old neighbors in Lancashire. Ny father
bought the old hall after Mr.. Clitheroe's
disasters. The disappearance and the
mysterious temperance Of the old gen.
tleman and his beautiful daughter were
the romance of the region. No one
knew where they had been. Ny father
was dead. My mother tried TO befriend
them. But the old gentleman was
soured and disappointed. He could not
forgive Us for inhabiting the mansion OF
his happier days. God knows how
gladly l would have reinstated him
there. But she could not love me, so |
came away, and we looked up Lugger-
mel springs and the alley together, John,

How easy his chivalry seemed to this
noble fellow "Noblesse oblige;" but
the obligation was no burden.
"You are a stanch friend, Bron, "
said Brent. "She may need you yet. "
YES" said he; christian England is

The very drawing of Clitheroe Hall its
former owner had wished to show me at
Fort Bridger. An able sketch Of thor
