II: V ii I OLOILQOMCIIIC ) Bj B. MDEB HAQOABIX CHAFTRR XXXIII. OVOr.OK'S DITLOMATIO ERtUSTD. Georga carried out his lutcntton of going to London. The morning following tbo tiny vvheu Mr. Quest luid driven tbo auctioneer tn tbo dog cart to Honham, Georgo might bavo uoen Bocn nn uour beroro It km light pur chasing n third class return tlckot to LIvor Iool syeot. Arrlv-liiR tbcro in safety, ho ixutook of n socond breakfast, for it was 10 o'clock, and then Uking n cab bo caused him self to be driven to tbo end of. that street in IXmllco vrhero bo had gono with tbo fair "Kdltbln," nnd where, Johnnlo had tnado ac quaintance with bis ash stick. Dismissing the cab, ho made bis way to the house with tbo red pillars, but on arriving vraa considerably taken attack, for tbo place bad ovcry nppoaranco of being dexcrtod. There were no blinds to tbo windows, and on the steps wero muddy foot marks nnd bits of nur and straw which seemed to bo the Utter of a recent removal Indeed, tbero on the road wero tbo broad wboel marks of the van which bad carted oft tho furniture. Ho stared nt tbo sight with dismay. The bird bad ap parently flown and left no address, and hs had bad bis trip for nothing. Uo pressed upon tbo electric boll; that Is, h did this ultimately. Uoorga was not ac customed to electric, bells, indeed bo bad never seen ono before, and niter attempting In vain to pull it with his Angers for bo knew that it must boa bell because tbero was tbo word itself written on it bo as a last re source condescended to try it with his teeth. Ultimately, however, ho discovered how to uso It, but without result. Either the battery had bceu taken away, or it was out of cear. 2 est as ho was wondering what to do next he made a discovery the door was slightly ajar. He pushed it and it canto open revealing a dirty ball, stripped of every scrap of furni ture. Entering, bo shut the door nnd walked up tho stairs to tbo room whenco bo bad fled after thrashing Johnnlo. Hero ho paused and listened, for ho thought ho heard some body tn the room; nor was bo mistaken, for presently a well remembered voice shrilled out within: "Who's skulking about outside thereP said the voice. "If it's ono of thoso bailifbbo'd better hook it, for there's nothing left here," George's counten&nco positively beamed at the sound. "Bailiffs, mannf he sung out through the door; "it ain't novarminty bailiffs, it's a friend, and just when you're wanting one Ecemmgly. Uau I coino inP "Oh, yes, eonio in, whoever you are," said the voice. Accordingly he opened tho door and entered, and this was what be baw. The room, like tho rest of tho house, bad been stripped of everything, with tho solitary ex ceptions of a box and a mattress, beside which there wero an empty bottle and a dirty class. On tho mattress sat the fair Edithia, alias ilrs. D'Aublgne, alias tho Tiger, alias Jlrs. Quest, and such a sight as sho presented George had never seen before, Her tierce face bore traces of recent heavy drinking, and was moreover dirty, haggard and dread ful to look upon ; her hair w as a frouzy mat, on some patches of which the golden dye had faded, leaving it its natural hue of doubt ful gray. Sho hod no collar on, and her linen was open at tho neck; on her feet wero a filthy pair of white satin slippers, on her back that samo gorgeous pink satin tea gown which Mr. Quest had observed on the occa sion of his viit, now, however, soiled and torn. Anything moro squalid or more repul sive than the whole picture cannot bo im agined, and though his stomach was pretty strong, ana in tbo course ot ms uio be had seen many a sight of utter destitution, George literally recoiled from It. "What's the matterP said the hag, sharp ly, "and who the dickens are youf Ah, 1 know now; you are tho chap who whacked Johnnie," and she burst into a hoarse scream of laughter at tho recollection. "It was mean of you, though, to book it and leavo me. Ha pulled me, the devil, and I was fined two pounds by the beak." "Mean of him, inarm, not me; but he was a mean varmint altogether, be was; to go and pull a lady, too; I niver beard of such a thing. But, marm, if I might say so, you seem to bo in trouble here," and he took a seat upon the deal box. "In trouble; I should think I was in trouble, rhere's been an execution in the houss, that Is, there's been three executions one for ratos and taxes, one for a butcher's bill, and one for rent. They all camo together, and fought like wild cats for the duds. That was yesterday, and you see all they have left me; cleaned out everything down to my new yel low satin, and then asked for more. They wanted to know where my jewelry was, but I hid them there, bee, beer "Meaning, marmP "Meaning that 1 hid it that Is, what was left of it under a board. But that aint tbo worst. When I was asleep that devil Ellen, who's had her share of the swag all these years, got to the board and collared the things, and bolted with them, and look what she's left me instead," and she held up a scrap of paper, "a receipt for five years wages, and she's had them over and over again. Ah, If ever I get a chance at her," and she doubled her long hand and made a motion as of a person scratching. "She's bolted and left me here to starve. I haven't had a bite since yesterday, nor a drink either, and that's worse. What's to become of me? I'm starv ing. I shall have to go to tho work house. Yes, me," she added in a scream, "me, who have spent thousands. I shall have to go to a work house like a common woman." "It's cruel, marm, cruel," said tho sympa thetio George, "and you a lawful wedded wife 'till death do us part.' But, marm, I saw a public over tho way. Now, no offense, but you'll let me just go over and fetch a Into and a sup." "Well," she answered, hungrily, "youVe & gent,you are, though you're a country one. You go, while I just make a little toilet; and as for tho drink, why, let it bo brandy." "Brandy it shall be," said the gallant George, and departed. In ten minutes be returned with a supply of beef patties, some plates nnd glasses, and a bottle of good strong British browu, which, as everybody knows, is sufficient quantity to render three privates or two blue jackets drunk and Incapable The woman, who now presented a slightly more respectable appearance, seized tho bot tle, and, pouring about a wine glasiful and a half of its contents into a tumbler, mixed it with an equal quantity of "water and drank It oft at a draught. "That's batter," ho said, "and now for a patty. It's a real picnic, this is." He handed her one, but sbo could not eat more than half of it, for alcohol destroys the healthier appetites, and she soon flew back to tho brandy bottle. "Now, marm, that you are a little moro comfortable, perhaps you will tell me how you got into this way, and you with a rich husband as I well knows to lore and cherish you." "A husband to love and cherish moP she said; "why I have written to him three times to tell bim that I'm starving, and never a cent Las ho given me and there's no allow ance due yet, and when there is they'll take it, for I one hundreds." "Well," said George, "I call it cruel cruel, and bo rolling in gold. Thirty thou sand pounds he has just made, that I know of. You must be on angel, marm, to stand it, an angel without wings. If it wero my husband, now, I'd know the reason why." "Ay, but I daren't. He'd murder me. lie said be would." George laughed gently. "Lord I Lord!" ho said, "to see how men do play It off upon poor weak women, working on tbuir uarvts mid that like. Hs kill youf Laryer Quest kill rou, and ho is the biggest coward in Bolsiug nam! But there it is; this is a world of wrong, as tho arson says, and tho poor thorn lint tnus) Jamb their talis down and turn their backs to tuo wmj. and to mutt you, marm. So It's tho workhus you'll bo In to morrow. Well, you'll flud it a poor placv, the skilly is that rough It do faro to tako tho skin off your throat, and no: a drop of liquor, not oven a cup of hot tea, and work, too, lots of ft-scrubbtng, marm, scrubblngl" This vivid picture of miseries to come draw something between n sob and a howl from the woman. There is nothing taioro horrible to tho Imagination of such people than tho Idea of being forced to work. If their notions of n future slato of punishment could bo got at, they would bo found, iu uino cases out of ten, to resolro themselves luto n vaguo concep tion of hard labor In a hot climate. It was lira Idea of tho scrubbing that particularly affected tho Tiger. "I won't do It," she said, 'Til go to choker first" "Look here, marm," said George, iu n per suasivo voice, and pushing tho brandy bottlo toward her, "n here's tho need for you to go to tho workhus or to chokey either you with n rich husbnud as Is bound by law to support you as becomes a lady I And, mnrm, mind another thing, a husband ns has wick edly deserted you which how ho could do so ain't for mo to say and Is living aloug of another young party." bho took sonio moro brandy before she nn- snered. "That's all very well, you duffer," sho said; "but how nm I to get at hlml I tell you I'm afraid of him, and even If 1 weren't, I haven't a cent to travel with, and If 1 got there what am I to dor' "As for being afraid, marm," ho answered. "I've told you Laryer Quest is a long sight moro frightened of you than you are of him. Then as for money, why, marm, I'm going dowu to lloisinghnm myself by tho train that loaves Liverpool street at half past 1, and that's nn hour from now, and it's proud and pleased I should bo to tako n lady down and bo tbo means of bringing them as has been in holy matrimony together again. And as to what vou should do when on gets there, why, you should just walk up with your uiarriaga lines and say, 'You arc my hus band, nnd 1 call on you to cease living ns you didn't (.-lighter, and tnko me back;' and if he don't, why, then yflu snears nn Information, aud its ncoso of nan-nut for bigamy." Tho Tiger chuckled, nnd then suddenly seized with suspicion, looked at her visitor sharply. "What do you want mo to blow the caff forP sho said; "you're a leery old baud, you are, for ail your simple ways, and jrou've got some game on, I'll take my dnvy." "In jime IP answered George, an ex pression of the deepest pain spreading itself over bis ugly features, Tio, marm and when ono has "anted to help n friend, too. Will, if you think that and no doubt mis fortune bev mado you suspicious the best 1 can do is to bid you good day, and to wish you n ell out of your troubles, workhus asd all, marm, nbicb I do according," and ho rose from his box with much dignity, politely bowed to the hag on the mattress, and then turning walked toward tho door. Sho sprung up with an oath. "I'd go," she said. "I'll take tho change out of him; I'll teach bim to let his lawful wife starvo on a beggarly pittance. 1 don't, care if ho does try to kill me. I'll ruin him,"" and sbo stamped upon the floor nnd screamed, "I'll ruin him, I'll ruin him," presenting such a picture of abandoned rage and wickedness that even George, whose nerves were not finely strung, inwardly shrunk from her. "Ah. marm," ho said, "no wonder you're put out. When I thfnk of what you've had to suffer, 1 own it mokes my blood go a b'iling through my veins. But iyou are n-coming, pcrnatu it would ue as well to step cursinz and put your hat ou, for wo have got to catch tbo train, and be pointed to a headgear chiefly made of somewhat dilapidated pea cock feathers, and an ulster which tbo bailiffs tit up; I'll have his blood. But look here, If bo's put In choker, whsres the tin to conn fromp "Why, marm," answered George, with splendid mendacity, "it's tho best thing that can happen for you, for If they collar bim you get tho property, nnd that's law." "Oh," sho answered, "If I'd known that he'd havit boon collared long ago, I can toll you." "Come," said George, seeing that thoy were nearlug tholr destination, "have ono more ulp Just to keep your spirits up," and ho pro duced tho brandy bottle, at which sho took a long pull "Now," bo sold, "go for htm like a wild cat," "Never you fear," sho said. They dismounted from the cab and entered the court house without nttractiuc unr par ticular notice, Tho court Itself was crowded, for a caso which had excited public lutcrest was coming to n conclusion. The jury had given tbelr verdict and sentence was being pronounced by Mr. do la Molle, tho chair man. Mr. Quest tens sitting nt his table below tho bench taking wmio notes. "There's your husband," ho whispered; "now do you draw on." George's part iu tho drama ws played, and with a sigh of relief he fell back to natch Its flual doxelopmcut. He saw tho fierce, tall woman slip through the crowd like n sunka or a panther to Its prey, and some compunction touched him when he thought of the prey. Ho glanced at tho elderly re-1 spcctablo looking gentleman at tho table, and ' reflected that he, too, was stalking his rrey tho.old squire aud the ancient bouso of Do la Mollo. Then his compunction vanished, and bo rejoiced to think that ho would bo tlio menus of destroying a man who, to till his liockets, did not hesitate to destroy tho fam ily nith which bis lifo and tba lUesof bis forefathers for many generations had been interwoven. By this timo tho woman had fought her nay through the press, bursting tho remain lug buttons off her ulster iu so doing, and reached tho bar which separated the spec tators from tho space reserved for the ofll cials. On tbo furthsr side of the bar was a gangway, then camo the tnblo nt which Mr. Quest sat. Ho had been busy writing some thing all this timo; now ho rose nnd passed it to Mr. do U Molle, and then turned to sit dowu again. Meanwhllo his wifo hod craned her long, titho body forward over tho bar till her head was almost level with tho hither edgo of the table. There sho stood glaring nt him, her wicked faco olivo with fury aud malice, for the brandy sbo bad drunk bad caused her to forget her fears. As Mr. Quest turned, his eye caught the flash of color from tint peacock feather hat. From thenco It traveled to the face beneath. He gave a gasp, and tho court seemed to wbirl round him. The sword had fallen, in deed. "Well, Billy." whispered the hateful voice, "you seo I've come to look you up." With u desperate effort he recovered him li NKVKtt FAiw-rnVir voiiiHKLi-.

Such a spectacle, as the Tlgerlookcd pon the platform, George was wont. In after days, to declare be never did see. But it can easily be Imagined that a fierce, dissolute, hungry looking woman, with half dyed hair, who bad drunk as much as was good for ber, dressed In a hat made of shabby peacock feathers, dirty white shoes, an ulster with some buttons off, and a gorgeous but filthy pink silk tea gown, presented a sufficiently curious appearance, especially when con trasted with her companion, the sober and melancholy looking George, who was arrayed in his pepper and salt Sunday suit. So curious Indeed was their aspect that the people loitering about the platform collected round them, and George, who was heartily ashamed of the position, was thankful enough when once the train started. Ho had, from motives of economy, taken her In a third clou ticket, and at this point sho grumbled, saying that sbo was accustomed to travel like a lady should, first; but he appeased her with the brnndy bottle. All the journey through ho talked to ber about ber wrongs, till at last, what between tho liquor and his artful incitements, she was inflamed into a condition of savago fury against Mr. Quest. When once she got to this point ho would let ber Imvo no more brandy, seeing that she was now ripe for his purpose, which was, of course, to use her to ruin the man who would ruin the bouso lie served. Ilr Quest, sitting in state as clerk to the magistrates assembled In Quarter sessions at the sessions bouse ct Boisingbatn, little guessed that the sword, at w hows shadow he had trembled all the&e years, was even now falling on his head, or that tbo band that cut the hair that held it was that of the nupld bumpkin nboso warning he bad despised. CHAPTER XXXIV. TUB SW0P.O OF DAM0CI.Z3. At last tbo weary Journey was over, and to George's intense relief he found himself upon tho platform nt Uoisinghain. Ho w a pretty tough subject, but he felt tlt a very little moro o,f tho company of the fair Edithia would bo too much for him. As it happened, the station master was a partic ular fneud of his, and the astonishment of that xvorthy when bo saw tbo respectable George in such company cannot bo expressed in words. "Why boarl Well, I neverl Is she a fur rlnerP ho ejaculated In astonishment. "If you mean me, you dirty, whtel greas ing steam boss, you," said Edithia, who wa by now iu a Ono bellicose condition, "I'm no more foi eign than you nro. Khut your ugly mouth, can't you, or" and sho took a step toward tho stout station master. lie retreated precipitately, caught his heel against the threshold cf the booking offlco, and vanished backward with a crash. "Steady, marm, steady," said George. "Save it up, uow, do, and as for you, don't you irritate her, none of you, or I won't answer for tho consequences, for she's an injured woman, sho Is, and iujured women is apt to bo dangerous." As chance would have It, a fly which liad brought somebody to the statton was still standing there, and into it Georgo bundled his fair charge, telling tho driver to go to the sessions house. "Now, marm," ho said, "listen to me; I'm going to take you to the mail as has wronged you. lie's sitting as clerk to tho magistrates. Do you go up nnd call him your husband. Then he'll tell tho policeman to take you away, Then do you sing out for Justice, be cause when peoplo sings out for justice every body's bound to listen, and say that you want a warrant agulnst him for bigamy, nnd show them tho marriage certificate). Don't you be put down, and don't you spare bim. If you don't startlo bim you'll never get anything out of him." "Spare blnifn she sum Jed ( "I'll make bim self. A policeman was standing near bim. lie beckoned to him and told him to remove tho woman, who was drunk. The policeman 'advanced and touched her on the aria. "Come, you b off," he said, "youVo drunk." At that moment Mr. do la Molle ceased giving Judgment. "I ain't drunk," said the woman, loud encugh to attract the attention of tho it bo Is court, which now, for the first time, ob served ber extraordinary attire, "and I've a right to be In tho public court." "Come on," said the policeman, "the clerk says you're to go." "The clerk says so, does ber she answered; "and do you know who the clerk 1st 111 tell ycu all," and she raised her voice to a scream; "he's my husband, my lawful wedded bus band, and here's proof of It," and sbo took the folded certificate from ber (ocket and fljng ft so that it fell upon the desk of en of the magistrates. Mr. Quest sunk Into his chair, and there was a silence of astonishment through the court Tho squire was tho first to recover himself. "Slleuce," be said, addressing her; "silence. "This cannot go on hero." I "Cut 1 want Justice," she shrieked. "I munt justice; 1 want a warrant against that man for bigamy." iReuewed sensation.) "He's left mo to starve; me, his lawful wife. I.ook here," and sho tore open the pink satin tea gown, "I haven't enough clothes on me; tno bailiffs took all my clothes; 1 have suf fered his cruelty for years, and borno it, and I can bear it no longer. Justice, your wor ships; I only ask for justice." "Be silent, woman," said Mr. de la Molle. "If you have nny criminal cbargo to bring against anybody, there is a proper way to ciake It. De silent, or leave this court." But she only screamed the more for justice, and loudly detailed fragments of her woes to the eagerly listening crowd. Then policemen wero ordered to remove her, and there followed a most frightful sene. She shrieked and bit and fought In such a fashion that It took four men to drag her to tho door of the court, where she dropped exhausted against tho wall in the corridor. "Well," said the observant George to him sU, "sha has done t trick proper, and no n. (stake. Couldn't I.. ,c kcn better. That's a master one, that is." Then he turned bis attention to the stricken man before htm. Mr. Quest was sitting In his chair, his face ashen, his eyes wide open, and his hands placed Baton the table before him. When silence had been restored, he rose and turned to the .tencb, apparently with tho intention of addressing the court. But he said noth ing, either because he could not find words or because his courage failed him. There wqj a moment's intense silence, for every ono iu Uxo crowded court was watching him, and tho senso of it seemed to tako what resolution ho had left out of bim. At any rnte, be left the table nnd hurried from the court. In tho passage be found the Tiger, who, surrounded by a little crowd, and with her hat awry and her clothes half torn from her back, wis budJled gasping against the wall. She saw him and began to speak; but ho stopped and faced her. llo faced her, grind ing his teeth, and with such an awful fire of fuiy In bis eyes that she shrunk from him In teror, flattening herself against the wall. What did I tell your bo said, in a choked voijo, and then passed on. A few paces down tb passage be met one of his own clerks, a sharp fellow enough, "Here, Jones," he raid, "you see that wo man there. Sho has made a cbargo against me. Watch her. Seo where sbo goes to, and 2nd out what sho is going to do. Tlien coino and tell mo at the oilico. If you lose sight of ber you lose your place too. Do you under stand r "Yes, sir," said ths astonished clerk, and Mr. Quest was gone. Ho mado bis way direct to tho office. It was closed, for he hail told bis clerks that he should not come back of tor court, and I hat thoy could go at half past i. He had his key, however, and, entering, lighted the gas. Then bo went to bis safe and sorted soms papers, burning a good number of thorn. Two largo documents, however, he put by his sld to read. Ono was his will, tho other was In dorsed! "Statement of tba circumstances con nected with Edith." First ho looked through his will. It had been made sonio years ago, aud was'entirely In favor of his wife, or mther of his rsputod wife, Belie.
