Oh, how trustfully the brown eyes of Violet turner, to the Sason blue eyes of Kenneth. How his heart quivered with a mighty pain, that this wart not bis wife's faco turned to him with aucb intense conti derice.

"Oh, Violet," said Keith, with a deep wgh, "yon know that all my heart and service are yonrs, only yonrs, for ever." " Kenneth, whan 1 feel desolate and alone, I think of you—that.

CHAPTER LXXIV,

"*'HAT TS THE STRONOBST PART OF THU

1 EVIDENCE?"

Sir Bogeb Parsckr, the most famous phyeioiaD of his time, had summoned a competent nurse from London for the Earl °f Leigh, and agreed that unless called back by a telegrram, he would remain for »ome days at the Towers,

"Your husband must have had some long. continued uneasiness aod trouble, "•»ch ha? preyod on hie strength, and h&» anally reached a crisis, which has induced wodency to brain fever," aaid the phystclaD to Violet.

, Lord fetgb ha? beeD nervous and ex citable for some timo, and at pre*enb there '« some trouble with Colonel aarting.on "outtha estate,"said Violet, guardedly. "1 cannot understand all about it, but tbe »«in«e is in the hande of his lawyers, and «ie other day, finding himself increasingly «nwell, he authorised me to act lor him, or wcuro some friend to tako his place in the m«ter, and i havedoneeo ... •Ihen it only remains for us to keep him "wirely quiet, and, if you will pardon me, n«m«Bt be kept from opium and brandy : to?• Dts or nar(;ot'Cß are very dangerous •tafe"' l Wißfa t0 Set nim lnto ° oormal

,1 It.*' 1' tr* a"d oarry o»t your orders," •aid Viou*. faintly, '• and so will Adam, if you will explain to Mm. J, think Adam is, after ail, tna one wbo can do the most." Sir Koget regards the yoang countess clossly. He remembered her as a vary young fascinating bride ; and he had never forgotten the ominous occurrences of her wedding.day, and her sudden exhibition of indignant aversion shown to Lord Leigh. He found her now, a woman gentle", quiet, grave, b wonderful p at hos in the lovely brown eyes, an earnestness for good ies? and duty shining in all her words and action* ; a mother passionately devoted to her child, a wife faithfully ac curate in her duties . and yet otill «o child like, co winsome, so beseeching in look and tone, that she teemed rather one who should be carefully sheltered from the troubles of life than called on to eudure or battle with them.

It was evident to the shrewd physician that her married life bad been a most un happy one; her eyes, when turned on keigb, had an anxious, troubled, timid look that pained Sir Roger's kindly nature. The look was a revelation of the bitter sorrow of hsr heart.

By the assiduous carei of Sir Roger, Lord Leigh becama much better, and after a week the famous man went away and left the patient to the tamily physician near the Towers.

Violet was too frail and too inusb occu pied with the needed attendance on her child to perform the active duties of a nuree, or remain with the sick man at night, but eho sat with him much during the day, reading to him, if he would allow it, sing, ing soUIy alike to him and the infant on her lap,.talking of indifferent things, as ehe embroidered a little drens for Rupert, or eouaetim^s sat silent beside him for hours as he lay in a half slumber.

" WheH is Hartington coming to take possession ?" he aeked, abruptly, one day after one of these long interval* of quiot. " I don't think ho it coining at all," said Violet.

" Why not ? What has happened ?" "Nothing yet: but yonr lawyers are doing tuelt beet, and Lord Keith Is, at my .equeat, acting ia your behalf, to defend you «nd Kupert in your own. Lord Keith baa gone to Ireland to investigate with Mr Storm* ; they arc there now."

•• Keith ia a good fellow," said Leigh. " I wonder that you are always *o offish to him, Violet. You always avoid him, and yet you absolutely wont to him for a favour."

" because I knew he could and would help us."

" He's a strong fellow, Keith, Pity he was not hore in my place. Violet; ho would do far better for yon and the boy thAn ever 1 should, child. Sometimes I feel very sorry tor you,"

" Get well, and be active and happy, and useful, and there will be no regret for any of us," «aid Violet, her face and throat crimsoned by Leigh's carious words about Keith.

But this quiet and penitent mood did not last. Leigh became restless and craving for brandy and opium. Warned by Sir Roger Parker, the nurse, Violet, and Adam refuted bis demands for theee dangerous in dulgences. Poor Violet was even obliged to warn the servants that their lord was nob himself, and orders for stimulants must not be obeyed. Denials were followed by furi ous invectives, threats, or long lapses into sullenoeea.

Violbt hardly knew that summer suns were shining,, and the lone, gorgeous pro cession ot the summer flowers was pairing by. She measured her days only by nor sorrows, and a cloud, dark and cold, lowered over tbe household at the Towers.

Meanwhile Lord Keith had seen tbe firm of Storms and Kpston, and had explained that he was to interest himself with them in proving the validity of tho title of his brother peer* He also called upon Colonel Hartington. " I shall spare no pains and no money, by nil legal means, to press and prove my right," said the colonel. "I feel that.l bavo been defrauded of estates and title by the son of a base adventuress."

" I have not the least doubt," said Lady Clare. " that the late person, calling herself tbe Countess Leigh, knew all the time that her marriaee was invalid."

"it she did, having a baronet at stake, and ber child's future to think of, ehe would haee been legally remarried as aooo as Kemp died," said Lord Keith. "She thought it would never be found out," said Lady Clare.

11 For my part 1 believe all parties were Ipnorant of the invalidity of the contract," said the colonel. "I am sorry for Leigh. 1 never liked him, but L rdmlt this will be rery hard upon him, especially aa it forever ban-bis child and all hisdescendantsfromtbe earldom for ever. Still I must look to my *ell, and I shall hasten all action, and as soon as a decision is made in my favour, I shall take possession of the Towers." " I bave already leased our bouse in Port man square, and we are looking for a tenant for this little box, for we shall never come bore after we receive our rights in the Leigh residences, "said Lady Clnro. This change will be very hard on your cousin," said Keith. '•'Yea. Violet will 6nd that it does not pay to marry a man fpr his title. Now I married an untitlsd man, and hi will succeed to a peerage." , "So virtue had its own reward, said Keith, sarcastically. " 1 suppose we are little likely to meet Violet in society next eeaaon," eaid Lady Jlare, with a toss of her hausbty head. No. not next 3eason, nor for after seasons, %i Lady Clare and Violet meet in the dazz- Ing gayeties of London life. Every day Lord Keith was at the office of iho lawyers. *• I know," he said," that this b v falßO claim. We must show it to be kbe." " Let us try the effect of a high bribe to Kemp," said Storms, " Never Il' cried lord Keith, indignantly. " What do you »can, Mr Storms ? Shall we compound a Mony ! I feel assured in my soulthat Lord Jeigb's title is a sound one. • Tbis thing imat be thoroughly sifted. There «h»ll be ft bribea and no silence, That little Child a fortune shall be fnlly assured." '•My lord,I.' said Mr Storme, "what I osun was to try the temper of these wtnosses by an offer. If I saw the effect oi a high offer upon them, 1 could read tb motives of their present action; and if 1 reached the inspiring motive, 1 should bsoiore likely to be able to trace up tne «tps by which they reached this re mrkably well-planned attack on Lord You think there is a strong chain of evJence? "

'Very strong, my lord." 'And what is its strongest part?" 'Undoubtedly the certificate of the PDSiciao, regarding the apparent death, •inctbe months lived thereafter." ' 'And what is the weakest part of the evince V . 'The grave-digger is a coarse, low felly, who might have been bribed. Stab* and Epston keep him well in hand. U w once could convict him of falsehood we night break down the rest of the case'

CHAPTER LXXV,

'I WARN rotJ I'TOC MOVE TO BCIS 1" VvHic, these days and weeke while tbe lawyig were mutually preparing for the content o f <• Leigh versus Hartington, Helepaope wae living at tbe hotel of the Goldo) Cross, Strand. Kemp remained a* the ty ref in Chancery Lane, but his in fatuate for Helen grew hourly, and ho was cojtantly going to visit her, or insist lnß o ftakiDg her to ride or walk, or lor trips Oithe Tbamea steamers. Helena* ip » -favor of an rest: despair, re^enif rage, remorse, contended in her tool, Hcfeo submitted te going about frith

Kemp because any company was better to her than solitude, any speech was preferable to the horror oi her own thoughts. She heard that Lord Leigh was lying at tho point oi death in brain fever, and accusing taeraelf ot his condition, %he made up bar mind to fling herself from London Bridge if she heard of his death.

Knmp was constantly buying rich pre sents for Helen, and whenever she admired anything, he promised to give it to her as soon as they were married. . For reasons of bis own, ho dreaded tho progress of the comiDg caao of " Leigh verms Hartingtan, and again and aeain he passionately be sought Helen to marry him at once, setting out for Australia, and destroying before they left all the pieces of evidence in their hands.

But do persuasions, no lover's vows, no bribes, would lure Helen Hope from her deadly purpose. In fact, Kemp was the object of her abhorrence, and she never in tended to fulfil her contract of marriage with him ; he -was to bo forsaken as Boon as be bad nocompliahed her purpose of vengeance. A less infatuated suitor than Kemp would have perceived this.

"I assure you," said Mr Storms, one morning, to Lord Keith, " that the weak, ness of that plea of acting for honesty and justice is clearly visible. It is not for honesty's Bake that this singular pair have their evidence to the colonel. I have been inclined to think ib is money they wish after all. I doubt if the man is a§ rich as they say,"

" But Colonel Hartington and his lawyers would not stoop to bribery, or purchasing evidence."

"No., But there is an ulteripr motive, and that motive I wißh to get at. Tho pair are on tbeir guard the very minute they see me or my shadow."' " "I will go and see them myself," said Koith.

That afternoon Kemp and Helen were just about to go out for a walk in Hyde Park when Lord Keith was announced.

He was struck with Helen's appearance. "I feel sure I have seen you before," he said.

" Yea, you have. You were at Bewie. I saw you often with Mrs Kemp." "Really:' But I am not acquainted with any Mrs Kemp," " Catling herself Countess of Leigh," eaid Helen, emphatically. " Oh, tho Countess of Leigh ! Yes, 1 am a friend of hers."

'• And it ia for ber sake, in some way, I suppose, that you call upon me ?" "Not merely for her sake, but for the sake of many. I have from boyhood known Lord Leigh. I am fond of his little ton. As a peer of England, 1 regret to see the honour of an ancient family impugned. As a man, 1 regret to see people going wrong, moving on n disastrous way. I see here, in Mr Kemp, a man who, by years of industry, hua accumulated a handsome fortune, and who has the respect of his friends in Aus tralia. 1 regret to see such a man enter upon a scheme that may, and no doubt will utterly ruin him. You, Misa Hope, are one whom 1 should with sorrow see a ruined woman, a convicted criminal. I come to day to warn you of the probable outcome of this suit. Will you accept my warn ing i" " We rely upon the law, which protects English witnesses in the statement of truth," said Helen, "We found put facts, and we made them known to the right parties. We fear nothing." Keith turned to Kemp. "Do you reflect'what you may do? If you are fearles« for yourself, do you consider that you are betraying tbte.lady to a terrible doom ?"

" What?" cried Kemp, flashing crinnon ami leaping to his feat. " What ?" "To transportation !" said Keith, calmly, "for ten, fifteen, or twenty years, or for life, according to the'plswure of the judge.' Your case being aggravated, for U/e pro bably. " " What in fury do you mean ?" shrieked Kemp. " What crime do you charge on me ? We can prove all that we gay." " You will be ill off if you cannot. The crime I refer to is forgery." " Do not try to frighten us," eaid Helen, advancing between the paling Kotnp and Keith. " The pride of the sham counteaa and sham earl shall be laid bff. We defy yon, Lord Keith !" At this instant Keith was called from the room to see Mr Storm*, the lawyer. •'.I followed you here," he said, " to tell you that 1 have discovered that money is not this man's object. ' He has twenty thousand invested in three per coots. Also, I approached him through a third party, and ho utterly refuses to sell out. I think the instigator is the woman ; and if that is co, be sure there U some old story between her and Leigh, and jealousy and revenge are driving her. Tbe^fact is, there is a «trong collusion between three witnesses •»■ the man, the woman. And the grave dizger. The stonecutter is a slow, honest fellow, and we can get at the bottom of hia case, I have no doubt."

" Did you carry oat your effort at bribery with the woman ?" asked Lord Keith, curiously. " I'll own I did. I sent a man from Scotland Yard, and the woman won't cell out. Ho says ?he fights for vengeance. She rejected bis offers with fury and scorn. They are not to be caught in that trap." •' lam glad of it. Keally, Mr Storms, 1 prefer to win the case by clear open deal ing." ••Well, 'all's fair in love or war1 or in a detective," said Mr Storms, with a laugh, ac he turned away. Lord Keith returned toward the private parlour where he had left Miss Hope and Kemp. Be had ever a light step, and as he reached the door, he saw that the latch had not caught, and that a single touch of his finger would set it open. Instinctively he las his fore finger on the panel, apd to the gentle pressure the docgr p.wung wide. Kemp and Helen were standing in a window, their backs to the room, and Keith who was quick «f hearing, heard Kemp say . "Helen, consider! For myself I fear nothing, but for you I fear all. I will pro mise you anything, everything, if you will agree to drop all this and come with me." " Yon promised me vengeance, and I will have that or nothing," laid Helen, turning on him like fury, " But consider what he said. Can you, in your proud beauty, be placed at the prisoner's bar, transported like a felon 1" "It will never happen if you do not cowardly fail me" . •'lt is not feur for myself^-" began Kemp. " And I," at all risTc, resolve to follow—" Helen turned, and saw Lord Keith in the doorway. She paled.* "Are you listening, Sir Peer!" ohe cried, with fury. " A lordly act, truly I Well, now, you understand me. This case is no made case, it is no fiction, but it Ib not simple frankness and desire of honest jus tice that induced us to go to Lord Leigh called Hartington. No! for me, it was love of vengeance. I thirst for vengeance as a tiger thirats for blcod ! I have vowed it, and I will have it! 1 hav6 sold my soul to obtain vengeance, and am I going back at » word I hate the so-called Lord Leigh. I hate that sham little countess, with the brown ruffled oair, and the blushes and thedimple*'" " Who might, have had you convicted of f°lony when, in disguise, you penetrated her house and rifled her papers, and who forgave you," said Lard Keith. '•Who theo knaw nay power, and dared not contend with me !" "I warn you, you move to ruin," raid Keith, firmly- !.. . -,' " And I warn you that I have Bet my prioe as vengeance, bitter and irretrievable, and I will have my prico !"
