CHAPTER XIII.
Venetia's Triumph.

I
The breach between Col. Vanbrugh
and his wife was not one that could
be easily healed, for the simple reason
that no full explanation was possible.
/ Mrs. Vanbrugh had refused to allow
her son to tell Roger Vanbrugh the re-
lationship between the man who had
died at her feet sooner than be taken
alive by the police. You must swear
to me that you will never tell him, -
she had said, fixing her great blue eyes
upon him till Lancelot felt as if their
magnetic power subjugated his very
soul. IF you do, it should be better
for you not to see my face again.
But, mother-why?" the boy cried,
as he knelt at her feet and looked with
passionate eyes into her worn yet love-
ly face. He ought to know
Ought he?" said his mother, with
a queer, sad smile. Say, rather. he
ought to have believed me. He ought
to know-yes, but without telling. [
will never condescend to clear myself
by single word
And Lancelot, with an answering
thrill of antagonism to his father, had
sworn that he, too, would not reveal
the truth.
When, on the night of the quarrel
between the colonel and himself, he
left his fathers presence, he was
buoyed up with strong belief in the
righteousness of his cause and the heat
of just indignation, as he considered
it. But after striding about his room
for a little while, a cold chill came
over him. After all had he done right =?
Would his mother be pleased that he
had quarreled with his father for her
sake? And had not his father a right
to expect from him some accounts Of
his doings during the day? 1t would
not be considered, to say the least of
it, courteous thing for any member
of household to go off to London for
day without announcing his inten-
tons, unless necessity had absolutely
prevented him from doing so. So much
he felt that he must needs acknowledge
to himself. He had not of late been
civil to his father and Col Vanbrugh
was not the man to put up with open
lncivility. He remembered in this
moment of softening the look of pain
upon his fathers face. Not of anger.
No, there had been nothing but intense
suffering, nothing but an appeal for
silence and oblivion. Lancelot's con-
science would not allow him to call it
guilty face. 1t had borne rather the
expression of one who bears a heavy
expression of one who bears a heavs
burden, which nobody can remove. And
yet-yet, Lance thought, remembering
also the sweet, sad face and winning
ways of Venetia Zavertal, it was i'm
possible that his mother Should have
been to blame. Would it be right,
therefore, for him to make submission
to his father, when he was perfectly
persuaded that his father was in the
wrong?
He stood by his bedroom window
looking out upon the garden, now flood
ed by he moons silver light. There
came knock at the door and Lance
unthinkingly called out: Come in
He wished afterward that he had OPEN
ed the door himself

ct was very good of you to think
of me-"
Madeline, make compact with me
You are a friendless, little person, are
you not? Will you consider me your
friend-always and forever"
ct will be very good of you" she
said again. She was too shy to say
more.
I'm sure 1 don't see the goodness
But you will?"
Eyes, indeed Lancelot We will al,
ways be friends"
"And something more than friends
scme day, dear?"
She looked him innocently in the
face.
81 don't quite know what you mean
Lancelot."
He laughed.
"Don't you, my sweet one? All the
better; and I'm not going to enlighten
you. And you are not to ask any one
else-do you understand? I will tell
you myself, some day"
And then Madeline bethought her
house and Lancelot walked with her
down the garden path.
But he did not get-he did not even
ask for-what he had been coveting al
the afternoon; kiss from those sweet
lips of Madeline's. Her perfect sim
plicity held him back. He would wait
some day-some day-they would be
ri IcD lo Il
kiss him Of her own sweet will
He had wanted to say far more. He
had wanted to tell her of the strug-
gle that had been raging for some time
In his own mind; of the mingled affec-
ton and diStrust which drew him
sometimes in one direction and some
times in another The Count de Mar
sac's revelation, followed by converse
lions with his mother, seemed to have
changed, for a time, the whole current
OF his nature. He was full of bitter
ness, soreness, anger and Impotence
The quarrel between his father and his
n other was one which he could not
put right and there was in reality no
need for him to take a side: but he
could not refrain from doing so. Heart
and soul he took his mothers part: and
this being the case, it grew more and
more difficult to him to keep the peace
with his father, to live in his father S
house and concur in his fathers plans
for him. He knew that his mother
would be only too delighted if he threw
himself entirely upon her; and some
times it seemed to him that it would
be better for him to do so; but a re-
hinder of his old admiration for his
father kept him back Even Lady
Frances idolatry of the splendid cava-
lier in the picture gallery kept him
back. All this would have to be sac
rificed if he threw in his lot with that
of his mother; and yet would it not
be more honorable of him to quit the
Toof of man of whom he thought
as he now thought of Col. Vanbrugh.
The conflict was sore; but he knew
that no one but himself could decide
1t for him and therefore he was held
back from speaking of his difficulties
to Madeline.

if l went TO her it would show the
world that she is still loved and hon
orded by her son if not by her husband
l am old enough now to choose whether
| shall live with my father or my
mother. l choose my mother"
He paused for a moment and as no
reply came he walked steadily to the
door and opened it. Then he looked
back, but his father did not speak
Roger Vanbrugh sat as if turned to
stone and Rene de Marsac smiled be-
Leath his black mustache. Neither of
them had word to say.
Lance went out and shut the door,

RINGING BELLS FOR THUNDER.

Lobineau observed that the custom
of ringing bells at the approach of
thunder was of some antiquity; but the
design was not so much to shake the
air, and so dissipate the thunder, as
to call the people to church to pray
that the parish might be preserved
from mischief from it,

suppose that was how my mother was
treated and that was why she left you?
She could not bear ceaseless suspicion
of her lightest acts! Now l begin to

Col Vanbrughs face had turned very
white.
"Lancelot," he said, hoarsely, for
Gods sake, say no more
But 1 have more to say. You must
hear me out"
Stop, boy. It's no use. was wrong.
I apologize"
L am glad you do said Lance, in
his reckless young voice, but apologies
do not always mend matters. Perhaps
you think some day that you can mend
my mothers broken heart with an
apology. I am afraid it will come too
late"
Roger Vanbrugh had bowed his head
upon his hands; he lifted it now with
a look of anguish and entreaty stamped
upon it's features, and, in spite Of him
self, Lance answered the unspoken
question.
No. l do not mean that she is dying
though she looks i'll and frail enough.

of suspicion, which a woman never for
gives. And 1 want to say this, once

be glad to have me live with her and

Business Transacted and Prices Paid al Home
and Abroad

NEW YORK, July 3.--The stock market
today displayed considerable shrinkage in
volume of business due to the early abb
sence of many operators taking advantage
of the holidays. The movement of prices
was irregular, but with an upward ten
dency. which was shaped to an extent by
covering purchases and buying for Lon
don account under the favorable condition
of non-engagements of gold and the ex-
tenSive shipments of American securities
to be made at London tomorrow. Inter-
national banking houses say the full extent
of foreign buying within the past few days
cannot be measured by the amount TO be
forwarded tomorrow, as In some instances
the stocks will remain here. The ship
ments are conservatively estimated at
IS, 900 shares, and include chiefly st. Paul,
l.. q N. and Atchison. The purchases
were almost wholly of stocks aside from
count of London pool. The initial prices
were fraction below the closing figures
of yesterday, and in the first fifteen min
utes of business further declines were gen.
orally scored. The pressure against the
market then abated and a firmer tone
became prevalent substantial recoveries
being noted in many instances. The
trading was only on a moderate scale.
but in a number of cases prices advanced
substantially above yesterdays figures.
In the last hour however, realizing sales
lost point. The closing was heavy in tone
at general fractional losses. Bonds were
firm but higher on light volume of business
The improvements were mainly confined
to the speculative issues. The sales were
1854, 500.
