OHAH IEt IN.
80 you have come for your reward,
LYNDON"
yes, Sir Henry Dundas Lyndon
seated himself opposite the great
Queens counsel, whose face looked
old, grey and worn. Il think l have
won it fairly. The man who should
take his place in the dock few weeks
hence as the thief of Lady Brownlow's
jewels is hopeless imbecile. There's
no doubt whatever on the subject"
MOP" Sir Henry raised his head,
and his haggard eyes looked into the
cold ones of Dundas Lyndon. And
your reward Lyndon?' p
'Is, as l dare say youth have guessed,
Sir Henry the right of winning Miss
Lennox as my wife, replied Lyndon
deliberately.
Sir Henry half sprang from his
chair, then sank into it again, and
looked at the man before him without
speaking.
"You seem surprised" said Lyndon
coldly. 81 thought you had guessed
long ago, Sir Henry, the cause of my
enthusiasm in the affair, | am an
ambitious man. as you know, and
have risked great deal in this mat
ter. Were but word of this to get
abroad I should be ruined man, in
worse plight than the poor wretch
whom we know butlI thought the
game worth the candle. With Cecil
Lennox as my wife and Sir Henry,
the great O. c., as my father-in-law,
my future success is secured Now,
have spoken frankly, IA l expect a
frank answer
Sir Henry looked at him for mo-
ment, then with shudder he bowed
his head on his hands. Never till
this moment, had the wretched man,
who had years ago entered on course
Of deception and cruel wrong, realiz-
ed to the full that 'the way of trans
gressors is hard" His sin, at first
a cobweb, had become cable.
He was in the power of an unscrupu-
lous villain, and he could never hope
to extricate himself from it.
He looked up at last
II cannot use compulsion in such a
case" he said. in hard dry voice
Cecil NAV NOT he apreeabIe toto
this proposal of yours"
Lyndon smiled grimly.
81 think she will be when tell her
the consequence of her refusal. Sir
Henry. One word from me- and the
whole world will know the real char
acter of the man it has been accus-
toned to regard as faultless."
"And the character of the man it
has trusted as an honorable physi-
cian!" said voice behind both men
suddenly.
They were sitting in Sir Henry's IL
brary with closed doors. Neither of
them mad heard the door which con-
nected the library with Sir Henry's

sprang round, as II simultaneously,

CHAPTER VIII.-(Continued)
He paused. His story had been told
weakly and slowly, with many halts
and failuresl but it was done at last.
Jasmine. still supporting him in her
arms, looked CHASTITY pale, and her
dark eyes were heavy with unshed
tears. Oh, the pitifulness of it, that
she had never known this terrible Sc
cret burden her father had borne until
now, when he was going away beyond
her reach of help, of sympathy!
Enderby had written every word
rapidly, though his face, too, had
grown paler as he went on. and his
lips became stern and set. How little
he had understood the mystery of this
mans life, the man who had literally
given his life for his friends-and such
friends!
Sir Henry Lennox, the unimpeach-
able, the revered, whom he himself had
looked upon as the embodiment of all
that was highest and noblest in man,
had permitted so cruel lie to be per-
petuated, so frightful an injustice to
continue, in order that he might save
himself from disgrace and loss. 1t was
appalling! Paul Enderby, letting his
face droop for one moment on his
hands, asked himself If there could be
any honor or righteousness among
men when this man had been guilty of
so great crime
But no time was to be lost: already
the light in David Gerards eyes was
waxing dim. Enderby reused himself
with an effort, and put the pen into
the weak, dying fingers
You must sign your name; it is the
only thing you have to do now, Mr..
Gerard" he said, in voice which was
full OF an agitation he could not con-
troll.
Guiding the weak fingers to the spot,
he watched them as they feebly

When he raised his head he saw that
great change had come over the dy-
ing mans face.

"Mr. Enderby, shall die in peace

not forsake her?"
Il will not, as God is my witness!"
said Enderby, and there was strange
solemnity in his voice. Mr.. Gerard,
will you trust her to me? 1 shall see
that your name Is cleared; and your
daughter will be cared for. If you
wish me to take upon myself the name
Of her guardian, shall do So"

sick man, with sudden energy. Jas
