LADY MAJENO|E

Mrs. Lee Aston was so unnerved that
she entreated to be allowed TO die
quietly. Edward Norton had scrambled
and dragged himself out, and when in
the open air, to every ones astonlsh-
ment, tainted away. Metals screams
gradually subsidized, and she sat sobbing
at the size OF the road.
Mrs. Lee Aston once on her feet was
quite herself again. and she and Mabel
Orchard, who was much shaken and
very pale, set to work to try and restose
the two who appeared to be most
severely hurt
The coachman mounted one of the
horses, and leading the other, rode off
for assistance.
In about five minutes Perdita opened
her eyes; it was strange sCene-the
sky was just beginning to glow with the
first CLEANS of sunrise. and the grass and
road were all brilliant with hoar frost.
They were not really far from home; but
the park wall divided them from the
park, and there would be nearly mile
to skirt it before they could arrive at
the lodge The inhabitants of the farm
were unfortunately only women-the
farmer had gone for the night TO some
distant market town, and the. la bOrers
had all gone home to their cottages.
Perdita found Mabel Orchard and
Jack both bending anxiously over her,
and she tried to smile aud attempt to sit
up, but she could not help giving cry
of pain, and fell back again.

in coming" sobbed Meta.
Mrs Lee Aston was kneeling by Ed
ward Norton, putting eau-deCOlogne to
his brow, and chatting his hands; but

poor Andrew, all in the keencat anxiety.
Perdita was lifted in, and the ladies fol-
lowed her.
Arthur and Jack together appropriated
the largest blankets in the farm, and
extemporized a sort of litter, on which
they placed the inanlmate form of Sir
Edward Norton. Several men had ar
rived by this time from the house and
the stables, and they started home with
their burden as fast as they could 60.
Before they set out, the foOtman, who
jumped off, made his appearance in Il
most deplorable condition, his life had
been saved only by miracle; he had
thrown himself on the top of hedge,
which had broken the fall; his face and
hands We're torn and scratched, his
clothes almost in rags, and covered with
blood; but there seemed to lie no serious
injury.
Another messenger was sent off for
the doctor, who arrived very quickly,
but not before the principal sufferers
had been taken up into their rooms.

broken-a single fracture, OF no very
great consequences. She went through
the setting with heroism, holding Mr..
Lee Aston's hand the Willie. over Ed
