CHAPTER III.

IdE TAfEh ID SlGNEO.
Twilight was gently stealing over the
earth, as cavalier, wrapped in cloak,
and wearing his hat far over his brows,
sauntered slowly. down Cheapside. He
paused q moment in front of dilapidated
old building, which seemed uninhabited.
Such was not the case, for as the cavalier
fingered. lovely girl appeared at a side
window. and greeted him with a smile Of
recognition.
He Instantly approached her. thrust
small note into her hand, and then walked
on. After going hundred yards or so,
he turned and retraced his steps. The
girl retired from the window to read the
note, but re-appeared as he returned, and
in answer to his inquiring glance, nodded
her head affirmatively.
ssYes!" exclaimed the cavalier joyous.
ly. "Fortune be praised, she consents. :"
He kissed his hand TO her, as if in thanks;
the action removed his hat and disclos-
ed his face. The cavalier was Richard
Wright. =
A week had passed since his encounter
with Mordaunt The day following that
might, he had returned to Cheapside in
search of the face which had bewitched
him. He had been successful. He saw
her again, and succeeded in winning a
smile from her. For the last six days they
had carried on an acquaintanceship OF
looks and smiles, AT last he had ventur-
ed to write note, requesting her to meet
him when the moon rose. in. the small
garden attached to her dwelling, and as
weshave seen, she consented.
Two hours later. when the orb Of night
was slowly ascending the Heavens, Rich

Three weeks after these tragical scenes,
happy group was assembled in the old
hall OF Elmbury. First was the lady her.
self, with the hue of health restored to her
cheeks, smiling in calm content, then her
Adela. (no longer Agnes.) and Richard,
as they sat side by side.
Adela had promised her hand to the
young cavalier, and another week will see
them united; and Richard, then, in right
of his wife, becomes Lord Of Elmbury.

CHAPTER II.
THE LONE HOUSE IN cHEApsIDE.

THE LONE HOUSE IN CHEAPsIDE.
Mordaunt continued his rapid pace un
til he turned into Cheapside; then, stop
ping before dingy, dilapidated old house.
he knocked twice at the door After wait
ing few moments it was opened to him
and he entered. He followed the person.
who admitted him into low-studded, dis.
mal-looking apartment.
The furniture of this room was very
scanty, consisting OF a rough pine table,
three ricketty chairs, and low bedstead,
in the corner. Mordaunt threw himself
heavily into one of the chairs and remov.
ed the hat from his brows. His compan-
ion. vilianous looking old man, placing
the lamp which he held in his hand, upon
the table, also seated himself. By its
beams, you can now distinguish the fea-
tures.of lMordaunt ,f5hvsI
His age could not have been much over
forty years, to Judge by his black hair, un-
tinged by particle of gray, which he
wore in flowing ringlets upon his should
ers, according to the fashion of the period.
His face was eminen1y handsome, though
his eyes we're deeply set in his head and
bore malignant expression; yet it was
plain, from casual glance, that Mordaunt.
when it pleased his will, could play the
high-bred gentleman with courtly ease.
"You are late, tonight, Mordaunt,' y
said his companion, in croaking. dis
agreeable tone of voice.
| "Yes, Jacob; was waylaid by thieves
as / passed through the lane, and should
have lost my life but for the timely assist
ance Of a young gentleman who heard
my cries and came to the rescue."
| "You should be more cautious. Who
was your preserver-did you know him?''
"Aye, Jacob, too well; and though he
saved my life, had rather, the fend him.

"His coming is unlucky. He loved his

property will pass to him, that is, unless

Mordaunt placed q strange emphasis
upon the last two words, and sinister

to it, though he answered in a common
