himself, starting at the slightest sound
and nearly mad with his thoughts.
These thoughts he could not collect;
he did not know what steps to take next.
What was he to tell Ida or Sir Paul-or
was he to tell them anything?
The dead man, the murdered brother
had enjoined on him, in what he could
not have known was TO be n dying re-
quest, that he was to keep the secret
Why, then then should he say anything? :?
There was no need to do SO! He was
Lord Penlyn now. there was nothing to
tell! No one but Philip. who was trust
worthy, knew that he had ever been any
thing else. No one would ever know it
And he shuddered as he thought that, If
the world did ever know that Walter
Cundall had been his brother, then the
world would believe him to be his mur-
derer! No! it must never be known that
he and that other were of the same blood.
He rang for his man and told him to
pack up and pay the bill, and take his
things round to Occleve House. and that
he should arrive there late; and the man
seemed surprised at his orders.
He was a quiet, discreet man, but al
he packed his masters portmanteau he
reflected a good deal on the occurrences
of the past few days.
First of all, he remembered the visit Of
Mr.. Cundall on Saturday to Occleve

TIE Clutch of the Bluecoat.
Not long ago Paul Bourget, who is
supposed 10 know all about 'Love as
she Is Taught" in Paris and else
where, gave the public an interesting
little exercise in the chances which
the various professions and Occupa-
tiOns offer the naked and dimpled
little archer for getting in his hands.
The wise French romancer did not
deal in sugar-cOated generalities. He
got down To business and juggled
with figures as gliblv as census ex-
pert or a StatiSt clan on crime.
Bourget is not alone in his pencil
ant for figures and vital statistics
He has the company OF no less a
person than the general superinten-
dent Of the Chicago police. The lat

profession, is almost as vital a kind
of statistic as is that showing the cor
responding likelihood Of being loved.

general superintendent Of police
showing the number of arrests for

as classified by occupations, is an in

statistics of arrests puts the preacher

court, a prisoner was charged with
larceny of Il bottle of beer from bar

before the justice. and asked that hi:

Sir Paul Raughton's Ascot party had
been eXcellently arranged, every guest
being specially chosen with a view to
making an harmonious whole.
Belmont was charming villa, lyinS
almost on the borders OF the two lovely
counties of Berkshire and Surrey, and

who would have been the most welcome,
Mr.. Cundall and Lord Penlyn, had writ
ten to say that they would not come. The
formers letter had been very short, and
the explanation given for his refusal was
that he was again preparing to leave
England. perhaps for very long period.

CHAPTER VII.

CHAPTER VII.
About the same time that Sir Pau
Raughton received the telegram from
London, and was taking counsel with one
or two Of his elder guests as to whether
he should at once tell Ida the dreadful
news or leave it till the morning, Lord
Penlyn entered his hotel in town.
His face, which usually bore a good
color, was CHASTITY pale, his eyes had
great hollows and deep rings around
them. and even his lips looked as if the
blood had left them.
He had come from his club, where,
since it had been discovered who the vic
tim Of last nights tragedy was, nothing
else but the murder had been talked
about, as was also the case in every club
and public place in London, and he now
mounted the steps Of the hotel with the
manner of a man who was either very
weak or very weary.
Lord Penlyn entered his room and took
I'D a letter that was lying on his table,
and proceeded to open it, throwing him
self at the same time wearily into an arm
chair.
He read it carefully from beginning to
end, and then dropped It on the floor as
he put his hands up to his head and wall
ed:
Murdered! Murdered! When he had
written this letter only an hour before"
And then he wept long and bitterly.
The letter ran:
my Brother-Since saw you last Sat
urday I have been thinking deeply upon
what passed between US, and have come
to the conclusion that, after all, it will b
best for nothing to be said to any one on
the subject Of our fathers first marriage,
lot even to Miss Raughton or her father.
'I suggest this, nay, command you to
do this. because Of my love for her, love
which desires that her life may be with
ont pain or sorrow. shall not witness
her happiness with you, not yet at least.
for I do not think could bear that; but,
in some future years, 1t may be that time
vin have 90 tempered my sorrow to me
that 1 shall be a BILE to see you all In oil t.
each other.
Remember. therefore, what I, by my
right as your elder brother-which / exert
for the first and last time!-charge you to
de-. Retain your position, still be to the
world what you have been, and devote
your life to her.
Let US forget the bitter words we each
spoke in our interview. Our lives are
bound I'D in one cause, and that, and our
relationship, should prevent their ever be-
| ing remembered. Your brother,

When he was calmer, he picked the
letter up again and read it through once
more, having carefully locked the door
| before le did SO, for he did not wish his
valet to see his emotion
But the re-reading of it brought him nt
peace, indeed seemed only to increase his
anguish.

he was engaged and could not be dis

until the breakfast bell rang. The old

the young man against the effects OF
Incidence, and at the same to impart

Every morning the Scotchman arose
at six o'clock, shaved himself, and when
completely dressed shook his young
friend and addressed him in this man

dress for brea kfast, and not u minute 10

For week or more this address was
repeated every morning with little vari-

The young man opened the book, ana

lowing verse from Proverbs:

The serious Scotchman was taken
back so completely by the sentiment
that he demanded the book and had to

before he could believe that his COM
nanion was not deceiving him.
