rustic origin, he said, in suave, cold
tones:
''Her ladyship is far from well this
morning, Robert. You will attend her,
while she takes an airing in the park

Obedient as child, she rose and left
the room.
It was then that Paul Hayter once
more took in hand the letter he had
been perusing when he had been SO un-
pleasantly interrupted
There's mischief here" he muttered
to himself. elise what does this interior
ing knave, Forester, mean by his allu-
sion to 'prying Americans and his per-
emptory demand for an immediate in
terview, which may, he declares, avert
great family scandal? Well, think
it a little late now to fear disclosures.
Still, do not like the fellows manner
always so sycophantic, now SO obtru-
sive. What does it mean?''
His meditations were rudely inter-
rupted. The door of his room was flung
open and Robert, his servant, gasping
for breath, stood before him.
''What is it?" the master cried, as
tonished at the mans lack of ceremony
"Her ladyship-her ladyship-is-''

the house. My lady was sitting on a
bench under one of the trees. Suddenly

in it,

If as, all impatient for vengeance,
Mr.. Paul Hayter sprang upon his
horse, he had been gifted with the
power of looking through high hills
and stone walls, he would have seen
Lady Arlington in a chamber of the
village inn, flung on her knees before a
golden-haired girl, the embodiment OF
her own proud beauty before her soul
had been stepped in selfshness. How
different had been his feelings could
he have heard the mothers cry:

Nothing was further from Mr.. Paul

sion between Lady Arlington and any
member of her late husbands family.
His establishment may then be inn
agined when he rode into the passage
Of the Arundel Arms, Justify calling
for John HOrner, to encounter William
Bladon, his ancient enemy, older than
when he had last seen him, but with a
bearing insolent and undismayed as ever.
He did not design to betray the recog-
milton.
Where is John Horner, fellow? Send
him to me at once" he demanded, as
without ceremony he strobe into the
inn parlor.
'Mr. Horner is engaged, sir; will
wait upon you; what did you please to
want?"
where is the woman Horner?-

request.

of Wilmington hall deeply engaged in
the study of q manuscript he held be-
fore him, his brow knitted, and his
face betraying q conflict Of inward emo
tions. Aye, and his was handsome
face, tOo-a fine, delicate, we1lbred
contour of Grecian caste. It was only
in the thin lips and furtive glance of
the eye that you could detect some
thing that was not in harmony with the
rest.
The hand of time had been lightly
laid on him, for, though he had seen
more than sixty summers, you would
not have judged him to be more than
fifty years of age.
