CHAPTER I.AK INTERRUPTED WEDDtSG.

It was the first of May, the marriage day ofthe Viscount Montreasor, of Montressor Castle.Dorsetshire, and Estelle, the only daughter andbeiress of SirParke Moreile, Hyda Hall, Devon-shire. *

A glorious morning! the cloudless blue sky srciN«d down upon the green bills, and dewy dales anddeep wood* of Devon; and the park aronnd theHall was ill alive and musical, with tbe joyoussongs of biid«. and tbe merry laughter of youngmen aad maidens gathering to celebrate theirMay-day festival, aad to do honor to themarriageof their landlord's daughter.

Theelm-shaded, winding avenuethat led fromtbe highway to the house, was arched at each ter-minus by a mammoth wreath of flowers, and ma*ny were tbe carriages that p»s<ed under them, ontheir way to aa«ist at the wedding; and thesecontained only tbe bridesmaids, and the nearestfriends andrelatives of the family, whoserelationship or position gave them theright to attend thebride to church?for a still more numerous partybad been invited to meet her at tbe altar. Tbevillagers and tenants, grouped about under theahade of tbe great old trees, or wandering overtbe greensward on either side of the avenue,watched tbese equipages as they rolled on, com-menting as usual on such occasions.

"Oh?dear me < the weddingers won't pass tillnearly twelve! and bera we are to wait twomortal hours I" said a young girl to the game-keeper.

"Hush I mydarling, look, here cornea hit Lord-?hip's carriage itaeif, jait as sure as you're tbeprettiest lass inlie country "

It iraji Lord Montressor's carriage.Early that morniag, a note from his affianced

bride bad been put In his taods, summoningh mto a private conference with ber at the Hall, beforetbey should proceed to tbe church. Surprised andtilled with vague uneasiness, his lordship lost notime in obeying the bebtat

Within the moat recludeJ of her suite of richlyfurnished apartments at tbe old Hall, half buriedin tbe deptba of a cushioned chair, reclined thebride expectant, in bridal array.

She was alone, ber attendants having, by herown desire, withdrawn.

Ettelle Morelle?or "la belle Estelle," " Beau-tiful Stella," " tbe MidnightStar"?as, for ber resplendent dark beauty, she was poetically named?was at tbia time twenty-five yeara of age, andmore lovely tban a poet's or an artist's ideal. Herform was of medium height, and very slender,though well-rounded, with a graceful head, overwhich fell rich masses of jet black silken ringlets,shading a face of pure, pale olive complexion withlarge mournful dark eyes, habitually veiled bytbe long, drooping lashes, and delicate, thoughfull, curved lips, ever patientlyclosed as lu silentresignation The prevailing expression of herdark, brilliant countenance was a profound mel-ancholy.

Tbe announcementof Miss Morelle's approach-ing marriage with the Viscount Montressor badcreated a profound sensation in the fashionableand aristocratic circles. A peerless beauty, theonly child and heiress of the oldest, wealthiest and

. haughtiestbaronet in tbe West of England, berbaart bad been as much the objectof aspiration totbe youthful and ardent, as her hand and fortunehad been the end of desire to tbe mercenary andambitious

At the early age of seven years, Estelle had beenplaced at one of the first-class female institutionsof learning at Paris, then aa now, consideredamong tbe very best of their kind in the world,and there had been left to remain until her six-teenth year, when tbe sudden and calamitousbreaking up of tbe institution, and ber own severeIllness, had occasioned her removal That illnesshad been attended with marked changes in the con-stitution and Umperament of the young girl.

Estelle, previously tne most careless, light-hearted and capricious of children, left ber cham-ber of convalescence a subdued, thoughtful,melancboly woman! The laughing lips of girlhoodclosed in patient sadness; the sparkling eyessheathed their beams under long, shadowy lashes,now seldom lifted ; the silvery, elastic voice, sankinto deep and thrillingtonee; thefree, glad moronswere measured and controlled.

She never entered another school, bat comple-ted her education nnder the best masters, at home.To dis ipate what was considered a transientmelancholy, her parents traveled with her overEurope, pausing at each capital and chief town,toshow her all that was interesting and instructive.But though their daughter repaid their attentionswith the sweetest gratitude, and obeyed them withthe gentlest docility, she showed no interest Inthe passing scenes. And though everywhere herextreme beauty and sweetness of disposition, notless than her fortune and position, drew aroundher many friend* aud admirers, Estelle remainedalone In her isolated thoughtsand feelings. Everymost distinguished physician in Europe had beenconsulted upon her case, and the result of theirwisdom was a decision that this melancholy wasnpt the effect of ill health, still less of secret sor-row, but that it was a constitutional phase thatwould probablypass away with maturingyears.

They returned to England presented theirdaughter at court, and introduced her into all thegaieties of fashionable life. Bat with no happyeffect upon the spirits of Estelle, who remainedprofoundly,unmoved amid the eclat that greetedher debut Her picturesque beauty was the themeof all tongues?her mournful glance was fascina-ting?her deep tones thrilling?her touch magnetic;all felt her power, yet she who could move allothers, remained unimpressed She who soughtneconquests, for that very reason, perhaps,mademany. A peer and two commoners, in succession,laid their fortunes at her feet, and were in tarnkindlyand firmly rejected

So passed her first season,in London, at theclose of which her par eats took her down to theiraeat in Devonshire. Here, in her thoughtful, quietunostentatious manner, the engaged iu works cfbenevolence among tbe villagers and the tenantry.And her father, hoping much from this employ-ment, gave her full liberty of action, and smiledto seethat she seemed less pensive thanbefore.At the beginning of tbe parliamentary term,toe family went np to London.And It was here in her aecond season in townthat Estelle formed tbe acquaintance of LordMontreuor, a young nobleman but lately aoced-ed to his titles and eitatee, but already known as? maa of the most high toned moral and intellec-tual excellence as a righteous, as wall a* arisingstatesman, and as one who in tbe event of aebuteof m nlstry, would be likely to fill a highofficial position in Hla majesty's cabinet. Asidefrom tbe glare of rank and wealth and power,Obarlee Montressor was a glorious specimen cftoe Creator a workmanship Above tbe averagestandard of height among his countrymen, broad*shouldered and deepcheated, with a noble head,and a face full of wi*dom and goodness, h's ap-pearance truly indicated the warm benevolence,clear intelligence, andpure spirit of tbe man. His

.

presence soon inspired Estelle with a faith thateke had not been able to ieel in any other thatapproached her. He drew nearer te her thanany other had been permitted to come: be croaa-«n»gic circle of ber isolation, and con*I,Br *\u25a0 00 other bad been allowed toT£® worW looked and said that the beautiful, i u ' me' ber master and waa con.qoerea.

Write but one word, 'Gome,' and Iwill return to lay an unchanged heart at yourfeet!"

Eatelle was weeping too bitterly to reply."Rteila! will you promise to do this)""Lord Montressor, best and dearest friendl do

not seek to bind yourself to one who can giveyon nothing in return! Try to think of the mel-ancholy girl thatyou havepittied and loved?onlyas a shadow that fell for a moment across the sun-shine of your path,and then passed awayforever!?and so forget her!"

"BtellAl I btT6 my bonor n?T®r to n-new this suit, unless yon reverse in my favor thesentence you have pronounced upon it; hut, in-spired by the deep and dea'.bless love 1bear you,and 'hoping sgsiost hope.'l feel Impelled to implore before leaving yon, tfca% in the event of afavorable change of sentiment orpurpose towardsme you win not hesitate to give me leave to return Stella, will you promise me so much asthat?"

??Noblest fri»nd that I have in the world! howgladly wonld I promise, but I must not, Montres-sor. Wf re Ito do so, you would feel bonnd towait the changes of tny m >od, and so, for a mostundeserving love, might miss in come nobler womsn's sffecuons, the bappines-> in store for you!"

"Stella, will yon rai<e your sweet, mournfuleyes to mine, one moment, that you may read mysoul while I *peak»"

Est lie lifted her dirk orb* to meet the clear,pare, blue eyes bent w.th so much love aod candorupon hers, an i read the deep, unchanging truth ofth» conetancy of h's soul as he «aid?

"Stella, in the presence of the heart searchingGod whosees srd bears me, I assure you that Ishall never love another woman as 1 love yon, and,therefore, of course, can never wed another; sothat whether yon give me this slightest of hopesor not, lam equallyand forever bound! Now willyou promise, Stella ? Remember, it i* only to letme know in case of a change in your sentiments."

For an instant the light of an unutterable loveand joy broke on her beantifnl, dark face, and hersmiling lips parted to speak?when?as if a sud-den and warning had gripped her verybesrt? Bbe uttered a low, sharp cry, turned palerth«n before, and said?

"No! n->! my Lord ! Ste la csnnot even givevon that! She is poorer tban the poorest, in giftst> you! She can only pray that you may forgettier and be happy."

He looked profoundlydisappointed and troubled,Bui soon mastering his despondency he said hope*fully?

"Well, dearest Stella, although you reject mewithout apparent reason, and refuse to give methe slightest promise or the most distant hope, yetI repeat ?should you in the long futnre, changeyour purpose, and write to me one word?'Come,'I will hasten to lay at your feet an unchangedb 'art! Good bye! God be with you !' and raisingnerhand, be bowed over it, pressed it to his lips,turned and left the room.

Some moments after Lady Morelle, who came toseek and congratulate her daughter upon what sheimagined to be the only possible result of tbe in*t»rview- fund Ea elle ly n; in a swoon upon tbefloor I It war" followed by a long and terrible UNneap, termiuaiijg in a tediously protracted convale-scence. Tbe town season «« at band beforeEg*telle was able to re-enter society.

Tbe; wentup to London, auu ?uee mora the "» arof beauty" areas upon iti world And though theclond upon her life settled darker and heavier, da; b;day,she was mora followed, flattered and courted thanbefore.

Thui three years had pasted awaywhea one morn-ing. whil» the famii;, then oceup;in§ their townhouse in Bsrkslev Square, were »e«ted at a lit"breakfast, and Mr Farke was engaged in readingaloudfrom the London Times, an account of the taring oft'm French Ship?Lc Due TfAnjou- wrecked off th'coatt of Algieri -KtteUe uttered alow cry,and tankfainting from her teat.

This at tact was not, as tbe other bad been, followed b; illneu; on tbe contrary from that day. tbecioad seemed 111 ed fronf ber head, and even thosewho had most admired her fieein its shadow, wereenchanted to sse how brilliant was ber beauty in itssucshine ! Herhealth andsti.its daily Improved, vetin the midst of ail this flowing tide of new life, Es-telleastoniibed her friends I>7 sudden);, in tbe heightof the London season, retiring to her fithet's countryseat, where she remained instrict aeolriion from theworld for eighteen months.

At the end cf this period. Lord Montresior, who hadnever left England, or lost 'rase ofhia beloved Stel.a,and who was now staying atbis castlein Dorsetshire,was one cay seated at breakfast, when the morningmail was broughthiu. Among aseore cf letters, thefirst that attracted his attention was a dainty whiteenvelope superscribed in a delicate handwriting Hetook up that first and opened it?it contained butoneword?"Come."

The lignt of an ineffable joy broke over bil face ! ?Oh! he had wai.ed patiently, hopefully, years forthat word,and at last hn received Jt. Thanks to hea-ven inthe fitst inatance! and then pushingail the oth-er letters unopened nidx he spiuDgup, rang for hisvalet, and ordered his valise packed and horses pnttothe carriage

In twenty more minuteshe bad reached the railwaystation, jost as ihe cars were about to start, and inthree hours he waiat Hyde Hall and s'anmng in thep-esence of Estelle ! she looking so beautiful andhaPDy.

With the old ebivalric enthusirim of devotion, hedropped, at onoe, upon his knee, and raised her bandto his saying?

"For four years I have hoped and waited for oneword from y»u, and at last, beloved, you have writ-ten?'Come,' and I am at your feet, as 1 have said,with a> unchanged heart!"

"But I. ' she salt*, rteeplv blushing, while she heldboth hands to raise l.im,"I, myLord, have notan un-changed heart! for longer than four years 1 haveloved you more tnan woman's tongua may tell- andnever more, than at the hour in which we bade fire-well, as t thought, forever!"

"I I now It, beloved! knew it then.' knew It alwciyi! 1 never doubted it! Could I be deceived inthe dear heart of the woman I loved! No! andtba'. was the secr6t of my patience!" he rolled,takinghis seat on the s l'a'y heraide

"And yet you n?ver inquirad,and do not even nowi- quire, why, without aty explanationand wi iuuthope, 1 tent you from my presence, and why now,without apparent retson, 1 summon yon baek !" shesaid, as a shade of the oldsadness fell upon her beautifdl face

' Your motives, dearest, were, and are your ownNot until yonr spirit moves ytu to dj so, shall yougive to'me! I have full confidence in you,beautf >1 Stella!"

"Confidenceoh my God she exclaimed in a low,deep, tmilling voice"Why, what is the matter, dearest V'She looked up suddenly, a smile of worshipping

love, breaking like sunlight over her dark face, andsaid ?

"Nothing, nothing, my lord! but that all yourthoughts and feelings are so elevated beyond yourpoor Estelle's! And yet she would almost chooseit *o ! fjr cculd she be an angel, she would wish youto bn lome hing higher?a god!"

"Sweet enthusiast! moderate your aspirations, orthe world and its people will disappoint you! Benot an idolater; worship only God, myStella."

Such was their meeting !Yet, ocauional y,throughout the interview, a sud-den shadow like the recurrence of a painful thought,would fall upon her bright fees and than pass as itcame.

They were engaged, and within a few days themarriage was announced to take place on tbe first ofMay.

But It was obaetved by tbe nearest friends of thebride, that from the day of her|betrethal, ber spiritshad been marked by the strangest fluctuationsSometimes with her beautiful dark face, illuminedwith a deep, still almost religious jey,she movedabout, as it were, on "winged feet," or sat broodingin a happy trance. At other times, she fell into deepgloom and anxiety, as inexplicable as it was alarm-ing toher friends, wbo greatiy feared her relapse intotbe deep melancholy that had so long overshadowedher, and that they had grown to dread as a seriousoonstitu.ional malady. Buf they hoped everythingfrom her apprteebi»g marriage with the man sheloved. Lord Montressor ofcsarved with the deepestinterest 'be- uncertain moods of his betrothed, butwith tbe high toned sentiments that diatingaishtdbim refrained from inquiring, and awaited har volun-tary revelations.

At last the firtt of May, tba marriage day, uponwhich I have presented tbe parties to the reader, arrivsd. and sll the haut ton, ai I said, were gathered attbe Hall or at the Church to do hjnor to tha solem-nities.

And the expeotant bride, in her bridal robe endveil, waited within ber boudoir the arrival of tbabridegroom, whom she had summoned to a privateinterview before they should proceed to the church.She had not long to wait. He who quicklyrespond-ed to her slighest inclination, Immediatelyobeyedher cell.. Yet when she heard his firm elastic step approachini- -

' Now, God heve mercy on mt!" she prayed, andcovered her faoe with her handsentered, unannounced, and saying,'My beantifei Italia! I am beie, you perceive, by
