....._.. .. .. HAS'/.AltD’S GA'l.E'l"|‘l<). AUGUST 13. A STORY OF ENGLISH LAW (cmiuu) CRAP‘!!! Ill. The letter Stuart had opened in Mrs Her- bert’s resence was s dil followed by seve- ral others, to none 0 whic he thought it ex- ieut to make an re ly. But nftera short interval came one to which he felt disposed to pay attention. It was an ofier from the wretched woman who had worked him so much we, to the efl.-ct that she would, on the receipt ofa certain sum of money, at once emi ate to America, whither some of her frien s were shortly to sail. Stuart was more than willing to a uiesce in this arrangement, and speedily signi ed his consent. With the Atlantic be- tween them, his spirit might feel lightened of some part ofits burden : he could walk freely throu h the world without fearin at every step t not the cause and evidence of is infamy —so he called it—-—would start up and shame him Her departure made no chatigfin his poflilloll: yet. when the vessel which contain- ed her quitted the shores of England, George Stuart felt hiniselfa liap ier man. Six weeks afterwards, lie was startled by the intelligence that that ship was lost. It is not in human nature not to rejoice at deliverance, no matter how i.llL~ctcd. and Stuart may be for- given, if his strong -st feeling for that disaster was one of thunkfuliicss. ln the list ofpassen- gers lost was (Ital one name. Mr. Morgan made no scruple of expressing his satisfaction, and noted with excessive pleasure, that though as quiet in his manner as ever. the relaxe lip and-softened eye of Stuart betrayed far more ti on his words confessed. Both, however, knew that a possibility of mistake existed. 'l'he list of persons saved might have been incomplete, others of the miss- ing passengers might turn up elsewhere. For some months Stuart waited, if not in expecta- tion. yet in readiness. for evidence contradic- tory oi‘ the report; and. not content with wait- ing only, ‘be caused careful inquiries to be made‘ln every accessible quarter, nor till these proved fruitless did he venture to believe him- s:lf free. Is he to be blamed. if in those months his thoughts sometimes reverted to. and dwelt upon her whom he loved, and who, he weal knew. loved him! His love now was very different from the iinpetuous, iingoverii- able feeling of his li()ylIOUll. Experience, sharp and bitter, had tnuglit him how to curb the torrent, and iii the furnace of ulliacticn many passions had been sorely tried. But neither experience nor affliction can annihilate those passions in is noble mind; and though stran e- y altered and subdued, the gushings of is heart were stronger now than ever. lie was no longer a boy, but he had found that of which his boyhood had been disappointed—a pure and gentle spirit to sympathise with his. As months wore on, and Stuart grew satisfi- ed of his own safety, it is no wonder that be relaxed somewhat in his strict self-government. and ever man knows, or on ht to know, that‘ 7 . .5 . when this is the case, a crisis is not The crisis came, and Catherine Herbert listen- ed tothe strange story of his life, ere he would permit her to answer the avowal by which it had been prefaced. But it was soon answered afterwards; and Catherine felt that. if possi- ble, she loved him better now for that very silence which had previously so much distress- I -s o E? e er.

This will bring me to it t- iod more than a year after the loss of the emi- grant-shi Aslibourne, and a very few weeks after Cat erine Herbert had given her hand to Stuart. It was morning, and Stuart was preparing to go out. when he was informed that some per- son wished ‘to see him immediately. Ordering the applicant to be shown into his study. be present! repaired thither himself. How ittle do we know what lies before us!

The easy nonchiilance of the speaker was not without its effect upon Stuart.

Shipwrecks are sad things for up- setting arrangements.‘ ‘ \\'hy did you not stay in America! ’ ‘ '[‘he idea! When every one of my friends was drowned !———Good morning. ma‘um—how do on do!‘ Catherine, believing that Stuart was gone to the office. had come in search of some trifle which had been mislaid, and opened the study- door before she was aware of the room being occupied. fhe word ‘ shipwrecks’ caught ear, and a horrible sus icion darted through her mind. It was spce ily confirmed, for, as Stuart hastily turning, when the stranger greeted her, would have hurried her from the lace, his tormen tor exclaimed, with the same evity as before: ‘ So, then, this is the mis- tress in my husband‘: house !’ Stuart tried to lead Catherine away. but she was fainting on his shoulder. lle ifted her up, and carried her to her room. Presently he returned. ‘ Why are you here l—wha.t do you seek!’ he asked in a voice husky though unbroken. ‘ It was money that was wanted, and obtained. ‘ Go now,’ said Stuart, ‘and come to this house no more, At the olfice you may see or hear from me, but here it is not safe for you to come.’ The dark, almost fierce glitter of his eyes seemed to startle his auditor. She took the money silently, and departed at once. George wrote a couple of lines to Mr. Mor n, beg- ging him to come immediately, and then return- ed to the room where Catherine still lay help- less. The sudden shock had completely un- settled her nervous system; and the doctor, who had been hastily summoned, said gravely that she must be kc t quiet. Quiet s e cer- tainly might be, so ar as the bod was con- cerned. but it would perhaps have een better for her if the fainting-fits which continually re- turned upon her had been more profound or of longer duration. As it was, the intervals of consciousness served to remind her that some -dreadful event. she scarcely knew what, had occurred, and that its consequences were still impending, It is well known, that this kind of -consciousness is very dangerous to rsons o delicate organisation : before the night closed in, ‘ Mrs Stuart‘ was pronounced to be sufl'..-r- ing from brain-fever. Who can describe the agony of him who bent over her couch listening to her wander- ings, and feeling that this was his work! Oh, how deeply he regretted the weakness which had permitted him to accept the love she gave! —how he reprobated the frenzied rashness of his youth !—how, in the bit‘erness of his spirit he cursed the iniquitoushiw which, while offer- ing deliverance to the wealthy, condemned him to this everlastingbonda e ofshame ! In vain, in vain! She for whom he would gladly have given his own life, was dying before his eyes. the victim of his errors ‘Yet, was it so? Was he indeed to blame‘! Purtly—not all. Again. with the fierce wrath of a revengelul, deeply injured man, he execrated that mockery of justice, that solemn pup etry which only gold can set in motion—-the [English law of di- rorce. Mr. Morgan had been with Stuart more than once or twice, but could do little to quiet the tumult of his feelings. Several days had pass- ed ere he began to speak decisively of what he thought advisable. ‘ Everything must be risked now, George,’ ‘said the kind old man . ‘ money must be bed and I will undertake to say that it shall be.’ , ‘ My kind, fiod friend! ' said Stuart sadly; ;‘. but it is too to.’ _ ‘I confess we shall be under several dised. vantage ; but I do not despair, nor must you.‘ A in the other murmured: ' It is too late ;' tr e: -s and it was his own name they formed, burl scarcely uttered.
