NLY A FARMER’S
DAUGHTER.
By
MRS. FORRESTER.
C H A P T E R V I.
Most o f tho guests had toft Haaell
Court; and only Lord Harold Erakine and
H r . La March ant remained. I t waa tho
fourth day after tho ball, and Mr. Hast­
ings waa alone that evening. A t seven
o’clock he «trolled toward the wood«. Ho
told himaelf he hoped he ahonld not meet
Mia* Byre; It would be bo awkward, 06
unpleaaant; and yet he went in the direc­
tion that ahe alwaya took on her return
from the cottage, and at the very hour he
lra etf ahe ahonld pare. When Errol aaw
W inifred coming along alowly and aadly
through the woo da he coaid no longer
•conceal from himaelf the delight he expe­
rienced at seeing her again.
W inifred appeared nneonecione o f him
'onto ahe Came cloae to the gate, and then
■ahe looked‘up with an air of cool indif­
ference that might hare befitted, the beat-
bred woman in Europe. Errol did not
•open the gate, but put hia hand acroaa to
her. She affected not to aee it. “ Mica
E yre," he aaid, “ will yeu not even take
any hand?"
“ No, I thank yon," anawered Winifred,
■coldly; “ I do not chooae to be known one
•day and unnoticed the next.”
“ W hat do you mean, Miaa Eyre? I do
mot understand yon.”
“ I mean this, Mr. Haatinga; we have
.met several times, and I was foolish
•enough to Imagine that it was on equal
-terms until you reminded me by passing
me unnoticed with your high-born friends,
-that you were the lord o f the manor, and
1 only a farmer’s daughter.
IIMI m M jiai” ha aalii quickly, “ It ia im­
possible yoq should attribute motives so
false and mean to me.
, “ W hy impossible?" W inifred asked. “ I
know nothing o f you, Mr. Hastings.
H er self-command in this speech was
wonderful, for her heart was fluttering
tumultuously, as a woman’ s heart always
does when she is Saying a bitter thing to
the man she loves. There wus silence
fo r a moment, and then she said quietly:
“ W ill you let me paas, Mr. Hastings?"
"N o,” he cried suddenly and passionate­
ly, “ you shall not pass until you have
recalled those words.”
"Then I must retrace my steps,” W in i­
fre d said, looking at hia defiantly.

why you are so bitter and angry with me

*’ f «m not angry or' bitter," she quickly
replied, forcing back the rebellious tears.
-O n ly ---- ”
_ “ Only what?”
; "
“ Do not torture me, Mr. Hastings” ex­
claimed Winifred. “ It is cruel, unmanly
-of you. L et me go! I will not tell you."
“ But you shall tell m e!” he said, still
keeping hold of her hand, and there was
a dangerous light in his eyes that made
h er half afraid o f him.
“ I do not wish to tell you—you force
me to It!” khe cried, a
“ I will not atir from here except you
-tell me.’
W inifred’s -voice waa half choked with
•excitement as she answered: “ Then hear
It. I hate you! .You have baen cruel, in­
considerate, unjust to me.”
” 1 ? ’ said Errol.
“ Yea, you. You tried to make a simple.
Inexperienced, country girt care for yon,
-with your refinement ’ and fascinations;
«u d when yon succeeded you despised her
fo r her folly, and turned away from her
■contemptible simplicity to the woman
who, from her birth and station, was
worthy o f your real love.”
“ W inifred!
Miss Eyre!”
exclaimed
Hrrol, “ how can you have mistaken me
*o ? Do you Imagine there is anyone in
the world but youraelf for whom I care?”
“ Yes, for your betrothed, Mis* Cham­
pion, Mr. Hastings.”
“ I am neither betrothed to Miss Cham­
pion nor yét to any other woman,” he
■exclaimed, quickly.
“ Do not attempt to deceive me any fur­
ther,” W inifred said, with a flush of an­
ger. “ Your relations with Miss Cham­
pion can scarcely be doubtful, after your
opening tbe ball with her before all your
grand friends.”
"Misa Eyre.” be aaid, gravely, "w ill you
accept my solemn assurance that I have
not asked Miss Champion to be my wife,
and that I bave no intention o f doing so?
T h ere is only one woman in the world
th at I love, and I love her with all the
passion of my soul. Because she Is so
■dear to me, I am going to leave my coun­
try, and the borne for which I have
longed, and I am going to be a wanderer
again on the face o f the earth.”
“ Yon ara going aw ay?’ cried Winifred,
in a tremulous voice.
“ Yes, I am going away from country,
home and friends, because, being near
her, I cannot control my passionate long­
in g for her; I cannot te r my thoughts
from her, or bring myself to look with
love or admiration on any other woman.”
The gate was open now, and Mr. Hast­
ings had takei. Winifred in his arms.
“ M y darling,” he whispered, “ do you
know who that woman is?”
W inifred
waa confused, surprised,
ashamed, and yet withal a tumultuous joy
■overshadowed her whole being.
Then
this fairy tale ws| true, after - all, and
thie splendid, gallant knight was at her
feet in ell truth and sincerity.
“ W inifred,” he said, passionately, “ look

her so fondly, to tenderly, that she could
no longer doubt his truth. And then
there waa a silence, a long alienee, for

“ Miss E y r e f’ he said finally, “ 1

I dare not ask
your forgiveness, but you must listen
to me for one moment.
The first
time I saw you I loved yon, and every
time that we have met since I have loved
you more and more, until at last I almost
felt ss i f existence without you was im­
possible. I resolved to leave England—
to go abroad, somewhere where I should
be removed from the temptation o f seeing
as fcoarln* o f JW- But to-day, whed 1
saw you coming toward me, all my
strength failed me. Do you know thart
for centuries back my race have suffer­
ed for one rash vow? Time after time
they have sacrificed their love, their
hopes to it, and I dared not be the first
to break it by marrying one who, though
my equal, nay, my superior in *11 - else,
waa beneath me in rank. I mnst go away.
I must forget you.”
"Beneath you?" cried W inifred, with
flashing, indignant eyes—"beneath you,
Mr. Haatinga? You deemed Flora Cham­

“ The granddaughter o f Sir Howard

believing he heard aright.

Presently Mr. Hastings looked up and
said:

that yon will discontinue it.”

steps homeward, not lingeringly, not
hopefully, as he had come, but swiftly,
half mad with crushing despair.
C H A P T E R V II.
The next evening jnst as Krrol Hast­
ings and hia friends had finished dinner
a servant brought in a note to the mas­
ter. I t was from W inifred Eyre, and
*®»d as follows:
“ Yon will perhaps guess that only very
urgent need induces me to bold commu-v
nication with yon after—After what pass­
ed last night. Your words were over­
heard by M r. Fenner, an intentional spy,
whom a short time since I refused to mar­
ry. H e came to me this afternoon, and
threatens that if I still persist In my re­
fusal to become his wife he will publish
the story to the neighborhood. I ask of
yon to find some means of action that will
insure the silence of this man, and protect
me from a marriage which I dread more
than death. Mr. Fenner insists on my
answer being given in three days. I f you
have one impulse of generosity left, you
will help me.”
As Errol read the note an imprecation
burst from his lips that made both his
friends look up suddenly.
“ Why, Errol!” exclaimed Mr. Le Mar-
chant, “ what is the matter?”
Mr. Hastings recovered himself ain a
moment.
“ I beg your pardon,” he said, smiling;
“ I was rather annoyed at the moment.
A letter from a refractory tenimt.”
“ A h !” said Arthur L e Merchant, with
a smiling glance at the envelope which
lay on the table; “ lady tenants era al­
ways the most troublesome.”
A ll the evening Mr. Hastings seemed
absent and unusually silent, and when
tbe two other men went out for a stroll
on the terrace be did not join them. -
“ Excuse me for half an honr,” he said.
“ I have some business to transact, and
will follow yon.”
•
When they were gone he rang the be4L
“ Bend Letsom to me at opce,” and a
minute afterward the old servant came
harrying.
"Letsome,” said Mr. Hastings, “ do you
know anyone o f the name o f Fenner
hereabouts?”
“ Yes, sir,” answered Letsom. “ There’ s
a farmer o f that name lives two miles
from here, up at Chalk Farm.”
“ W hat do you know about him?”
’ “ W ell, sir, I can’t say as I know much,
