I'.ut rharifry' brought me many J-trango rperien-y. some hittrr sorrows and a r at happiness. My childhood know no mother. .My arliest reml! ction was of a kindly 'man who (.alb-d herself my godmother. One I had asked her nl.out my real mother, and sh liad lejdiod" "Your mother, Ksther. is 7 our (Ligrae, and ou were hers." Vv hen iuy godmtiher il i 1 I was told ly Kenge arid Carboy, great Lonb n iaujrrs. that a guardian had 1 u n appointed for me and ;hat his i. nr.f was John Jarndyce; that he had been asked to rer i r into his home a ward of the chancery court, youriR lady, and that I was to be h-r companion and was to go to I'i ak House, dowr in Hertfordshire, To live. Then 'irst I nut my beautiful darling. Ada Clare, and her "h indsome distant cousin, kichard CarMone (also a. ward in the ttrriUf chancery), a Ray, unstable boy v hose love Ada soon returned alas for in the end they were married and Ulchard. chafing: the will o' the wisp of Jarndyeo and Jarndyce, passed out of the world forever. Through my guardian, a kindly, hearty gentleman nearer 0 than 50, perh;ip., I met many people of low ; rid higi decree. Of the latter were iSir Leicster Dedlock, and my Lady Jedlock. great personages in rank jnid fashion, with a. tine town-house jn London and a uprh country estate, Chrsney Wold, off in Uncolnhlre. Sir Leicester had married for love, rumor had it. a bit betiath him. But my lady showed no signs of that. She was proud. id. haughty, they said, with beauty still, not jrt in its autumn. Sir Ld ester. 2f jrarr older, was a man f worthy presence, ceremonious .nd stately. He had supreme faith in two thiius: the Mritish aristocracy ;itid Ivdy Pedlock. My lady was in Jarndyce and .laryndice throusrh Jonif almost for-j,ottf-n ancestor. One afternon in her .London mansion Mr. Tulkinghorn, ihe family lawyer, was with her in "nnection with the case. Mr. Tulkinghorn. I came to know, waa a rusty, silent man. the butler of the 1os?al cellars of the Dedlocks; grown rich out of aristocratic marriage settlements and aristocratic will.?; :.H oyster of the old school whom id.ody could open. "Who copied that?" cried my lady : uipulsively, as sho raught sight of Mme handwritinc n a lKal document before hr. "Why do you .ik?" fiueri'! tlie kren lawyer. struck by hr anirTiation and uni ual totic. "Anything to vary this '.-t-'!table monotony," she returned, i fainted. With Mr. Tulkinghorn tn wonder :. anything was to investigate it. Why had my lady nsUed about that 1 indwriting?

I had thought you dead In infancy. My cruel sister told me so." Then I felt a burst of gratitude, through all my tumult of emotion, that 1 was so changed that I could never disgrace her by any trace of likeness. But at once I knew that our secret was not safe. My mother told me of the cold and crafty Tulkinghorn, already suspicious of her and readyto charge her with the truth. "Could you not trust him?" I had asked. "I shall never try." she replied. "The dark road I have trodden for so many years will end where It will. I follow It alone to the end, wherever the end be." Soon I knew that the merciless Tulkinghorn was hot on the scent.

No. she would need ! no further escort. The next morning London rang with the news th;it the great lawyer, Mr. Tulkituchorn. the trusted solicitor of nobility. the i:npr gnable guardian of family confidences, had been found by terrified servants in his chamber in Lincoln's Inn Eields hung facp downward on the floor, shot through the heart. h. with what fear I If but then came the report that Mr. (leorge, hearty ex-soldier, who he-trd thi. newspaper a fi n e and had been heard to threaten Mr. Tulkinghorn, because the lawyer had squeezed him financially, and who had been seen at Lincoln's Inn Fields on the night of the murder, bad been arrested, charged with the crime. Hut why? The mystery was not solved, it seemed. Mr. Bucket. I for.r.d, was still on the trail of someone. Then one day Mr. Bucket told my lord that it was not the soldier who had killed Mr. Tulkinghorn. but a woman. And he went on with all the story of my mother's early disgrace with Capt. Hawdon. and how Mr. Tulkinghorn had discovered it. threatening her with exposure; how my lady had been ;?cf-n going out on the njght of the tragedy and how a veiled woman had been noticed near the lawyer's rooms at the same time. "It is my duty to tell you this," said the detective, "to prepare you for the revelation I am about to make. Others know of it. you must." Then in was brought Hortense. my lady's discharged French maid (who hated my lady and hated Mr. Tulkinghorn still more because he had refused to pay her hushmoney on account of the masquerading scene before Jo), and Mr. Bucket proved her guilty of the murder and arrested her on the spot. But they left my lord stricken with paralysis, his proud figure beaten to the earth. Next I heard that my poor mother had fled the great Tendon mansion, leaving a letter for Sir Leicester confessing her j'outhful shame, but pro testing her Innocence or the murder. "Full forgiveness: find " wrote the baronet on a slate for Mr. Bucket. Then besran the strangest chase that was ever known. Bucket came for me. and we left the inspector's office in Ixndon before 2 of the morning in a barouche with postilion and post horses. Mr. Bucket seated on tho box.
