Hildred," he said, that you should

Perhaps we have both made mis-

guess what you would say. You mean
that you have done nothing great and

1T may be So" said the earl. She
looked up at him, with all her heart in
her eyes.

remarked. "You may not have done
any great or brilliant deeds, but you
have never done a mean one."

hand on his.

Her sweet humility disarmed him.

chance to plead her case. Her gentle

in his life he took her hands and
clasped them in his own.

Hildred," he said.
She had so much at stake that she
trembled. He saw her beautiful face

"Hildred," he said, gently, you pain

Speak to me without fear"
Then she took courage. She raised

The view from the window was a
beautiful one, extending over the pleas

She did not spare him. She told him
how his estate was worse cared for and
more mismanaged than any other in
England-how the poor cried out for
help and did not receive it, the sick and
the sorrowful for relief and did not get
it--how the wretched homes caused fe-
yer and rheumatism and host of mis-
eries--how the laborers on his estate
were worse paid, worse lodged and
worse fed than on any other-how the
tenants were more heavily burdened-
how his name was spoken with curses,
not blessings.

CHAPTER xxXI.-(Continued.)

i CHAPTER -(Continued.)
I'VE went to Blantyre, my son John
and /. He told us that he would rot
renew the lease At first we thought
that he was mad; IL seemed to us that
the very stones by the wayside must
rise up and cry out against 1t. He
said that we must leave Bromhill. My
son John looked at him and answered,
The Moores have always lived at
Bromhill, and always will. We shall
see about that said Blantyre. I have
a more eligible tenant in view, and
you will be compelled to leave whether
you like 1t or not This to a Moore
OF Bromhill. my lady! think We were
too stunned to speak. We went out
of his Office. and 1t seemed to me that
the earth and sky were meeting. Then
we heard afterward that Peter Harro-
gate had bribed the agent with fifty
pound note to persuade Lord Caraven
to refuse us the lease. My lady, it is
a crying injustice. We are sons of the
soil, we have made the farm what it
is. If the earl sends us from ii, he
will send me to my grave. l should
die on the threshold, could not live
.one day away from my house. He
must not do it, Lady Caraven. The
bonds OF long generations must not
be so easily broken. He cannot send
his old retainers away in that fashion
men whose fathers died in the SER
vice Of his ancestors, men whose bod
les have been interposed to meet the
blows intended for the lords Of Cara
ven. What Is fifty pounds compared
to that?"
mo-" replied Lady Caraven, grave
1y; ut must not be-"
"They told me-" the old man contin-
ued, that the young earl Is careless,
and that he leaves everything to Blan-
tyre. You will plead for me, my lady;
you will remember that an old, white
haired man has left his life In your
hands-for should die II I left my
home for one day. Ask for justice for
me, and, IL the agent must be bribed,
] will give him twice fifty pounds; ask
for justice for me as you hope for
mercy"
All pale and trembling, she rose
from her seat, frightened at the re-
sponsibility that he had placed upon
her, remembering how her last petit
tion for merciful consideration had
been received.
you may leave your cause in my
hands," she said. IT think I may
promise that you shall have Justice"
He raised his trembling hands and
blessed her, and Lady Caraven went
indoors with weight at her heart
Not least did she feel her great an
ger against Blantyre, this man who
Influenced her husband for evil, who
advised him and counseled him In
wrong-doing, this man who committed
all unkind and unjust acts in the
name Of the earl. Then, with her
vivid imagination, she was not slow to
picture the painful scenes in the farm
at Bromhill. 1t seemed to her al
most cruel that one man should have
SO much power over another She re-
membered her last defeat, and shud-
dered when she thought what another
would cost her.
She must set about her present un-
dertaking differently; she must be
more gracious. more winning; she
