In two days' time Mrs. Clayton would be tbe only visitor rerualuiug.

"I am stir I aball 1 dUponed to grant It, b annwrred, pleasantly. "Wben your gueat are gone, I want you all to com and spend two or three days at tbe Court." Lay Grace hesitated. "I should like It very much," ahe aaid, prenently; "but Sir Clayton baa tbe great eat dliilike to leaving home when be la once settled." "If I can succeed In persuading hltn. will you come? I have a particular ob ject la my rei)iiet." "Oh, ye, with pleasure; I am sure Ma rlon aud Winifred will be delighted. Hut I am afraid you will have aoiue difficulty with my biubaud." Mr. Hasting wa, however, more auc- cen.ful than Lady (J race anticipated, and won tbe baronet a comteut without much trouble. Tbe truth was, there wa a very tine library at the Court, and Kir Clayton bad for aome time part been aox- luiu to consult aome old and valuable work he knew to be there. When everything wa settled, Winifred beard of the arraugeiuent with conflict ing feeling. Khe wa almoat sorry that ahe had been included in the invitation, ber presence could but awaken Jinpleae- ant memorle In Mr. Hunting.' mind. Tuesday came, the morulng wa lovely, and it was srranged that Mr. Clayton and Winifred should ride, and that Bir Clsyton should drive Lady (irace over in hi phaeton. When they arrived at the Court Mr. Hastings and bia friends were stsnding on the steps to receive them. Tills time be did not lift Wlulfred from ber horse and wbiaper welcome, but weut at once to Mr. Clayton. Winifred felt the difference, a little bitterly, per bap, and yet with a quick cousclouines that the bsd no right to feel it But when she wss shown to her room, a glad thought blotted out the bitter Den. Was It by accident that the walla were hung with ber favorite prints, and that vase filled with acarlet geranium and ferns her fsvorite combination were disposed all about the room? Scarcely, It must have been a wish to pleaae her, and if he at 111 cured shout giving her pics sure, surely ill the love hsd not died out. Thero wss a dinner party in the even inga very gay, pleasant party, that ev eryone enjoyed. Afterward Winifred aang, and was brighter and hsppier than she hsd been for many weeks. Mr. Hastings hsd scarcely spoken to her, but yet she was conscious thst he ftaa not indifferent to her. The nett day he asked her suddenly if she would like to sea her old home vuce more. "Yes," she said, quietly; "will you take me?" 1 "If you go alone with me I will," he snswered. "I will go, it Lady Grace does not ob ject." "Shall I ask her?" ' "Do." And they went toward LsJy Grace, who was sitting readiug by the open win dow. "I see no objection," said Lady Grace, smiling, "except that you always used to be ao terribly quarrelsome. I think I must exact a promise first that there shall be no disagreement on the way." "I promise," laughed Errol. "And I," added Wlulfred, a shade more seriously. "Then I consent," smiled Lady Grace. They went away ailently together, neither speaking until they reached the end of the broed gravel drive. Then Mr. Hastings broke the silence. "Shall we go through tbe woods?" "I should like to very much," she an swered. "I have not been there siuce " And then she stopped suddenly, remem bering on what occasion she had been there last. "Siuce when?" and he looked keenly at her. "Oh, a long time ago more than two years." "Do yon remember that bank?" Krrol asked, suddenly. "It was there I first saw you." . Presently they came to a gate; the same gate they had stood at more than two years ago the same at which they had parted, she suffering, he stung by remorse. He had brought her here on purpose to test the strength of her lore pnd forgiveness. He did not open It for her to pass through, but stopped and leaned against It. She stood in front of jiim, waiting patiently, and he looked in tently at her,- ' ' "It is two years and two months since we were here together last, Miss Eyre. You are greatly changed since then." "For the worse?" she asked, quickly, "Not as the world would think." "But aa you thiuk?" "I scarcely know. They say we are all the happier when we lose our impulsive ness and warmth of heart, and become cold and indifferent. You have found it so, ho doubt ?" His tone was almost harsh, and she looked up in his face sadly, and yet with infinite patience. "I canuot be angry at your saying so, Mr. Hastings. You have the right to think it." "And yet I would rather hear you. deny it Indignantly, Miss Eyre." ' - "If I denied it, would you believe me?" He was silent for a moment, while there was a struggle going on In his heart. He had tootuuch chivalry of feel ing to wish her to confess herself wrong And plead to him, aud yet there was a CONDON CONDON, GILLIA3I , CO., OREGON, TIIUHSDAY, AUGUST 13, NLY A FARMER'S DAUGHTER.

He watched her, unwilling to help ber, yet feeling vividly mat ah was suttering. " . ; "If," she faltered at Inst-"If I thought that In spite of all that Is psst, you did not hst me" and she stopped. "You know what 1 feel for you," he said, quietly, "mi I likely to change?" "Then I should like to tell you how much I regret the past," she went on, In a low voice. "You do not know how bit terly 1 have suffered In the psst months, because my pride would not let me own I loved you. I am ready to make my atonement here in this very plsce, tbe bsre remembrance of which hs nisde me hhrlnk snd turn from you before. 1 for give yon lite wrong you did me, and I ask you to pardon me, .too.. Hsv I humil iated myself enough?" and she looked for a moment in his fsce snd then turned shsrply swsy, with a quivering lip snd large tears In her eyes. ' s , He csught her by the band. " "Winifred," he said, a sudden passion in his voice and eyes, "tell me ono thing more. Do you in truth love me?" She looked brsvely up in his face. "I have never left off loving youT He drew her toward him in a atrong clasp, until her head rested on bis breast. 1 think it is true," he whispered, "thst we love that bet which la most desrly won." CHAPTEK XIX. It wss almost dark when they returned to the Court. "Your idea of the length of half an hour must be singularly'vsgue, Mr. Hsst- Ing, smiled Iidy Grace. "8urely you have been further than the Farm?" ".Not even aa far, Lady Grace," he re plied, with a glad smile; snd then Wini fred Wing gone, he told her his story. . I am very grad," ahe aaid. kindly. "1 conld wih you nothing better than to have such a wife as Winifred." All obstseles surmounted, snd the en gagement between them being rs tilled by the consent-of all parties. Mr. Hastings would not hear of any objection to the marriage taking place Immediately. "Uemember, darling" be aaid. when Winifred would have urged him to wait. "I have loved you for more thao two years. Ilsving msde me so miserable, surely yon owe it to me to lose no time in atoning for it. Pray get that horri ble trousiesu business over with sll speed, or I shsll think you do not love me ess I love you." Sir Howard wss delighted when he was spprised of the intended marriage, and insisted thst Winifred should be married" from Hurst Msnor. She had a fancy for being married in the little church where ahe had so often sat when ahe waa only a farmer's dsughter. She wss not the simple little country girl now, but an ele gant young lady, accustomed to luxury snd good society. Errol would here liked much better that ahe ahould come to him portionless, hut that waa not to be as he desired. Sir Howard Champion gave her twenty thousand pounds, and Sir Clayton ten thousand, while Lady Grace provided her with a magnificent trousseau. Mr. Hust ings had the family diamonda reset and remounted for her, and would have had her wear some of them at least at the wedding. "Please not. Errol." she pleaded. "I do not like all this grandeur. I would rath er not forget that my early life was sim ple." ' Mrs. Clayton was of course to have been at the wedding. She was looking forward to it, glad at heart at the part sho had taken in bringing together two people who cared for each other. Three, weeks before the day fixed she received a letter with a foreign postmark. - : c "Who can it be from?" she said, turn ing it over in her hand, and speaking to Winifred. "I do not know the hand; it seems crabbed and foreign, and has been forwarded from London. It is addressed to Milady Clsyton, too!". And Eee con" tinued to look at it without, however, breaking the seal. "Who can it be from?" ahe said again. "If you open it you will soon see, dear," AVlnifred replied, laughing. "I don't quite like to do it," Mrs. Clay ton remarked presently. "I suppose it is because I am nervous and unwell; but 1 always feel as if every letter I received coutained bad news. ' Will "you open it for me?" And she tossed it across the table. "Of course I will. What' a scrawl!" And Miss Eyre proceeded to tear the en velope. "I ahould imagine it contained Borne mysterious secret, from the way it is gummed together. 1 must take a knife and slit it open from the side." With some trouble she got at the con tentsa dirty scrap of foreigu paper, with a few crabbed hieroglyphics, and be gan to read aloud:' "Milady and honored excelency I av te profonde .regrette to annonce' to you dat te Milor Clayton monsieur yor hus baud av bin took wid de horrible maladle of cholera in want to' see Voit. I av sent for the principal docteur an am at -yor orders. GODEFUOI LUFIN, A horror seized upon Mrs. Clayton. She had never loved her husband; lately sho had hated him; but the idea of his being ill alone among strangers brought the teara to her eyes. "O, Winifred!" she exclaimed to her friend, in whose face ahe read consterna tion, "I must go to him at once." "You cannot,- Fee; weak as you are It would be madness. The address ia some obscure village in Switzerland. . Let us go and ask Sir Clayton what had beat be done." "Who do you suppose this letter to be written by?" Sir Clayton asked, when he had read the curious missive. "I cannot tell. Perhaps the hotel keeper." r "Hsd he a foreign vt, do you know, Marlon V "Not when he left I-onlon. Simmons was with bliu then; but be may bare left; be was always threatening to lesve, and then, of coo rue, It Is most probable thst Francis would engage a foreigner." "Something must be d'tne at onc-e. You cannot go yourself, Mtrion that l quite out of tbe question neither csn I very well. Perhaps Alfred Clayton I In town; he wsa coming up, I kow. I will telegraph to him. Stay, I am not sure where be would be. I !!! go up to Lon don myself at once." And Sir Clayton rang the beil and or dered tbe carriage. - - .', "But I feel thst I ought le go myself, Sir Clsyton; tb letter said- lis Wished to see me." . "My dear, do not ihink of It; the jour ney would kill you. To cross the channel la this cold weather and with these tem pestuous winds, wotMd.'j nothing short of madness." ' " """. 1 Sir Clayton dressed borrien'ly for 'hi journey, jumped into the carriage an I drove off to the station, leaving Wini fred to explain mattera to bis wife. II Juat canght tbe np train by a minute; the horses hsd accomplished the five miles la exactly twenty-two miaues. Sir Clsyton had told tbe coachman that ft waa a mat ter of life and death, and the old man, aorely agaluat hia will, hsd driven h a favorite tbe whole distance at the top of their speed. Sir Clayton reached Iondon and drove off to tbe hotel where he knew Alfred Clayton always stsyed when he wss in town. By good fortune he hsd just arrived there, and waa at the--door ready to depart 'again when-Sir CJayton drove Op. The story was briefly told and the two men looked doubtfully at acb other.'. ' . . . "Of course I will go at once,". Mr. Clayton said; "but cholera In one of those foreign boles i a nssty business. I will get a time table and aee how aosn I can go off. I muat get yoa to telegraph down to Mrs. Grsnt at Brighton I promised to dine snd sleep at her house tonight." "I think," said Sir Clayton, "that while you are making preparations, I will drive round to the houe in Tjccsdilly and see If there is any further news." ' On arriving there be found another letter, with a foreign postmark and open ed It at once. It waa written by the doc tor in good French, and informed Mrs. Clayton delicately that her husband had Just brestbed his last 4 "This Is a ssd business." taid Sir Clsy ton, returning to the hotel; "you must lose no time In getting there. I fesr he will be burled long before you reach the place, and there will be no chance of bringiog the body to England. Of course,, if " "Of course of course!" exclaimed Al fred Clayton, hastily, snd grasping the baronet's hsnd he hurried off. - He was the next heir to all that-apleadid, prop erty, hut for the time he felt no exulta tion at the thought of steppinglnto the shoe of the man who lay dead and alone in a foreign country. On reaching the Tillage he fonnd that Sir Clayton's sur mise wss correct, and.Ahat.iha. rich man had been Interred aome days before wJib little ceremony. The obsequious land lord and Lupin, the valet of the dead man, were voluble in their information. From Lupin he learned that Mr. Clayton had engaged him in Paris six weeks pre viously, having parted In a quarrel with hia Engllah servant. , At first Mrs. Clayton waa shocked and stunned at the unexpectedness of the blow. She had disliked her husband, but It seemed so horrible for him to have died In that terrible way, ao far from home and without a single friend. Her first resolution waa to leave Endon Vale, and she sent an urgent message to her aunt to Join her. This time Lady Marion made no delay In answering the. summons. Lady Grace begged Fee1 to remain. . 'You are very kind, ahe answered. I ran scarcely thank you enough for your long hospitality, but I w6uld. rather go. Under the circumstances, I could but mar the cheerfulness that ought to. reign here during the preparations for such a happy event aa dear Winifred's marriage; and until I can realise my new position- I would rather go away quietly to some fresh place. If you invite me laer I shall be very glad to come to you again." (To be continued.!', . .I I. ' r ' The OterseaJ of Youth.

COLORADO SWEPT BY STORM. Chunks of Ice Fully Ten Inches . la .. , Length Fall. Denver. Aug. '8. Details of thA storm which orevailed alone- tha out. ern slope of the Rocky mountains in Colorado and Southern. Wyoming last night show it to have oeen much more severe than at first reported. 1 In some sections the hail fall was unprecedent ed. In the neighborhood of Greely and Eaton, in the northern part of Col orado, chunas of ice measuring in some instances ten inches in length fell, and the damage wrought was immense. Sheep were struck dead in the corrals, and cftttle and horses were severely hurt. : Farmhouses and barns were wrecked, and crops utterly wiped cut of existence. . ! Near. La Fayette, Colo., there were two st3rms, tlie second following the first within 15 minutes and with greater severity. .The streets of the town were flooded, cellars partially filled with water and trees and shrubbery stripped of foliage and crops destroyed. The damage in and around La Fayette is estimated at $200,000. In Southern Colorado the rainfall was very heavy, approaching the proportions of a cloud burst in several places.
