At all events I am glad it is settled. . . glad, too, that rtiy dear Winifred will be Lady Brackeubury after all." "Mrs Fennefcather ?"

Well, Ido not ask for your confidence. Some day, perhaps, yon will give it to me. Mean while Tcan olily pay that I am sorry to have vexed you—more sorry than I have words Winifred was silent. Wot because ohe oonld not forgive, but he'epnse she did not know how fo answer. Mrs Pennefeather wan ber friend. She bad known her intimately for some seven or eight years that is to say, ever since Mr Pennefeather first came to be curate at Langtrey—and during all this time she bad been the con fidante of Mrs Pcnnefeather's troubles When the children were ill, when critics were cruel, when pullers were stony hearted, it was to Winifred that Mrs Pennefcather was wont to turn for sym pathy and counsel. ' And Winifred really Jovcd her friend, and her friend's children ; read Mrs Pennefeather's manufcripts; was interested in her heroes and heroines; ard even as we bavn seen, contrived incidents for her at a pinch. These things wero un doubtedly signs and tokens of a very strict intimacy ; and, yet. notwithstanding the strictness of that intimacy, Winifred was in no wise minded to regard her friend In light of an " alter! eco." Mrs Pennefeatber (to use her own language, which favoured occasionally of her literary style) might " bare her inmost heart" to Winifred as un reservedly as sho pleaded ; but it by no means followed that Winifred (should bar c her inmost heart to Mrs Penr.fifeather. If she had a secret, it was such a secret as phe had scarcely dared to confess even to her fltlf—how, then, should she confess it to another? " Is it possible that you will not foreive me ?" said Mrs Pennefeather, looking very P&1& . . t j * "That is not why Tarn silent. Ido for give you ; but Sho checVcd herself, for ghe heard voices bclow-men's voices in hearty greeting Sound travelled clearly alone those bare pas sages and carpntless stairs, and Winifred s ear had caught the ring of a familiar laugh. "Oh, dear me!" exclaimed Mrs Pennc feather, " there are visitors down stairs. Somebody on parish business, no doubt; and Derwentha* taken them into the dining room where all my pap»rs arc lying nbont I" "Lizzy I Lizzy." cried »t this momenta clear, strong voice in the ball. "Are you upstairs ? Mr Brackenbury and Mr Coch rane arc here I" Mrs Pcnncfaatber loooked at Wini fred. " What shall 1 say f' she asked. " Say nothing except that you are com ing." "And you?" " I am late, and must go home at once. You have only to shut the dining-room door when you go in and no one will hear or see me pa?s." Mrs Pennefeather turned to leave the room. " You are quite—quite sure that you for give ?" she faltered. Winifred smiled, and held ont her hand ; but Mrs Pennefealher flew into ber arms and hugged her. And so they parted. Then as soon as she was alone, Winifred ran back to the cot ; pinned her five pound note to baby's pillow ; imprinted a last kiss on his soft little cheek ; listened for a moment on the landing; and, having made sure that the dining-room door was shut, stole breathlessly down the stairs, through the hall, and "out of the house like a culprit.

CHAPTEKXXIV.

HIS LAST LETTERS. It was on the day following their visit to Langtrcy Grause that Lancelot and Coch ranc took that long tramp over the moors. They started gaily enough in the freshness of the morning ; they came back tired and silent, as the chill November dusk was closing in. A well-lit room, a weU-laid table, a blazing log fire welcomed them back to Old Court; and Lancelot, mindful of his duty es host, made an effort to talk. Bat it was visibly an effort; and, like all such efforts, fell short of the mark. His thoughts wandered; and when they presently adjourned to the studio, he fell into a gloomy silence. Cochrann," meanwhile, smoked his cigarette : dipped his coffee ; stared at the fire; aud enjoyed that enviable state of well-being which our Oriental friends call " kef." The falling of a log, followed by ashowei of sparks, roused Lancelot from his brown study. " I beg your pardon," he said. "I am horribly dull to-night; and I make it dull for you also." "Not at all," replied Cochrane. lam glad to be quiet." "The fact ia—l cannot get that old woman's words out of my head." " I don't think they are words worth remembering," said Cochiane. Lancelot shook his head. "It is not that I am superstitious," he said, slowly. "It is not that I for one moment put faith in an old crone's dreams and fancies; but—— " "But what, then ?" " It is that she echoed my own conviction. Ido not feel that my brother is dead. I have never felt it. I feel that he live?. .. ." " My dear Brackenbury 1" 11 Yes—lives. Somewhere or another, on land or sea, he lives - lives at this moment. I tell you it is so. I know it." He rose excitedly, and walked to the further end of the room. Then came back, and leaned against the chimney-piece. " Now you understand why I was sc 1 reluctant to follow Marrables' advice," h« said, lapsing into sullen gloom. "lam c '. usurper. I take his name and place ; anc some day, when he comes to ask me for ai account of my stewardship, what shall I saj to him f " But this is rnadneas—sheer Midsummer madness !" "It is not madness," said Lancelot, dog gedly. " Men don't die by violence anc leave no trace. Tf he had been murdered 1 should have found his corpse. If theli had been a struggle, I should have dis covered signs of it. Do you suppose I lef : any stone unturned? Do you think th< smallest clue could have escaped me un noticed ? Why, I left not an acre of thoa( woods and hill-sides unexplored. I em ployed not only soldiers and police, but ] sent out blood-hounds. If there had beei so much as a shred of his clothes or a loci > of his hair upon the bushes they woulc ' have found it I" "Then what do you think has becomi of him ?'! asked Cochrane incredulously. " I don't know what to think. It is i ' dreadful mystery," groaned Lancelot. J "It is not as if we were living in the dayi .of English press-gangs or Barbary corsairs,' B faid Cochrane. £ " Italian banditti are as daring, and mon i clever." 7 Cochrane got up from his chair, and lai<3 J his hand on Lancelot's shoulder. 8 "My dear friend," he said gently, " wha' i wild fancy have you in your head! Italiai * banditti follow one of two courses. They 0 either rob a man for immediate booty oi i- seize his person for the purpose of exacting a ransom. Who ever heard of a travellei 1 being not oply plundered, but carried inh i secret captivity, and kept alive for. years ■ for no motive whatever ? Your brother, mj [. dear fellow—yonr unfortunate brother, was f sohly too well worth robbing. It| was nol a usom they wanted ia bis case, I am as

of banditti." "And that be was murdered ?" Gochrane lcoked down, assenting by a nod, "Well, I cay again, if he was murdered, he must nave" been buried, and if he was buried, I must have found his corpse.1 •' I don't see that," said Cochrane. "He was lost, as I understand it, near the coast. What was there to prevent his captors—for give me for sujfHesting so painful a possibility—what wfts there to prevent his captors from putting out to sea under cover of the darkness, and drowning him if alive, of sinking his body if dead ?" Lancelot turned pale. '• 1 used sometimes to tell myself that he might have lost his way and fallen over the cliils," he said, in a low, shuddering voice-. " But I never thought of bis being—drowned alive." For a few moments they were both silent. Then Lancelot took abunehofkeys from his pocki t, opened a large carved cabinet atthe opposite side of the room, and came- back with a packet of papers in his band. " These are his letters," he said, dropping into his chair. " Sit down, and I will read you the two last I ever received from him/ Cochrano sat down. The lamp was. between them. The fire burned low and; clear, The rest of the ) oorn was steeped in a warm gloom. He looked at the letters with a feeling approaching to awe. It wag as thotigu the nand of the lost man were stretched out to them from the world beyond the grave." "|I was up in Scotland, shooting, when he wrote them," continued Lancelot. "The first reached me a day or two before he left Genoa ; the second followed me to Italy after his disappearance. He finished it the v cry night before he started on that fatal journey. I will begin with the earliest." He drew tbe lamp nearer, shaded his eyes v/ith his hand, and read aloud :— No. I. " Hotel Feder, Genoa" " April 10,18,— " My deak Lancelot,— " I, am glad to hear that Urquhart has asked you to Gienmoro. It will be a pleas ant change for you, after so many months at Old Court. The house, no doubt, will bo well tilled, and Urqubart.s moors are, cf course, first-rate. If the Craigtoilliars are there, please say all that is proper for me in the way of congratulation. He will be hugely pleased to haug out C.B. after his name ; and the distinction, such asitit, has Bbeen well earned. But you know in what estimation I hold these button-hole honours. "I arugladtosay that I have heard of some jewels here in Genoa (tne property of a decayed nobleman), which, I hope will suit my purpose. 1 have not yet sccnthem ; but am in communication with a certain lawyer who acts as intermediary in the matter, .He says they consist of diamonds only, which I much prefer to mixed stones, and bo, I be lieve, does Winifred. I am to see them in the course of a few days, and will let you know the result. It was quite by chance ihatlmade enquiry here, for I was persuaded that Homeland onJy Borne, was the place for jewels. -. •. ■~ " I hope to leaf c Genoa about the 14th or 15th inst., but cannot say for certain "while these negotiations are pending. Your best plan, if you write again before I get to Florence, will be to address Poste Bestante, La Spezzia, where I shall stay one night. "Your affectionate brother, " Bbackenbuky," "That is (ie first, "said Lancelot, re-fold ing the letter with fl sieh. " Somewhat dry and matter-of-fact, like most of his 'itterii. He could write pungently enough, when ho choose ; but he rarely took that trouble, Here is the second—and last." No. IL "Hotel Feder, Genoa, "April 16th, 18— " My dear Lancelot,— " I write late at night, after a long and busy day ; so must tell my news briefly. In the first place, I have not only seen the jewels, but bought them ; and I have had a man here all the evening taking them out of their old-fashioned setting—so bringing i them into more convenient compass for travelling. I intend to have them re-Eet by Castellani, after some good Roman or Etruscan model. The stones are very good. Three of the largest are rose-cut; but the rest are all brilliants, and of excellent water. It is, I believe, almost impossible to find, a set of old Italian diamonds without some admixture ot rose-cut stones. I have paid o great price—more by far than I had intended ; but I console myself by reflecting that I have given no more for the jewels than the market value of the stones.; and that diamonds are, in fact, an investment. These would at any time fetch at least aa much as I have paid for them. My notion, however, is of course to treat them as an heir-loom. , " The bargaining scene would have amused you. I fought a lawyer and a banker single-handed, and came off vic torious ; paying precisely tbe sum I at first offered, which was fourteen thousand less than they asked. We haggled over it^finely as you may suppose. ; ' " I am anxious now to get on to Roma with my spoils. To-morrow morning I 1 am to ccc a travelling carriage; and shall, if possible, start in the afternoon. "I was very glad to receive your letter of the Bth inst. from Glenmore, and toleam that yorl are having what our American brethren call 'a good time.' We must see what can be done to make Old Court more comfortable for you when I return,^ You cannot go on without stable accommodation of some Eort; and another room or too, in. which to put up a friend, would be a vast improvement. I have a plan in my head for doing this (without in any way daniagi ing the picturesque iffect of the rains.'; " God bless you. "Your affectionate brother, . "Bbackenboky. "P.S. April 17.—The above waß written yesterday. I found I must have Blent nt a a wretched little mountain inn if I had started this afternoon, whereas by going to morrow morning, I shall reach La Spezzia the same night. So I have decided for to morrow. I,' . : " By the way, if anything was to happen to me before my marriage, I should'like Winifred to have the diamonds. Don't suppose from this that I am in the least unwell. I never was better. But life is un certain at the best of times; and having no means of making a proper codicil .on' the subject, I just mention the wish by way of precaution." Lancelot's voice dropped as he read the postcript. " Bis mind misgave him when he wrote those last lines," said he. ■ '■■'■ " I don't know that I should take that view of it," replied Cochrane. "A thosgbtful, practical man, like the writer of those letters, would naturally look to possibilities. He had made an important investment, and he was on the eve of a journey ; ]usttbe occasions on which people fall to thinking of their wills. Besides, be was bent on doiDg a risky thing—and he knew it was lisky," " It was the act of a madman ! Fancy, a belt full af diamonds; but not only dia monds, but money, letters of credit, notes 1" " Was no one suspected? " Suspected—yes. A dozen innocent persons were more or less suspected ; but not one upon whom there rested any perma nent shadow of guilt." "And you are absolutely without the slightest clue ?" " Absolutely." . " You have never traced any of the dia monds ?" " Never. They were unset you know ; i and even the man who valued them I and , took them to pieces, though he weighed and I counted them at the time, could, not i remember the exact particulars. They ' made a sort of catalogue of them that last evening, it seems; but it is supposed that ■ Cuthbert put the list, with, the stones, into bis travelling belt." ' Cocbrane took up the envelope, ana 1 looked at the post-mark. ' ~t, , " Four years and seven months ago IJ ne; r said, mournfully. "My dear fellow, _it is ■ hopeless. If your brother -me yet alive— t no matter how closely imprisoned or how j keenly watched—do you suppose he would - not have found some means to let you i know of his existence ? Why torment your - self with visionary hopes and jfears? Have [ you not suffered suspense and sorrJW l enough!" ■' . r. "It is not a question of will, or even « 1 reason," said Lancelot, impatiently. l have a deep-seated conviction—here. H°ff 3 can I help that ? What can Ido ?" V " Do i Well, take your brother's place, 1 i should say, and fill it worthily. Team yourself to think of him as dead. Set your 3 face to the future, and cease looking bacK " towards the past. Accept the'inevitable. That is the best advice I can offer yon. :; i " Thanks, old fellow. You could give none more manlyor more sensible." ' ; I Lancelot put out his hand, s.nd the fneuas exchanged a hearty grip. This ended their t conversation. Lancelot folded up tne i letters aud returned them to their cabin™; r nnd presently, although it was yet early, r Cochrane pleaded fatigue, and f-aid good y night. r (To le cvn/inueo'on Saturday),
