• TTIR, FATE OF T-FrP• FOS-
BROOKPIS.
When the pieture scheme of recon-
ciliation had failed, 'Rupert grew bitter
and angry with himself few having made
the advance. But when, through s:
Hope, he heard of his mother's des,
and the haughty answer Reginal 7s
messenger had convoyed to the Manor
as from him, gdef and vengeance alternated in his breast, and in the turmoil
he couIcl not paint, 4.d. disappointed his
patrons. A brain fever set in, and he
died execrating his brother Reginald,
and. threatening to haunt him and his
until the wrong wasJ righted.'
Maud, the unf rtanate painter's
widow, though too irond to app,eal to
her haughty sisterei -law, was not too
prond to accept the iome made for her
and her son Ruper by the faithful
steward and his ife ; who, in their
turn, felt it only an mior to devote to:
the service of a Fo brooke the money
they had saved in ot er Fosbrooke ser-
vice. They lived t se the young Ru-
pert married., and i pressed on him for
his descendants this record of family
history and estrange ent, coupled with •
the doom hanging ov r the elder branch
of the family, insisti g that in some
secret manner eve in fatality which
befell a Fosbrooke, h d. been mysteri-
ously foretold or previsioned with-
in the haunted cham er of the discard-
ed. son.
So the story was h nded down to me,
with an addition of issualties by flood
and field which ha carried. off the
Fosbrookes, either in infancy or age,
and which were on to be averted
when the elder Fosb ooke extended the
right handof fellows' ip to the younger.
and Rupert's heirs b came masters of
the Manor.
My grandfather bel eyed this implic-
itly. As for myself, was born in a
skeptical and practisial age, and have
, had to fight ray own ay so sturdily, I
have had no leisure 4o waste on the
ghostly traditions of gone aucestorain
a remote manor-hous
So it might have b en to the end of
the chapter but for combination of
fortuitous eircumsta, ces which, to say
the least, were remai able.
IL
ifriend. Stretto the solicitor, of
Clement's inn, to who I owe whatever
success I have ma e, carne to my
chambers in the Te pl • one summer
day, in unusual ha S e for him, and
. handed me a long bri f and a stiff re-
taining fee, saying:
" There run your e e over that! If
you can ta:lk the jury ver to give our
clients a verdict, your fortune's made !"
and he gave me a q 'ck ta,p on the
shoulder.
I had. taken up the paper languidly..
“Meyers against Fosb ooke."
With a quickening thrill- I ran my
eye rapidly over the brtef, and soon -
made 'myself master o it contents. ,
Th client I was ca led. upon to de-
fend ea Charles F sbrooke, of Fos -
brook Manor; our opi °tient, the plain-
tiff, a eighboring lan lord.: The cause
simpl this:
Th; e of the Squir 'si children had
been rowned by the upsetting of a
small kiff on the mo t.. He at once
vowed no more lives should be given up
to its reedy waters, a d set about its
drain cre. In so doing he unavoidably
diverted the current of a small water-
course known as the F ss -brook, to the
aiege4 detriment and. damage •ef the
plaint ff's property.
Had the plaintiff no been litigious,
the c se might hay been compro-
misedat the outset, ben the Squire
offeredl compensation to _Sir Joseph
Meyer. 1
By a strange coincid nee, a letter lay
open oii my table befor me, containing'
overtures from the opp • site side, where-
in my supposed heredi ary oeitagonism
to the Fosbrookes of • e. Manor was
openly relied on as a r ason why they
should retain me as co nee', and I re-
joice to hold their brief
T It is possible to have too low an esti-
mate of human nature. Why should I,
John Fosbrooke, exercise such gifts as
possessed in order to oppose my own
distant kin, ho had. never done me a
personal wrong?
I had jusil declined the plaintiff's
brief, when Mjr. Stretto put his head
in at the door I show cl him the letter
arid my reply.

I had heard Str tton's remonstrance
as I went, and th.e 'other's annoyed re-
sponse.
I had barely tak n three steps after
my clerk, when a rash and a shriek
called me back. Reginald Fosbrooke
was lying stunned n the pavement, the
page was scrambli .g to his feet, a by-
stander had caugh the affrighted horse,
the carriage -wheel was crashing in col-
lision with a cab iad the lovely occu-
pant was in imminent peril.

She seemed as elms as- the man on
the ground. My c erk Was back by his
time. Shouting to him to bring a doc-
tor to my chamber, and to Stretton to
have his prostrat client conveyed
-thither, I hursied ferward with the in-
Seusible girl in My strong arms,
and placed her , i my own. chair.

He nodded a sortlof ds.zed assent:
Before a doctor reached us iny chaege

over her "dear b other," her "dear
Reggy," was pitiabl ' to witness. *
I did my best to, console her, and to
assure her that he brother was not
dead, only stunned and would doubt-
less recover shortlY and, as she turned
her liquid eyes in t anks on mine, I felt
there was oneFosbr oke who could nev-
er be my enemy.
A couple. of hon s went by before
Reginald Fosbrooke gave a sign -Of . se -
turning animation. The doctor had

,k
Mourning did not *rest the la,wsuits
The Squire, ignorant f Reginald's pro
hibition, wrung my hand at parting
and saddle was sure his cause was i
good hands. I had g ne with them td
the station, possibly d -awn thither by
the grateful thanks n Barbara Fos-,
brooke's every tone 9d gesture. Then
it occtuTed to the Squire that I inight
better understand ho W the ease stood
between him and Myers if I went over
the grounds and traaked the Fosse -
brook; and. he aske me to follow
them down in time fo the poor boy's
funeral. 11
I went back to my hambers musing.
Two strange events had come to pass.
I, the descendant of upert the dis-
carded, had been invited, to the Man-

Perhaps it was the pre ence of under-
takers, and a crowd 8, funeral guests
with mourning robes nd. faces, made
me feel the interior s gloomy In its
grandeur, notwithstanding the faint,
smile of Barbara, and the courteous re-
ception'of Barbara's mether.
Was it chance that assigned to me,
the latest comer in the crowded man-
sion, the. apaetment at he end of the
corridor? I had follo ed the servant
mechanically, my m ud filled with
Barbara's greeting, an not his apolo-
gies; but my rapid survey of the
hastily -prepared cham er set me think-

• There was a Suggestiveness of da np
and rheumatism about the heavy vel et
hunglour-post bed. I declined its n-
vitation, preferring to wrap myself in
my travelling -rug and stretch my li bs
on an antique couch at right an les
with the hearth. A second cigar s nt

awoke shivering, with an uneasy 1 -

.Painter, palette and brush in bat d,
painting away at a picture on 118
easel.
I rubbed my eyes and gave myself a
shake. The artist was still at wo k,
and I saw the picture groavfng un er
his brush. It was an Alpine sc e
familiar to myself. Wow- figures p-
peared upon the canvas, toiling up t e
snowy ascent. The artist looks rou id
at me, and back at hinena,uva,s aga n.
I see delineated a brok--s. rope, a sh v-
ered alpenstock, and. a Ilgure slippi
and falling headlong into a terrible c e-
vasse.

it is cheering. The artist turns rou d.
and smiles. Picture, painter, eas 1,
light, are gone I am shivering in t e
dark, with barely a ray of moo
light struggling in through the WI
dows.
I give myself another shake, say 1 a
an arrant fool, conclude I have be
dreaming, and compose myself to sle
again.
Convinced, when I awaken in t e
morning, that I have beeu dreaming, I
say nothing at the breakfast table of y
broken rest, not caring to excite eith r
alarm or ridicule.
As Stretton and I return to town n
the express the day after the funeral, I
elicit from him that the Squire has a
other son, now travelling in Svvitze
land, to whom, of course the heirsh'is
will descend. After that, I fear Stre
ton has but a stupid companion to t e
end of the journey.

into a shrubbery, and the track of t e
water -course in Oispute, clid not tell i
my client's interest. Nevertheless,
went into court with a conviction

The Squire too to me amazingly,.
and Barbara's heart opened to me. I
hesitated how best to disclose my an-
oestry and propose, for the sweet girl,
when the whole fabric of my future
was shaken by a telegra,m frons. Switzer-
land.
• Charles Edward Fosbrooke had per-
ished in the ascent of .the Simplou. I
was staggered, and the whole family
were overwhelmed'. It was no time for
love proposals.
I volunteered .a jouruey for the re-
covery of the body; saying that I knew
the precise spot in which be was lying.
This involved explanation of what I
called my dream.
" Dream ! It was no dream," cried
Barbara and her parents, simultane-
ously.
"But who are you?" demanded the
Squire, rising to his feet, who have
seen the spectra_ painter of our
house? Rupert Fosbrooke never re-
veals the future saVe to one of his own
near kin."
My answer and is effect ma,y be im-
agined. An avalanche could. scarcely
have overwhelmed them more com-
pletely. The old Squire, his eyes
suffused with tears, held out his hand
to me.
"This is no time to perpetuate
feud," said he. "Fate is too strong for
Need I add that I went to Switzer-
land and recovered the remains of the
last heir of the elder Fosbrookes.
But ere I tools my departure, un:
known to the family I spent a night in
the haunted chamber, still inclined to
be skeptical. I came out next moining
converted. Once more the mountain
scene was painted before me, but I saw
myself and guides recovering the lost,
and the means employed,
Another picture was painted before
'me, and then the artist seemed to fling
brushes and palette aside, and vanish
with a benediction.
* * *
I stand, with my now acknowledged
relatives, by the grave lof the Squire's
last son, and see his tears fall fast
on the coffin -lid before he turns away,
and, graspinaemy hand, calls me
with a, sigh • the heir of Fosbrooke
Manor. •
I could hardly realize it then. I can
realize it now, as I stand ,amid a per -
;feet, bower of holly and. evergreens at
Christmas in a pretty country church,
and clasp the hand of Barbara before
the altar, in that bond which. forever re-
unites the several branches, and averts
the fate of the Fosbrookes.
And this was the last picture shown
o me—now a Fosbrooke o Fosbrooke,
picture of love and peace and goOd-
will at Christmas tide.,—The Argosy.
