Duval looked at him with a savage
glare of his keen dark eyes, and slowly,
in q deep voice trembling suppressed
rage, said:
~ gu had better not"
Duval, said his wife, gently pulling
him by the sleeve,and in tone of mingl-
ed pathos and humility, ''never mind the
gentleman. We shouldn't have come in
without his leave. We humbly ask your
pardon, sir. Come, Duval, let us CO."
Take your wife's advice, my man.
said the gamekeeper, ''and don't come
into gentlemen's parks no mere till such
times Sas you're invited. There now:
gather up your forgery and get out"
While Martha and the gamekeeper had
been speaking Duval's eyes remained
riveted on Sir Williams, The baronet
had dared to threaten him with a blow
of that whip with which he was wont to
chastise. dogs. Duval would. have died
sooner than endure such degradation,
and he felt half inclined to spring upon
Sir William as it was, and show him that
when it comes to close fighting between
man and man, wealth and rank make no
difference in pride of manhood OF
strength of sllntb. Sir William saw the
fierce spirit that was struggling in the ac-
robat's breast. He felt that he could not
bear the steady gaze he. fixed on him
and that his proud and over bearing an
ture had met his match: HIS blood
boiled with rage. rs h fis=a
"Impudent villian' he at last ex-
claimed, stamping on the ground, 'sdo
you dare to beard mi, to browbeat me with
your insolate look? Take that So, =
And, lifting his arm, he brought down
his whip with a thud~ on the acrobat's
back that could be heard as far off as the
Lodge.
Mad with rage, frenzied with insult,
Duval, with a tiger spring, rushed at the
baronet, and dearly would Sir William
have paid for his rash act if the acrobat
could only have had one blow at him de-
livered with the prodigious strength of
his muscular arm and broad shoulders.
But, as Duval rushed forward, Leo. one
Of the noblests hounds in Sir Williams
kennel, which had for some time watch
ed the parley between his master and
tDuval with grave, sedate3 face, sprang up
on the acrobat and intercepted his attack.
Meanwhile two under gamekeepers had
arrived. And Lady Windus, from her
bedroom easement, saw the struggle be-
tween the man and the dog. and wonder
ed what it all could be about. 'ss
"Down, Leo, down." cried Sir Will
liam, and the dog sprang away from the
man and sat down by his masters side.
. g Now put him out" said the baronet,
as he turned away ana walked off toward
the hall.
"It's no use making any more fuss
about it," said the good -natured game
keeper, as Duval srrang upon his fee:,
his face and hands covered with dust and
blood. You were wrong in The begin
ming. Be advised, and go your way
quietly"
IN And Duval was advised, the more cas-
lily because of the appealing look his wife
gave him as she gently wiped the blood
from his face. He flung his box ence
more. over his shoulders. and walked
slowly toward the gate. He passed
through il, closed il, and then, pausing,
he clencfled his hand, and, lifting up
towards Heaven, cried out, in the agony
of his hearth { FE %T~f + q.
MY God, I only ask this favor of Thee
that may one day be revengedl"
SO he and hisswife resume their Jour
ney.
Presently pony. chaise, driven by a Ia
dy, was heard behind them when it came
close tothem. the lady drew up, and asked
them, with slight agitation, the way to
Natwich; then asked Martha whether the
infant she carried was boy or q girl,
looked at it, kissed it, dropped a sover-
eign into Martha's hand, and suddenly
drove off. It was Lady Windus.
CHAPTER II.
Two years past, and beautiful lady
reclined upon sofa in large and rich
ly furnished& drawing room of a country
mansion, every thing about which betok-
ened the great wealth of the proprietor
who sat by the window, patting the head
of a noble mast1f, which every now and
then looked up at its master, and gave a
bark, as If to ask what he could do for
him. There was not much that dog or
man could do for the wealthy owner OF
Windus Park, for time had lavished on
him all her favors ancient descent, great
wealth, a beautiful wife, and two promis-
ing children. Well might Sir William
be proud.
Suddenly the luxurious silence of. the
room was disturbed by aloud clamor in
the hall, in which questions were heard
rapidly put 10y some one in an agitated
voice: "Where is my lady? Where is ST,
William?'' and the next moment Emily
