CHAPTKIl X. (Continual.)
In the midst of the conversation, Par
on suddenly Interrupted her, and point
In to a box opposite. Mid, In a. low
voire, "Do jou see Mia Orler-n?"
She broke off In the mliJIe of a no
tence, bar face flushed. and, with an in
stinctive movement, he drew buck behind
the curtain. Arthur cart hl eye In the
direction Indicated, and saw Constance
leaning forward looking toward the
stage; betide her waa eated her uncle,
surveying the scene through a lorgnette.
Arthur alio drew further back, to escape
their observation.
"I)o yoa know Miss Orlcrton?" he Mid.
addrcasinc hlmsdf Indifferently to either.
"I have heard of her. Who doea not
hear of an helrea?" replied Mrs, Cattle
ton, Instantly recovering from her mo
mentary dieeomposare. "Of course you
It now her."
"Ye-e-t; oh. yes," answered Arthur, con
fusedly. -This, then, la the heiress" thought
"Mra. Castleton. "Wylle did not tell me
this, tlow strange! I wonder If they
care for each other!"
After thl she became a little thought
ful, the converatlon flagged, and Arthur
thought It time to take his leave.
"Perhaps Mr. rearhyddyn would honor
me with hi company at my little dinner
on Thursday," she Mid. turning upon him
her sweetest smile.
Arthur hf-altated: but Partons immedi
ately replied for him. "Oh. yes Penr
hyddyn, t am are, will come. If he hat
no prior engagement"
Arthur contested that he had none, and
no It was settled that he should dine with
Mrs. Csatleton on Thursday It was then
Monday. She rave him her hand at part
lnc the slightest preaiure of her finger,
nnd a look thst went thrilling to his
heart.
Arthur had descried Jerome and one or
two of Ma student friends Jmt enter the
plL A atrangr feeling of excitement pos
sessed him a feeling that rendered him
averse to be left alone with hit own
thoughts so upon leaving Mrs. Castdeton,
be Joined them. After a time he cast
bis eye up toward her box : she was gone.
Constance and her uncle were still In
their places: but standing near the en
trance, on th same side, and with hla
hack turned towards them, they could
scarcely recognise him. unless their rase
waa turned pointedly In hit direction
They wilt think It very strange behavior
on my part, if they have seen me. not to
bare paid my respects to thria, hut I can
not to-night," he thought.
At length the curtain fell upon the
flrst piece. He mw Constance and her
uncle rise, as tbourh they were about to
retire. Jerome at the aime time proposed
that they should leave the theater; be
went a little In advance of nit compan
ions: there wa a Urge stream of people,
and he soon became separated from them.
"When tbay emerged out Into the street
they saw him standing under the portico,
talking to a policeman. In a strange and
somewhat exrlted manner.
"What It the matter, Jeromer inquired
Arthur.
"I have ven br!" he cried, excitedly.
"Glrcel 8he stepped Into a carriage a
moment ago, with an old man betide her.
"Pshaw! you have been deceived by
owe fancied resemblance." cried Leland.
I)o you take me for a fool?" answered
Jerome, angrily. "I should know her
among a thousand by tba peculiar fashion
In which she wears her golden hair. I
n-uly caught sight of ber aa ahe stepped
lot the brougham, and there was such a
cr"a of people that the carriage bad
driven away before I could reach the
pot; and this mtn." pointing to the po
liceman, "either cannot or will not tell
xne to whom the carrlagt belouged."
I can tell yon, sir," said a man who
had come up to listen on of the numer
ous loiterers who hang about theater
door; "I called the carriage U ai Sir.
Orferaon't."
ntTAITRIl XI.
Visitors were rare at the Castle of
laU years, for BIr Launce lived a life oi
almost total seclusion, and the sound of
carriage wheel brought Daniel to the
Jor with a somewhat quicker movement
than was usual to him. The gentleman
alighted, and dltmitse-J the driver of the
chaise; and, giving Daniel hi card, re--nueatfd
him to convey It Immediately to
Sir Launce, On the card waa printed.
"Mr. James Wylle."
Mr. Wylle hd left Paddington by an
..i. in that mnrnlne. and. umn ar
riving at the station nearest to Pennr-
hyddyn. bad hired a cnaite ano oriveo
over to the Cattle. He had two motives
,.tln ttili loarner. In the first
place, ho had a certain game to play
with nlr launce. Ana, in im kwuu
fiflace, be waa desirous of seeing Penr
toyddyn. of reconnolterlng the country,
upon the cuance oi laniog upuu imurwa
g3on that might assist hi schemes.
The Drst of these game waa the mott
difficult, and the most important of all to
play for; upon that greatly depended tbe
uccet of the second, and the perfect
ratification of the last The first object
to bo attained wa to so far gain upon
Sir Launce' good will aa to become an
Inmota of the Castle for a day or two.
In tbl latter respect, Mr. Wylle over--rated
bis difficulties; tb dutle of hot
fjltallty were punctually discharged be
neath that roof,' and It wa not at all
neoewary to the reception of visitor
tiat it owner should car for bis so
ciety. No person entered Pennrhyddyn,
In the character of guest, without bed and
board being offered him.
Hut aa additional advantage, to be de
rived from hit tltlt had been tevealed to
Mr. Wylle since hit arrival In the country.
While waiting at the Inn for the carriage
to be got ready, he employed the time In
questioning the landlord about the prev
ent Inhabitants of the Castle and learned
from him that a young artist gentleman
had arrived there the day before. Mr.
WjU asked eagerly If be knew the vis
itor's name,
"It n, 3nir Trrrsrih. th hoitler. that
told me," answered the landlord. "I think
he Mid It waa some such name as Staf
ford." Here was a splendid discovery for our
schemer the very man he most desired
to meet with. No opportunity could b
more propitious for putting hit designs
Into execution.
Daniel carried the card up to Mr. Penr
hyddyn. who waa, a utual. In hit library
among hi books. The name of Wylle
was totally unknown to him.
Mr. Wylle. with a low bow, eoftly en
tered tbe room. Sir Launce rote cau
tiously, and bade his vltltor be seated,
wondering, meanwhile, what business thlt
repulslr looking stranger could have with
him.
"I have to apologlie. Sir Launce, for
Intruding upon yonr privacy at what is,
perhaps an unsettonable hour," began
Wylle, "and I thould at least have waited
until the morning before I presented my
self, had not tbe time at my dlspotal been
so extremely limited. I ttarted from
London this morning. Not to keVp you
In suspense. I am a relative of Mist
drier-son's on of the executors of her
mother's will with which lady I hare
recently and accidentally heard that your
son, Mr. Arthur Penrhyddyn, is about to
form an engagenveut"
"Such a thing has been spoken of." re
plied Sir Launce, coldly; "but nothing
haa been definitely arranged."
"Precisely. 81r Launce," replied Wylle:
"nothing could be arranged without my
concurrence."
"Am I to understand that you are op
posed to tuch an alllancer inquired 8lr
Launce, freetlngly.
"Oh. no. Sir Launce," hattlly replied
Mr. Wylle; "there Is nothing that would
give me greater pleasure than tb honor
f ....K an attUnm. I am related to Mlu
Grlerson on the mother's side. We our
selves come of an ancient and nonoraDie
tock. although a foreign one the D
Solssons of France,"
Sir Launce started, and a trang look
came Into hit face at the mention of that
name. Neither tbe tart nor the look
waa lott upon hi vltltor.
"You have, doubtless, heard the name?"
he said, quickly,
"I have beard the name," replied Sir
Launce, with something of dlscompoture.
"I must discover why this Iron-looking
man betrayed such emotion at the men
tion of that name. It mutt be a power
ful reason to relax his features," men
tally observed Sir. Wylle. "You will,
therefore, perceive," he continued, aloud,
"that on one side Mitt tirl-Tton It of a
family not Inferior to your own. Uut th
name and th blood la all vie have left
to boatt of now. The Involution reduced
the I) Bobuons to beggary and exile.
Poverty Induced my cousin Arabella, Con
stance's mother, to accept the band of a
rich man of low origin, a match which,
through the remainder of ber life, she
never ceased to deplore, llut I perceive
that you are still at a loss to comprehend
th precise motive of my visit. I will ex
plain myself, without further delay, tou
hav been. I understand, already waited
upon by Mr. Itobert Oriersou. Now, I
mutt Inform you that although, as I have
aid before, I am Joint executor and guar
dian, I bav never one been consulted
upon the aubject, nor even directly In
formed of the proposed eyeot. Under uch
circumstances, I considered It my Impera
tive duty to wait upon you, In order that
I might underttand the precise ltuatlon
of affairs." , ,
The matter It left entirely to tb
choice of my son," remarked Sir Launce.
"II writes me that tbe young lady Is In
every wsy fitted by beauty, mannera and
education to become tbe future mlttreas
of Penrhyddyn; but no formal proposal
ba yet ben mado by him. Aa I before
said. If you or any of the rest of the
family see th leatt objection to sucn a
proposal. I "111 at once telegraph to my
ton that all I broken off."
"But Mlu Orierson holds th mortgage
deeds of the eetate?" cried Wylle, wbo
could not forbear putting thl extreme
test to hi bot' tlncerlty.
"Mr, Wylle," antwered Sir Launce, ris
ing from hi seat and drawing himself
up haughtily to his full height, "that
would not make tbe shadow of a difference
In my view. If I cannot preserve the
1....1. nf m ancestor with honor, let
them go. I mak no humiliating bar-
The stoical pride of tb man kindled a
spark of admiration even In the cynical
beart of Mr. Wylle. Although tbe main
object of hi Journey wa to break off
th match, yet now that be perceived bow
easily It wa to be accomplished, he pre
ferred a little delay. It did not suit bl
purpose to at one quit Penrhyddyn ; and
wero he to take tbe owner at bl word,
be could bav no possible mollv to pro
long hi (tay.
"Dut," continued BIr Launce, "upp
wa dfr any further discussion until the
morning. Yon mutt be weary wllh your
Journey, and I expect n letter from my
son by the flrtt mall to-morrow, which
may materially affect the position of the
case. Moreover, I detlre, after wlt I
hare heard, some little tlmo for rellectlon.
If you will accept the hospitality uf Penr
hyddyn during your stay, I shall be most
happy to afford It to you."
Mr. Wylle vxprvMsed htt thanks for the
offer; and Sir I.auur summoning Daniel,
told him to conduct the guest to certain
npartmenta, and to is that he wat prop
erly cared for. Then by n dlttaut bow,
and a wave of the hand, he indicated that
the Interview wss over.
"Perhaps before another six months, I
shall be stated In that chair, Sir launf,"
muttered Wylle, Inaudtbly, at he followed
the old servant ; "then It will be my turn
to condescend and to smile, llut I won
der where Stafford Is, I suppose he hat
not left, lly the bye," he tald aloud,
turning to hla conductor, "have you not
a gentleman, an artist from Londou, stay
ing hcrel"
"There be such a one staying here," na
awrred Daniel, shortly. "He was In the
picture gallery a few minutes back."
"Have th klndnet to show me th
way to the picture gallery I"
With a grunt of UUiatltfactlon for th
servant was no more agreeably Impressed
wlrh Mr. Wylle than was the msster
Daniel led him through the long corri
dors that conducted to the galltry.
Stafford waa rapidly sketching the por
trait of Rleoaor de Sotisons; a water
color drawing of the head of Circe lay
beside blm. '
"Mr. Stafford." Mid Wylle, approach
Ing him, with hit softest tmllr. "I am
delighted to renew your acquaintance;
you will doubtless remember meeting me
at Harley street."
Stafford did remember him. perfectly
well; but like everybody else bo came In
contact with the gentleman, it waa not a
cherltbcd memory.
"He has come down here to settle the
prellmlnsrlea for Constance's marriage,"
waa his first thought; "perhsps, even
now, I shall arrive In I.ondon too late."
This thought did not conduce to a cor
dial acceptance of Mr. Wylle'a advance ;
but before he could make any answer to
hit greeting, an exclamation of astonish
ment suspended the words and carried his
thoughts Into another cbannel.
The exclamation came from Mr. WylK
who waa gstlng upon the picture of Circn
with such an expression of unaffected
amaiement as had never before been be
held upon that crafty and usually emo
tlonles fsce.
"How could that picture hav come
here?" he Involuntarily ejaculated.
"Do you know anything of It?" eagerly
Inquired Stafford.
"Do you not recognli the wonderful
likeness to Constance Orierton?" erlsd
Wylle.
A chill ttruck to the young man's heart
at thl confirmation of hi own thought.
Wyle could not for a time remove hit
eyes) from tbe picture, and while h gated,
busy thonghts were teeming In hi brain,
new schemes, new combinations, new ad
vantages to b gained by this discovery.
From Circe bit eyes wandered to that oth
er atrange face beside It. That, also,
seemed to excite bis curious attention.
"Wboae portrait I that?" he asked,
turning to Daniel.
"One tbat'a got no butlneM to bang
there T growled the old man ; "but willful
people will have their own way, and go
on a' tempting of Providence, until It'
too late. And that be your teamed peo
ple, too, wbo fanclet they know every
thing. Thank heaven, I ain't learned!
Yes, Madame de Solaton. after nigh upon
two hundred years, you've got among the
family at last. And wbo on earth shall
help It now? For the old Penrhyddyn
will pass away, aa surely as this day's
patting now."
Tears dropped rrom tno oiu man s eye
as he tpok those word; hey were th
outpouring of thought which haunted
blm night and day.
"What name waa that you said?" cried
Mr. Wylle, eagerly. "Did you ay De
Solnsona? You called that portrait Kteo
nore de Solssons. What do you know
of It?"
"What I know of It I shall keep to my
self. I don't tell family secrets to stran
gers. If you want any Information, you'd
better atk Sir Launce," replied Daniel,
surlily, for be wa vexed with himself
for having aald so much.
"Look here. Tell me tbe story of that
picture, and I will give you a sovereign,"
ssld Mr. Wylle, taking out his purse.
Daniel stood looking at him for a mo
ment, and at the sovereign held tempt
ingly between his finger and thumb, with
an air of supreme disdain. 'And you call
yourself a gentleman, I suppose?" he said,
at latt. "A pretty tort o' gentleman that
would tempt a servant to tell bl master's
secrets! You've made a mlttak thl
time, (r; w don't do them thing at
IWbyddyn."
A servant refute a bribe! In all hi
London experience Mr. Wylle had never
encountered tuch an extraordinary phe
nomenon I With a hrug of the shoulders,
and a malicious grin, he put back the
sovereign into his purse without a reply,
"Mr. Stafford," he said, turning to the
painter, who bad been watching tbe scene,
"when you have completed that sketch,
would you favor me with a few minutes'
private conversation? I have something
of Importance to tay to you. I have not,
a yet, tbe (lightest Idea a to where my
rooms are iltuated; but when you are ct
leisure, thl honeit man will, doubtlc, b
able to conduct you to me. Ilemembtr;
do not fall, or you may regrtt it."
Without waiting for a reply, Mr. Wylle
pasted through a door at the further end
of tb gallery, Daniel leading th way.
