And Madame your mother? She is well! p
For a moment the young man hesitated.
Then he said:
'She is dead, too"
"Pauvre DAME" the landlord said, and
as he spoke it seemed as though he was
talking to himself ''She was bright and
happy in those days so far off, bright and
happy once; and she, too, is gone. And
I, who was older than either Of them, am
left! But, Lord Penlyn," he said, read
dressing himself to his guest, 'you look
younger than your years. 1t Is thirty
years since you used to run about those
sands outside and play; ! have carried you
to them often"
'You carried sme to those sands thirty
years ago! Why, was not

English, and speaking in low tone. s'Do
you not see it all? Say 40 more"

the room after insisting upon shaking
the hand of 'the chile he had known
thirty years ago." Gervase said:

| tanned, who seemed to be above the or
| binary weaknesses Of other men, was,
| after all, worse than the majority of
them. l suppose he leftithis poor woman
when he married my mother, l suppose
he left the boy, for whom this man takes
me-to starve or to became thief prey

! to think that have an oder brother who
may be an Outcast, perhaps felOn!'
II should not take slch a pessimistic
view Of things as that, Philip said. For
aught you know, the lady he had with him
here may have died bstween 1854 and
1853, and, for the mattR Of that, so may
the boy; or he may hav made good al
lowance to both whe1E8he parted with
them. For anything Eou know to the
contrary he might havfseen the boy fire.

SO welldid the Landlord remember Mr..
Occleve's face, even alter all these years,
that ever since Lord Jenlyn had been in
the house he had beenpuzzling his brains
to think where he hal seen him before.
He certainly should ut, he said, have
remembered the child had played with
so often, but that his ILLNESS to his father
was more than striking To Madame, his
mother, he saw no reese tblance at all.
''But did not tell hii1" he said to HIM
self afterwards, as hssat in his parlor
below; II did not tel him that on the
second summer a gloon had fallen over

On the next day tn storm was over,
