CHAPTER XXXII. TR[IE RETURN HOME.

Thus I jhave pieced together the arrative which my cousin retailed to |ae in littile episodes, lingering, as l/omen wiul, on details which seemed 'rival in themselves, but which, when Carefully criticized, were full of sigleaning. Lost in astonish1 indignation, I heard till (-when the whole of George villiany was apparent.

My ex]

Jjerience of the world was as

the readSr knows, most rudimentary I knew njext to nothing of its viler passions] still less of its great crimes, That any human being calling himeelf a m^rt could be capable of coldblooded treachery to a woman whom he promised to love was almost increditaqle to me I had heard of such things, but they had appeared to me always in the nature of romance. ^But if I was aghast at the record of Oeorge Redruth's evil doing, I was no less amazed at Annie's extraordinary patience under wrongs so mon«trous. The man had deserved no mercy.

I said as much, in bitter enough language but Annie only wept, and shook her head. "Bad as he has been to me, I am sure he has a kind heart and oh! Hugh, I loved him so much. And he used to love me, I am sure, till Miss Graham came between us." "You say that you went through a ceremony of marriage?" I said. "Annie, I believe you are his wife after all!"

In the sight of God I am. But, Hugh dear, if it had been a real marriage he would never dare to wed again." "Such a scoundrel would dare anything," I cried fiercely. "It is well Vou came to me, for there is yet time. He shall do you justice! If he refuses to do so, I will teach him such )a lesson that he will never again dare 4o hold his head up before the world!"

If the truth must be told, Annie's story, painful and terrible as it was, brought me a certain sense of relief. If it were true—and how could I doubt it, coming to me with such sad assurance of truthful tears and protestations?—surely Madeline would never consent to marry the author of Such mischief. Whatever happened, she must know the truth without delay and, all other means failing, she Should hear it from my own lips. Yes, face to face with the man who was to be her husband, I would warn her of his unworthiness not, alas, in any hope that his overthrow could ever be my gain, but purely in the •wish to save her from future misery and degradation. If, after having been assured of the truth, she still persisted in the union, she would do so with her eyes open, and I—I ehould have done my duty. Such a ingency, however, was scarcely

Liong after Annie had told me everything she had to tell, John Rudd came in and joined us. He had,

Boubtless, prolonged his absence, knowing that we had much to say to each other. When I told him that it was my intention to return to St. fcrurlott's with my cousin he seemed astonished but made no remark nor Aid Annie herself, though I saw that she was terrified at what might ensue, offer any objection.

Leaving them in the cottage to

fartake

of some simple refreshment,

walked down to interview Lord 's solicitor and fortunately found him at home. I informed him that domestic circumstances necessitated my return to St. Gurlott's for several days, and that, in the event of his refusing to give me leave of absence I shoi'ld simply throw up the situation. I saw he did not wish to lose me, and rather than do so he assented to my departure, making me promise, however, to return as soon as possible.

Early in the afternoon we left G-wendovey in the country cart, John ttudd driving and I seated by Annie's 6ide. On reaching Torborne I was eager to push on home at once, and Succeeded in hiring at the inn a gig and fast-trotting horse. So we said good-bye to our friend the carrier, (whose wagon was waiting for him in (the town, and and who^e business •would lead him next morning Falmouthwards, and after nightfall turned our faces to the west.

It was a long journey traveling nearly all night at the rate of seven •pr eight miles an hour, we did not Sight the old village till it was almost daybreak. We said little on the way our hearts were too fnil for much talk, but now and again I questioned my cousin about the past, and every piece of information I elicited showed me more and more that George Red-

Euth

deserved no mercy. All that I eard, too, implicated the murdered man, Johnson, in the infamous plot for Annie's ruin. Well, he had paid the penalty of his guilt—terribly, swiftly, and unexpectedly and it was some comfort, at least, to know that, although he was not the main mover In the business, he had to a certain extent deserved his fate. #f

Though yet dark, someone had risen in the cottage, for there was a light in the window. I jumped to the igrouud, helped Annie down, and paid the driver, who walked his horse off in the direction of the village. "Annie," I said, as we paused at the cottage gate, "whatever happens, ire must keep this from your father. For his sake, and for his sake only, we must act very cautiously. Do you .understand?" "Vis, Hugh," she answered.^ Alas' she understood little or nothing^ of what was really passing in my mind I 'tjhe door was unfastened for inlock and key were in little re

quest at St. Gurlott's, which was peopled with honest folk. We walked in, and, entering the kitchen, saw my uncle in his shirt sleeves, reading the fight of a candle. I glanced

by at

the book before him it was the old Bible, with his own name, his wife's, and Annie's with the dates of marriage and of birth on the fly-leaf.

We entered, but he did not look up. A pOor scholar, he was spelling his way through a chapter, and muttering the words aloud. But when I drew nearer and spoke to him, he started up with a cry, pale as death, with the sweat standing in great beads upon his wrinkled brow. "Who be thar?" he cried. "Help!" "What,don't you know me?" I said forcing a laugh. "It is I, Hugh Trelawney, and Annie, your daughter." "Hugh! Annie!" he repeated,draw, mg his hand nervouslv across his lips. "Why, saw it be! Whvdid 'eecoom upon me so sudden liker I did not see 'ee. Annie my lass, I thought you were away at Gwendovey, wi' your cousin. What brings 'ee home saw soon?"

Annie and I exchanged looks, and, after a warning movement of the eyebrows, I replied. "Oh, it's simple enough. I was a bit home sick, and was going to run over when Annie turned up. I hope you're glad to see me, uncle? I sure I am to see you."

I held out my hand, and he grasped it warmly. "Glad enough, I reckon. Why I ha' missed 'ee as if you ha' been gawn a year." He added, seeing my gazed rest on the open book before him, "I were reading a bit, my lad, when you come in, for I were restless like, and couldn't sleep. Your aunt's abed,and sound as a tawp, I warrant."

As he spoke, he closed the page nervously, as if fearing that we should see what portion of the book he had been reading. Annie stooped over him and kissed him tenderly: he looked up with a faint smile, and patted her cheek. "Hugh, my lad." he said ly, "I wish you had never mine." "Why, uncle?" "New overseer be a chap fro' Wales and naw manner o' good. All he thinks o' is to save money for the company, and he don't go down hissen once ase'nnight. Naw the place be wuss than ever. Out alawang to the blue gallery, the sea is safe to come in some o' the days." "I always said so, I returned. "It's an infernal shame that nothing has been done." "Saw it be, lad. I spoke to Measter Jarge about it ..ast neet, and he ha' promised to take a last look before he gaugs away. I says to him, says I, "I dawn't care for mysen. but I'm afeard for the men,Meast Jarge, and I hope summat will be done." He were kind-spoken, as civil as he allays is, though some folk dawn't like 'un.'

This was a gentle hint to me. Knowing what I did, and how cruelly my uncle's simplicity had been imposed upon, I could hardly refrain from committing myself, but I thought of the possible consequences and held my tongue.

By and by my aunt came down, and we all breakfasted together, after which my uncle went off to the mine. Not till he was gone did my aunt set free her tongue, but his departure was the signal for a series of questions as to the cause of my unexpected return. The old man's mind was too full of his own troubled thoughts to have much room for conjecture always simple, he now took things as they came, in a dazed, helpless manner pitiful to behold. With my aunt it was different. With her characteristic common sense, she perceived that my coming was due to no mere attack of home-sickness, but betokened urgent business on hand.

She soon came to a natural conclusion—that I had been drawn thither by the news of the approaching marriage. 'You had better ha' stayed away,' she exclaimed. 'Tis the awld tale o' the burnt moth and the candle, lad! When Annie said she were gawing across to see thee, I were glad, thinkin' ee' might be company till each other but she took 'ee the news she should ha' kept to hersen, and nawt would please 'ee but coming where you warn't wanted.' 'Never mind, aunt,' I said, as cheerfully as possible. 'I am not going to break my heart, at all events.'

?Maybe

nawt,' sho answered 'but

you was better faraway.' As soon as possible I left the cottage to think out the situation for myself. Now that I had come home, I felt in full force the awkwardness of my position. How was I to take firm ground in Annie's name, and yet keep the truth from my uncle, the shock to whose already shattered system I so much dreaded? From every point of view, indeed, the proclamation of the truth would be a calamity and a scandal yet it must be made, for Annie's sake, for Madeline's. My only course was to proceed as cautiously as possible, first sounding the main actor in the drama and ascertaining what he had to say in his own defense. With this view I determined to go at once to Rudruth House

It was a wild, windy day, with frequent showers of rain. As I approached the avenue I heard the dreary 'sough' of the wind in the trees, and my thoughts went back when I, a boy, met George Rudruth— a boy, in that very place. Nothing was changed: the trees, the rusty gate, the quiet road, were all the same yet what dark vicissitudes had come in all those years!

I had opened the gate, and was passing in, whea a voice called me. II turned and saw nyr cousin. .She

had followed me from the cottage, with her shawl thrown over her head to protect her from the rain, which was falling heavily. 'Hugh,' she cried panting, and placing her hand on my arm, 'where are you going?' 'Up to Redruth House. It was for that I came.' 'Not to-day! Don't go to-day!' she exclaimed, trembling violently. 'I have no time to waste,'I replied 'and I must have it out at once. Go home, and leave it all to mel

I have promised to see you righted, and I will keep my word." But she still clung to me, looking piteously into my frowning fack. "If you must go, promise me—" "What?" "Promise me that you will do nothing violent, Hugh dear, he is a gentleman. Do not provoke him too much! and remember—remember— that I love him dearly." "Can you still say that, knowing how he has used you?" I answered, almost savagely. "Well, you best know your own heart: and I know mine. I came to have it out with George Redruth, and I shall not rest until we meet face to face." "Hugh, for God's sake—" "There, there, do not be afraid," I said, "but do as I tell you—go home and wait for my return. I promise you that I will be careful. If only for my uncle's sake, I wish to avoid a public scene. But ne must be made to confess, and Miss Graham must be warned."

I left her standing in the road, and looking after me as I ran rather? than walked up the dreary avenue. At the last bend, just before I passed from sight, I turned, and there she stood still, watching. I waved my hand to her before I disappeared. As I came in sight of the house, 13 endeavored to keep very calm but, in spite of the effort, my excitement grew—and no wrnder, seeing the na-i ture of my errand! But the chief cause of my emotion was the faclj that I should soon, in all probability, see Madeline Graham.

I walked boldly up to the front door and rang the bell. In a few moments the door was opened be a man servant. "Is your master at home?" I asked. "Mr. Redruth is in the drawingroom," replied the fellow. "What name shall I say?" "I will announce myself," I answered, stepping into the hall.

Having already visited the house, I knew my way. As I strode across the hall the man followed me, and tried to bar my passage but I pushed him aside. "Standout of my way," I said, and, placing my hand on the draw-ing-room door, I threw it open. The man fell back in astonishment, and I strode in.

For my own part I felt very like a savage but I was in no sense of the word master of myself. I had^ the grace, hower, to take off my hat.

I found myself in a large elegantly furnished room, looking to the south and opening on a garden terrace. To my simple, unsophisticated gaze, it was pleasant enough for a room in a palace but in my present temper I was not to be daunted, even by the presence of a king. [To be Continued.]

Didn't Care to Work.

New York Sun. Margaret Cahib had her husband, John, in the Tombs Court on charges of abandonment and non-support. The woman's face was pale and pinched and she wore an old and tattered dress, she carried a baby in her arms, which looked even weaker than its mother. "Do you work, Cahib?" asked Justice Taintor. "Work? Well, I guess not. I don't work, and I haven't got a red cent. Now, what ai-e you going to do about it? I haven't been offered work, and I'm not going around looking for it. I'm not strong enough to walk the streets all day when I know it is useless." "Well, where do you live?" asked Justice Taintor. "Your wife says you don't live with her, and don't do anything toward her support. I guess I'll have to make you give her §3 a week." "You do, eh?" was the reply. "Well, you can order all you like. I don't live with my wife, because that means double expenses. I live in a lodging house on the Bowery and shift for myself. Let her do the same. Three weeks ago I gave her some money, but she spent it all on that kid. She won't get any more, though." 'How much did you give her?" "Fifty cents—nearly all I had." "Well," said Justice Taintor, "you must give her $3 a week in the future or go to jail for six months. Which'll you do? Quick!" "I'll go to jail," said Cahib, and he went. Mrs. Cahib left the court room as badly off as when she came in.

HAVE FAITH IN SHORT-HAND. (From "One Hundred Valuable Suggestions to Short-hand Students:") "There is probably no other one thing that has caused so many people to fail in their endeavors to become reporters as a lack of confidence. Too often we hear beginners say, '1 will try it and see whether I can succeed or not." The young man or woman who, after seeing that thousands of others have made a 6uo cess of Short-hand, cannot say, 'I WILL, succeed,' had better not spend time or money upon it, or in fact, upon anything else that requires a little study and application. "To become & fair reporter is no Herculean task, demanding the work of years, and to be acquired by only a born few. •'Short-hand has been greatly improved of late years, and is based upon real scientific principles. Any one with only ordinary ability can master it and become able to write from four to six times faster than in long-hand."

ITEMS OP INTEREST.—It has been observed that the pen of the long experienced stenographer follows the speaker almost automatically. It is indeed true that the reporter can, to a certain extent, take notes while thinking of something else. Stories are told of brilliant young writers taking a nap in the middle of a speech, without losing a single word that fell from the orator's lips. Some stenographers interest them, eelves with experiments G3 to how extensive arithmetical calculations can be made while writing one hnndreds words a minute.

Many reports hare been taken entirely in the dark also by reporters who were obliged to stand, holding their note-books against the wall.

A weaned colt should be put in training as soon as it is taken from th« barn, which should be whea it is 5 oi 6 months old, says the Fort Worth (Tex.) Gazette. If the mare has been well fed while rearing the colt she will not suffer in the least from this period of milking, but the colt will gain very much by it. Before weaning the coll should be used to the halter and tied in a seperate stall when in the stable, to which it should be brought occasional* ly, even while in pasture. Here some bran and crushed oats should be given, and when weaned the ration should be increased from two quarts a day to four quarts (which will be quite safa for the growing animal) of this food, but no corn should given until the winter, when a pint to a quart may be added to the feed. Then the real training should begin. The colt should be led by the halter first then after it has been taught to lead well, a bridle with a smooth bit should be used, and aftei this has become familiar a harness made for the purpose should be put oo it, and the colt taught to draw a light cart or sled. Gradually it may be used to a saddle and to being ridden by a small boy of light weight. During all this time the colt should bo tamed and made docile by constant handling and feeding from tho hand little grain, I salt or sugar, so that it will come when called and evince no fear of the owner.
