power in the household, and in spite of all
Lady Isabella could do to deposs her, the
man turned out to be fOreiguer-a dark,
sallow, sinister-lOoking individual; but for
all that, Deborah declared, "as like my
lady as two peas" and in high
favor, too, with his mistress, from
whose lips he received his orders
every 6sy, though from his fellow
servants hs got nothing but scant cour-
tesy and sidelong glsnces of suspicion.
What msggot Yves this" they asked each
other, THAT must needs set garlic-ea,ing,

enOw? Mark my words" with mary q
mysterious wag of the head on the part of
the speaker, something will come OF, ana
with such an Outlsndish and hsatheuisa
name, too, as Miguel-when plain Mcn-
sel served the purpose of his bettersl'
And something did come of it, fer the
new groom had not been in Office full
month when TIE young heir of Maddon
was thrown from his pony one day and
brought home stunned and seuseless. Red
ROllo had taken fright al the stump of a
ties or store in the road the man ex-
planned in his broken English, with his
eyes fixed on his mistress's stony features,
while Sir Sir Hugh hung in speeches. an
guish over his sons inanimate form. But
the boy, on tbs application of restoraiiyes,
soon revived, aud proved the superior
hardness OF mis- British skull TO that o. the
average country road; and the Lady 49,
bella with old DebO-ah's keen, watchfGl
suspicious glance fixed upon her, smiled q
pale, CHASTITY smile as he opened his eyes
and locked about him; and then turning
aside, she bid her facs 10 her lace hanGker-
chief. Kindly Sir Hugh, touched by 90
much emotion shown on behalf o. one who
was ros of her own flesh snd blood, spoke
cheering words to her, and babe her dry
her tears, ''for the young rascal would yet
live to lord it at the Court"
Her maid, afterward sent to search for
thu handkerchief which her mistress had
dropped, expressed her surprise 10 DsbOgah
st fading il with its cObweb lace and filmy
cambria all torn aud Jagged 90 though some
wild animal or "bOggaIt" had bitten and
rent it in pieces.
Red Ro!lo was sold and, Notwithstanding
his lady's interces>ion on his behalf, the
groom, Miguel, was discharged from his
post, and hidden to take himself off the
premises AID return to his own place from
whence re came, as he was held to blame
particularly after the discovery OF the
marks OF heavy lashes across the pony S
TANKS, and which could only have come by
his hand-for the accident which had &C.
CURED; which discovery would have made
il hardly safe for him TO have shown
his swer5hy face inside the stable yard.
But Deborah, always on the lockout for
wat che hardly knew or dared admit
even in her own heart, declared that
Miguel had beed hidden somewhere il the
neighbOThOOd for some time after the event
thus recorded, ana that my LADY herself,
wrapped from head 70 foot in one Of her
io1g clJaks and muflled abort the face
with lace veil, had met him at dusk in
the haz | copse ''uo longer ago than
Wednesday ssnnight," and given him
money-which same she could vOuch
for as GoOpel truth, as she
heard the chink of it with her
own ears-and had spoken to him in so ne
foreign lingo, in which he had also replied,
and then kissing her ladyship's jewelsd
hand, HAD departed in great haste on heat
ing a twig snap, through a hasty move
ment of the listener. Deborah owned that
she had followed the lady and acted az
evesdroppsr on this occasion, and the few
trusty sO1ls 10 whom she impaired the
revelation SO far from condemnirg her for
it considered her action as deserving Of the
highest commentator.
