Warrington, the beloved brother who
was supposed to have been kiiied two
years before. He quietly discharges
Harry's Indebtedness and the two 60
away together happy as children.
But what revolution the appear
ance of this elder brother makes in
society's attitude toward poor Harry
He is no longer the favored child OF
fortune. Debts are nothing-every-
body has those. Nor is the Jail dis
grace. Many darling of fashion has
passed q night there. But to be "a
younger son! Society turns up It's
nose. Accordingly it is George Is
mond Warrington who now becomes
the idol while Harry is thrust into the
background. Acquaintance pass nlln
by. What right had the wretch to
masquerade as heir to the Esmond es-
tates? The story of his brothers res
cue from death is a thin one. NC
doubt the scapegrace knew all along
| that George was alive.
Had there not been the deepest ana
most enduring affection between the
| twins such a state Of affairs might
nerhaps have created a breach be-
tween them. AS it is they pay no heed
to society's cruel tongue.
George meets the baroness, the Cas-
tlewoods. and the Lamberts and I'M
mediately falls in love with Theo. He
also meets Lady Maria and after tell
ing her that Harry will now have no
fortune that far-sighted wording
breaks off the match OF her own ac-
cord. 1t was the money she wanted,
not Harry.
Our young rascal is jubilant enough
to be free and in due time casts in his
lot with the army. going with the Eng
lish to France and later with General
Wolfe against Canada. In both these
], campaigns he wins distinction which
reinstates him with his former frlends
II But he has had enough of London
| His mother is growing old and ne
will 60 to her.
; He arrives just as the colonies are
on the brink of revolution.
Madam Esmond is still stout roy
alist; but Harry, child of the young
err generation is Virginian, an Amer
lean. He joins General Washington
, the friend of his youth, and serves
under him through the war for inde
, pendence.
In the meantime George Esmont
/ Warrington, dressed in coat OF scar
| Ter, is serving the king in the com
r mand of General Clinton.
: The two factions clash, but the War
I rinctons contrive to meet and ex
, change greetings. Their politics ma,
v differ but their hearts are unchange'
f one toward the other.
Eventually George weds Theo Lam
bert and settles down In the old worlo
an English gentleman; but Gen. Harr
Warrington ends his days in Virgins
