CHAPTER XIII.
Changes at De Wick.

When Matilda received a letter from
Anthony Lynn, she was Immediately
certain that the old mans conscience
troubled him in the presence of death
and that he wished to return de Wick
to it's rightful owner. Sir Thomas and
Lady Jeyery were of the same opinion
and the two ladies started for de Wick
at nee
Anthony Lynn stood at the door to
meet them. He looked i'll and frail,
but hardly like death, and when he
witnessed the delight of the ladies at
the changes made in de Wick, his face
grew almost young in it's pleasure.
Every room in the house was a fresh
surprise; for through all that was
venerable through age or family asso-
citation, and all that was valuable and
beautiful had been preserved. yet SO
much OF modern splendOr and worth
had been mingled with the old that
nished. Matilda said enthusiastically:
Mr.. Lynn, seeing that the de Wicks
had to leave their ancient home, | am
glad it has fallen to you-and | am
sure my father is glad, also"
Then the old man burst into that
thin, cold passion of weeping so sig
nificant Of age, and SO pitiful in its
helplessness. ut is your fathers do
ing, Lady Matilda" he sobbed. ut is
my dear lords wisdom. Pardon me
now. This evening l will tell you ALL

Then Matilda, pointing the pistol in
his face. said, You must light from
your horse, Miles Watson" The pis-
toll was dangerously near; Yupon's
rough order "to tumble" was not I'M
accompanied by threats, and Watson
thought it best to obey quietly, where
he could not resist. When Yupon had
bound him securely. Matilda took the
la-ern, and drawing from her girdle
the sharp hunting knife, she cut open
the leathern mail bag and turned the
light upon its contents. The small
private letters she hardly noticed. but
there were three ominous looking pa
pers closed with large red seals, and
these she instantly seized. They were
all directed to the sheriff of Ely, and
she felt sure they were the authority
for Stephens arrest. She took posses
sion OF the whole three, babe YupOn
set loose the horse, and leaving the
other contents of the riled mail bag
on the grass by the side of the bound
carrier, she slipped away into the
shadows and darkness of de Wick
chase.
There was still fire on her hearth,
an0 she pushed the dying logs to-
gether, and lit a candle by their blaze.
Then she opened n of the letters.
1t was a warrant for the arrest of
Squire Mason. The next opened was
a warrant for the arrest of Lord Fred
erick Blythe; but the third was. truly
enough, the warrant for the arrest of
Stephen de Wick, for treason against
the Commonwealth and conspiracy
against the life of the Protector. She
drew her mouth tightly, and tore the
whole three warrants across. and
threw them into the flames. When
they were ashes, she turned quickly,
Invested herself of her brothers cloth
ing, and put on her own garments.
Then she carried Stephens suit to his
room, and afterwards put out the can
die and went to bed.
