Heedless of tho inconvenience he had gone on using the hand for some days i but it now had become sb swollen and so stiff that be feared his writing would be scarcely legible. Ho did not tell her how he came by the injury; but he so wrote about it that she concluded it to be a sprain or a bruise, brought on by handling heavy goods while the vessel was lading ot "ThT'ncxt letter consisted of only three lines. His hand had been dressed by a surgeon, and was now bound up j.so that to write was all but impossible. He was, in fact, forbidden to use it. Except as regar ded this luckless hand, he was well; and, as usual, very busy; , Then came two days of silence, followad by a pencilled word, evidently written with extreme difficulty, in which ho Wldher that ha was just about to weigh anchor ior Ancona. , ~,.,,, At first, the girl had thought lightly enough of Donato's accident. A daughter of Ihc people, she had not been so toftly reared as that she should fret because her lover chanced to ?prain a wiist, or bruise a finger. She would have been ashamed to take alarm at so trifling a mischance. But now, as day after day went by she began to teel vaguely uneasy. . , , , , " I cannot think why bis hand does not get well, little uncle!" she said going back to the subject for lite third or fourth time sinca Stcfano Bcni had come hon.o from work. . The wheelwright, smoknif? his after supper pipe, shrugged hi* Bhouldcrs by way of answer. " It has been going on for eight—nine— ten days; and gettiii g worse instead of better." "An ; but those thing', you know are slow to cure." " Those things I" she repeated, quicdy. " What things? He hai never thought to tell me how it happened ! 1 should feel easier if I knew exactly what was the matter, " Nay. my littles girl ; I think you are worrying yourself about nothing." s»i'i <>ld Stefimo, kindly. " Our Signor Capitano is not one to take notice of a trifle." "It may liuve been a trille at the be gi itiirig ; but is it a trifle now 1 Keincinber Ciiictimo Albcri!'' ((Jiietimo Alberi was a young coopers apprentice, who had once upon a time lodged in tin; Oslcria del Ciippello.) "That it not a case iv point, my little giil. The lad was a beginner, and did not know how to handle his tools." " 15ut it shows how a trille may end. Everyone said it was nothing at all-a mere scratch! But his arm swelled and turned black ; and his teeth became fixed ; aud the poor boy died of starvation !" "That was from a wound, child! He contiivcd to cut through come muscle in liis hand ; and the place gangrened, aud it b-ought on lockjaw. Who ever heard of lockjaw being caused by a Fprain or a bruise ?" " We don't know that it is a sprain or a Ijniise. It may be a wound I" she said, jhndderinsrly. " Not likely}" "Not likely, do you say? You forget that 'Linn Pe/.zi never found the other half of tint kuife." The whcelwiight took his pipo from his mouth. He looked startled. " l'er Bacco !" Till this moment, he had never seriously connected Ceaarc Uonato with that midnight scuillo under the archway. He had made ocrtaiu tbatit wasa mere vetturiuos' quarrel, Biich as they had seen among the meu in the courtyurJ, many a time already. But now :obeßure,the thiuglooked doubtful. There ivus 'i'onio Moretti's battered condition on the one hand ; there was Cetare Louato's arcidml on the other. As regarded time \ and place, the eoinci'Unce was strange if foiutoii". Til* m<>ti»e, again, would rot be far to seek. Jealeißly.lopportuaity, ten- I neance— no element of jlot or passion was waiting ! Therefore Stefauo Bcni's iocie ■lulity wan at last shaken. Therefore h« took his ripe from his lips, and exclaimed —" l'er Bacco !" Then, talking it over with his neice, he counselled La Giulietta to prcHs her lover for the facts, and to tell him evciything. l!y '• everything," he tucautailabout 'Touio Morctti'.i courtship and rejection ; all about that broken knif«-blade, and those pools of blood under the gateway. " If he cannot use his hand," said the wheclwiight, •' he will get tomeone to write for him. At all events you will then know the worst," The advice was good : but, like good advice in general, it was hard to follow. How could La Giulietta write these thiDg* to her lover? How could she tell him that long story about 'Tonio Moretti—'Xonio the beaten, the battered, the rejected, of whom Ccsare Donato knew not even so much as his name ? It would be ungenerous, and she could not do it. But she nevertheless wrote a letter that evening, when her uncle was gone 'to bed. In this letter, with Buch insistence as her love and her fervid native tongue inspired, she entreated Donato to let her know exactly how he cauc by the accident ; above all, to tell her if itwas a " cut-wound ' —for of a ' ' cut-wound " in the hand, she entertained the deadliest terror. Then, lest ho should deem her anxiety baseless, she recounted the history of the lad Gaetano *lberi, telling how he had maimed his hand with an adze ; aud how, although the injury was at first so slight that he scarcoly even thought to bind the hand up, he at last died In agony. "He was the only son of a widow,1' she wrote, " and tha widow lives still. She is very poor and solitary ; and she shares on<j small attic with another old woman as poor and solitary as herself. If I lost you Cesare, my well-beloved, I should pray to the Madonna to take me to you at once—as I pray to her now to give you back to me in safety." It was a long letter—the longest the girl had ever written ; and she sat up writing it till an hour past midnight, by the great clock in the Piazz del Signori. She heard its iron tongue above all the church clocks at Verona. But Ceoare DoDafo's answer, written with almost all his accustomed freedom of pen, completely reassured her. He was in harbour at Ancona, where he found her letter awaiting him. His hand was much betler. Tho accidont had been very slight • so slight that he should not even have men tioned it to her except as it was necessary to account for the short ne?s of his letters and the imperfections of the writing. As for " out wounds " and " lockjiws " be laughed the idea to scorn. She must banish such nervous fancies; for, in truth, nothing could b« further from the facts. A little local inflammation, a little swelling, a little stiffness, and all was summed up. These ' symptoms had now so far abated that by the time she should receive this letter, he would bavo recoTCred thejf till use of his hand. " There 1" said Stefano Beni. " Did I not tell you so ! If you want a downright answer, you must ask a downright question. There's nothing like plain dealing, And now, my little girl, I suppose your heart is set at rest ?" Yes; her heart was set at rest. Once again she rejoiced in tbe blessed assurance of her lover's safety ; pnee again, too, she formally acquitted "Tonio Moretti. And yet —And yet, even now, Cesaro Donato, had not told bcr how he came by bis accident !

CHAPTER LV. "FRIEND PETER." We have seen how the winter months were spent by Lancelot Brackenbury; how, living a hermit-life among tbc ruins of Old Court, he drudged manfully though his multitudi nous duties, and became, in very act and deed, his brother's successor. For Winifred Savage, tho time went by more monoton ously, but, on the whole, more happily. The woman's patience, tho woman's adaptability to circumstances, were hers. She found herself, as it were, landed for awhile upon a quiet plateau whence she could look back upon the years that were gone, and forward to tho years that were lo come. And though her burthen hitherto had not been exceptionally heavy, nor her path very thickly set with thorns j yet some thorns there had been, and some weight of burden ; and at all events she was weary. Ho, being weary, she found it good and pleasant thus to rest awhile half-way between the old life and the new. And in what a peaceful round the days and weeks slipped by, repeating themselves like the refrain of an old-fashioned melody ! There were the morning hours of art-study in Horr Kriiger's ' atelier'; the afternoon walks with Kitchen and Brenda, varied now and then, when the snow was hard, by a sleighing excursion to Schleissheim or Sclrwancck ; the quiet evenings given up to reading, working, and music; the cheerful meals ; the simple worship at morn and even, when with a prayer was begun, and with a hymn was ended, the labour of the day.

But Winifred's happiest hours were those which she spent in her own pretty room that boudoir-studio, with its window looking to the Alps, which Lancelot had furnished with all things fair aud fitting for her use. Here she loved to sit, reading the books ho had given to her ; thinking of him ; writinc to him ; dreaming dreams of the happy future ; and enjoying a solitude that was never lonely. In that room, ■whichever way she turned, her eyes rested upon something either beautiful in itself, or

beautiful in its association wifiTk On the walls, in plaia bhek lram» B out with gold, hung a few good DrL P/'M rJtchin ßa -t c 'Belle Jardin?£ 'anil flauaelle; Michael Adrclo'3 «vf- -°?

V P^i for the art that ennobled that hh T upetairs room. For music, tbcr» ■ y a little white^vootl cottage pia n ,WaB Zurich make, and a pile of small v mr oJ lettered Mozart Hadyn, Mende !& Beethoven, Schubert. I'or readingTr • bcokcise stocked with such books asLo y lot was sure she cither loved alreaX ' would love when she koew them • rk lOtI Ot pcare first; then Milton, Spencer W« I s" worth ; Homer and l'lalo in traiulalim, Hacon'sandMacaulay'sEssayejsomcofir' litt, someof De Quincoy, some of Lci»h Tt, 1' Schlegcl'fl Dramatic Literature ;" Sir to ! Reynolds' "Ditcouises ;" Flaxrßan'B"t" a ures on Sculpture ;" and the first Ji * volumes (being all yet published) of a S called 'Modern Painters,' about which th wan beginning to be much talk juat now ? the literary and arlistic world. WhetfT this catalogue arc added the names of tW old friends whom Winifred had brought with her horn The Grange—Dante Arifw White's' Selborne,'Longfellow's'Hyp er S Tcnnyfou's 'In Mcrroriaru,' and Lane's translation of 'The Arabian Night3'-itwill be seen that she -was suflicicntly independenf of Pastor Kreutzmann's learned shelves downstairs. Then, besides her prints and her casts, and her books, there was an easel for her use, when she should be disposed to woik at home; a writing-table, a reading, desk, a lamp, chairs aDd a couch covered with shining chinlz; the inevitable German stove up in one corner; and on a bracket between the windows, an elaborately carved Swi« clock, like an Obcrland chalet, inhabited by the liveliest and most punctual of wooden cuckoos. There are few plcasanter.tasks than that of Raiding the.footsteps of one whom we dearly love; and Lancelot, whileturrounding h et with beautiful things, was in fact• forming Winifred's taste in many mattets of which till now she had known little or nothing Her scanty education, and the profound retirement in which her three-and-Uventy years of life had been spent, excluded ker of necessity from the world of Art. Sh e heard no music at Langtrey Grange j tU saw no pictures; she had access to only a few books. And yet she was not ignorant, Thebooks were few; butitwaasurprieingliow much she had got out of them. It has often been said that to know one good book, and1 to know it thoroughly, is worth all the alight acquaintance with all the light literature in the world. Now Winifred Savage's few books were of the best. She knew some of them—Dante, Shakespeare, and Milton pretty nearly by heart; and to be fast friends with any of these three is in iteelfa liberal education. Shi owed her intimacy with Milton to the classic taste of old Lord Brackenbnry in whose estimation, " the poet blind yet bold ' stood second to none but Homer, lie was wont to say that he rr^arded the appreciation or non-appreciation of 1 Lycidas ' as the ciucial test of a man's, ability to enjoy poetry of the highest order; and he made it his especial care so to educate Mies Savage's taste that she should not only feel tho majesty of Milton's "mighty line" in 'Paradise lost,' kt that she should also be sensible of the learned pathos of his Doric elegy. Her copy of Milton was one of bis many gifts, and it bore her name in his handwriting on the fly-leaf. For her knowledge of Dante, on the other hand, she was indebted to Cuth bert Brackenbury'a rare Italian scholarship. At ooe time, while a* yet their engagement was tacitly understood rather than formally ratified, Winifred used quite regularly to read and analyse, with the young man's lulp, a page or two of the ' Divina Com media ' every AVednesday afternoon ; that being the day on which he was wont to pay his weekly visit at The Grange. 'Iheee analytical readings led to the loan of many books from the library at Brackenbury Court; and Winifred, before she was seyenteen, had read, or at all events, skimmed, the majority of Guicciacdini's tweuty, andSismondi'ssixteen volumes; to, say nothing of Ilallam and other writers on medieval literature. ~-. So much for her Milton and her Clute. These came to her, as "the gifts ot lor tune," from without ; but her Shakespeare, like reading and writing, seemed to come "by nature." It was, at all events, a home-found treasure. In the bottom of a dard and dusty cupboard in a little ground door room where the old Squire, Winifred's, Grandfather, was wont erewhite to keep his accouuts, his fishing-tackle, his pipes,l tobacco, whips, spur, ammunition, top-bootsj and a miscellaneous collection of foxes ' ruihec, stuffed birds, and the lik«, she one day found a precious store of long-forgotten books—some oad volumes of the ' Tatler' and 'Spectator,' Boswell's 'Life of Johi1 son,' a bundle of early numbers of ' The Gentleman's Magazine" a much-thumbed Walton and Cotton's ' Compleat Angler,' and a battered copy of the second Folio of Shakespeare, dated 1632. It was such it shabby old t>ook,so worm-eaten, dog-eared and cropped,that it was a wonder it had Hot lnnjfsinca gone to light the fires, or old Squire Langtrey's pipes. ' ",* The martins too were scribbled all over; in places with childish pencilliugs ; while here and there, laid carefully away between; the leaves, were scraps of ancient news paper-cuttings, and receipts for the making' of frumenty, syllabubs, and such other dainties, written in faint Drown ink by the hand of some good housewife of perhaps, more than a century ago. The book, how-; ever, was very nearly perfect. It wanteoY only a page or two at the end, and half' the title. The rare old portrait was there; and Ben Jonson's verses on the opposite leaf. were not missing. • ' !l Lord Brackenbury, when he found' his' coal, was not richer than Winifred Savftf»e; when she unearthed that dilapidated Shakespeare. It may, indeed, be doubted5 if the possession of the coal ever gave toahy: of its successive owners one tithe of the (ielight and enjoyment with, which ihelonely I child (then little more than nine years of: age!' found heruelf suddenly landed onl Prosperous enchanted isle, threading the green thickets of the Forest of Ardrn/; Jistening to tho hammering of the aimooref in the camp at Agiacourt, and tO_ the1 melancholy wash of the waves where Timbu' lay " entomb'd upon the very hem o1 ■ thfl eea." For years-that is to say, up to the' time when the great feud was made up, and^ books from Biackenbury Court began to find their way to Langtrey Grange—that volume represented her whole stock of imaginative Literature. Story-books, poetry-books, picture-books, she had none. While other girls of her age were reading Miss Edgeworth and Joanna Baillie, .YFidiv fred Savage was deep in Macbeth and King] L«ar, • ':,rwl Thus it came to pass that she was very; well-read and very ill-educated. She could. analyse Dante, but her ignorance of dcci-, mals was appalling ; and she knew nothing of " dancing, deportment, and the use ,of globes." jr. Though not, perhaps, quite duly sensibls. of the enormity of these shortcomings, the girl worked hard all through that winter in. Muuich. German she acquired, almost without being aware of it, and although, it ■ is not given to even a heaven-born geniusto» master the methods of Art in three months,, she, at all events, learned to express rounded., form in outline, and penetrated themye teries ot light, tone, and shadow. Above all, she acquired the invaluable ait of seeing correctly; an art which most people fancy, they possess, but which is in truth as rare as that of right thinking. J iiM For some weeks, Herr Kriiger set his new; pupil to draw from easts; and it was not, till the crocuses lifted their yellow and pnr pie heads above the snow in his neglected; garden, that he one day put a lump of clay and some modelling tools before her, and bade her try to copy Michael Angelo's mask of a satyr. For this attempt she got some, praise, which on Hcrr Krugcr' lips was not common. ~ " Go on as you have begun," he said, and you may compete at the 'Kuost-' Verein'nextaulumo." Her fellow-students marvelled that, beinjj thus encouraged, the young ' Euglanderinn, only looked pleased, aud was sileut. , " Had the manter said that to me, I should have kissed his hand, aud wept for joy • • said one. She did not utter a word !" exclaimed, another. " ' Ach Himmel!' these English arc as cold as ice, and as proud in Lucifer • chimed in a third. * . But Winifred knew that long enouga before the time lor that autumn competition should come round, she would have cease* to occupy an easel in Herv Kriigtrs studio. (To he (.ontinutd on Saturday.)
