Vltu the first sign of day 1 nenl ottt to
look at the ruins the tire had made. Tha
lung line of sUtbles wan now a moulder
ing pile. But I was gladly surprised to see
the horse coming one after another for
their morning feed. I found that erery
living thlntf hud been rouioved before the
fire wns kindled. Bo, I thought, they
how more kindness to the beast than to
man. Ilut I do not Ulleve that they would
have burned the limine. They only thought
to frighten Iord Waverlnnd Into comply
Ing with their reqiitMls. Whua the break
fast bell sounded I went to the dluiug
room, but it was empty. I thought Lord
Waverlund and his friends were making
op for their lost sleep. When an hour
passed and no one appeared, a search was
Institutod. It wa scion discovered that
they all had left in the night. A maid
from Uird Waverlund's room brought me
ft note, saying:
"I found this under Lord Wavorland'a
pillow."
I opened the nole and read:
"Iiyd, you may deal with the brutnl
teniiuts as yon think best. 1 slinll never
set foot in this hull j wxnin if 1 escape
live. I Khali return lo I'urln, where life
h more agivenble, whnre I can live with
out the leur of being umblied or burned
live. Silt Kkwakii v'AVt.itLANi."
This, then, was tlie ay he chose to pro
tect himself. When the tenants Im'hiw to
gather, calling for I.ord Waverland, and
found that ho hud left, they were very an
gry. One uiuu who seemed to be thelf
leader wild.
"That is just the way with the English
from the highest dowul you cannot trust
their promises!"
"I will listen to your requests," I said,
as they began to murmur their complaint
"You! what right have you to arrange
things? When my lord returns he will
blame us for making terms with you,"
said the leader.
"When ho said that I took the note I had
received from my pocket book, saying.
"Here is my authority," and I read it to
them. Tliut was sulllcient evidence and
they were willing to make new contract
with mu.
"Now, what are your grievances," I
asked.
"Wc want our rent lowered to the Grif
fith valuation!1 (that being the rate the
Land 1-tugue hud adopted) aaJd the
speaker.
"Well, If yon v 'll romp with T win
do tuu bust 1 cuu for you," I wld, leadlug
the v ;'T to the Horary, where 1 had a map
of T :'.iaic u -id tv I k nmtuinliijr iho

tenant to tne new rate, men as fast as
pw-li.le I rdnslaled those who had been
evktei!, or provided for them in sonio
oilier w.iy. l'ru;n tlmt time I began in
earnest to work for the welfare of my peo
ple anil to save "my Inheritance."
On coing to the dniwinjr-room one morn
ing I found Miss Kverett there, wutehlng
the sunrise on the lake and among tho
grnnd oli mountains.
"Well, little girl," I said, as I came to
her "yuu seem charmed."
"Yes, Sir l,nyl, this is a clmrnitng view.
I have watched the sunrise from hero for
the Hist six months, ami every morning It
presents o dillerent picture. .Inst now, see
the grand old mountains are shaded by a
fleecy cloud. Ilut look, there comes a
dreak of sunlight llko a rainbow on its
brow. And there in the distance Is the
O'Sullivan cascade. Wo eanjtce its danc
ing waters like silver thread sparkling iu
the sunlight, but we cannot hear JU deaf
ening roar as It rushes from crag to crag
In reckless haute!"
"It is a grand sight. I never saw It be
fore at sunrise. You see w hat a lazy fcl
lmv 1 have been," I suid, watching her ex
pressive face.
"How I wish my pencil would obey my
will," she said, as though forgetful of my
presence. "Have you ever labored and
wished for anything with all your heart,
and then felt tho keen anguish of a dLsa
appoiutment?" she asked, turning toward
me as she spoke.
"No, I have never been enough in earn
est to feel a disappointment very keenly,"
1 said.
"I have," she said. "I have spent hours
trying to put just a faint tdiodow of this
beautiful scene on canvas. Ilut disap
pointment has always la-en my reward."
"I never knew this was such a pictur
esque place," I said. "I believe you have
bewitched tho sunlight, to change the
world to suit yourself! This old house was
never so bright Ix-foro!"
What a st range girl sho was! One mo
ment I would find her in the kitchen with
. clean white apron on, directing the serv
ants or doing their work if need be, n con
tented domestic little housekeeper; and
the next, watching the fitful play of sun
shine and shadow on the lake nnd moun
tains. She seemed like a cnged bird ready
to break its prison bars and to lly away.
While I stood looking more at her than
at the scene, the breukfast bell sounded.
In an lustant she wus again the domestic
little woman, whose pet theory was that
we should all meet at breakfast or dinners
for aochd enjoyment. Here It was we read
the morning papers. How eagerly we
watched Parnclliu his eventful career, or
Cladatnnc's new position, or how the trou
ble between England and Russia would be
settled. This morning as wo took our pla
ces a telegram was handed to my mother.
"What is it, mother?" I asked, as her
faco grew deathly white and her hands
trembled. Sho handed me the telegram,
Hit hinunl me the tfUtjram.
iaying, "
"Lord Wave rlnnd Is dead! He was killed
at a gambling table in 1'iiris."
With a Biid, white face she rose to leave
the table. 1 assisted her to her own room,
As I was about to leave her, she sa'id.
"Once I thought I loved himl But leave
line now, my sod. I would like to be
sJone."
There was little real sorrow felt for the
dead husband, father, and master of Wa
verland. He had been a cold, proud man,
and his overbearing nature bail dwarfed

j mains were brought home uud placed la
the family vault. Thus closed the life of
one possessed of every accident aud oppor-
tuuity to make a nobis man.
' CHAPTER VI. THE WIW THFORT.
The inheritance was mine. It came
heavily mortgaged. I had not finished
making my settlement with the tenants at
the time of Lord Waverland 's death. I
continued, however, Just as I bad begun.
One morning at breakfast I said:
"I am almost tired of being landlord.
There are so many responsibilities con
nected with It In settling np with my
tenants on the estate I find thousands of
pounds dus now, after the reductions I
have made. I cannot sro out and fnrra

ii America to help keep up this farce of
lundlord.'sm In Ireland."
"Is thai true?" asked my mother. "I
aid not know money ever came from
America to Ireland, except Li time of
.'amine."
"I remember bearing my father say it
was a heavy tax ou the Irish-Americans,
this unjust land system of Ireland," re
marked Stella.
"That Is very true," said I, "and yet we
often hear that If tenants wore only indus
trious and sober they could pay their rents.
That may be true sometimes, but very few
of our tenants are intemperate. Their
small acreage Is not enough to raise food
for the family without paying rent. So
where is my living to come from?"
"Why don't you have the pretty soldiers
come and help you?" asked Myrtle. "I
like to see them. Papa had them wheu he
was here."
"Little sister," I said, "when the sold-
w ij0"1 Bome "B m,lst ,mve nome
Would you like for the soldiers to come
and turn us all away?"
She sat a moment thoughtfully, then
said:
"Was it the soldiers that wanted to burn
our house?"
"Xo, but It was because the soldiers had
snit so many from home. The men grew
angry, and wanted to burn our house for
revenge," I answ ered.
"Miss Stella, if you are at liberty I would
like your help in the library for a mo
ment," I said, as we left the table.
As we entered tho library I took her
hand. , I held it with the firm grasp of a
friend. How sweet, how pure the love of
that plain, simple girl seemed to me ou
that winter's morning. For a moment I
diil not speak, for fear my voice would tell
her of my love too soon, and by Its unex
pectedness deprive me of the gift I craved.
For a time we stood in silence. It seemed
an age to mo, so many hopes aad fears
were crowded In the pause. But really, as
time Is measured, it was but a moment.
Then I spoke.
"Now, my little friend," I said, "it was
your words that made me take an interest
in this work. Can you help mo solve this
problem, how to relieve the suffering and
misery of our people?"
Stella's cheeks Hushed as I spoke and she
turned from mo to tho table. Shu must
have felt the impulse of my heart for she
remained silent. Then again I vuid.
"I need tho aid of your clear judzracuU
Will you give it?"
Turning her clear brown eyes to mine,
(he said.
"Sir Iiiiyd, I know so little about laws
governing landlord and tenant, that I cau
not aid you in this matter."
"You remember the widow that had her
oat stack burned and came to be for mer
cy on the rent. I have made her little
house Into a school room and she Is the
teacher."
"I know that, Sir Loyd," said Stella,
with animation. "I have often lieen there
and heled her with her teaching."
"You havo Nen there, when."
"Often whrn I have been out riding jr
walking. And I heard how you bought
the improvements on McGee's holdiiig so
he cou.J i to America and get a home of
bis own. And 1 have also heard bow you
are fixing up tho old tennnt houses more
comfortably than they ever were before,"
she said archly.
"You little spy! I did not know you were
watching mo."
"I was not watching you, Sir Ixiyd, I
was only trying to help tho ixsir people,
and heard all the news, you see."
"Yes, I soo, you were taking sunllht In
to the poor tenants' homes, us you brouglit
It into ours. Well, they need it. 1 see so
much tilth, no much sorrow and discontent
that it is terrible. I can find no means of
'dief. lloW I'llII VOIl nvhnir' nm-ittr nn.l
peace where men must live with hogs and
cows? Our tenants live with thcirnniinnls
that they may save them to pay the rent.
How I hate tho word!" 1 said, leaning on
tho mantel and looking nt Stella as she
stood idly turning tho leaves of an old al
bum that lay on the table.
"I, too, have seen the misery and want
that this terrible rack rent has produced.
It is like some loathsome monster, that
with fetid breath pollutes all within its
reach," she said, with earnest Indignation.
"Dear friend," I snid, going to her and
taking her hand within my own, "You
have been more than a friend to me. You
have Inspired my heart with sympathy for
man. Now I come to you, asking your
help In finding relief for all this woe. I
ueed your aid und "
Just then my mother opened the door,
saying:
"My son, Annio Wren is at the door ask
ing for you." 1 looked at Stella for a mo
ment. Could I leave her with the words
of love unsMiken? I was just forming
such words when my mother called me.
Stella seemed conscious of my thoughts,
and the tell-tale blush that mantled her
cheeks and brow gave me hopo that my
suit would not be in vain. For one instant
I whs undecided. But then I turned and
left the room. I found Annie at the door
on her ct pony, I offered to help her dis
mount, but she Mid:
"$'0, 1iyd, I cannot stit Papa sent
this note to you and asked me lo bring au
answer."
I opened It nnd read the message, nnd
thought the best way to answer it was to
see Sir Wren myself.
I ordered my horse, nnd without enter
ing the house, rode away with Annie. As
we rode out over the w ild moor thnt lay
between the two estates, we met a girl
w ith a donkey cart loaded with neat which
sho had gathered and was now takintr to
the villain to soli She was a ifroint
looking girt sot very poorly clad
rooted, and had on only a thin cotton
Sown w ith a bit of an old shawl over her
head and shoulders.
"I am sorry for such girls. She must be
cold this frosty morning," said Annie,
with a slilvor.
"They earn something In that way tc
help pay the rent," I snid.
"Oh, that everlasting rent!" said Annie.
"If I were a man no one should ever pay
me rent."
"What would you do, you little spice
box?" I asked, amused at her show of tem
per. "I wonld do as nana does. He him
to work for him, -and gives them good
warm nouses to live in."
"I thought your father had rent, the
same as others," I said. I never paid any
attention to the way Sir Wren conducted
bis estate.
"You ask him and see," she said, as ws
roue up to the door.
Sir W ren was In the library enjoying the

for me and take a pleasure trip at the same
time. The business is easily managed. I
will prepare the documents nnd you can
deliver them according to directions. 1
will give you a letter of introduction to the
Duke of Melvorne, who will show you
kindness for old times' sake; as his father
and 1 were very warm friends until his
death two years ago. Since then I have
never been to Blue llidge, as his home is
called."
i
"Then I nm to follow directions and
have the pleasure free," 1 said, laughing
at his plan.
"I hope it may be a pleasure to you. I
am alwuys glad to aid my friends 'in that
d'rection. How Is your mother and the
brown thrush at Waverland?"
"My mother Is very well. Better, she
says, than for years. And Miss Everett Is
as busy as ever scattering sunshine and
gladness wherever she goes. Even tho
poor tenants enjoy some of her gladness.
We were just planning some way by
which we could make them more comfort
able, when Annie came."
"Did you hit on any plan?"
"We did not. But Annie gave me a hint
of tho manner you mnnaite your estate,
that may help me. I would liko to learn
your method."
"There is not much to tell. I hire men,
women and chlldreu by tho year to work
for tne."
"Why, what are you doing now to earn
their wages?"
"Come and sen," said Sir Wren, as he
loon ms nat and cane and started for tho
door. We passed into a large yard sur
. rounded by out-buildings. We entered
i one and found large quantities of vegeta
1 blcs with women aud children sort Inn
them into heaps.
"You see now," he said, pointing round
the room, "I have them sorted in thLs way
to make different grades for market." .
"I understand now. The object gained
by this work is a higher price for produce.."
"Just so, just so," he said, patting me
on the shoulder. "I save the small ones
and sell them to my help at a lower price:
whilo the large fine ones bring a higher
price in the market."
We entered another building which
proveirto bo a workshop. Old rakes wa
gons, plows and all kinds of fanning Im
plements were being repaired by tho men
"No idlers here," he suid as wo walked
through. There were no idlers, but what
seemed strange was that some were sing
ing and some whistling, which told of con
tentment. ,
"That is a saving In two ways," snid Sir
Wren, as we left the building. "Things
are under shelter, and then, when they are
needed in the busy season, we will not
buve to lose valuable time during good
weather for them to be repaired."
"I see the philosophy of that," I said, as
we entered the blacksmith shop. Here one
man was shoeing a horse, another fixing a
buggy spring, aud all were usefully em
ployed. "This is a sample of the way about four
hundred people are employed in the cold
winter went her. In summer my land is
well cultivated and made to produce large
returns," he said, as we left tho shop
where all wore busy.
"Do they earn their waies?" I asked.
"Yes, aud a gixsl per cent of prolia."
"Where do they live?"
"Follow me nnd see," he said. We
valked round to one side of the estate
where a f rent was laid out, and lots of
about one-half acre with a neat little
frame house, a pig pen and a cow stable
on each.
"Here," ho said "Is where my people live.
I give this house and lot free of charge to
any mau with a family whilo he works for
nie."
"I see each one has a pig pen and a cow
Stable."
"Yes, I give the men a cow nnd a pig If
they hire by the year."
"These cottages would rent for five or
six pounds a year."
"I kuow thev would. Hut, f would niMi-
er have happy, contented men nnd women
man me rent, i lien, loo, l believe I re
ceive more than the rent in extra work
"How neat and clean it all looks.". I
I re-
marked With warm approval. I could not
help contrasting this with tho teuaut vil
lage on my own estate.
"I tell them," said Sir Wren, "that
cleanliness adds to their comfort. I also
try to inspire them with a desire to keep
their places neat. I lielievo tenants in
general wonld keep their places more tidy,
but they fear their rent will bo raised if
they make any improvement."
"I think Annie was riiiht," I said, as we
entered the house. "This plnn is better
for the people than the old rent system."
"I could nover submit to Urn:," said Sir
Wren, with decision. "It is too galling
for the tenant mid too temping for the
landlord who has nothing to do but grind
(ut of the tenant, farmers :ill he can, while
the tennnt must live on the poorest food
and In the uvvmest hovels, that the rent
may bo paid wheu duo, to save eviction."
"I know that is truo," I said. "I have
been over my estate and find wftiit and
misery at n-nrly every dixir. Why in some
hovels with neither floor nor windows, 1
have found live or six persons, a cow and
the pigs nil crowded together; they say
they must shelter the cow so she will give
more milk; nnd the pigs will die if not
sheltered from the cold. I turn from such
places, sick at heart. What can bo done?
I do not wonder that men nre crying out
a;;ainstsuch degradation. I nm willing
to assist Parncll or any one else who can
make Achnngo for the better."
"I bllevn I'srnell has done more for tha
