I have nerves, though no one ever con-

not one pop at the partridges! Oh! why
couldn't Mrs. Illgralll have postponed

hours, at least?"
Charley gently lapsed into balmy slum-
ber, while hie mather, quite dizzy with
all these horrors and astounding revela-
t'ons, sought out her daughter on the
terrace.
But Sybil was not there. She had
wandered off to a little rose -garden,
where fountains plashed, and rich red
and white roses -the royal flower of love
-bloomed in wanton profusion.
A fairy vision, she stood there, her
little dogs frisking about her and mak-
ing fairy music with their silver bells --
the sweetest rose among the roses -when
a step came eraishieg over turf and
gravel -.-a step she knew dearly and, well :
--and a tall form stood between her and i
the rosy western light.
" bill"
She looked up -the eloquent glow on
her cheeks, the starry radiance in her
eyes -then, again, down. "Dime great

how you keep your plighted troth?"
Hie laughed. Then the laugh died
aw,..ey, and she came dose to him, with a
patine cheek end a shiver.
";011, Cyrill"-she laid both white
hands in his, and looked at hirn with
tears in her violet eyes -"how could you
deeeive me so? And see what a
tragedy it has evoked! That wretched
man -that wretched woman! And your
father -Oh, pitiful heaven! what a fate
his has been."
"My poor father! But I could not
have averted that. When I came to
Speekhaven the town was ringing with
the news of his disappearance, and the
usurper of usy rights was here. It was
too late, then. His fate was as dense
a mystery to me as to all others. And
Sybil, I saw you, and I loved you from
the first., and I determined, und.er my in-
cognito, to woo and win you. Cyril Tre-
vanion hod been the dream and the ideal
of your young life. As Cyril Trevanion,
there would be little merit in winning
you; it might be your own ideal you
would still love, not the real man. But
as Angus Maegregor, the penniless ten-
ant of the Retreat -the hard-workieg
magazine hack -to win the lovely heir -
('S e Ao many had sought in vain -ah,
that, indeed, would. be a triumph. There
is the secret of my long incognito,
though I tell it to no one but ;you. And
my darling, who so nobly loved. and ac-
cepted the obscure author, will love still
more dearly Cousin Cyril. For 311C, I am
the happiest man on earth!"
And then Cyril and Sybil, and Bijou,
and Amour set up furious and indignant
yelps of expostulation; for this audaci-
ous male intruder deliberately kissed
their Mistress!
"And Mrs. Ingram, Cyril? She is
your -your —"
"Not wife, Sybil -she never was that;
hut she. is the W01113,11 who duped me in-
to eloping with her sixteen years ago -
who wrought the ruin of ins life. It
was no marriage at the bet -contracted
by a miner, without a license, and. per-
formed by the Blacksmith of Gretna.

"How cruel she has been! bow ter-

.0,7iII never forgive her for that, Cyril -
never -never!"
"Don't think of it, my dearest; such
honors are not for your gentle ears or

be placed in the family vault. And. my
dear Jove, there is so much to be done

The inquest W4.144 held next day, and
the verdiet returned, "Wilful murder."
A earritege and two eti ili3 tit btes were in
waiting to convey the prisoner to Spelt -
haven jail, to stand. her trial, at the aut-
umn assizes, for life.

"You are my eon," she said, "and 1

you can not; but forget me, if you Call.
It asas just retributi-on that you should
have arrested me in the act. Good-bye!"
And then she turned to Cyril Trevan-
ion, standing with folded arms, tembly
stern and grave.
"I neither ask you to forgive nor for-
get. You will be happy in spite of me.

inelAPTER *XXX.
Laid. in a rude pine eoffin, without
'shrive or ehroud, they buried her, in the
twilight of the same day, in the dreary
prison burial ground. And among all
who had admired the brilliant widow,
there was not one to look his last on her
now, or mourn over that tunhaelowed
grave. ,
And a week later a long and stately
procession followed the plumed hearse
that bore General Ewes Trevanion to his
ltnet resting place, in the vaults of the
old monastic church. And the lion of -
the day -the talk of the county -this
modem hero of romance, Cyril Trevan-
ion, followed as chief mourner, looking
unspeakably handsome and patrician in
his .sables -a corsair or a lord to the life,
There had been still. a. third funeral -
a very quiet one -and Gen. Trevemon's
younger son, so foully murdered, was
'also laid in his long !name. It WAS a.
g,rievesonae week with its three funerals:
and straightway they were buried and
out of sight, people set themselves to
the task of forgetting as rapidly as
might be. It was the old sublime lesson
of life over again -your fate and mine,
iionie day -told in three words -dead
and forpt ten.
:Perhaps'of all who remembered, there
was none felt the pain of loss more
acutely than Sir Rupert Chudleigin ells
astonishment, his indignation, his dis-
gust, were altogether unutterable. And
he had been so awfully near making a
donkey of himself, tool
"Thank God! I never asked the wo-
man to marry me!" was his first fervent
aspiration. "To think of her being so •
stupid as to let herself be found out!"
But he missed her terribly. Like Lady
Clara Vere de Vere, the "languid. tight
of his proud eyes grew weary of the roll -
nig hours," and. like the high -bred,
heartless beauty, he 'sickened •of a vague
disease" -the :horrible disease of ennui
--more horrible than hydrophobia; itself,
The long September and October days
were endless; no one to amuse him -to
play witching little games of ecaxte, to '
sing hint to eleep, to read for him in a
voice that was ,as the music of the
spheres to write his notes, to arrange
his pdows and footstools. Sir Rupert
fell a prey to green and yellow melan-
choly, and "man nor woman delighted
hint not."
But Gwendoline was happy -emanci-
pated. Gwen!

elope with him if he chose. But Men-
tagenet did not choose -he was a great
deal too lazy for any such exertien. He
stroked his brown moustache, and re-
igned himself to be petted and made
much of with a gentle resignation touch-
ing to see, but he didn't reciprocate -

There is no religious tenet that has
taken so strong a hold of the popular
mind of to -day as that the clergy should
be unworldly and should live altogether
above and beyond any consideration for
this world's comfort. The idea that a
minister should get a good salary is ac-
counted by many a popular declaimer
as a sufficient condennuttiou of all re-
ligion. It is, according to the advocates
of the people, for such that religion ex-

Prom the first week the rabbits snb-

excitation, diffleulty of breathing, and
an abundant production of nasal muc-

to the 'smoke, and no longer showed
signs of excitation. In all the rabbits,
however, after some time there eould be
noted progressive 'wasting.
