Guildford 'Berton flung biuself into
the chair lately occupied by Mr. iturlong,
and clasped his foreheadwith his hands.
The revelation he had heard was so
stupendous that he had scarcely realized
it, or its effect upon his hopes and am-
bitions. Ilow long he sat staring before
hire, .and going over and over the preg-
nant words which Furlong had whis-
pered, he did not know; but suddenly he
was arroused by a sound of hammering
at the door in the wall.
He started to his feet, white with fear,
his over -strained nerves setting hint
shaking and trembling. 'Then he took
the lantern, and with unsteady feet went
down to the gate, '
"Who's there?" he demanded.
"Is that -you, sir?" came the response.
"For God's sake; come up to the Court,
Mr. Berton;" •
He opened the door, but not fully, and,
holding up the lantern, saw' one of We

"Come at once,' sir," replied the groom.
"The eq.rl is dying—is ti, dead by anis

Guildford Berton went back for hiscoat.
and hat, moving like t man iii a dream.
"Here, take my horse, sir," said the
