Lord Scarodell. Harry's old col0nsa,

compliments in her willing ears, and he
was the first to notice her ghastly stare
Mt the two men approaching her.

long-lost brother!'' Grahamc said, his
lip curling with Unsurpassed con-
tempt.
Then, turning to the guests, he said
with brief courtesy:
Ladies', my lords, and gentlemen,
thank you for gracing my home with
your presence, and I hope that you will
not let my sudden arrival interfere
with your pleasures. May I plead par
don for the absence Of my dear sisters,
who, see, are counting the moments
until they can in more privacy display
their Joy at my return"
He turned rs he spoke, and taking a
hand of either wretched woman led
them from the hall.
Then it was as though Babel was
broken loose. Ten minutes Of the
widest confusion of tongues, and then
a fight for the entrance hall, and in a
quarter of an hour that gorgeous
chamber was deserted. But you may
be sure that Mr.. Colburn, attorney at
law, was the first to reach the street
nay, he did not even stay to escort his
long line of daughters to their hired
carriagcs-in fact, he never stopped I'M
til he reached the grateful shelter of n
Belgian city, where he felt that the OK
tradition laws shielded him from ar
rest. Months afterwards. when no
found that the Grahamc family pride
was stronger than their sense OF justice,
he crept back to the bosom of his fam
lily, to sink eventually into the humble
role of police court practitioner.

CHAPTER XIX.

call LADY ScARDoRoUGu's CARRIAGE"
Meanwhile grand event is agitating
the upper circles of London society,
which is none other than the splendid
ball to be given by the Countess OF
Scarborough and her sister, Miss
Honoria Grahamc, the joint hciresscs OF
Sir Harry Grahamc, in the Grahamc
mansion, which has been magnificently
refitted in honor of the suspicious occa-
sion-thc public declaration that their
period of mourning for their deceased
brother is past, and that they arc now
ready once moro to enter into the gay
whirl of life among the upper ten
thousand.
And the high anticipations of the
votarics of fashion were not doomed to
disappointment. 1t was the ball of the
season, and the wonder was that
though DEFENDERS chilly winds were
bowling in the streets, and all great
personages were supposed to be away
Mt their ancestral halls, there was hard
" n refusal. and my Lady Scarborough
had been very prodigal OF her invita-
tions.
Why stop to describe the magnificent
ballroom? They said the flowers alone
cost thousand pounds. The Guards
band discoursed ravishing music; serv-
ants in the most critically correct liv-
cry fitted about the great hall, the sup
per room presented n scene like a
glimpse into fairy palace; and rs for
the ladies' dresses, !, mere man,
would not dare the proclamation of n de-
scription of them.
A proud woman was Lady Scar
borough that night. Born to the purple,
she had never till then tasted the de-
light of reveling in extravaganza with
out the anxiety of considering the cost.
It was to her 4 moment OF thrilling
ccstacy, aud her eyes shone as brightly
rs the family diamonds which flashed
on her rounded neck. People Won
dered little, and ! am afraid my lord
swore a good deal Mt her ladyships ad-
hitting the Colburn family into the
magic circle of which she was queen,
but the most critical only attributed it
to dear Lady Scarborough's marvellous
good nature" and did not grudge the
attorneys wife and daughters tho en-
joymcnt of their sudden elevation.
And it was u proud moment, too, for
Mr.. Colburn. IL is not permitted TO
many to rise to such giddy heights from
his humble start in life, and his bosom
filed with conscious pride.
Nay, it was even whispered that .
prince of the blood royal would be
present, and the company was kept in
thrilling suspense awaiting his advent,
each late arrival causing more craning
of necks a1d hushcd conversations
than is customary OF such occasions.
My lord had just whispered into my
lady's ear that his royal highness waa

"Let go! I tell you, let go!" the
honrsc voice OF the man cried, 'the
machine Is forfeited. Let go, i tell
you or I'll"
What he would do the world never
knew, for ut that Instant the burly
form Of the farmer darlicncd the door
way. Barlow did not stay to consider
how he should open the discussion, but
plunged ut the hapless agent, grasping
ut one handful the mans cur and tho
long locks contingent. Thus he dragged
him, shrielSing with rage and pain, to
the stair landing, when ono kick from
the farmers heavy shoes sent the poor
wretch headlong down the stairs, his
cries and curses mingling with the
landlady's screams.
Yes, in this bare, miserable garnet
stood Sir Harry Grahame's hciress-
beautiful rs Madonna, but with all
the sunny brightness faded out OF her
winsomc features. Tears rolled down
the farmers checks us he grasped her
| hands.
MY birdie! My poor, lost, foolish
birdic!" he cried, rs he drew her to him.
One glad glance shot from her eyes,
and she fell fainting into his arms.
Then you should have seen the
vagarics of the sturdy farmer. He
roared for help, and first almost terri
| fled the landlady ont of her wits by his
denunciations Of her inhumanity, and
then drove her frantic with joy Mt the
glittcring heap of shillings and half
sovcrcigns he poured onto her lap. You
should have seen the big basket of del
icacics he fetched into that cherries
chamber: you should have witnessed
his burst of Joy when the doctor told
him that ii he would only moderate his
transports, and not excite the patient,
he might remove her to Willoughby
farmhouse that very night.
AS for Kate Grahame, she was too
weak to offer any opposition. and, like
sensible girl, without M effort OF re-
monstrance yielded to his tender solicit
tude. Poor girl, she reached that haven
OF rest just in time, for even her superb
health broke down under the long spell
of anxiety and distress, and for a
month she lay lowering between life
and death in the best chamber" Of the
qunint old house, tended by the gcntlest
of nurses in the persons of Dame Bar
low and her pretty daughter, while,
otter time, their ministrations were
supplemented by the presence OF Miss
Balderstone, who somehow or other
made peace with the yoeman and CRATE
fully accepted his permission to be en-
rolled rs one of the loving attendants
on the sick girl.
No wonder then that in such comfor-
table quarters and under such tender
care the flush came back to Rates
checks. and the elasticity to her step,
though when the first furry of snow
bore the glad tidings of the ncarapproach
of Christmas, the ycoman much mis-
doubted that her bird-likc voice would

TIE FALL OF THE CURTAIN.

There is Joy ut Willoughby farm
house. OF the hundreds of Christmas
dinners which have been eaten beneath
that hospitable roof, none was ever half
SO glorious us this.
At one end of the table sits the mas
ter of the house; ut the other, Sir Harry
Grahame, supported by Kate Grahame,
Miss Balderstone, Dame Barlow and
her daughter, Arthur Dunbar, ind
n handsome, stalwart fellow, who has
been introduced by the exultant yeo-
man as "Nellic's young man." and
whose checks are yet crimson with the
novelty Of his situation. Mile. Cam
pignon might have felt shocked at
this miscellaneous gathering, but
neither Miss Balderstone nor Sir Harry
Grahamc seem to notice any incon-
sistcncy in It.
Kate Grahame is the only ono present
whose happiness is dimmed by con-
lectures. Her prince, her hero, the idol
Of her childish dreams was dead and Is
nlive again, AID her heart beats exult-
ingly ut the thought, but-ah, these
buts-there is another now even dearer
to her than this demi god.
Now, what II her king demand his
own? What II the man who rescued
her from n life of infamy, who sur
rounded her Young days with luxury.
