The orpban girl of a former servant lo a wealthy family, Mattic had shsred the lessons and the play of the younger daughter of the house, until a time came when it was convenlent to turn the humble companion adrift to work for herself. 1t may have becn & piece of ill-luck his nelghbors aacribed to Drew, that it should have been (o his farm the girl came as help to his sister, or 1t may have been a pieco of his good nature that made him agree to take under his roof this edacited far above her station, Drew’s widowed sister, Mra. Banks, who lived with him, and whoso child it was Mattie had come to nurse, emongst other duties too numerous to wention, for there was bat one serv- ant kept—Drew's sistor excluimed in despair when the farmer broughi home the young lady-like, delicate- lookirg girl: “Wo want a strong, hard-working lase? This ono doosu’t know her tight name from her left. She is as good as a lady, or as bad, and has never milked a cow 1n her life! What were you thinking of to bring her here?” ‘‘Ah! that’s my luck; well, we must do the baet we can with her, It the steward had never mentioned her to me now—but then he did mention her, and here sho is.” Thera she wae, and theroghe stayed, apt to learn, willing to be taught, grateful for the real kindness she met with, Mattle was soon the best hand at milking for miles around, and soon devoted to baby. Three yesrs passed quietly, and then came the romance of Mattle's life, She was twenty that summer. Adam Armitage, a grave man, was fully ten years her senlor. A great traveller, a member of the world renowned sclentific soclety, & student and a dis. coverer—he was between two sclentific expeditions, refreshlng heart and brain by a walking tour through the home countrics, Adam's walkiog tour ended at the farm Drew, had taken only a year be- fore, and the dwelling house it had baeen found more convenientto inhabit than the smaller bui'ding on the old land close to the road. M. ¥ found the pure alr of the d for him, He made friends with all the family. To Mattie it was delight- ful to meet once more some one with all the tricks and manner of the more refined eociety, among which her | youth had been pasced. Little Harry | followed his new friend wherever he | went, Harry’s mother called him a right down pleasant gentleman; the farmer called him a good man, They all mlased him whea he went away. Mattic most of all; but " the next summer found him there agaln, & weloome old friend this time, and no stranger. Drow, a keen observer of all that went on around him, was not so much taken by surprise as his sister was one day toward the end of this second vist, Adam and Mattle were both fore night. She was the bearer of a note from Mattle confessing that she and Mr, Armitage were marrled, and hoping the servant sent might supply her place, 80 that no one would be incon- venienced. Drew might shako his head and look girl and her former master, trusted Adam In the face of his plicable sllence; in the face of even a more ominous discovery that he had never mentioned Mattie’s name to his mother, or alluded to Mattle at all. As for Adam, Mrs. Armitage had de- clared he was not with her then, that she could not glve an address that thoughtful, but Mr. Armitage was his | wounld find him, an assertion that con- own master, and it was not the fisrt firmed Mattle in the idea that he had time a gentleman had married a coun- | 8o often spoken to her. try lass . Besides the deed was done and past recall, They had gone qui- etly to one of the churches in the town, and from whence the sound of bells floated up to the farm, and had been married by special license. Adam had taken lodging for his bride, and there they passed one brief, bright week of happiness, then one mornjng they walked quietly back together, Mattie blushing and smiling, and look- ing 8o lovely and ladylike in a simple dress that she used to wear befora she came to the farm they hardly kuew her.” Adem explained that he meant to leave his wife for two days—no more —in care of Eer old friend, at the end of that time he would return and fotch her. There were arrangements to make with regard to the sclentlfic expedition about to start immediately. It would sall without him now, but it behooved him to do his best that his place should be as well filled as it might be, There was also his mother to see, and preparing for recelving Mattie, Mattle walked a little way with her husband and the farmer, along the breezy uplande, and then Adam eent her back, and hastened his own steps in the direciion of the little station at the foot of the downs. When he came again, he sald, laughing, it will be from L—— station, and that he would drive in a fly through the Stonedene gate along the track, the only ap- proach to a carriage road leading to the farm, Mattle went away smiling, as he meant she should do, and only paused now and then to look after the two men as long as they remained in sight. It was natural that she should feel a little afrald of this unkaown lady, Adam’s mother, but that fear was the only shadow on Mattle’s path, It was an idyl, a poem, as true a love story a8 the world has seen, that had writ- ten Itself here In this out of the way spot on the lonely Sussex Downs, On the third day they might look for Adam to return, but that day pas- sed, and many another, uatil the days were wecke—the woeks months, and he neither came nor wrote. Matide remembered how when she hai re- turned to look back for the lust time vpon that homeward walk she had scen his fig 1re distioct agalnst the sky for an fustant, and In the next lost it ontirely as he passed out of sight over the swelling lines of hills, Just so she seemed to have lost him in one in- stant of her life. And yet she never lost falth and trust in him--never ocensed to watch for his coming agaln. Drew, after a time, elther goaded to the step by his sister’s loud-volced arguments, or ll:.mmpv.«l to 1t by his own sense of what was due to Mattie, not only took pains to ascertain that the marriage was real enough, but the farther palns of searching for and finding the address of Adam Armitage in London, It was strange how this As autumn passed and the evenings grew chill wm‘: the breath of the com- ing winter, Mattie's health seemed to fall. The deep melancholly that op- pressed her threatened to break the nprings of life, In order to escape Mrs. Banke the girl took to lonely wanderlngs over the downs; wander- ings that ended always at Stonedene; until, with the instinct of a wounded animal that seeks to bear its pain alone, or from the ever-recollection of the last words of Adam, when he sald it was by the way of Stonedone that he would return, she besought the farmer to send away the woman in charge of the house and allow her to take her place. Drew ylelded to the wish of the wife whose heart was breaking with the paln of absence and the mystery of silence, and Mattie, on this figgy dsy had already lived at Stonedene, on the watch always for the coming of Adam, The fog Inoreased instead of dimin- ished with the approach of evening. Drew could not seo his own house un- til he was closo to it: as he had re- marked, the mystery of Mattie's affairs was not more imponetrable than the vell hiding all natural objects just then., When he had put up the horse and gone Into tes, Mrs. Banks, as she bustled about, preparing the meal which Mattie’s deft little fingers had been wont to sei with 8o much qulet- noes o3 well as celority, did not fall to greet him with the question: “Waell, how Is she?” “She” had come to mean Mattle in the vocabulary of the farmer and his slster, “About as usnal in health,” Drew replied, lifting the now tve-year-old Harry to his kaee, ‘‘but troubled in mind—though, to be sure, that is as usual, too" “‘Bhe is out of her mind,” exclaimed Mrs, Banks, irritably, ‘‘Every one but yourself cowe that; and If you do not know it, It i3 only because you are a8 mad o she ls—or any one might think from the way you go on.” “Nay, nay,” sald Drow gently, as the butter dis" was set on the table with & vehomence that made the tea oups rattle, ‘‘There are no slgns of madness about Mattle—uuless yoa eall her trust in her busband by so harsh a namo."” ‘Husband! A pretty husband, in- deed! I've no patience with him; nor you elther. As if it were not a com- mon tale enough! It would be better to persuade the girl to come home and et to work agaln, than to encourage Eor in her fancles, while you pay an- other servant here—and times so hard a8 they are.” “1 was thinking m-d-l " the farmer went on, lonzgnllni s broad palm over the blon of the child upon hath whom he hath not seen' fog pressed closely. prising what alled him, the man himself!” orled Drew, as th upon the brick floor, Adam, pal> and worn, a shadow o takably. tarmer. my wite?” at Stonedene, sir.
