'I have been about nothing—
never troubled my head about it, one
Bay or the other.'
'Winne did Hugh Trevor die ?'
'Only a few weeks ago.'
'And Lord Rosatrevor ?'
'Died last night at Trevor Hall, I
am going there in the morning.'
'I see,she said. She eat for some
minutes gently stroking hie hand
between her own, then she broke
out --'Oh 1 if my dear Connie had
lived to see this day, my dear girl,
how overjoyed she would have been.
Not that Connie ever oared for hon
ore of that kind, elle was far too
unworldly for that, But it would
have been a delight to her, and
would have, so to speak, justified
her love for your father, You don't
know, but I remember how Margaret
gave herself airs to Connie, and, al.
though Dennie nover said a word, it
must have been hard to bear. How.
ever, I've no doubt Margaret .will he
very civil to you now, only I do wish
lay darling had lived to see this day.
You have been to Grosvenor Square?'
she asked in a different tone.
'Yee. I thought you would be
there ; you told mo.you were to dine
there to -night, so' went there first.'
'But you saw your uncle?'
'Oh, yes—I only stayed a minute
or two because of the dinner -party.
He was tremendonely pleased about
it.
'Of course—of ouuree.'
Jack stayed nearly, anhour, with
the o'd lady ant talked over the sit-
uation with her from every possible
standpoint. Ho really knew very
little ofthe family of which he was
now the bead, only that there we're
two estates, one in Ireland and one
in Norfolk, Lady Gascoigne, how-
ever, was a woman blessed with a
marvellous memory, and she set
herjelf at onoe to think out all that
she had ever heard in connection
aith the Trevor family.
'They are certainly rich.; ass, it
is a rich house. Yon see Lord Rosa•
trevor had lived the life of a recluse
for so many years that people had
almost forgotten that he existed.
But I know; Lady George A'Court
told the some yearn ago that sae had
stayed at Trevor Hell as a young
girl, and that it was a very fine
place. But, of °aurae, yen will see
all that to -morrow. You will let me
have all the news as soon as poesibls,
won't you ?'
'Yes, Granny dear, of course I
will,' ho answered, then got np, de.
Glaring that he mat be off, it Was
getting dreadfully late, and that he
had disturbed her quite enough for
one night already withoutkeeping
her out of bed till the small hours.
'My dear boy,' cried Lady Gas-
coigne—'I shall not sleep at all. I
shall not even go to bed for hours,
and I daresay your uncle will come
to see me when hie guests have
gone. But de you go, dear ; you
must have a great deal to do, and
you will have the satisfaction of
knotting that you made the old
Granny very happy by bringing her
the news as soon as .you had it,
Next, I suppose, you will be bring
ing me news of a mistress for hoes-
trevor.'
'Dear Granny, I'm afraid not,' he
said, shakiuc his bead.
She recognised the sad ring in hie
voice. 'Jack, my boy,' she said
gently, 'I'm afraid something has
gone wrong with yon in that way.'
'In a measure, yes, Granny,' he
answered, 'but perbaps it will oome
right, after all; we can never tell.
^Only I'd rather not talk about it, if
you don't mind.'
'No, no ; I don't want to worry
him. 'Lord Rosstrevor ?' he inquir-
ed, touching his fiat,
'I am Mr. Trevor—yes,' Jack an.
steered, feeling a repugnance to be
using his deadlcinsulan's Mune while
ho was yet unburied:
Tho servant took his one from his
new master. 'The carriage is this
way, sir,' he said, .so Jack followed
him and got into ilei eomfortablo
brougham,
'How is Viokars gang ?' lie asked.
'Is it far to the Hall ?'
'About three miles, sir,' the servant
answered. '\Vd can manage very
well outside,'
'Very well.' And then the man
shut the door, and in loss than two
minutes they started for ,the home
of his ancestors, at least for ono of
the halls of his ancestors.
It seemed a long drive, but when
they passed through a pleasant little
village Jack knew that they must be
coming very near to the' Hall. Then
they got out into the country road
again, and, after going about a gnar.
ter of a mile, turned to the right and
went through wide iron gates and
past a piotureeque lodge, where it
tidy woman stood curtseying her
welcome to the new lord,
Hs did not like to look out too
eagerly, but without doing that .he
saw that he was passing under an
avenue of in tgniacent oaks, and then
the corner of a pile of buildings
came in eight and they swept 'tinder
a huge portico and Dame to a stand-
still.
Jack Trevor always felt afterwards
thafit was a blessed thing for him
that he had -been acaustomad' to big.
houses all his life ; for assuredly had
he not been so, the palatial splendor
of Trevor Hill would have Imo
enough to take his breath away. It
was all so big, so stately, with all
the dignity of oak and armour and
stained glass.. Tile hall was like a
great b,rnquetting-room, the stair-
case a picture gallery and you might
have driven a coach and six up it
with ease and have turned it on the
great landing above, or, at least, so
the people who knew the place were
in the habit of saying.
Theu there were drawing•roome
and boudoirs galore, and several
conservatories opening one out of
another and into the house at var•
ious points, and the stables were
many and filled with capital cattle,
although the late lord had not ridden
for many a year, and seldom, if ever,
drove more than a mils or two in the
sunnieet hour of the day.
Jack refused to have lunch, but
said that he would like to go to hie
room, and forthwith they took him
up to a large and 'handsome bed-
room, which he fancied would be
pleasant wheu he saw it with the
blinds up. And after this he had
plenty of work to do -to hear all the
lawyers: had to say—to have inter-
views with the steward and all the
principal neighbors, then the ordeal
of the funeral, during which he felt
that he was not only the observed
of all obaervers, but also that the
impression people, his future neigh-
bors,reoeived of him that day would
greatly influence them for or against
him during his whole life. Then he
had to write a long letter every day
to Ethel Dennis, and a letter or two
to his grandmother.
So a whole week wont by. The
king was dead ; the new king lived,
long live the king 1 He began to
get need to being oalled by his new
name, he began to gat more used to
being the lord of all this grandeur
and wealth ; and after a week of it
he felt as if he would like to go up
to town for a day or two and make
about it, dear. But tell me, Jack, his arrangements for leaving the
have you a clear idea of how you Service. Oa the way up to London,
as he passed through Ipswich, he
heard the newsboys crying the
morning papers,—'Evening Newd—
Star—Globe; 'Orrid murder of an
offioer in The Flats.'
(To DE CONTINUED
come to Tie next to this title ?
'Not very. I think it ie like this,'
and he went to a writing•table and
quickly sketched out the best family
troe that his limited information on
the subject would allow :
Lord Rosstrovor,
Edward. Mary, George.
II Edward.
,Arabella. Willieen, George Hugh. Jolie.

cI believe it was like this, Granny.
My grandfather was George, who
was out off—his eldest brother was
Edward, and Edward had three
children, Arabella, `William and
George Hugh. George Hugh died
last year without children, and Wil-
liam, the Lord Roestrevor who died
yeeterday, was never married. And
now I must be off, dear. Good
night.'
She kissed him tenderly and be
wont away, and in lees than half an
hour was in bed and asleep. He
slept like a top, and woke in
the morning in fair time, gave his
man directions to pack hie things in
time for the train leaving Liverpioi
