uttered Selma Dalrymple, clasping her
hands.
Perhaps the better way to end 1t
will be for me to show myself" said
Charles.
Eyes, yes" eagerly acquiesced Farm
er Lee: ''let US 60 in, all in body.
Mr.. Charles, I wish we had a good
painter here to take down the looks
when you discover yourself

Grange. L am sorry, for your sake,

Il am glad interrupted Sclina-.'so

The cOnstables We're standing in the
hail, ready to act, whilst the men
urged that they had done nothing to
be took up for; they had only come to
speak to Mr.. Dalrymple, and they

You break the law when you use

We haven't used no threats: we

| lodge under the wind and rain, or
| whether he'll find Us roofs to put our

Il can no longer make room for you
on my ground, either as tenants or

there JUSTICE? Hands off MIR. Consta-
BILE. I'm doing nothing yet.
| Yes, there is Justice interrupted
a voice which thrilled through the very
I marrow of Oscar Dalrymple as Charles
| advanced and took his place by the
side of the Hon. Mr.. Cleveland, who
started back in positive fright. 'Os-
car. you know me, l see; gentlemen,
| some of you know me; | am Charles
| Dalrymple, and have returned to claim
my own"
/ Was it a specter from the grave?
Many of them looked as if they feared
so; and Oscar Dalrymple's impossible
face was moved now to a face of rage
and horror. as he gradually backed
against the wall behind him.
4 find you have all thought me
dead" proceeded Charles, whilst Mr..
| Cleveland seized upon him, and signs
of awakening recognition and de-
| light arose on various countenances,
..but 1 am not dead, and | never have
been; | have simply been abroad. |

friends, and was afraid to stay in my

The faces would have been Il group
for David Wilkie; pity, as Farmer
Lee said, that one was not there.
''Of course the Grange has been
mine throughout went on Charles,
land my brother-in-law has not been
the legal owner; consequently, what
ever acts he may have ordered,
performed or sanctioned, relating to
the estate, are null and void.
He's the squirrel" burst forth the
room; ''our own young squire's come
home again. and our troubles are
over! Good luck to the ship that
brought him!'
Charles laughed and turned to his
poor dependents. Eyes, your troubles
shall be over. | hear that there has
been dissatisfaction; and, perhaps, OPP
preston. | can only say that | will
set every thing to rights; those tenants
who have received notice to quit may
burn it. and those who have been act

"But dear good young master"
called out Dyke. in Responding voice,
''the roofs be all off ourn, and the walls
pretty well leveled with the ground -
Il will build them up again for You,
Dyke, stronger than ever, said Charles,
heartily; there S my hand upon 1t. Con-
stables, | think you will not be wanted
here
Not only Dyke, but the whole multi
tude, en- nldSse, pressed forward to
clasp Charles Dalrymple's hands; and
so hard and earnest were the pressures,

cry for quarter.

vince me that it is not an impostor?'
Il can certify thatit is really Charles
Dalrymple,' said Mr.. Cleveland, with
suppressed smile; "he is not SO
changed as to render recognition I'M
certain. There's no installing his
handsome face
Il can certify that it is my dear lost
son. added Mrs. Dalrymple, through
her tears.
