answered.
I "Ah! this great Cromwell!" said
Lady Jevery; but if he has the willy
Mazarin at his disposal, why can he
not find out something about that poor
Lord Neville? Has Col. Ayrton re-
turned, or is he also missing?"
HE returned some time ago. He
discovered nothing of Importance"
Then | suppose we shall see no
more of Lord Neville. I am very sor-
ry. He was good youth, and he loved
Jane Swaffham very honestly"
A week after this evening the Jew
erys were in their own house, and Ma
tilda had sent word to Jane Swaffham
that she wanted to see her She
opened her heart on various subjects
to Jane, more especially on Anthony
Lynn's dramatic life and death, and
the money and Gland he had left her.
"Of course" she said, lit is only tenn
porary. When the King comes home,
Stephen will be Earl de Wick, and |
shall willingly resign all to him. In
the meantime l intend to carry out
Anthony's plans for the improvement
of the estate"
When this subject had been talked
well over, Jane named cautiously the
lover in France. Much to her sur
prise, Matilda seemed pleased to en-
large on the topic. She spoke herself
of Prince Rupert, and of the poverty
and suffering Charles Court were en-
during, and she regretted with many
strong expressions Rupert's presence
there. All he makes is swallowed up
in the bottomless Stuart pit" she
said; "even my youth and beauty have
gone the same hopeless road"
There was a queer story about
Stephen robbing the mail and tearing
up the three warrants for the arrest
of Blythe and Mason and himself"
said Jane
Did you believe that, Jane?"
THE mail was robbed. The war
rants were never found. Stephen has
daredevil temper at times. When
did you hear from him."

pounds, but under question of the law
she confessed her crime"
What do you think has happened

Il think robbery and murder. Some
one has known, or suspected, that he
had treasure with him. He has been
followed and assassinated, or he has
fought and been killed, and little Jane
Swaffham is slowly dying of grief and
cruel suspense. She loves him, and
they we're betrothed."
There was short silence, and then
Matilda said: MANY brave young
lords have gone out from home and
friends these past years, and never
come back. Is Neville's life worth
more than my brothers life, than
thousands of other lives? trow mott"

Presently the governors trumpeter

sticks about 2 feet long, barbed at

CHAPTER XIV.
A Little Further On.

The settlement of the affairs of An
thony Lynn occupied Sir Thomas
much longer than he expected, and the
autumn found the family still at de
Wick. Stephen had escaped, as had
also his companion conspirators, Ma
son and Blythe; and Matilda could not
but compliment herself little on her
share in securing their safety.
Towards the middle of September
Sir Thomas reused himself from his
life among flowers and shrubs, and
said he must go back to London. He
had a sudden desire for his wharf and
his office, and the bearded, outlandish
men that he would meet there And
as the ladies also wished to return to
London, the beautiful home quickly
put on an air of desertion. Boxes lit
tered the hall; they were only waiting
until the September rain-storm should
pass away, and the roads become fit
for travel.
At this unsettled time, and in a
driving shower, Cymlin and Doctor
Verify were seen galloping up the
avenue one evening. Every one was
glad at the prospect of news and COM
pany, Sir Thomas so much so, that he
went to the door to meet the Doctor,
Nobody could be more welcome" he
said; "and pray, what good fortune
brings you here?"
Il come to put my two nephews in
