taking keen interest in all that concerned them.
The lights of Syvia's high dogcart flashed through
the quiet High street, and suddenly became fixed
lights in front of an old-fashoned red-brick house
which was the residence of old Lawyer Transom,
the squres confdant and man of business.
The Transoms had been the Thorndales' lawyers,
father and son, for generations.
The groom jumped down and stood at the horses
head while Sylvia alighted.
"You'd better get up and keep the mare NOV
ING" she said to the groom. "If Mr.. Transom's
not in l shall wait for him.
But Lawyer Transom was at home, and Sylvia
was ushered into his private office at once.
"NIiss Thorndae," exclaimed the lawyer anx-
iousy, 81 hope-I hope you have not come with
bad news. l am afraid the squire is worse"
Sylvia's face was very grave and the old lawyer
had at once imagined the worst He had not
stopped to think that in the event of crisis Sylvia
would have remained by her fathers side and
servant would have been sent to fetch him.
"The squire is not worse, Mr.. Transom," she
said. ~ have come to consult you on my own bust
ness"
"My dear young lady, why didn't you send for
me? l would have come to you at once"
II thought it best to come to you. 1t is about
Mr.. Franklyn"
The old lawyer looked curiously at Sylvia over

tor did not like. lie had thought it his duty to call
in a London specialist in consultation, and after
the great mans visit the squire himself had begun
to take gloomy view of his prospects of complete
recovery.
His health had begun to break two years previ-
ously, when Mrs. Thondale died in Rome from a
fever which she contracted in Naples Sylvia and
the squire came back to the Manor House in deep
mourning, bringing with them the wife and mother
to be laid in the vault of the Thorndales and from
this time the squire had lived at the Manor House,
shutting himself away from his old friends.
Sylvia had mourned her mother deeply; but
gradually her youth and spirits had asserted them
Selves and though she devoted herself to her father
and sought in every way to Danish the gloom which
had settled on him, she gradually returned to her
usual way of life, and out and about among
the people and in the homes of the humber tenants

weeks after this his idoized young wife lay be-
tween life and death, and there was not man or
woman in the little Buckingham town whose heart
did not 90 out to the squire in his trouble.
But youth triumphed, and six months later the
squire brought his wife and baby girl to the Manor
House, and they were received by the enantry with
great reoicings. After that the Thorndales divided
their time more equally between the country and
London, and the Manor House saw more of them
than it had ever done before.
No other son or daughter was born to the squire,
and Sylvia Thorndale grew up and won all hearts
by her merry ways and gentle kindness
Sylvia, as she grew in years and grace, became
the idol of the people, and in their love for her they
forgot that the day must come when the long line
of Thorndaes would end, for the squire had
male relatives of his name and his only child, this
beautiful girl of twenty, already promised
wife.
That was the thought that came to the vicar as,
at four o'clock on December 16 making his way
home along High street, he saw Sylvia dash past
in the high dogcart that was familiar sight in
Stoke Pommeroy.
He knew that the squire was i'll, and his friend,
the doctor, had told him in confidence that he
a little uneasy about his patient.
The squire was not an old man. He only
ffty-nine but there were symptoms which the doc

wanting to tell this for some time-ever since
Mrs. ThOrndales death"
"Ah, since your mothers death"
II said Mrs. Thorndales death, not my moth
er's death. Mrs. Thorndale was not my mother"
Lawyer Transom half rose from his chair in
alarm. He was convinced now that it Sylvia
who had suddenly gone mad. He wondered what
he ought to do.
'NIrs. Thorndale," continued Sylvia, "never knew
the truth She died believing that / was her daugh-
ter"
Mr.. Transom grasped the arms of his chair nerv-
ously. There was no longer any doubt to Syl

who had never been separated from her child since
it was born being mistaken as to her relationship
to that child was not one that sane person could
entertain for a moment.

"but you must. The squire has shown the
document my real mother signed when she gave me

gagged to Mr.. Guy Franklyn the eldest son Of Sir
George Franklyn large landowner whose estate
was near that of the Thorndales. He knew the en-
gagement was the result of genuine attachment,
and that the squire had given his consent to it. He
supposed that something might have transpired
which had caused temporary arrangement.
"NIy dear young lady," he said, ''you can, Of
course speak to me in the most perfect conf
dence"
81 am sure of that, and this is a matter which l
could only discuss with some like yourself alb
