■■Mgjg_|____________—j___ __!__; (Continued from third fast.) in an open boat, Passing as a Genoese fisherman, lie then remained at Gorgona till the eDd of July, taking employment in the anchovy-fishing, and earning his weekly wtt"c like any other of the "chance hands" who run accrbss from the mainland at that season. Thence, having sold his boat, he went on to Corsica and Sardinia; and, by and by, crossed from Cagliari to Corfu, and from Corfu to Brindisi. All this he did in pursuance of a fixed plan • that plan being to purchase a mer chant-vessel, and take up for good and all, with the lite of an ocean-trader. "And have you no home on terra-firma." asked Mr Marrables, when so much was told- , • * a . But Lord Brackenhury, instead of reply ing to this question, went back to the sub ject of his first enquiries. Then Mr Marrables stated all he knew, and showed him copies of the corres pondence between himself and the firm of Fawcctt and Clarke. " And there is really a claimant ?" " So it seems—the man calling himself Compton, and putting up in Macclesfield. Now, it he has actually placed in Fawcett and Clarke's hands the paper named in their letter, and if those papers are genuine, how did he come by them ? Where were all those letters and biils, where were those inven tories of the diamonds, when you left your travelling-carriage." "In my black bag, on the floor, beside where I was sitting." " You are sure of that ?" "As sure as that lam here, I left them there on purpose." " And you took nothing with you ?" '• Nothing but the diamonds and money in my belt, and two small miniatures- Lancelot's and my mother's." " Can you remember whether there were any other letters in the bag, besides your brother's and Lady. . . I mean, Miss Savage's?" "Yes; there were some from Mellor, Dead? poor fellow ! I am sorry to hearthat. One from Sir Reginald Barker, about the sale of a cairiaaehnrso ; one, if not two, from yourselves —Mailables and Blake ; and all my hotel bills, from the time of leaving Englaud, I shall remember more, I daresay, when 1 have time (o think about it." "These things must have been stolen from your bat' between the time of your leaviug the carriage and the arrival of your brother at La Spezzia." Lord Brackcubury considered for a moment ; then, with his gravely ironical amile, he said ;— " 1 know now who the gentleman is. He is my man, Proutmg." Half an hour later, when their plan of operations was concerted, Mr Marrables scribbled a note to Lancelot, telling him that the meeting was unavoidably post poned, and begging him to make uo kind of move, meanwhile in the matter. To Faw cett and Clarke, he also wrote a line to say that being himself unable to go to Singleton to-morrow, he trusted it would not incon convenience those gentleman to defer their visit till Wednesday at the same hour, . " And now my dear friend," said the little lawyer, " I will do what I ought to have done long since- order your Bupper to be prepared and your bedroom to be got ready," But Lord Bracken bury wanted neither food nor lodging. He had put up at the Railway Inn at Sandbach, where the people were all new, and nobody was likely to recognise him ; and at Sandbach he had hired a horse, and so ridden over. The horse awaited him in the stables of the vil lage Inn close by. r "We had better meet to-morrow at Maccle. field," he said " and go together to ' the York Hotel. One thing is certain—that, . once having taken possession of Mr Comp ton, we must not lose sight of him for a moment." " And having taken possession of him— having brought hitn here, let us say, in readiness to be produced on Wednesday— what do you yourself propose to do '!" asked Mr Marrables ? » ■■ j~. "You —you youtself—Cuthbert, Lord Bracken bury. You do not, I presume, intend to resume your titles and estates 2" Lord Brackcubury frowned. " I mean to confirm my brother in both to the utmost of my power." " In what way ?" " You must tell me in what way. lam ready to make any declaration, to sign any ' paper, that may be desirable and neces« sary." " And are you so little learned in the law that you think you can do this thing ? You i are not a King, my dear friend, that you can abdicate in favour of the next heir, at your pleasure. You are a peer of Great Britain-a mem _er of the Legislature ; one whose functions are strictly hereditary, and wno has no power torelegate those functions to another." " Is that so, Marrables ?" " That is absolutely so. In so far as the estates go, you can—there having been no resettlement—release them to your bro. ther; but Baron Brackenbury you are ' nolens voleus,' and Baron Brackenbury you remain, till the title passes at your death to the next in succession." Lord Brackenbury looked down ; put his hand over his mouth ; and sat silent. "If you wish your brother I ancelot to retain his name and station," continued Mr Marrables, with a solemnity of manner that was the more impressive because so un usual, " then to him you must remain for f. ever dead. Knowing you to be alive, he a could neither bear your title nor transmit it *• to his eldest son. He would have no right id" to sit, or to vote, as a peer. If he did so, he would be guilty of a fraud— dishonoured in his own eyes, and, if discovered, dis« graced in the eyes of the world." " I had not thought of this," said Lord Brackenbury, in a low voice. " What would you have me do ?" "Iwould have you keep out of sight together. To the man Erouting you must ). reveal yourself—for that there is no help ; but he is in our power, and must do pre cisely what we chose. He shall make full - confession of his guilt; but he shall not betray that you are living. We will make that condition the price of his pardon— _, otherwise we hand him over to the tender mercies sf the law, and he gets, in all proba bility, seven years' penal servitude. In the mean while, Marrables and Blake must for once be credited with even more than i their due share of legal acumen. » We must be supposed to have found it all h out, through our own sharpness." ' " But this, after all, is a half-measure. <\ It seems to me that we are simply / scheming to keep a secret; and that Lance* lot's position is as uncertain as ever." " You can re-lease the estate to your brother, absolutely; and without his know D ledge." '• And lest it should some day be neces« sary to produce evidence for the security of his title, you can leave a written statement id in our hands—a statement in full of all that you have told me to-night and of as a- much more as may be needful, showing how you went away of your own act and at deed ; giving the date and particulars of your marriage ;. and stating that you are without heirs male of your body, whose interests would prejudice the interests of Lancelot's children. This statement, sealed \ with your seal, can lie at our office till your ' death, and not even then be delivered to your heirs uuless under pressure of some emergency." " Yes I will do thatalso." But then we must know where you live, * in case it be necessary to communicate with you ; and you must provide that your id executors over yonder give our firm duo j. notice of your decease." m Lord Brackenbury nodded, g " And if at any time you become the father of a son . . . ." i- "That will never be, my good friend. »- The birth of our little girl very nearly left jj| me a widower; and my wife, I am told, will never be a mother aeain." Mr Marrables drew a deep breath. "Then cur last and greatest difficulty . vanishes into thin air," he said. " I regret the fact for your sake, my dear Lord Brackenbury; bnt Ido not pretend to deny that it relieves my mind of a very serious burden." "Don't call me 'Lord Brackenbury,' Marrables," said the other. " I have done J, with that name for ever. I am Cesare Donato, of the Italian-merchant-service, and captain of the brig ' Diamante '."
