A STORY OF LOVE AND WAR 
by all Druggists, 
CHAPTER I. 
The last loaded wagon came merrily in from 
the field, and the sunburnt gleaners followed in 
its trail to enateh the stray ears of corn from the. 
hedges and brambles that had caught them from 
the great, bungling load that thrust Its abundance 
in their faces as it passed. There was du6t on 
tho middle-aged green of summer, powdered 
thick as flour upon a miller's coat—dust on tho 
new-cut stubble—dust ankle-deep in the rutted 
lane; for the harvest weather had been dry and 
sultry; and this last day especially had been so 
hot that the August sun must have been right 
glad to drop his burning face down into the cool 
shade of Burnside Wood. 
So the last loaded wagon rolled merrily Into 
Squire Fairlight’s rick-yard, aud was received 
therewith a shout of exultation from the assem¬ 
bled laborers; for Squire Fairlight had promised 
that though the land groaned under the weight 
of war taxes, (for this was sixty years ago,) and 
bread was at famine price, wages were high and 
workmen scarce, aud hardly a hamlet or village 
hut had Its widows and orphans to feed—in spite 
of all this, Squire Fairlight had promised that 
his people should have their yearly harvest home, 
and a right jovial one it, should he, too, as a 
thanksgiving for the plentiful harvest which had 
been given to him that year. 
In the rlck-yard 6tood the squire, burly and 
red, ft fine, hearty, old country gentleman, whose 
head never ached from too much learning, hut 
who rode the best hunter, and bred the best 
dogs, and could carry a gun for more hours thau 
any man of his age and weight in the country. 
By his side stood madam, a handsome dame, 
whom folks called “high,” hut then she was of 
the family of Sir John Ambrose, Baronet, and 
had been to Court in her youth, and might he 
pardoned for not being able to bring herself 
down to homely folks quite as easily as the good 
squire, who had been born and bred amongst 
them. 
Madam had come out to please her husband, 
whom she loved very dearly, by seeing the last 
of the bountiful harvest brought in; and as no¬ 
body expected to see her there, least of all her 
gallant 6on, Captain John Fairlight—who, with 
his arm in a sling, wa6 improving his sick fur¬ 
lough hy occasionally recruiting in the neigh¬ 
boring town—she (madam) spoiled some sport, 
and very much damaged her good opinion of 
Lizzie and Anne Rushton, the vicar’s madcap 
daughter and niece, who were lying perdue 
amongst the sheaves of corn on the very top of 
the wagon load. 
How they came there was in this way: they 
found the load ready piled, with the long ladder 
resting against it, and being just then in rollick¬ 
ing spirits—they were hut school-girls of fifteen 
— they thought it good fun to see If they could 
mount to the top, which feat they performed, 
the men being away for supper, but being Been 
by Captain John, who was pasting along the 
road at the end of the cornfield, on his way 
home from Staplestone, he thought it better fun 
still to slip round uuseen and slyly take away 
tho ladder, leaving the girls, between bursts of 
laughter, to supplicate earnestly for release; 
which ho premised on conditions—those condi¬ 
tions being a kiss from each pair of rosy lips, 
and a scarlet poppy from each broad-brimmed 
hat —the last to be worn as trophies in his 
button-hole. 
The foregoing propositions being vehemently 
rejected, the distressed garrison was left to the 
fortune of war, and that fortune brought them 
into the out raged presence of Madam Fairlight 
herself. Madam’s first act was to dismiss her 
son, and then she held the ladder with a good 
deal of stately dignity, whilst the delinquent 
girls descended in penitent sbame-facedness, and 
making tlicir hurried curtsey, retreated in all

Mfsa Travers laughed and blushed aouprotested, 
and called herself awkward names so prettily, 
that Maurice found the bottom of tho ladder 
more attractive than the top. aud the work went 
slowly on; bo slowly, that Mlsfl8 Fairlight, hav¬ 
ing finished her own task, and come to see how 
the others progressed, could not account for ao 
little being finished, and rated poor innocent 
Angela for the Eatne; which, perhaps, was the 
reason why Angela lound her dislike to Miss 
Travers very much increased hy dinner-time, 
notwithstanding that that young lady patronized 
her immensely, calling her “ little darling,” and 
offering to dress her in the new mode, aud even 
proposing to lend her all sorts of fashionable 
finery lor the evening. 
Angela steadily ( Miss Fairlight declared ab¬ 
ruptly) declined all these offers; but Miss Trav¬ 
ers, not at all abashed thereby, linked her arm 
in the “little darling’s’ 1 on their being sum¬ 
moned to tho house by tho dinner-bell, and 
made the most good-natured efforts to propitiate 
the inexorable damsel. For Angela was the 
only member - of the Fairlight circle who hud re¬ 
sisted the fascinations of the new guest; and as 
Miss Travers loved popularity, and hated to be 
resisted, she was piqued into extrting herself 
to make her conquest of the family complete. 
All in vain, however; Angela held out firmly 
and Miss Travers soon had work enough on 
hospitable and sociable leenngs, yci recognizing 
all the time the hopelessness of the attempt

Madam’s indignation was in its first llnsh, 
when there appeared, through the gate which 
opened on to the rick-yard from the park, a 
young man walking quickly towards her. lie 
was tall and handsome; his dress indicated more 
familiarity with city file than with the careless 
deshabille of country habits; his complexion told 
of more sedentary occupation than did the 
brown, sunburnt cheek of the squire. This 
young man was Maurice Rushton, the vicat’s 
son, who had left home six months ago to spend 
the greater part of the year in scholarly prepara¬ 
tion^ at Oxford. He doffed his hat as he ap¬ 
proached Madam Fairlight. 
“I am come,” said he, “to announce to yon 
the arrival of a guest. The stage has just set 
down a young lady with whom X have had the 
honor of traveling from London. She is at the 
lodge, where she chose to remain until you were 
apprised of her arrival.” 
“Thank yon, Mr. Maurice,” returned madam, 
gathering up her skirts to cross the yard; “ it 
must be Miss Katharine Travers, a school friend 
of my daughters, whom wc expected to nay 
them a visit; but we did not understand that

There was work enough for everybody on the 
morrow, from the cook and scullions in the 
kitchen up to madam herself in the parlor. 
Upon madam’s face, usnally so calm and digni¬ 
fied, there was a heavy cloud, nobody knew 
why. Onlv Captain John could Lave told, but 
then Captain John was miles and miles away. 
Last night, within an hour of Miss Travers’ arri¬ 
val, and before he had even set eyes on that 
young lady, he had called for liis horse and rid¬ 
den away,'never saying where he was going, or 
when he would return. Only his mother knew 
that this sudden departure was in consequence 
of the reprimand she had administered to him 
for having caused Lizzie and Anne Rushton to 
appear In so improper a position, and that lor 
the due punishment of their iight conduct those 
young ladies should be requested to consider
