"Slie ,io riot herselt to-day—and—and I have Been very anxious all tlib morning, May 1 ask yon,;, Wc Fawcettj to remember this presently 7" " Miss"Savage yolitviiihiaare Comtoahas. I will make every allowafl-^'fo/Miss Lang trey's state of health." She bent her head, went out, and (aoued the door, . Fawcett senior looked at his nephew, and raised his eyebrow* significantly. " TaWt mcrtus that the old woman is in a devil of a tenS-per,"' he said, "Mercury falling—glass i_.ai-dj.ig (tt stormy. I know her of oid—a tegular Tartar." "IDou't you think it writ-Id pUt! you in a devil of ii temper, if you' had Ho pftrt from such a place as this ?" asked Faweott We youn°cr. "i c'us^ect they arc miserable enough, both of then* That poor girl-how handsome she is !-loo_« R»" if she Was breaking her heart." j "It's pretty evident I'm master til the situation," |aaid Fawcett senior, going OVM to the window, and looking out into the court-yard. " Yes, it 'is ' a fine old place,' he added, complacently; "but wait till you see how I will improve it;" " Don't improve it oat cf all recognition, tf_iat<.vei!yoi_,-k-' y " Frank," B-tid the uncle, tartly, "do you talie me itit a' fbbl'. Fin not going to modernise t!be I should b£ laughed at if I did-I kii'ow thai as'well aa ytffl do. But I'll put it into soyiVd l'epiiir and make it thoroughly comfortaWe. I wdh't live in these looms, with nothing Wtft .Vails and windows aud a paved yard to look 6At upon, I promise you. I mean to fit up that tfoU'th wing for liviuc purpo.ea ; use the ground floor rooms iat each side of the gateway for breakfast-room library, and morning-room ; and turn the Long Gallery into a drawing room." . " a good deal will depend on the furnisli iflg, observed his nephew, dubiously. "Tt shall b*e done by a first-iate London house', and in a f_rs_-rute way—leather papers, tiled1 hearths, carved oak furniture ; every bit in the real old Elizabethan style from top to bottoni !" t, Ho pronounced it Elizabethian; bu Fawcett senior was apt to make these little slips now and then. Happily theie was no one but his nephew to liear it. " One thing, at all events, is certain," re marked the younger man ; the old concern would pretty soon tumble to pieces under the present 'rdginie. Look at those chimneys, and at those upper windows, and at the state of the roof over yonder—it's a habitation [for bats and owls, in its present condition." The door opened. There was a rustle of silk, a creaking of boots, and Miss Langtrey came in, followed by her neice aud her lawyer. Passing the Fawcetts with a short, stiff jerk of the head, the old lady went quickly to tho head of the table, aod seated herself in the high-backed chair which she was won't to occupy at meal-times.

CHAPIKt- XXVI.

nauoth's vineyard. Miss Li._jgt_iey naving, a. it were, taken the chair, Mr Goodban took bis place at her right hand. Winifred sat a little way back, between the window and the fire place. The Fawcetts subsided into two chairs that Bridget placed for them near the bottom of the tablo. There was a dead silent formality about the whole proceeding which waa extremely disconcert ing. Strange to tell, Mr Fawcett's fluency for once deserted him. He smiled ; showed his teeth ; rubbed his hands ; but had not a word to say. Musters of ( the situation as lln-v believed thcnipfllve" to be, the uncle and nephew both felt as if they were sitting below the Halt. Miss Langtrey's solicitor— a placid, aquarc-hcaded, mild-featured man of fifty or i hereabouts, opened the proceedings. First he put on his glasses ; then chose a pen and tried the nib on his nail; finally dived into a blue bag [that he had placed beside him on the floor, and bringing thence a closely written paper, said : — " Having looked through my memoranda of this mortgage, gentlemen, it seems to me that there are only two point 3of special im portance to be noted on the present occasion ; the first being that Mr Francis Fawcett, here present, who wai apparently the original mortgagee, is seen to have trans ferred hia mortgage ten years'ago, to hia uncle, Mr John Fawcett, also here present; the transferee taking the mortgage on the precise terms on which it was held by the transferrer at the time of transfer. Do I state the case correctly ?" This was, on the surface, a perfectly inoffensive recapitulation of plain facts; but the Fawcetts winced under it, and Mr Goodban intended that theyjshould wince. Tbat one word " apparently," as applied to ■ the younger partner's share in the loan, stood for "ostensibly," and conveyed a world of meaning. The allusion to thedate of the transfer also carried its stine with it. In plain English, Mr Goodban [would have said, "You, John Fawcett, screening your ' self behind your nephew's name, lent five thousand pounds to Stephen Langtrey upon the Grange property : and when Stephen Langtrey died, and his sister withdrew her business from your firm ten years ago, you went through tbe formality of causing , Francis Fawcett to assign the mortgage tc yourself, that you might thenceforth hold it in your own name and in your own power." The Fawcetts knew what Mr Goodban im plied as well as if 'he had said it in thoae , words, nd winced accordingly. When, how ever, he looked over his glasses and asked if the case was cirrectly stated, Fawcett senior was fain to swallow his wrath, and 1 reply with becoming suavity :— '• Quite correctly, Mr Goodban." ! "ln the second place, I find that Mi John Fawcett, having filed fa bill of fore -losure against my fclient, Miss Langtrey. obtained a decree thereunder, calling upon her to pay the amount of principal, interest, and costs, as certified by the Master, within six months from the date of his report, or to be for ever barred of her equity of redemption. That report was dated five months and twenty-seven dayß since. Am I right. Mr Fawcett ?" " Quite right, Mr Goodban." "You have also given Miss Langtrey | notico by letter of your intention to demand , possession, and if necessary to enforce it by a writ of assistance ?" Fawcett sen., coughed uncomfortably, and | muttered some not very audible allusion to "arrears and the forfeiture involved in default of payment." " Just so, Mr Fawcett—just so, Now as I presume your object is to realise your security, may I enquire whether you jave contemplated putting the estate up to auction ?" Fawcett, senior, shot a glance of triumph at bis nephew. " I am scarcely prepared to say at present." he replied ; "but—on tbe whole I —I rather think not." " You probably calculate UDon disposing of it privately." " I don't know, sir. I really cannot say, I will—l may perhaps keep it in my own hands." "Ah, to be sure—and let it. Well then, Mr Fawcett,. supposing you become in equity, as now in law, the owner 'de facto ' o'lho Lapghey Omige estate, you would not, I presume, object to accept my client as a tenant ?" " What—Miss Langtrey ?" "Precisely." This was embarrassing. For once in his life, John Fawcett was actually "taken aback." " I—well, really—is not this proposal somewhat premature?" he said, awk wardly. " Not at all, We aro bound to look for ward ; and Miss Langtrey naturally wishes to lend her days in the old house which has been the Jhome of her family for more than seven hundred years." The master of the situation fidgetted in his chair, unwilling to confess that he meant to live at The Grange, feeling that they were all looking at him and not know ing how to reply. Mr Goodban took off his glasses. " I put it to you, Mr Fawcett," he said, " less as a matter of business than as a matter of—shall I say of feeling, or of justice ?" "I don't know what you mean by 'justice,'" said Fawcett, taking refuge in • bluster. " The place becomes mine by de fault of payment—that's justice. Being , mine, I dispose of it ac3ordi_ig to my plea sure—that's justice. I don't see why I should be called upon to promise tho ten ancy to a party who has always been in arrears !with.the interest, and who would always be in arrears with the rent. It isn't reasonable." Miss Langtrey made'a movement, as if about to speak ; but Mr Gooaban checked her with a depreciating gesture. "Your rent, would be guaranteed to you, Mr Fawcett," he said; " satisfactorily and fully guaranteed." Fawcett shrugged his shoulders. " And if you wish to know what I meant by the word 'justice' I may perhaps venture to remind you that the affairs of the Lang trey family have been a source of enormous profit to the firm of Fawcett aud Clarke, and that you therefore owe some consideration to the survivors." "I don't understand your insinuations, sir," said Fawcett. turning very red. "We worked hard for all wc earned ; and if the l&tc Squire had been dissatisfied with our charges, he could have had our hills taxed." "He did not have them taxed, at all events," replied Miss Langl.rey's lawyer, referring to his paper of memoranda ; " and he paid you, 'first and last, in hard cash,

no less a sum than one hundred and forty seven thousand, six hundred and eleven pounds, fourteen shillings. Truly ;a considerable amount, Mr Fawcett—an, amount t-_at r*ay be reckoned at over five thousand fire hundred per annum. Yog will object that your disbursements were: largC. That is undoubtedly true; but your jAins were also large-—very large, Mr- FaWcett.-" TMs array of figures was too much for- MY I'-iwcett's philosophy. He lost his temper, dropped bi-i guard, and attacked. "Now look toere, " he said, roughly j " all ttiis is men? waste of time and breath. I don't mean to let tire place ; and if I did, I wouldn't let it to Miss i.angtrey. I don't, mean to sell it cither. I Mean- to live in it. Tlierc's your answer. Nev to business.! Mi>3s Langtrey has bad six rnoelbs' notice,, and her six months will expire four days from now. She must pay, or go; and whether I bring, or do not bring, an action for ejectment depends on herself and her advisers. Now', that's plain speaking, and I bObb you understand it." "No Speaking, Mr Fawcett, could pos sibly he pllainer," replied Mr Goodban; " and I an/ Itappy to say tbat I understand it perfectly." ~,'.. Then, turning tc. Miss Langtrey : "You observe what Mr Fawcett says, my dear madam—you must' pay' or ' go.' The alternative is before you. Will you ' pay," or will you ' go V" _.■••'' Except at that one moment, when he inter posed 10 prevent her frora speaking, Miss. Langtrey had all this time sat with folded hands, rigid features, and tight-drawn lips ; controlling herself by an iron effort, and biding her time*/ Now her time had come. She smiled a grim smile, and said with forc'Cd deliberation", but in a sharp high key that betyayed the tension of her nerves :— "I prefe/'topay." There was a ikui silence. ihc younger Fawcett caught tilt breath, put his hand nuicklv before his mo trtfi1 and looked down; the elder sat motionless, speechless, his defiant stare dying off if. to a blank be wilderment, and the colour ..Wrong slowly out of his face. , Mr Goodban leaned back in his chair, took a furtive pinch of snuff, and said in his urbanest manner: — "You hear, Mr Fawcett? My cL'ent prefers to pay.'' " Pay! She can't pay, stammered' Fa.fcett. Then facing round upou Miss Langtrey i he said, vehemently, brutally -.— " You kiKrt. you can't pay. It's a lie— a trick to gain titfe." _ ~'.-.'. The old lady gallium one look—the first since she had come intt. the room. " Mr Goodban," she said, " this man is insolent. Oblice me by satisfying him that bis money is ready." Mr Goodban, a«ain opening' his bag took thence a bundle of documents', a roll of banknotes, and two little canvas- bags full of cash; all of which he ranged before him on the table. " as I have pre vionsty explained to yon, Miss Langti-ey," he said, Mr Fawcett must not only restore the title-deeds, but reconvey the estate, and that reconveyance he 13 bound to em rate on receipt of the money." The elder Fawcett sat confounded. The younger, speaking for the first time, admitted that they had not '• altogether ex pected " the business to be arrayed in this wise. The title-deeds they woidd hand over at once ; they had them here, in fact. As for the deed of reconveyance, they .MUld peruse it when submitted. Mr Goodban dived for the third time in» to the depths of his bag, and brought out, a foldeH parchment. "Knowing that my client wished an im mediate settlement, he said, "1 have pre pared a deed of reconveyance, ready for signature. Oblige me by seeing that it is correct," Re passed it across tbe table*, and tbe Fawcetts read it together. That _* to say, Fawcett junior read it, and Fawcett; senior pretended to read it. But he was choking with mortification, and his eyes travelled no' further than the first half-dozen words of the opening formula. The man had set his heart upen Tho Grange. It was bis Naboth's vineyard. For ten years (perhaps longer) he had coveted-it, and marked it for his own; making it in various wajo the nucleus of his ambition and desires. Possessing it, he would acquire a position in the county. That position would pave his way to Parl/amend. Scheme upon scheme, project npon Droject he had reared his house of cartfe to the topmost storey, only to see it shat tered before his eyes at the moment of com pletion. The parchment being found correct, Mr Goodban counted out the money note by note, coin by coin; principal, arrears of in terest. and costs. The Fawcetts counted it after him. The money and tin-box labelled •' Langtrey Grange Estate," then changed hands across the table ; Mr Goodban hastily verified the title-deeds ; and only the deed of conveyance remained to be signed. It was the place of Fawcett senior to sign first. He reddened—hesitated—then, plung ing his pen in the ink, dashed off his name with a flourish j muttered something about his " act and deed," and walked to the window humming a tune through his teeth.. The younger Fawcett witnessed his uncle's signature, and handed the deed back to Mr Goodban. "And now, Mis 3 Langtrey," said Mr Goodban, "Mr jFawcett having delivered up your deeds and executed the reconvey ance, he is entitled to a receipt for them^ which I have endorsed on the schedule originally prepared and signed by Mr Francis Fawcett when the deeds were handed to him. Will you be good encngh to sign there—just there, if you please." And Mr Goodban placed the document before Miss Lanytrey. "My signature ends this business}" ;.', " Finally." "Ihen I have a word to say before.;! write it." ', "- Mr Goodban smiled expectantly; tot* Winifred, knowing what was coining, began to tremble. J'Z' "Not to you, Mr Goodban—to John Fawcett yonder, who just now told me to my face that I was putting h.m off with a, lie, to gain time. "Mr Fawcett forgot himself, my dear Miss Langtrey—forgot himself strangely, ia a moment of excitement; but lam sure he regrets. . . ." Miss Langtrey interrupted him with.a scornful laugh. "Forgot himself? Not he. He forgot . his part—that's all! He forgot that ; be. plays the character of a gentleman—and plays it ill enough at the best of times! Living himself in an atmosphere of chicanery and falsehood, he forgot tbat decent folk neither tell lies nor suspect others of telling them." "My dearmadam. . . ." " Tut, tut, Mr Goodban ! it i« not for an honest gentlemanlike you to defcn-1 one who is neither honest nor a gentleman.'' ■ Fawcett, still at the window, wheeled round, stammering rage and defiance. If you mean that for mc— —" . , "I mean that for you, John Fawcett. I've meant it for you this many a year. You are grasping, dishonest, a liar to the back bone 1 You lured my brother Stephen to his destruction. An upright attorney re fused bis case ; you led him on and ruined him. He fell—you rose. Ho was beg gared—you prospered. Money, land, credit were coined to fill your pockets. You sucked his blood like leeches —you and your partner Clarke. You stripped him like thieves and murderers, and left him to die by the way side," "Take! care, Miss Langtrey—take care! My nephew witnesses what you say." ''I repeat my words, and will repeat them to every one—theives and murderers ! Oh, you shall have the whole county _ for witnesses! You are none the less theives because you did your plundering legally ! You are none the less murderers because, in stead of cutting the man's throat, you wore the life out of him by inches !" " Aunt Hester—dear Aunt Hester!" in terposed Winifred, imploringly. " Winifred, I' will' speak. Your uncle's death lies 'at [this villian's door-his death and our ruin; and now that I have bim face to face, no power on earth shall silence me i" " You have said enough, Miss Langtrey —more than enough," urged Mr Goodban, "Let me entreat you to sign tho deed." He dipped a pen in the ink, and offered it to her. She took it with an odd look, and said somewhat indistinctly— "Where is it ? Where am I to sign ?" " Here, opposite the .red wafer. Never mind those pencilled initials. You can write over them." Her passion had been too strong for her strength, and now a strange trembling and confusion had come upon her. Neverthe less, she steadied her pen on the paper, and and wrote. Mr Goodban, anxiously watching, [saw how her hand dragged, and how the writing staggered. Her " Hester," usually so up right, wavered all aslant, and tho " Lang trey,"—carried forward without a break, as if tbe writer could not trust her pen to leave the paper—came straggling feebly dow n towards the right. Suddenly, as she strove to form the last "y," Miss Langtrey's eyes grew dim, her ears were filled with a sound like the tumult of many waters, and, with a heavy sigh, she fell forward on the table. To be Continued on Wednesday.
