MISS GAY.

One ot the quietest plases in the London suburbs is Manville square, Clapham. It lies at the' core of a network of shady lanes iind sequestered roads, -where the thrush and blackbird sing in the quiet evening. The place is gathered into a peaceful calm ; and to find yourself in Manville square, after the dust and turmoil of tho city, is as great a Change aa for the citizen of a sleepy cathecral town to himself on a praire with the feeling of inexhaustible relief always arising from the attsende of Walls. But in Manville square youilnd ndsolitttde. Lightly swudk broughams and landaus and Viototirts brush over the smooth roadway now and thetl ; you con on no lino day put your head out of a front window without hearing the laugh ter of rosy-cheeked children and the patter of tiny feet. The houses all belonged to one landlord, •who wa3 a rich man and owned property in severalothor part 9of London. He had made one r,ulo over all his house property, and that Was to take ten per cerft a year less for his houaos than he .could easily girt, and to be much more particular as to the people he accepted as tcnauts than most landlords. It was not enough to satisfy him that the ton ant was Eolveut and respectable ; he would also be convinced tho applioant for a house of his was free from anything which could make him a disagreeablo neighbour. Those who took houses were to bo clearly Informed one o£ the advantages of fie place was that there were to bo no lodges in Manville square. When Dr. Stephen Brooks took his house he read the clause with satisfaction. Wheu a man paidu hundred and thirty-six pounds ayeurior ft house in thesubuiba, ho expected not to have lodgers next door. Mrs Brooks was delighted with tho stringency of this proviso. They had had a hard fight In the world. They wel'e childless. .Neither was now young, and a little rosjjerjtability. be comes very acceptable in the middle llfd of woman, when 3 oath and young nationhood have been spent in narrow ways. For ten years Dr. Brooks and his wife lived a quiet easy live in the square ; and then when ho waa sixty and she was fifty-five, he diod. It was necessary tor her to give up tho house, but the landlord was most con siderate. Atter visiting all the houses in the square, he sailed on Mra Urooks and said : All the people in tho equaro were most anxious she should not leave it, and would do everything in tho power to help her. He, too, should he loth to lose [an old and valued resident. Now what he came prepared to do was to cancel the nub-letting clause of her loaso. Thus it arose in tho year 1879, in one houso in Melville Bquaro" lodgings could be secured, and that Kiiwin Colthurst livedasa lodger with Mrs Brooks. Ho occupied a room at the top of the houso, looking into the square. He went into the city every day immediately after breakfast, and was not home till near six in the evening. He was quiet and unassuming, spoko in n. -soft low'voice, and was never so pleased has when ho could steal in and out unperccived. Mo had no companions or friends. Ho lived altogether to himself. No ono ever called upon him.. He always came homo straight from his business and went to his room. At 9 o'clock he camo down and ale some supper, mostly in Bilence Mrs Urooks had nsjrcat liking for the young man and often said she wished he would havo some of his friends with' him on Sunday. But ho always made tbesame answer — Thank you Mrs Brooks. It is very good of you to think of it. But there is no one I cure to ask just now. He bad a taste for entomology and read ing, and ho spent all his Sundays and his cvoniojjd oypr his books or his cases of speci men?, Towards tho end of May, Mfs Brooks thought ho was looking very ill and attri ! buted this to his want of variety ia life, and, she feared, his great carelessness about meals. Often at supper it had slipped from him that he had eaten nothing since break fast that morning. Mrs Brooks made up her mind she- would see that he ate his sup por at all events 3 so towards the end of May . hlio was always in the dining-room when that meal .was served for him. Early in Jnno, while lie was in tho dining room, Mrs Brooks p'ullcil a letter out of her pocket and said : " Mr Coltlnust, I got a letter from a lady this morning. She has been recommended to come here by o lady who stopped hero—by a lady who was with me for a few months last year. I want to answer tho letter at once, and I cannot read part of the letter or signature. Will you bo so kind as to try if you can make it out?" "Certainly. Let mo boo it." '. % He took it, and after looking at it awhile, rfuul nut../-* m .** ...-..,,* -~. . «« - "Dear Madam : My friend, Mrs Ship stono, tells me I should be lucky if you allow me to come and stay with yon for a fortnight or three weekH—business takes m« to London. My niece accompanies me. We shall need two bedrooms, opening into one another, and a private sitting-room. We come up to sec a doctor. You need not lie alarmed. The complaint is neither in fectious nor dangerous. An early reply will Oblige, Yours faithfully, Ellen Gay." Five uights after that Miss Gay—she proved to be a spinster—arrived wiik her niece. " Yon remember," said Mrs Brooks that night to Colthurst, as hn ato his supper, '• the letter I showed you a few days ago from a lady recommended to me by Mrs Ship stone ?' Yes, the writing was not very legible." " That is it. Wejl, they came this morning. I don't wonder at her coming up to town for advice. I don't think she has many weeks' life in her. She's bent on one side, as thin aa charity, and quite yellow and pinched. . I don't think she came a day too soon, poor old lady. She isn't very old —nothing like as old as I—but death, is in her face—death is in her face." " I am very sorry for the poor lady," said Col thurst, seriously. He had a sympathetic nature and a serious mauner. " But her neice Ms'Colthurst, her noice 1 I don't think 1 ever saw any one more lovely. She ia fair and slight and tall and graceful, the picture of health, and no more tain eighteen. A most perfect lady who would do credit to the best house in London. Next evening it was : close on eight o'clock when Colthurst reached home. Ho unlocked the sate, crossed the roadway, ascended the steps, and thrust his latch-key into the hole. He pushed open the door, and as he did so he saw coming down the hall aunt and niece. They were dressed for walking, ilo drew asid?, bowed, and railed his hat. . '•■■. ! " Tnonk you,"said the elderly lady, as she passed him. Tho tall lithe form of the girl bent slightly forward, and a smile offgracious recognition came upon her sweet young face. • He h'rl nfver seen anything so lovely in all his life before. He would have given tho world to turn round and walk out in the beautiful soft evening with her." He had often before been attracted by beauty, but never as now. Aspirittuch as he had never seen in woman before hung about this girl. There was with her a most excellent gentle ness. There came with her a subtle pres ence, a promise of serene repose. Youfiot from her no hint of change of growth of development, of progress. It seemed as though she had reached tho Elysian Fields, the goal of hope, the sphere of immutability. "What a sweet girl Miss Gay is I" said Mrs" Brooks that night while ho ate his supper. ."She doesn't seem to know she is good looking, or that she Is so amiable. I know I never saw such eyes. It her aunt only kept her in London and'brought her out; she wonld be the beauty of the season photographed, and her carte in every window." •'■■'..' ■'■■'.." V I should be very sorry to ccc her;.any thing of the kind. She is too good to be a 'beauty.' Put a delicate angel like her up among a lot of brazen married women, whose good looks ought to be at home, and riot stuck everywhere all Over town for vulgar fools to leer at." , "Well, lam not in favour of these photo graphs myself, but I think the girl ought to >c brought out. I wonder what will be come of the dear child when her aiiiit dies." "I imagine nothing could be better for her if anything happened to her aunt than to come and live with you here." "■I should like that. We could take care of her here, Mr Colthurst. Have you heard her play ? Queer, out of the way, dreamy things that make you feel first as if you wnnrod to go to eleep, and then as if you | wouldn't close your eyes on any account." "I .should like above atl things to hear her." •> . ■ '• > - " I'll ask if I may bring you up to-morrow evening. The aunt is a nice sensible lady, and isn't a bit too hard on the child." All that night one phrase of Mrs Brooks haunted him : " We could tnkp careof her." We—we - wo—? Take cai eof her ? Take care of that sweet ye vug girl ? Ay, though I all the \vorld|sought to do her harm it should not succeed while he could raise an arm to strike a blow for her. To-morrow evening ho might meet her! Ho might hear her voice coming to him. Ho might watch her as she sat and talked. Her hand njight touch his. Her dress might brush against him. He might sit and listen to her playing in the twilight. He might pick up a ilower or a ribbon or a glove she had worn. If, when her aunt died, she only came to that house, what care they would take of this gentle-faced girl 1 She would be like Mrs Brook's daughter—live with her, dine and sup at the same t.ahln. n.ml nit, n>iM» M> a

: Wliert He, got back to M;anvillo square next evening He did not linger out of doors, but walked with a tjuicfc step up to the house and went in. It%as clods to 8 o'clock when'lie mot Mra-Bfooksi. She had good news for him. He was to go up that even-' inj» and be introduced ; but Miss Gay had said he must remember they were in the doctor's hands, and he must not take it ill of them if they retired early. Mrs Brooks devoted herself altogether to the aunt, and the young people were left almost altogether to themselves. They i talked of a great number of things. He found her intelligent, (shy, candid and anxious for surprise. " You have never been in London before t ho asked. " No, never. lam greatly de lighted with it." , " Would you like to livo here always ? " I should like it very much. But aunt could not manage to live here. In fact we are going back very soon." " How soon 1", "Inafewdays. Idonotknow howmany. When wo are done with the doctors." " I am very .sorry for the cause of your visit to London. I Wish it had nothing to do with doctors," She smilo'd atid Bald gently/ " Ah, so do I." ; "What do they say ? ■.-- —- ~ " Aunt does not tell me all. She is afraid of alarming me. I fancy this case is a very badone." " Is it of long standing V "No. Only a few months." "I understand you have no other relative in the world but Miss Gay ?" "Not one." " Suppose the doctor's report is unfavour able, what will you do ?" " Go back to the country with aunt. " And what will you do then ?" "Wait." ' As she said this word file cast her eyes down, itndiie could»eeaereyelid» were heavy with tear.'. How ho wished and prayedshe riiightcouietoLondouwhouallwasovert Ho coultl riot btfar the notion of her going away now. He made tip his mind that as soon as her aunt died sho sllotild eorae to London and live with Mrs Brooks. "We could take care of the poor child," he Said in hia heart. Aloud he said, " Could you pot ruauage to stay in London ?" " Ah, no. The doctors say London will not do. We must get away to the sea, Torquay or Bournemouth, I am not sure which." " Mrs Brooks has been giving me a most enthusiastic account of your playing. Are you very fond of music?" "Yes", very. I care for nothing in tbc world so much." " And who are your favourits com posers ?" , • " Mendelssohn and Fchubert," ;j. "Do you play much ?"' ' • " Not nearly bo much us.l mod." "Why have you given up playing so much ?" : "Ah," she sighed and gbook, her head. "I daresay because I,am getting old aud lazy." .. ! " ,'Mayl hope you will play a little to* nightr vi; . ...... " I will play with great pleasure onJy not too long." She played for half an boar, and Colthurst listened enchanted.. He knew nothing of music himself, but he loved it dearly. Be h'nd never before heard anything bo weird, so soft, bo tender, so spirituelle. It was like the sighing of forlorn winds in mystic groves, lie could not play the simplest air, but lie could interpret the most intricate, or, at all events, all airs had meanings for him ; right or wrong, he did not pause, he did not care to inquire. At the end of half an hour the aunt came and said, " That is enough for to-night child." ' CoUtmrit rose to go, and in taking leave, he said : VYdu liayo given me'only an uppetitcf 01 your music. May I, Miss Gay," turning to the elder lady, "come another nfahtf' " 'i'! ;, " ';' ■.":■ ■" ; , "Certainly." We shall be very glad to see you if you will not mind our being rude, and turning you out curly. Weliveby rule, v'ou know, -and we must take no Jiber-. ties." Four delicious evenings passed away in, the same manner, and then came bad news : they were leaving to-morrow for Torquay.' She told him, with a smile, the doctor* bad said no time phould be lost. They were to go, and at once, the east wind now blowing being most injurious. . He was greatly grieved they were going so soon. When were they likely to be back again in Lon don? '."-.'.. "We do not' know. We cannot say. Perhaps never." .... " Yon niil«t,«il bmjt, .that Rni-nly you will come back'again." , '' That will depend in a great measure on how we get on at Torquay." 1' But jou — you will surely come back to see us once again ? I am sure Mrs Brooks would do anything she could for you. She is the most kind-hearted woman in the world." For an instant the habitual faint smile left the face of the girl, ; dud her eyes half filled with tears. Her lips trembled, and she said, in a low unsteady voice, "I am sure she would be kicd to me, Kvery one isso kind to me/ lam sony I have to go away. ~ , ~- "But you will come back, .won't, you ?" he pleaded. . ( . She looked up suddenly, with the brightest smile he had ever seen on her face, saying, }f Perhaps I may, I'll try. Now, Life went back to its old course at Man ville square. , Some other people came and occupied the rooms where she had been., Day after day Edwin Col.hur.st watched the summer ripen and the green deepen in the foliage of .the square. Day by day he dreamed of her return, and of delicious evenings spent .within the charm of her voice, the magic of her presence. As he drove in and out of town he conjured with her image until .all the recesses of his memory were filled up with pictures of her.; He..wouldhavegiven anything hepo?se* Bed to; write to her, to get a single line from her/.i but although the period of their acquaintance had been long enough for him to fall in love it had not been long enough to warrant him ia asking to be allowed to wite. The summer waned' and autumn was at hand. Still co word came from the guests of June. The rich green of the foliage was here and there touched by the first foreboding finger of decay.' Morning found a hoar-frost on' the ground, and evening broughta chilly dewjj Old people avoided the inclosure after sun down,-and the delicate chose the sunny side of the square. The buxom housemaid had married the baker's man, and stood no longer at the head of the area-steps with arm akimbo. The birds were getting ready for winter, and saving up their songs to keep the cold out. < It was in the Novemberof lastyearywhenl first fine sifting of snow fell out of the sullen sky, that a letter came to Mrs Brooks. It had a black border, was not in the same handwriting as the former one, and Tanas follows: Dear Mrs Brooks : As you will gather from the edge of this sheet, the worst- has come. ■ I hoped against hope for days and month?'. —Itis a heavy trialrbut'God's will be done. I hope to be with you on Thursday next, when I can tell "you all.—Yours sincerely, Helen Gay. Mrs Brooks looked at the mortuary card and put the card and the letter back into the black-bordered envelope, saying to her self, " They" were both Helens. Poor thing; we must be good to her. Poor thing !" When Colthurst came home she told him the news. He read the letter slowly ; then said :" We must do all we can for her. Yes, poor soul." \, g He took up the mortuary card, read it, stared at it, stared at Mrs Brooks, dropped it, staggered to his feet, and cried : " Good God 1 It is the girl who is dead I" " No, no f' "Ye?. Aged eighteen."—"Tinsley's Magazine."
