Harry asked, " I think so, sir. Well, they had their own way in everything. Ambrose left his home- heart-broken, the old .earl passed . a ' miserable, spiritless ex­ istence, his only solace his little baby boy, George, for whom lie conceived an inordinate affection. Thus two years passed very miserably for all parties. Yon need not ask how I became fa­ miliar with these things, for I shall not tell yotr, sir.’! “ Itis Immaterial,” Harry replied. “ Do continue your narrative.” „ . “ Well, sir, at last little George took sick, and my lord was racked with anx­ iety, f never saw a man take on so in- all my life, lie would not I ks . com­ forted. But Tforgot to tell you that my lady took the most unnatural dislike to her child, for even' a tiger loves its offspring—but I suppose that was be­ cause her husband loved it so. Little George grew worse till the crisis was reached, when he gradually recovered, but with tho loss o f his sight. Just thrdo mor.ilfe alter the little suf­ ferer hod got about again, there was a terrible scene between tlio earl and my lady, which ended in Bladon, my lord's CASTIXO SHEEP’S EYES A T THE HAND­ SOME PAINTER. own man, knocking Hayter down and half killing him." “ Served him right, I should say.” com­ mented Harry, with a hearty approval o f William’s prowess, “ So we all thought, though it v. :;s as much asour places were worth to* -so. Well, after this you may bo stm ’ hat Luvd Arlington Could not terrain in s is­ land. for his vindictive w ife swdre i ist she would cause his immediate arrest. I don't believe she ever meant to go to such extremities, hut simply thought to frighten him, huthe took her threats in earnest and fled, carrying his darling boy with him and accompanied by liis faithful retainer, William lllodon. “ And Wanda.” “ You shall hear, Of course my lady was mum as a mouse as to the true state o f affairs nhd all the cOuntv called at tho hall to express their sympathy, even those who had held aloof before on account o f my lady’s origin, but pub­ licity did not Huil her book and she de­ clined to receive onyinc.” “ Playing the role o f a Wifely martyr, I suppose?” “ Yes, air. 3Sotv just four months after th* carl’s departure, Wanda was born. Then, sec what happened. W ill you believe it, air, but that woman hated that poor little child with an aver­ sion that was sickening—aye, loathed It from the’ Very hoar o f its birth?” “ What a wretch!” Harry burst forth in honest indignation. “ Yon may well say so, air; for her bondact towards It bfcoamo so brutal that, even Hayter interfered, and I can assure you, sir, that be is not one to evince sympathy for tho suffering of. another,” “ Did his romonstanco do any good, Mrs. Horner?” “ Yes. Tho baby and f were removed to tho Dower house." f “ Tho Dower house?" “ Aye, a lino old-fashioned stone man­ sion about Jjulf way from hero to the halt You will .see it if you go up t j the hall to-morrow—stands in a lino garden, laid out in the Dutch style, after the manner o f tlu? grounds o f tho king’s palace at The Hague, I’ve been told.” , “ With a very high porch approached by stone.steps?" Harry interrupted,— — “ Whoever told you that, Mr. Ilvcs- ham?” the. landlady asked in 'surprise. • “ Wanda—our Wandaacrosstbo ocean —when she described you to me, Mrs, Horner—for the old house and yourself were the only objects of her early life that clung to her remembrance. ” “ Now, God bless .tho little golden haired darling,,and did she remember me?” the woman asked, deeply affected. “ She did; hut do go on with your story; i f you would serve one you ap­ parently loved so much." . “ Well, sir, somehow or other Mr. Am­ brose—-who ought to have been Lord Arundel, you know—got to hear o f his sister’s ill treatment." The woman wept bitterly- To turn her thoughts Harry asked; “ fs Lady Arlington now at the hall?” “ She is,' But 1 have not told you a ll about her. Strange to say, during the past year, she has changed so that slio is but the shadow of her former self— her old arrogance is gone! her beauty lied—she goes about the grounds like a ghost.” i “ Contrition?" “ Abject remorse. I f it were not that .Hayter holds her in a hand o f iron, she would confess to the world her base sin. As it is, she is treated in her own house as a harmless lunatic, guarded by the creatures that wicked man has secured to do his bidding; for he rules house anil estate as though he were the lord of it." “ And. does no one interfere?" “ No one knows, sir. Th e ' servants are all Haytor’s people; the gentry have , no suspicion but that my lady’s health 1ms broken down under my lord’s de­ sertion; and there is not' a more re­ spected man- in the couutry than Mr. Hayter—so proper, so.scdate, so regular in liia .attendance at church—such a paragon o f perfection.” The woman spoke bitterly. “ One more question, Mrs. Homer. Did •that first wife—I mean the one Lord Arlington married lu secret—leave any children?’’ “ Pshaw, sir! that was only a cock- and-bull story got up by lluyter. Slio died, just as my lord supposed, within six months of hermarringe.", “Well," Ilaryj’ said, emphatically, “ I think there was some poetic judgment in the suffering Lqrd Arlington endured, for be must have deserted his French wife.” "Nay! even in that ho was more sinned against than sinning. You see he married her when ho was a mere lad, before ho succeeded to the title. She was n bad, dissolute woman, and left him o f her own accord to^slinro the fortunes o f a previous lover.” ' "What a hellish conspiracy! Now, Mrs, Horner, you and I must try to straighten out this tangled coil. Do' you tliink that you could contrive for me nn interview with Lady Arlington?” “ It is possible, sir. But, if you will take my advice you will get the young lady here before you act, With her daughter by her side, 1 bcliovo she would have courage to face even Paul Hayter. And, if the new lord—your Gcorgo Arundel—came too, he would bea power to shield her in licr efforts to' free herself from tho malign in­ fluence of that scheming villain.” - “ All that would take time,” Harry objected. “ And it will ho a work o f timo any­ how. The linll is guarded like a prison, and you have no authority to break the barriers. You had much better wnit quietly here until your friends can join yon," “ Would not my presence attract the observation of Haytor's servants?” "Oh, no, sir; we have numbers of vis­ itors in the slimmer months—anglers and artists and suoh.’' “ Then tliatscttlcs it;” Harry'declared, “ I can daub a little on canvas, and sketching excursions will give mo cap­ ital opportunities to get the lay of the land.” One difficulty, however, worried the young man, which was how to dispose o f Dr, Forrester, whose presence would' materially mar his plans. He decided at last to play a bold game, and wrote the learned gentleman as follows: “ My dear doctor, I have resolved to act alone in the Arlington affair. I f you keep perfectly quiet and do not In­ terfere 1 w ill sea that you shall be munificently rewarded for the clew you gave me. Any interference with my plaits, and I throw tip my hand.” And when the doctor received this curt announcement1lie piously tlmnkcd heaven that his lot was not east among those abominable Americans, who hail no aristocracy and consequently no sense o f honor and chivalry, hut wisely resolved to hide his time for the present at least. Meanwhile it was whispered funon.!, the servants at the hall that the stal­ wart young fe llow , who so often was seen tramping over tho estate with a Camp stool and portfolio wns nn artist from London, who Was boarding at the Arlington Arras; anil more than one pretty farmers* daughter east sheep’s t y f » at the handsome paiujer.^ , ; CHAPTER X X AT UllOOKLYN.—HOP* FTTLntXED. Had the aH of the healer failed him, or would George Arundel have restored to him the blessed privilege o f vision? It was a day o f fearful interest to the occupants of the Brooklyn mansion— the day on which Dr. Jacobson had re­ solved to test the efficacy o f his treat­ ment. Since the hour o f the operation tho patient—how nobly the term fitted him, few never a word of plaint had passed his lips—had remained in a darkened room seven long days and nights, And now the bandages were to be removed and a curtain drawn aside to admit a few precious rays o f light. —Thoy nri-n. nil V-haw, brent,hlesslv ex­ pectant. Even Dr. Jacobson’s hand trembled as lie untied the linen wrap­ pings. As for tho women, their hearts stood ^till with deep emotion: Then the shapely head was lifted, a slight, amazed expression flitted Across the noble features nnd George Arundel murmured, in a tone o f ccstacy that thrilled the listeners: • “ Oh. God! I see!” And lie alone could speak.' Then the torrent of pent-up emotions broke forth in smiles and sighs and tears, and Mr. Hardcastlc, in the abandon of. his joy, a&d, let us hope, in the pardonable “ o h g o d , i s e e !” forgetfulness o f the moment, put his arm around Mrs. Evesham’s waist and absolutely kissed her, a proceeding which none—not -even tho widow— seemed to think out of place, u“ You mustnot excite him.” Dr. Jacob­ son said, reproachfully, whereupon all were still ns statues. , Then George Arundel spoke in a low, soft, satisfied tone, and all leaned for­ ward.to hear liis words. .“Now, ivhich is Kate?” Oh, how the girl’s heart throbbed! Not for Wanda, but for Kate he oslced! And suddenly there stood before him the .weeping girl, looking, even in the agony o f the moment, radiautly .beauti­ ful, "And Wanda— Sister Wanda!” ho cried. They made a .striking group—the youpg nian, his face illuminated with ecstatic joy,'the maidensstanding bend­ ing over him, their hands clasping liis. But Dr. Jacobson put an end to these transports, and after Arundel had been allowed a few words of congratulations from Mrs. Evcslmm, Mr. Hardcastlc and Bladon, the sick-room was cleared of visitors nnd George Arundel wns left to tlio repose his overstrung .nerves so sorely needed. Now, it wns just five days after this memorable event that Mr. Hardcastlc received fro i Ilnrry Evesham the bulky letter which conveyed the story of Ids adventures in Derbyshire—the revela­ tion of the mystery which had sur- Tonudcd the birth and parentage of Wnnda Arlington. Heeovering from the first shock of astonishment lie at once sent for Bladon to come to liis study. “ Sit down,” ho said, gravely, as the old servitor entered. “ 1 have ranch to tell nnd ask you.” “ No occasion, sir,” Bladon answered. There was a cowed, dejected air about the man which Air.- Hardcastlc had never noticed before, “ I know what thee he a-going to say. l'hou’sj,going to tell me that the young master must marry Miss ICatc— well, her is as likely a lass as e’er another, an’ I ’ve nowt to say.” “ I was not about to tell you any such good news* Now, Bladon, were you ever In the service of Lord.Arling­ ton, 6f Willington hull, Derbyshire?” “ Eh! Good Lord, What makes thee ask. sir?” Then Air. Tldfdfjastie read Harry Eve­ sham’s lotter^from beginning to end. The. old servant never spoke dufirfg tlio recital of tlu* strange story. When it wns finished liis feelings broke forth:' “ It is the hand o f the Almighty. And in.y dead master, innocent after all of thq charge they made against him! Aye, sir, George Arundel Is the Earl of A r­ lington,” “ But can you prove it, man?” “ Yes, liis father left in my hands all his papers and testimonies.” “Then, ho for England and restitu­ tion, for his and Wanda’s rights.1” Wanda’s rights! The phrase startled tho old servant like at) electric shock* , “ 1was thinking so much o’ the young lord that I h:uj forgot the lady. Hothat sweet maid is tny master's own flesh and blood. Bless licr pretty face,- I ftl- Wnyr, loved her like my own child.” “ Why, you niiuwingohl hyimcrite^yon hate been plottingatid planning against - her for tho last two years,” Mw llard- castle burst forth in righteous indigna­ tion. “ Nay, thc.ro thou'st wrong. I feared j the loss, but I always lovsd her. I f I had’na thought the world o f her, think thee I should have Btood quietly aside an’ seen Master George give her ten thousand dollars?” “ What, that money came from him?" “ Aye, sure it did. I found it out, though he did contrive to keep it so close, but his bank-book leaked the se­ cret.” “ Well,,this is indeed a day o f revela­ tions,” Air. Hardcastlo declared. “ Though, as I suppose she really I b his sister, it is perhaps as well the money camefroin'hlm,” ^ "And Hayter? We shall drop hard on Hayter, Mr. Hardcastle?” “ We’ll try," was’the grim reply. Then Mr. Hardcastlc enjoyed the de­ lightful satisfaction of revealing to the other actors in this little drama the startling developments of Harry’s letter. George Arundel was the least discom­ posed. lie had so’ long felt that his father had moved in another sphere of life that lie was somewhat prepared for the disclosure. Kate beard the news with sad and sinking heart,' for the ties of this new position would take the friend she loved so far away.' And as for Wanda, she vowed she would never give up America and Mrs. Evesham to be made a queen, much less a countess, white~Nqyery nerve o f her little body thrilled with gratitude to think that she could now in sober truth call her dueling George her brother. So they wrote and told Harry that ns. soon os George’s health permitted the whole party would set sail for England. ’ CHAPTER XXL ” MB. UAIUJCASTLE VENJUIIES. It is necessary now to necount for the presence of the American party in Eng­ land. When Mr; riimlcustle revealed the contents o f Harry’s letter to the in­ mates of his house, you may be sure there was rejoicing. - And tho very next morning, when he had settled himself in liis study to write a long ’ letter to Harry, lie was visited by no less a person than Mrs. Evesham, wlio blushingly excused her intrusion. ■ “ My dear friend." she said, when she had seated herself, “ I have come to beg the favor of your counsel iu a matter which I am quite incompetent to de­ cide.” *• ■> “ All, pray command !me." And sure­ ly, Mr. Hardcastle, there was no need -for you to leave your comfortable arm­ chair and assume a far-less luxurious one, because it happened to be a few feet neuVer to your' interesting visitor. “ Well, sir, you see," the lady con-, tinued, “ I have just been liaving a most extraordinary *an<l unexpected inter­ view with George Arundel.” “ A pleasant one, I am sure.” “ Well, I hardly can tell. Will you believe it, the foolish fellow has fallen in love with my Kate, and wants to marry her?" , * “ I will very readily believe it,” Air. Hardcastlo responded. “ And I think the young gentleman exhibits excel­ lent taste. But what does the lody say?”- "Oh, l am afraid tliut she encourages him in the proposition. But, do you not sco, Air. Hardcastlc, that this is impos­ sible?" “ I don’t, indeed*’ “ What, don’t you see that, with this young man’s prospects of becoming tho Earl o f Arlington, such a match would be—" “ Unsuitable? Not a bit 'o f it. A well brought up American girl—tbe. daughter of such a mother as you—is, in my opinion, a match for tbe proudest prince in Christendom," ’Then you think I should give my consent?” “ If your daughter's happiness is linked with his I am sure you should. George Arundel has in my .opinion ,a patent of nobility grander than thatgranted by any king. Ho is generous, honorable and affectionate—what more would you ask?" “ You plead well for the young peo­ ple, Mr. Hardcastle.’’ •‘Yes,” he said. “ And if Icouldonly plead as well -for myself, Esther Eve­ sham, I should think myself a happy man.” The widow flushed scarlet, but never helped him with a word, “ £ know it is madness for mo ,to sup­ pose a t .my lime o f lifo that I could Win » ' woman’s love, nor did I ever think that I should meet a woman whose lovq I coveted so much ns I do youre. I believe that-, if you could for­ get my years, and consent to share my life, I could make yours happy. You see, .your daughter w ill lxs marrying this English lord, Harry will be mating with Wanda, and, you and I will be left alone.” . , “ Oh, it Wouldn’t lw forthat, Mr. Hard? castle, if I - if I said ye*—but—” the widow stammered. * <’ “ ButV< “ Hid, oh, I doJovo you willi mil my heart and soul. * I thinlt you one Of the noblest men God ever made,” ,Sho was sobbing In His arms, find Al­ exander Hawle&stlc knew that he bad won the faithful heart.
