" Yes —wuen it was coo late." J " And turned monk ?" i< No—he did better. He carried his * sword to Venice, and died fighting the battle ! * of the Republic. Would you like to see the Lady Geraldine's grave ? She is supposed to have been buried on the highest point of the Bidgejust above our heads." He declared that he should like it above all things. So they left tbe path for a track leading still higher, which brought them presently to a little knoll on the brink of a cIilF almost overhanging the meadow. Here, shaded by a clump of stunted firs and almost overgrown by brambles, stood four weatherworm granite slab?, placed edgewise in the form of a trough, some eight feet in length by three in breadth. The en closed space i,was lull of weed?. A fifth slab evidently part of the ancient covering stone, lay half-buried in the ground a few yards off. , , " The story goes that she asked to be buried here on the spot where she watched daily for his coming," said Miss Savage, half shyly, as deprecating the incredulity of her audience. " You see wht>t a view it com mands. The place goes by the name of ' The Bride-Stones.'" "There must have been a painful disparity oS a^e-several centurie? at least —between £ir Wilfred and the fair Geraldine," said Cochrane smiling. "This is neither more nor less than a. kist-vaen— andin excellent pieservation." "A kist-vaen—what in it?" " A eepnlchra! monument, commonly called pie-historic—probably the grave of some early British chieftain. But do not look so disappointed, Miss Savaae. The thing is much more curious than if it really contained the bones ot your traditionary heroine." "But I prefer my heroine to your chief tain ; and'l don't feel inclined to give her up." "Keep her, by all means, my dear lady. I don't ask you to give up anything but her grave. But this monument is a most un deniable kist-vaen. It has been opened, too—a long time ago, apparently, by the look of that cover and the depth at which it is buried." " I wonder who opened jit, said Lance " Your friends, the ' dark folk' no doubt; and all they cot for their pains, most likely, was a handful of bones, a few potsherds, and perhaps an old bronze torque. But 1 should like to re-open it. They may have overlooked something." "You are welcome to excavate it to an depth you please," said Brackenbury indifferently. "Am I ? Then you must provide me with a couple of diggers; ana if I come upon the Lady Geraldine, I promise to hand her over to Miss Eavage for Christian burial." Then looking round, almost for the hrst time, he remarked upon the extent and beauty of the prospect. "You see part of three counties," said Miss Savage; " and on a clear day, fifteen towns and villages." " I can well believe it. What place if that Avith three or four church spires yonder?" "Singleton, where we were eating out luncheon a couple of hour? ago," answered Lancelot. ; " And this queer quadrangular .building surrounded by trees ?' This time it was Miss Savage who re plied. .... ~ "That in Langtrey Grange," she said, smiling. But the smile was quickly followed by a sigh, "/ ,;

CHAPTER XVIII.

LANGTREY GRANGE. COCHRANE was nothing it not critical; but be at once confessed that neither at home nor abroad bail he Been anything to com . pare, in its way, with Langtrey Grange. 'He fell in love at the first glimpse of it between the trees, and his admiration ex pressed in a gathering 'crescendo/increased at every step. The house stood in the midst of a green flatj'.embowered in trees, surrounded by pas tures, and approached by a private road interrupted by at least a dozen gates. Mif s Savage, however, conducted them by a shorter way, first crossing the little river by a high wooden bridge, and then taking [ a footpath across the meadows. Presently 1 they came to a field larger than the rest, in which there were many cows and some fine I elms ; and then, through an opening in the trees, Air Cochrane caught sight of a most curious old house patterned 'all over in black and white, with projecting upper storeys, and all kinds of jutting gable-ends, and ivy-grown chimneys, and quaint case ment-windows filled with ancient lozenge paned glass (that winked and glittered in the afternoon sunlight. Drawing nearer, he saw that this house was cut off from the surrounding meadows by a moat, and ap proached by a dilapidated stone bridge ; the rampart having been pulled down to right and left of the bridge, and the ground con verted into a green slope planted with cherry-trees to the water's edee. Never had he beheld so quaint a dwelling a house. It was like a great toy; and the t patterning of the walis was as various and ' capricious as the designs in a Japanese \ puzzle. Squared oft into compartments by the larger beams, every i ot of the suifacc was diapered with chevrons, quatrefoils, ; crosses, diamonds, diagonals, circles, and i the like, all done iv timber on the plaster t ground-the timber painted black, and the plaster toned down by age to a creamy yellow. Arid there were black pendants like stalactites at each gable corner; and • lines of carved scroll-work under the jutting eaves ; and over the gateway, supported by twisted pillars, two at each Bide, a deep 1 cotnice quaintly sculptured with rows of heraldic shields in panelled recesses. These shields yet showed traces of gold and colours, i but all the rest—pillars, capitals, cornices, [ pendants—were in old black oak. f Gochrane stood for a moment, still and silent. It seemed to him that he was look ing at a very old and very beautiful picture. Then his delight broke out in exclamations. The absence of uniformity, the surpriding ■ fancifulness of the details, moved him to a sort^ofantiqunrianrapture. Above all, he wbh '- charmed with the soft harmony of colour; the time-worn tints of the wood and plaster; the faded reds and yellows of the old .fiat roofing tiles; the sober green of the ivy which bad spread up all one side of the wing to the right of the gateway and overran a cluster of tall chimneys above, looking like a gigantic hand in a green glove, with one finger pointing upwards, "In heaveu's name !" he cried, " what is the dute of this house ?" But Lancelot, smiling, bade him follow I Miss Savage, who had gone on while they i stood gaziug, and was now crossing the bridge over the moat. ' A blind retriever lying in the gateway lashed the ground feebly with his tail at her approach, and, pulling himself together by an effort, followed her into the court yard. At the sight of this courtyard—or. rather of the buildings by which it was sur i rounded—Mr Cochrane drew a long breath. The south; side—that by which they entered—was two storeys iv height; the north, east, and west sides, but one. .The east side, to their right as they stood in the gateway, consisted of a long uniform wing" : lit by four casement windoVs on the ground floor, and by four smaller ones above. It contained the offices. The north side, now facing them, contained the dwelling-rooms, and was the part of the house inhabited by Miss Langtrey and her niece. The west side, being carried only half way, ended in a boldly patterned gable-end with carved pilasters at the corners ; while a low wall and a small gate connected it with the north, or entrance, wing. This gate led to the cherry-orchard by the moat, and round to the garden at the back. But it was the north side opposite the gateway that held Mr Cochrane breathless. The quaintness of the outer fagade was nothing to the quaintness of this inner front. To describe it in such wise as to convey any ■ exact impression by means ot words is im possible,' It was simply a fantastic and heterogeneous jumble of parts that seemed to have no connection with each other -to have been set down, as it were, by accident, and left there by mistake. The doo-way was in the left-hand corner—a wonderful old doorway enclosing a deep, dark porch flanked on each side by three clusters of twisted pillars, and surrounded by a cornice quaintly carved in rosettes and zigzags, all in black wood. Above this porch were three courses of quatrefoiis in timber and plaster work, white upon black, and black upon white, in panelled recesses divided by dwarf pilasters; the whole supporting a very large window surmounted by a gable. This porch-window protected some twelve feet beyond what seemed to be the main line of building. The rest of the front consisted of two most singular and picturesque bay windows; the one a half octagon ranging level with the porch ; the other a half sex agon placed considerably more forward and filling the angle at the N.B. corner of the court-yard. Thesewindowsstoodwideapart below; but their upper storeys, each face capped with a jutting gable-end, bo far overhung their basements that they met above, forming a continuous chain of case , ments placed at all kinds of angles. They looked, in short, like a pair of enormous, : top-heavy lanterns leaning ajfainst each other; or like two very elaborate arid fragile towers of glass which a breath might ehatteiv ■ : Cochrane stood and gazed, and did not utter a word—gazed at the courses of scroll

md-panel-work that divided the iowef rom the upper storeys of these wonderful ild windows; at the varied patterns of the my casement-panes, set m shapes of stars, oses, crosses, diamonds, and the like; at he grotesque heads terminating every wacket and pendant and gargoyle; at the irests and mottoes aud quaint legends ;arved along the crqss beams under the lodding gables. Hero he read:— " Laungtkey-1 oyaultk." On the next beam : " God is in a l thinge." A little farther on : " THIS WINDOV WIIIRE RK PAYRKD BY PHILIP LAUNGTREY—In YE Yeare of ouke Lorde mdlix.'1 Lancelot watched him, enjoying his un disguised astonishment. Miss iSatage's at tention, meanwhile, was engrossed by some three or four score of snowy fan-tailed pigeons. These pretty creatures—her own especial pets—had espied her from the roof; and first one, then two, then half-a dozen, came fluttering down, cooing and courtseying about her feet, and clamouring softly for their accustomed food. Laughing, she took off her hat and let them settle in a cloud on her head, on her shoulders, on her upraised hand and arm. The slanting sun light caught her wheie she stood, while behind her lay the house all in shadow. It was a ready-made picture, and Lance lot, looking on with the eye ot an artiat, longed to paint it on the spot. " Well," he said presently," ' rwhatdoyou think of t'-e place ? Does it come up to your expectation ?" Mr Cocbrane's wandering gßze had by by this time strayed down from the windows to the courtyard. He was looking almost with surprise, evidently with ad miration no longer at the 4 house, but at the lady. "My expectation!" he said slowly. "My expectation fell far short of the reality." She was tall—taller than he had at first supposed—younger, fairer, altogether lovelier and more attractive. Her eyelids, too, were no longer red ; and now that he saw her without her hat, he discovered that ahe had wonderfully kind, frank, pleasant eyes, blue Tather than grey, with long dark lashes, and a half shy, half eager look in them which might easily flash into laughter, or kindle into honest anger. The. brows above those eyes were level, and the fore head broad and low; and the mouth—well, yen ; the mouth was large. Not so large as he had thought; yet larger than quite coincided with Mr Horace Uochrane's standard of perfection. But it'was a beautiful mouth, for all that, and the little oven teeth which that smile disclosed were pei fectly charming. As i forcerhair wavy chestnut hair, with glint of red gold upon it—he had no fault to find with that; not even with the way she wore it, though nothing could well be more careless without being positively untidy. Scanning her thus critically, point by point, as he might have scanned an !un catalogued painting in a gallery, hesitating to what master it should be attributed^ he deeded that Miss Savage not only came up to the level of her reputation, but that there was something peculiarly fresh and*vivid iv heir beauty—that it belonged, in fact, to the Venetian school, and that she ought to haVe been painted (had she only lived three hun dred years ago) by Paris Bordone. He half thought, indeed, that she reminded him of a Bordone which he had seen somewhere or another abroad; but he could not remem ber where. . "„.,, Meanwhile the pigeons circled,.... and lighted, and strutted ; and Miss Savage un conscious of criticism, thought only of feed ing them. "Do please, Lancelot, tap on the kitchen window, and bid Joan or Bridget bring me some food for them," she cried, ingly, . f Lancelot did as he was bidden, and a buxom damsel in pattens presently appeared. with a sieve ot barley in her hand. ' " Thof bet their bait, Miss) a'ready," she said in a tone of remonstrance, "I duuno what Bridget'ull say.", Winifred laughed, and flung the barley in great handf uls about, the yard. "Never fear, Joan,"she said.' "Leave Bridget to me. I will take the blame. Here Lily I—Poor Lily 1-Seine-Blanche! Snowdrift I. . Oh, Bijou; you greedy bird 1 How dare you be so bold 2" ■;; . ■ ■„■■ ,;i Bijou had perched upon the edge of. the seive, and was imprudently helping t him self. '■■: .-■■■■■. II;: \ ■ ■■■■. :j:' "So each pigeon has its name 5 But when all are white, how can you possibly teU one bird from another?" asked Mr Cochrane, with suddenly awakened interest. , -~-, She looked round, smiling. ; ~ ,o.ftv " How does a shepherd know his sheep! My pigeons look all alike, to you, because you are not accustomed to them jyetj^ee as much difference between Bijou, and Lily, and Snowdrift, as if no two were of the save colour. But you are waiting all this, time to pay your visit to my aunt and ccc the house 1 I am treatiug you very rudely/ r ; " 1 am seeing the house now." said Coch rane. "The inside cannot possibly be ras picturesque as the outside." • • .-'. Miss Savage put the sieve on the ground, Bijou and all; said a few words in a low voice to Joan; and, leaving her pets to finish their meal, offered to lead the way through the unoccupied rooms, " I have sent word to my aunt that you are here, she said, but before yon:go in, you may as well see the south wing., Down, Prince—down 1 No, Jack—you must stay, outside. Good dogs—lie down." *' * ; She led the way to a door under he gate way, first fetching the key from where it hung inside the porch. The lock was rusty, and Lancelot with, difficulty, turned the key. "We hardly ever open these rooms, said Miss Savage. "They are full ptdußt: and ghosts, and are going fast to ruin.", '~ ?« " Ghosts ! Are you so rich that [you b)m more than one ?' ■" We are sp.poor that we do not own even one. There is a tradition of a wandering light which is seen in the gallery overhead when a Langtrey.is about to die; but that is a poor substitute for a family apparition, and we refuse to believe in it. Youarejnowin the Little Hall. I don't know what use they made of it in the old time—we have turned it into a lumber-room for all kinds of rub bish." . •*;■' :<;A It was a gloomy room with panelled wall?, and one large casement window so thick with dust that it let in scarcely any light. It was; not so dim, however, but that they could see at the farther end a hetcrogenous pile of old furniture, packing-cases, tarnished cornices and picture frames, mouldy harness, rusty pikes and halberts, old book-capes, boxes, fishing-tackle, garden-tools, n'and the like. Beyond this lay ■ "a-smaller room called the "Still-room;'? "!sur rounded by presses and .communicating by a passage with the old. kitchen in the East W'°g—:& .firea*», gloomy cavern,of a place; with rows of rusty hooks inthe rafters overhead, and a Huge * fireplace at which many an ox had been roasted'iri the olden time. ■■■, —^ ••■ , ...n'lpl it® Never sirice; Stephen Lan'gtrey'ii father came, of age had those rafters echoed to the laughter of wassailers.

Then they retraced their steps,-w'ent in at another door on the opposite side of the gate way, and found themselves iri theGreat'Hall or Banqueting Boom, which, with. c its old black panelling, high carved chimney-piece, and fragments of rusty armour banging on the walls,-occupied the other half'of the South Front ground;floor. i Thence, by Way of a narrow staircase, Miss Savage took ■ them up to the first floor. ■ '•l ■■■■>■ < «' " These," she said, " are what used to be called tho ' State Apartments.'

" Her Most Gracious Majesty arrived on the twenty-eighth of May, accompanied by the Lords Burleigh, Leicester, Afundel, and Hunsdon, and a numerous suite j'.and departed the following morning.
