very much better. so Well, Inuee0, tnaC
when his friend Lindsay received that
letter, the viscount himself would be
ON his way to London, there to arrange
some very important matters which
would detain him some months In town.
But he could no longer be deprived Of
his little grandson, and entreated that
Lindsay would at once set forth to-
wards the village to which the child
had been sent with his nurse, and bring
the infant back with him, and then on
to One Tree Square, where, beside the
tree, he would find lady in waiting
to receive the child.
That lady would show to Lindsay a
ring engraved with the yiscount's fam
lily crest, and he was then to give the
child to her keeping, with perfect conf
dence that the little fellow would be
well cared for, since the lady was an
old and tried friend of the viscount's,
who had kindly undertaken to bring
! to him his little grandson.
The viscount IS lady friend had fixed
on One Tree Square, instead of Dare
leigh Park, to await the child, because
thereby some miles of travelling would
be saved to both her and the gentle
the young viscount.
And it would be convenient to catch
the maiI-coach, which passed that spot
on its way toward London every even
ing at few minutes past ten o'clock
Arnold Lindsay was therefore en-
treated to reach One Tree Square with
his precious burthen by, at latest, a
quarter to ten o'clock on the night of
the fifth of February.
1t was pleasurable surprise to Lind
say to learn that his friend and patron
was recovering the health which had
seemed forever lost to him.
His preparations for the journey he
had so unexpectedly been called upon
to make were soon completed, and
away he went.
And no foreboding came to him of
the horrors which were to follow.
On the ninth of February, four days
after the terrible deed which had been
perpetrated near One Tree Square, Ar
mold Lindsay was surprised by visit
from Norton Sowerby, who, of course,
was known to Lindsay, and who came,
accompanied by magistrate and sever
al officers of the law.
Pardon me, Mr. Lindsay" said Nor
| ton Sowerby, 'but, a few days since,
you took from the custody of his nurse
the viscount's little grandson"
"Yes, certainly" Lindsay replied
greatly astonished.
And then explained that, by com
mand of the viscount, he had given
possession of the child to a lady who
had been in waiting at One Tree Square
| to receive him.
"Could he describe the LADY,"
"No, he had had no opportunity OF
particularly observing her."
"What had she said to him?"
"Not a word" Lidsay replied.
"But did you not wait to see her en-
ter the mail coach, concerning which
you have told us?' was asked by the
magistrate.
NO" was replied to that, "the lady
had bowed that he should leave her,
and Lindsay had obeyed.
And then-"What has happened
wherefore am thus questioned?' cried
Lindsay.
''The child has disappeared, and q
pool of blood has been. discovered or
the London road. and near to One Tree
Square," said Norton.
