The eleventh duke of Galway leaned list
lessly over the dashboard of street car as
he spoke these fateful words in an imperious
tone to the gallant palfrey whose buoyant
| spirits had caused him to shy at an oat which

from his wagon without even muscle of his

car rocked idly at its moorings a cold, cynical
| smile lowered like a last weeks pie around
his finely chiseled lips, and in the azure
depths Of his eyes there was baleful light
that told all too plainly Of some terrible re-
solve-perhaps to go to work. A hen fiut-
tered through the back yard of the castle
Mulcahey, and dead horse threw all the
surrounding harmonies into minor key
Still the horse-car moved not, and Pizarro
was equally motionless From over the
dashboard the duke of Galway cast fierce,
contemptuous glance at the young man, but
he heeded it not. Carl Schurz champed the
bit impatiently, and ever and anon struck
viciously at the earth with his iron-shod
hoof. Brought up on all the luxuries of the
season, including a Kentucky pedigree, the
noble animal would i'll brook restraint, and
| once aroused, his passion was terrible to be-
hold.
AT last tho sound of clear. girlish voice
broke tie silence, and an instant later the
Lady Constance Clancarty, daughter of the
proud duke, emerged from the castle. Shoe
ing with one wave of her hand large flock
of geese from the front yard she walked in a
stately fashion toward the gate beside ~aich
Pizarro was standing. Then, for the Lrs,
time, she saw her fathers street car, and as
her glance fell for an instant on that piratical
craft shudder passed over her lissome form,
and in her eyes there came a startled, fear
haunted look like that with which the fawn
regards the hunter or the dry-goods clerk
wash BILL
But it was too late to retreat, nor, indeed,
had any such idea entered the lady's head
Walking up to Pizarro she looked at him
with a look that spoke only of love, and be-
fore be could tell which foot his corn was on
was walking with him in the direction of the
street car.
Father" said she, stopping directly in
front of the duke, 81 love Pizarro McGin-
ness, and, God willing, will one day be his
bride. Have you aught to say why this
should not be.''
"Divil an aught," was the reply, except
that he is wan av thin joods."
In an instant the blood had left the face Of
Lady Constance and she stood there as
pallid as a marble statue. "Pizarro is not
q dude, father" she said in low, haggard
tones.
"And why not?" queried the duke in
sneering manner
Because" she answered, bursting into a
storm of sobs, 'he has Inherited the family
feet"
