CHAPTER VIII -(Continued.)
In music and pl-aaaut converMtlon the
evening passed quUkly away. Arthur was
rapidly falling In love, and Constan«»,
too, could Hot help cotifesaing to herself
that had they met a twelvemonth before,
she might hate on« day b- n the mlatreaa
of Penrhyddyn Castle.
While those thoughts were passing
through her mind, Arthur, who wm look
Ing through some portfolio*« of music,
rams upon a numbtr of French ballad*,
which, from their worn and discolored ap
pearance, seemed to be very old.
"They were my mother's,'' Mid Con­
stance; “«he greatly valued them, they
belong««! to her grandmother, by whom
they were brought from France during
tl*« Itevolutfon,"
"Was your mother, th«n. of French er
traction?*' inquire«) Arthur.
"Oh, yes; she was descended from a
bran-h of on« <»f the old n- ’ilesas. Her
grandfather and grandmother tie-t to Eng
land during the Reign of Terror. Mrlng
only their bare Ilves. they died soon af
ter their arrival, and th--n their children
Milled down hw«. after making an un
euos-ssful att«-mpt to r-*--««-r «'«-thing
out of ths property they had lost."
"What wee th» name .»f the family,

loei-rlbs'l In one corner. In stiff, angular
characters, "Margu-rlte ds H-.issons."
“Was she a I te Holsaone?" asked Ar
thur. faintly, ths memory of hie own
family legend rushing l-i-k upon his
mind.
"Yes; and Intensely proud she waa of
her linesgs." answer««! Constance.

Upon consulting a railway time table,
Arthur discovered thst be sh . « 1 to n i-
tn catch th» last train.
- m than half an hour he waa on bls
way back to Iximioa.
"A lawyer to examine Into my ac

have not a wrap of paper to ebow wbat I

Wylie liatened to her bitter w««r«te with
downcast eyes, and a fees of which th»
livid pallor waa tbs ->nly signa of lbs
paaei-m that raged within him.
"But for me," he Mid quietly, "you

"You served me to wrvs yourself!" sn«
retorted. “What la tbs simple history

a paMport sutheisnt to admit hla eon Into

relish for such. Ill* family cuaoectlona

And thus It was that Arthur peerhyd-

At 111 o'clock on the second morning
after tbs ball, Mr Wylie was wstnl at

In the midst of

silently Just Ituiido th« d - >rway, until
