CHAPTER II.

81 believe my respected godmother Is
going to live forever" said de Burgh
one wild wintry morning in late No
vember when he was walking beside
Grace in the sheltered Alley of the old
pleasaunce near the mansion, yet out
of sight. "She is going to winter on the
Riviera, and is really much better, and
begins to see people. / cannot stand
much more of this, Grace, / shall blow
my brains out If you do not come to
the rescue"
But Hugh. you do not wish Mrs. de
Burgh to die for your gratification?'
Yes, l do; 1 would sweep away ev-
erything and every one that stands be-
tween US. Are you startled, my dar-
ling, because l am so wicked? You look
white; / wish you had more pluck, and
trusted me more. Then we might put
an end to this slow torture, and link
ourselves indissolubly-if secretly"
No, Hugh, you have limited at a Sc
cret marriage before; but that l will
never hear of, on your account as much
as my own. We are young; we enjoy
seeing each other frequently; we can
afford to wait"
De Burgh replied by some very bad
language indeed. Grace replied with
spirit, and a more serious quarrel than
they had ever had ensued. Next day
de Burgh left to return to his regiment
without a reconciliation, and Grace be-
gan to doubt il life were worth living
1t was about a fortnight after to-
ward the end of which de Burgh wrote

did you think me a negligent lover,
to stay away so long? You see, Mrs.
Fitzherbert de Burgh sent for me-all
the way to San Reno, and 1 dared
not refuse. However, 1 did not go for
nothing-ny godmother promises to
clear off my debts, and they are no
trifle. So must not offend her-at any
rate till / get my debts paid. Were
you wretched without me, eh?"
'I am very weak, Hugh, but when
you are away 1 am awfully miser-
able"
1--WE must put an end to that" ex-
claimed de Burgh, with cheerful de-
cision. 81 cannot live without you.
Still, my godmother must not be Of
Tended. I am sure, Grace, you are too
sensible and high minded and highly
educated to care what people say so
long as you can have your own true
love with you, and you know nothing
can alter my devotion to you. Why
should we not snap our fingers at emp
ty ceremonies, and be all in all to each
other? You understand, my darling, it
will be so secret a marriage that we
will let no clergyman or registrar into
our counsels. We will be husband and
wife before God, until a safe time
comes to avow the tie between us.
Why, what is the matter?"
For Grace had started and struggled
vehemently to escape his grasp, while
her cheek had grown suddenly white.
1.-THE matter! I don't know. l am not
sure-do you ask me to live with you
in union unblessed by the church,
unsanctioned by the law"

old-fashioned aspect"
do you-or do you not?"
MY own darling, you know what ]
should choose if circumstances were
not too strong
AT last l understand you. Mr.. de
Burgh, there is the door; never darken
it again. Goodby-and goodby forever
You can never excuse or wash out this
insult"
But, Grace. you are so hasty-sc
unreasonable. If you had a grain OF
patience all would go right

Grace Norton was the granddaughter
of former huntsman in the employ
ment Of Squire de Burgh of Thoresby
Chase, Midlandshire. His was one of
those old Norman families. wherein
failing a direct male heir the estate
passed TO the daughters.
The late Squire married twice. His
first born was a daughter; and some
twenty years after her birth his second
wife died in giving him son and heir.
This boy grew up the idol of his father,
and a favorite with all who served him.
Now, Jim Norton. the yhuntsman,
saved the life of this highly valued
young man by extricating him from
under a vicious horse, which had fall
en- with his rider after taking a dan
gerous fence out hunting. In thus saw
ing his young masters life, the hunts
man lost his own-as fierce kick from
the struggling animal broke his skull.
Mrs. Norton was therefore pensioned
off and given a comfortable and pic
turesque cottage to live in.
To draw the links even closer, one
of the widows sons enlisted in the
same regiment to which young Harry
de Burgh was gazetted, and when,
some years after, Charles Norton, who
had attained a sergeant's stripes, and
his young wife were carried off by
typhus fever. in the ill-drained. ILL
