months. And had he, all this time, thought
Iof Kate? Often; for he was not adamant !;
and vision of her beauty and spirit, as she
braved and heape1 scorn on her mean foes
on the last occasion he saw her, haunted him
day and night. Despite himself, he cher
Iished a warm attachment for her; but then
her con ounded name-kate-why,w when
he thought of it, he felt inclined to give his
folly the coup de grace; but love of life was
stronger, and itprevaied. Sorrow and pun
ilshment humble Lhe proudest dispositions :;
and III those moments when he thought more
like man than the ounger son OF a peer,
he would have given the world, if he had
possessed it, to have been reconci,ed to So
!ciety and to the wife of his bosom. A mel
ancho!y began to prey upon him and he was
rapidly becoming misanthropic. Ore day,
while muslng over the past in the gloomy
chamber his limited resources only allowed
him to occupy, a stout, good humored 10 *
ing old gentleman presented himself, and in
a brusque manner babe him look up, for he
was not so friendless as he deserved. Reg
IinaId stared, and demanded his name and
business.
Chow much will it take to get you out of
this cursed place." inquired his visitor,
bluntly.
"Are you authorized by-by"--the name
Iot his family trembled on his tongue, but he
was unable to utter it.
"By the best friends you have, the very
best!'' cried the old gentleman, evidently
pleased, as he surveyed the fine manly fig
ure and very handsome face of the prisoner.
"Cannot you etford me a clue. -
Mot at present; my authority only ex-
tends to your release, and that Immediately"
Reginald persisted, but it was useless; and
at length he named the probable amount for
which he was dc e.ained. The old gentleman
made memorandum in his pocket book,
and then hastily took his leave. In few
hours afterwards he returned to announce
that all the arrangements for Reginald's re-
lease had been completed. This time the
old gentleman was accompanied by fine
little boy-a dark eyed, black haired, beau
t(ul little felow-about four years of age.
While some necessary formalites were being
gone tlnbugh, Reginald toyed with him, and
inquired his name.
"RegmaId!' promptly answered the boy.
Lord Percy started, and peered curiousl
in his face. As be did so, strange but not
unpleasant sensation stole over him; and
with an almost parental gesture he drew the
boy closer him. The old man approached
to congratulate him upon his freedom, when
Reginald, in very husky voice, demanded
to know to whom he should offer his heart
felt acknowledgements.
"Let those who do good be rewarded in
person, said the old man, ncrvouSIy; and
going to the door, he opened it and admitted
lady, dressed in black, but closely veiled.
She was evidently young, for her figure APP
peared remarkably graceful and elegant.
"Madam!" stammered Reginald, growing
deadly pale.
At the sound of his voice the lady flung
aside her veil; and throwing herself at his
feet, exclaimed:
"Rcylnald! dear Reginald! do not cast me
off; am your wife, and this is your boy
Our boy. See, he has your eyes, your hair
the same noble features as yourselfp'
Kate, as she made this tender appeal,
looked him beseechingly in the face He
returned the gaze; and as he pcrused the
lincaments of that lovely and dearly remem-
bcred countenauce, soft thrill pervadcd
his frame, and in accents rendered musical
I by the deepest emotion, he uttered lowly but
distinctly:
"My wife-my own fondly beloved wife
let us live for the fulure--for ourselves,
our child"
Kate threw herself on his bosom, and
.wept long; but they were sweet tears of re-
cancellation, of hope, of love. The old man,
who was no other than her uncle found his
leyes moistening, and in LhgfullneSs of his
heart extended his hand, which Reginald
warmly graspcd. The reunion of the long
estranged was fully completed; and "KAte' $
husband" finally conducted her to a splen-
did home, but not portionleSs; for, outof the
profits derived from general grocery line, y
her uncle literally and could well afford 10
give her marriage portion of hundred
thousand pounds. .....
