I.tily Grace raro,nbar'e lout guests
were on the eve of departure, much to ber
husbsnd's delight. In two days' time
Mrs. Clayton would be tbe only visitor
rerualuiug. Mr. Hastings scarcely epoke

"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

latent pride of spirit that made him feel
it would be uuinauly, nndlgulfied, for him
to make the flr.t advance now, after all
that bad gone before. 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

you to pardon me, .too.. Hsv I humil

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:'

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."

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."

matter, held' a conference with Gover
nor Taft, and after.a fall discupsion
promised to render all the aid possible.
