degree OF authenticity, is not only not
wrecked, but not injured and is liable
to sail serenely into this port late in
the fall.

cargo was discharged and sent 70 the

short distance away. The captain, Lut
gen by name, then sold the schooner,
| ignoring the remonstrance OF Boiling, for
the sum OF Sl25. When questioned as
to the story he told Antonson, Boiling
became confused and when pressed prac.
tically admitted the facts told by the
mate OF the St Nicholas.

much on the future of the Lady Err
myntrude. Some thought her so ma
tured in her mind and manner that she
would marry Immediately; others. on
the contrary, held that she would hesi-
tate for a long time before she decided:
third party ventured on an opinion
that she would probably never marry
at all.
The names Of some persons, however,
were already intimated as the possible,
or even probable. partners of her life
and fortune. CASTOR, from his con-
nection with the lady. was always the
first mentioned, and yet his name was
almost invariably dismissed as that of
a man who had no thought of marriage.
Then there was Lord Fitz-Alb. He was
supposed to have a very good change,
being the great favorite of the Bishop,
and quite fit, though youthful, to be a
prelate himself. The Bishop was one
of Lady Ermyntrude's guardians, who.
it was understood, consulted him on all
occasions. Some thought that Hugo
Bohun would be the lucky man. Heir
esses. somehow or other, always seemed
to like him. though somehow or other
eventually they had hitherto never
united their fate with his. Hugo
Bohun was an ostentatious pauper, and
had theory that rich women liked to
marry paupers. particularly If they
were personages so comme il faut as
himself. The knowing ones, on the
whole. backed Lord warrener against
the field. 1t was circulated that Lady
Ermyntrude in one of her morning rides
had more than once inquired whether
Lord Warrener was in the park, and

to a crisis was a motion which he made
in the boys debating society condemn
ing the system of public education. Had
he not been the son of great noble,
who himself in his day had been one of
the bright ornaments of their institu-
ton, he would probably have been ex-
PEELED, but as it was he surrendered
and marched out with all the honors of
war.
Lord Bertram was such a complete
man of the world that he resolved
never to quarrel with his son, and he
endeavored by indirect means to guide
him in the right path and counteract
these evil tendencies. He thought OK
ford would remove them, and he sent
him there at an unusually early age
But the Oxford of CASTOR was no longer
the Oxford of his father, and Lord Ber-
tram, who had many things to think
about, was not sufficiently aware of
this. A spirit almost as inquisitive as
that which influenced the son had be-
gun to pervade the great university,
and it unfortunately happened that the
head of the house of which CASTOR had
become a member was one of those dis
tinguished divines who do not believe
in divinity OF this Socrates he soon
became the favorite pupil, and, consid-
ering his rank, his fine looks, his fine
temper and the reputation for talents
which was soon circulated about and
easily and eagerly accepted, Oxford
came to believe that 1t cherished in its
bosom one who In due season would be-
come its most brilliant ornament and
it's shining light.
Nevertheless, when he had exhausted
all the nebulous interpretations Of his
master, which would rove that things.
though entirely profane, were yet es-
sentially sacred, CASTOR engaged in a
controversy on the origin of evil, which
terminated by his somewhat abruptly
quitting his alma mater and Informing
his father that he should not return to
Oxford, which he looked upon as a nest
of sacedotal hypocrisy.
This was great disappointment to
Lord Bertram. who. however. was a
man never without q resource. and
Lord CASTOR was soon gazetted as an
attacl e to one Of our most important
embas xes. This seemed q successful
arrangement. Nobody could be more
popular than Lord CASTOR in his new
world. All the great ladies were en-
chanted with him and invited him to
their tea parties. He as called the
handsome Englishman, and then he

eled day and night, for he had been
country to leave it at an hours notice,
some correspondence having been dis
covered between the noble British at
tache and a revolutionary leader. A
secret communication was made to
Lord Bertrann, but it too was the in
terest Of all parties that the affair
should be hushed up.
There is nothing to be done for him
now but to push him into Parliament" J"
said his father. IF anything can get
the nonsense out of man it is the
House of Commons
The reader will have seen that this
last expedient had not been quite sue
cessful. Lord Bertram forgot his an-
noyance in the pressure of public busi-
ness. and Lady Bertram found sub
stitute for the skeptical confidence and
revolutionary principles of her step
son, with which she was beginning to
sympathize in the unfiinching ortho-
doxy and tra-Conservatism of his
parliamentary successor, urged as they
were by him with irresistible dialectics
and a torrent ofIwords which no impro-
visatore could excel. and to which Lady
Bertram in yelled ecstasy listened as
she would to a cataract in the Alps.
On certain day in every week 1t
came to be understood that Mr.. Joseph
Toplady Falconet would probably be
drinking cup of tea at Bertram House
and expounding his scheme Of regener-
alton for society which he was re-
solved to save, though he admitted its
condition was somewhat desperate. He
had already achieved success in the
House of Commons, where rapid sue
cess is difficult. Very shortly after his
entrance into that still fastidious and
somewhat incredulous assembly he took
up the Sabbatarian question, and the

CHAPTER VII.

One Of the most important neighbors
of Mr.. Falconet died about this time.
He was a German gentleman and
lived at Lavender Hill In mansion
situated In unusually ample grounds
for villa residence and approached
through lodges and by roads ingeni-
ously winding. Mr.. Hartmann was
bachelor; the arm a distinguished one
Hartmann Brothers. They were
bankers to more than one European
potentate. and whenever any member
of the royal or imperial families paid
a visit to England they spared one day
to be entertained at Lavender Hill with
much magnificence; banquets and balls
in colossal tents. and all the bowers
and groves Of Lavender resonant with
musicians and illumined with many
lamps Of many colors.
1t was understood that Mr.. Hartmann
had died very wealthy. and that the
bulk of his large fortune had been be-
queathed to his brother, who resided
in foreign capital. 1t was still more
interesting news when 1t began to be
rather authoritatively rumored that in
future England was to be the residence
Of the heir. and not only England. but
Lavender Hill.
In due time architects and builders
and workmen arrived at the spot, and
it was said that great alterations were
making there, with that disregard for
expense which became the proprietor of
means so ample Among other changes
it was said that library hau arrived
from Germany, rich and rare, and
which was TO be housed in a new
chamber becoming such treasures.
Mr.. Falconet had great respect for
the house Of Hartmann Brothers. and
took the earliest opportunity OF per-
sonally paying his respects TO the new
conner. His arrival among them was
rendered not less interesting by the cir
cumstance Of his not being bachelor.
He was a widower, but with an only

a large portion no doubt inspired by
the constituencies, but the members
who acknowledged these sentiments
We're, generally speaking, not of class
calculated to enthral listening Senates.
They were respectable men, usually
opulent, and their opinions on matters
of trade and taxation always COM
manded Difference, but they were quite
incapable of graphing with the great
questions that touch the convictions
and consciences of nations, and they
hailed with satisfaction a commanding
expounder of opinions which in their
hands they felt would have assumed a
character of feebleness which they
were persuaded was undeserved. These
men, sitting on both sides of the House,
rallied around Falconet. He gathered
other allies. With all his abilities and
requirements, Joseph Toplady Fal-
comet was essentially prig. and among
prigs there Is freemasonry which
never fails. All the prigs spoke of him
as of the coming man.
Lady Bertram always returned from
her daily drive at o'clock. and she
was always at home. There never had
been formal invitations, but the ini-
tiated came-a small, refined circle.
There were always few ladies of great
fashion, sometimes royal Duchess, an
Embassador, dandy or two-for Lady
Bertram could even command dandies
and half a dozen other men, native or
foreign, but of European celebrity.
When 1t was in his power, Falconet
was there. but that was uncertain, for
the House of Commons is jealous mis-
tress and will not grant success with
out due attention. The greatest compli-
ment you can pay to woman is to
give to her your time. and it is the same
with our Senate. A man who is always
in his place becomes sort of favorite.
But there were other means of COM

The ladies approached. Il was so

them, mot to meet Professor O'Galaxy

satisfied, but Blanche de Grey says no;
that will not satisfy her; she must go
further
IF Lady Blanche goes further she
will not get rid of her difficulties" said
Lord CASTOR.
