The glamour of love was over him. and she knew that she dared not epoak. She soon reaehea her destination and the Earl was left glom with his thoughts, In a. week party was to disperse, and the Earl decided to arge imme- diate marriage, that all arrangemente might he made to receive his daughter at her horne-corning in June, at the close of the school, and he found no op- position to his plane. The non. Mrs. Smith took rooms at the Victoria. Ho- tel and made all arrangements for her approaehing marriege. "It would never do in the world to have it sitia that the Earl of leunraxen had married in that shabby little hozne in Curzon street; besides, there was a whole host of her near neighbons that would. expect invitations, and this would never do at all. She could not as the Countese of Duuraven be expected to acknowledge the acquain.tance any longer of the Waterleys, and the But- terfords aad the like ilk. There were some ueighbore that were Army people, wilo had most merellesaly arnsbbed the Smiths. Thesse people ahe would show a thing or two.

In a short time there was a very quiet wedding at St. Paul's, and the Raid and Countees Dunraven went on the ()anti- nent for a few months' tour. The da.ughters returned alone to tile little. shabby house on Oureon street to await their return. CHAPTER V11. Lord Wedderburn went to town and told the story to hie solicitora. These men were greatly It certain,- ly wee a strange story, and Lord Wed- derhurn's film pleaded with them tor !help. They could plainly see that he had suifered greatly. "It le certainly a strange story. 1 can not urderStand how the young lady could drop 50 completely out of exalt - once," said Mr. Weller, the senior of the firm. "Who is Dorothy W3rnter? There newt be some mystery concerning her, since Lord Wedderburn remembers on one oceaaion hearing Dame Wynter re- mark that she was no kith nor kin of here. It is probably our best plan to ascertain who Dorothy Wynter is. 1 am aute our only pos-sible way ie to trace the man Bougleman-he certainty knows something to give a elue whereby we may set to worka' remark- ed Mr. Wiggirre. "I agree with Lord Wedderburn that the most probable solution of the diffi- culty lies in the supposition that she is dead. There are many railway a,e,cidentee about thie time and they both may have been killed -in fact, I feel very nearly convinced that euch is the ease. It is a, grave situation for Our young friend. He must set about ascertaining if the man who performed the ceremony ia really a clergyman or having power to peiform suelz a ceremony. "Then having proved thie, the next istep will be to trace the • whereabouts of the girl or Boughenan. I am inelined to believe that the ceremony was legal, end was actuated by Some motive that I cannot understand in the dame, Per - Imps ahe had a good reason for wiehing the girl, Dorothy, to be Lady Wedder- burn, At any rate, as the matter etands at present, it would be most 'unsafe for Lord. Weclderburn to contratit another marriage -that ia now imposeible. If it can be proven this merriage hi Iegal marriage, then it will be e, most for- tunate thie for our client." Mr. Miller held so etrong to the belief in the rail- way accident that be resolved to employ detectives to tree° the matter up, Mr, Wiggins had a theory of hie own that he firmly believed in. Lord Wedderbarn wiles almost non- vinced that he should hear that Dorothy was dead. She inuet have met with an aceident. She Was and ea innocent ae the floweas that grew on the moor- lande, awl as unused to the world. She knew that he 'was to be found at °tette Itoyal.

He put the letter in his safe and started at one°, His heert Wee heievy, Ifere was elmomt conclusive proof. Hie Dorothy lay could and dead in an un- known grave, inetead of laying in the great ferully vault of the tionies. Lord Wedderburn blamed himself se- verely.

Every one that looked on las pale, sad face was filled. with sympathy for him. There wee grief written in every feature of hie face. When he reached Lyznwick station he decided to walk over the eields to the town. He did not wish to excite comment or notice of any kind. The detectives lead their permits ready and they soon exhumed the body of tho girl. When the coffin was raiaed and the lid about tg be removed, Lord \Vedder- burn grew auddenly ill, He could hardly see fin the white film before hie eyes. He trembled violently, and it was by the greatest exertion he could etand the ordeal, onTehaeppmroe4nehreetmuoirjr. the eoffia and "The body le in a tolerable eta,te of preservation, Come at once, my lord." He followed the man. There before him lay a. girl that was very like his Dorothy, and still unlike lien He could not decide even now. There Wa3 wealth of hair, but it was not golden, as was Dorothfe, There was a *hemp look ou the face, but death might hare caused that. After all; he wee not con- vinced. Parkins had made the dreeie she wore off, and Parkleas would remember the goods. One of the detectives; cut a enas,11 piece and handed it to Lord Wed- derbuen, who knelt beside the open coffin and cut a strand of the long, foright hair, which he tremblingly platted In hie pocketbook with the sample. After all, he was no more convinced than be- fore. The detective saw his doubt and said; "You must be prepared for great ehangee, my lord; death hardens the features so that dearest friends do not reetegnize them. It has, perhaps, dis- colored her hair. We can tell you of hundrede of incidents of this fillaDe thing. It is our busdneas to know these things." They replaced the body in its resting - place, teed, as the earth fell on the coffin too xnercilessly hard, Lord Wed- derburn lean.ed heavily ageing a tree near by, lest be should fall.. They Soon unearthed the other body, and when the face was exposed to view it was clearly seen it was not the man they sought, It did not take long to reolace the body as they found it, and as Lord Wedderburn started to retrace his steps to the /station, he looked back at the little unknown, unmarked grave, and his heart ached sorely. He had come to be convinced, but he was not. The certainty that he had expected, he had not. Still those men were almost sure. Death changes everything, they said, and perhaps it had. frozen. his Dorothy's bright Ines into the hard cold oue he had seen. In a few days there was a beautiful eolumn erected over the grave of the girl. It was a beautiful broken shaft with flowers drooping over its sides, and on it was instribed; "Sacred. to the memory of my belowed Dorothy, aged about fifteen years." The few who no- ticed the shaft and. the inecription, thought it belonged to some of the graves near it, and that Dorothy was a beloved child of the family. Lord Wedderburn went home to Gas. tle Royal with the same etching, heavy heart. He was haunted by the dead face he bad. seen. He had grown to think of it as Dorothy, and he was more restleea than ever. One June evening he went to walk on the moors. There was Parkins, the castle housekeeper, who had been to the village. How should he shqw her the piece of the "dead girl's dress he had in his pocket he did not know. Before them, cold, dark and dreary, lay old Lenthill. Lord Wedderburn pennted to it. sa're old place looks more gloonay than ever, 'ince Dame Winter's death,' he "Yes, and it seems so strange to me that we have received no tiding; from Dorothy and that man. My heart etches yet that I let her, go with him. He had such an evil fece.' "You did your &Ay by her. You =de her clothes, did you not?" She did not notice the anxiety in hie voice. "I made her two black dreesee, Th were of old goods it is true, hut she co could not go out with her rags on, and I did all I could for her."

"I shall joiut a party for the contin- ent," said another, "I shall spend my summer at the Isle of Wight," said another. :Each one had hopeful anticipations. "What have you planned?" askea one girl, of Elise Duuraven. "I have no plane for the future My future is very eineertainl' she replied. There was a world. of eadnees in the tone, which deeply impreesed every lis- tener, At lest some one broke the pain- ful eilence by saying to Dorothy, "and w'hat are you going to clo, Doeothy?" "My future will likely be too absurdly eommonplaee to speak of," she eald, -with a laugh; "etill I think I shell take a few music scholars Etna strive to ex., 1st."

"I shall eee too," said one of more voices. otbIlro,w ;ball we find yon?" asked an - "Perhaps can arrange it through Mae dam Brown," said Dorothy, There was no ;sadness in her voice. If her world was not ae brillient as it might be, it was through no fault of hers. She would, meet her trials bravely. There was not even the faintest tone of ;tallness in her voice, and every one admired her bravery, Madera() Brown's school being patron- ized, by the daughters of the eristocracy there was always a crush at the clotting exereleee. Captain H— had insisted that Lord Wedderburn attend with. him, slime his sister was one of the gradu- ates; but Lord Wedderburn did not de- cide to do so until late, and they were almost the last arrivals there, If they could have been earlier, they would haye witneesed, a scene long to be re- membered .As the girls filed into the great hall every eye was turned upon the Earlts sick daughter leaning heavily on the arm ef her companion. The Earl's daughter looked indeed ill with her pale, dark face and her great haggard eyes. She had, been too but had insisted faun ef.iniehing all the exercises with the rest of her class. They were like pictures of sunlight and darkness. Elsie Dunn. - Yen looked like a picture of death In her Balmy eilken robe that showed off the great and death -like pallor of her Dorothy was clad in a filmy, black sil- ken tulle with a bunch of white clover at her belt. Her cheeks were like roses that blushed at the greeting of dewy morn. Her hair lay like coils of golden sunlight. A more bea,utiful girl then Dorothy Wynter 'Wile seldom eeen, and every eye was turned upon the strange- ly mated pair as they slowly wended their way through the throng, and a strange hush pervaded the whole room. Captain H-- and Lord Wedderburn entered the room as the last mites of IL song died on the air. Dorothy Wynter had sung a weird little Swiee sone. and her bell -like tonee floated on thl eir and thrilled every one with pleasure, and the clear ringing of the voice sounded like that of some sweet, Swiss nightingale, that brought with it the elearneee and chill as if just from wane snowy Alpine peak. Lord Wedderburn heard the last few words of the song, and it thrilled him strangely, He turned to get a view of the singer, but a great marble column obstruoted his view, and he could only cateh a sight of one tiny form draped in black, The sight of those girlish faces made him He could think of no one but Dorothy -his loot Dorothy -and he soon excused himself to his friends and left the room. After the school closed, friends came for Elise Dunraven, and the parting game. Dorothy started out in. the great, cold. world. alone. She went out and hunted her a room. It was a small one in a second storey .It contained a small, faded carpet and a tiny bed, but its cheapness had recommended it tof Dor- othy. The single, little window looked out on a small park, where the spar- rows twittered from morning until night, but the green grase and trees sent seupeoandd-serroreyfrargoroctmm.e even to the small Dorothy was happy. The little money she had was barely sufficient to pay leer room rent, but she was full of hope and life. She rented her a piano, and bought a few coals that she might light a fire on cool evenings, and sat herself down tp her first meal alone. She had no thoughts that her money was almost gone, or that her landlady eyed her cur- iously. She ate her bread and butter, drank her °up of water since tea, was too expensive a luxury for every day UM% and elot was happy as could be.
