CHAPTER XVI.
A Terrible Moment

At that time Sir Henry Clinton was
in the prime of his life; but he was
not striking parsonage in appear
ance, for all that he was bemedaled
and gold-laced. His face, refined
enough, was rather insipid, his slight
ly dished nose giving it a flat appear
ance. He was dressed in full uniform,
the single epaulet on his left shoulder
indicating his high rank. His small
hands were almost covered by the lace
cuffs that fell over them. He possess.
ed the effectation of the times, bowed,
simpered,. and took snuff, and, there
being pretty woman present, he con-
stantly posed. Sir Henry Clinton was
more like an exquisite of fashion than
the general of an army.

chair, placing my back to the light;
and as Sir Henry advanced, Lowing and
simpering, l made no attempt to rise.
| simply inclined my head and whip
ped the ear-trumpet to my ear. He
had been about to speak TO me, but at
my act he gave me one half frightened
look and turned aside to where Agnes
stood, white-faced and with heaving
bosom. He took her hand and pressed
it 10 his lips.
"Ah, Mistress Barrow, this is an
unexpected honor! thought you were
at the governors house"

God bless the girl! l saw her wit
was not lacking.
"Yes-yes! / see-I see! Deaf,
Why in Satan's name should any one
be deaf? It's damned inconvenient
for that Mrs. Melton Pom my soul
and body, but she's no beauty! Ha!
Yes!" He took side glance at me-
and at once turned away, as if he did
not relish the sight. Sir Henry was
certainly a man of taste in one re
spect. He knew pretty woman; but
he had little use for others. / sat
there and stared straight at him, max
ing my face as vacuous as possible.
"Yes-yes!" continued Clinton
without waiting for the girl to speak
"If I had known, I might have done
the business by letter. But you may
say to her that it is matter concern
ing the property of Cherry Hill. Yes
that will be excellent Tell her that

what figure she holds her interest In

1 do not believe that Agnes did un,
derstand, all he meant, but not so with
me. The matter was as plain as the
mans dshed nose. The lady to whom
he had given his heart and hand with
out the honorable accompaniment of
his name, otherwise Mrs. Badely, had
struck fancy for Cherry Hill. This,
then, was the important business
about which he wished to see my aunt.
I was intensely relieved to know 1t
was nothing directly relating to my
self, but it made me angry. The whole
matter had been cut and dried.
But did not forget myself. Agnes,
with power of acting greater than
mine, since she had no disguise, put
her mouth to the ear-trumpet and In
a loud voice stated the proposition.
Tell him I'll talk it over with Ly-
sander" l said to the girl, but speak
ing directly to Clinton. "Old Dressler
is dead, and his son is dead, and the
property is mine, evoa il the law

to 1t, get your pass and let's go.

his sentence there was a noise Of

demanded Of the gorgeous flunky who
appeared and saluted.
"Your excellency, there Is an officer
