was invited, and where only button max
Ing was the order of the day.
No one COMPOUNDED the name of Jack
son with PeterSon-and it was possibly
good policy In the Captain adopting his
own name when he went with Thomas
Eastbell to Sedge Hill. 1t kept matters
clear and distinct, though he had not bar
gained for Sarah Eastbeiis good mem
DRY, or imagined that he was known to
| her by sight.
1t was he who unlocked the door Of
Sarah's extempore cell at seven in the
morning, and stood before her, the avow-
ed agent of her captivity.
II have come to apologize for my
friends rough treatment Of last night"
he said, reclining languidly against the
wall, and crossing his gloved hands, one
with a very glossy hat in 1t, land to ex-
press hope that you have suffered no
Inconvenience from your temporary with
| drawal from home which you are ac-
customed to adorn. I, for one," he add
ed with low bow, SHOULD regret very
much to hear one word of complaint"
"This is your work them" said Sarah
bitterly; ut is as l suspected. Tell me
| what my brother wantsT
II would say a fair redress for the
Injury which you have done him. Your
grandmother is rich, and will leave you
all her money. And your only brother,
man of many admirable qualities
| will be left to drag on his life In indi-
gence, and to die in utter abjectness Of
spirit, without you assist him as fairly
and literally as a fond sister should do.
Thomas, who is in difficulties, wants if
teen thousand poundsv'
Sarah drew a sudden and deep breath,
but did not reply. The thin face, of the
woman stopping over the FIRE peered
round at her, horrible in its eagerness
and greed
"Fifteen thousand pounds only from
that immense fortune which must come
to you when old Mrs. Eastbell dies, the
simple conditions being that tho sum
must be paid at once, as your brother is
very poor, and there is a balance Of six
teen thousand three hundred and twenty
eight pounds lodged at your bankers, in
your name, for the convenience of a cur
, rent account"
"How do you know what money is
lodged in my name at the bank?'
Thomas tells me-that is all. He
sent me here with your check book-he
found that in your DESK too, he tells rue.
You have only to draw draft for the
amount, and you are free, Miss Eastbell.
| promised a friend Of yours that you
should be at Sedge Hill this evening.
Miss Holland will tell you everything to-
night" he said as he drew the check
book from his pocket and pitched it care
lessly upon the deal table that was there.
II have left everything for that young
lady to explain. 1t is story apart from
yours, and suits not my style of narra-
tive"
''This money is held in trust for an
other" she said "it belongs neither to
me nor to my grandmother"
"If to Mr.. Culwick, wei should say,
your brother Thomas objects to the title"
LET himw cried Sarah with sudden
outburst of anger.
"Am to understand them"
THAT l will not sign one of those
checks. Yes, understand that for your
friend. You may kill me-" she cried,
''but you shall not touch penny of Reu-
ben Culwick's money"
