CHAPTER TI.-A woMAN'S NAME.
Lady Blenkeusop was a woman OF
r-orDpt and energetic action, and she
did not waste any time in EXPLANATIONS
Of pity or horror, as her eyes fell on the
Young lord S white face. She kneeled
down on the grass, raised one of the
linn. coIorless hands, that hung help
Iesslv by his side, and felt in vain for
anv puIsation at the wrist. But still
something in his expression told her that
the last breath of life had not passed
away from his pallid lips.
He has tainted from loss of blood, I
think, - she said in her quick way, ad-
dressing Lady Gilmore, whose face was
rigid with the anguish and terror of her
soul. 1--WE must try TO stop the bleed
ing until the doctor comes" she added,
Clancing round at the agitated group Of
servants present. ''Have any of you a
knife or a pair Of scissors? We ought to
cut the sleeve out Of his coat; and we
want brandy
The butler, q respectable, middle-aged
man. now stepped forward and produced
p cut glass bottle containing brandy.
u caught up this, my lady, as 1 ran
ont Of the house. as l thought it might
be useful, - he said.
ut Is very well you had the good
sense 10 bring It, - replied Lady Blen-
I-ersoD, as she rose from the ground
She was wearing handsome new plush
cloak lined with fur, and as she put up
her hand TO unfasten the clasp, for
moment she hesitated, for as a rule she
was a saving woman, and very careful
Of her garments. But the grass was
damp. and Lord GilmOre's hands cold
and icy, and Lady BlenkensOp saw no
help for IL. So she took off her cloak
and spread il on the ground.
Now, Lady Gilmore, let your people
lift him on this, - she said, ''yOu should
not hold up his head as you are doing,
and will try TO get a little brandy be-
tween his lips, and first of all We must
endpavOT to stop the BREEDING
LADY Gilmore was too much overcome
20 offer any opposition TO the elder We
man 5 stronger will. She allowed them
to take her son from her arms, and lay
him on Lady Blenkensop's cloak, crawl
ing to his side on her knees, while Lady
Bleukensop tried to pour a little brandy
between his lips, and directed the butler
10 rub his hands and feet with the spirit
rrf,s, s91v- TgIauI-arsOr, haUun
ely to cut the sleeve out of the young
man 5 coat, through which the blood
was still pouring fast. She soon accom-
plished this, and rolled back the soaked
shirt below, and came to the wound close
10 the shoulder, to which she at once
held a handkerchief with her firm hand.
900 90 the house for linen b9ndages,
pillow cases-anythlng will do, - she
said, looking up, and one or two of the
women servants at once ran to do her
bidding. and in a short time Lady Blen-
kensop had everything she required, and
knew enough of the nature and binding
Of wounds to be of the greatest possible
assistance TO the injured man.
He sighed family twice, and his face
lost its extreme pailOr even before the
doctor arrived. This doctor, a little,
pompOuS, fat, faced man, was in q
state OF considerable excitement at beng
called in TO attend on Lord Gilmore, as
ms services had only hitherto been re-
quired by the servants at Wrothsley.
But be was the nearest medical nan at
hand, and the groom. had ridden to his
house in tie village close by >, and had
happily found him at home, and DR..
Roberts had lost no time in hurrying to
the young lord 5 side.
He IS beginning to revive, isn't he,
doctor? said Lady Blenkensop, ad-
dressing him as he knelt down and took
up one Of Gilmore 5 chill hands and felt
for his pulse.
81 hope so, my lady, - answered the
little doctor nervously, and then be pro-
reeded TO examine the family blue-edged
bullet wound.
The shoulder is badly injured, am
afraid, he said.
Is the bone broken?'' asked Lady
Blenkensop, iuquiri19lY.
Yes, answered the doctor, ''but
We can do nothing with that here; Lord
fillmore must be taken at once TO the
castle. -

feeted mattress to be brought, and a
gate 10 be hastily taken off its hinges,
ana When this was done, Lord Gilmore,
sun wrapped in Lady BIenkensop's
cloak, was lifted on it, and thus carried

Lady bIeukensop had raised from the
damp ground. -
