'Oue more question, and I hive done.
A strange story tit recently been told
me by one who had no conception tint I

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

"I have lately heanl the story myelf,"
lie answered. "The gentleman who saved
you was Sir Litineo l'enrhyddyti. Hut a

the bodies bark to the coast and put 'em
where the tide would waiih 'em bark Into

"Jut aa I came up I saw what might

wave. Whatever It wan. It sank directly.
Tliere waa not light enough for me to

"Would to heaven that you had tcn

"And now have you anything more to

"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

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

Learing stuns him to madness.
"If that U all you have come to tell

"Have you the vanity to suppose that

no rude aa to so annoy my dear rela

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

he spoke, "Take care what you say about

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,"

Tha alo.tel lUil,
Lives tliere a dad with soul so dead
Who never to hi son hath said:
"When I was your age I would run
To do lbs things I had to do;
I never till my work was doiw
Found any pleasure to pursue;
My parents never had to scold,
And every rule they ever made
For me was honestly obeyed)
I never frowned and never told
A falsehixsl when I was a hoy;
I gave my parent dally Joy
Ily doing well nnd being kind,
Ily being truthful nnd polite)
My speech wa proper ami refined,
My In-art contained no room for spite I"
If such there Im, go mark him well,
For he' a bird I Hut none such dwel1
Upon this earth unknown, unsung,
Such wonder all die very young,
