DOOMED. By WIJ.LARD MacKENZIE m eQH36eeQeaaQi CHAPTER VI. (Continued.) "Look there!" he said, In a whisper "there be hi" "Whor Inquired Arthur, directing his yes to the spot Indicated. "Wylle iind hi wife l" Ho was a tall, thin, bony man, with tow-colored hair cut close to hit head; n low, narrow forehead, no eyebrows, grceolsh-grey eyes, a long, thin nose, turn ed upward at the end. so as to disagree ably expose lery wide red nostrils; a lone upper Up, over which the lower one pro truded ; a wide mouth, like a ullt ; an iron jaw, that looked aa though the teeth were always clenched; and a pallid, clammy akin, with a carrotty tince in It, completed the portrait. While Arthur was surveying him, he was handing a class ot lemonade to a lady whom he had Just brought In from the ball room a woman with black hair dre-wd In plain bands, and screwed up behind Into a top-knot, secured wltn a Spanish comb; heavy black brows, that almost met over small, deeply sunken eyes, a sharply cut nose, thin mouth, long chin, lantern Jaws, and a bilious complexion. A more repulsive pair It wouM hare been difficult to find; and so thought Arthur, upon whom they produced a most dis agreeable Impression. "I suppose," said Mr. Grlerson doubt fully, "that I ahall hare to Introduce you Co them; but, as I're told you, they are violently opposed to your marriage with Constance not that he'll show It to your face. Mr. Wylle," he said, adranclng to that gentleman, "this Is Mr. Arthur Tenr hyiMyn Sir Launce Tenrhyddyn'a son; and as there seems to be some probabil ity that ha may be ono of the family be fore long, I think yon ought to know him." "Delighted to make the acquaintance of Mr. Penrhyddyn." answered Mr. Wylle. witbm a grin, that disclosed a row of sharp, white teeth, which looked as though they would derour him. "Allow me to Introduce you to my wife. Mrs. Wylle Mr. Arthur Penrhyddyn." The billons complexion turned yet yel lower, and the lips more bloodless, while a look of undisguised hatred flashed from underneath the heary brows as she ac knowledged the Introduction by an almost Imperceptible bend. I trust that yon are enjoying your self. Sir. renrhyddyn," he aaid. "Are yoa a volunteer?" Arthur replied that he was not "Ah. you should he. Every gentleman should enroll himself In the movement. If It were only to encourage the masses. Depend upon it that it la the grandest movement of modern times." "Well, what do yoa think of hlmT In quired Mr. Grlerson. when Mr. Wylle and his spouse left them alone. "I think him the most horrible man I ever encountered," answered Arthur. Tie eeems to be great upon volunteer subjects. What I her "lie caret no more about volunteers than I do," answered the old man, con temptuously. "Hut whatever1 going on, he always pushes himself forward. As to -what ha is, that's more than I can tell, lie's 'something in the city,' aa the phrase goes; but whether It's law, or stock Job bing, or any other Jobbing, ho keeps to himself." Constance, by her own wish, retired early from the ball. As Arthur conducted her to the carriage. Mr. Grlerson Invited him to dine at the Ilall on the next day. "And then we can hare a quiet chat together, and come to some understand ing about the future," he whispered cor dially pressing the young man's hand. CHAPTER VII. "Well, Con, what do yon think ot your future husband?" Inquired Mr. Grlerson, as they rolled homewards. "I think Mr. renrhyddyn an extremely agreeable young man," she answered, eva sively. There was a pause for some min utes. Then Constance, laying her hand upon his arm, said falteringly, "Uncle, dear must this be? This marriage?" "Why, have you any objection to It?" "I like Mr. Penrhyddyn too much to be come his wife without love," she answer ed. In a low voice. "Without lovet" reiterated Mr. Grler on. "Well, I ahould have thought he was a young fellow that any girl might fall In love with." "True a ty girl whose heart was free. Uncle," she. aaid, drawing closer to him, and clasplnp on of his hands In both her own, "I should have told you all this be fore, but I had not the courage not from fear of your anger, but from the fear of paining you ; but the time has come when It must be ld." "Why yea don't mean to say that you've fallen In tore with any of tboss bewhlskcred. swells or listing ninnies that's been lifter you or, rather, your money 7" crjftl tie old man. "Oh, dear, no, uncle," she answered, hastily; then. In a low, hesitating tone, she added, "Do you remember Mr. Staf ford r "What, thc painter I Oh, thafa It, Is It?" he axclafoed. 'Then my suspicions were true, an there was something be tween yon and; him. Wall, If I were a woman, I knov which would be my choice, and It vtouldn't be the painter." "Out, uncle diar, I've often heard you ay that although your wife was but homely looking, Syou would not, even la your .youth, haw given her up for the brightest Jftdy to I the land," aft said, win Btofl. "Confound It, Constance, It'a no good trying to twlit round wo In this wayl" burst out the old man. "Would you let all that splendid property go out of your hands for a mere fancy? Resides, It you refuse young I'enrhyddyn, It will bo his rum It Is the only hopo Sir Launce has left." At that moment, tho carriage halted bo fore the door ot HUborough Hall; the conversation waa not renewed, and soon afterwards Constance and her uncle sep arated for the night, each one a prey to gloomy and uneasy reflections. With th departure of the Grtersons the ball lost all iu attractions for Ar thur Penrhydyn, who left almost Immedi ately afterwards for his hotel. Constance had most agreeably !mpreaed him: and for upwards of an hour he lay back In his easy chair, picturing her face, and recall ing every word that had passed between them. With such visions was mingled a strange Idea that he had seen her some where before at least, there waa some thing In her features that seemed familiar to htm. lie went to bed and dreamed of her a weird, strange dream, which awoke him, and kept him awake with unpleas ant thoughts until daybreak. Although they did not arrive home un til nearly four In the morning, Mr. and Mrs. Wylle did not retire to bed. but sat themselves down to an Important discus sion. "If we are not careful, this girl will put an end to all our hope by marrying that boy," said Mrs. Wylle. ot yet not yet," answered her hut band, viciously gnawing his nails. "I believe that old Idiot Grlerson has brought this about purposely to thwart me; but he ahall not succeed, do what he will. In three months more I'enrhyd dyn would have been ours. Brer since Matilda's death I have been tolling and scheming to scrape together money for that purpose. Sir Launce can do nothing to save It, and do you think I will be thrown over by an old Idiot and a spoony boy and girl?" "He It struck with her: but I do not believe she reclprocatea the sentiment." remarked his better half. "If we could get her out of th way, what could he do?" "Get her out of the way. What do you mean?" "Supposing we could marry her to some one else?" "To whom?" "Ton remember Stafford, the drawing master; I firmly believe that she was In fatuated with him; and. Judging from her behavior to-night, I should say Is so still ; for a girl ot 18 would scarcely have treat ed the advances of so handsome a man aa young I'enrhyddyn with such marked coldness It she had not a fancy for some other In her mind. Now, If such be the case, and we could bring the match about, not only would Penrhyddyn fall Into our bands, but Constance would forfeit her fortune, which would be another clear gain of ten thousand pounds to us." "That Is well thought of," answered Wylle, meditatively. "Hah t" he went on after a pause; "is It likely that she'll forfeit a splendid fortune for the sake of a beggarly portrait painter?" "Women have done as stupid things aa that, for less attractive men than Staf ford," answered his wife. "I have made my proposition ; find this man Stafford and use every means of bringing him and the girl together again. Sir Launce Is a proud, stiff-necked man, who Is only half reconciled to this match. Could but the slightest shad ow of autplcion be cast upon her, ha would break It off, were the act hla In stant destruction." "Then the old story would suffice for that, and save the trouble of new compli cations. "It might suffice as far aa I'enrhyddyn It concerned, but it would do nothing to wards the forfeiture of Constance's for tune. We must manage to kill the two birds with one stone. There are two things to bo done ; first, to bring about a meeting between the girl and this Staf ford, to compromise her in the eye of Arthur Penrhyddyn, and thus render him averse to the match; and, secondly, to bring about a marriage between her and the painter." "Ilut It will not do for you or I to be directly mixed up In aucb a plot. You know that old Grlerson has a long-standing grudge against us already; that be Is suspicious ot us; and were he to discover that we had been the concoctora and ex ecutor ot such notable devices, he would proceed against me for conspiracy, and thus not only thwart all our schemes. but ruin me In society." "Well, If you do not caro to act your self, surely, among your numerous shady connections In the city, you can find some tool to serve your purpose," aaid the woman. Wylle thought for a moment, biting his finger nails fiercely. Suddenly his face lit up with a peculiar smile. "You hare thought of some one?" said his wife, who had been watching hi face. "Who Is itr "A woman, and a clever one, too; one who would wheedle his Satanic Majesty himself," waa the reply. CHAPTER VIII. nilborougb Hall waa an old-fashioned mansion, embowered In evergreens, ap proached by a winding carriage drive, and surrounded by a parklike lawn. It had formtrly belonged to a good old country family, but Its last descendant ftll upon evil days. Th Hall waa put up for !, and Constance's father, being on tho look out. Just then, for a handsome country residence, at tho earnest persuasion ot hU wife, bought it. At -I o'clock In the afternoon upon the day after the ball, I'ltrle Itobcrt waa enjoying a nap In n snug llttlo room upon tin- ground floor, which being plainly fur nished, he had taken a fancy to; and It waa hero that he took hts dote, and read his newspaper. Presently he was Inter rupted by the entrance of Constancy, with nn anxious look upon Iter countenance. "Am I disturbing you, undo dear?' aho cried, with tho door In her hand. "No, my dear; come In, come In," an swered the old gentleman, rousing himself with a shake. "What Is the time? Tour o'clock, eh l Mr. Penrhyddyn will bo here soon." "It Is about him that I hare come to speak to you. I am more and more con vinced that the union jou propose It tin possible," she answered, gently, but firm ly. "For goodness ike, child, don't sty that I" he cried. "You know the worry I had through so many months, until I hit upon what I thought such a capital plan. Oh, dear I oh, dear! who would hav the car of women? You never know how to take 'em, or what will pleat 'em. or what to do with 'cm. Ilut what tun I to do about Sir Launce? What wilt he think of me after proposing th match?" "Hut, uncle dear, It will be no fanlt ot yours; It Is not you who have promised to marry hit son." she said, with a smile. "And Sir Launce will know enough of the world to be aware that It la very dltucdlt to be responsible for a woman' actions." "And o the poor gentleman Is to lot hts property?" "Suppose we were to offer to lend the money to pay off the mortgage, upon the security ot the estater "I never thought of that," answered the old man. "Ilut, no, that Is out of th queslon. The estate Is mortgaged for double It value; and as one ot th trus tees ot your fortune I could not consent to sueh a largo expenditure of money. If you won't marry young Arthur, Penrhyd dyn must go to the hammer, and there an end ot It." Uncle Uobert, although In domestic lit an easy, good-natured man, was sharp and positive In a business transaction; and Constance knew that It was uselea to argue with him, at least at the present time: and. with a sigh, she let th sub ject drop. A few words of explanation relative to the connection between Constance and Stafford are here necessary. When hs first met with her. It waa In hit capacity of portrait painter; she sat to him for her likeness, lltlng a man of tree and engaging manners. Uncle Uobert took a fancy to him. and when Constance's por trait was finished, he sat for hla own. He then proposed (hat Stafford ahould give his niece some finishing lessons In painting. Thus these two wer thrown much together. Stafford was handsome, fascinating and thoroughly gentleman. Constance was young, beautiful and romantic. They fell In love with each other. After a time. Uncle Uobert began to suspect how matters stood, and, roused to a sens of the dangerous position of his niece, at once dispensed with Staf ford's services, and at politely aa he could. Intimated that all connection between them must end at once. Her position In regard to Arthur was most delicate and difficult. That It waa In the character of a suitor for her hand that he visited the Hall was o perfectly understood that the mere act of receiving tbose visits was at least a tacit encour agement of hopes which th promise she had given to Stafford and the state of htr own heart rendered It dishonorable to foster. These and a hundred other thought coursed In rapid and painful succession through Constance's mind as she was dressing for dinner. And It waa with an aching heart and an embarrassed manner that she obeyed the summons of tho din ner bell, and descended to the drawing room. Arthur had arrived, and stepped for ward eagerly to salute her. Ilut her man ner was cold and distant. He conducted her In to dinner he endeavored to en gage her In conversation, but could only obtain monosyllabic replies. After dinner Constance gave tbem some music In the drawing room, or, rath er, him, for Mr. Grlerson fell asleep In an eaty chair, and snored lustily all the time. Constance was an excellent pian ist, had a sweet voice and sang with charming taste. (To be continued.) All Nleepsra. The old colored pnnwn nroae In hla pulpit and addressed hla Hock.
