CHAPTER I.
The walls of the pretty county town
Harbury , in Kent , were all placan
with the name of Martin Ray Mai
Ray the Radical , the Reformer ; "

call himself ; the philanthropist , the ha
of Queen and aristocracy , the teacher

genius , half madman , half poet , full
great thoughts all distorted , of grt
ideas all wrong : a man whose lips 1
been touched by the divine fire of (
quence , who c6uld stir the hearts of
people as the wind stirs the leaves ;
man who had magnificent conceptions
what the world might be made ; yet f ;
ed utterly in making them practical.
He could be tracked easily as the fin
Ing fire that lays bare the prairie ; wh
ever he went he was followed by le
murmurs of popular discontent , and tl
came riot aud ' imprisonment. In qu
hamlets , in sleepy villages , In peace
towns , in factories , workshops and g
rets , his words fell , and set fire to th <
who listened.
At Ilarbiiry there had been a trial :
bribery at the elections. "There is site
to be a flaw in the armor there , " thouj
Martin Ray ; "it is the very place for
paying lecture by the 'workiugma ;
friend. ' " So the walls of the old to
were placarded with the.name of Man
Ray , and the people thirsted to see t
new champion of popular rights.
The largest placard of all was that (
posite the house of Amos Hatton , t
last descendant of what had once be
a wealthy and powerful family. For g (
erations they had faded and decayt
they had no longer houses or lands , E
even position ; and Amos Hatton h
been compelled to apply himself to one
the professions. He Vas a solicitor , wi
i small but paying practice ; and , bei
i stanch Conservative , the name of Mi
tin Ray in large letters opposite to 1
leer displeased him greatly.
When he came down to breakfast >
ihis fine May morning , there the wor

"Papa , " she asked , "what is a Rat
The old lawyer's face flushed hotly.
"I will not answer you until I fe
ralmer ; to say the least of it , it is mo

The girl looked at it with softem-d eye

"Well , you can go , Doris that is ,

Looking over the sea of faces , cliau ;

aw one that lived in his heart for evei
lore a pale , refined , pretty face , wit
reat , earnest eyes and a teuder moutl
ie face of a girl who must be a here
orshiper by nature. It was like playlu

while the girl's face held him captive-

t was no longer himself and his aud
nee , but himself and this girl. He wa
sphiniug to her his doctriue , iinbuin
er miud with his ideas.
All night Martin Ray dreamed of on
ice , one pair of eyes. He tried to ge
tt introduction at the house , but faile
jmpletely ; Amos Hatton would not rt
jive him. Still Martin Ray could near
; ar himself from the girl , and lie foun
leans to meet her and to tell her ho
ell he loved her.
Doris Hattou was always inclined t
ike a romantic view of matters , aud sli
lade of the man a perfect hero. She lo\
1 Martin Ray with perfect love , such a

ire living. There was a loug struggl
i her heart between allegiance to he
ither and this swift , sweet , uew-hori
v j ; but , as this new teacher told hei
ie old landmarks were swept away
icy existed no longer no father had" ;
ght to interfere with the marriage o

Through the sweet month of May
idle the hawthorn bloomed on th

see her every evening. He found th.a
r.abury was a good school. He found
I u society , aud taught the people wha

tervals of work he secretly wooed Dori ;

She uttered a low cry of paiu and
spair.
"I wonder , " she said , "if ever a j

"Yes , " he replied ; "hundreds. As

nothing of the kind. He is a paltry , "i

"You cannot understand his ail

Amos Hattou gave his daughter a f <

There was some little surprise and cc
jternation in Harbury when it w
mown that Doris Hatton had marri

lad created a social whirlwind.
Few understood the attraction th
such a man would have for a romant
sentimental girl. Doris thought no 1

Amos Hattou was a brokeji-heart
nan. He had but two children , aud ]
oved them with the deepest possible lo\

rhat had happened , and bidding him 1
rive all memory of his sister from hi :

The three years that followed his mai

doration of his young wife stimulate
im. He positively began to believe hiu
ilf what she imagined him to be. On

The news of his decease was sent to In
