What Has Gone on Before
To Sir Oliver Traessilian, re-

Spanish Main, comes Peter Go

Because of personal enmity
growing out of land disputes,
both Peter and Rosamund's
guardian. Sir John kilIigrew,
oppose the marriage. Incensed
at Sir Johns reference to him
as pirate" Oliver engages
him in a duel. His young half
brother, Lionel, awaits his re-
turn, anxiety tempered with
speculation as to how divers

tunes. Oliver, he realizes, ac-

tunes. Oliver, he realizes, ac-
cumulated considerable wealth
through his adventures on the
Spanish Main.-NOw go on with
the story.
CHAPTER n-COntinued
A ND meanwhile Lionel had
II remained at home taking
his ease. He loved his
ease. His nature was inherent
ly indolent; and he had the
wasteful, eXtravagant tastes
that usually go with Incidence.
He was not born to toll and
struggle, and MOI e had sought
to correct the shortcomings of
his character in that respect.
Sometimes he wondered what
the future might hold for him
should oliver come to marry.
When his thought did turn to it
in momentary uneasiness he
would abrutly dismiss them
with the reflection that when
all was said Oliver loved him
and Oliver would never fail to
wants.
In sundoubtedly he was fully
justified. Oliver was more
parent than brother to him.
When their father had been
brought home to die for the
wound dealt him by an outraged
husband-and a shocking spec
tacle that sinners death had
been with it's hasty, terrified re-
pentance-he had intrusted
Lionel to his elder brothers
care.
AT the time oliver was seven
teen and Lionel twelve. But
Oliver had seemed by so many
years older than his age that
the twice-Widowed Ralph Tres
silian had come to depend upon
this steady, resolute and mas
terful child of his first marriage.
1t was into his ear that the
dying man had poured the
Wretched tale of his repentance
for the life he had lived and the
state in which he was leaving his
affairs with such Scant provision
for his sons.
For Oliver he had no fear.
His anXieties were all for Lionel,
whom he also judged with that
same penetrating insight Vouch-
safed a man in his last hours.
Hence his piteous recommends
ton of him to Oliver. and
divers ready promise to be
father, mother and brother to
the youngster.
All this was in Lionel's mind
as he sat musing there, and
again he struggled with that
hldeous insistent thought that
If things should go i'll with his
brother at Arwenack, there
would be great profit to himself;
that these things he now en-.
joyed upon another's bounty he
would then enjoy in his OWE
right. A devil seemed to mock
him with the whispered
sheer that were Oliver to die his
own grief would not be long
lived.
SO wrought up was he by the
Welter of his emotions. by that
flrce strife between his con-
science and his egotism, that he
came abruptly to his feet, cry
upon his lips
Wade retro, Sathanas."
Old Nicholas, looking up alb.
ruptly, saw the lads face, waxen.
his brow believed with sweat.
Master Lionel. Master Lion.
ell he cried, his small. bright
eyes concernedly scanning his
young masters face.
Lionel mopped his brow.
Sir Oliver has gone to Ar.
wenack upon a punitive bust
ness said he.
An what be that, zur?" quoth
Nicholas.
He has gone to punish SIR
John for having maligned him"
