The blood rushed to ThaddeuS cheeks at this. and he shook his head with sigh. But when he was told that it was she who had rescued him from Newgate and stood his friend when the Dundas crowd slandered him, his joy was unmistakable.
 Pembroke left his friend at last, promising to hurry to Somerset Castle and return at once with the welcome his father would send to the noble exile. But when Somerset again ap- peared at the Abbey he found that Lady Tinemouth had been seized with a hemorrhage and was rapidly sinking toward death.
 His wild and haggard looks showed that he had sorrows to add to those which he already found at the Abbey To the young mans amazement his father. instead of directing him at once to bring Thaddeus to the castle, had. when he had told him his story. com manded that he never see the Pole again. He had. so Sir Robert assert ed, once received a great injury from a man of that nation, and his resolu- ton was unalterable to have no deal ings with any of the race. But Mary Beaufort, when Pembroke told her of his discovery of his friend, exclaimed: "Oh, gracious Providencel Can it be possible that the illustrious Sobieski and my condemned Constantine are the same person."
 Thaddeus received the news of Sir Roberts decision with surprise and sorrow, but said to Pembroke: We must at this time forget our own troubles in those of the Countess. She can live but little longer. and earnest ly desires to see her daughter. Cam not you, my dear Pembroke, in some manner get the girl here that her mothers last moments may not be en- tirely devoid of the cancellations of her children?"
 q can and will" replied Somerset, and set out for the Earrs residence. Knowing that Lord Tinemouth would refuse to permit his daughter to go to her mother, he managed to surprise the young lady in one of her walks, told her that her mother was dying and asking for her. and begged her to fly with him at once to Narrowly Abbey.
 'Oh, yes," cried Lady Albina, take me at once. If Lady Sophia knew she would lock me up for a month. Oh, how wish to see my dear, oppressed mother"
 Hurrying her to a post-chaise which was in waiting. Pembroke brought the young lady to Narrowly in timet to receive her mothers last blessing. and the Countess died in the arms of that daughter from whom she had been so long parted Scarcely had Lady Tine mouth ceased to breathe when the Earl arrived in a towering rage, de- manding his daughter and threaten ing Thaddeus. But the young lady had been. at her own request, carried off by Pembroke to Somerset Castle and placed under the protection of Sir Robert. Thaddeus. thinking with hor- TOT that this blackguardr and llbertine was his father, quilted the house heavy with sorrow.
 He determined to leave England and seek refuge in America; and, to save money. he decided to walk to the near est seaport But he had not proceed ed many miles when the effect of the narrowing experiences through which he had passed so told on him that he fell in a faint and was taken into a neighboring house in the inclpient stages of @ severe illness. When sufficiently recovered he asked the name of the man who had succored him In his dire need, and was dismayed to learn that he was in the houes of Sir Robert Somerset.
 Although he had been forbidden to leave his bed. he dressed hastily and asked to see Sir Robert in the library. He began to express his regret at hay ing become an involuntary guest of the baronet. when Sir Robert command ed: "Stopl Was your mother Therese Sobieski?"
 She was" replied Thaddeus."
 And who was your father?" asked Sir Robert.
 q have too much reason to think that he was the Earl of Tinemouth," replied Thaddeus.
 "AlasT" cried the baronet. covering his face with his hands, Wretch that have been! Oh, Sobieski, I am your father"
 It was indeed as Sir Robert said. He and Tinemouth had travelled together, and had represented themselves as brothers of the name of Sackville. Sir Robert had been sent away from England that he might try to forget his love for girl who had been picked out for his elder brother. When his union with this young lady had seemed hopeless he had married Therese Sobieski But scarcely had he done so when letter from England in formed him of the death of his elder brother and brought his fathers con sent to his union with the object of his affections. He had returned to England and married her She had borne him a son and died But all his subsequent life had been saddened by remorse at his treatment of Therese.
 W nen BeHDIOke Hdu lOlu nun Ol tiAp presence of Thaddeus in England and rocounted to him the story of Villa now and spoken of the Countess Therese he had realized the truth, but for the sake of Pembroke resolved to maintain his secret. But the action of Providence in throwing Thaddeus. in spite of all precautions, upon his protection had unnerved him, and now, upon his knees, he begged forgive ness for the wrong he had done to the exile and to his mother.
 "Oh, my father" cried Thaddeus. "can you doubt my forgiveness? Know that, to the last. in spite of all, my mothers heart was yours"
 Sir Robert. sending for Pembroke, told him the whole story. and that un- selfish youth clasped his friend to his arms as brother. He even insisted on giving up his place as heir to Sir Robert; but Thaddeus said that he would bear the name of Sobieski and none other. and refused to deprive Penn broke of his heritage. It was finally arranged by Sir Robert that Thaddeus should accept a competence out of the estate, and the secret of his parentage remain a secret still.
 Mary Beaufort, on hearing that Thad- deus was in the house, greeted him with a warmth not to be mistaken. and as they had loved each other from the first a short courtship was sufficient to result in a happy marriage.
 Mary brought her husband large fortune, and many Polish exile haC cause to bless the generosity of the
