CHAPTER LIL.

(Continued. )

/ ‘Oh, man, man!’ cried Robert Penfold,

‘you ask more of me than flesh and blood

oe bear. Whatshall l say? What shall I Of

Helen replied, calmly, ‘Take my hand, and let.us die together, since we cannot live together in honor.’

General Rolleston groaned, ‘For then, I jhave traversed one ocean, and another, and found my child. Iam noth- ing to her--nothing. Oh, who would be a father!’ He sat down oppressed with shame and grief, and bowed his stately head in manly but pathetic silence.

‘Oh, papa, papa!’ cried Helen, ‘forgive your ungrateful child!’ And she kneeled and sobbed, with her fo:ehead on his knees.

Then Robert Penfold, in the midst of his own agony, found room in that great suffer- ing heart of his for pity. He knelt down himself, and prayed for help in this bitter trial. Herose haggard with the s‘ruggle, but languid and resigned, lke cne whose death-warrant has been read.

‘Sir,’ said he, ‘there is but one way. You must take her home; and I shall stay here.’

‘Leave you all alone on this island!’ said Helen, ‘Never! If you stay here, I shall stay to comfort you.’ ‘I decline that offer. reach of comfort.’

‘Think what you do, Robert,’ said Helen,

with unnatural calmness. ‘If you have no pity on yourself, have pity on us. Would you rob me of the very life you have taken such pains to save? My poor father will carry nothing to England but my dead body. Long before we reach that country I loved so well, and now hate for its stu- pidity and cruelty to you, my soul will have flown back to this island to watch over you, Robert. You bid me to abandon you to solitude and despair. Neither of you two love me half as much as I love you both,’ General Rolleston signed deeply. ‘If I thought that——”’ said he. Then, in a faint voice, ‘My own courage fails me now. I look into my heart, and | see that my child’s life is dearer to me than all the world. She was dring, they say. Suppose Isend Moreland to the Continent fora clergymen, and marry you? Then you can live on this island forever. Only you must let me live here, too, for I could never show my face again in England after acting so dishonorably, It will be a miserable end of a life passed in honor; but I suppose it will not be for long. Shame can kill as quickly as disappointed love.’

‘Robert, Robert!’ cried Helen, in agony.

The martyr saw that he was master of the situation, and must be either base vr very noble—there was no middle way. He leaned his head on his hands, and thought with all his might.

‘Hush’ said Helen; ‘he is wiser than we are. Let him speak.’

‘ff I thought you would pine and die on the voyage, no power should part us. But you are not such a coward. If my life depended upon yours would you not live?’

‘You know I would.’

‘When I was wrecked on White Water Island, you played the man. Not one woman in a thousand could have launched a boat, and sailed her with a boat-hook for a mast, and ;

Helen interrupted him, ‘It was nothing. I loved you. I love you better now.’

‘I believe it, and therefore I ask you to rise above your sex once more, and play the man for me. This time it is not my life you are to rescue, but what is more precious still; my good name.’

‘Ah! that would be worth living for,’ cried Helen.

‘You will find it very hard to do; but not harder than to sail'a boat without a mast. See my father, Michael Penfold. See Undereliff, the expert. See the Sol- icitor, the counsel. Sift the whole story; and above all, find out why Arthur Wardlaw dared not enter the wit- ness-box. Be obstinate as a man; be supple as a woman; and don’t talk of dying when there is a friend to be rescued from dishonor by living and working.

‘Die ! while Ican rescue you from death or dishonor! I will not beso base. Ah, Robert, Robert, how well you know me!’

‘Yes, 1do know you, Helen. I believe that great soul of yours will keep your body strong to do this brave work for him you love, and who loves you. And as for me, I am man enough to live for years upon this island, if you will only promise me two things.’

‘I promise, then.’

‘Never to die, and never to marry Arthur Wardlaw, until you have reversed ‘that lying sentence which has blasted me. ‘Lay your hand on your father’s head, and | promise me that.’ | Helen laid her hand upon her father’s head, and said: ‘I pledge my honor not to \die, if life is possible, and never to marry any man, until I have reversed that lying

sentence which has blasted the angel 1 love.’ | ‘And I pledge myself to help her,’ said ‘General Rolleston, warmly, ‘tor now | know you are a man of honor, I have too often beep deceived by elequence to listen to that. But now you have proved by your actions what you are. You passa forges’ check, knowing it to be forged! Id stake my salvation it’s a lie. There’s my hana God comfort you!

| courage to take them down to the boat. Then he came back, and the General took the bag to the boat.

All this time the girl herself sat wringing lfer hands in anguish, and not a tear. It was beyond that now.

As he passed Robert, the General said ‘*Take leave of her alone. I will come for her in five minutes. You see how sure I feel you are a man of honor.’

When Robert went in, she rose and tot- tered to him, and fell on his neck. She saw it was the death bed of their love, and she kissed his eyes, and clung to him, They moaned over each other, and clung to each other in mute despair.

The General came back, and he and

As the boat put off, she awoke from her stupor, and put out her hands to Robert with one piercing cry.

They were parted.

“Christ on Calvary.”

DESCRIPTION OF THE NEW PICTURE BY MUN- KACZY TO BE EXHIBITED IN PARIS,

The subject of Munkaczy’s new picture is ‘Christ on Calvary,” The solemn and touching picture, says the Paris correspon- dent of the London Times, which will be exhibited at’ Easter, will certainly pro- duce as great an impression in the artistic world as his ‘Christ before Pilate.” The two pictures will be exhibited alongside each other, and the public will be able to follow the sequence of the master’s artistic thought. The figure of Christ on Calvary is slightly larger than that of Christ before Pilate.

The painter depicts the scene where the Saviour has just expired. The sky is black with clouds and streaked with lightning, and beyond the horizon at Jerusalem the veil of the Temple is seen, rent and twain. Jesus Christ, pale in death, and clinging forward, has given up the ghost. The cen- turion has dropped in terror beside the cross. Mary, the mother, on her knees, is bathing in tears her son’s feet. Mary Mag- dalene, her golden hair hanging loosely over her shoulders, her face in her hands, is also on her knees before the cross. John, overwhelmed with grief, is on the other side, and a Jewish woman looks on, a sad spectator of the Crucifixion.

The terrified crowd is descending the hill. Some Roman cavalry look on asham- ed. One of the executioners, a man of brutal mien, shouldering the ladder and axe in hand, is carried along by the multi- tude. The three crosses are in the fore- ground at the right extremity, and the rest of the immense canvas is filled by the flee- ing multitude. The sky is magnificent and sombre, and the lighining illuminates the dark clouds that hang over the mountains, the valleys and the scarcely visible town. One seas, amid the confused movement of the crowd, that it is bewildered and terror- stricken. The group at the foot of the cross isa wonderful beauty and feeling, and the general color is harmonious and striking to a degree which even Munkaczy himself has never before attained. The picture is certainly one of the most perfect which have been produced for many a year, combining all the majesty of the classic schools with the modern and personal stamp that marks it of the nineteenth century.

A Sad Scene. The Rev. James Jones, curate of St, Catherine’s Church, Ventuor, having been appointed to a curacy at Birmingham, was to have preached a farewell sermon on a recent Sunday evening, and a very large congregation assembled to hear him. The vicar in charge, the Rev. J. W. Willan, not liking that the presence of so many people should testify to the popularity of the curate, showed signs of great the keys of the

anger, shouted for vestry, and tried to lock the door to prevent more people from entering.

He then went into the vestry, gesticulat- ing in an extraordinary manner, ard told the curate that he had sold his soul like Judas for thirty pieces of silver, to popu- larity, and otherwise insuited Mr. Jones, who left the church. Nearly the whole of the congregation also left.. Mr. Willan proceeded with the service, but announced that as he had not prepared a sermon there would not be one. Mr. Jones had promised to lead off the Psalas, but in his absence this was done by by Mr. Petherick, the organist. Mr. Willan immediately shouted Cown the church, ‘‘Petherick, shut up.” When Mr. Willan left the church he was greeted with groans and hisses by a large crowd, who followed him to the vicarage, where he arrived safely under the protection of three constables. When inside his own grounds, Mr. Willan waved his hat, and sheuted to those outside, ‘Such is religion.” The crowd replied, ‘‘Such is hypocrisy.” The conduct of the vicar in charge will immediately be brought to the notice of the Bishop of Winchester. bo ial etptntlipintnincitinns
