and there two or three persons stood
gossip;ng, regardless of the cold, about the
prevailing topic. It was half past seven
by the town hall clock as the carriage
pulled up at the arched entrance of rhe
Royal Hotel.
In the hotel the signs of life were more
numerous. The landlady bustled forward
to greet her visitors; a chamber maid or
two, busy in the hall, glanced curiously at
the newcomers, then resumed their work.
James Francis, with his father's band
upon his arm., went slowly up the stairs,
signing to Mark to follow them, and open
ed the door of a sitting room cn the tirt

There was a cheerful fire burning in the
grate, and .lames Francis, having assisted
IT father to remve his overcoat, led him
to an armchair by the hearth.
'Did you say that Lord Elsdale was

"Yes; he is retting, I hope. He has bad

Mark looked up quickly, the old lawyer's
sightless eyes turned in eager anxiety to

to read what he had to say.
"What has happened?" be asked. "He

went on hurriedly, putting the oid woman
into a chair, "it was unpardonable to
shock you so. Forgive me. old friend."
He was kneeling beside her now, hold
ing the trembling hsuds in his, while ber
eyes rested upon b' face with a look in
which wonder and fear and joy were
strangely mingled.
"Not dead not dead." stie ejaculated
faintly. "Oh, my dear young lord not
dead!"
"You know bim then, Mrs. Fairfax!"
said Mr. Francis, rubbing his bands tri
umphantly. "What do you think or that
as a surprise for the eari? The loss of a
niece will be more than compensated for
by the recovery of a son."
But the old woman seemed nt to hesr
bim; her eyes were fixed upon the anx
ious face bending over ber.
"After all Ibeae years!" she swclninied,
with quivering Mi. "Oh, my lord, why
did you let us think you dead? After all

CHAPTER XXIll.
With a shocked exclamation of surprise
the old man sank backward, stsring at
his sob with wide, sightless eyes, which
even in their blindness the young man
conW not meet. He knew only too well
what a cruel blow thia would be to the old
lawyer, wbo was jealous for the honor of
the family whom he bad served so long
and so faithrully; he knew that bis father
would have preferred any personal sorrow
to this disgrace which had fallen upon a
name that be honored and loved.
"It is impossible!" he muttered, after a
painful pause "impossible. What proof
can tbey have? Tbe jury must have been
mad, James! Is she under arrest?'
"Yes." replied tbe young man.
"Where?" asked his father, in a tone of
surtirise.
"Here. That is why the earl and wt
arc here."
But his son's thoughts were not ao much
for the old man as for the young one, who
was so little prepared for the terrible blow
about to fall upon bim. Long before, on
that bright spring morning, be bad guessed
that Mark Robson or, to give bim his
true name, Newell Hatton felt for the
girl who bad been so long under his care,
and he realixed that the thought of ber
guilt would be an unendurable agony to
the man whose mitilake a natural one
certainly had bees) the cause of so much
suffering. How could he bear it? James
Francis wondered; and bis sorrowful eyes
met Lord Ilatton's as he approached him
with outstretched band.
"This must be a surprise to yon, Mr.
James." be said, smiling. 1 bad some

believe in me at ail; but, when I did suc

Heaven knows that I am ashamed of my
self for a course of conduct which was
most reprehensible!" Then he added, af
ter a pause, "Let me thank you for your
kindness to my father. This baa been
shock to him, I fear."
James Francis started, and looked at
tbe speaker question! ugly.
"I mean of etiurse tbe mistake which
bas been explained to him. His letter to
your father spoke so kindly and tenderly
of his dear adopted daughter that I can
not but feel that the mistake has not been
altogether a disastrous one. But you look
anxious. Do you fear for bim the ahock
of my return?"
"Joy never kills, my lord."
"And it will be joy to bim?"
"Who could doubt that?' James Fran
cis responded, looking at bim in some sur
prise: whereupon the other smiled and
tiushed back his bair from his forehead
with a gesture familiar to the young law
yer.
"I am glad you think so," said Newell
Hatton gently. "I bardly dare to hope so
yet. We parted very strangely, and it ia
so many yea ra ago. Is he well?"
"I believe so be has been." The voice
whkb James Francis bad vainly endeav
ored to render careless failed bim.
"He is not ill?' Lord Hatton aaked
quickly.
No no: but be bas been troubled and
anxious, and "
"Ah, true I bad forgotten! I forgot
everything," the other interrupted, with
a little impatient laugh. "And now as to

suppose ?"
"No."
"In what then? Murder? Impossible!
Why, there was no one there when I left

A Wife's Duty.
Girls wbo marry with tbe foolish idea
that It Is their husband's duty to sup

making a serious mistake. It Is a wife's

prudence and Industry in home man

It is only a person of great wealth who
can afford to hire a refined person to
take her place as housekeeper. Only a
comparative lazy woman ran resign her
place of housekeeper to an ordinary
maid servant, and her family must
suffer because of It. Tbe loss of the
