about a fortnight the paroxysms inter-

body was his nurse; everybody, includ-

Fitzroy was never mentioned, and the
name of BARLEY religiously avoided.
The Colonel had got fright. and was
more prudent in his diet, and always in
the open air.
Walter left him only at odd times,
when he could hope to get hasty word
with Mary, and tell her how things were
going, and do all that man could do to

the present situation.

matter. He said: walter, you heard
me speak of Bell, the counsel who leads
this circuit. l was once so fortunate as
to do him good turn, and he has not
forgotten it; he will sleep here the day
after tomorrow, and he will go over
that blackguard's lease; he has been in
plenty of mining cases. 1 have got a
sort of half opinion out of him already;
he thinks it contrary to the equity Of
contracts that minerals should pass un-
der farm lease where the surface of
the soil is just equivalent to the yearly
payment; but the old fox won't speak
positively till he has read every syllable
Of the lease. However, it stands to rea-
son that it's fraud; it comes from a
man who is all fraud; but thank God !
am myself again."
He started up erect as dart. "I'll
have him off my lands; I'll drag him out
of the bowels of the earth, him and all
his clan."
With this and other threats of the
same character he marched out Of the
room, striking the floor hard with his
stick as he went, and left Julia Clifford
amazed, and Walter Clifford aghast, al
his vindictive fury.

about, they only spoke few words at

love.

ed Mrs. Easton. with signs of hurry.
