"0HE Squire of Harnaby sat at one side of
the great hearth reading the Times,
which only reached Harnaby in the even
ing. His lady sat at the other side
playing patience. Two shaded lamps
made two little oases of light in the darkness.
Otherwise the vast room was In darkness, except
when the blaze of the fire made an incursion into
the gloom, and showed that what had seemed
deeper shadow was massive oak table side
board. and lit for moment the portraits of grave
men in ruffs armor and fair ladies In courtly
costume staring proudly from the paneled walls.
Sometimes the freight fetched answering
CLEAN from some ancient weapon-a spear that
Harnaby had borne, the squire said at Agin-
court, or a sword that blunted at Flodden,
cuirass which had covered some cavalier who
fought for his king The room quiet, but
never SILENT for the burning logs cracked and
spluttered and the heavy furniture creaked with
the weariness of age, and the newspaper rusted
rs the squire turned 1t, and there soft Flap,
flap his lady played her cards.
They were dignifed, reposeful pair, in keeping
with the room. The squire large grave
man of about five and forty, looking more or
less than his years; proud man, mindful OF his
ancestors and just with the narrow justice OF those
who do wrong At least one would guess this
from his cold still countenance but his grave face
relaxed when he put down his paper and watched
his wife as she hesitated with a card in the air.
She, too, was cold looking; stately, handsome
lady OF five and thirty, with dark eyes and darker
hair; great lady, one would Judge from her look,
and above the display Of emotion. But her face,
too, softened when she glanced up at the card and
saw her husband watching her.
"Is the paper dull that you prefer to look at
me, Rupert" she asked. Her voice clear and
pleasant, and it rang in the lofty room.
''Yes," the squire owned. There is more to
look at in you than in the paper. Estelle" His
voice was full and deep, and less sombre than his
appearance. "But don't let me disturb your game"
"Oh!" she said, smiling, "that does not matter

up the light? The switch is just by your left
hand"
Tho electric light blazed out. The squire buried
his face in his hands, and the officers blinked
little at the sudden brightness. The faces of the
men were pale and troubled; but the squire's wife
stood calm and smiling and beautiful; and sud-
denly tho sergeant gave sharp grunt.
"It's not the woman!' he cried, and the squire
sprang to his feet.
"Not the woman?" he cried hoarsely.
"No, sir The lady is trihe like her; but she
isn't the one we want. I'd know her out of ten
thousand--the other one."

woman"

The Estelle Lucas whom you seek is unfortun-
ately my cousin. You need not apologize, gentle
men, You have behaved with great courtesy and
kindness for which thank you. And now, if you
will excuse us have to apologize to my husband.
The officers left the room quietly Rupert, this
has been the hour of my life; the hour in which
have proved that you love me as l love you Per-
heps it was cruel of me. Dear it cruel! But"
she put her arms round him--"I will repay you
year by year and day by day, and hour by hour.
Forgive me, dear husband!
Dear lady of my heart!" cried the squire

She swept the cards together "What are you
thinking about Rupert?"
you, Estelle," the squire answered.
She raised her eyebrows. Then she rose and
swept across the hearth-rug in her stately way,
and sat upon the arm of his chair, and he put his
hand her shoulder 1t plain enough that
this cold-looking lady and gentleman had warm
regard for each other.
II will tell you If you wish, Rupert" she offered
The squire's hand tightened on her shoulder.

that afterwards I may be able to hold to you For

She wiped her eyes quickly and looked up.
Suppose 1 told you that--you would not be
able to hold me?"
The squires great frame shook.
