'PIiey could not see the lush at first,
Muse she held It Iu front of her in
her left hated, and It was of the same
color as her dark tailor-made dress;
but the Bride jerked her right wrist
gently, and then a thing like an at-
tenuated brown snake, twelve feet
long, lay stretched twill the wet
Gement of the yard eel If by magus
Swiftly then oho raised her arm, and
they two spectators felt it fine line
of water strike their tacos as the
lash mime "p from the wet cement ;
looking up, they saw a long black
streak undulating for an inatnta
above the young lady's heed, and
then they heard a whiz, followed by
all almost deafening report. The
lash lay of the ground again, quiver-
ing. Coachman and stable -buy in-
stinctively flattened their locks
against the coach -house door.
That," said the bride, "le the plain
thlug. hell this!"
Again the hag inch trembled over
her head ; again it oracked like a gun-
shot xomewhere in front of her, but
Ms time, by the help of the recall
and by the sheer strength of her
wrist, the lash darted out again be-
hind her—as it seemed, under her
very arm, aid let out the report of a
xsasond ibarrel in the rear. And this
tore -and -aft moll -cracking went on
without Intermission for at haat n
minute --that minute during which
the Judge's shaving e -ns interrupted.
That it stopped. and there was a fine
wiW light In the bride's eyes, and her
breath came quickly, add her lips
and cheeks were glowing crimson.
The phlegmatic lad was quite
speechless, and, In fact, with his
gnplug mouth mid lolling tongue,
ho presented n rather cruel NW -
tack). But the coacttmatr found an
awe-struck word or two; "My 40111

"AIL" Bald the bride, "that Is
something flee,, ain't It, :hough ?
I wonder I hadn't forgotten It. And
now you havo a try, old map I"
Honest Garrod, the coachman,
opened tills eyes wide. Ile knew that

that Mrs. Alfred was an Austrullau,
but be could scarcely believe his

snore naturally than the "nem,'
"Couto toil" cried the bride.
"I'd rather not, alas—Gnaw" Held
the coachman.
What rot 1" said Gladys. " Here
—that's It—bravoI Now blaze
away!"
The old man had given in, ehnply
because this extraordinary young
lady was irresistible, The first re-
sult of his woakiwsa was a yell of
pain from the stable -boy; the poor
lad's Lace was bleeding where lite
lash bad struck It. (tough apologies
followed. Then the old coach-
mabmwho was not without met-
tle, and was 011 u, fur
the moment—took off his coat and
tried again. After many futile efforts,
however, he only succeeded in roiling
the lash tightly atolnd ills own legs;
and that made an end of It ; the old
man gave It up.
"Show us Rome more, mum," said
he. "I've got too old and stiff for them
.gamew"—as if In his y0tttlt he had
been quite at home with the eta,k-
wbip, and only of late yeare had got
runty in the art of cracking it.
'Right you are,' said Gindys, gay-
ly, when her laughter was over—

oal laugh. "Glve me the whip. Now,

Her eyes sparkled with excitement;
Rho was rather overesrlted, per-
haps. She placed the coin upon the
ground, retreated several tutees,
nlmsnrevl the dtataace with her eye,
and smartly rattled the handle of the
stack whip. The crack that followed
was the plan, stratghtforward creek,
only executed with greater preel-
sloe than before. Then she hail re.
wedded nothing tlo touch as an
angler Idly flogging a strcntn; the
difference was that now, a- it Gare,
Otto was throwing at a rise. And
she threw with wonderful skill; for,
at the first crack, the tbi-sover-
eign epun high into the air and fell
with a ring upon the erment; she
neui picked it up on the point of
the lash!
It was tt surprising boat. That she
managed to accomplish it nt the
first attempt surprised no one do
much as the bride herself. This also
added In a dangerous degree to her
excitement, She was now la little
k+Oe than a frenzy, She seemed to
forget where she was, and to think
that mho was blink on the Station
In Nov South Wales, whore elle
could do what elm IlkdxI.
"Now that you`vo seen that I
can do that," oho cried to the lad,
"eland you with your back to the
wall there, Hood I'll take your hat
off for you1"
The answer of the dull youth was
astonishingly wise. Ile said milli-
bar. at all, but beat a hasty retreat
Into the safety of the etable-room.
She turned to the trembling Garrod.
"Then you 1"
Even as he demurred he saw tier
hand go tip. Next moment the whip-
cord Hissed past his fere and there
was a Beate lttng report in his right
ear, and the next a fearful explosion
just under his left ear, anti many
more at every turn and corner of his
face, while the poor man stood with
cloned eyes and uttered prayers. It
was an elaborate eubetitute for the
ntsnpder fpn et whipping his cap o(f,the
unhappy creature being bareheaded
already. At last, feeling himeelf still
untouched, Garrod opened hie ryes,
watched lila opportunity, and, while
the lash still quivered to mid-air,
turned and made a vallinnt bolt for
shelter. His shirt wee cut between
the shoulder blades ne cleanly no
though a knife had done lt, but he
reached the eaddle•room with a whole
skin.
"Ye cowardly devils," roared the
Bride, now beside herself—her dark
eyee ablaze with dlnbollcal merri-
ment. "I'11 keep you there all day,
so help nut It you don't come out of
It." And, ill the execution of her
threot, the long lash cracked in the
doorway with terrifying echoes.
At that momlent, unity excited as
she woe, she because rollselolin of n
new preeenee In the yard. She turned
her head to see a @omewliat mean -
looking figure In ancient tweed, with
hie bark to the light, but apparently
regarding her closely from under the
dhndow of his brand felt wldenwnke.
" Another of 'em, I ,tlo drehtre 1"
crtei the bride. And with that the
lash cracked In the ears of the un-
fortunate nr.w-remuer, who stood as
though turned to stone.
The blue sky, from t11ts Iuiklesn per-
0oe's point of view, became alive with
the wrltldnge of eerltente, heti-blu:k
and numberless. Hls ears were filled
and stunned with the fiendish mus-
ketry. He stood like a statue; his
hands were never lifted from the
pockets of his Norfolk jacket ; he
never once removed bis piercing gaze
from the wild face of hie tormentor.
" Why don't yon take off your hat
to n Indy T" the iunatti now shouted,
laughing hoarsely, but never pausing
In her vile work. " Faith, but I'll do
it for you 1"
The wldeawake then and there
span up Into tho air, even as the
hatif-owereign bud epee before It.
And the very next instant the stock -

bride. She had uncovered the gray
hairs of her rather -ill -law, Sir
James Bllgh 1 At the same moment
there ons a loud !Mout behind her,
and elle staggered backward almost
into the urme of her Itorror-stricken
huaband. Even then the bride knew
that Granville was there, too,
watching her misery with grinning
eyes. And the Judge did not move

under her fire, piercing her through
and through with his stern eyes;
and there was an expression upon

silence held the air after the mud
uproar of thio last few minutes.
That awful stllinoss was broken
by the clatter of unsteady foot-
steps. With a crimson face the
bride tottered rather than ran
trues the yard, and fell upon her
knees on the wet cement, at the
Judge's feet.
"Forgive me," she said; "1 never
saw It wits y0111"

It was in the forenoon of the same
day that Oranvhle entered abruptly

tones of relief ; so Lady Bilge natu-

" To the happy pair 1" mild Gran-
ville.
"They have gone to town, then?"
"To tow, for the day."
Lady Blight took up her pen again,
but only to wlpo it, deliberately.
"Now, Granville," slip eald, leaning
back le her chair, "1 want you to
tell nue the truth about — about
whatever happened before break -
feet. f don't know yot qulte what
did happen. I weal to get at the
truth; but so tar I have been able
to gather only sltrexis and patches
of tho truth,"
Granville ruse briskly to bis feet
and took his stand upon the hearth -
rug. Then the leant an elbow on
the chimney -piece, tuljusted his eye-
glase, and nulled down upon Lady
Bllgh. Ono easily might laws imag-
ined that the task hmpumed upon
him was committal In the extreme.
Without further pressing he told the
story, and told It succinctly and
well, with a zest that w•as vaguely
felt rather than detected, and with
an entire and artistic suppression
of his usual commentaries. The
mere story 1009 SO effective in It-
self that the most humorous par-
eIItheels could not have improved it,
and Granville lord rho wit to tell
it pimply. But when be reached the
point whero the Judge appeared on
the sots Lady Blhgh stopped him ;
Granville was dlsappolnted,
"I think perhaps! 1 have been
told slat happened then," sant
Lady Bllgh ; "at all evonts I eeehn
to know, and I don't cape to hoar
it Again. Oh, it was too scandalous.
But tell me, (tram, hem did your

"Llko a man," said Granville, with
righteous warmth, "Like a man. With
that vile whip cracking under his
very hose, he did not flinch—he did
not stir. Then mho whipped Ids hat
from hie (heed; and then she maw
what alto had done, and went down

Granville made a tempting pause.
Lady Bllgh, however, refused to ie'1
it In. She was engrossed in thought.
Her line of thought suddenly flashed
across (iraevllle, and he caught it up,
dextpronely.
"As for the Judge," field he, "whet
the Judge foots not one Dao etty. As I

Indy Bllgh was drawn at last.
"This is very painful.," she mur-
mured ; "tats is too painful, Gran-
ville l"
"Painful 7" cried] Granville. "I
grant you It's painful ; but ft's the
tar'- ; it's got to bo faced."
"That may be," saki Lady Bllgh,
welly; "that may be. But we ought
not to be hasty; and we certainly
ought not to make too mucic of ilea
one escapaile."
Granville shook his head wisely and
Nettled.
"I don't think there to much fear
of that. On the contrary, I doubt
if our eyee are even yet Cully open
to the evtormity of tld9 morning's
work. I don't think we any of us

thing nlmost epic in this business."
"I don't wish to realize It ; and I
don't knew, I am sure, wiry you
ehrndd wish to make me."
"For no rename" said Granville,
shrugging ills shoulders, and also

added, utter it 1)10160, ''kthc is ee, beau-

Granville drummed with his fingers
upon the. chimney -piece. His mother
Minted it repl,v. She wanted sympa-

Insignificant point, the bride.', per-
sona beauty; but as yet 11 seemed
to be the on1,0 redeeming feature In
Alfred's unfortunate marriage.
"You can't deny that, Gran ?" she
persisted.
"Deny what ? TlIe young woman's

not ; nobody with oyes to see could
deny that"
"And after all," satd Lady ililgIi,
"brought up eta els evidently has

Lady Bllgh said no more; she seem-

watch, said something about alt en-

door.

were golttg to Madame Tusettud's, or
to the Tower of London, or to the

which—perhaps to all three. But
'the bride will tell all 'about It title
evening, and how the sights of
London compare with the eights of
Melbourne; we m',v look forward to
that ; and, fill then—goof-bye." -
So Lady Bllgh was once more alone.
She did not at Dace resume her
correspondence, however. Leaning
back In her choir, she gazed thought/
fully through the open window at
her side, and across the narrow lawn
to where the sunlit river was a sil-
ver band behind the trunks and
neither foliage of the trees. Lady

in her heart was little of the wound-
ed pride, and none of the personal
hltterneeR, that many utothere would

the cireug stances? Simply these:
her eldest son had married it wife

who was, ons lite other hand, both
vulgar and ignorant, and, as a
daughter, in every way Impossible.
Thego hard words Ledy Bllgh pro-
nounced deliberately in her mind, She
was facing thio fact, as Granville had
said that it should be faced. Yet
Granville] had used no ouch words as
thane ; 1f he had, stn would have been
given reason to regret them.
For, nus hag been saki already, Lady
