IVlien lie had packed off Burnley, he got back into his hiding-place, and only just in time, for Hone came back again upon the wings of love, and Grace, whose elastic nature had revived, saw him coming, and came out to meet him. Hope scolded her gently; wliy had she got off tin' sofa when repose was so necessary for her? "You are mistaken, dear father.” said she. “I am wonderfully strong and healthy; I never fainted away in my life, and my mind will not let me rest at piesent—I have been longing so for uiv father.” “Ali, precious word!” murmured Hone. “Keep saying that word to me. htrling. Oh. the years that 1 have pined
for it!”
“Dear father, we will make up for all those years. Oh. papa, let us not part jgain. ne\er, never, not evrn fora day.” “My child, we never will. What am l say ;ng? I shall have to give you back to one who has a stronger claim than I
—to your husband.”
“My husband?” said Mary, turning
pale.
“Yes,” said Hope; “for you know yon have a husband. Oh. I heard a few words there before I interfered; but it is not to me you'll say 'J don't know. 1 That was good enough for Bartley and a lot of strangers. Come, Grace, dear, take my aim; have no concealments from me. Trust to a father's intinite love, even if you have been imprudent or betrayed; but that's a thing 1 shall never believe except from your lips. Take a turn with me, mv cliild. since you cannot lie down and rest; a little air. and gentle movement on your father's arm. and close to your father's heart, will be the next best thing for you.” Then they walked i" and fro like
lovers.
“Why, Grace, my child.” said he, “of course I understand it all. No doubt you promised to keep your marriage secret, or had some powerful reason for withholding it from strangers; and. indeed. why should you reveal such a secret to insolence or to mere curiosity. But you will tell the truth to me, your father and your best friend; you will
tell me you are a wife.”
“Father.” said Mary, trembling, and her eyes roved as if she was looking out
for the means of (light.
Hope saw this look, and it made him sick at heart, for he had lived too long, and observed too keenly, not to know that innocence and purity are dangers, and are more often protected bx the safeguards of society than by them-
selves.
“Oh. my child,” said he. “anything is better than this suspense; why do you not answer me? Why do you torture me? Are you Walter Clifford's wife?” Mary began to pant and sob. “Oh papa, have patience with me. You do not know the danger. Wait till he comes back. I dare not; 1 cannot.” “Then, by Heaven, he shall!” He dropped her arm, and his countenance became terrible. She clung to him directly. “No. no; wait till I have seen him. He will be back this very evening. Do not judge hastily; and oh. papa, as you love your child, do not act rashly.” “I shall act lirmly,” was Hope's linn reply. “You have come from a sham father to a real one, and you will be protected as well as loved. This lover lias forbidden you to confide in your father (he did not know that 1 was youi father, but that makes no difference); it looks very ugly, and if he has wronged you he shall do you justice, or 1 will have his life.” “Oh, papa.” screamed Mary, “his life? Why. mine is bound up with it.” “I fear so,” said Hope. "But what's our life to us without our honor, especially to a woman? He istlie true Cain that destroys a pure virgin.” Then he put both his hands on her shoulder, and said.“Look at me, Grace.” She looked at him full with e\Vs as brave as a lion's and as gentle as a ga-
zelle's.
In a moment his senses enlightened him beyond the power of circumstances to deceive. “It's a lie.” said he; “men are always lying and circumstances deceiving; there is no blush of shame upon these cheeks, no sin nor frailty in these pure eyes. You are his wife.” “I am!” cried (trace, unable to resist
anv longer.
‘‘Thank God!” cried Hope, and father and daughter were locked that moment
in a tender embrace
“Yes, papa, you shall know all. and then I shall have to fall on mv knees and ask you not to punish one 1 love— foi a fault committed years ago. You will have pity on us both. Walter and I were married at the altar, and I am his wife in the eyes of Heaven. But. oh. papa, I fear I am not his lawful
wife.
"Not bis lawful wife, ehild! Why.
what nonsense!”
“I would to Heaven it was; but this morning I learned for the first time that he had been married before. Ob, it was years ago; but she is alive.” “Impossible: He could not be so
I I ■
“Papa.” said Mary, very gravely, “1 have seen the certificate.” “The certificate!” said Hope, in d'smay. “What certificate?” “Of the Registry Office. It was shown me by a gentleman she sent expressly to warn me; she had no idea that Walter and I were married, but she bad heard somehow of our courtship, i try to thank her. and I tried, and always will, to save him from a prison and liis family from disgrace.” “And sacrifice yourself?” cried Hope, in agony. "I luxe him.” said Mary, “and you must : ’. are him." “1 will have justice for my child."
Grace was in such terror leather fath er should punish Walter that she beg ffed him to consider whether in sacrificing herself she reallv had not been unintentionally wise. AVhat could she gain by publishing that she had married another woman's husband? “I have lost mv husband,” said she. "but I have found my father. Oh. take me away and let me rest my broken heart upon Tours far from all who know me. Every wound seems to he cured in this world, and if time won't cure this my wound, even with my father's help, the grave
Oh, misery!” cried Hope; “do I 1 such words as these from my child entering upon life and all its joys?” “Hush, papa,” said Grace; “then that man. That man was Mr. Bartley. He 1< cd very much distressed, and procee at once to express his penitence.
CHAPTER XIX. A WOMAN OUTWITS TWO MEN. “Oh. Mary, what can I say! I was simply mad- stung into fury by that foul-mouthed rutfiuu. Mary, fani deeply sorry, and thoroughly ashamed of my violence and my cruelty, and 1 implore you to think of the very many nappy years we have spent togethei without an angry word—not that you ever deserved one. Let us silence all comments; return to me as the head of my house and theheiressof my fortune; you will bind Mr. Hopeto mestill more strongly; he shall be my partner, and lie will not be so selfish as to ruin yoiu future.” “Ay,” said Hope, “that's the specious argument you tempted me with twelve years ago. But she was a helpless ehild then; she is a woman now. and can decide for herself. As for me, I will not be your partner. 1 have a small royalty on your coal, and that is enough for me; but Grace shall do as sbe pleases. My child, will you go to the brilliant future that his wealth can secure you. or share my modest independence, which will need all my love to brighten it? Think before you'answer; your own future life depends upon yourself.” \Vitli this he turned his hack and walked for some distance very stoutly, then leaned upon the palings with his back toward Grace; but even a back can speak, and the young lady looked at him and her eyes'lilled; then she turned them toward Hartley, and those clear eyes dried as if the fire in the heart had scorched them. “In the first place, sir.” said she. with a cold and cutting voice, verv unusual toiler, “mv name is not Mary, it is Grace; and be assured of this, if there was not another roof in all the world to shelter me. if I was helpless, friendless, and fatherless. 1 would die in the nearest ditch rather than set mv foot in the house from which 1 wasthrust out with shame and insult such as no lady ever yet forgave. But. thank Heaven, I am not at your mercy at all. He to whom nature has drawn me all these years is my father— Oh. papa, come to me; is it for you to stand aloof? It is into your hands', with all tin* trust and love you have earned so well from your poor Grace, I give m\ love, my veneration, and my heart arid soul forever.” Then she filing herself panting on his bosom, and lie cried over her. The next moment he led her to the house, where lie made her promise to repose now after thisfresh trial: and, indeed, he would have followed her. hut Bartley implored him so piteously for the sake of old times not to refuse him one word more, that he relented so far as to come out to him, though he felt it was a waste of
time.
He said, “Mr. Bartley, it's no use; nothing can undo this morning’s work; our paths lie apart. From something Walter Clifford let fall one day, I suspect he is the person you robbed, and induced me to roll, of a large fortune." “Well, what is he to von? Have pity upon me; be silent, and name your owu price.” “Wrong Walter Clifford with inyeyes open? He is the last man in the world that I would wrong in money matters. I have got a stern account against him, and I will begin it by sprakingthetruth and giving linn back his own.” Here the interview was interrupted bv an honest miner, one dim Perkins. He came in hurriedly, and. like people of that class, thrust everybody else's business out of his way. "You are wanted at the mine, Mr. Hope. The slurring of the old works is giving way, and there's a deal of water collecting in another part.” “I’ll come at once.” said Hope; “the men’s lives must not he endangered. Have the cage ready.” Jim walked
•way.
Hope turned to Bartley.
“Pray understand. Mr. Baitley. that this is my last visit to your mine.” “One moment. Hope.'* cried Bartley, in despair. “We have been friends so long, surely you owe me something." “Well, then. I'll make you rich forlife if you will but let Mary return to me amt only just be silent; speak neither forme nor against me; surely that is not much for an old friend to ask. What
is your answer?”
“That 1 will speak the truth, anil keen my conscience and my child.” Tins answer literally crusheil Bartley. His knees knocked together; he leaned against the palings sick at heart. He saw that Colonel ('lilford would extort not only Walter's legacy, but what the lawyers call the mesne profits, that is to say. the interest and the various proceeds from the fraud during fourteen
y ears.
Whilst he was in this condition ot bodily collapse and mental horror, a cold, cynical voice dropped icicles, so to
speak, into his ear.
“In a fix. governor, eh? The girl won't cenie back, and Hope won’t he!.!
hi.T iollgUc.”
Bartley looked round in amazement, and saw the cadaverous face and diabolical sneer of Leonard Monekton. Fourteen years and evil passions had furrowed that bloodless cheek; but their was no mistaking the man. It was a surprise to Bartleyto see him there.and be spoken to by a knave who had tried to rob him; but be wa^ loo fall of hi.immediate trouble to think much ot minor things. “What do you know about it?" said lie. roughly. “I'll tell you.” said Monekton. coollv. He then walked in a most leisurely way to the gate that led into the meadow. whose eastern boundary was Hope's quickest hedge,and became in thesame leisurelv way up to Mr. Bart lev. and leaned his back, with his hands behind him. with perfect effrontery, against the palings. “1 know all.” said he. “I overheard you in your office fourteen years ago. when you changed children with Hope.” Bartley uttered an exclamation of dismay. “And I’ve been hovering about here all day. and watched the little game,and now I am fly, and no mistake. Bartley threw up hishands in dismay. "Then it s all over; I am doubly ruined. I cannot hope to silence you both.” “Don't speak so loud, governor.” “Why not?” said Bartley;“others will, if I don't.” He lowered his voice for all that, and wondered what was coming. “Listen to me.” said Monekton, exchanging his cynical manner fora quiet and weighty one. Bartley began to wonder and look at film witli a sort of awe. The words now dropped out of Monekton’s thin lips as if they were chips of granite, so full of meaning was every syllable; and Bartley fell [t. "It's not so bad as it looks. There are only two men that know you are a felon.” Bartley winced visibly. “Now one of those men is to be bought”—Bartley lifted his head with a faint gleam of hope at that—“and the other—has gum' down a coal mine.” “What good "•;!! that do me' 1 '”

-was never—to come up

“No such luck.” said Bartley, shaking
his head sorrowfully.
‘Luck?” said Monekton, contemptuously; “we make our own luck. Do you see that vagabond lying under the tree?
That's Ben Burnley.”
‘Ah!” said Bartley; “the ruffian Hope
discharged.”
"The same, and a man that is burn log to be revenged on him. lie's your luck. Mr. Bartley. I know the man,and what he lias done in a mine before to-day.” Then he drew near to Bartley's'ear, and hissed into it these fearful words: “Send him down the mine; promise him five hundred pounds if William Hope—never comes up again—and Wil-
liam Hope never will.” Hartley diew buck aghast. “Assassination!” lie cried; and by generous impulse of horror he half tied from the tempter. But Monekton followed him up. and laid his hand upon liisshoulder. “Hush,” said he; “you are getting too near that window, and it isopen. Let me see there's nobody inside.” He looked in. There was nobody. Grace was up-stairs, but it did so happen that she came into the room soon
after.
'Nothing of the kind. Accident. Accidents will happen in mines, and talking of luck, tills mine was declared dangerous this very day.” “No, no!” groaned Bartley, trembling in every limb, "it's a horrible crime; I dare not risk it.” 'It is but risk. The alternative is certain. You will be indicted for fraud by the Cliffords.” Bartley groaned. “They'll live in your home, they'll revel in your money, while you wear S> cropped head—and a convict dress—in a stone cell at Portland.” ■‘No, never!” screamed Bartley. “Man,
man. you are tempting me to my perdi-
tion."'
I am saving you. Just consider— where is the risk? It is only an accident, and who will suspect you? Men don’t ruin their own mines. Here just
let me call him.”
Bartley made a faint gesture to forbid it. but Monekton pretended to take
that as an assent.
“Hy. Ben,” he cried, “come here.” “Nb.no!” cried Bartley; “I’ll have
nothing to do with him.”
“Well,” said Monekton. “then don't, hut hear what he has got to sav; he'll tell you how easily accidents liappen
in a mine.”
Then Burnley came in. but stood at some distance. Bartley turned his back upon them both, and edged away from them a little; but Monekton stood between the two men,determined to bring
Hu-ni together.
"Ben,” said he. “Mr. Bartley takes you on again at my request; no thanks to
Mr. Hope.”
"No, curse him; 1 know that.”
“Talking of that. Ben. how was itthat you got rid of that troublesome over-
seer in the Welsh colliery?”
Ben started and looked aghast fora moment, but soon recovered himself, and told his tale of blood, w ith a strange mixture of satisfaction ami awe. washing his hands in the air nervously all
the time.
“Well, you sec. sir. we put some guncotton in a small canister, with a fuse cut to lust four minutes, and hid it in one of the old workings the men had left; then they telt t‘ overseer they thowt t' water was coming in by quickly. He got there just in time; and w hat with t’ explosion, fire-damp, and fallen coal, we never saw C overseer again.” “Dear me,” said Monekton; “and Mr. Hope lias gone down the mine expressly to inspect old workings. Is it not a strange coincidence? Now. if such an
“She's mad. she's mad; help! to secure a mad woman.” This terrified Grace Hope. She had read of the villainies that had been done under cover of that accusation, which, indeed, has too often prevented honest men from interfering with deeds of lawless violence. But she had all her w its about her, woman's wit included. She let them drag her past the cottage door. Then she cried out with delight. “Ah! here is my father.” They followed the direction of her eve, and relaxed their grasp. Instantly she drew her hands vigorously dow nward, got clear of them, gave them each a furious push that sent them flying forw ard, then darted back through the open door, closed it, and bolted it inside just as Monekton, recovering himself, quickly dashed furiously
against it—in vain.
The quick-witted villain saw the pressing danger in a moment. "To the hack door, or we are lost!” he yelled. Bartley dashed round to that door with a
crV of d ismay.
But Grace'was before him just half a minute. She ran through the house. Alas! the infernal door was secure. The woman had locked it when she went out. Grace came flying back to the front, and drew the bolt softly. But as she did so she heard a hammering, and found the door was fast. Unluckily Hope's tool basket was on the win-dow-ledge, and Monekton drove aheavy nail obliquely through the bottom of the door, and it was immovable. Then Grace slipped with cat-like step to the window, and had her hand on the sill to vault clean out into the road; she was perfectly capable, it being one of her ealisthe'nic exercises. But here again her watchful enemy encountered her. He raised his hammer as if to strike her hand—‘though perhaps he might not have gone that length—but she was a woman, and drew hack at that cruel gesture. Instantly he closed the outside shutters; he didn't trouble about lie window, but these out fide shutters he proceeded to nail up; and.usthetrap was now complete, lie took bis time, Did by a natural reaction from his fears, he permitted himself to exult a little. “Thank you, Mr. Hope, for the use if your tools.” (Rat-tat.) "There, my ittle bird, you're caged.” (Rat-tat-tat.) ‘Dkl you really think” (rat-tat “two nan" rat-tat -tat •w < re to lx beaten 1 ij

She lied tied two crimson curtains together by a useful knot, which is calk d at eoa ii fisherman's bend; fastened one end to the bed or something, and she wascoming down this extemporized rope hand over hand alternately with as mm b ease and grace as if she was walking down marlde steps. Monekton flung his arm and body w ildly over Hie paling, and grabbed her finger-ends. She gave a spang witli her heels against the wall, and took a bold leap away from him into a tulip bed ten feet distant at least.

Bartley made no reply; the perspiration was pouring down Tils face, and he looked a picture of abject guilt and ter-
ror.
Monekton looked at him, and decided for him. He went softly, like a cat. to Ben Burnley, and said. If an accident does occur, and that man never comes up again, you are to have five hundred pounds.” "Five hundred pounds!” shouted Ben. “I’ll do t'job. Nay. nay. but,” said he —and his countenance fell—“they will not let me go down the mine.” The diabolical agent went cat-like to Bartley. “Please give me a written order to let this man go to workagain intho mine.” Bartley trembled and hesitated, but at last took out his pocket-book, and wrote on a leaf: “Take Burnley on again. R. Bartley.” Whilst writing it his hand shook, and win n it was written he would not tear it out. He panted and quivered, and was as pale as ashes, and said. “No. no, it's a death-warrant: I cannot;” and h.s trembling hand tried to convey the note-hook back to his pocket, but it fell from his shaking fingers, and Monekton took it up. and quietly tore the leaf out. and took it across to Burnley', in spite of a feeble gesture the struggling wretch made to detain Idin.
