LANCASTER, PA., WEDNESDAY, APRIL U, 1858. No. 20. The Experiences of Susan Chase. BT THE ADTHOB Of "THE HEIS TO ASHLEY. [COSTISrED.] CHAPTER III. THE FliiBS. It was one ofthe first days of early spring. Two young ladies stepped from thair hoase into the ganlen, to see what opening flowers, what budding trees had weathereii the biting winds and frosts. They were Susan and Ursula Chaae. One of them was tail and fltout, and sbe looted about herwith intereat, for ahe loved the garden-:—that was Ursula; the other, a fair, quiet girl, with a subdued look of care on her face, waited more ab- fltractedly, aa Ifshe were occupied with in- waid tboug- ta—thU was Susan. Ursula Ulked eagerly as they slowly Strolled along; the fine sunshine had put her into spirits. Her sister replied in monosyll¬ ables. "How flul' you are, Susan !" she exclaim¬ ed, at length, "what is tbe matter?" "Nothing" answered Susan. "I know- You aro thiuking of that com¬ plaining letter of Mrs. Carnflgie's. You uev- tft-will overget that habit of yours, Susan, of taking little disagreeables to heart- Ur. Camagie writes as if she were not happy. WeU; she could not expect to be. But that 13 no reason why you should sigh over it, and walk through this woloome suushine as if you did not care for it, or for the -promis- iug aspect of tbe sbrubs and flowers. They were passing a garden-seat as Ursula spoke, and Susau sat down upon it, and touched ber sister's arm to detain her. **I will tell you what is troubling me, Ursula; why I cannot enjoy this spriug day, or any¬ thing else just uow. I have beeu thinking ever since that letter arrived from Kmma " "From Mrs. Carnagie. Well ?" *' Tbat one of us ought to go out to her." "Ought to dj wAai?"eohoed Ursula, iua tone of anger and astonishment." "To go out and he with her in ber approach¬ ing illness." "Susan I am amazed at you—I am shocked at you!" uttered Ursula. "Have you forgot¬ ten ber conduct: liow wickedly she behaved to us^to yoa ?" "But"—Susau answered in a low voice— "you remember wh>' it i^ has charged na that if our brother siu agdiiist us we shall forgive him ; not once, hut seventy .times sev¬ en." "We are not charged to give iu It/ Mrs. Camagie's fanciful caprices." peremptorily spoke Ursula, drowning ber sister's voice. "That cannot have anything to do with relig¬ ion." "Oh, yes it bas, Ursula. Since her letter came I have beeu considering it in all lights, aud feel that one of us ought to go to ber." "Yon bavs strange notions!'* exclaimed Ursula. "When the thought first flashed across me, I drove it aipay—it may be augrily: I would not dwell upon it. But it aeemed determined not to be driven away; and itkeeps whisper¬ ing to me tbat it must be done, if we would fulfill our duty." "Would it be pleasant to you, may I ask, to go and visit Charles Carnagie ?" "No. Very unpleasant." "And / am not going. So the thing ia im¬ possible, and need not be spoten of." "Could you not be induced to go V asked Susan. "Never. Had things gone on as they ought, and yon wera there in her place, I coald not ha^e gone out to yon, Sasan dear, for a hot climate would till me. Look how ill I am in tbe heat of summer, even here. 'No. I will not sacrifice my health for Mra. Carnagie She is not worthy of it. " "She is onr sister, Ursula." "Do not let as prolong a useless discussion, Susan. Nothing in the world wonld induce me to go out, so let tbe matter rest. Were I to aee Mrs. Carnagie, bere or there, it would only be to reproach her. Shall we proceed- ?" Susan waved away the proposal, and re¬ mained seated. " We must settle this mat¬ ter, Ursula, but not by letting it rest. I felt sure you would not go; therefore," ahe added, in a lower tone, " I have been making np my mind to it." "Not to go to Barbadoes !" "Yes, I have. If we let ber remain to go through ber illness alone, and she should die in it, as sbe says sbe fears, we sbould never cease to reproach ourselves. I never should.*' "She is not going to die under it," retort¬ ed Ursula. "She was always fall of fancies.*' "I hope she is not. But you see, by her letter, how low-spirited she is ;how sho dreads "Her conscience pricks her,", said Uraula. "One with a bad conscience is afraid of every¬ thing." "Dear Ursula, you will so much oblige me by never alluding in tbat way to the past.— It is oVer and gone, and ought to be buried in oblivion. Surely, if I bave forgotten it, you may." "You, bave not forgotten it, Susan," "Quite as much so as is needful and neces¬ sary. Of course, to entirely forget it, as a thing that bas never taken place, U an im_ possibility, but I h-ve forgiven them both in my own heart." "And retain no tender remembrance of him ? I don't believe you, Susau. You are not one to forget so easily." "Yes I am, where there is a necessity," Susan almost sternly said. "I bave been true to him for my whole life, though he must have passed it abroad, and I bere, as those few years were passed ; but from the very moment I knew be did not care for me, I set to wort to root bim from my heart; and I have well succeeded. HoV could you think it was otherwise, Ursula f—and he the has hand of Emma!" "Nay, don't be put out. I did not think you were cherishing the old love—of course not but I thought there would be sufficient of its remembrance left to preveut yonr run¬ ning to see them in the first year of tbeir marriage." Sasan felt tbo words. Ursula was of a stern, unforgiving nature, and ber remarks were often cutting.' " I am not running to see them for ple.isure ; it will be anythiug but pleasant to me ; although he is to me now no more than my sister's husband. I would rather go over the whole wide earth than to Barbadoes ; but the sense of duty impels " You always did thiuk so much about that' duty' " peevishly remnrked Urania. " Your conscientiousues must be very strong." " I suppose it is : I believe it is. Anil there is another thing whicb urges me lo go," ad¬ ded Susan; " my iove for Emma. Altbougb she acted as she did, I canuot forget how fond 1 was of her, and since the arrival of the let¬ ter, when Ihave thongbt of her as ill, anxious, lonely, not (as it seems) too happy, all my old dear love for her has come back to me.*' "Tou would go sailing oat, and make your¬ self a slave to the humors of Mra-Camagie andatopthere'asnorse-maidtoherohildrenl" cried the vexed Ursula. " In twenty years from this we shonld not see yoa home agaiii." *¦ Not Boi'^ answered Susan. " When once Emma la safely over her illness, I shall oome baok. I shall oertainly not stop to make my home thdr« in their honse. But she does seemso ADzioaB for what ehe ^l^^ "^.f ^j glraew,-«nd so apprehensive Uiat she fchaU not live I I must go, Ursula^ -:, "How oould you go? Who is to take. yon ?" -'loan go alone-onder tbe charge of the captain of the ship. I have thought of my plans." "OhI if 70°^ ^^^^ nude up yoor mind there's nothing more to he said, for it would not tarn you," resentfally spoke Ursula.— ''Shall yon start torday?" she ironioaUy added. " No," smiled Sasan, " bnt I should like to be away by this day fortnight—slioald a ves¬ sel be Bailing. My own preparation will not take long.'* " Sasan I yoa are not in earnest I" "Now that I have made up my mind, the sooner I am away the better. I muflt be there before Emma's illness." "Tbat'snot going to happen in a week." " Neither can I reach Barbadoes in a week. I wish you conld see this in tbe light that I do, Ursula; you would not grumble at me then." It was the loving spirit of charity, of for¬ giveness, that was urgtag Suaan Chase to take this long journey to visit her siater. A sea- sou of bitter desolation had passed over Sa¬ aan, during which her heart had been puri¬ fied to wiser and better things than the daily gratification self. Ursula had not yet found this spirit; ber time for it was not yet come ; sbe wad proud and unforgiving; never since her sister's marriage had she called her by her famtlior christaln name, always " Mrs. Carnagie;" and yet Emma had not sinned against her, but against Susan. To visit them—as Ursula expressed it—the first year of their marriage, could not be pleasant to her feelings ; but Emma bad written home a long and most heart-rending letter, every page of which implied a wish, though it was not expressed, that Snsau was with ber to oomfort and forgive her, and to take oare of her in an approaching time of peril. Susan asked herself how sho could refuse to go— she who had promised to their mother, on her death-bed, always to cherish Emma. When her resolution became known, the neighborhood troubled itself amazingly about it, neighborhood fashion. It chiefly adopted the views of Ursula. But Suaan waa not to be dismayed, aud witb as little delay a necea¬ sary, she started on her voyage. CHAPTER IV. The house occupied by Lieutenant and Mra. Carnagie was called the Fines, and was situated near tbe capital of Barbadoes, where Mr. Camagie's regiment was quartered. A small house for a West-Indian country bouse, but it was very pretty, of gay, cheerful. ap¬ pearance, with a good veran'dah rnnning along the front and the west side, whence a few steps descended to the garden—a well-kept garden, full of trees, flowers, and tropioal fruits. Marriage—frantic aa they were for it —had not brought to Mr. and Mra. Camagie the happiness tbey bad possibly anticipated. It may be that some fault lay on both sides ;• it is generally so, wbere dissensions take place in early married days. Mrs. Carnagie was exacting and warm iu her temper, and the lieutenant was more careless to please her than he might have been. She was sitting one evening iu a sullen mood, full of anger at her husband, for be ought to have been home to diuner, but bad not come, and she had taken it aloue. Tho sudden dartneas succeeding to the garish day, with scarcely any twilight, and to which Mrs. Carnagie bad grown aconstomed, had 3carc*?ly overspread the room whenahe heard her husband's horae canter up. She rose from her sofa, touched a hand-bell for lights, and prepared a loud reproach as she waited for him. Mr. Camagie, tall and dark as ever, entered listlessly, and ere she could speak, laid a let¬ ter before ber, wltha remark tbat the packet was in. " Why did you not come home to dinner ?" " Chard was out, and I bad to take the afternoon duty," was Mr. Camagie's reply. Mrs. Camagie did not know whether this was true She felt inclined to tell him it was not. But to what use ? since he wonld be sure to persist in the story. He had grown indifferent to coming home of late, and the excuse waa always the same—duty. She generally broke out into reproaches ; whioh were not quite the way to win his allegiance back again. "You might have sent me word that you did not intend to come bome," she said; " not have kept me waiting an hour for my dinner." "-That was your own fault. I have de¬ sired you never to wait. An oificer'a time is ¦not bis own." " It is sn&ciently his own when he chooses to make it so," significantly responded Mrs. Carnagie. " Why do yon not open yonr letter, Em¬ ma?" " Oh—I suppose it is like the last: one of Ursula's atifl"epistles, oalHng me'Mrs. Car¬ nagie.' I wonder ahe writes at all!" " This ia from Susan." "From Susan I" echoed Mrs. Camagie, taking up the letter. " How do you know V* "It is her handwriting." "Yes! of courae yoa remember that J I am positive those letters you keep tied up in a bundle in your deak, and that yoa never will let me see the outside of, were from her. You love her remembrance far better than you love me now." Mrs. Caraagie waa vQry fooliah. She did not really think this, and her husband knew she did not, hnt she was in a temper to get up reproaches from nothing. " I have told yoa they were not from Su¬ san," he angrily aaid. "I burnt Susan'a let¬ ters the day after I brought you out here." With a gesture of impatience, he went out on the verandah, and, seating himself ou one of the cool seats there, lighted his cigar. His wife opened the newly arrived letter, aud ran her eyes down it. " Charles I Charles !" ghe exclaimed, her tone changing to one of joyful eagerness.— " Charles, I have auch news I Do come here !" " What ia it?" he asked, re-entering. "Who do you think is coming out?—to be with me in my illnes. Who do you thiuk ?'» " Ursula ?" "No. Susan." " Sasan ! Coming here ?" "Sasan is coming here. Oh, how kind she is I She ia on her passage now." " It is more than yon-^more than we both deserve," was his remark. "Are you snre that it is Susan that is coming ?" " She gives her reasons; and says, ' Show thia letter lO Mr. Carnagie.' She thinks it is ber daty to come and take cara of me in my unhappineas, not only because she loves me bnt because she remembers her promises to my mother. Is she not good, Charles ?" "Yea," anawered Mr. Carnagie, "she al¬ ways waa." "Charles, tell me the truth—why did you not come home to dinner?" I have told you. Duty.' iraz7;Winds.^.. Amidjit the oonfaslon of the i^ral* B^|de leaving tha ship,- Stuan felt (^fWfoBed i^nd anxiqus. - She expected to aee her,sister or.:Mr. Carnagie, or both; but nelthjer arrived to claim her. I'Sappoae my letter should not have reached them 1" she suddenly exclaimed to herself, and her oheeks burned with crimson at the thoaght of appearing there withoat warning, and having to make the explanation for her. doing so by word of mouth. Ak that very moment.au exceedingly good-looking English oflicer, who had just oome on board, approached, her. " I think I must be right," he said, with a friendly smile, " that I have the honor of speaking to Miss Chase, for I see a great like¬ ness to Mrs. Camagie." That was seen throagh poor Susan's mo¬ mentary Hush, "I am Miss Chase," she replied. "Are my sister and Mr. Camagie not here f" ''Mrs. Camagie Is not well; and Mr. Car¬ nagie requested me, last night, to board the ship, H ahe arrived before he got baok." Sasau fotmd the gentleman speaking to her was a Captain Chard; but ere many minutes had elapsed Mr. Carnagie oame on board. Susan's manner was possessed and calm; it would never be otherwise to. Mr, Camagie again. He hurried her on shore and into the carriage, not giving time for any baggage whatever to accompany them, but ordering it to be sent on. " How ia Emma ?" ahe inquired of Mr. Car¬ nagie, aj the carriage drove away, for really his movements had been so hasty there waa not time to put the question before. " Thauk you. She bas a little boy." "A little boy ?" exclaimed Sasaa. "Since when F" " "Only today." "Oh, I am sorry "you should have left home to meet me. I could have found my way to you I make no doubt. Is she well!" "Yes: I believe ao. Chard had .sent me word that the ship ^as casting anchor, so I thought the beat plan was to come and bring you at once to Emma." Wben Susan arrived at the Fines she had to wait before she could go into her sister's room, and Mr. Carnagie left her in one of the sitting rooms. Susan waa very hot ; she Was sure she would not like a West Indian elimate, and aho sat admiring the cool mat¬ ting, and the cool, floating fans which kept up a perpetnal breeze, when the door opened and Hath came in. Tbe girl burst into tears when Susau shook her by the hand, so de¬ lighted was she to see a home face. She had lived with them in England, and bad accom¬ panied Emma on ber marriage. Rath," asked Mis - Chase, "was not this event rather sudden !' I thought to have been here for it. I understood from my sister it was not expected till May." "That is what we all thongbt, Miss Susan,'' was the girl's answer. "I think my mistress made beraelf ill." "What do you mean, Rnth?" "The night before last she was put, on*- about something, and she quarreled with Mr, Carnagie. Quite violent she was, and I be¬ lieve that toot eifect upon her. She is a good deal altered from what she used to he, miss, and puts herself out over tbe least thing." Mrs. Carnagie improved iu health. At the end of a week Susau laughingly asked her where her presentment of non-recovery had flown to. "It ia all owing to your care and your good nuraing," answered Emma. "Oh Susan I you are a deal kinder to me thau I deserve.— Charles said ao the evening after yonr letter arrived. After our conduct—" "We will bury the past iu the past,'* in¬ terrupted Suaan. "It is the ouly request I make you." "WeU, so ho it I But juat lot me tell yo« one thing, Sasan, that if I bad forseen all you should have been the one to have him, if you would, but not I. If you knew bow very different he is from what he appeared that month at our hoase—" "Emma, I entreat you, let us find some other topic of discourse." "You will not hear anything against him ; I see what it is," cried the perverse invalid. " You think him an angel, and everything that is good, but he is just the contrary. Yoa can't deny that yoa had used to think bim one, Susan; and of coarse yon. do still." Susan was pained. She did not like tbe charge, and yet scarcely liked to condwoend to refute it. She begun to think Kmma more childish than ever, and saffered her to run on. " I don't believe he cares for me at all; not half or a quarter as much as he used to care for yon. I am thankful for your sake, Susan dear, that yoa did not have him. He has grown indifferent to his home, stops out, and never cares to apologiae ; and one day—it was about last Christmas—he frightened me nearly out of my senses. I never saw any rational being in such a passion in all my Ufe : his fury was frightful. Did you know he could put himself into tbese fits of pas¬ te him, and yoa never onght to have saffered it.to pass yoa lips in speaking with him. It wasnotyoar aflafr, orone yoa had any ba¬ siness with. Never speak of It again, Emma; banish it from yonr memory. He Is your husband now, your lawful husband; be to him a kind and affectionate wife, and if he is not yet (though I should hope he is) quite allhe ought to be, he will become so in time. It resU with yon." "Yoa had a Inoky escape, Snaan," persist¬ ed Mrs. Camagie. "Fanoy what U waa, al¬ most as soon as I landed, to be told tbat he had been as good as married before ? Wbat would you have said, had such news greeted you ?'' " I should have said—whatever I may have felt—that it was no friend to me who could impart such. Who told you, Eibma V " Major Jaoobson*s wife. Her husband is on half-paV, and holds some civil post here. She has lived on the island for years, and knows the ins and oats of all the officers* af¬ fairs, however many may be quartered here. She spoke of It quite as a matter of course, like one might speak of the ckauging of a servant. Chariea found, though, that I did not tate it as a matter of course. We have never been cordial since." " And is it this whioh has created tbe un¬ happineas, the dissension yon speak of, be¬ tween you^and your hoshand?" "That is the chief. That was the firat and great cause: but I have fouud out plenty of faults to reproach him with since. Not per¬ haps ofthe same nature; I don't aay tbat." " You have looked out for faults, I fear,'* said Susan. "To be sore I have. Things that I might never have thought of, or should have passed here,*' he-oontisaed, "and some of-tbem have uot been alack. Chard has oome ten times. He would not do thia withoiit a pow¬ erful motive." Suaan aaid nothing. What tvat Mr. Car¬ nagie driving at? " And as be has made it all right -with a certaiu young lady, I expeot she will be going by the next packet,.and oome baok with him a.1 Mrs. Chard, Yoa see I am au-couraqf, Susan." Susan stared at Mr. Caraagie,and ran over the few available young ladies in her mind, all of whom visited at the Fines.. She could fix on none. "What young lady is it?" she resnmed. " Oh, Susan I to pretend ignorance, and ask me that I You had naed to be superior to coquetry. But possibly you think J'have forfeited all claims to be the depository of your love aeorets f" It was the first time he had ever alluded in any way to the past, and Susan felt her face flash a little. Therefore, when she spoke, it was with cold, pointed calmness. "I am really ignorant to what yoa are al¬ luding, Mr. Camagie: if I were not I would not pretend it. I have not beard tbat Cap¬ tain Chard was likely to marry." He roae np in astonishment, and stood be-. fore her. "SusanI" " What ? What do yoa mean ?'* " It is you that Chard is going to marry.— Nobody else." " Mel" uttered Susan. " Who oould have told you that ?" "Emma beraelf. I asked her, -.>ne day, what on earth, brought Chard dancing up here everlastingly, and she said it was after you. Tfiat things were settled, or on the over lightly; but I felt my beart completely point of being settled, between you." '• I never saw him in one," was Susan'a somewhat evasive answer; for she remem¬ bered what Frances Maitland bad once told her. " Well, be can ; tboagh I believe it takes a good deal to excite him to it. Never marry a passionate man, Suaan." " Do yoa never lose your temper yourself and fall into a paaaion?" aaked Susan, in a half-joking manner. " I ? If I do lose my temper I have cause,*' returned Mra. Carnegie. " There are some tilings one cannot and ought not put up with; even you, Susan, patient as you are, I would not." ! " Whatever they may be, ill temper will j not mend them," replied Susan. "A pleas- 1 ant spirit, one with the othei, would soothe the rubs and aggravations of life, and render ! you both so much happier. Besides, aa your . little child grows up what an example anger and discourtesy would be to aet before him." "You are not aware what lives aome of these officers lead out here, especially the single ones. They make what they call lef^- j handed marriages. Hardly one but what , has done it." " Left-handed marriages t" echoed Susan, . puzzled. "Who with f" ' " With the Creoles, ohiefly. Some of these I false wives are as white as we are, aome dark- j er, aome black—fastidious tastes tbey tnuat ; have, certain of these officers I And then ¦ come a troop of horrid little children t Half . the little reptiles you see about yon are theirs. Charles did this.'' "Oh, no!" involuntarily uttered Susan. : "Oh, no!" you say ! You thiuk him bet- ^ tban others, do you ? He ia woraa I AU those j years when you deemed him constant, he was playing truant to you with that Creole { wife 1 Wife I Now do you think 1 could I pnt up with that, and put up with it tamely? . When I heard after I came ont what had been going on; I felt inclined to run away turn against him. I should not care if he died to-morrow." "Oh, Kmmat" crif*d Suaan, in an anguish¬ ed tone, " how can I hope to bring you to your senses?—to a juat view of yeur duty to your husband? All tbat has taken place (I am not seeking, mind, to excuse the facta) was over, and probably done with. I cannot think otherwise, and it was your duty and interest to regard it as such. In visiting this upon Mr. Camagie in reproaches, in perverse temper, you, hia wife, you were digging a pit of miaery for your whole Ufe." " Of courae I Charles is right, and I am wrong. He did right, then, and the other of¬ ficers do right, and Miss Chaae has tumed champion for them! I wish I had never written you how unhappy I waa. I might have known if yon came oat it would not be to aympatiiize with my wrones, but to defend Lieutenant Carnagie. Let my pillow alone, Susan : it does not want fidgeting with." The teara filled Susan's eyea, and ahe al¬ most wishsd she had listened to Ursula, aud left Mr. aud Mrs. Carnagie to themaelvea.— How should she succeed in bringing her sis¬ ter into a better frame of mind and temper? Could she succeed? If sbe did it would be a miracle. Any one -but Susan, so persevering aud patient, would have deemed tbe task a hopeless one. Kmma Chase, by nature, was obstinate, self-willed, fractious, and iuordinately vain; but as Emma Chase, shielded in her own home, guided by wise frieuda, little scope had been afforded for their display. She bad been indulged , and made a pet of, her vanity was fostered, and her wbima were given way to, and even Susan had not kuown bow very little good there was iu her. But as Mra. Carnagie all the ill was displayed, and worse than all. The Uttle child died. Mr. Carnagie evi¬ dently mourned it deeply, aud Emma, for a wbole week, went iuto iuceaaaut bursts of tears. Had they been wise, bad Emma been alive to her own iutereat, they might have beeu reconciled to each othar, have buried grievances, and laid the foundation for a hap¬ py and peaceful life. Somehow it was uot done; and Susan was afraid almost to breaihe to herself her conviction that the fault was Emma's, lest she might be accused of partial¬ ity for Mr. Carnagie. CHAPTER VI. Autumn came, and Susan Chase was still at Barbadoes. She had uot dared to leave Emma, for a new fear for her had begun to spring up: her extreme gayety of conduct. It is true there was not m^ch scope for joining in worldly amusement where they were sita- ated, but however little or much might be go¬ ing ou, Mra. Carnagie was certain to he in it. Aud, what was most especially distasteful to Susan, ahe was invariably surrounded by red-coats at luncheon, lounging in the after¬ noon bazaar at Bridgetowon, dressed out at parties in the evening; in auy and all o^ these might be seen Mrs. Carnagie, flirting with all wbo would flirt with her. Her hus¬ band remonstrated—-not against her flirting: be wonld not, in his pride, pnt it upon that score; but againat the expense. Hta income was good, but not extravagant, and Mrs. Car¬ nagie waa getting into extravagant habits.— The luncheons she wonld cauae to be aet out and the eveuing entertainments she would give, were profusely expensive. Mr. Carnagie might aa weU have remonstrated to the moon for she paid no manner of attention to him. Susan was miserable, and Emma laughed at bur. One day Mr. Camagie came in, looking vexed aud tired. It waa dinner hour, but Mrs. Carnagie was out on some expedition, and did not seem to be remembering it. Sa¬ san was sitting witb her work in the veran¬ dah, and he came and atood by her. They had lapsed from the first quite into their re¬ lative position of brother and sister-in law, and former days had never been alluded to between them; not a trace of recollection of wbat had been seemed to be retained by either. "Where's Emma?" asked Mr. Camagie. "Sbe went out after luncheon. I thought ¦he had probably gone to the town, and that you would come back with her. She may have gone across to Mrs. Jacobaon's, and have stayed there, gossiping." Mt. Carnagie began to whistle. Preaently he spoke again, and looked impatiently at his watch. "I want my dinner. It is ten miuutes past the hour." " I hope abe will uot be long," waa all tho comfort poor Susan could give. " I think I shall take to dining out there,'* he contiuued, nodding his bead in the direc¬ tion of the town. " At the mess?" remarked Suaan, wishing her sister would copie in. Sasau Chase gathered in the meaning of the words: she gathered In the full meaning of other worda—and actions—that had loom¬ ed anpleasantly upon her for sometime paat; and she tumed siok with a defined fear, aud a heavier heart. A yawning gulf aeemed stretched ont before her, waiting for some¬ body's feet to fall into it. She wished It was her own, if that might save her aiater. After Captain Chard's retnrn from bis leave of ab¬ sence, she, Susan, would not be hera; Emma would then be alone. If sbe renewed this absurd intimacy with him what might not be the result? Mrs. Camagie soon cam® rannlng in. Captain .Chard had gone. " Emma—" Susan stopped. She sat down on an ottoman, and almost gasped for breath; twenty senteuoea rose to her lips, and none seemed appropriate. "Emma, yoa are too much with Captain Chard," ^he uttered at length. Mrs. Carnagie tooI£' the worda with nucom- mon coolness. "Haa Mr. Camagie been help¬ ing you to that opinoin?" " For ahame, Emma ! No! Bat you have been wUUnlly blinding him. Yoa have told him that Captain Chard's object in coming here so much was to see me." "DidhoteU you that?" "Yes—^believing it.

"Thank yoa for waming me," replied Mrs. Cam'agle, with a mocking smile. "Ob, Emma!" cried Susan, imploringly raising her hinds, "have yoa forgotten that you are your mother's daughter—our siller' —the wife of Charles Carnagie? You must alter. You cannot think to—to disgrace her memory—to briug ahame upon ns and him?" " Why, Susan, what has taken you to¬ night? I should think you have canght the fever we spoke of.

Chard haa got the leave for home at last, and sails by next packet—whioh will be in a day or go.— I shall have more to do when he is gone." " I knew he had obtained it," answered Susan. *'Yes, I imagiue yon did," said Mr. Carna¬ gie. "And that you are the moving motive," he added, looking at her with a meaning amile. " I joked Chard aboat it to day, com¬ ing off parade, and he turned as red as hia coat—I thought the acarlel would never go down. Thoae fair meu do show their blushes if they have got any." Supan did not understand. "What did you joke him about," she inquired. " Now, Sasau! how prettily innocent you appear. There is no occasion to make a mystery of it to me, for I know about it from Emma." " About wbat, Mr, Carnagie ? I am making no mystery." " Why—if yoa will have me say it—you know Chard haa got leave for home; you acknowledge tbat?" I "Yes, I know that." " And you know, I presume, that he haa her face and lips grew as white as the work she was engaged on. "Iseelhave startled you, Suaan," said Mr. Carnagie. *" I did not mean to' hurt or vex you; and if you objeot to my knowing it, I am aorry Emma should have told me." Snaan opened her lips to assure Mr. Car¬ nagie that CapCa n Chard was sot, and had never been anything to her; butatern thongbt oame sternly over her, and ahe stopped her¬ self in time. At that moment her sister's flarriage appeared in sight, aud she raised her hand to point it out to Mr. Carnagie. " Yes I I wonder where she haa been. Now we cau have dinner. Touch tbe hand bell, will you, Susan, and tell them to be quick over it. Snsan, I am sorry 1 vexed yojx.^' " Thank you, Mr. Carnagie ; you did uo^ vex me. I waa only—only surprised," waa Stisan's answer. Mr. Carnagie leisurely descended the stepa to be iu readiness to help his wife from the carriage', and Susau pressed her forehead np¬ on the railings of tbe verandah, ber bead aching and her heart sick. Why should Mrs. Carnagie have told ber husband that Captain Chard's attraction there was herself? It was a barefaced untruth.— Captain Chard had not paid her any atten¬ tion whatever. .Except—it now oame iuto her brain like a flash of light,aud the indig¬ nant crimson came to her brow with it—ex¬ cept wheu Mr. Carnagie had beeu at home.— Theu he had beeu attentive to her; but Su¬ san, in ber indifference to Captain Chard, had uot taken heed of it. A frightful suspicion of what Emma's motive might bave been— of what it mast have been—came searing her heart, and Sasau Chase wrung her hands ia despair and tribulation. " I am sorry I kept you waiting," Mra- Carnagie had the grace to say. " I called in at tbe Lettsoms* and they kept me." " At-the Lettsoms'I" repeated Mr.-Carnagie. " Have you beeu iiito the to#tt ?" " AU the afternoon, at one place or auothe r. Susan, you look tired." " It's odd I should not bave seen the car¬ riage, I wiah I had seen it; I ahonld have been glad to come iiome iu it, iustead bf riding, for my head aehea frightfally, and the sun did it no good. Have yoa auy one com¬ ing here to night ?" " No I Unleas Captain Chard should drop in. I met him." "Because I ahall go to bed," said Mr. Car¬ nagie. " What ia that for?" asked hia wife. " If my head ia to split, as it is splitting now, I can't ait up. It is as if I were going to have the fever." Snaan raised her eyes. Mr. Carn^io^did look ill; his face hot and his eyelids heavy. And though he had complained of wanting hia dinner, she saw he waa playing with it more than eating it. "Howdoes the.fever come on?" sbe in- qtilred. "We have more sorts of fever than onoi Susan," he answered. "Sometimes tha fel¬ low will be hanging about you for a fortnight and you are langmd aud miaerab^, and can not tell what'a the matt'er with you till it breaks out. But the worst fever comes on without warning, almost like a sun stroke* and it often does ita work." " Kills yoa, do you mean ?" returued Sasan. Mr. Carnagie nodded, laid dowu his knife aub fork, and, when the cloth was removed, he rose and said he should go at once to bed Mrs. Camagie followed bim up stairs, though whether she went to hia room with him Susan did not know. Captain Chard came in later, and be waa the only viaitor they had that night. " What is the matter witb Carnagie ?" he inqnired. "Only the headache," aaid Mra. Carnagie "It was through riding about in the aun.— He began talking to Stxaau about fever— frightening her, I think." "No," interposed Susan, quietly; "he did not frighten me. I think he looked ill." Between nine and ten Susan went up ataira for some lace sbe wanted for her work, leaving her sister and Captain Chard playing cribbage. When she returned both had left the room. She looked iu the other sittiag- room, which was also lighted up, but they were not there. Susan stepped on to the varandah, to the dark comer of it, and stood there, leaning over the front ratlings and looking oat. She thought she felt dampness in the air, and knew it waa not well to stand in it, bnt her heart was too busy with anxious thoughts to be over-cautious that night. It was bright moonlight, and presently her eye caaght good opinion and the world's favor. Emma, if you would but turn to Mr. Carnagie with affection, he would turn to you." " I will not turn to bim," she passionately interrupted; "for the love I once bore him has changed to hate. Do not look at me like that; I tell you it has! I hate Charles Car¬ nagie 1" She snatched up a light aa she spoke and left the room. Snaan was very unhappy, and lay awake half the night. On the fol_ lowing morning Mr. Carnagie was no better, but he dressed and went into the town. Sa¬ san asked whether that was prudent. " Oh, there was nothing like exertiou to Shake off a touch of tbe fever," was bis reply, and it was the laat day of Chard's stay. Captain Chard rode up in the course of the day to take leave, and Mrs. Camagie oame down to receive him ; but she had not previ¬ oualy joined her aister—afraid, Suaan suj^po- sed, of a recurrence to the last night'a topic. Tbey dined alone, Susan and her sister, Mr. Carnagie having said he should uot bo home for it; only monosyllables passed be¬ tweeu them. Afterwards, Susau was surpri¬ sed at seeing the carriage bronght rotind, and Kmma came down iu a silk evening dreas.— There waa a party at the Lettsoms*. "Are you going-out this evening?" she exclaimed, unable to prevent a shade of re¬ proach in her tone. " Suppose your husbaud ahould come home ill: beseemed very un¬ well this moruing. "III! when he has been iu towu all day.— He is making bimself comfortable at the mess, that is wbat he is doing. Good by, Snsan!" Aa Susan stood iu the verandah she aaw Ruth take dowu her mistress's bouuet and cloak aud place them in the oarriage. What was that for ? Could Emma be goiug to re turn home on foot ? She leaned forward aud asked ber. "No," was Mrs. Camagie's an¬ swer; ahe waa to return iu Mrs. Jacoh-^Ou's carriage. Mr. Carnagie arrived soon after her depar¬ ture in a hired conveyance. He was mnch worse, but thought it was only throngh pelt* i))g about in the heat. He aaked where Em¬ ma was, would not have a doctor fetched, bnt weut to hia chamber. Iu the morning, just before the hour for rising, one of the black women came to Sasau's room aud said Mr. Carnagie was in a raging fever. Susan started up iu a fright. Was Mrs. Camagie with him ?

"How aUameful i" murmured Susau, as she hastily dressed herself;" aad her hus¬ band iu tuis state." She sent ofF for the tloottir, aud ttieii weut to Rath*a apartment—she was uot iu it. Tho bed liad uot been slept iu. She was bewil¬ dered. Mr. Carnagie was iu bed iu a ragiug fever, and calling wildlj for his wife. She must be got there instanily. Susau asked Jicko, as the black mau who drove was usually called, wliat his mistress had said to Lim—whether he thougbt she might still be at the Lett- som*s, or sleeping at Mrs. Jacobsou's. Jicko had no idea upon the poiut. Poor Jicko, in a planter's house, would hava been flogged evary day for staptdity. So Jicko and tbe carriage were dispatched to both, places. Hh came back and said Hts. Carna¬ gie was at neither. Susan could make out uothiug. She thought the shortest plan would be to go herself, and bring Emma. She entered the carriage, and told Jicko to drive to Mrs. Lett- som's." As they were going aloug, oue of the of¬ ficers, who was riding home from early duty, came cantering up to the carriage. " How is Carnagie?" he asked, taking off his bat. "Has the fever laid hold of him?— We feared it had, wben we sent him li'ome last niglit," " I fear so," replied Susau. "He is deliri¬ ous."

The Experiences of Susan Chase.
BT THE ADTHOB Of "THE HEIS TO ASHLEY. [COSTISrED.]
CHAPTER III.
THE FliiBS.
It was one ofthe first days of early spring. Two young ladies stepped from thair hoase into the ganlen, to see what opening flowers, what budding trees had weathereii the biting winds and frosts. They were Susan and Ursula Chaae. One of them was tail and fltout, and sbe looted about herwith intereat, for ahe loved the garden-:—that was Ursula; the other, a fair, quiet girl, with a subdued look of care on her face, waited more ab- fltractedly, aa Ifshe were occupied with in- waid tboug- ta—thU was Susan.
Ursula Ulked eagerly as they slowly Strolled along; the fine sunshine had put her into spirits. Her sister replied in monosyll¬ ables.
"How flul' you are, Susan !" she exclaim¬ ed, at length, "what is tbe matter?"
"Nothing" answered Susan.
"I know- You aro thiuking of that com¬ plaining letter of Mrs. Carnflgie's. You uev- tft-will overget that habit of yours, Susan, of taking little disagreeables to heart- Ur. Camagie writes as if she were not happy. WeU; she could not expect to be. But that 13 no reason why you should sigh over it, and walk through this woloome suushine as if you did not care for it, or for the -promis- iug aspect of tbe sbrubs and flowers.
They were passing a garden-seat as Ursula spoke, and Susau sat down upon it, and touched ber sister's arm to detain her. **I will tell you what is troubling me, Ursula; why I cannot enjoy this spriug day, or any¬ thing else just uow. I have beeu thinking ever since that letter arrived from Kmma "
"From Mrs. Carnagie. Well ?"
*' Tbat one of us ought to go out to her."
"Ought to dj wAai?"eohoed Ursula, iua tone of anger and astonishment."
"To go out and he with her in ber approach¬ ing illness."
"Susan I am amazed at you—I am shocked at you!" uttered Ursula. "Have you forgot¬ ten ber conduct: liow wickedly she behaved to us^to yoa ?"
"But"—Susau answered in a low voice— "you remember wh>' it i^ has charged na that if our brother siu agdiiist us we shall forgive him ; not once, hut seventy .times sev¬ en."
"We are not charged to give iu It/ Mrs. Camagie's fanciful caprices." peremptorily spoke Ursula, drowning ber sister's voice. "That cannot have anything to do with relig¬ ion."
"Oh, yes it bas, Ursula. Since her letter came I have beeu considering it in all lights, aud feel that one of us ought to go to ber."
"Yon bavs strange notions!'* exclaimed Ursula.
"When the thought first flashed across me, I drove it aipay—it may be augrily: I would not dwell upon it. But it aeemed determined not to be driven away; and itkeeps whisper¬ ing to me tbat it must be done, if we would fulfill our duty."
"Would it be pleasant to you, may I ask, to go and visit Charles Carnagie ?"
"No. Very unpleasant."
"And / am not going. So the thing ia im¬ possible, and need not be spoten of."
"Could you not be induced to go V asked Susan.
"Never. Had things gone on as they ought, and yon wera there in her place, I coald not ha^e gone out to yon, Sasan dear, for a hot climate would till me. Look how ill I am in tbe heat of summer, even here. 'No. I will not sacrifice my health for Mra. Carnagie She is not worthy of it. "
"She is onr sister, Ursula."
"Do not let as prolong a useless discussion, Susan. Nothing in the world wonld induce me to go out, so let tbe matter rest. Were I to aee Mrs. Carnagie, bere or there, it would only be to reproach her. Shall we proceed- ?"
Susan waved away the proposal, and re¬ mained seated. " We must settle this mat¬ ter, Ursula, but not by letting it rest. I felt sure you would not go; therefore," ahe added, in a lower tone, " I have been making np my mind to it." "Not to go to Barbadoes !" "Yes, I have. If we let ber remain to go through ber illness alone, and she should die in it, as sbe says sbe fears, we sbould never cease to reproach ourselves. I never should.*' "She is not going to die under it," retort¬ ed Ursula. "She was always fall of fancies.*' "I hope she is not. But you see, by her letter, how low-spirited she is ;how sho dreads
"Her conscience pricks her,", said Uraula. "One with a bad conscience is afraid of every¬ thing."
"Dear Ursula, you will so much oblige me by never alluding in tbat way to the past.— It is oVer and gone, and ought to be buried
in oblivion. Surely, if I bave forgotten it, you may."
"You, bave not forgotten it, Susan,"
"Quite as much so as is needful and neces¬ sary. Of course, to entirely forget it, as a thing that bas never taken place, U an im_ possibility, but I h-ve forgiven them both in my own heart."
"And retain no tender remembrance of him ? I don't believe you, Susau. You are not one to forget so easily."
"Yes I am, where there is a necessity," Susan almost sternly said. "I bave been true to him for my whole life, though he must have passed it abroad, and I bere, as those few years were passed ; but from the very moment I knew be did not care for me, I set to wort to root bim from my heart; and I have well succeeded. HoV could you think it was otherwise, Ursula f—and he the has hand of Emma!"
"Nay, don't be put out. I did not think you were cherishing the old love—of course not but I thought there would be sufficient of its remembrance left to preveut yonr run¬ ning to see them in the first year of tbeir marriage."
Sasan felt tbo words. Ursula was of a stern, unforgiving nature, and ber remarks were often cutting.' " I am not running to see them for ple.isure ; it will be anythiug but pleasant to me ; although he is to me now no more than my sister's husband. I would rather go over the whole wide earth than to Barbadoes ; but the sense of duty impels
" You always did thiuk so much about
that' duty' " peevishly remnrked Urania.
" Your conscientiousues must be very strong." " I suppose it is : I believe it is. Anil there is another thing whicb urges me lo go," ad¬ ded Susan; " my iove for Emma. Altbougb she acted as she did, I canuot forget how fond 1 was of her, and since the arrival of the let¬ ter, when Ihave thongbt of her as ill, anxious, lonely, not (as it seems) too happy, all my old dear love for her has come back to me.*' "Tou would go sailing oat, and make your¬ self a slave to the humors of Mra-Camagie andatopthere'asnorse-maidtoherohildrenl" cried the vexed Ursula. " In twenty years from this we shonld not see yoa home agaiii." *¦ Not Boi'^ answered Susan. " When once Emma la safely over her illness, I shall oome baok.

"OhI if 70°^ ^^^^ nude up yoor mind there's nothing more to he said, for it would not tarn you," resentfally spoke Ursula.— ''Shall yon start torday?" she ironioaUy added.
" No," smiled Sasan, " bnt I should like to be away by this day fortnight—slioald a ves¬ sel be Bailing. My own preparation will not take long.'*
" Sasan I yoa are not in earnest I"
"Now that I have made up my mind, the sooner I am away the better. I muflt be there before Emma's illness."
"Tbat'snot going to happen in a week."
" Neither can I reach Barbadoes in a week. I wish you conld see this in tbe light that I do, Ursula; you would not grumble at me then."
It was the loving spirit of charity, of for¬ giveness, that was urgtag Suaan Chase to take this long journey to visit her siater. A sea- sou of bitter desolation had passed over Sa¬ aan, during which her heart had been puri¬ fied to wiser and better things than the daily gratification self. Ursula had not yet found this spirit; ber time for it was not yet come ; sbe wad proud and unforgiving; never since her sister's marriage had she called her by her famtlior christaln name, always " Mrs. Carnagie;" and yet Emma had not sinned against her, but against Susan. To visit them—as Ursula expressed it—the first year of their marriage, could not be pleasant to her feelings ; but Emma bad written home a long and most heart-rending letter, every page of which implied a wish, though it was not expressed, that Snsau was with ber to oomfort and forgive her, and to take oare of her in an approaching time of peril. Susan asked herself how sho could refuse to go— she who had promised to their mother, on her death-bed, always to cherish Emma.
When her resolution became known, the neighborhood troubled itself amazingly about it, neighborhood fashion. It chiefly adopted the views of Ursula. But Suaan waa not to be dismayed, aud witb as little delay a necea¬ sary, she started on her voyage.
CHAPTER IV.
The house occupied by Lieutenant and Mra. Carnagie was called the Fines, and was situated near tbe capital of Barbadoes, where Mr. Camagie's regiment was quartered. A small house for a West-Indian country bouse, but it was very pretty, of gay, cheerful. ap¬ pearance, with a good veran'dah rnnning along the front and the west side, whence a few steps descended to the garden—a well-kept garden, full of trees, flowers, and tropioal fruits. Marriage—frantic aa they were for it —had not brought to Mr. and Mra. Camagie the happiness tbey bad possibly anticipated. It may be that some fault lay on both sides ;• it is generally so, wbere dissensions take place in early married days. Mrs. Carnagie was exacting and warm iu her temper, and the lieutenant was more careless to please her than he might have been.
She was sitting one evening iu a sullen mood, full of anger at her husband, for be ought to have been home to diuner, but bad not come, and she had taken it aloue. Tho sudden dartneas succeeding to the garish day, with scarcely any twilight, and to which Mrs. Carnagie bad grown aconstomed, had 3carc*?ly overspread the room whenahe heard her husband's horae canter up. She rose from her sofa, touched a hand-bell for lights, and prepared a loud reproach as she waited for him. Mr. Camagie, tall and dark as ever, entered listlessly, and ere she could speak, laid a let¬ ter before ber, wltha remark tbat the packet was in.
" Why did you not come home to dinner ?" " Chard was out, and I bad to take the afternoon duty," was Mr. Camagie's reply. Mrs. Camagie did not know whether this was true She felt inclined to tell him it was not. But to what use ? since he wonld be sure to persist in the story. He had grown indifferent to coming home of late, and the excuse waa always the same—duty. She generally broke out into reproaches ; whioh were not quite the way to win his allegiance back again.
"You might have sent me word that you did not intend to come bome," she said; " not have kept me waiting an hour for my dinner."
"-That was your own fault. I have de¬ sired you never to wait. An oificer'a time is ¦not bis own."
" It is sn&ciently his own when he chooses to make it so," significantly responded Mrs. Carnagie.
" Why do yon not open yonr letter, Em¬ ma?"
" Oh—I suppose it is like the last: one of Ursula's atifl"epistles, oalHng me'Mrs. Car¬ nagie.' I wonder ahe writes at all!" " This ia from Susan." "From Susan I" echoed Mrs. Camagie, taking up the letter. " How do you know V*
"It is her handwriting." "Yes! of courae yoa remember that J I am positive those letters you keep tied up in a bundle in your deak, and that yoa never will let me see the outside of, were from her. You love her remembrance far better than you love me now."
Mrs. Caraagie waa vQry fooliah. She did not really think this, and her husband knew she did not, hnt she was in a temper to get up reproaches from nothing.
" I have told yoa they were not from Su¬ san," he angrily aaid. "I burnt Susan'a let¬ ters the day after I brought you out here." With a gesture of impatience, he went out on the verandah, and, seating himself ou one of the cool seats there, lighted his cigar. His wife opened the newly arrived letter, aud ran her eyes down it.
" Charles I Charles !" ghe exclaimed, her tone changing to one of joyful eagerness.— " Charles, I have auch news I Do come here !" " What ia it?" he asked, re-entering. "Who do you think is coming out?—to be with me in my illnes. Who do you thiuk ?'» " Ursula ?" "No. Susan." " Sasan ! Coming here ?" "Sasan is coming here. Oh, how kind she is I She ia on her passage now."
" It is more than yon-^more than we both deserve," was his remark. "Are you snre that it is Susan that is coming ?"
" She gives her reasons; and says, ' Show thia letter lO Mr. Carnagie.' She thinks it is ber daty to come and take cara of me in my unhappineas, not only because she loves me bnt because she remembers her promises to my mother. Is she not good, Charles ?"
"Yea," anawered Mr. Carnagie, "she al¬ ways waa."
"Charles, tell me the truth—why did you not come home to dinner?" I have told you. Duty.'
iraz7;Winds.^.. Amidjit the oonfaslon of the i^ral* B^|de leaving tha ship,- Stuan felt (^fWfoBed i^nd anxiqus. - She expected to aee her,sister or.:Mr. Carnagie, or both; but nelthjer arrived to claim her.
I'Sappoae my letter should not have reached them 1" she suddenly exclaimed to herself, and her oheeks burned with crimson at the thoaght of appearing there withoat warning, and having to make the explanation for her. doing so by word of mouth. Ak that very moment.au exceedingly good-looking English oflicer, who had just oome on board, approached, her.
" I think I must be right," he said, with a friendly smile, " that I have the honor of speaking to Miss Chase, for I see a great like¬ ness to Mrs. Camagie."
That was seen throagh poor Susan's mo¬ mentary Hush, "I am Miss Chase," she replied. "Are my sister and Mr. Camagie not here f"
''Mrs. Camagie Is not well; and Mr. Car¬ nagie requested me, last night, to board the ship, H ahe arrived before he got baok."
Sasau fotmd the gentleman speaking to her was a Captain Chard; but ere many minutes had elapsed Mr. Carnagie oame on board. Susan's manner was possessed and calm; it would never be otherwise to. Mr, Camagie again. He hurried her on shore and into the carriage, not giving time for any baggage whatever to accompany them, but ordering it to be sent on.
" How ia Emma ?" ahe inquired of Mr. Car¬ nagie, aj the carriage drove away, for really his movements had been so hasty there waa not time to put the question before.
" Thauk you. She bas a little boy."
"A little boy ?" exclaimed Sasaa. "Since when F" "
"Only today."
"Oh, I am sorry "you should have left home to meet me. I could have found my way to you I make no doubt. Is she well!"
"Yes: I believe ao. Chard had .sent me word that the ship ^as casting anchor, so I thought the beat plan was to come and bring you at once to Emma."
Wben Susan arrived at the Fines she had to wait before she could go into her sister's room, and Mr. Carnagie left her in one of the sitting rooms. Susan waa very hot ; she Was sure she would not like a West Indian elimate, and aho sat admiring the cool mat¬ ting, and the cool, floating fans which kept up a perpetnal breeze, when the door opened and Hath came in. Tbe girl burst into tears when Susau shook her by the hand, so de¬ lighted was she to see a home face. She had lived with them in England, and bad accom¬ panied Emma on ber marriage.
Rath," asked Mis - Chase, "was not this event rather sudden !' I thought to have been here for it. I understood from my sister it was not expected till May."
"That is what we all thongbt, Miss Susan,'' was the girl's answer. "I think my mistress made beraelf ill."
"What do you mean, Rnth?"
"The night before last she was put, on*- about something, and she quarreled with Mr, Carnagie. Quite violent she was, and I be¬ lieve that toot eifect upon her. She is a good deal altered from what she used to he, miss, and puts herself out over tbe least thing."
Mrs. Carnagie improved iu health. At the end of a week Susau laughingly asked her where her presentment of non-recovery had flown to.
"It ia all owing to your care and your good nuraing," answered Emma. "Oh Susan I you are a deal kinder to me thau I deserve.— Charles said ao the evening after yonr letter arrived. After our conduct—"
"We will bury the past iu the past,'* in¬ terrupted Suaan. "It is the ouly request I make you."
"WeU, so ho it I But juat lot me tell yo« one thing, Sasan, that if I bad forseen all you should have been the one to have him, if you would, but not I. If you knew bow very different he is from what he appeared that month at our hoase—"
"Emma, I entreat you, let us find some other topic of discourse."
"You will not hear anything against him ; I see what it is," cried the perverse invalid. " You think him an angel, and everything that is good, but he is just the contrary. Yoa can't deny that yoa had used to think bim one, Susan; and of coarse yon. do still."
Susan was pained. She did not like tbe charge, and yet scarcely liked to condwoend to refute it. She begun to think Kmma more childish than ever, and saffered her to run on.
" I don't believe he cares for me at all; not half or a quarter as much as he used to care for yon. I am thankful for your sake, Susan dear, that yoa did not have him. He has grown indifferent to his home, stops out, and never cares to apologiae ; and one day—it was about last Christmas—he frightened me nearly out of my senses. I never saw any rational being in such a passion in all my Ufe : his fury was frightful. Did you know he could put himself into tbese fits of pas¬
te him, and yoa never onght to have saffered it.to pass yoa lips in speaking with him. It wasnotyoar aflafr, orone yoa had any ba¬ siness with. Never speak of It again, Emma; banish it from yonr memory. He Is your husband now, your lawful husband; be to him a kind and affectionate wife, and if he is not yet (though I should hope he is) quite allhe ought to be, he will become so in time. It resU with yon."
"Yoa had a Inoky escape, Snaan," persist¬ ed Mrs. Camagie. "Fanoy what U waa, al¬ most as soon as I landed, to be told tbat he had been as good as married before ? Wbat would you have said, had such news greeted you ?''
" I should have said—whatever I may have felt—that it was no friend to me who could impart such. Who told you, Eibma V
" Major Jaoobson*s wife. Her husband is on half-paV, and holds some civil post here. She has lived on the island for years, and knows the ins and oats of all the officers* af¬ fairs, however many may be quartered here. She spoke of It quite as a matter of course, like one might speak of the ckauging of a servant. Chariea found, though, that I did not tate it as a matter of course. We have never been cordial since."
" And is it this whioh has created tbe un¬ happineas, the dissension yon speak of, be¬ tween you^and your hoshand?"
"That is the chief. That was the firat and great cause: but I have fouud out plenty of faults to reproach him with since. Not per¬ haps ofthe same nature; I don't aay tbat."
" You have looked out for faults, I fear,'* said Susan.
"To be sore I have. Things that I might never have thought of, or should have passed
here,*' he-oontisaed, "and some of-tbem have uot been alack. Chard has oome ten times. He would not do thia withoiit a pow¬ erful motive."
Suaan aaid nothing. What tvat Mr. Car¬ nagie driving at?
" And as be has made it all right -with a certaiu young lady, I expeot she will be going by the next packet,.and oome baok with him a.1 Mrs. Chard, Yoa see I am au-couraqf, Susan."
Susan stared at Mr. Caraagie,and ran over the few available young ladies in her mind, all of whom visited at the Fines.. She could fix on none. "What young lady is it?" she resnmed. " Oh, Susan I to pretend ignorance, and ask me that I You had naed to be superior to coquetry. But possibly you think J'have forfeited all claims to be the depository of your love aeorets f"
It was the first time he had ever alluded in any way to the past, and Susan felt her face flash a little. Therefore, when she spoke, it was with cold, pointed calmness.
"I am really ignorant to what yoa are al¬ luding, Mr. Camagie: if I were not I would not pretend it. I have not beard tbat Cap¬ tain Chard was likely to marry."
He roae np in astonishment, and stood be-. fore her. "SusanI"
" What ? What do yoa mean ?'* " It is you that Chard is going to marry.— Nobody else."
" Mel" uttered Susan. " Who oould have told you that ?"
"Emma beraelf. I asked her, -.>ne day, what on earth, brought Chard dancing up here everlastingly, and she said it was after you. Tfiat things were settled, or on the
over lightly; but I felt my beart completely point of being settled, between you."
'• I never saw him in one," was Susan'a somewhat evasive answer; for she remem¬ bered what Frances Maitland bad once told her.
" Well, be can ; tboagh I believe it takes a good deal to excite him to it. Never marry a passionate man, Suaan."
" Do yoa never lose your temper yourself and fall into a paaaion?" aaked Susan, in a half-joking manner.
" I ? If I do lose my temper I have
cause,*' returned Mra. Carnegie. " There are
some tilings one cannot and ought not put up
with; even you, Susan, patient as you are,
I would not."
! " Whatever they may be, ill temper will
j not mend them," replied Susan. "A pleas-
1 ant spirit, one with the othei, would soothe
the rubs and aggravations of life, and render
! you both so much happier. Besides, aa your
. little child grows up what an example anger
and discourtesy would be to aet before him."
"You are not aware what lives aome of
these officers lead out here, especially the
single ones. They make what they call lef^-

"Oh, Kmmat" crif*d Suaan, in an anguish¬ ed tone, " how can I hope to bring you to your senses?—to a juat view of yeur duty to your husband? All tbat has taken place (I am not seeking, mind, to excuse the facta) was over, and probably done with. I cannot think otherwise, and it was your duty and interest to regard it as such. In visiting this upon Mr. Camagie in reproaches, in perverse temper, you, hia wife, you were digging a pit of miaery for your whole Ufe."
" Of courae I Charles is right, and I am wrong. He did right, then, and the other of¬ ficers do right, and Miss Chaae has tumed champion for them! I wish I had never written you how unhappy I waa. I might have known if yon came oat it would not be to aympatiiize with my wrones, but to defend Lieutenant Carnagie. Let my pillow alone, Susan : it does not want fidgeting with."
The teara filled Susan's eyea, and ahe al¬ most wishsd she had listened to Ursula, aud left Mr. aud Mrs. Carnagie to themaelvea.— How should she succeed in bringing her sis¬ ter into a better frame of mind and temper? Could she succeed?
If sbe did it would be a miracle. Any one -but Susan, so persevering aud patient, would have deemed tbe task a hopeless one. Kmma Chase, by nature, was obstinate, self-willed, fractious, and iuordinately vain; but as Emma Chase, shielded in her own home, guided by wise frieuda, little scope had been afforded for their display. She bad been indulged , and made a pet of, her vanity was fostered, and her wbima were given way to, and even Susan had not kuown bow very little good there was iu her. But as Mra. Carnagie all the ill was displayed, and worse than all.
The Uttle child died. Mr. Carnagie evi¬ dently mourned it deeply, aud Emma, for a wbole week, went iuto iuceaaaut bursts of tears. Had they been wise, bad Emma been alive to her own iutereat, they might have beeu reconciled to each othar, have buried grievances, and laid the foundation for a hap¬ py and peaceful life. Somehow it was uot done; and Susan was afraid almost to breaihe to herself her conviction that the fault was Emma's, lest she might be accused of partial¬ ity for Mr. Carnagie.
CHAPTER VI. Autumn came, and Susan Chase was still at Barbadoes. She had uot dared to leave Emma, for a new fear for her had begun to spring up: her extreme gayety of conduct. It is true there was not m^ch scope for joining in worldly amusement where they were sita- ated, but however little or much might be go¬ ing ou, Mra. Carnagie was certain to he in it. Aud, what was most especially distasteful to Susan, ahe was invariably surrounded by red-coats at luncheon, lounging in the after¬ noon bazaar at Bridgetowon, dressed out at parties in the evening; in auy and all o^ these might be seen Mrs. Carnagie, flirting with all wbo would flirt with her. Her hus¬ band remonstrated—-not against her flirting: be wonld not, in his pride, pnt it upon that score; but againat the expense. Hta income was good, but not extravagant, and Mrs. Car¬ nagie waa getting into extravagant habits.— The luncheons she wonld cauae to be aet out and the eveuing entertainments she would give, were profusely expensive. Mr. Carnagie might aa weU have remonstrated to the moon for she paid no manner of attention to him. Susan was miserable, and Emma laughed at bur.
One day Mr. Camagie came in, looking vexed aud tired. It waa dinner hour, but Mrs. Carnagie was out on some expedition, and did not seem to be remembering it. Sa¬ san was sitting witb her work in the veran¬ dah, and he came and atood by her. They had lapsed from the first quite into their re¬ lative position of brother and sister-in law, and former days had never been alluded to between them; not a trace of recollection of wbat had been seemed to be retained by either.
"Where's Emma?" asked Mr. Camagie.
"Sbe went out after luncheon. I thought ¦he had probably gone to the town, and that you would come back with her. She may have gone across to Mrs. Jacobaon's, and have stayed there, gossiping."
Mt. Carnagie began to whistle. Preaently he spoke again, and looked impatiently at his watch.
"I want my dinner. It is ten miuutes past the hour."
" I hope abe will uot be long," waa all tho comfort poor Susan could give.
" I think I shall take to dining out there,'* he contiuued, nodding his bead in the direc¬ tion of the town.
" At the mess?" remarked Suaan, wishing her sister would copie in.
Sasau Chase gathered in the meaning of the words: she gathered In the full meaning of other worda—and actions—that had loom¬ ed anpleasantly upon her for sometime paat; and she tumed siok with a defined fear, aud
a heavier heart. A yawning gulf aeemed stretched ont before her, waiting for some¬ body's feet to fall into it. She wished It was her own, if that might save her aiater. After Captain Chard's retnrn from bis leave of ab¬ sence, she, Susan, would not be hera; Emma would then be alone. If sbe renewed this absurd intimacy with him what might not be the result? Mrs. Camagie soon cam® rannlng in. Captain .Chard had gone.
" Emma—" Susan stopped. She sat down on an ottoman, and almost gasped for breath; twenty senteuoea rose to her lips, and none seemed appropriate. "Emma, yoa are too much with Captain Chard," ^he uttered at length.
Mrs. Carnagie tooI£' the worda with nucom- mon coolness. "Haa Mr. Camagie been help¬ ing you to that opinoin?"
" For ahame, Emma ! No! Bat you have been wUUnlly blinding him. Yoa have told him that Captain Chard's object in coming here so much was to see me." "DidhoteU you that?" "Yes—^believing it. I did not undeceive him then; I thought I must apeak to yoa first Emma, If you do not alter yonr plan of conduct you wiU be lost."
"Thank yoa for waming me," replied Mrs. Cam'agle, with a mocking smile.
"Ob, Emma!" cried Susan, imploringly raising her hinds, "have yoa forgotten that you are your mother's daughter—our siller' —the wife of Charles Carnagie? You must alter. You cannot think to—to disgrace her memory—to briug ahame upon ns and him?" " Why, Susan, what has taken you to¬ night? I should think you have canght the fever we spoke of. Who saya, I am going to diagrace yoa?"
" You will inevitably loae your good name; if you go on as you have latterly beeu doing, lapsing into familiarity with other men and deceiving your husbaud, you will deserve to lose it. Halt in your course wbile you are safe, and wbile you hold your husband's
