or executed it, he had not the faintest idea.
'No one can nurse her like my mother,
who has been the only mother she has ever
known" he muttered as he lifted the fair
girl tenderly in his arms, and carried her
out of the vault into the open air, and to
the boat
How he accomplished that journey
through the snow-storm he never rightly
knew; but when he was obliged to leave
the boat as the river would have taken him
out of his way beyond certain point, he
bribed homeless tramp whom he found
taking shelter in the deserted boat-house to
help him carry CHS brother, who, he said,
chad met with an accident, to the shed
where he had left his cob and ph9ton.
He placed Kate in the carriage, and
thus the tramp only. saw an inanimatc
figure wrapped in a brown ulster.
And the man, when the task was com
pleted, went on his way, glad of the handful
of silver given him for his pains, and, as
day after day took him farther away from
this part of the country, he never heard OF
the strange disappearance of Kate Lllburne,
and even had he done so, he would proba-
bly, have failed to connect it with the piece
of good fortune that had befallen him this
bitter night
Frank reused his mother to attend the
unconscious girl Mrs. Fairfield's face was
white and stern as she angrily asked
"What have you done to her? Is she
dead p
"God only knows" he replied dejectedly;
'but l have done her no harm. [ have
saved her from certain death if she is not
already dead
'Go for the doctor, and don't come back
without him
Her words were brief; her son might
tell her what story he liked, she had al
ready formed her own conclusion, and she
mentally resolved that if Kate Lilburne
died she should not in any way shield her
son from the consequences of this nights
work.

CHARTER VII.
THROUGH THE SNOW,


We must go back to the night when
Kate Lilburne so mysteriously disappeared.
1t will be remembered that the snow be-
gan to fall only very short time before
she was persuaded to go with her sister and
hide
The snow mis- ht be a very seasonable
visitor on Christmas night, but the servants
at Silverton Castle took very good care to
close every door carefully against it, and
there was consequently no danger of any
solitary watcher outside the mansion being
observed.
Indeed, with so much free handed hos
pitality inside the mansion, and such a
warm welcome extended alike to rich and
poor, it would naturally besupposed that no
man in his senses would have wandered
like an unquiet spirit round the building
when he could take shelter from the cold
white fakes of snow, and from the biting
blast by the side of glowing fire, and
solace his inner man with an abundance of
Christmas cheer.
Despite the folly Of such proceeding,
however, man, wearing thick ulster,
and judging from his appearance well-to-do
in the world, certainly was lettering outside
the castle on this eventful night.
If you could have looked well at his
face, you would have seen that he was Young
and handsome, and you would probably
also have observed that he was nervous and
i'll at case, as though he knew he was doing
something of which he was more than half
ashamed. He seems doubtful now as to
The Democratic advocate. [volume] (Westminster, Md.) 1865-1972, 1885-12-26
CHAPTER TX.

The anxiety and grief that succeeded
Franks rescue of Kate from the vault to
which her sister had consigned her, had
blanched the young mans hair and aged
him as by the lapse of many years.
Previous to this event he had not lived
in his mothers cottage, though when in
England he frequently went to see her, but
now, though it was torture for him to 90
there often, he could not keep away for
more than few days at time
There was no improvement in Kate S
mental condition; at any day he might be
obliged to leave England on the business
of the firm in which he was partner, and
in view of such contingency he was try
ing to make up his mind to brave all con-
sequences, go to Mr., Lilburne, and make a
full confession of his share in Hates alb
duction, when, fortunately for him, Roland
Ayre visited him at his office as already
described.
But Frank was convinced that he must
be more than usually cautious. Kate was
to be considered, and he resolved that un-
til he had thought the matter over and
taken counsel with his mother, it would be
best to learn all he could and say as little
as possible.
The consequence of this course of con-
duct we know.
And now we must return to Mrs. Fair
fields cottage, where, it will be remem-
bered, Roland Ayre was very unwillingly
following Kate's former nurse into an inner
he 70 hoofo,, 70 Gilro,Io,,
Castle and make Grace confess what she
had done with her sister, making him i'm
patient of moments delay.
This back sitting-room was larger than
the one in which he had been received, it
was better furnished too, and the window
looked out upon large garden thickly
planted with fruit trees.
A work-basket with pretty bright pieces
of silk and wool and feminine fancy-work
lay temptingly upon small table, but its
contents were untouched, bright fire with
guard over it burned in the CRATE, and
near it in low easy-chair, with her hands
clasped listlessly upon her knee, sat Kate
Lilburne.
Roland recognised her in an instant,
though he was dimly conscious of some
great change having taken place in the
woman he loved, and he sprang forward
exclaiming
'Kate, my darling, | have found you at
last p
But she never rose to meet his embrace;
she barely glanced at him, but sat motion
less with her eyes fixed vacantly upon the fire
A cold chill seemed to strike Roland to
the heart, and he turned in questioning
dismay to Mrs. Fairfield, who stood sadly
looking on.
Wont you speak to Mr.. Ayre, Katie
darlingY she asked in a tone she might
have used to willful child, 'speak to him,
dearie, and tell him you viii let him take
you back to your father and to Grace.
The Democratic advocate. [volume] (Westminster, Md.) 1865-1972, 1885-12-26

some one, but if so he was disappointed;
there was not single sign of anybody
having been in the room save the woman
to whom it belonged
II have told Mr.. Ayre that you could
probably help him in tracing Miss Kate" "
said Fairfield when they were all seated;
''but perhaps it will be as well if he tells
you first how Kate disappeared and what
steps have been taken to find her; you will
then be better able to connect his part of
the story with the little you know.
Roland almost fumed with Impotence.
He did not want to go over the old ground
again, he wanted to know without delay
what they could tell him.
But Mrs. Fairfield, though very polite,
was likewise very firm.
Moreover, she was suspicious.
Yes, she was suspicious even of her own
son, aud as Roland, finding no escape, be-
gan to tell the story of that Christmas night
over again, she more than once interrupted
him with questions.
"And when the search was being made
you heard nothing about any false floor in
the west turret, did your asked Mrs.
Fairfield with searching glance.
Certainly not; is there such a thing
he asked eagerly.
"There was formerly-at least, so [ hear
from my son-though [ never heard of it
in all the years | lived at the castle, and L
don't think Mr.. Lilburne himself knew of
it; but Frank asserts that Miss Grace did"
Grace exclaimed his lordship in sud
den dismay, are you sure she knew Of it Z
Il am quite sure" here interposed the
young engineer, ''for | once showed it to
her, and threatened to throw her into the
shaft below. OF course l only meant to
frighten her, but she was always getting
me into scrapes with her deceitful tongue,
and | thought I would put stop to it. .
Roland pressed his hands over his burn
ing brows.
He remembered now how Grace had in
duced her sister to hide, and how she had
afterwards denied all knowledge of her
whereabouts.
Yes, it all came back to his memory
now. even to the dust and dirt which he had
noticed on her white satin dress, and to
which he had called her attention.
At length he started to his feet, exclaim-
ing:
s'Let us 90 to Silverton Castle at once;
there is not moment to be lost. That
infamous girl may be starving her sister to
death; quick-quick, Or we may be toolate. "
But Mrs. Fairfield said calmly as she also
rose to her feet:
ave will go in good time, Mr.. Ayre,
but if [ help you, you must help me, and
| have matter here that troubles me as
much as Kate Lilburne's disappearance
troubles you. Will you come this way,
and tell me what it is best for me to do =
And she was leading the way to door
that opened into another room when Ro-
land exclaimed
Il will do anything you require when
Kate is once found, but [ must go to Sill
verton Castle without delay"
And he was turning towards the oppo
site door, the one by which he had entered
when he was arrested by Mrs. Fairfield S
calm sad voice saying:
at is useless your going to Silvertor
Castle without me, and you must give mt
your advice at once. Come"
Then she led the way into the further
room, and he, after momentary hesita
ton, followed her.

CHAPTER X.

Some time had elapsed before Roland
Ayre could engage the services of very
celebrated doctor, who had already perform
ed several successful operations of kind
similar to that which alone could restore
Kate Lilburne's reason.
The injury which had reduced Kate
Lilburne to condition little better than
that of idiocy was, as we know, caused by
her fall, the skull being fractured.
A piece of the skull was pressing upon
the brain, and only by relieving this pres
sure could the organ of reason be made
more capable of actingin natural manner.
The danger was very great, and mrs.
Fairfield over and over again entreated that
Mrs Lilburne should be consulted before
such terrible risk was incurred.
But Roland's argument was that to 90
as the nurse wished would be to give MN
unnecessary anxiety and pain without 40
inc his daughter one particle of good wnile
the accounts which he indirectly op1alpeu
from Silverton Castle described Mr.. Lll-
burne as generally uncheerful and resigned,
though sometimes sad and anxious at the
certainty of his daughters fate
aHer father would not hesitate for
moment, he said confidently; "and wish
to spare him the terrible dread of failure
that haunts me day and night.

We first met in Springfield, Mass.
That was before the General had passed
away. He was member Of our little
company during the two seasons and
was a warm friend OF the Generals.
After the death of the General in July,
1883, he wrote me beautiful letter of
coincidence, and we frequently met
thereafter in our travels through the
country. learned to look upon him
almost as a brother. We met last Fall
in Baltimore, Count Magri having OBJ
tanned an engagement at the same place

than 500, 900. Count Magri. who is at
present in Milwaukee, is one inch and
quarter taller than the wealthy widow

known to ladies there the great value of Mrs
Pnkham's Vegetable Compound, as a cure
for their troubles and diseases. She writes
as follows: "A young lady of this city while
bathing some years ago was thrown violently
against the life line and the injuries received
resulted in al ovarian tum,r which grew and
enlarged until death seemed certain. Her
physician finally advised her to try Mrs.

short time the tumor was dissolved or caus-
