We did not talk much shabby carriage, rwhich bad evidently been sent from some livery stable. Sarah's trunk was placed beside the driver; she herself mounted into the vehicle. But as she pulled up the window she saw me gazing litter her. and her pale face flushed crimson.

Needless to say, I presented myself next morning at the hotel which had been mentioned as Mr. Carruthers' stopping place. No such person was known there. And when I Inquired further for a Miss iSarah Gardiner, who had traveled with me, and was supposed to have arrived last night, the porter could only shake his head and look mystified. Cousin Sarah and Mr.

Carruthers were alike missing. I am inclined to think that possibly Sarah did not spend the night in Bath at all, for, after trylug to throw dust In my acute eyes by driving off in state in henhired carriage. site could, by returning quickly to the station, catch a night mail to London, and effectually lose herself in the great city, Anyway, about ten days after her disappearance, my mother received a note from her with the London postmark, staling that she had decided to join her brother in and bad taken passage lu the steamship Sirius, which sailed that very day. We found, from tIS3 shipping news. that suen a vessel did actually leave the London docks at the date mentioned; but whether Sarah traveled by it or.

She hid her face in her hands. and seemed as though she could scarcely control her sobs. My mother's soft heart was touched. "I am so sorry, Sarah.

I will do anything can to help you; but," hesitatingly, wM it be quite proper" Will what be quite proper?" asked Sarah, sharply, Mtinst her head, and pushing back her disordered hair from her eyes. Then she seemedlo gather herself together as It were and added, In a salter tone: I "Oh, yes, remember. My going to Fred you mean. Surely his sister is with him." It was the first time we had heard of any such relative, and we were both rather surprised. "In that case," said 'my 'mother, a little stiffly.

Cousin Sarah confessed' that her arguments were unanswerable, wept a little. and loudly bemoaned her evil fortune; but her resolve was fixed not to become a burden on her dear Fred, by marrying him in her present delicate state of health, while he also was too honorable a man to inflict on her the care of an Invalid husband, What a quixotic couple they were! Would it do for one of you to recover without the other?" I maliciously.

"Oh, yes," responded Cousin Sarah, in her. usual guileless fashion; "I should be only too delighted to have the right to become Fred's nurse." 'Then, my dear, you had better devote all your energies to growing strong yourself," said I my mother, with ready sympathy.

The words did not quite express all I meant, because 1 i I I Mr. Carruthers was reported to be so rich, and I knew that: Sarah was so poor, I marveled that such an ardent lover did not desire to I throw the shelter of his name and his money round his Impecunious bride with as little delay as might be.

Even if the worst came to the worst. Sarah would be better off as his widow than as his fiancee. Delicacy, forbade me putting all this Juni words, and whether Sarah guessed my tho7ghts or not, she simply replied: 1 1 "Oh! I could not, le Mr; Carruthers begin his married life by nursing me," a sentiment which my mother applauded. Next day there lay a letter beside Sarah's plate on the breakfast tablea thick and bulky letter, as I could not help seeing. "From Mr.

Carruthers." she explained, when she found it, was expecting to hear.11 Then she addressed herself to her tea and toast, and for awhile took no furtheeno4 lice of the package. This annoyed me. "You seem on very ceremonious terms with one another." I said, alter watching her during several minutes, for her lethargic manner always irritated me. 'filasn't Mr. Carruthers got a Christian name?" Sarah started, and colored palutully.

"Who? Hai Yeswhat?" she stammered, Carruthers got it Christian name; of course ne. has. He is IcalledFred." There was the slightest possible hesitation over the last word, which I was quick to notice. "It does not seem to now very glibly from your tongue," I retorted, some evil spirit prompting me to be as nasty as I could. But Sarah had quite recovered her equanim-q nd took no notice of my al-natured re-, mark.

Indeed, she sat smiling placidly at the outside of her letter until I felt quite ashamed of myself, and had the grace to say so. I 'Ohl of course It must seem strange to you," assented Cousin Sarah, beginning to tear open her envelope. She unwrapped the -47Lt -----Th I UNWRAPPED TRE anErrs. i I closely-vrritten sheet', holding them up, meanwhile, so that every one at the breakfast table could see they were written in a bold, masculine hand, and then, with some excuse for her abrupt departure, she left the dining room- 1- 1 "Gone to enjoy the fellow's raptures In stilnude, I suppose," laughed George. "Poor Sarah! Very likely It is her first love letter," said my mother, who bad a decided 'vein of sentiment in her composition.

"It would be only kind of us to keeo her here until she is married, tor I don't suppose Mr. Carruthers would hear her taking another ti) situation. even if Mid fit for it. lie seems such an ardent I don't think we should have her for long." -I 4 And certainly Mr. Carruthere did seem ardent enough.

Letters came from him as regularly as the post could bring Sarah soon began to read aloud messages to my mother and myself, thanking us for oar kindness to his dear little woman: making flattering comments on accounts she had evidently given him of her pleasant visit to Yorkshire; and expressing his earnest hop that be might soon haw! an opportunity of re- paying the obligation under which we had placed both himself and Sarah.1 We began to think Carruthers must be a very nice gentleman and Sarah a very lucky woman; and we were sure Of it a week later, when there arrived a box addressed to Mrs. Farquhar wherein lay a bouquet of choice hot-house flowers, witn Mr. Carruthers' card attached to it. 1 "How could he know my special cried my mother, as she gazed delightedly at the fragrant blossoms. "1-4--I believe I told Fred once bow fond you were of flowers." began Sarah, bashfully, "and so be says in my note he has sent you a few, which he hopes you will accept as some small acknowledgment on his part of your goodness to tier voice trembled while she spoke; but no -doubt she was couched.

What is the addreabr Sarah looked a little tontused for one inomeat; then she youmblect a number and. a street, which were indistinct even to my quick ears, and which I was quite sure my mother, who was growing slightly deaf, would never catch.
