" "I'd much rather not lure anything to lo with It." he answered, bluntly. "Hut however. If It's nnmuty, I won't stand In your way;, jou sha'n't say I show jou any malice." Hut what I know would lie nothing In a lawjer's cjc. I Hud jou, a child, lying, apparently dead, upon the seashore; but fancying I can nee some riyniptom of life. I carry you home. A jou know. I wa a Coistguardsman at the tlm. When jou come round, you tell me that your name I Kleonore Sol nonv I find 'Kleonore S marked on your ivttlcoat. Vou tell me you hive friend In Hrltanny. Kleonore Is ttvi Frenchified n name for tuy mouth, and I oil you I?llen. and Solon become Ijiwon ; but nflor a time yon are called by my name, nnd pass as Kllen Jrnkln. Tint Is all I know." "'And that would lie mot Important rvldenee," she answered, quickly. "And bare you that petticoat by vou still?" "Yes," he answered, hedtatlngly, a though ashamed to confe It. 'Oue more question, and I hive done. A strange story tit recently been told me by one who had no conception tint I wa an actor In It. Hefoce you found me, I had been saved from the shipwreck by a gentleman I ami my mother. We were taken to a fWiermsn but. laid out for dead, and the gentleman was after ward! told thit we were burled next morning. How came I, then, down by the sea again, where you found me?" "I have lately heanl the story myelf," lie answered. "The gentleman who saved you was Sir Litineo l'enrhyddyti. Hut a noon aa he wan gone, the fitiienuen carried the bodies bark to the coast and put 'em where the tide would waiih 'em bark Into the sea again. Tliey've a so'perstltlon about drowned people, and don't like Vol In their houses." "How horrible!" she exclaimed, shud dering. "Hut what had become of ray mother' body? Did you not sec that?" "Jut aa I came up I saw what might have been a body washed away by a wave. Whatever It wan. It sank directly. Tliere waa not light enough for me to nen very distinctly. I was only Just In time to nave you." ' "Would to heaven that you had tcn too late!" she exclaimed bitterly. "And now have you anything more to aay to me?" he asked, resuming hi cold "tern manner: "because my lime la valu able, and la not my own to waste." ".Nothing more," she anwered, sadly. CHAPTKK XXII. On the second morning after Mrs. Gas "tleton's Interview with Jenkins, .Mr, Wy He was somewhat surprised to hear .Mr. Iig announce that that lady was In the outward office. "I have not come to draw any mora money, or to ask jou to tend me any," aha said, pushing aside the rlerk, and entering the room before Mr, Wylle had time to speak. She threw herself Into a chair, with Iter usual air of bantrring insolence. .Mr. Wylb turned green, which was his way of turning pale, and bit bis nails. He loth hated and feared III" vMtor, and with every succeeding Interview then feel Ings Increased. Her scornful, defiant Learing stuns him to madness. "If that U all you have come to tell inc. the sooner our interview I ended the Letter, he answered. "Have you the vanity to suppose that I have come here for the purpose of con trnplatlng and criticising your ugly fea tures? Ob, dear, no; I would not be no rude aa to so annoy my dear rela tion! How surprised you look! I repeat, my dear relation! It is a melancholy fact, I have discovered that you are my dear relation!" "What do you mean?" he snarled aav-ngely- "Are you going to vamp up some lying story to extort money from me?" "I try to extort money from you?" she cried, fiercely; "not If I were starving, although you have robbed me of many hundreds. Yes, strange as It may sound, I am your relation a distant one, I am thankful to say. With all your cun ning, James Wylle, and all your prying, j-ou never found out one Mcret of my life my real name Is Kleonore Solons." "Holssons?" he echoed, looking aghast. "Yen; of the Ilreton branch of the fam ily. My father was Adolphe de Hou ston " "Adolphe de Kolsson bad but one child a girl and she and her mother went lown In the Genevieve off the coast of Cornwall. Kvery soul perished. I know be family history too well to be deceiv ed by such a shallow, flimsy lie I I knew Adolphe well, and his widow, too! Kbe came begging to me more than once while who was In London. What put this trum Iery story Into your head?" She turned very pule at bta last wordi, and bit ber lips until the blood came, aud .there, was a baleful light In her eye as he spoke, "Take care what you say about jay mother she was a fond, doting moth er to me ! When the occasion requires, I can produce ample proof of my Identity. The only one I condescend to give you Is this" throwing a paper upon the table "my marriage certificate, upon which you will see Inscribed ''the fame 'of "Kleonore de Sobjsons. The Genevieve did go down oK the Ornish coast, and every aoul per -S5eeQeOQQQH5H3C3 m MacKENZIE nio still live, nnd Is ready to appear nnd give evidence. The clothes 1 wore, with my name marked on them, are also pre served." Wylle eagerly examined the document mat at him. After a minute's silent re flection, his face slowly cleared. "I have no Interest In denying jour claim," he said. In bis usual soft, hypocritical tone. "It will not take away one farthing from me. The claim of the Ilreton De Sols sons Is quite distinct from mine. Hut you must confers that .your Intelligence was somewhat startling. If I have said nil thing to annoy you, I apoleglte." "Stop whining," she answered. Impa tiently. "Whenever you put on that tone, I fancy you mean mischief." "What Is It you want of me?" he ask ed. "You have a paper which will secure Sir Ijvunce IVnrhyddyn the mortgage money when It fltlls due. I want that paer." Mr. Wjlle laughed, and slowly rubbed bis hand together as though enjoying a Joke. "A modest request, certainly," he said. "In the first place, bow do you know that the letter l genuine?" "That I have ascertains! for myself. I ml led ujon Messrs. Groom and Fry to ask whether they were Instructed to pay over to Sir Laiince a certain sum of money upon a certain date. Of course, as I expected, they declined to furnish me with twlllve Information; Uut their man ner convinced me that some such com munication had Msed. Hand me over that paper, ami I will sign a bond mik ing over to you one-half the sum that I may inherit under Mrs. Grlersou's will." "A sum that It is more than probable you may never touch." lie sneered. "A sum which it Is more thin proba ble I shall touch before the bell ring thi year nut. Oh, I know everything; I know that Constancy Orieron want not a mouth to her twentieth birthday, ami that there is not the slightest chance of her fulfilling the condition under which she I to Inherit the property." Mr. Wylle looked amazed; then bent bis brows and gnawed bis nail again. During the last few minutes be had been revolving lu his mind a desperate plan, but as yet it was only half formed. "If what you say be true," be slid, slowly, "we are both equally Interested in the girl's forfeiture of her fortune. Have you uuy love for Constance Grler son?" "I hate her!" she cried, vehemently; "and more than ever since 1 heanl Ar thur praise her beauty, and say that he could have loved ber had it not been for " "I suppov that It is quite a settled thing that you are to be the future Lady IVnrhyddyn?" he said, observing her sud den break. "Help me, then, In a plan which. If successful, will he equally to jour advantage as to mine; and that pa per shall h yours within sufficient time to save I'enrhyddyn." "What Is the plan?" she asked, looking steadily Into his face, "It 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." "Hut can sIm do so?" Inquired Mrs. Castleton. "Yes, with the concurrence of her guardian, 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. I'nless I could prove that the principal of the fortuno was being reduced, I am powerless to check such expenditure without the coalition of my fellow trus tee. Tliere arc many people for the for tune to be divided among, and 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 nsalatance I the salvation of the I'enrhyd dyn estates. Itefuse, and thy are lost, and jou will never be Lady I'enrhyddyn. 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. A quarter of an hour afterwards, Mrs. Castleton pasted through the outer oIHlvs, with a grave and preoccupied expression upon her face. Could she, at that moment, have trans ported herself Into the little closet In the private office and have watched the expression of Wylle'a countenance, alio might have considered twice before uhe committed herself to his proposals. He was leaning bark In Ids chair, convulsed with Inward laughter, "She herself will provent Constance from saving I'enrhyd dyn ! The twenty or thirty thousand that we have plotted against her having I the very sum she Intends devoting to that pur pose! ThU I delicious I" Such were the thought then passing through his brain. s The die wa cast, and Mrs. Castleton was Mr. Arthur I'enrhyddyn. Ily advice of Sir Launce, whose health wa greatly Improving, Arthur had re turned to London a few day after that and be pursued It without hesitation or onn thought of retreat. One dark, foggy November morning they were married by lhvuse, with only Mr, rrveinan for a witness. It was n cold, cheerless wedding, nnd the clergj nuvii shltrrvd In (be raw utiim'phrre 11s he offered the usual pvxl vvlslus. As they came out, n funeral was slowly passing down the road. "The poor joutig lady was married In this church only a month ago," said the sexton, with that lovo of garnlblng bai py events by opposite and doleful anec dote which characterises the vulgar. i;ieonorv shuddered, as she could feel her husband ptv her arm more closely to hi side a he hurried her Into (he brougham. I'aslng hi arm round her wnit, nnd drawing her toward him, he said : "Wo mul think no more of omens now, darling; let 11 leave all such dark shadows behind u at the altar. We an defying augury let us now think only ot love." Never had her spirit been so softened. Hut the next moment came the blighting memory of how cruelly he wa deivlved lu her; by what lies, and trirkrry, aud deceit she had gained hi love. She hid not even confessed to him that she had once Iwrne the fatal name of De Sols-ous. Hut that secret he knew Inwardly, a clearly as though she had written It down. "Shall I tell him now?" she thought. "No; let no other dirk shadow come be tween us on this day." The cheerful drawing rnom, with its biasing tire, aud the table laid nut dain tily for the wed ting breakfast, revived their flagging spirits. There was to 1 no Itoiicymoon excursion ; they were to remain at Hr-Hnptou. "Ours ha. Indeed, Ixvn a quiet wed ding." she said, ns they sat by the fire together. "You know my reason, denrwt; In the pri-M-nt state ot my father's hetillb and affairs, I omld not break so Important an event to him. Hut, hereafter, I hero shall be another wedding one worthy of jou. and of the future mutre of I'en rhjddyn." What sweet mulc thow tast word sounded In her e-nrs! "And it Is I who will save I'enrhjddyn," she thought. Hut even with this feeling of triumph rame a revulsion. "If Wjlio should play m fal.e!" "You shiver are you cold?" akcd Ar thur. "Oh, no; but I fancied I saw- a hwV- ous faiv In the tire," she answered. That evening a letter was forwarded to Arthur from his own lodgings. It nn nounccd that Sir I .n mire would be If town on the next day. CIIAITKIt XXIII. Not until a fortnight after his visit to Jerome could Stafford obtain his rag' erly desired Interview with Coustaniv. He had traveled to Guildford the next morning by the first train, and hung about the neighborhood of Linden Grange In the bone of accidentally meeting her. Hut the hope was not fulfilled. The next day, by dint of indirect Inquiries, he learned that she was confined to lier room by a severe cold, lie contrived to get a letter conveyed to her and to receive a reply. making an appointment. The day on which ttwy met wa Ar thur's ami I'leonorc's wedding day. The place was tin- some which bad wllne-i! their meeting sonic ten weeks bark. Spits of himself, lie could not prevent his first greeting being cold and restrained. "What ha happened, Kdward?" she asked, anxiously. "Why have you writ ten so urgently to rne?" "For your sake more than mWie," hi answered; "to clear your name 'from a blighting calumny." She turn il very -wile, and asked faintly what be meant. He observed the look and tone, and it struck a ping of fear to bis heort. Hut It brought him at once to the point, and mnde him spenk plainly and conclw-ly. So, without one word of preface or observation, he told the story, every incident of It, from Jerome's first meeting with the so-called Katie Doran on Westminster Hrldge, to bis, Stafford's, discovery of tho picture In the gallery of I'enrhyddyn, and the conversation he had beard upon his last visit to Jerome's studio. Then be waited her reply. During the course of his narrative the pale, pained look upon ln-r fare had grad ually changed to one of puzxled Inquiry. "Hut I know nothing of nil this," she said, when be Imd finished. "I never heard of this Jerome or of bis painting." "Thank heaven !" he cried, selling Jier hand and pressing It passionately to fil lip. "There Is only one clrcumstnnce lu the whole story that I have any knowledge of. I ierfectly remember some men staring rudely at me In Harley strret one day us I was stepping Into my carriage; and that they afterward came up to the win dow, which my uncle drew up In their faces." "Hut Jerome told m that you turned quite pnlo at tho algbt of lilm, nnd In this assertion lie was corroborated by a sec ond jiarty." "I could not be disturbed at the sight of Mr. Jerome, considering that I hud never before seen nor wen heard of the gentleman," alio atuwerrd, flushing. 'There was, certainly, one person in the group the sight ofwliom might" have -produced such an effect." "And that wa " "A man whom I onco know under tho name of I'ursons," ahe answered, In a low voice, and with downcast eyes; "a man who once cruelly wronged me." "In what way?" eagerly Inquired Staf ford. She wa silent for a mfcmcnt, then an wered, quietly, "I cannot tell you now," (To be continued. I Inruriuallun Wanted, Mm.
