What key was it! .What would fc it open t For whom was it intended ? Theao were questions that no one seemed able to answer. At last one youth bolder than the rest, ventured to'ask Frau Kreutz mann for what purpose the key was placed thoro. Kiitchen and Brenda looked at each other and smiled. Frau Kreutzmann rubbed her hands, aud nodded mysteriously. " Tho key ? So !—if any ono is curious about the key," said she, ''let him take it kown, and boo what is written on the Thus empowered, the youth fetched an alpenstock with a chamois-horn tip, and hooked the key off in triumph. A dozen hands were immediately held up. "Nein, ncin," said ho, " I have taken it down, and I will be first to read it." Still mounted on his chair, he unfolded the label, turned it this way and that, looked blank aud tossed it to the nearest bystander. "Make what you can of it 1" said he. "It's (7i-eek to me." " What is it ? Latin—French—Eng lish ?" " Let me look at it ?" " Ask Uncle Kreutzmann I" " I think it is in English—and that it is for Fraiilein Winifred," said the Pastor. And so it was. A common iron key, not without a touch of rust on the handle—a key some three or four inches long, and addressed in Lancelot's handwriting, "ToMiss Savage, for what it may be worth." " For me?—'for what it may be worth !' What docs it mean ?" she asked, confusedly; for all eyes wore turned upon her. " I promised yon a Christmas box," said Lancelot; "and here it is." "But what am Ito do with it ? Docs it open auything'?" " It is the key of the Blue Closet." " The Blue Closet ?" "Which, unliko Bluebeard, I give you leave to open." " I am very grateful ; but where is the Blue Closet, and what am I to do with your six headless wives, when I havo opened it?" " They arc yours to deal with as you may think lit. You can sketch them, model them, annihilate them,l or bury them. Yon have but to find the door, turn the key, and take possession." Smiling and puzzled, Winifred looked from ons to another. There was some playful mystery licre, and the Kreutzmanns were in the secret. " MtcliMi will tell mo I" she said. But Kiitchen refused, and no one would enlighten her. She must search the castle, lino the Bluo Closet, and solve tho riddle herself. Supper being announced, there was now a rush to the dining-room, where a mighty meal was provided. Vor thougji wontthem -elves to fare with primitive simplicity, the Kreutzmanns knew when and how to be profusely hospitable. At Christmastime especially, when tho good Pastor's kinsfolk were met beneath his roof (and the poor throßßftd ah"Ul hit door, it might with truth bo said that — It anuwiid in.hya house of moate and drlnke. And now, the feast was Homeric in its plenty, the appetites of the revellors were no less heroic. Mountains of cold veal and ■sliced 'vorst' perished at the first onslaught; Westphalia hams melted like snow before the i-uu ; cakes ot marvellous device vanished like the baseless fabiic of a vision ; and Bairitcue beer flowed as freely as methegliu in the hulls of Odin. At length when young and old had alike performed prodigies of valour, the paity broke up ; those *ho lived in Munich and its environs dispersing to their homes, while those who came from afar oil' were .tccommodatcd, some with beds In the house, aud others with lodgings in the town. Having shown her guests to their several fltiiutcrs, Frau Kreutzmann prepared to see Winifred up to her room. This was a little act of kindly attention which she aud Her nieces performed every night as in variably as the clock struck ten. To-night, however, late as it was, they lingered at die toot of the staire, as if there was some thing yet to bo done. " Are you too tired to go ia search of. the Blue Closet, ' liebo' Winifred?" said Brenda. " You would hare me believe that there is a Blue Closet ?' " Can you doubt it ?" said Frau Kreutz mann. " You have the koy." " Which opens nothing !" But the girls protested that the key was actually the key of the Blue Closet; so, humouring what fcemed to her a somewhat pointless jest, Winifred suflercd herself to be conducted from corridor to corridor, from door to door, always trying the key, and always trying iv vain. At length their round brought them to Winifred's own door, aud Winifred's owd door, it will be remembered, was last but one at the extreme end of the upper conidor. Here then her ijuest must terminate. " So there is no Blue Closet after all!" " Way dear child, you must persevere till you find it j" taid lrrau Kreutzmann. " But neither Christine's room nor my own is a Blue Closet ; and the end room h empty. How can I persevere farther, unless by goina out upon the roof ?" ' " Brave heart holds fast to the last; faint heart fails on the threshold," said Katchcn, quoting a Bavarian proverb. " Why not try tho end room ? ;I said Brenda. " Ah !—it is the end room V She was tired ; perhaps a little weary of the fruitless jest; But something in Brenda's look and tone roused her curiosity. '1 he door of tho end room was locked. She listened ; but all was silent within. Then she turned the key ; and for the first time, lock and key fitted, " Some one is inside !" she said, drawing back quickly. "No one, dear child." " But I see a light!" "What of that! Nay, go in—fear nothing !" Fear! Did Frau Kreutzmann suppose that she was afraid ? Granted that her heart was beating a trifle quicker, it was with anticipation—not fear. She smilod, turned the handle, and went in. The empty room was an empty room no longer. It was a sculptor's studio and a lady's boudoir in one. There were flowers iv the window.", engravings on tho walls, warm rugs on the floor; iv ono corner a stove, a piano, aud a writing- table; yonder a couch for rest—an easel for work-casts to draw from—books for study. " Well, my child—well, dear FraiiJein," ;aid Frau Kreutzmann, delightedly. What say you to the Horr Baron's Christmag n ro . M>nt ? What do you think of jour Blue Closot?" CHAPTER XLIX. IN THE ENGLISCHEE GARTEN. "By Heavhn ! I don't know how lam to wrench myself away. And yet, when the hour comes, I suppose I shall take my ticket and my seat, apologise to my opposite neighbour for the lougth of my legs, and look |out of the window when the train moves off, with a face as stolid as if I was not leaving halt my life and all my hores on the banks of the lsar !" "Whilst 1, being only a woman, may lock myself mto my room and cry my eyes out. That is, at all events, one of our few privileges-Avo can howl without dis grace," They were rambling in the Englischcr Garten, beyond which, on the other sido of the river, the Kreutzmanns lived. Having had their portraits taken the other day by a Munich daguerreotypist, they had this morning fetched tho miniatures from the studio ; two of those exquisitely delicate and tenderly tinted heads on silvered plates which we all, with so much justice, admired for a few years, while they were In fashion And now, although it was midday, aud Winifred was due at the pastor's dinner table, the lovers still went lingerim-ly to and fro under the big "trees whose barren boughs, clear cut against the sunshine, marbled the path with shadows. lor Lancelot was goinc back to England by the evening mail; and |tnis was their last walk together. They had the place to themselves, too • for it was universal " mittag's-essen " in Munich ; and streets, andsquares, and parks were all deserted. There was no one to observe them ; no one to listen to them. 1 hey could ramble and talk as they pleased ■ -such disjointed, delicious talk as lover* are wont to indulge in ; all retrospect and project, all castle-building and dream- i wcaviug, interspersed with "Do you re- ' n-ember?" and "Did you suspect!" and oliall you ever forget ?" "I can't say that I ever yet arrived at ", w- -l f Dg^Olntl said I*ncelot, replying to Winifred s exposition of the privileges ot her sex, "but I know I felt bad enough that day when I left you sitting iv the porch, and I

You forget that youC never allowed me to see a single sketch" " How could 1 show my feeble attend to n great artist like you ?" m W Now when Winifred called him a » ntal artist," Lancelot, as if by way of prota drew her hand through his ami, and then held it, caressingly, "c "Ah.no !" he said. "I am notagieat artist. I shall never be a great artatJ now." She looked up inquiringly. The momer, tary shade of hesitation, of regret, cantht her ear at once. 8 "Why 'now'?" she said. "Whatdo mean by ' now ">. " " I mean that the conditions of my W. are changed, and changed in a way that k fatal to my prospects as a painter. Art tolerates no divided duty. A man mm* give his whole soul to it—his -whole time-. his whole powers of observation, of memory of comparison, of study, Even so, the thing he does must always fall thort of the thins he had hoped to do. The greatest painten who ever lived, spent their lives, we may be certain, in the vain pursuit of an nnatliin. able ideal. But, at all events, they did to j spend their lives. They worked at lastu X hard as if they had been masons, or plumhen or joiners, flow, my chances of doing each fair and honest work are over. lam to ! longer free. 1 have other duties—dutiesdn i and distasteful enough for the mostparl; but they are duties, and I cannot escape ' from them." " What sort of duties ? And why need they interfere with your ait that you to I dearly love ? Do you mean your Parliament tary duties ? Surely there are Lords enonglt at Westminster to pass bills and mjie : speeches, without you ?" " I don't mean my Parliamentary duties," he faid, smiling ; " though they must,of I course, count for something. 1 mean my I duties as a landlord. There is a world oi I work of one sort and another invoked in the management ot a large estate; and in ; my case, owing to the peculiar circumstance) j of the last four years, the work falls justM I much the heavier. You have no idea of I] the arrears of business I shall have towadj t.. through when I get back to England," ,; But when that wading is done and over, I you will be free to take up your own work again f " I shall never be free, my darling, as I I was before," said Lancelot, with a sigh, 11 How is it possible? Look at the tenant! -could I leave their interests in thehandi of stewards and lawyers ? I must do ai Uuthbert would have done—and what I know he intended to do. There is his pet project of reclaiming the Danebury Marshei that will be the work of yearn. Above all, there nrc those wretched ' 4mMo\k,' who need reclaiming more fttaa § s Marshes !" . .SIR " You will never succeed in civiliaijto j ' dark-folk.' " "I mean t) try, anyhow. Think ol I what they are—a predatory horde, v X ignorant as savages ; as lawless as banditti. I How can I harbour such a godless lot, aid i not try to make them better? If ever i m plain duty stared me in the face, 'Winifred, :; it is this." And then he went on to tell her of tie things he purposed doing. On a certab part of the moor, where spriDgs were abundant and the soil was less barren than elsewhere, he meant to found a new colony, This colony—it would be too widely scattered to be called a village—would con sist of a number of detached cottages, dotted here and there over the epace of about tiro square miles ; each with its bit of gardo ground, and all within easy distanced i small church and school-house. The cot' • tages once built, he meant to pull dowiiaEt the old cabins, so compelling big 'dark folk' to settle down into like I community. This done, it would be com paratively easy to draw their children tothi school-house; and though the parents would Kj probably be irreclaimable to the last, the . young oues would, at all events, grownpih liabits of decency and order. Thus a net condition of things would gradually be » tablished, and in the course of another generation or two, the vagabond tradition of the race would be forgotten. " You and I may not live to see it, Wini fred." said Lancelot; " but our grandchil dren will surely do co." " It is a good work," taid thegirl, warmly, " I would not have you leave it undone foi I all the world !" 11 And then I have thought that lh« church and schoolhouse might stand thearej dear, in remembrance. . . . " ;: His voice faltered. " In remembrance of—Cuthbert ?" "Ay ; in remembrance of Cuthbert. I have sketched a design for the buildings, ami [ have sent it to an architect for correction, It will be an out-of-the-way spot to live in) but there will be real work to do, and v earnest man—such a man as yourfriend, Mr Ponnefeathcr, for instance—would notthink his life ill-spent in doing it." Winifred looked up eagerly, as if aboutw speak j but checked herself, and waited. "It seems premature to talk of giving | away the living before the church is built said Lancelot j "but I think you would | perhaps like me to offer it to Mr Penne; feather." Z " Oh, Lancelot! it is what I would lava asked, if I had dared." , ■', " I cannot afford to make it worth his ac ceptance. I mean, in fact, to devote the revenue of the past four years to these matters. The money has been accumu lating in Marrables' hands, and I, of course, 1 have not touched a penny of it. It makes* big sum altogether-more than enoneh tt ; draiu the marshes, build the new colony, and endow the living. I suppose tM Pennefeathers would think themselves passing rich with a snug vicarage, adorn nc-.-s nf glebe, and four or five hundred* year?" Winifred could hardly speak for ]W That her lover should serve her friends was even sweeter to her than if she could »«« served them herself. How happy tw would bs, and how happy it made net W think of their happiness! Already,in™ mind's eye, she saw the good husband m wife active, earnest, helpful, reclaiming tM fallen and guiding the footsteps of the weair. Already she saw Mrs Pennefeather release from the drudgery of cheap novel-writing i the children provided with a governess! the overworked father able now and then l» I take a well-earned holiday ! . . : Fain would she have written to her am \ that veryjday, that very hour|; butLancelO! bound her over to silence. She must W» till the plans were ready, the ground niarßeo out, and the endowment papers drawn up. All this would take at least a month. " There is one other good deed tbatjw must remember to do for my sake Lancelot) she said, presently. "I want you. to. W«, friend poor Lettice Leigh." ' „ " What do you wish me to do for her? " Well, to take care of her—to see «»« she and her poor little child want neitner for food nor firing. That cottage is a melo ruin". ... " I bet? your pardon. The cottage is per fectly weathertight—roof and flooring n* paired ; windows glazed and shuttereo, new doors; new fastenings : new Kitcueu i-antre; everything complete and comtori able," "You have done all this ?" . , " Did you not bid me turn out the ghost and mend the roof; aud am I not lue&«"« of the Lamp !"
