Honoria became a very busy woman in- deed atter Goodwood, and the adntinistra. tion of her affairs occupied her day and night Before Goodwood she had bad enough to do, but she conducted her transactions more privately. Apart from these transac- tions, some clue to the nature of which will in due time be given, she became more than evera public character. The extraordinary bets she had made with Lonis Redwood leaked out, as a matter of course, and were recorded and commented upon in the society papers. She was spoken of as " the lady of Chudleigh," and the straight-laced por- tion of society were much scandalised by the news that a woman of more than doubt- ful reputation had come into possession of an estate boasting of an ancient and honorable record. Of the attacks made upon her she took no notice whatever. That she read them was evident, for the papers containing them were always to be found in her house Probably she was aware that she had more friends than enemies, and it is a fact that in many quarters, and with thousands and thousands of people who had never beheld her, she was spoken of in terms ofgonuine admiration. Sho was as deservin of this admiration as of the fainter censure which pursued her. That her nature was kind and sympathetic and that an appeal to her charity was seldom mado in va'n were fade which had been long been established, but after the Derby she came out in a new character. No public appeal for money for charitable purposes was made without her responding to it, and her name was to be found in every advertised list of subs :rip - tions. Meanwhile all Chudleigh was in a state of the groatestexcitement, The village was once more alive. Relays of workmen made their appearance, and the whole house and thepark were put in thorough order. Money was spent freely, and the inhabitants, who had fallen into the dullest of trances, sud- denly shook themselves awake and behaved with animation. CHAPTER XL. It was during the second week in August that Honoria fret with an adventure. She was shopping in Regent street, and, her purchase made, was about to step into her carriage when the figures of ;wo persons at- tracted her attention. One was our friend Mr. Millington, the other an elderly woman hi rags whom she did not know. Both were gazing at her, but in different ways.. Pity, curiosity, and a certain quality of admiration were expressed in Mr. Millingten's eyes, and a hungering greediness in the eyes of the woman. This latter might have been caueod by the contrast between thorn, Hon- oria representing wealth and luxury, the elderly woman representing the uttermost depth of poverty. Honoria gave her a shill- ing, and, pausing a moment, beckoned to Mr. Millington, who, till then, had made no movement towards her. " It is a long time since we met," she said, bolding out her hand to him. " Would you mind stepping into my carriage with me ?" " I ban rather not," said Mr. Millington. " 'f you wish to speak to mo you can do so hero.' It wa.s a rebuke, and Iionoria accepted it as such, but site mado uy comment upon it. " It will not hurt you," she said, "to walk a little way with mo." " No," he replied, "I will do that." They crossed the toad, and Honoria icd the way to a quieter street. The raggedly - dressed woman followed them at a little dis- tance. " Mr. Millington," aatd Honoria, " you see I do not forget yourn ams—I am in your debt." " I am not aware of it." " You must remember the night you took me from Chudleigh to London?" "I remember it very well." " You paid my fare, and spent money epon me. I owe you that much, at all events." "The money was repaid to me." ""By alady?" " By a lady." " It cannot do any harm if I mention her name. Miss Haldane ?" " Yes. Miss Haldane." "Heaven reerard her l I showed her great ingratitude. I do not seek to excuse myself, Mr. Millington, and though I do not deserve your respect, it would be char- itable to pity me."" I do sincerely pity you." " I thank you." Have you seen Miss Haldane lately?" "I see her frequently." "Is she in London, then?" "She has been in London for some time." " I trust she is happy." "She is as happy as she can be in her circumstances." " You cannot mean that she is poor?' " If you have any other subject to speak of," said Mr. Millington, "I cannot con- tinue this." " You are right," said Honoria, with a sigh. " Mr. Millington, I think no one in London knows me as I know myself. Even when you say yon pity me, you do it only out of compliment, and to save yourself from saying something harder." " You are wrong; I do honestly pity you." "1 see Mr. Haldane every day," said Honoria, " and he does not mention his daughter's name. I hear he is not friendly with her. It is this, perhaps that renders her less happy than she should be, In an indirect manner, Mr. Millington, I have shown some recognition of her kindness to- wards tae. It has been my good fortune to be in a position to extend a helping hand to some poor persons, and to distribute a small portion of what bas fallen to my share among those who are struggling with mis- fortune. It is the memory of her goodness that has urged me to this, and that will urge me to do it ELS long as it is inmy power. It could not come out of my own nature, because I am thoroughly bad. Perhaps yon will remember what I say when all the world turns its bark upon me—as it did once be- fore in my life—all the world but her. Mr. Millington, I have been thinking lately of writing to you and asking you to do me a service. "I cannot see in what way Iean be of ser- vice to you," said Mr. Millington, stiffly. " It may also be rendering a service to two poor women in trouble, though that is not my only motive. I not go into any further explanation, because you would neither understand nor sympathise with me. I thought it likely that you aright re- commend me to a reliable person who could obtain some information for me." "Some information respecting others?" " yes. ° You want au inquiryagent?. "Yes, an honest man." "There are plenty of them, Why come to me?" " Because I want a man upon whom I can thocoughly rely. It is a matter so delinate that I would rather not go to an entire stranger. Will you oblige me?" " I must first know the names of the women you refer to," said Mr. Millington He was not disposed to trust Honoria, and he had it suspicion that she had Miss Hal- dane and Realm' Diprose in her mind. " I will toll you willingly. Their nameis Kennedy, a'11d they live in Wellington street, South Lambeth." " Mrs. Kennedy and her daughter 1" ex- claimed Mr. Millington, " You are acquainted with them?" " No ; but a friend ermine is, and strange- ly enough he is an inquiry agent, and in former years did some business for Mr. Kennedy in connection with Mr. Haldane. The name escaped his lips before ho could check its utterance. It was Lionoria's turn now to be surprised. "That is very singular," sine said, "and it makes me all the more anxious. He may be the very roan I want. I beg that you will not refuse me. I assure you my motive is a good one," "I will be frank with you," said Mr. Millington. "On the night before the Der- by my friend and I were iu the Royal Palace of Pleasure, and witnessed the accident to the lad whom you befriended and took to South Lambeth in year carriage. My friend heard you give the address—it was 7, Wel- lington street, I think—and we followed you there. After you entered the house we WV Mrs. Kennedy come from it, with seine work she was taking home." He paused a moment or two before he spoke again." I will give you his address. His name is Barlow. He took the greatest interest in Mrs. Kennedy's commission, which was only relinquishedbecause she had no money to prosecute it. It is likely he will be glad to take it up again. If be does, and carries it, with your help, to a successful iesue,you will be the means of doing justice to one who has been grievously wrouued." He wrote Mr. Barlow's name and address on a card, and gave it to Honoria. " Is he in his office now, Mr. Milling- ton ?" she asked. "I think you will find him there." '' I)o yon live in the same house to which you took oto on tiro night you bronght mo from Chudleigh?" " Yes." "Thank you. Perhaps you will not mind taking my card. You may wish to say some- thing to me on this or some other matter. Mr. Millington, you have Laid ino under an- other deep obligation to you. I am rich ; money is no object to nee, Should you de- sire to serve anyone and will come to me I shall be more than ever indebted to you." Ha stood with hor card in his hand look- er us she walked towards , ing t. street. So interested. and engrossed wins s 1 e in following her movements that the oard slipped from his hand. The raggedly dressed woman who had not removed her eyes from them during the interview, darted forward and picked it up. "Yes," she mumbled, reading the name and address, "Honoria. It is Honoria 1" A doubt crossed her mind. But there may bo more than one of that name." "The card, please," said Mr. Millington, but site put her hand behind her back. " She is a grand lady—a grand lady 1 You know her, kind sir?" " I know something of hor. I will trouble you for the card." "Don't be in such a.lunrry, kind air. She would'nt thank you for it. What do you knew of her? Where she comes from, eh ? Tell me that, kind sir." "Indeed I shall not tell you. It can be no concern of yours." "If you won't tall me," cried the woman " I'll tell you. What do you say to Chud Leigh, kind sir?" " Come, come," paid Mr. Millington, " you are not the only one who knows that. The lady gave you a shilling ; here's another for you. Now hand me that card. I want the address." " So do I, so do I—and my memory ain't as good as it was. Would you mind writing it down for me ? " Had he not wished to avoid a scene and to get away Mr. Millington would have re- fused, so for Itis own sake, more than that of the wretched woman before hint, he wrote the address on the back of an envelope, and recovered the card. " Would you like me to tell you, kind sir," said the woman, " where she came from before she went to Chudleigh? What do you say to Bittern?" Mr. Millington's memory was notin the same condition as hers, and recollected that. Bittern was the village mentioned by Simp- son on his first introduction to Honoria in Chudleigh as being the place she lived in when quite a little child, with a woman who suddenly disappeared and left her to the mercy of the world. Was this the woman?' This mental question caused him to terry awhile. " Are you a native of Bi ttertt ? " he asked. "No, kind sir." "Of Chudleigh?" " No, kind sir. .1 ain London born and London bred." " But you lived in Bittern a good many years ago, taking care of a child?' She gave him a Roland for his Oliver. "That is no concern of yours," she said "I've got a secret to sell. It might he worth money now she's a fine lady. Who knows —who knows ?" She was hurrying away when he stopped her. "A moment, my good woman. You are not overburdenedwith money." "I am very poor, very poor, kind sir," she whined. "I will give you," said Mr. Millington, producing his purse, "a shilling each if you will answer two questions, two simple, in- nocent questions." It was a temp ing offer ; these shillings represented fine gold in the eyes of the pov- erty-stricken woman and yet she paused. "Depends upon what they are, kind sir." "You did live in Bittern some years ago, and a little child was in your care?" " That's the two questions," she said with cunning. "I mean it as one. The second will fol low." "Y.es, kind sir, I did. Give me the He gave her the money, and sho went away. .Z -ie looked after her thoughtfully,as he had looked after Honoria. It was only when she was out of sight.that he recollect- ed. that Mr. Haldane wa`a"the man who, under a false name, had betrayed the woman who was now passing as Mrs. Kennedy's daughter. .dad he done right or wrong in recommending Honoria to go to Mr. Barlow? He could not determine, nor could he arrive at any conclusion es to the nature of the interest which Honoria took in Mrs. Ken- nedy and her supposed daughter, whom he now believed to be Adeline Decree. Much disturbed in his mind, he walked slowly hoine. CHAPTER XLI. On the 25th of August Honoria made her entrance into Chudleigh. On the day pre- vious Louis Redwood was closeted with his legal advisors—Messrs. Lainb and Fresh- water. " Do you know," said the lawyer that you are absolutely ruined ? "Absolutely?" • "Perhaps not quite that. There is your estate in Warwickshire, upon which there is only a first mortgage. The property is increasing in value." Louis Redwood laughed. "I knew there wasrhofisomething left—always a chestnut in re," '"The last, sir, the last." "I have hoard that before. Yourfriend- ly interest in my welfare makes you take too melancholy a view. There is something still more besides the Warwickshire estate. Conte, confess now, Mr. Lamb." " What I have done in earlier days affords noleftcriter,"ion. I assure you there is nothing ," On your honour as a gentleman ? On my honour as a gentleman," " That settles it. A second mortgage, no, . on the Warwickshire estate. Ho much wcan you raise 7" w "I bog you to consider, sir," " I decline. Money I must have. It is increasing in value, you say. Borrow to the hilt. You have mado inquiries, Iknow, and some sharp fellow is ready to plank the money down. How much ?" "]lifteon thousand," said Mr. Lamb with a sight, "I can break the bank a dozen times over with that amount. But I've a better dig- gings than Monte Carlo, Doncaster, Mr. Lamb, Doncaster. Do you know what will win the Leger? I do, and I'll put a monkey on for you ; but I'm forgetting you never bet, Not my own horse this time, Mr. Lamb. I can get ten to one, ten to one. Before a month has gone by that fifteen thousand will be a hundred thousand, and when once the ball is set rolling it goos on roll'i g• It's a mathematical certainty that the luck must turn if you don't desert your colours. Mr. Lamb, borrow that money for me immediately, without a day's delay, and pay it in to my credit. I am going to Chudleigh to -morrow, and shall be et the Manor Hall till the 8111 of next month. I will run up to London to sign the deeds, or you can send them down to. me. Whichever you please. Meanwhile you can oblige me by paying in to my bank a couple of thousand—say threo. Is that understood ?" " Wo can do what you wish, sir ; but this will be the end." " Not by a long way," said Redwood, shaking hands with his advisers. "Never propbeey.until you know." Honoria's entrance into Chudleigh was an event destined to live in the memory of the oldest inhabitant. The day the guests began to arrive Honoria welcomed them as thou •h shehad been born into the state in which she so strangely found herself. There was no awkwardness in her manners, and those she had invited were quite at home with each other. Mr. Haldane was there, and feeling himself called upon to play a part as st"ange as that of Honoria, he succeeded in concealing 1i10 fesi- ings. His worldly condition had not un- proved. His passion for gambling kept him poor, and on three ,separate occasions Honoria had lent him money. He was in need of a loan now, but Honoria held off somewhat, and told him he must wait. ". You shall have more than you ask for," she said, " beeero our party breaks up." The guests were all men ; there was not, a female among them ; men of the world men about town, drawn together by a certain magnetism, and behaving decorously and with propriety, and yet with a freedom which would not have obtained in the re- straining presence of ladies. On the first night of this gathering an in- cident occurred of which only one of the .guests was cognizant. All the men, with exception of Major Causton, were playing cards or billards. The hour was eleven, and the excitement of gambling kept the men together. Outside on the lawn Honoria and Major Causton were holding watch. " You will not betray mo," said Hon- oria. 'c.As a man of honour and a gentleman," said Major Causton, his handon his hand on his heart, " your secret is mine, and shall not pass my lips." Her own lips curled when he made this re- ference to himself as a gentleman and and a man of honour, but she was satisfied with his assurance. She was to pay him well for such services as she needed from him. If he betrayed her his purse would be so much the lighter. To an impecunious man this fact was a sufficiently strong chain. "Hark 1" said Honoria. "I think I hear their." It was the sound of wheels she heard. The sound came close, and at a signal from Caus- ton, who had gone forward, a carriage with the windows down stopped within fifty yards of the house. Two women, one supporting the other, alighted from the carriage, and Honoria stepped lightly up to them and passed her arm round the weaker of the two. The Hall door was open, ""See if all is safe,' said Honoria to Major Causton, " and wave your handkerchief if no one a" The hi handkerchief was waved, and Honoria and her companions passed into the house, and ascended the stairs to the left wing, the apartments in which were devoted solely to Honoria's use. On the top of the staircase Honoria turned towards Major Causton who was standing at the foot. She put her finger to her lips. Causton nodded, and the three women went into their apartments.
