If was about seven on a frosty evening when I arrived at the! imposing entrance of Rutland llall.

"Ah !" said I, "even this, perhaps were scarcely etiquette. No ioubt he stands chafing on the drawing-room hearth jug, and: I have little enough time' to make myself presentable before dinner." So, resigning myself to circumstances. I meekly fol lowed a guide who volunteeiel to conduct me to the chamber assigned to my especial use. " I had tt travel a considerable distance before I reached t. "Dear me" I remarked to myself when I did reach it, "I had expected to find the rooms in such arouse, more eleganlly appointed than this ! ' j 5 ... I made my toilette, and again submitting my - self to my guide, was conveyed tp the drawing room door. AH the way down stairs I had been conning pleasant speeches with which to greet iay kinsfolk.

Ah !, George, my dear fel low I said to myself, 'you are not a whit chan ged!'. ' . Arriving at this conclusion, T raised my glance, and met, full, the observant gaze of a pair of largo shrewd grey eye3. My little hos tess for the time being was regarding me with such a curiously legible expression on her-face,' that I could not but iead it and be amused. It said plainly: "I knew more about you than you think, and I pity youi You1 come here with expectations which- will not be fulfilled. There is much mortification .in store for you. I wonder you came - here at all. If I were once well outside these gatos I should never limp in side them again.

The lanrruajre of the face was as simple to me as though every word had been translated into my ear. Perhaps a certain internal light, kindled long ago, before this little orphan was born, or George Rutland had become o wner of Rutland Hall, assisted me in deciphering s6 much information so readily. However that may bo, certain things before surmised became assured faets in my mind, and a quaint bond of sympathy became at once es tablished between me and my companioh. " Miss "Rny," l said, "what do you think of man who, having been abroad for 'fifteen years, has. the impudence to come home with out a shilling in his pocket ? Ought he not to be stoned alive V " I thought how it was,r said she, shakinar ner nead, and looking up with, another ot her shrewa' glances. " I knew it, when they put you into such a bad bedroom. They are keep ing all the good roomc for the people who are coming next week. The house will be full for Christmas. It won't do," she added, medita tively. " What won't do ?" I said. ' Year not.ha.ving a shilling in your pocket. They'll sneer at you for it, and the servants wilt find itout. I have a guinea that old Lady Thornton gave me on my birthday, and if you would take the loan of it I should be very gtad. I don't want it all, and you could pay me back when you are better off. She said this with such business-like gravi- guinea. I suggested as much to'Teecie one evening as she sat by, watching the . distribu tion, and she nodded her head in sage satisfac tion. She' thought that I economised' my sub stance very well. It covered a great many sman extravagances j mat guinea did. Whatever might be my position at Rutland IJall, Teecie Ray's was deeply intolerable. A spiritless brave must, have beeti cowed and bro ken by it: a nature less delicate must have been blunted and made coarser The servants' openly neglected her, the childrenused her as they pleased; wreaked their humors on her sparing neither blow nor taunt in their passions' and demanding fro'm her at aJUimes whatever service it suited their capricious fancy to need. Nurse, the only one who over showed a grain of consideration for the orphan, would sometimes shield hCr from their impish attacks, when she could do so with safety to hersejfj'but she was not permitted to deal with those darlings in th only fashion which would have been atalljikely to bring them to reason. As .for the elders of the house, Teecie Ray's momentary presence, or the mere mention of her name, was sufficient to rufiTe their peace of mind. Whatvis to, be done with that girl I heard 3irs.
