though ashamed to confess it.
V O n o more question, and I have done.
AF strange story has recently been told
me by one who had no conception that I
Wib an actor in it. Before you found
me. I had been saved from the shipwreck
by a gentleman— I and my mother. We
Wen taken to a fisherman’s hut, laid out
i
for dead, and the gentleman was after­
wards told that we were buried next
morning. How came I, then, down by the

" I have lately heard the story myself,”
answered. “ The gentleman who saved

the bodies back to the coast and put ’em
where the tide would wash ’em back into
,the sea again.
They’ve a superstition

“ How horrible!” she exclaimed, shud-
;ring. “ But what had become of my
other’s body? Did you not see that?1
■ Just as I came up I saw what might
la v e been a body washed away by a
wave. Whatever it was, it sank directly,
■here was not light enough for me to
^e<‘ very distinctly. I was only just in
■me to save you.”
w “ Would to heaven that you had been
too late !” she exclaimed bitterly.
§ “ And now have you anything more to
■ay to me?” he asked, resuming his cold
■tern manner; “ because my time is valu­
able, and is not my own to waste.”
V “ Nothing more,” she answered, sadly.

"Adolphe de Soissons had but one child

tiently. "Whenever you put on that tone,
I fancy you mean mischief.”
"W hat is It you want of me?” he ask­
ed.
"You have a paper which will secure
Sir Launce Penrhyddyn the mortgage
money when it falls due. I want that
paper.”
Mr. W ylie laughed, and slowly rubbed
his hands together as though enjoying a
Joke. " A modest request, certainly,” he
said. “ In the first place, bow do you
know that the letter is genuine?”
"That I have ascertained for myself.
I called upon Messrs. G’room and Fry to
ask whether they were instructed to pay
o>er to Sir Launce a certain sum of
money upon a certain date. O f course, as
I expected, they declined to furnish me
with positive inform ation; but their man­
ner convinced me that some such com­
munication had passed.
Hand me over
that paper, and I will sign a bond mak­
ing over to you one-half the sum that I
may inherit under Mrs. Grierson’s will.”
“ A sum that it is more than probable
you may never touch,” he sneered.
“ A sum which it is more than proba­
ble I shall touch before the bells ring
this year out. Oh, I know everything;
I know that Constance Grierson wants
not a month to her twentieth birthday,
nnd that there is not the slightest chance
of her fulfilling the condition under which
she is to inherit the property.”
Mr. W ylie looked amazed; then bent
his brows and gnawed hi» nails again.
During the last few minutes he had been
revolving In his mind a desperate plan,
but as yet it was only half formed.
“ I f what you say be true,” he said,
slowly, “ we are both equally interested
in the girl’s forfeiture of her fortune.
Have you any love for Constance Grier-,
son ?”
“ I hate h er!” she cried, vehemently;
"and more than ever since I heard A r­
thur praise her beauty, and say that he
could have loved her had it not been
for----- ”
“ I suppose that it is quite a settled
thing that you are to be the future Lady
Penrhyddyn?” he said, observing her sud­
den break. “ Help me, then, In n plan
which, if successful, will be equally to
your advantage as to m ine; and that pa­
per shall be yours within sufficient time
to save Penrhyddyn.”
“ What is the plan?” she asked, looking
steadily Into his face.
" I t has come to my knowledge that
Constance, alarmed, doubtless, at the near
approach of the fatal day, is about to
draw a large sum of money— many thou­
sands of pounds.”
“ But can she do so?” Inquired Mrs.
Castleton.
“ Yes, with the concurrence of
her
gunrdian, who is so violently opposed to
the will by which she Is hampered that
he would do anything to nullify its pro­
visions. I find that there is no provision
In the will against such a contingency.
Unless I could prove that the principal
of the fortune was being reduced, I am
powerless to check
such expenditure
without the coalition of my fellow trus­
tee. There are many people for the for­
tune to be divided among, nnd Its dimi­
nution by some twenty or thirty thousand
pounds will materially diminish your
share and mine.”
“ And how do you propose to prevent
this?”
“ It can easily be done by our united
efforts. And, remember, the price of your
assistance is the salvation of the Penrhyd­
dyn estates. Refuse, and they are lost,
and you will never be Lady Penrhyddyn.
Which is it to be? Draw close, and
listen.”
She drew close to him, and he, bending
forward, began to speak In a low, earnest
whisper, to which she listened with pale,
anxious attention.
But that secret he knew inwardly, as
clearly as though she had written it
down.
“ Shall I tell him now?” she thought.
“ N o ; let no other dark shadow come be­
tween us on this day.”
The cheerful drawing room, with Its
blazing fire, and the table laid out dain­
tily for the wedding breakfast, revived
their flagging spirits. There was to bs
no honeymoon excursion; they “ were to
remain at Brompton.
“ Ours has, indeed, been a quiet wed­
ding." she said, as they sat by the firs
together.
"Y ou know my reasons, dearest; in tbs
present state of my father’s health and
affairs, I could not break so important
an event to him. But, hereafter, there
shall be another wedding— one worthy of
you, and of the future mistress o f Pen­
rhyddyn.”
What sweet music those last words
sounded In her ea rs! “ And it is I who
will save Penrhyddyn,” she thought. But
even with this feeling of triumph came a
revulsion.
“ I f W ylie should play me
false !”
“ You shiver— are you cold?” asked Ar­
thur.
“ Oh, n o ; but I fancied I saw a hide­
ous face in the fire,” she answered.
That evening a letter was forwarded to
Arthur from his own lodgings.
It an­
nounced that Sir Launce would be in
town on the next day.
