CHAPTER XVIII.
"Past All, Save Peace"

The dressing bell rang, and still that
closed door at the end OF the great
corridor did not open.
Throughout the vast old house the
curtains were drawn in cosy and de-
termined exclusion OF the dreary night
without. The fires were stirred TO
ruddler radiance, the lamps were
burning clearly.
The dinner bell was changing out its
summons, when Miss Lenuox came
into the hall, shutting and locking the
door behind her.,
Her foot was on the first step OF the
stairs, when she felt hand laid on
her arm, and turned to face Mr.. Bow
ers.

perplexity. what are we TO do? Lady
Darlington should know of this It is
but right and necessary that she
should be informed. and yet, how shall
we tell her--who shall tell her? YOU"
In nervous insinuation, ARE like her

"Yes.' In low. rapid voice will
tell her. You need say no word to
her-none. ! will tell her--later."
She went swiftly up the wide stair
way, her purplish draperies trailing be-
hind her At the head OF the stairs
she met the doctor on his way from
the sick chamber. He looked at her
keeply

young lady, you must be careful--ex-

One hand was resting on the carved
balustrade, snow white against It's pol.

Office few days ago. and In the course
of conversation he alluded TO his late

He did SO,
"How many persisted on The burn

"T cannot be positive he replied,
but at all events there were two per-
sons. There may have possibly been

Off quite too late for US to render them
any aid. One was my stepfather's
grandchild. Laurence Lisle!"
Laurence Lisle:"
Miss Lennox had staggered back,
with a hoarse catching of her breath.
Laurence Lislel Was not that the
name OF the girl whom Lady CARING
ton had mentioned as--Ah, what was
coming? She was afraid-afraid to
think.
She stretched out her hand for him
to proceed, with a wordless, imploring
gesture.
"Her companion Mr.. Bracken did
not know, beyond the fact that she ad-
dressed him as-Clive."
"Clive!"

Dolphin. The name was signed Give
Stuart'-a family name of the Caring
tons, you will remember-Stuart."
But Cynthia Lennox did not hear
syllable. She was standing before the
picture which hung above the mantle,
her brown. blazing eyes literally de-
youring Il. Her face was white as
ashes her hands were twisting and
wrenching each other in cruel anguish.

to herself. "Ah. how envy her-how

"Harki"
Again the knocker, welded by no
gentle hand, sent its brisk summons
echoing through the house.
The new heir!
She dug her nails into her soft palms
TO keep her from crying out in her
sharp, awful pain.
"Go!" she said, huskily. and nodded
toward the door.
Mr.. Bowers bowed and went out in
silence. She walked after him and
turned the key in the lock. Then she
came slowly back across the room,
and leaning both arms on the mantel's
broad slab, looked up till her eyes rest
ed on tho smiling, boyish face above

She was shaking violently from head

LINCOLN.

Frank Rhodes is rushing his new
house having the frame up and boarded
in and roof shingled, which is pretty
quick work.
Mr.. Mcfarland has purchased a lot
on Ballard Hill and will soon build.
Samuel Clay has decided to build
several new tenements in his field in
which he will cut a street through
from Main to Lee road. Mr.. Clay will
commence as soon as the mud dries UP
a little.
There is pressing need in Lincoln for
about 100 new tenements for people
who are working here and need their
families with them but cannot have
them as there are no rents to be had
in town for them. In some cases two
families are occupying one rent.
The carpenters have finished their
work upon the town building and have
housed the hand fire engine and are
fitting up the same with all the neces-
sary tools that are needed for the pur-
pose of fighting fires. The building
being centrally located makes it one of
the most conspicuous buildings in town
and fitted in such way that makes it
as good an engine house of it's kind
in the State.
