iad fiuisl l my .dinner, and, having
nude myself comfortable with a
dazing fire and a cigar, set to work
Ilion an article of which I hoped to
nem the skeleton completed before

I was getting on quite nicely,ttnd

speedily followed by the entrance of
Mr Turner himself, in an indescrib-

his pale face and rumpled heir, I
naturally concluded that I baddone
Nemesis an injustice,and exclaimed,
'Has there been an accident after•

But he spread out his hands with
a gesture of despair, 'Ah, no. No

As soon as I had got rid of Rev
Simeon, I went to bed. I could
think of nothing but poor trim and
the cruel blow which it would be

row.
CHAPTER VI.
As matters fell out, the task of
enlightening Lord Staines was
thrown upon tey shoulders; in addi-
tion to that with which I had al-
ready saddled myself; for scarcely
bad I finished my breakfast when
Mr Tulner arrived, trembling and
breathless, to say that he really did
not feel equal to the task of encoun-
tering the brunt of his patron's
wrath.
'Indeed,' he added, with a, ludi-
crous effort to regain his accustomed
suave pomposity, 'I am not sure
that it would be right on my part
to do so. I have not forgotten the
very improper terns in which Lord
Staines chose to address me when I
called before to see him on a similar
errand, and both for his sake and
my own, any repetition of such a
scene, is-er-to be deprecated. To
you profanity of language would be
less shocking at least, I mean that
you must be more accustomed to
the hearing of it ; and-er-er- - in
short-'
'In short,' I interrupted; not over.
respectfully - for really, the Rev
Simeon's aspect at thatmoment-was
not calculated to induce respect
'you want me to do your dirty wot k
for you. Very well ; I don't parti-
cularly mind ; I may as . well be,
hanged for a sheep as a lamb. Only
I don't propose to prevent Lord
Staines from going down to the rec-
tory later in ,the day and shocking
you with the profane language. It
may not be altogethe r your fault
that your daughter has disgraced
herself and inveigled Bracknell into
disgracing himself with her,but you
may as well be prepared to be told
that it is. If I were in your place
I should be a good deal more fright-
ened of .rim Leigh than of Lord
Staines.
'Gently, my dear young friend,
gently. You are excited, and I'do
not blatne you for it but to say
that my daughter has disgraced her-
self is to say too much -a great deal
too niuoh. That she did very wrong
e
in engaging herself to Jim I allow,
and he will not find me slow to ex-
press my sincere sorrow and sym-
pathy ; but we must beat in mind
that her affections wore given in the
first place to Lord Bruited'. I
will not say that the young people
were justified in rtakine the law into
their own "hands ; yet,, I may doubt
whether Lord Staines' motives for
forbidding thew to marry were of
the highest kind. Now, do not an-
swer me, I beg you. I can see that
3 ou are not yet master cf yourself.
.If you will allow me I .will go.up-
stairs and sit with your dear moth-
er while you walk over to Staines

CHAPTER-, VII.
-The hero of this narrative is, of
course, Jim Leigh. It is true that
Jim is not and never has been a
particularly heroic personage; still,
so far es heroic writers and readers
are concerned, he btands ,fur the
time being, in that proud position,
and must abide by the consequences
of it. One of these is necessarily
the oocurence of a considerable hia-
tus in the record of his career ; tor
what is an unfortunate writer to do
when .his hero disappears into. the
interior of Abyssinia, or the least
frequented proviuces of India, and
will give no account of himself for
months together ? If I only knew
something of the circumstances un-
der which, during all those years
Jim slaughtered lions, tigers and
elephants and bears in the happy
hunting grounds ofthree continents,
I should doubtless have many a
thrilling adventure to chronicle;
but I could never get anything but
the most bald and meager recital of
his performances out of him ; nor
do I dare to draw upon my imagina-
tion, for my own sporting exper-
iences do not extend upon the shoot-
ing of partridges and pheasants,and
even those I am very apt to miss
when flurried.
Unfortunately, too, Jim is one of
the worst correspondents' have ever
itacl to dealwith. wi h I did indeed re-
ceive letters frcm him with tolerable
regularity ; but for any information
ofinterest that they contained, they
might as well have been written up-
on the back of a Resta' card. 'It is
hot here, but I have of so

-ing two- fine tigers; but our average

I interrupted, 'that I at least, can

had any power over them, I should
have done my best to put a stop to

waste good indignation upon such
hopeless inaptitude.
'Pray, do so, Mr Turner,' Lan-
swered ; 'my mother will be very
glad to see you.. Only I hope you
will kindly refrain from expounding
your views with regarii to your
daughter's marriage to her, because
she is rather subject, to attacks of
nausea.'
Wath this valedictory shot I sat
out to perform the first and least
painful of the duties which I had.
accepted. I found Lord Staines int -
his study, and apparently in a bad
humot.
'Oh, how do you du, Maynar,' he
said, looking up from the letter he
was writing. 'Do you happen to
know anything about that fellow

I thought there was nothing to be
pined by putting off the evil mo -
men t.
'I can't toll yon where Lord
Bracknell is,l.ord Staines,' I replied,
'but I have come here to give you
some very unpleasant news about

the registrar's office to Hilda Tur-

Lord Staines started up, over-
turning bis chair. A rush of blood
made bis cheeks crimson for a mo-
ment, and then ebbed slowly away,
leaving thou: of,,a chalky whiteness.
For a full minute he uttered never
a word ; then he advanced slowly
towards mo from behind the table,
trembling a good deal, 'Maynard,
