• -—— — • CALL EISftTS RSSEETBD.! V ADRIETTA: OR. GRANDFATHER'S ♦HEIRESS. BY MARY KYLE DAI/LAS CHAPTER XII. S T It A N G E T H 0 1jG H T S. D-^pite the verdict of the surgeons, Mr. Brandon was still living and no worse. Yet events had taken place which were calculated to agitate bifil deeply. Following the cablegram-sent by Mr. Andrews, to the effect that Miss Grevel had sailed on the Pene- lope, came a season of anxiety. The Penelope did not arrive at the expected timo. Days passed, weeks, still nothing was heard of her. Then it was believed that she was lost, with all her passengers. Tne invalid, cool and clear of brain as ever, read the papers and received special messages. He was • nxious but not alarmed. "I fret now and then a1 out my little Adrietta," said to the doctor, "but I know she still lives and is coming- to me. I know it in a way that I c 'ot understand. Do you believe in clairvoyance, doctor 1 '■ I scarcely know what to say," said Dr. Jeffi-ys, thinking, "one must humour a patient." "I used to laugh at it," said HK. Brandon, "but or late, I assure you, Jeffreys, I often know what is going on in the next room, in the next house, in the street. I tell Ben who is coming to see me. I feel half afraid of the new power, and as though I were trying to humbug people, but yet it amuses me. Vv'iuie they are talking about the Penelope, I reol sure that Adrietta, is safe on shore—the cab' ■> r i 0 the contrary; she never sailed on that iw-i^ [ steamer, so do not hide that paper in your pocket, the paragraph will not frighten me, whatever it may be." "That is only a guess," said the doctor, taking the day's paper from his pocket, and dropping some- thing as he did so. Rut a good one, is it not asked tho patient* What have you dropped ? Either a penny or a gold dollar," said Dr. Jeffrys paring with his eye-glasses about the floor. "Ben, said Mr. Brandon, the gold dollar has rolled under the bed and lodged under tho castor on the right-hand side. Get it out for Dr. Jeffrys." "That you felt," said the doctor, or heard." Have it your own way," said Mr. Brandon. Now I feel, or hear, that my granddaughter is pa"e, but she's not well-not very woii. Jeffrys, something hurts her. I think she did not sail be- cause she was not well. She will come on another steamer." "Let us hope so," Dr. Jeffrys said, thinking there was no hope of her arrival at any time. Ah, they write thus," said Mr. Brandon, reading ahud. There can be no d.ubt that the Penelope is lost witil all on board. There will be other news yet. Poor souls, poor souls. But Adrietta is not among tin: in, I am sure of-it." It was well for his peace of mind, the doctor bought, that he had this delusion. At last other news came—the Penelope wa3 really lost. But most of her passengers and her officers and sailors also were saved. Two other steamers had como to their aid and were bringing them to Now fork, and a telegram was received to the cuest that Adrietta and Mr. Gresham were safe. Mr. Brandon gave all necessary orders regarding ii- reception of his granddaughter, should she be on board either of the steamers but he repeatedly declared that was his opinion that she never sailed on the Penelope. "I see her upon the ocean now," he said, happy, and coming fast toward me. I believe she exactly resembles Margaret at her age. She loves me, I almost feel her arms about me, dear little Adrietta." The weather growing sultry, Dr. Jeffrys had ordered Mr. Brandon out of town, and he was taken to his country house, whither, when she ar- lived, Adrietta was to follow him. A lovely room was prepared for her Mr. Bran- don with his own hands, writing out a list of ele- gant articles to be purchased. The prevailing colour was that of the blush rose, and the servants called it "the pink-and-white ()Oll1. The most beautiful light fell through the rose- coloured shades, softened by lace curtains that were more costly than those in many a line lady's bou- doir. The same lace covered the rose-coloured spread and pillows. Dresden china ornaments were upon the mantel and brackets. Two or three valuable pictures found a place. Cushions, hair- receivers, boxes and baskets on the toilet table wero decorated by an artist of merit, with original de. signs. The softest turkish chairs, the most luxuri- ottomans were provided. Close at hands was a bath and dressing-room, that might have been ar- ranged for a princess. In all my experience," said the doctor, I have never known a man out of his mind possessed of such executive ability, or a man near his end so deeply interested in the affairs of this world." The consequence of all that haD occurred was that a confusing number of telegrams had been re- ceived at the Brandon mansion. Mr. Gresham had telegraphed 5 Safe in our own laud at last. Miss Grevel well. Will arrive at 3 o'clock." And afterwards had telegraphed "Delayed—will not arrive until 5.20." Philip had telegraphed Miss Grevel with chaoorone will arrive at three o'c:oc;cP And the conductor had telegraphed; "Miss Grevel will be alone at the station at three o'clock. It was a Kind act on his part, but the conse- quences were all ill. It is terrible to know that wo can never be sure what we are doing in this world, when our intentions are the best. On receipt of this last message, all were sure tLac i\Ii'. Gresham had fallen suddenly ill, and the coachman who had been told to make ready i1ucl drive to the station at five, was hurried off at two. The doctor feared to leave his patient, and Dick was a trustworthy and careful servant. It was decided to let uun.go alone for the voting; lady, Mr. Fox made no offer of his services. Yi hen this last telegram had heen received, i1Ïs i)c-art had given a sadden leap. Alone," he had said to himself, "alo;ic." An evil look came into his eyes, and as he pon- (lured an expression of which Satan might have been proud settled upon his face. I may baf&e tate yet," he muttered to himsoir as no paced the long piazza alone. It may be th.it my uncle sfortune may yet be mine. I will not give it up without oris last struggie." lie seized his hat- and hurried away, and. sent for several hours, When he returned aEtttc bell was dropping its silvery notes through the air, and vehicles Were on their way toward the church, where there was to bo an afternoon service. Some made their way on foot along the road. These were mostly the young women at service in the handsome residence, who had leave of absence from their duties on Thursday afternoons. Mr. Brandon's cook was about to joiu them. Cook was a very important person in Mr. Bran- don's household.

LOCAL CRICKET. DINAS POWIS V. BARRY. Played at Dinas Powis on Saturday afternoon last. In the four encounters of the previous two seasons, the Barry club claimed four victories, but, however, this year the homesters have made marked improvement all-round, especially in the field — some excellent work being done in this department last Saturday — and the present meeting was looked forward to with great interest. Dinas Powis, having won the toss, commenced batting on a good wicket to the bowling of T. J. Morgan and Eli Kirby, and ran up the score to 98 runs before the innings closed. The chief con- tributors were H. Waters (40), L. Rooney (18), and J. H. Morgan (10). Waters, going in first, was the seventh to leave, and during his stay of ninety minutes at the wicket, batted with great care and patience. Rooney, on the other hand, gave a very free and brisk exhibition. Barry, on going to the wickets, made a most disastrous start, four wickets falling for five runs, whilst T. J. Morgan was unluckily run out when apparently getting "set." The brothers Kirby made a useful stand, and by a strange coincidence scored 13 runs each but the remaining wickets gave little trouble. The innings closed for 43, thus leaving the homesters victors by 55 runs. The following are the scores. and analyses :— Dinas Powis: H. Waters, b West, 40; H. F. Boyd, b Morgan, 5 B. T.

UOOK was a very pious person, also. She went regularly to church while in the country, although it was more than titrce miles from the gates of her employer's home. Mr. Fox was rather regular in his attendance also, and cook heard him "loud and long" in the re. spouses. Consequently she held a very different opinion of him from that concealed in the bosoms or Ben and Jane. "A nicer gentleman don't live in the world to. day. So polite always, and his amens! my good- ness, you should hear him. He don'.t mumble and mutter 'em as if he was ashamed, and his I Lord be merciful to us miserable siuners.' is plain to be heard nine pews off." So was the Pharsisee's, I reckon," Dick would sometimes answer, but Jane never said a word. On this day, when the arrival of Miss Grevel was I expected, dinner was postponed from six to half- past seven, aud as it was Wednesday, there was a late afternoon service at the church. I shall go. I can fix everything so that you can see it, and be home in time to dish up," she said to her assistant. It seems as though somebody ought to show thankfulness to Providence. I'm going to, if nobody else does. I've read the prayers for those those that are in danger on the sea, every evening, and I don't say but they may have had an effect. Leastways, Ifesi I've done my best." Sundays are enough for me," said Lydia Maria, the assistant. But ail right, cook, it's best to take precautions. Go you, and I'll mind the dinner. Only if I ain't let into Heaven and you're inside, ;est poke the gate open a little bit and say, Come HI, Lydia Maria, both of us couldn't go to church 0' Wednesdays.' "Jokes on solemn subjects I can't laugh at," r-iiiu cook, pinning her shawl and gathering up her handkerchief, prayer-book and little blue bottle of smelling salts. At the same moment, Mr. Fox tiptoed into his ancle's room. Do you feel quite comfortable, clear uncle ?" ho ashed. "1 should feel more so if you wouldn't tiptoe and whisper, Simon, my boy," said Mr. Brandon. "But yes, I feel remarkably well, thank you." "Then. I'll run over to evening service," uncle," said Simon. I feel that this is a day on which I should be more than usually thankful to Provi- dence." I in sure it is. I am glad you feel so," said Mr Li miaou., Then as Simon, beaming-upon him with what he meant to lie an angelio- smile, closed the door behind him, his own face changed, and he ut- tered a little groan. Ben was at his side in a' moment. It is nothing bnt a thought, Ben," said his mas- ter. x-iy good fellow, what would I give just now to be ablo to meet my granddaughter at the sLr, tion." "It must bo awful wearisome lying hero, sir," i-nnl Ben. "I wish I could cure you, sir. I'd suffer 'most any sort of pain to doit." x believe you would, Ben, and I love you for it, en d Mr. Brandon, But I am not impatient; I know I shall get well in time, though the doctors do not hchsvo it. It is j list now at this moment I am so about my little Adrietta, For the first time, 1 ui 8ho will not reach me safely. I cannot see ,,1 ,it nanger menaces her, but sonreiliing suro.v must. I wish she were here. Ask Dr. Jeffrys to come to me. Perhaps my nerves are out oforderat lase. I almost hope so. Ask the doctor to come, and you may take the paii, meanwhile," The doctor, who'w.as in his own room, hurried to Mr. Brandon's side as soon as the summons reached him. Are you leeling ill I1, ho said. Have you some new pain ? "&o," said Mr. JJraiulon. "But I am tortured with anxiety. I'suppose, as Ijust told Ben, that 111 v "&o," said Mr. JJraiulon. "But I am tortured with anxiety. L suppose, as Ijust told Ben, that 111 v iier i es are giving way at last. I have every reason to think that Adrietta is safe, that she is near me, coming to me as fast as the flying train can bring her, yet I feel for the first time that she is in clangor. I have a presentiment of evil, that curdles' the blood in my veins. Something tells me that she is not coming. Jeffrys, I beg you net to think me mad, but I have heard a something- no one eiso can hear ies, Jeffrys, three times this afternoon I have heard tne voice of my daughter Margaret, close to mv ear, Three times she has uttered the same words: '"Save my child, save Adrietta." < My dear Brandon, you terrify me." said Dr. Jeffrys. "Dismisssuchthoughts." I endeavour to do so," said Mr. Brandon. I reason with myself, but my terror increases." "It is unreasonable," said the good doctor, feeling his patient's pulse, very unreasonable. Gresham wrote that he would come with Miss Adrietta, she herself has written. There has not been an acci- dent on this road in twenty years, the driver is steady, the horses never yet have tried to run away. In the midst of life we are in death, doctors know that better than other people, but the chances are all in favour of Miss Adrietta's safe arrival." I know they are," said M)-.Brandon,"bmi feel that she will not arrive safely nevertheless." Good heavens what am I to do with you asked the doctor. What am I do do with myself ? asked Mr. Brandon. "Do you know, when Simon came in just now, deferential and affectionate as ever, de- claring a commendable.intention of going to after- noon service, I felt inclined to call out for help and have him arrested. He looked like a murderer, like a villain of any sort. I think if I had been able to spring out of bed I should have caught him by the throat. And yet, what reason had I to feel so ? The fellow is in the hopes of a slice of my fortune when I die, and has need of my help while I live. I am valuable to him alive and dead. He always gives me fair words, obeys me in everything, lets me snub or scold him. I have no knowledge of any evil deeds of his doing I cannot say that his con- tinual exhibition of piety may not be genuine. A good young man, most people would call him, and I inwardly dub him knave. To-day, Jeffrys, I feared him, yes, I feared him. I wonder who shot me 1" "My clear fellow, I must giva you a sedative," said Dr. Jeflrys. "1 must put you to sleep." You shan't," said Mi-. Brandon. "I must keep my senses, I feel that I shall have need of them. Ob, my poor Adrietta, what is it that threatens you while I lie hero helpless? For the sake of your health and reason calm yourself until you are sure that Adriettais not safe," said Dr. Jeffrys. What would you yonrfeelf think of this sort of work at another time?" "Oh, if I were you, I should think my brain affected," said Mr. Brandon. "I wish I thought so myself. Do you know how we used to laugh at little Miss Rush, who had a spine complaint and pretended to be able to know just who rang the door bell, or drove up to the gate, and to read sealed letters with the top of her head ? I am inclined to believe in her now. That's it, Jeffrys "What is it, ? asked the doctor. My spine is affected now, and I have become clairvoyant." "Fiddlesticks," said the doctor. Suddenly Mr. Brandon clasped his hands to his forehead and uttered a terrible groan. Don't speak," lie cried, "I want to see her. She is like her mother." The voice became tin- natural. Brandon;" cried the doctor. He bent over the .patient. Mr. Brandon's face was pale, his eyes fixrd, his hands clinched he appeared to be as one in a trance, but he continued to speak. "Simon! Simon! where are you taking her? "Yes, it is Simon. Stop stop Beat the door down Beat the door down Simon, Adrietta- He moaned, rolled his eyes about, closed them and lay upon the pillow like one dead. In a few moments-, however, the colour returned to his lips, his eyes opened, and he looked at the doctor quietly. How long have I been asleep ? he asked. Have you been asleep ? replied the doctor, not knowing what else to say. I suppose so, and dreaming I saw Simon and' Adrietta as in a vision. It is fading from me, but I know he intended some harm to her, and I cried out. Is not the carriage gone.a great while ? It had been, but the doctor would not say so. There was a silence for a space. The shadows deepened in the room, the sky without grew darker and darker, even the twilight was gone. But the young moon, not two days old, shotved her silver crescent above the distant nTbsntains. (To be continued).
