A moment gazing on the bed and both turned to go, the Dr. came forward and said, come in he is quiet now, no more raying, no more pain he has gone into the great unknown, he lead Lady Anna almost stunned as she. was and her cousin walked by her side' with the same stately bearing as ever. No more was said, the attendants were preparing to close the doors Miss Conway took her cousin by the arm and whispered "let us go," and. toether they left the chamber of death. ,7 The orphaned girl did not realize ' her position, she was . . it had scarcely known her father, and could not" be expected to grieve now; it -- was however a peculiar experience for them both, and Jane went over in her mind: the list of relatives who must be notified and what would be. expectecTof her; "she needed sleep and rest, and while she waited her thoughts flew, far old down house and she wondered tumbling were to return or was there to what be their they away-wnerear-oid-iSnt- rte fate? - We; will not dwell upon the harrowing details of- - tha time that hung so heavily on the hands of Lady Anna and Miss Conway; but Maitland Walton found them not knowing what had happened and his presence consoled Anna in her days 'of mourning; Jane began to feel that she tad been too mistrustful now that she knew- - him better; and it was a relief to her that he could amuse and - entertain' her cousin, while she was engaged upon more important matters. Sir -- Edward's solicitor had come over and though the will wa3 not yet made public, she had-beemade aware t)f some of it3 contents, and had been asured she was not left penniless. The Dr. almost wished she had been, then he might have hoped she would one day sit beside his hearthstone; and "make the sunlight of his dreary house. But he felt he would wait . and see whether independent as she seemed, she would not yet need him.-- After Sir Edward . had been laid in the tomb at .Ravenna, and .' it - became necessary for Mr. Burke Jhe solicitor and Dr.. Bland to return to England, they were anxious to know if the young ladies wished to go or to remain until the winter wa3 over;- - they talked over the matter and finally decided that it was Burke's place to speak as he had still charge of the Baronet's affairs, and their interests. J. Mr Burke felt some delicacy in approaching the subject, and suggested that Mr. WaltOn pave the way, to which Dr. Bland assented willingly. It proved easy for the young man; and so matters were soon arranged and the journey undertaken, the only drawback being that Maitland must not irapLth;them Miss Conway could not be persuaded to consent to that. The young ladies were in deepmourning dress.thoush there was little mournmg in their hearts, and the journey was performed with outanv notable incident. The coming home however was more embarrasing; the servants were demonstrative and the whole place in . confusion;, all . the establishment seemed to think it their imperative duty to make a display of their bereavement and-tvie with each other in its ' positive expression. i 1 n . ; Sister Wells: -- , r O'er mountain and desert and plain, 7 And the wish that to thee, you sent me, I breathe bacjc For it calls up sweet memories again. - ?

But she had determined to do otherwise, and hard;, as it seemed to consummate the plan, she could not be persuaded to relinquish it.
