was no harm in Honry Durio then; ho meant ayb to bo a friend to you. It's him—it's tho old bairn that played with you—oh, can yo never, nover forgivo him?" Throughout all this tny lord was liko a cold, kind spectator with his wits about him. At tho first cry, which was indeed enough to call tho houso about us, ho had said to mo over his shoulder: "Closo tho door." And now ho nodded to himself. "Wo may loavo him to his wifo now," says ho. ''Bring a light, Mr. Mackollar." Upon my going forth again with my lord, Iwnsawaropf a stratum pho: no longor.checfteJ by policy; And for an- other, thing, tho nature of that insult, and tljo conduct of Mrs/Henry, pointed toono con- clusion: which I havo nover verified, and can now nover verify until tfyj groat assize; the conclusion that ho had at last forgotten himsolf, had gone too far in his advances, and had been rebuffed, It cau nevcrt bo vor- lllcd, as I say; but, as I thought of it that morning among his baggage, tho thought was 8wcot to mo liko honey. Into tho open portmanteau 1 dipped a littlo ero I closed it. Tho most beautiful laco and linen, many suits of thoso lino plain clothes In which ho loved to appear; a book or two, and those of tho best, Caesar's "Commen- taries," a volume of Mr. Hobbos, tho "Hert* riado" of M. do Voltaire, a book upon tho Indies, one,on tho mathematics, far beyond whoro I havo studied; these were what I ob-1 served with very mingled feelings. But in' tho open portmanteau, no papers of any do.-' toription. This sot mo musing. It was po liblo tho man \vns dead*, but, sinco tho trad-, H-s had carried him away, not likely. It was j possible ho might still dio of his wound; but .t was also possible ho might not. And in this latter case I was determined to have the means of some defense. -, ' Ono after another I carried his portman- teaus to a loft in tho top of tho house which wo kopt locked; wont to my own room for my koys, and, returning to tho' loft, had tho gratification to find two that fitted pretty well. In one of tho portmanteaus thoro was a shagreen letter case, Which I cut open with tny knifo, and thenceforth (so far r.s any credit wont) the man was at my mercy. Hero was a v a s t dee.1 of gallant correspondence, chiefly of his Paris days; and, wnat was moro to tho pur- pose, hero were tho copies of his own reports to tho English secretary, and tho originals of tho secretary's answers—a most damning scries—such as to publish would bo to wreck tho master's honor and to set a price upon his lifo. I chuckled to myself as I ran through tho documents; I rubbed my hands, I sung aloud in my-glee. Day found mo at tho pleasing task; nor did I then remit my diligence, ex- cept in so far as I wont to tho window—looked out for a moment, to seo tho frost quite gone, the world turned black again, and tho rain and tho wind driving in tho,bay—and to ossuro myself that the lugger was gono from its anchorage, and tho master (whether doad or alivo) now tumbling on tho Irish Son. It is proper I should add in this place the vory littlo I havo subsequently angled-out upon tho doings of that night. It took m e a thinsT r might have been carrying about toy ' packet till this day hud not a fortunate acci- dent delivered mo from all my hesitations. ; This was at night, when I was once more leaving tho room, thoUhing not yet done, and myself in despair at rny own cowardice. "What do you carry about with you, Mr. Mackollar?" sho asked. "These last days I seo you always coming in and out with the same armful." , I returned upon my steps without a word. laid tho papers before her on the tablo, and left her to her reading.

It was near six months before wo even know for certainty that tho u>an survived; and it was years be- fore I learned from one ODiCrall's men, turned publican on his ill gotten gain, some particu- lars which smack to mo of truth. It seems tho traders found the master struggled on ono elbow, and now staring.round him, and now gazing at the candle or at his hand which was all bloodied, liko a man stupid. Ujiou their coining, ho would scorn to havo found his mind, bade them carry hjm aboard and hold their tongues; and on the captain asking how ho 1UMJ con| e in such a picklo, replied with a burst of pussionatp swearing, and inconti- nently fainted. They held somo debate, but they woro mo- mently looking for a wind, they woro highly paid to smuggle him to Franco, and did not wire to dolay. Besides which, ho was well enough liked by thoso abominublo wretches: they supposed him undor capital sentenco, know not in what mischief he might havo got his wound, and judged ita.piocc of good na- ture to remove him out of the way of danger. So ho was taken aboard, recovered on the passago over, and was set ashore a convales- cent at tho Havre do Grace. What is truly notable: ho said not a word to any ono of the duel, and not a trader knows to this day in what quarrel, or by the hand of what adver- sary, ho loll. With any other mun I should havo sot this down to natural decency; with him, to pride. Ho could not bear to avow, perhaps even to himself, that ho had boon vanquished by ono whom ho had so much in- sulted and whom ho so cruelly despised.

Wo made tho moro speed, Tt beliovo\boing surrounded by this bustle | I visited tho scono of the duol, whoro my lord looked upon tho blood with stoicism, and,(passiiig further" on toward the landing place, cnlne, at last upon some evi- dences of the truth. For, first of all, where thero was a pool across the path, tho ice.had boon trodden in, plainly by moro than ono man's weight; next, and but n littlo furthor, a young tree was broken, and down by tho landing place, whoro tho tradors' boats were usually beached, anothor stain "of blood marked whoro tho body must havo boon in- fallibly sot down to rest the bearers. Thjls slain wo sot oursolvos to wash away with tho soa water, carrying It in my lord's hat; and as wo woro thus engaged, thoro camo up a sudden, moaning gust and loft us in- stantly benighted. . "It will como to snow," says my lord; "and tho best thing that wo could hope. Lot us go back now; wo oan do nothing in tho dark." As wo wont houseware!, tho wind boing again subsided, wo wore awaro of a strong puttering noiso about us in tho night; and whon wo issued from tho sholtor of tho trcos wo found it raining smartly. Throughout tho wliolo of this, my lord's oleum JSS of mind, no ljws than his activity of body, had not ceased to minister to my amaze- ment, ifo sot the crown upon it in tho coun- cil wo hold on our return. Tlio freo tradors had cortainly secured tlio master, though, whether dead or ollvo, wo woro still left to our 1 conjectures. Tho rain would, long bo- foro day, wlpo out all marks of tho transac- tion, By this wo must profit. Tho master had unexpectedly qomo after tho fall of night.

To my extromo surprise, it was all in tho disbrdor of doparturo. Of his throe port- manteaus two woro ready looked, tho third lay operi and noar full. At onco thero flashed upon mo somo suspicion of tho tmt'i. The man had been going after all; he had but waited upon Grail, a9 Grail waited upon the wind; early in tho night tho seamon had per- ceived the weather changing; the boat had como to give notice of tho chaugo and call tho passongor aboard, aud the boat's orew had stumbled on him lying in his blood.

IHIMMMIV OF KVKNTS DURING TIIK MA8TBRJ0 •}••' BKCON1) AltSKNCK. F THE heavy sick- ness which declared itself next morning I can think with equanimity ns of the last unminglcd trouble that befell my mas tor ; and even that was per- haps a mercy iu disguise, for what pains of the body could equal the mis- jllcnry and 1 had tho 'My old lord called from timo to time to take tho news, but would not usually pass tho door.| Onco, I remember, when hopo was nigh gone, ho stopped to. the bedside, looked awhile iu his sou's face, and tuniod a way with a singular gesture of the head and hand throwi up, that remains upon my mind as something tragic, such grief and such a scorn of sublunary things were there expressed. But most of tho timo Mrs. Henry and I had tho room to ourselves, taking turns by night and boarurfg each other company by day, for it was dreary watching. Mr. Henry, his shaven head bound *in a napkin, tossed to and fro without remission, boating tho bod with his hands. His tongue uevorlay; his voico ran continuously liko a river, so that my heart was weary with the sound of it. It was notable, and to mo inex- pressibly mortifying, that ho spoke all tho whilo oh matters of no import; comings and goings, horses—which ho was over calling to havO' saddled, thinking perhaps (tho poor soul ft that ho might ride away from his dis- comfort—matters of tho garden, tho salmon nots, and (what I particularly raged to hear! continually of his affaire, ciphering figures and holding disputation with tho tenantry. Nover a word of his father or his wifo, nor of tho master, savo only for a day or two, whon his mind dwelt entirely in the past and he supposed himsolf a boy again and upon some inuocont child's play with his brother. What made this tho moro affecting: it appeared the master ha.l then run somo peril of hisltfo, for thero was a cry—"Oh, Jamio will bodrowned —oh, savo Jamie 1" which ho camo over aud over with a great deal of passion. This, I say, was affecting, both to Mrs. Honry And myself; but tho balance of m y master's wanderings did him littlo jus- tice. It seemed ho had sot out to justify his brother's calumnies; as though ho was bent to prove himsolf a 'man of dry nature, im- mersed in money gotting. Had I been there Rlono, I would not havo troubled my thumb; but all the whilo, as I listened, I was estimat- ing tho effoet on the man's wifo, and tolling myself that ho fell lower every day. I was the ono person on tho surfaoo of tho globe that comprehended him, and I was bound there should be yet anothor. Whether he was to die there and his virtues perish, or whether ho should savo his days and come baok to that inhoritanco of sorrows, his right memory, I was bound ho should bo heartily lamented in tho ono caso and un. ^ectodly wolcompd In the other, by tho person ho loved the most, his wifo. v Finding no occasion of free speech, I be- thought mo at last of a kind of documentary disclosure; and for some nights, whon I was off duty and should havo boon asleep, I gave my time to the preparation of thatwhioh I may call my budget, But this I found to be the easiest portion Of my task, and that which remained, name- ly, the presentation to my lady, almost moro than I had fortitude to overt ate. Heverhl days I went about with my papers undor my arm, spying for some juncture of talk to serve as introduction. I will not deny but that some offered; only when thoy did my tongue olovo to tho roof of my juouth, and I the master's papers. Weary us I was with watching and dis- tress of mind, it was impossible for me to sleep. All night long I walked in myicham- ber, revolving what should bo tho issue and sometimes repenting the temerity of my in- mixturo in affairs so private; and with the first pbep of tho morning I was at the sick room door. Mrs. Henry had thrown open tho shutters, and eveiv the window, for the temperature was mild. She looked stead- fastly before her, where was nothing to see, or only tlio blue of tho morning creeping among \voods. Upon the stir of my en- trance, sho did not so much as turn about her face—a circumstance from which I au- gural very ill. ' l "Madamo," I began; and then again, "madamo," o but could make no more of it. Nor yet did Mrs. Honry come to my assist- ance witli a word, In this pass I began gath- ering up tho papers where they lay scattered on thcjlablo, and tho first thing that struck mo, their bulk appeared to have diminished. Onco I ran them through, and twice; but tl»3 correspondence with tho secretary of state, on which I had reckoned so much against tho future, was nowhere to be found. I looked in tho chimney; amid tho smolder- ing embers black ashes of paper fluttered in tho draught, and at that my timidity van- ished. [ "Good God, mudaino," cried I, in a voice not fitting for a sick room, "good God, madame, what havo you done with my pa- pers!" "I havo burned them," said Mrs. Henry, turning about. "It is enough, it is too much, that you and I have seen them." "This is a fine night's work that you have donol" cried I. "And all to save the reputa- tion of a man that eat bread by tho shedding of his comrades' blood, as I do by tho shed- ding ink." "To savo the reputation of that family in which you .aro a servant, Mr. Mackellar," she returned, "and for which you have already done>w much." "It is a family I will not serve much longer," 1 cried, "for I am driven desperate. You have stricken the sword out of my hands; you hayj/left us all defenseless. I had always these letters I could shake over. his head; and now—wh.-ii is to del We are so falsely situate, we dare not show the man ' the QOor; the country would fly on fire against.us; and I had this one hold upon him —and now it is gono-*-now ho may comeback to-morrow, and wo niust all sit down with him to dinner, go for a stroll with him on the terrace, or take a hand at cards, of all things, to divert his loisurcl No, madame; God for- give you, if ho can find it in his heart; \or I cannot find it in mine." "I wonder to find you so simple, Mr. Mac- kollar," said Mrs. Henry. "What does this man value reputation f But ho knows how high wo prize it: he knows wo would rather die than make these letters public; and do you suppose he would not trade upon the knowledge? What you call your sword, Mr. Mackellar, and which bad been ono, indeed, against a man of any remnant of 'propriety, would have been but a. sword of paper against him. Ho would smile in your faco at such a threat. Uo stands upon his degradation; he makes that his strength; it isin vain to strug- gle with such character* '' She cried out this last a littlo desperately and then with more quiet: "No, Mr, Mackellar, I have thought upon this matter all night, and there is no way put of it. Papers or no papers, the door of this houso stands open for him. He is the rightful heir, forsooth! If we sought toex- cludo him, all would redound against poor Henry, and I should seo him stoned again upon tho streets. Ah, if Henry dies, it is a different matter { They have broken the en- tail for their own good purposes. The estate goes to my daughter, and I shall see who sets a foot upon it.' But if Henry lives, my poor Mr. Mnckcllur, and that man returns, we must suffer; only this timo it will be to- gether" On the whole, I was well pleased with Mrs. Henry's attitude of mind; nor cottld I oven deny there was somo cogency kt that which she advanced about tho papers. "Let us say no moro about it," said I. "I can only bo sorry 1 t rusted a lady with the originals, which was an unbusinesslike pro- ceeding at the best.
