CHAPTER XVII.


A Picture in 1.-THE Ladies' Field"
The day after the operation on Sir
Mark rockingham the doctors were
hopeful. On the third day they were
anxious; there was a decided change
for the worse. A week later the mas
ter the master of Draycott Hall passed
away in the presence of his wife and
son. His last words, as he lifted his
death-glazed eyes to the young mans
fearful face, were, Forgive me, Har-
old-forgive me-"
Mother and son stood in the death
chamber side by side, and in the hour
of their grief thought only of the dear
one who had been taken from them.
AS the master of Draycott Hall
yielded his last breath, the dawn had
broken over the Kentish hills. Harold
Buckingham, wearied with the long
nights vigil, went out into the
grounds.
1t was only as he looked out over
the glorious old park, and far beyond
to the green pastures that stretched
away into the distance, that he realiz-
ed all that his fathers death meant to
him.
The home that had been his from
childhood would be his no more.
With the last breath of his kind and
loving father who had passed from
the worlds sorrows and would know
grief and pain no more, the heritage
of the Brettinghams had passed to a
stranger-to stranger who was of
their blood, but whose very name was
a reproach to them.
He would obey his fathers wishes
in everything, but it was bitter blow
to him to know that when he and his
mother quilted the old place they
would in all human probability never
place foot within it's walls again.
He wondered what would happen.
What sort Of company would the new
baronet gather around him in the old
place? What would the tenants think
of the new master?
How charitable his thoughts might
have been under other circumstances,
it was impossible for him now to feel
anything but resentment against a
man who, being a rockingham, had
sunk to the level of a felon-a man
who had come from a convict jail ia
claim an inheritance that had passed
in honor from heir to heir for centur
les.
He hoped, he prayed, that the bitter
shame of the truth might be spared
them, that this chapter in the history
of their house might remain forever
hidden from the knowledge of the
world.
He had discussed the future with
his mother while his fathers life hung
in the balance, and they feared the
worst.
His mother had not seen Mark Bret
tingham, and prayed that she nigh,
be spared the pain Of meeting him.
| He would have right to claim the
Hall and enter into possession Of Il

TO leave It immediately after thu

The notion that meat is necessary
for real strength and the foundation
of solid flesh is no longer as prevalent
as formerly.
Excessive meat eaters are usually
sluggish part of the time because
they are not able to fully digest their
food, and the undigested portion is
changed into what is practically

blood and nerves, thus getting all,
