" And con you lind out ab mt the schools in Munich?" " I dare *ay I could do that also ; but, candidly, I do not like the idea." "Why not!" "For fovea! resworn- one being that Munich is alitlle St. Peten-buigh in winter, nnd tluit to-morrow will le the fir-.t of December. The city standi on a plateau some seventeen or eighteen bunded feet above the level of tho sea." " Yes ; I have read about it. The country is sometimes covered with snow for months, and people go about with sleighs with bell*. I should like it very mucb." " I don't tbink you would like the life in a Bavarian school; or tbe society of Ccrman schoolgirls, till sansige and sentimsnt." " Nay, lam not bard to please. If they are kind to me, I shall like them well euoueh." " Then you would feel lonely among strangers in a strange land— yon who know nothing of foreign life. Think how you would miss the familiar faces—the old people —the . . . ." She interrupted him impatiently. •'But I want to miss tbeni—dou't you understand ? The familiar faces and places are all pain to me now. 1 want to get away from them. If I can but go somewhere far away, and learn new things, and try to for get old ones—that lis what will be best for me ! I am more lonely here than I could be anywhere else." • " But Winifred . . . ." " Ah, no, you don't understand ! Yon don't know how dearly I loved her—perhaps I hardly koew it myself! And dow every thing reminds me of her. . . I must go awa>'-" ,- .v u-J Tbey had been standing on the bridge ; but as Winifred said these last words, she turned toward the house. "And for how long?" asked Lancelot, following her, " For a year. I shall be glad enough to come back to the old place and the old lite by the Christmas comes round again ; but that one year I must have." They passed under the gateway and crossed the courtynid. where Winifred's white pigeons were industriously strutting to and fro, searching between Ihe stone? for any stray grains that might yet remain frota their midday Iced. " Shall we sit here ':" she said, when tbey came to the porch. "Itis so dreary in the house." ■ There was a deep recess on each side ot the door, and in each recess a seat supported on grotesque brackets; and these seats and brackets, aod the ceiling carved with tbe Langlrey arms and motto, and tbe worn, uneven floor, and the massive mediwval door studded with huge nail", and the clustered and twisted columns outside, were all in old black oak. Here they sat—Lancelot trifling gloomily with his riding whip ; Winified shrinking back into the g'oom of the corner opposite. For some minutes, both were silent. He had been telling bim»elf all along thst she must have change of scene. He bad thought it all out, in fact, and arranged her winter for her in his own mind and in his own way. It wns annoying to find her with plans made and matured. "You could not stay here alone all through the winter," be paid, presently. "I know that, of course. I came today, indeed with the idea of talking it over with yon."' fhe looked up, but said nothing. "You know that I have relations in Italy —a widowed aunt (my mother's eldest sister) and ti score of Lalian enosine. more or less. I have not seen them since Ijwas a boy ; bet Cnthbert used to visit them now and tbep. They are decent people enough, and live in o plen-ant part of the country, not far from Pistoia. My aunt always spends her wint<r3 in Rome. She knows you quite well by name. How would it. be if you went to her for a few mon»h« ! she would not be like a stranger; and Rome would be pleasanter than Munich." " I would rather be with strangers—l pre fer Munich," replied Winifred quickly. For she felt that to be among those who would consider themselves privileged not only to condole with her in the present, but to sympathise with her as regarded the past" would he ot all torments the most in tolerable. " Then Munich, I suppose, it 18 to be, he said, seeing that her mind was resolved. "Yes." " And as soon as possible !" " .An soon as possible. Can Igo next week !" " I fear not. I think you must make np your mind to wait ten days or so. How ever, I will do my best As for The Grange, you may be quite easy on that head. I will be your head steward, and Mellor shall come over two or three times a week." Now Mellor was bailiff for the Bracken bury property ; and she knew that all would go well in his hands. "Thank you, Lancelot." she said, simply ; " you are very good to me." " And to whom should I be good, if not to you ?" He wailed, as if for an answer; bnt no answer came. Then thero was another silence, interrup ted presently by the opening of the house door and the appearance of Mrsßridget, who came to say that luncheon was waiting. It was, in vulgar truth, dinner ; for old Miss Langtrev had been used, after her brother's death, to keep farm-house hours and live on farm-house fare. But Mrs Bridget had a Keen sense of the family dignity; and, finding Lancelot in the porch, she judiciously translated "dinner" as " luncheon." "Winifred rose, expecting him to follow ; but he put out his hand instead. " Good-bye," he said. " I will try to arrange about Munich for you; but_ I don't think you will see me back again nnder a week." Then turning to the old woman, " 1 need not ask you to take care of your young lady, Mrs Bridget. You have done that always." "Indeed, sir—my lord, I mean—l have tried to do my best," replied Mrs Bridget. "And now, more than ever, she needs all that yon can do for her." "That's true, my lord." And, putting the corner of her apron to her eyes, the old lady retired with a series of curtseys. Lancelot still held Winifred's hand. It lay in his, as cold and almost as pale as snow. " I can do nothing more for you ?" he asked. " Yes, indeed I—and I had almost for gotten it. Do you remember Lettise Leigh?" "Lettice Leigh?" " That handsome, fierce-looking girl, who used to live with the Corbishlys on Burfie'd Moor, after her father died. She went away some years ago, nobody knew where. Is it possible that you have forgotten her?" Lancelot's face darkened. '• I have not forgotten her," he said. "What of her?" " She has come back, I met her just now in the-lanea—with her little boy." " Ah I—she has a child ?" " A beautiful little blue-eyed boy, not a hit like herself. She looks very ragged and wretched, and has been leading a tramp's life, she tells me. And where do you think she has gone for shelter ?" " Not to the moor, I'll answer for it. When a moor-girl breaks with her own people, you know they cast her out for ever." " Lancelot, the poor soul has taken refuge in that horrible hovel at the foot of the Ridfce ; and I want you to roof it in, and patch it up for her, and let her live in it for hfe. if she pleases." "What, Blackpool?" Why,'l was think ing of pulling it down the other day, and only spared it at Cochrane's entreaty, be cause he wants to sketch it the next time ne comes down. But by the way, lheardfrom him this morning ; he wishes me to say everything sympathetic on his part.". "lam much obliged to Mr Cochrane," said Winifred, absently. "He is an excellent fellow—and so clever 1 I don't think you half appreciate him, Winifred. "I beg your pardon ; but I was thinking of Lettice Leigh. May I tell her that she can stay at Blackpool an long as she likes, and lhat you will make it weathertigbt for her ond her poor little child?" " What! spoil Cochrane's sketch and eject old Abel Brunt's ghost—the only ghost I have upon the property ?" "Is Blackpool supposed to be haunted, then ?" " Undoubtedly. And nothing offends a ghost, you know, like putting bis residence in repair. Well, to please you., Winifred, it shall be done." "Thank you, Lancelot." " And now, once ogaiu- good-bye." " For a week ?'' " For a whole week. God bless you. Her lips moved ; but no words came. He lingered a moment- turned quickly away crossed the courtynid, and was gone. Still she stayed in the dusk of the porch listening. She knew that he had gone round to the stables. Perhaps she hoped that he would come buck for another fare well. If so, she waited in vain ; for pre sently sheheard thesound of his horse's hoofs in the stable-yard ; then.fainter as he rode round by the back of the orchard and across the bridge; and then-no more. (To be lontinuti on Saturday.)
