CHAPTER LIII.

(Continued. )

At last she was relieved from a most em- barrassing situation by old Wardlaw, he

cried out on this monopoly, and Helen instantly darted out of herchair, and went to him and put up her then

him, which he _ kiased; and

she thanked him warmly for his courage in not despairing of her life, and bis goodness in sending out a ship for her.

Now, the fact is, she could not feel grate- ful; but she knew she ought to be grateful, and she was ashamed to show no feeling at all in return for so much good, so she was eloquent, and the old gentleman was naturally very much pleased at first, but he caught an expression of pain on Arthur’s face, and then he stopped her. ‘My dear,’ said he, ‘you ought to thank Arthur, not me; it is his love for you which was the cause of my zeal. pay it to him, for he deserves it best. He nearly died for you, my sweet girl. no, you musn’t hang your head for that neither. What a fool [ am to revive old sorrows! Here we are, the happiest four in England.’ Then he whispered to her, ‘Be kind to poor Arthur, that is all I ask. His very life depends on you.’

Helen obeyed this order, and went slowly back to Arthur; the sat, cold as ice, on the sofa beside him, and he made love to her. She scarcely heard what he said, she was asking how she could end this intolerable interview, and escape her father’s looks, who knew.the real state of her heart.

At last she rose, and went and whispered to him:

‘My courage has failed me. on me, and get me away. It man; he kills me.’

General Rolleston took the hint, and acted with more tact than one would have given him credit for. He got up and rang the bell for tea; then he said to Helen, ‘You don’t drink tea now, and I see you are excited more than is good for you. You had better go to bed.’

‘Yes, papa,’ said Helen.

She took her candle, and ‘as she passed young Wardlaw, she told him in a low voice, she would be glad to speak to him alone to-morrow.

‘At what hout?’ said he, eagerly.

‘When you like. At one.’

And so she retired, leaving him in ecstacies. This was the first downright assignation she had ever made with him. They met at one o’clock; he radiant as the sun, and a rose in his button-hole, she sad and somber, and with her very skin twitching at the thought of the explana- tion she had to go through.

He began with amorous commonplaces; but she stopped him gravely. ‘Arthur,’ said she, ‘yo. and I are alone now, and I have a confession tomake Unfortunately, I must cause you pain—terrible pain, Oh, my heart flinches at the wound I am going to give you; but it is my fate either to wound you or to deceive you.

During this preamble, Arthur sat amazed, rather than alarmed. He did not interrupt her, though she paused, and would gladly have been interrupted, since an interruption is an assistance in per- plexion.

‘Arthur, we suffered great hardships on the boat, and you would have lost me but for one person. He saved my life again and again; I saved his upon the island. My constancy was subject to trials—oh, such trials! So great an example of every manly virtue forever before my eyes! My \gratitude and my pity forever pleading ! | England and you seemed gone forever. | Make excuse for me if yon can. Arthur— I—1 have formed an attachment.’

{n making this strange avowal she hung her head and blushed, and the tears ran down her cheeks. But we suspect they ran for him, and not for Arthur.

' Arthur turned deadly sick at this tre- 'mendous blow, dealt with so soft a hand. At last he gasped out, ‘If you marry him, you will bury me.’

‘No, Arthur,’ said Helen, gently, ‘I could not marry him, even if you were to permit me. When you know more, you will see that, of us three unhappy ones, you are the least unhappy. But since this is 80, am 1 wrong to tell you the truth, |and leave you to decide whether our en- 'gagement ought to continue? Of course, | what I have owned to you releases you.’

‘Releases me! but it does not unbind my heart from yours,” cried Arthur, in despair.

Then his hysterical nature came out, and he was so near fainting away that Helen sprinkled water on his temples, and applied /eau de-cologne to his nostrils, and mur- -mured, ‘Poor, poor Arthur! Oh, was I | born only to afflict those I esteem ?’ He saw her with tears of pity in her eyes, and he caught her hand, and said, \*You were always the soul of honor; keep faith with me, and I will cure you of that unhappy attachment.’

‘What! Do you hold me to my engage-

‘I submit to it.’

ditions. You are my queen, as well as my love and my life.’

Helen hesitated. It shocked her deli- cacy to lower the man she had consented to marry.

‘Oh, Helen,’ said Arthur, ‘anything but secrets between you and me. Goon as you have begun, and let me know the worst at once.’

‘Can you be very generous, Arthur?— generous to him who has caused you so much pain?

‘lil try,’ said Arthur, with a groan.

‘I would not marry him, unless you gave me up; for Lam your betrothed, and you are true to me. I could pot marry him, even if | were not pledged to you; but it so happens, | can do him one great service

‘Did I not tell you?—to clear his char- acter of a foul stigma, and restore him to England, and to the world which he is so fitted to adorn.’

“Yes, yes,’ said Arthur; ‘but who is it? Why do I ask, thongh? He must be a stranger to me.’

‘No stranger at all,’ said Helen; ‘but one who is almost as unjust to you as the world has been to him;” then fixing her eyes full on him, she said, ‘Arthur, it is por old friend and tutor, Robert Pen- fold.’

Land and Settlement Association.

The Canadian Gazette announces the formation of the Scottish-Canadian Land and Settlement Association, which has been organized ‘‘to carry out on a large scale the useful and remunerative work which Lady Cathcart has shown in the case of her own crofters meets the present difficulties of the Highland crofters.” Jt is stated that the company has acquired 500,000 acres of the best land for settlement in Canada, at ten shillings an acre, and itis part of the scheme to eneourage settlement by advanc- ing, as did Lady Cathcart, £100 to each settler, interest to be paid at the rate of six percent. perannum, ‘*To Scotch land owners,” says the (/asette, ‘‘the company appeals in the strongest terms, for by association therewith they may claim the application of the company’s emigration plans to their poorer tenants, and by a study &nd judicious use of the opportunities offered may prevent any further difficulties from overcrowding. The capital is £500,000, in shares of £10, of which half is to be. paid up, further capital required to be obtained by the issue of debentures. The Company is under the management of those who carried: out Lady Cathcart’s scheme, in conjunction with other practical men in Canada and Scotland.’ We hope to hear of the stecess of the company; for a more desirable class of immigrants eould not settle in the Northwest of Canada than agriculturalists from ‘‘Auld Scotia.”
