Plotting of Georgiana

This was Georgiana's opportunity and she improved 1t. In her replies sne ohided the governess for the great care she was bestowing upon Kate's educa- ton. and kept hinting that it was not plea asing to Sir Cervais to have the girl. whom he had taken merely for time. to act as a companion for Ada. to be SO pushed forward-that the baronet was, fin fact, repentant that he had ever taken Kate up at all, and was con- sidering sending her back to Ireland.
 She also wrote to the lawyer. Mc- Kinley. urging him, if he wished to please her. to contrive some manner of removing Kate from the Vyner connec- tion-that while he did not want it known. such was the wish of Sir Ger yafs.
 Mckinley was the slave of the plotter and these things were hinted from time to, tune to Kate. who was filed with anger and distress. Her whole soul was filled with a desire and a determina- ton 10 become great lady. and now to be obliged to return to tho harsh penury and rude associations from

Grenfell's Advice

Make love to her." said Grenfell. T have tried to and she treats me with scorn." Run away with her by force: compromise her. I know a man in the west of Ireland who will be just your man--if you pay him well. He knows the girl and never liked her. He is jealous of her rise In life. I will write to him telling him to devise some scheme to aid you--he is fertile in rascally expe- dients-and telling him that you will re- ward Him greatly
 Grenfell wrote the letter and gave it to Adophus. Grenfell's idea was to get Kate out of the castle; she disliked him, but he calculated coldly that zwith her out of the way he could fasten him self upon Sir Within as he had fastened himself upon Vyner. One of Grenfelps 2 specialties was in picking out luxurious homes around England Into which he | could drop when he so pleased and run to suit himself

Kate Left in England

The manner of Rates becoming an inmate of the castle was this. The sudden illness of Lady yyner's mother called her to Italy where Mrs. Court cnay was then residing. Sir Gervais went along to conduct his wife and Ada was taken because her grandmother had expressed desire to see the child before she died.
 Georgiana went along herself. but sc contrived that Kate was left behind Sir Gervais being persuaded that the visit to Italy would be but short one and Georgiana artfully suggesting that it was Rates desire to be left in Eng land. Mile Helntzeman was left be- hind with Kate, and wrote letters to her patrons extolling the progress which her pupil was making in her studies and her constant growth in beauty and ac- cofnplishments.
 These letters were turned over by the easy-going Lady vyner to her sister to read, digest and answer.

Sir Within Wardle

Sir Within Wardle lived his bachelor life in lonely state at his great castle. He had been most of his life employed in diplomacy in foreign courts where much was overlooked if not forgiven in people of good breeding and high posi- ton. He spoke gently of the errlng, and though a man of the most rigid virtue himself was far from eensorlous with regard to others.
 This did not accord with the ideas of the straight-laced gentry of North Wales. and so the diplomat was let severely alone and spoken of as an immoral old roue' who has acquired for eign ideas"
 The Vyners, however. having seen rather more of the great world and being new to the region did not see anything the matter with Sir Within and delighted him with their nelghborly friendship. The great estate of Del radern was entaled. but Sir Within could saddle it with a large jointnre should he ever marry, and therefore 1t was the business of his heir, Mir Adol- phus Ladarelle, son of the banker of that name and a secretly disreputable sport" to see that his aged relative committed no such lndiscretion as mar rIage.
 This duty of young Ladareles be- come most imperative when. in the course of some years the beautiful, now accomplished and always ambitious Kate O'Hara went to live with her guaroian at Dalradern.

Kate Accepts Wisdom

But an event happened which relieved Grenfell and Adolphus, for a time at lest. from the necessity of further plotting Kate, while out riding, was thrown from her horse. with the result that she hung for some time between life and death from concusson of the brain. Sir Within was In agony until she became convalescent; then he took her to a watering place in Holland. Kates illness caused in her decided change of ideas. She had time to think while she lay so i'll:
 When she had left her grandfather, who loved her tenderly, the old man had begged her for a tress of her long. sunny hair but the wilful girl had petu- lantly denied him. When she had thought she was dying she had remem- bered this and had made an attendant cut off one long ringlet. to be forwarded to the old man, in case of her death
 Her living under the roof of Sir Within now appeared to her in a different light than 1t had before. So one day she frankly told the old diplomat that 1T she remained any longer under his care 1t must be as his wife. The old man hemmed and hawed, and refused her.

Story of John Luttrell

The Luttrells were very ancient fam fly and had been very great one. They were noted for their pride-so much so, in fact. that the term 'Luttrell pride" or proud as a Luttrell' had become proverbs in Ireland where the family had once been possessed of vast estates.
 They had other faults-such as being rather given to high living. and their political faiths had not always been corr sistent or long enduring. so that it was said the Luttrells in politics were more anxious to have a number of roads to travel than of pursuing any of them.
 John Hamilton Luttrell-who with hi5 son represented all that was left of the famly-had started out in life with every prospect of reaching distinction. He was fine scholar. brilliant speaker in the House of Commons, and had a consld- erable fortune left from the family in- heritance.
 He was in the full tide of his career in London when he became engaged to Georgiana Churtenay whose sister was engaged to Sir Garyais Vyner. The wedding was to be double one.

Third Peasant Marriage

Then one day there came to. Innish- more a tall. stalwart young man who called her cousin Kate, and announced himself as Harry Luttrell-not lost at sea, but returned after many adven- lures. The cousins began tp fight over who should have Arran, each insisting upon giving it up to the other--untit they finally compromised by getting mar ried and settling down upon the now prosperous estate. h
 As for grandfather Peter Malone. he was sentenced to transportation and the ship in which he was sent out was lost with all hands. Kate was with him 10 the last day he was onsIrish soil, and was preparing to go out to Australia to share his lot when the news came of his death. As for Tim O'Rorke and Adolphus Ladarelle they were caught running a cheating gambling place in PaSis and sentenced to the galleys.
 The fortunes of the Luttrel family began to mend after the marriage oe Kate and Harry. for the 200 years Were just up, and three times within that period a Luttrell of Arran had married a peasant girl. And if this don't break the Luttreil prde.' said kate when she accepted Harry. nothing ever will"
