weeks with visitors ; ho subscribes liber ally to tho hunt and the local charities; but he does not spend his money so freely as " tho world" conceives it should be spent by a noblompn with £20,000 a year to his rent-roll. Lo.d and Lady Evcrton of Tofl'ec, who, it is well known, are no richer than the Brackeuburys, give twice as many dinner-parties ; and the princely hospitalities of Mr Fink and Countess Cas telrosao are the glory of the county. Balls, hunt-breakfasts] picnics, garden-parties, private theatricals, are the atmosphere in which that popular couple live and have their being. Who, up in the " north countrcc." ever thought of giving a day light ball with a dancing-floor laid down upon the lawn, till this beautiful American came from the far west to teach our English country gentlefolk how to enjoy the goods the gods provide thorn ? Who ever before invited two hundred people to a Twelfth night feast, and entertained them with a Masque of Ben Jonson's in a lull lighted by fifty torch-bcarcM in the costumo ot old English beefeaters? Who ever had the Grench actors down from London, or engaged a militiary band a dozen times in the course of the year ? Why, asked " the world," why did not the Brackenbury's follow thi* admirable example, and do some thing really enterprising for society in general t What the world did not know, and did not even guess, was that Lancelot Bracken bury still looked upon himself as "a steward." A steward he had called him self that evening when Mr Marrablea carried his point, twelve years and more ago; itnda steward,in his heart of hearts,he still deemed himself. That more than seventeen years should have gone by since his brother's disappearance weighed with him not one jot. Five years after that dis appearance he had seen him—seen him face to face in the flesh. He was alive then ; why should he not bo alive now. Come what might, Lancelot would never cease to believo that he was living till he knew him to bo dead. It was a subject on which ho and Wini fred seldom spoke. His vehemence had so impressed her at the first, that she believed he had in very truth met Cuthbertßracken bury that night of the great eruption. But when nothing more came of it, and when the l'etruuelli family were sought out and questioned, and all questioning proved fruit less—then Winifred began to think that, in the excitement of the moment, her husband had been mistaken. As for Mr Fink, he treated the whole thing as an allusion. He also saw the man, and he would not admit that there was any ground, however slight, tor Lord Brackenbury's ' idde fixe.' The man was a big, rough, common-looking man, no more like the lost lord than he was him self like Hercules, So, by and by, finding that his wife and his only witness were both incredulous, Lancelot dropped the sub ject, and Winifred hoped, after awhile, that he had forgotten it. But lie never forgot it; and his conviction nover waversd. And now Lancelot and Winifred, have been tweb'o years married ; aad twelve yes»r» and irix mouths have paused aiuco Mr Marrables prevailed upon Lancelot to prove his brother's will } and seventeen ytars and one month have gone by since Cuthbcrt, Lord Bracktubiiry, bought bin diamonds in Genoa and vanished from the high road between Borghetto and La Spezzia. It ia May—tlie second day ot May; and the Brackoubury* aie still at Brackenbury Court, though intending to go up town in tho course of auotlur wc«k. Lancelot has been out since half-past five, this beautiful fresh May morning, and Lady Brackenbury is walking to uud fro on ths lawn outside tho breakfast-room windows. Time has dealt tenderly with this Winifred whom the critical Cochrane was fain to admire when she fed her pigeons in the courtyard at Latigtrcy Grange. More than ever now should she have been paintad by that excel lent limner, Pari* Bordono. Her figure has acquired the gracious itateliuess which co especially characterises Bardonc's noble Venetian ladien. The red gold in her chestnut hair catches the sunlight as she walks, ncr long »kii t sweeps after her like a train. One would like to see her dressed in tine Venetian style, in a robe of white and good brocade, with a feather fan in her hand, and a rope of pearls twisted in the loose coils of her hair. Suddenly, tho breakfa«t-room door i opened ; and a gentliman comes across the room, and out through the open window. "At last!" she says gladly, "At last, dearest. You have not waited for me ?', " We waited till nine ; and then the boys were so hungry that they would have eaten me, if I had not rung for breakfast. But you must be hungry too ?" " Tremendously." " And old Lois 1" " She died about twenty minutes after I got there—quite painlessly and unconsci ously. It was a mere ceasing of the breatb. No more. " And she said nothing ?" " Sho muttered something once j but it was almost inaudible. I fancied I caught the " lire," and I thought,perhaps, she was dreaming of her grandmother at the stake." "And—you are disappointed, Lance lot J" " Well, no," he replies, with an impatient sigh, " Nothing in that way disappoints me now, I expect nothing. I have up expecting anything. Still, as she had once spoken—years ago—thero was just a chance that |ghe might speak again, Anyhow, I am glad I was th«re when she died." With thie, ho looked at his watch, re marked that it was more than half-past ton, and turned back to the breakfast room." As he took his seat at the table the door flew open and three noisy Doy?, one carrying a post-bag, burst in«o the room. "Incursion ot the barbarians!" said Lancelot, laughing. " There now ! don't all talk at once. Well, Uuthbert, what about that pony I" "I've just been round to thestables,papa. Carter says I mustn't ride him for two or three days ; but Sam Leigh has looked at his foot, and so have I, and wo don't either of us believe there's anything tho mutter with it!" " If Carter says you mustn't ride him, my boy, there is no appeal. Sam Leigh's opinion is worth a trifle less than nothing; and as for you—you are a baby." "A baby! You call a fellow who was eleven last birthday a baby 1 Herbert and Wilfred are babies, if you like 1" Whereupon Herbert, aged seven, and Wilfred, aged five, make an indignant raid upon the buttered toast, and retire laden with spoil, . "We are waiting for papa to open the post-bag," says Lady Brackenbury, pouring out her husband's coffee. So Lancelot unlocks the bs ,anp transfers the duty of sorting its utents to his wife. " Two for Miss Purcell" (Miss Purcell is the younger boys'govorness);" three for you, Lancelot; and ever so many—seven I declare !—for me; to say nothing of papers and pamphlets. Mine look like invitations. Yours look like business—No ! this one is in Mr Cochrane's writing," Lancelot laid his three letters beside his plate, and went on chatting with his boys and eating his breakfast. Lady Bracken bury, opening her own budget, announced the contents of each letter as she read it. " From the Frenchays—an invitation to dine on tho sixteenth ; we shall be gone to town. Afternoon party at the Endell's on the ninth the very day we have fixed for starting. Countess Castelrosso, for the eighth—' to meet the American Minister ; a Transatlantic breakfast. Midday' What does she mean by a Transatlantic breakfast ? Well, we have no engagement, and it is sure to bs something new and pleasant. Shall I say we will go ?" Lancelot does not answer. The boys have seen a rabbit cross the lawn, and have rushed out with a whoop and a halloo; and now ho is looking at his letters. The first he opens is short and written in a smooth, clear hand. He knows the hand writing well; it it the handwriting of Mr Gilbert Blake, who is Mr Marrables' junior and acting partner. The next, from the samo wiiter, encloses a letter which looks very long and bnsmcss-lilce, and ia written on Bath-post paper. AH these Lancelot reads in turn looking grave the while, and somewhat perplexed. His gravity and his perplexity seem to increase as he reads on. " Your letters do not annoy you, dear ?' said Lady Brackenbiuy,anxiously. " Well, yes—a little. Marrablos wants to sco mo ; mid it is a bore to havo to go over to Singleton to-day," * "To-day '!" "So ha says; if I can spare time to ride over." "But, after being called up this morn ing at five, and riding fourteen miles before breakfast .., ." " Oh, that's nothing !" "Mr Marrables' business cannot be very urgent._ Why not go to-morro,v?" "It is Blake who writes. Ho says Marrables will himself be at the office to-day —a rare event, rather; for the old man seldom goes to business now. No • I will go to-day." Then, noting on inquiring look upon her taco, lie adds, carelessly : " Its about same old claim or other. I don t quite understand it." " You have not opened Mr Cochiano's letter yet." "ByJovo! No, I had forgotten, it," '

And so he opens his third letter; from which, as he unfolds it, a couple of news paper cuttings fall out. " What have wo here,l wonder?" But at the first printed words which meet his eye, his face flushes darkly. lie crushes them in his hand : glances through the letter ; thrusts them all together into bis pocket; and, rising hastily, says :— " Don't ask me about Cochrane's letter Winifred—at least not now. It's all about town talk and club scandals—neither amusiog nor edifying." " I don't care in the least for town talk or club scandals," replies Lady Brackenbury, smiling ; " and I never desire to know any. thing that you would rather not tell me. Am I not the best of wives ?" " The best in the world !—but then you have the best of husbands," "I know, at all events, that I have a husband who never keeps a real secret from mo." Then Lancelot rings for Church— the same grave and reverend Church—and sends word round to the stables that he will have " Duchess May " saddled immediately. His shortest way to Singleton lies under The Ridge, past Abel Brunt's cottage, and through those same green lanes in which Winifred met Lettice Leigh the day after old Mis» Langtrey was buried. How all' things have changed since then 1 The cottage, no longer a ruin, is a comfortable dwelling,inhabited by one of the Bracken bury gamekeepers ; and Abel Brunt's ghost is as dead aa himself. Lettice Leigh has taken Joan's place at Langtrey Grange, where Bridget (now very old and infirm) reigns with undivided sway as housekeeper and caro-takcr, " Little Sam," a strapping lad of sixteen, 19 in Lancelot's service as a stable-help at the Court; and Joan married to the Danebridge blacksmith, is the mother of seven sturdy boys and girls. But Lancelot ia thinking of his letters, and not of the flight of time ; and presently, when he comes to the green lanes, he lets "Duchess May "drop into a walk, while he reads them all agaiD, First come the two from Mr Blake. Ho. I. "Singleton, May 1, 18—. "Dear Lord Brackenbury, ; ■ "Mr Marrables requests me to say that ho would be glad to confer with you upon a matter of business when con venient. He would have the pleasure of waitiog upon you, but that the business, he conceives, will be better discussed at our oilice. If you will kindly name an early day, my partner will come into Singleton to meet you. " lam, dear Lord Brackenbury, " Yours faithfnlly, " Gilbert .Blake. " To Lord Brackrnbury. No. 11. " JSingleton, May 1, 18—. "Dear Lord Brackenbtjry." .. "Since I wrote you this morning, I have received the enclosed communication from Messrs. Fawcett, Clarke, and Fawcett. As the matter to which Mr Marrables had proposed to draw your attention seems to be assuming graver proportions, I think it would be well if you could favour us with a viait to-morrow, the 2nd inst. In the hope that it may be convenient to you to come over here, Mr Marrables will be at the office between 11 a.m. and 3 p.m. "We regret being obliged to break so delicate a matter to you by letter ; having fully intended to reserve the disclosure of the business in hand for a ' viva voce' ex planation, '• 1 may add that, although we had heard some singular reports, and knew that Messrs. Fawcett, Clarke, and Fawcett were busying themselves in the matter, this is the first direct communication we have received from the firm. "I am, my dear Lord Brackenbury, " Youra faithfully, Gilbert Blake. " To Lord Brackenbury." "Singleton, May I,lß—. " Dear Sirs, "We have received instructions to address to you, as solicitors to the Brackenbury family, a communication which will doubtless be a matter of as much surprise to you as in fact the circumstances caused to ourselves when we received instructions in the matter. The disappearance and supposed death of Cuth bert Lord Bracken bury seventeen years ago have now been accepted for so long a1 time that at first eight we could hardly credit what we are now in a position to announce to you as a matter of certainty namely, that he is ahvp and in England. The documentary evidence which he has placed in our hands, (comprising various letters from Miss Winifred Savage), to whom his lordship was formerly engaged in marriage, letters from his steward, his brother, and various friends ; besides a large number of hotel-bills, memoranda, and other papers of great importance, including an inventory of certain diamonds, &c, &c.) places his identity beyond doubt; and we therefore submit the proposal we are instructed to make before his brother through you with every confidence that it will be accep ted. " "We have to explain in the first instance that Lord Brackenbury's object is not to disturb the existing arrangements. At the time when ho was supposed to have fallen into the hands of brigands, he had in fact taken steps to indulge his taste for a wandering life, and has since that time been travelling in different parts of the world. He had purchased some valuable diamonds'shortly before the time of his disappareance ; and upon the proceeds of this purchase he has been living up to. the present time. "We are instructed to address this communication to your client in a friendly spirit, and although our client is in a posi tion if he pleased to claim his estate and dignities, he wishes us to convey to you the assurance that such is not his intention. As, however, he has expended during his travels the greater portion of the money which lie derived from the sale of the diamonds, he finds himself in need of fur ther supplies, and is reluctantly obliged to apply to his brother for a portion of the property of which he mieht if he thought well, claim the whole. We are instructed therefore to inform you that if your client will place £25,000 at his brother's disposal, that sum will meet all his needs; and having received it, he will disturb him no further. " You will of course accept this letter as without prejudice in case the proposal we have made is not accepted. . : " We are, dear Sirs, " Yonrs truly, "Fawcett, Clarke, and Fawcett. " To Messrs. Marrableg ard Blake." So much for Mr Blake's let cers, and for the astounding communicatit ii of Fawcett, Clarke, and Fawcett. This_ last he read twice over, and each time with more pain and more wonder. Then he goes through Cochrane's note once more. " Imperator Club, May 1, 18— " My dear Brackenbury, ; " I have been thinking of writing to you for the last week , but though! have twice taken up my pen to do so I have twice laid it down again—not knowing, in truth, how to put the thing I wanted to gay. To-day, however, my attention having been called to a paragraph in ' The Court Herald ' (which I enclose), I feel I should be wanting in my duty as a friend if I kept silence any longer. JThe ' Tocsin' Cutting appeared some few days ago., " As those concerned are always the last to hear reports of this kind, I conclude you know nothing about these ridiculous rumours which I am sorry to eay,have been flying about town for the last ten days or so. I would suggest your writing a few lines at once (for publication) to the editor of ' The Court Herald.' As for the 'Tocsin' it is such a scurrilous print, and so little read in decent society, that it would perhaps be better left unnoticed. " I am truly sorry, my dear friend; to be such a disagreeable correspondent, but I thought you ought to know what is going on. " Ever yours, " Horace Cochranf. "lo the Lord Brackenbury, " P.S.—Cuttings enclosed" :— From ' The Court Herald, May 1, 18 "It is coufideutly rumoured that Lord B y> whose extraordinary disappearance under very suspicious circumstances was the talk of Europe some seventeen years ago, has re-appeared to claim his title and estates. The claim is likely to be disputed : and Lord By ha*, we understand, put his case into 'the hands of an eminent (north country) legal firm." From 'The Tocsin,' April 20, 18 — " Another chapter is a boat to bo added to the Komauce of the Peerage. Lord Brackeubury, who was lost on the Eiveruv with £30,000 worth of diamonds about his person on the 18th of April, 18-, proves to have been, alter all, neither robbed nor murdered. Yielding to an ill-regulated taste for 'a nomadic life, ho has, it would appear, spent his time and his money in wandering 'from Indus to the Pole -'but, weary of this vagabond existence, is shortly about to resume his place in society That place, however, has for many years been filled by the present peer, his lord ships brother and heir presumptive, who will hardly vacato it without a struggle. The lawyers, it is said, arc making active preparations on both sides." (To lc continued on Wednesday.)

A TnuK Stohv.—A palo, thin, and anxious looking man went into a druggist's shop in Queon-etroot, aid told the chemist tho story of his troublos. Ho was a auiloror from a chronic chost complaint, which indictod him with many sleoplrss nights, owing to tho inconant congh. His chest foil tight aid constructed in broatliing and tho tenacious phlegm waa a continual sourco of annoyanceandirritatlon. Ho feared ho was consumptive, and that there was not much to bo dono, as ho had triod everything: how over, as a last resource he would try Aickin's Svnui1 or Kijcalyitus, with Hvroriios i'iiitks of Limk Ann Quinine. Having pro cured a bottle, tho chsmirt advised him to show it to his medical man. as it was not a quack remedy, but purely a pharmeo-utical prepara tion of great valuo. In addition', ho shouid adhoro to small doses of puro cod liver oil, which could bo taken at tho samo time as the Wucalyptus and Hypophosphites. A fortnight passed, and the same palo, delicate-looking man roturncd to tho shop in Queen-street, and asked for bia friend tho chomist. Tho Invalid then re counted, with a bright oye and hopeful face, the cffufcfß of tho wonderful medicino. " I Boon found tho worrying phlegm becomo more liquid, and expectoration was quite free, conßO uviit'y 1 was relievod from the dreadful cough, I feel so thankful I can now sleop at nights During tho day I fool a mountain lifted off my chest, nnd I can eat heartily and relish my food, which 1 could never do before," Do you think it possible this improvement would havo taken plnco in ordinary courso without the medicine?—" Certainly not," the invalid replied, '•I had suffered too long for that; howover, I Bhall tako two bottles more, and roport to you further." About n fortnight sinco the eaino person called upon tho chemist. Ho waß no locgor pale nor careworn; a tinge of healthy red had returned to the pale features of the now con valosc.iut patient. Ho had merely to say, "I havo called to toll you that I oonsldor your modlcino (tho Kucalyptns with Hypophojphites) has saved my life I feel I am getting hotter rapidly, and I should tell you that although I havo had remedies proscribed for me in Sydney, Melbourne, and other places, nothing relievod mo until I got your medicino.
