Franeee Smith did xxot dream that the earl wee so ill. She did not know that death was lurking about, waiting for his victim. Each day she expected her mother, who did not come. Oue day the physicians aummoned the two girissand in an hour the JarL of Duuraven had died in the arms of Dorothy Wynter. His face, though aged. and time worn'geve 310O evidence of his diza.ppointments or sor- roweeepeaceful and ealm ae a uony June day, His life had ende4 with a dis- appointinent, but when he had. given up his idol, ii.fe had lost its charm for him. It was evening, and the guests at Westmoreland were assembled in the great drawing room. The Countess of Dunraven was conspicuous among them. She \sae attired elegantly and. her spir- its were the gayest of the gay. The gentlemen had joined them, Captein Trenton opened a newspaper that had just ome. Ile ran his eye over the headlines and read aloud: "Deeth of the Earl of Dunraven," He could not recall the word. in time. 13e - side him sat the counteas and she heard, every word he had said. .At that mo- ro,ent a servant had. brought her a tele- gram, but she could. not read it -a mist came before her eyes. She did. not see the expressions on the faces of the guests, nor the strange look of enquiry in their eyes. She reeled and. fell. "Read it," she had said to Captain Trenton, and he read. aloud: "Mother, for my sake, come -the earl is dead." It was a pleading from A daughter to a ruother. Everyone knew now that the eountese had received other naessages but failed to obey them. A sense of horror went through every mind, as she left the room to obey the stunmons that shehad obeyed too late. When the countess reached the Stanley House every pre- paration for the burial had been attend- ed to. She had. no place anywhere 110W. It had all been e.aused by her own van- ity and. ingratitude. Dorothy Wynter had returned. to her lonely loci:gime& Stanley House Was quiet. and gravelike since its generous, noble old master lay dead. There was no surprise when the solici- tors had requested all of the family to -, hear the late earl's will read. The coun- tess felt sure of sharing in his great wealth. CHAPTER LK, Dorothy Wynter went from Stanley • House to her own humbde lodgings, it . seemed so desolate and lonely now since her last friend. was gone. The weight of her sorrow left its traces on her sweet face and left it shaded. The world seem'ed all at once to rise up as a mighty host againet. She raust now face it alone. It seemed that fate would not allow her to have one friend, and she realized that her means hae4 now become so low that she had only a few pennies left. What way, and to whom could. she turn? She walked the floor. She puzzled her mind to think. There . was only Madame Broesn left. Feethaps,, if she went to her, Media:no Brovne could find something for her to do, that she might have a shelter. She spent her last pennies, and she new found. she must be up and. doing. She would. kneel down and pray again. She had prayed, and prayed that God evolW spare her friends to her, but God had. not listened to her prayers. She 'woUld UOW pray once more, and ask the intercession of the blessed. Mother Mary. She knelt down and. prayed., agelet, that God would. • not leave her aloe*, and slie felt. more courageous ithan she had for several days. Ste intended making preparations to eteart to Madam_ . Brownfit at once, but a. .knock on the door startled her freun her thoughts. The poetrnan 'brought her a letter, and, it was indeed a striate% thing for Dor- othy Wynter to get letters now since her friends were dead. She looked at the inseription. Ocniid. it be possible that Lord. Wedderbtirre had remember- ed her? She asked. heeselif ties question and her 'heart bounded. with joy. When Abe found courage elm opened the -letter and read: "We have the honor to tell you. that by the late Earl of Duzcraven's wad you inherit a. princely eetate.

The Countees was ill iedeed. It was snore than elm could beer to go back to Curkon street from ;Stanley She felt that she could not de eo, At the finst appearance of trouble, her eld- est daughter had announced her inten- tion of marrying Colonel 1310,111, whose ,pay was 'barely stiffieient to ena.ble him to live. The youngest daughter was afl her stay and comfort. "We .bwo will go *heel:: to Curzon street and live very happily ilbare. Why, mother., we are rich. We lived there once, and. had a very few pounds that we emald etell our own, and now we have twenty thousand pounds." She was BO self-reliant and hopeful, the ()lewdest; took courage. Before Dorothy Wynter left the soli- citor's office, be handed her a cheque for a large amount on the Bank of England, and Darotliy waked there, malted her cheque, and was aotonished to find heraelf in 'possession of s, huge roll of freah, risp,13ank-of-Enig1and notes. As he walked home, Dorothy felt as if she was in a dream. She felt that the aeveiltening would come and she would find heriself back in her own little lodgings, Dorothy remembered the. t efhe had eaten. nothing sine the night before, and she hastened home. Her landlady awaited her. She saw, at once, the queer expression on Dorothy's face and understood. it, "Pardon me, Miss Dorothy, but the Barra daughter kept her word, ditlif,t she? 1 heard her telling her father 0,,bout it. Did she leave you her ifor- tune?" "Yes," aneavered Dorothy, -wondering if it were really true. "I am so thankful for yom it was a hard life you had at first, and 1 have been thinking that now you must bay° a maid, and I 'have thought of one -a friend of mine. She went down to the Castle to service, and has been there for long years, but her health is beginning to fail her, and she -wants a change. She -will just e'uit you." "Thank you. I do need some one. Then you may engage her for me," said Dorothy. "How glad ehe will be. 1 am so tired of my life. If you lia,ve a vacant place, remember, me, will yon?" Dorothy promised her. She had seen that for some time her house had few occupants. The rooms had. almost all re- mained vacant, and rents were so high that ehe had made no monew. Dorothy would remember her, for she had prom- ised.. That night a. vague letter went off in the post, but it said "come to town at once." for the writer had a young lady lodger that was very rich indeed, and she must have a maid, and the writer felt sure that everything would. suit all arOund. It need not be told that Parkins came up from Castle Royal itt a few days, and arawastonished to find it was her Dorm thy, the child she had always loved and intended to take as her own. Great, in- deed, was her surprise and her joy seem. ed. unbounded. She could hardly realize allthat had passed. "It sounds like a fairy story. And to think how often Lord Wedderburn-" "That name is one that must be dead !between you and /rm. I never wish it to be called in my hearing. It would destroy every vestige of my happiness to hear that name." Dorothy spoke bitterly and with emo- tion. Parkins knew that in some way Lord Wedderburn was connected with Dorothy Wynter's life. She remembered how often he lutd spoken to her of Doro- thy, and his tones had alweye been ten- der, She knew there had som.ething oc- curred between they that had caused a great bitterness, but she did. not dare ask any questions. There was an im- mensely valuable property belonging to the heiress of the late Earl of Dunraven on the island of St. Lucia. This property coneleted of valuable coffee plantations and now since the earl's death it became necessary to dispose of them. While the agents hed embarked to repair at once to St. Lucia to dispose of them, it was decided that Dorothy Wynter and. her few faithful followers should repair to Dunraven, a small Scottish estate on the North Sae. It was neeeseary that she should live quietly for a time, that she might throw off the great mantle of gloom that came over her by the death of her friends. Dunra,ven was an old pestle whose towers were almost con- cealed by the moss and ivy. It was in a good state of pteservation. The grand old rooms had been closed many years, but now a few suit ee had been refitted and. refurnished for its new owner. The purple hills were on the right and left, and the waves of the North Sea washed the terraced grounds. It was a beauti- ful, weird old, place, situated on a gen- tile rise from the sea. It was a mass of living verdure -great trees tretched protecting arms around tuul about the quaint old castle whose great pointed towers reached heavenwatd. The winch from oft the sea whispered, unceasingly through the leaves, and the soft mur- mur of the waves eves heard itlways, tie they tineettsingly lapped the shore. There wag a great entrance hall and cir- eider stairway that led to the prineipal rooms. The castle had bon refitted and refurnished for its new owner.

Since that deadful shot had been fired at Lord Wedderburn, her fears had increased ten fold. She len sure it originated with the 'Weston Homes. Lord Wedderburn's death would net be advantageous to tiny one but them, and she felt that it was not all ended yet. Mother and son met in the 'waiting room, "Miss Ideltay will be with us to-niglit," she f5aid. "Yee," he slid& but there Was 110 in tercet in 13113 tones. "You would ideate) me if you met her at the station," she said. "Is it necessary, mother" he asked. "Yes, sines the promise you made no; that promise I rely upon, It is life tei me." There was much sentiment in her voice, and. much eeruestneee alike He saw that she had built ell her hopes on his words, and the thought gave him pain. Not theft he disliked Mias Ma- lley, for she was a most magnificent woman. Cold, proud. and. regal in her manner; a woman that would grace the proud, old. home, yet he did not lovelier. There was no room in his heart for her, for it was filled with the thought of a childish face, whoa dark eyes looked wistfully and frankly into his own, and he could mit forget her words. The words that besought him to reraember that it wee Ito fault of her that she was thrust upon him. He could think of no one else with love, yet he knew that the time had no wcome when he must keep his word. That night he drove to the etation to meet Miss Mc - Ray. She was delighted that he had thought to come for her. Miss Malay was cold and proud, yet she was hope- lessly iu love with Lord Wedderburn. When she saw him, her face was aglow with happiness. Lord Wedderburn say/ it, and the thought of his awn feel- ings made him most unhappy. They rode home in the soft summer moon- light, and each enjoyed, the drive. "Have your guests all arrived?" she asked. He anmed many that were there* "I am so glad," she said "for we are to have a delightful visit I am sure. It sier Royal." like home to come to Oa* t "It is pleaeant to me to hear you saTttyou like the old place," he said. Why shouldn't I? It is one of the prettiest and. oldest in Scotland. It it! exceedingly intereeting to me. Every time I walk out to the old moat lean imagine the drawbridge is still there. I can picture the great drawingroora where Charles I, and hes bride were entertained. I can see the picture of horror on the faces of all those present when Patrick Rome rode across the drawbridge wounded unto death, and, dismounting from his, horse, fen in the great doorway and expired. Every spot here has a history." She had taken ith- tereet enough in the dear old home to study an this and Lord Wedderburn was pleased and flattered. This was Ona of the shortest routes to his heart. He felt kindly to every one that loved Case tie Royal. It was sweet to Lord Wed- derburn try hear theee words from her. The Castle Towers rose high and gloomy before them. Through the trees, sombre and almost hidden, lay old Lenthill, Its dark towers were silhouet- ted against the sky, and the soft moon- light shed a radiance and quiet over it. Miss MeRay pointed it out. "There is dear old. Lenthill. It is al - meet in ruins, is it not? Such a, pretty old place it is too, and Buell a sad, Sad story as it has hanging over it. I have so often wanted to go there. think to -morrow morning, very early, I will take a run over and go over it." is "I shall be pleased to go with you." Lord Wedderburn said, but lie dreaded the trial of his feelings. It was like the burial place of his dead, and he liked no strange feet to wander ruthleeely over its sacredness, but he had. proraie- ed anel he would go, 7hatisthprortze for to-mor- now,askea:iselet "All are going to visit the ruins of Old Buneo Castle, another old place with a end history," he said, "I shall be delighted, for I love these deer old. places," she said. He had pee- er seen her raelt from her icy hauteur before, Her fact that had always been frozen with pride, now became anhuat- od and interesting. Lord Wedderburn felt more kindly than ever he had to- ward ler. Lady Alicia welcomed them, beaetily. This coming was the best of all, for in her heart she hoped to secure her for her daughter-in-law. She saw at once the pleased expreseion on the lady's face and there was a peculiar one about the son's face -an expres- sion of friendship, nothing more, but this pleased her. The next morning Miss MeRay arose early -even before the sun was up. It wee a glorious morning eon. balmy air, and the birds were chirping in the trees -just out from their nests, welcoming each other with little carols -all nat- ure seemed glad. The flowers along the pathway raised their tiny heads all dew covered, 'Miss Matay tripped down the well worn path beside Lord Wed- derburn, Her heart was filled to over- flowing with happiness, for she real- ized1y. that it was Lady .Alicia's dearest wish to ha.ve her for a daughter -in - Lord Wedderburn had never thought of bestowing love on her, for he had not that to give. His heart was buried with Dorothy, and it would be faith- ful unto the end. The Homes were queer old race of people. They could not love toelay and forget to -morrow. A love to a member of this race was SS life itself -it hided ell their lives. They climbed, through broken arches into the great marble halls, They went up the broken stone staiinteps, where each step was well worn with the foot- steps of the dead generations.

Is. aiah makes it very pleb' that the prin. eipal cause was wine drinking. History tells ue how the'hordes from the rigorous .north where they could not produce wine, would overrun the winegrowingsouth, where they in turn lost their vigorous likelihood possibly, nay probably, from Mincing win. i It s an oft told tale that wherever eivilization has gone, with its alcohol, the people have degenerated.
