beautiful women in the country when she became the bride of Sir Roy nor was she less lovely in the second year of her and exquisitely moulded she belonged neither to the class of blonde nor ed in her the chief charms of both Her hair was of 9 rich tening chestnut brown brushed back from a transparently clear forehead and her soft large eyes were of the clear brown which seems to melt and grow limpid as you gazo at it while her complexion was fresh as a rose and no sculptor's art could have im- proved on the perfection of her small pure features Sir Roy Fairfax was worthy of the aristocratic race from he Apollo in beauty a in strength and size He was dark with curling hair and bright blue eye's whose gaza was in its keenness but there ex- pression only of the most caressing tenderness in their light his Lady Fairfax's face grew bright as she held out her jeweled hand You are late to-night Roy A little late my love but I had letters to he answered I wish you were not going out to dinner to she said ively drawing nearer to his side My darling don't be he her bright hair fondly I shall be before you have had time even to miss me As if I did not always miss you Roy Don't sit up for me Marian I shall endeavor to return as early as possible but I don't like the idea of bright eyes growing dim with midnight vigils Promise me to go to your room at eleven I promise Roy Hur eyes shone softly up into his as he bent to press a good-by kiss upon the scarlet of her lovely thus they parted Sir Roy's footsteps had long died away in the and the little clock had chimed several limes when Lady Fairfax sounded the small silver liand bell on the table Her maid an swered the grave mid- woman Are there lights in my Yes my lady Do you wish to 1 well go as to sit said Fairfax wearily I promised Sir Roy not to be late Has Sir Roy gone out my Yes at Mr Mountjoy's to-night Gone out to dinner my lady Lady Fairfax glanced up m Did you not hear rue say ho was to dine at the What is there so strange about Nothing my lady to be answered Mrs Wharton occupying herself with gathering up the books and work scattered round Lady fax's table only Dickson has just come up from the tage and says he saw Sir Roy going in there must be said Lady Fairfax placidly You have left my cassolette on the Mrs Wharton followed her lady up on the broad staircase on which a strip of velvet carpet deadened the sound of footsteps into a large and beautifully decorated apartment where the skill of the modern ster had turned the ancient walls in- to a casket of beauty and freshness I am not sleepy yot said Lady Fairfax glancing around her as she sank into the cushioned depths of this easy chair I shall read for sometime yet I will ring for you when I require you Yes niy said the maid etly and she withdrew leaving Lady Fairfax alone in the beautiful room Suddenly Lady Fairfax started to her feet she exclaimed as it to herself what was For the dreamy tha had been ly rent asunder as it were by the quick sharp report of a gun Sir Roy Fairfax on leaving his wife's drawing by no means entered the carriage to drive across tbe country to the old Mountjoy sion Instead of that he bad taken his way across the terraced lawn to a secluded path which led into a copse of evergreens a rustic afforded a sort of impromptu shelter from the dew and chill It's too early said Sir Roy to himself as he sat down and ately lighted a cigar ey ge- The clock struck nine ten and eleven as he sat there sometimes smoking sometimes softly to 1 finally row and moved steadily through the quiet was nearly midnight Across the dewy an old an dismally he a path Sir Roy Fairfax walked until he found himself ot a sudden close to the back entrance of a small thatched cottage on the very verge of the All was and silent or seemed ino irom but when Sir Roy ped softly at the door it opened re- suddenly and noiselessly en its hinges and revealed -a room with three men sitting or standing carelessly ot them the Colonel Mountjoy with whom Sir Roy had avowed pose of dining that evening At old Colonel joy as the door once more be- hind the newcomer Why thought you it is hour we agreed Sir Roy answered deliberately We'll perhaps you may about said the old gentleman but when a man is seems like nn hour Sir Roy round room nodded to bis other comrade a rather slender man aud spoke a word or two to the a headed of fifty or abouts You think the game will lie well to-night Couldn't be better Sir the man answered with a repressed huckle Then said old Morison as neither Colonel Mountjoy nor Sir Roy answered him we'd better be a Here's your to the He led the way plunging into an apparently trackless bit of which he threaded his way sure-footed and swift as one of the Park deer The three gentlemen followed and for a few minutes the silence was Suddenly Morison stopped ing rather than whispering into Sir ear as he pointed into the dim uncertain starlight at S small open space quite surrounded with dwarfed trees and underbrush There Sir the trap on the edge o them hazels and it ain't empty neither He won't be long arter his game you may take your oath The old man's hand trembled with upward in the starlight was flushed with the ex- of tbe moment Hush On your life don't speak a word murmured Sir Roy to the other two to advance no we have only to wait now The seconds grew into minutes seemed to lengthen selves the four men stood there so you could not have discovered their shadowed figures from the trunks of the beeches and chestnut trees Their very breathing was might have heard beating of their hearts gasped Morison the keeper now he's comin Sir Roy As he clutched tis a mechanical movement Sir Roy's hand fell with iron force on his wrist Morison shrank back noiselessly understood that master would brook no interference now A second or scarcely have been a dark figure slouching heavily along in the rity emerged from the undergrowth beyond the open apace knelt down to examine the snare which had been skillfully concealed with fallen branches He dropped the prey into a coarse bag or pouch which hung over his shoulder and was just rising feet onco more when ho found himself face to face with the cold sneering gaze of Sir Roy Fairfax Involuntarily the man raised his ri- fle the barrel glittered strangely in the mystic light Sir Roy snatched it from him and flung it into the pice beyond and in the struggle the sun went ofi with the sharp piercing sound that had so startled Lady Fair fax in her white and gold The poacher sprang at Sir Roy's throat with a sharp low strangled cry like that of animal tne momentary struggle was sharp and Colonel Mountjoy sprang forward to aid his friend but Morison the held him back You don't know my master he whispered hoarsely Sir Roy Fairfax never accepts help from any man know got the fellow Morison was poacher strong fellow though he in- Sir Roy's Herculean While Morison yet spoke he lay on the grass with the foot on his chest Now then Owen Owenson said Sir Hoy calmly have you to say for the man made answer still however struggling I've as good aright to the hares and birds as yourself if things was ed as they ought I'm a man Sir Roy aud you ain't no better c We won't go into the law of said Sir Roy sneer Morison call the boys this man be taken proper place anymore theories to pound do it in a court of Tbe horn instrument to his lips and sounded a the report of the rifie had proved a more Rum mons In five minutes the secluded covert was a scene of life and motion arid the career of Owen Owenson as far as life in tlie -free fresh world woods and was concerned wan It is true Sir Roy Roy tell me if they've me or if it is real solemn truth If seems like I can't believe it Is what true Woman who arc you? and why am I disturbed in my own Sir Roy Fairfax's voice raised in anger aud Sir incensed brow would have been appalling to most people but Mary Owenson did not flinch standing there with her little babe pressed close to her breast She was a pretty slender young man rather wan and pale but sing a birch tree of the her dress of some coarse woolen material hidden by a red shawl drawn over her head was singularly esque I knew it couldn't bo s tremulously as she spoke What's a a partridge to you sir as has woods and covers lull of to my man's die sir him as was always livin in tho fresh air if you shut him up in a jail It wasn't that he meant to do any harm sir but then Radical louse meetings sir why they'd lead anybody astray I He'll be not to do it pawn my word or that He will be safe if there be safety n bolts and Roy The sentence of the law has been massed upon must abide tbe consequences of his own act But you'll interfere Sir Mary Owenson with a white startled face Oh Sir Roy for the sake of your own bright lady and the bonnie babe that's coming to Jad the old Hill don't let them take The bread cut of my mouth and this We haven't done no ill to the law And the old er who nursed my lady's own mother when she was a child You wouldn't send old to all for the rabbit or so or maybe a bird is never be missed Sir is the use of making a scene like this and giving me Your husband knew what he was doing and he is no be let olf from the consequences Of course I shall not interfere Mary Owenson rushed forward with a low gaspy cry and fell ly at Sir Roy's feet threw her arms around his the little babe cast recklessly her arms crept over the carpet catching at its gay as it You can't mean wailed poor Mary It isn't him your me and the little You wouldn't see us starve Sir Roy I'll not lot go your feet Sir Roy till you promise I'll not rise till I have it from your own lips Her voice gradually raised It had reached an agonized shriek Sir Roy pulled the bell rope with an angry said to the man who answered peal let the servants rue and carry this screaming idiot awny But Mary Owenson was not ing now Apparently the force of her entreaties has exhausted her and she lay and motionless on as the servants gently lifted her and carried her away Bulworth himself came back after the little child who cooing on the carpet an if the whole scene had been a farce gotten up for its especial Poor little said as he deposited the tiny bundle in tiie housekeeper's room do seem hard But Sir Roy he's like a block Of can't move him when once down There there Mary Owenson drink a drop as Mrs holdin to your do you But Mary pushed the glass away with a hand that the housekeeper could feel was as cold as stone Not in this she said in a strangely altered voice it would Give me the let me You'd better rest a while pleaded Mrs Locksley kindly its kind of faint you've been in said Mary Owenson shud dering 1 can walk well only get out of the shadow of this house And no entreaties on the part of the kindhearted servants could her from her She passed slowly the carry ing her infant in her arms with her on her breast and not a vestige of color in her face Sir watched her from his library window with a curious smile upon his perfectly sculptured One or two such lessons will have a better effect upon these than all the empty threats in the world They needed It He and entered his wife's apartment Fairfax was sitting with a book in her blind ed ap as he the door behind him I thought I heard some one she said anxiously What was the It was only wifa she is a little annoyed at the her lord im- in the Varrick jail for six answered Sir Roy But you are not in earnest exclaimed Lady Fairfax with her brown oyes wido open Sir Roy's hrow slightly contracted Why should I not be in The incurred tbe penalty of the law there is no reason that he should to escape it But it is Owen Very see what ence that makes pleaded Lady will interest yourself in be allow him to be imprisoned for so long a time Marian said her husband you are a little enthusiast but you et old smooth tongue con- vince you is white and white is black can infringe the law of the land without suffering io They'll do well said Sir indifferently General laws must bear hard on particular Why Marian my darling you are Lady Fairfax rose with her fair cheek flushed and her soft eyes glist ening with tears she cried aside for an the executioner the rigorous magistrate and be a man for his fellow For my sake Roy let this poor fellow go un- My little wife is unreasonable said Sir Roy in a voice which concealed his iron purpose aa a gleaming surface of water hides cruel paint of a rock beneath You ire of the exigencies of a case like this 1 would do much for your sake Marian but I cannot step aside from the plain path of duty But it is not duly Roy it be Duly is not is not What can a little petted bird like ou know about these mooted points Sir Roy patting his wife's cheek Here is your yov are not ready is he caught the wistful look in Lady the question is laid on the table once for all it is useless to discuss it You will not spare I will not spare him 1 And when Sir Roy spoke in that tone his wife knew that he was past all melting or It was a few weeks after this that W barton came in to brush out icr lady's abundant and dress the late dinner at the Hall Have you heard what has ed my she with the privileged familiarity of an old servant said Lady Fairfax languidly as she turned tbe pages ot her book Is it- anything particular Well my answered ton delighted to be able to impart a piece of treshly gleaned news Margery tho scullery maid has just come up from she says they're in a dreadful way What is the asked Lady Fairfax moving

Fairfax started up I must go Wharton The maid elevated both her hands in the air Ob my lady not the frost tbe air and the park as jark as Egypt Sis Roy would be very much vexed my lady Lady Fairfax passed out of the the U t rooms where the the perfume of newly cut roses and heliotrope which the waxed lights shone softly along tho Alow clear fire burned in tea grate and Lady Fairfax stood an
