CHAPTER XVI. Continued.
For Matilda had concealed every
fault and every unhlndncss by her
prompt action In tho matter of Lord
Novllle, and Jane had been loving and
praising her for It, until tho sweet
ness of their first affection was be
tween them. And Matilda enjoyed
praise; sho liked the appreciation of
her kind deed, and was not therefore
disposed to mako light or Httlo of
what she had done, or of Its reBults.
"And, pray, how comes my lord on
towardB recovery?"
"Slowly. Life was nearly gone;
body and mind wero at death's door;
but ho can walk a little now, and In
two or threo weeks wo nro going
away,- far away, we nro going to my
brothers lu the Massachusetts col
ony." "You will come back?"
"I think It is unlikely. Father feels
a chango approaching. Tho Protestor's
health Ib falling rapidly; ho Ib dying,
Matilda."
"If ho dies? "
"Father will leave England ns Boon
as Cromwell is in his grave. Cymlln
will keep old Swaffham fair, for Cym
lln will never leavo England while
you aro In it"
"And you can bear to talk of leav
ing England in that calm way, with
out tears and without regrets. Jane,
it Is shameful; it is really wicked."
"Dear Matilda, do not be angry at
me because I had to do what I had
to do. I was married to Cluny three
days after he camo home. Wo all
thought ho waB going to die, and he
wlBhed mo to be his wife. Now did I
not do right to marry him when and
how, he wished?"
"Yes," she answered, but her face
and voice showed her to be painfully
affected. "Jane, I cannot bear to lose
Jane k,new haw to
you. I shall have no one to love me,
no one to quarrel with," she added.
"You will have Cymlln,"
"Cymlin is Cymlln; he is not you.
I will say no more. When a woman Is
married, all Is over."
Then Jano rose to go, and Matilda
tied hor bonnet strings and straighten
ed out her ribbons and her gloves,
doing these trifling services with a
long-absent tenderness that filled
Jane's heart with pleasure. "Good
bye, dear!" sho said with a kiss; "I
will coma as often as I can."
"Very kind of you. Lady Neville,"
answered Matilda with a curtsy and
a tearful mockery; "very kind Indeed 1
But will your ladyship consider "
then sho broke down and threw her
arms round Jane, and called hor "a
dear, sweet, llttlo Baggage" and bade
her give Cluny some messages of
hopo and congratulation, nnd so part
ed with her in a strange access of af
fection. But true frlendsnip has these
moods of tho individual and would not
be true without them.
Jano walked homo through tho city,
and Its busy turmoil struck her aB
never before. What a vain show It
was! A passing show, constantly
changing. And suddenly thero was
the galloping of horsemen, and the
crowd stood still, and drew a llttlo
aside, whllo Cromwell, at tho head
of his guards, rodo at an easy canter
down tho street Every man bared his
head as the grand, soldierly figure
passed by. He saw Jane, and a swift
smile chased away for a moment the
sorrowful gravity of his face. But he
left behind him a penetrating atmos
phero of coming calamity. His glori
ous life was closing like a brilliant
sun setting in a stormy sky.
Tho fifteenth of May had been set
for his assassination. Cromwell knew
all tho secret plans of this conspiracy;
knew every member of It; and on the
afternoon when Jane Swaffham saw
him passing up London streets, so
stern and scornful, he had Just order
ed tho arrest of one hundred of them.
Jane heard constantly of these
events, but her heart had closer Inter
ests. The ship which was to carry
Cluny and herself to America was
lying at tho wharf nearly ready for
sea. There were to be no other pas
sengers; Cluny and Jane alone were
to find In Its black-ribbed cabin their
homo for many weeks, perhaps
months. A recent experience had
proven tho necessity for this exclus
ion of strango elements. Early in
June, Israel had taken Cluny to bid
farewell to his old General, nnd the
meeting had tried both men soverely.
At Its close Cromwell went to a desk
and wroto a few lines to the officials
of tho Massachusetts Colony; In them,
commending Lord Neville to their
kindness and care. His hands trem
bled thoso large, strong hands trem
bled aB ho gave tho letter to Cluny.
Then ho kissed him once more, and
with a "Farewell" that was a blessing,
ho turned away, weeping.
"It Is another friend gone," ho said
mournfully to his own heart; "lover
and friend are put far from me and
mine acquaintance into darkness."
Cluny was so much troubled and
affected by this visit that Israel
thought It well to take him to seo the
ship which was to carry him to the
solitudes of tho great waters and the
safety of the New Yorld. He was Im
patient to bo gone, but thero were yet
n number of small interests to be
attended to; for they were to carry J
wun mem a great aeai oi material nec
essary to tftc building and furnishing
ot their future home. Every day re
vealed somo new want not before
thought of, so that It was nearlng tho
end of June when at last all was de
clared finished and ready.
Then Jane hastened home, re
solving to see Matilda on the follow
ing day. But when sho reached
Sandy's House, Mrs. Swaffham met
her with a letter In her hand "Lady
Jevery asks you to come to Matilda,
who is In great trouble,' sho said.
So Jano went to her friend. With
her, also, she found tho grief death
brings.
comfort Matilda.
"Stephen is slain!" were her first
words. She could hardly utter them.
But Jano knew how to comfqrt Ma
tilda; she could talk to her as she
could not to the ladles of Cromwell's
household. "How was Stephen slain?"
sho nsled. "In a duel?"
"No, thank God! He fell, ns he him
self could havo wished, fighting the
enemies of his king. He was with
Condo nnd the Dukes of York nnd
Gloucester before Dunkirk,, and was
killed while meeting the rush of thoso
terrible Ironsides. Camay wrote me
that ho said 'Mother!' Joyfully, with
his last breath."
"Poor Stephen!"
"Oh, Indeed 'tis very well to cry,
'poor Stephen,' when ho is beyond
your pity. You might have pitied him
when ho was alive, that would have
been something to tho purpose. All
his Bhort, unhappy life has been one
constant battle with Puritans and pov
erty. Oh, how I hate thoso Stuarts!
I am thankful to see you can weep for
him, Jane. I thluk you ought. God
knows ho loved you well, and most
thanklessly. And he Is the last, the
last de Wick. Root and branch, tho
do Wick tree has perished. I wish I
could die also."
"And Cymlln, Matilda?"
"I shall marry Cymlln at tho prop
er time."
"You may have sons and daughters."
"I hopo not. I pray not. I have had
sorrow enough. My father and his
three sons are a good ending for the
house. It wnB built with the sword,
and It has been destroyed by tho
sword. No, Jane, the line of do Wick
Is finished, Cymlln and I will be tho
last Earl and Countess de Wick."
"And Prince Rupert?"
"Is a dream from which I have
awakened."
"But ho may stil be breaming."
"Rupert has many faults, but ho is
a man of honor. My marriage to
Cymlin will be a harrier sacred to
both of us. Our friendship can hold
Itself above endeannontB. You need
not fear for Cymlin; Matilda de Wick
will honor her husband, whether sho
obeys him or not. Cymlln Is- formed
for power and splendor, and he will
stand near the throne."
"If thero be a throne."
m "Of that, who now doubts? Crom
well is falling sick, and you may feel
'God save tho King' in tho air. If you
had married Stephen, he would have
been alive to Join In tho cry. I could
weep at your obstinacy, Jano."
"Let it pass, dear. I was suckled on
Puritan milk. Stephen and I . never
could havo been one. My fate wag to
go to tho New World. Stephen 1ms
escaped this Borrowrul world and"
"Oh, then, I would he wero here!
This sorrowful world with Stephen In
It was a better world than It is with
out him. Jane, Jane, how he loved
you!"
"And I loved him, as a companion,
friend, brother, If you will. When you
lay his body In do Wick, cast a tear
and a flower on his coffin for mo. God
give him peace!"
At length their "farewell" enmo.
Tho last words between them were
soft and whispered, and only those
Bad, loving monosyllables which are
moro eloquent than the most fervid
protestations. And so they parted,
forever In this life.
Tho next afternoon Jane and Cluny
rodo through London streets for tho
last time. On the ship they found
Jane's father, Doctor Verity and Sir
Thomas Jevery. There were no tears
at this parting; nor any signs of sor
row; every ono seemed resolved to
regard It as a happy and hopeful
event. For, though not spoken of,
there was a firm belief and promise of
a meeting again in the future not
very far off. Israel held his .little
daughter to- his heart, and then laid
her hand In Cluny's without a word;
the charge was understood. When
tho last few minutes came, and tho
men were trooping to the anchor, Doc
tor Verity raised his hands, and the
three or four In tho dim, small cabin
knelt around him, and so their fare
well was a prayer and their parting a
blessing.
Israel and Doctor Verity walked
away together, and for a mile neither
of them spoke a word. As they camo
near to Sandy's, however, Israel said:
"It Is a short farewell, John. It
wll bo my turn next."
"I shall go when you go."
"To tho Massachusetts Colony?"
"Yes. I am ready to go when tho
time comes."
"It is not far off."
"A few months at the longest."
"He is very 111?"
"The foundations of his life are
shaken, for he lives not In his power
or his fnme, or even In the- work set
him to do. No, no, Oliver lives In
his feelings. They aro at the bottom
of IiIb nature; all else Is superstruc
ture. And Fairfax, as well as Lambert
and others, think they can fill great
Oliver's place! no man can."
"For that very reason, when he de
ports, I will away Irom' England. I
havo no heart for another civil wnr. I
will draw sword under no less a gen
eral than Oliver."
"Good night, John."
"Good night, Israel. Have you told
Martha?"
"Not yet. Sho will fret every day
till the change comes, Why should
wo have a hundred frets when a dozen
may do?"
But when Israel went Into Martha'B
presence something made him change
his mind. "The mother had been weep
ing, and began to weep afresh when
sho saw her husband. Ho anticipated
her sorrowful questions, and with an
assumption of cheerfulness, told her
how happy and hopeful Jano and
Cluny seemed to be. "It did not feel
like a parting at all, Martha," ho
said, "and Indeed there was no need
for any such feeling. Wo are going
ourselves very soon now."
The words were spoken and could
not be recalled, and he stood, In a
moment, ready to face tho storm they
might raise. Martha looked at her
husband with speechless wonder and
distress, and ho was more moved by
this attitude than by her usual garru
lous anger. He sat down by her side
and took her hand, saying:

but ono of tho frontiersmen In khaki
frowned and took a bite of chewing to

became apoplectic.
"Don't you men hear? Get' out the

His Heart Out of Place.
With a heart displacement of four
inches downward and ono Inch to the
left Thomns Hoben, aged 45, of In
dianapolis, still lives, but his death
may result at any time. Hoben was
examined by members of the faculty
of the medical college of Indiana, who
term his ailment aortic regurgitation.
The normal position of the human
heart Is ono Inch to the right of tho
fifth Intercostal space. Hoben's heart
shows by examination that the apex,
beat Is four Inches below nnd one inch
to the left. It Ib believed this pecu
liar ailment is the result of overwork
in a rolling mill. A severe shock at
any time would undoubtedly produce

A Cure for Dropsy.
Sedgwick, Ark., Juno 22d. Mr. W.
S. Taylor of this place says:
"My llttlo boy had Dropsy. Two
doctors tho best in this part of the
country told me ho would never get
better, and to havo seen him anyone
else would havo said they were right.
His feet and limbs wero swollen so
that ho could not walk nor put on his
shoes.
"Vnen the doctors told mo he would
surely die, I stopped giving him their
mediclno and began giving nlm
Dodd's Kidney Pills. I gave him
three pills a day and at the end of
eight days tho swelling was all gone,
but as I wanted to bo sure, I kept on
with the pills for somo time, gradu
ally reducing the quantity, till finally
I stopped altogether.
"Dodd's Kidney PHIb certainly saved
my child's life. Beforo using them ho
was a helpless invalid in his mother's
arms from morning till night. Now
he is a healthy, happy child, running
and dancing and singing. I can never
express our gratitude.
"Dodd's Kidney Pills entirely cured
our boy after everybody, doctors and
all, had given him up to die."
