CHAPTER XXVT

MR. QCBST HAS HIS E»ffBn3&

All that afternoon and far into the evening Mr. Quest was employed in drafting, and with his own band engrossing on parchment certain deeds, to the proper execution of wliich be seemed to find constant reference Decennary to a tin box of papers labeled "Honham Castle Estate*."

By li that night everything was finished, and, having carefully ooilected and docketed fete papers, be put tbe tin box away and went hf-m" to bed.

Next morning, pbout 10 o'clock, Edward 'Coney wag sitting at breakfast in no happy frame of mind. He had gone up to the castle to dinner oil the previous evening, but it cannot be said that be had enjoyed himself. Ida !«af there, looking Tory handaowu in her ••evening dress, but wa oold as a stoiie and unapproachable as a statue. She scarcely iflpoke to him, indeed, except in answer to some direct remark, reserving all her conversation for her father, who seemed to bar* caught the contagion of roatraiut, aud was, .for him, unusually silent and doprtwsed. ®ut once or twice be found bar looking at 'him, tuid theu there was upon her face a mingled expression of contempt and irrepressible avonion which chilled him to the marrow.

Those qualities toward him were indeed so much more plainly developed than they had been before, that at last a conviction which •1h had at first rejected as incredible, forced itself into his mind. That oonviction was, that Belle must have disbelieved his denial of £be engagement, and in her eagerness for revenge have told Ida the whole story. The thought made him feel faint, but there was Intone thing to be done, and that was to face it out Once when the squire's back was turned be ventured to attempt some little tenderness in which the word "dear" occurred, but Ida did not seem to hear it, and looked straight over his head into space, and this be felt was trying. So trying did he Jlnd the whole entertainment indeed, that .about half past 9 be rose and cs mo away, saying that he had some bauk papers which must be attended to that night.

Now most men would in all human probar ability have been dismayed by this state of .affairs into relinquishing an attempt at matrimony which it was evident could only be carried through in the face of the quiet but none the lees vigorous dislike and contempt of the other contracting party. But this was not so with Edward Cossey. Ida's coldness -exercised upon his tenacious and obstinate Blind much the same effect that may bo supposed to bo produced upon the benighted seeker for tho north pole by a frozen ocean of icebergs. Like the explorer, he was convinced that if bo oould got over those cold and frowning heights ha would find a smiling and sunny land beyond, and perchance many other delights, and like the explorer again, be was, metaphorically, ready to liu in tho effort. For to tell the truth, he loved her snore every day, till now his passion domisated his physical being aud his mental judgment, so that whatever loss was entailed, whatever obstacles arose, he was determined to endure and overcoino them if by so doing Jbe might gain his ond.

He was reflecting upon all this on the morning in question, when Mr. Queut, looking very «xol and composed and gentleman like, was shown iuto bis room, much as CoL Quaritch Jfead been shown in two mornings before. "How do you do, Quest/* he said, in a from fcigh to low kind of tone, which ho was in the habit of adopting toward his official subordinates.

down. What is itf

"It is some business, Mr. Cossey," the lawyer answered iu his usual quiet tones. "Honham castle mortgages again, I suppose," growled ha. "I only hope you dont want any more money on that account at present, that's all, bscaus^.1 cant raise an* other oent whils the governor lives, for they «ion't entail cash aud bank shares, you know and, though my credit's pretty good, I am asot far from the bottom of it* "Well," said Mr. Que»t, with a faint smile, **it has to do with the Honham castle mortgages, but as I have a good deal to say perhaps we had better wait till the things are cleared away." "All right Just ring the ball, will you, and take a cJ garotte

Mr. Quest smiled again and rang the bell, Outdid not take the cigarette. When the breakfast things bad been removed ho took m. chair, and, placing it on the further side of the table in such a position that tho light, which was to his back, struck full upon Edward CosseyHi face, commenced to deliberately untie aud sort his bundle of papers. Presently he came to the one he wanted—a letter. It was not an original letter, but a «opy. "Will you kindly, read this, Mr. Cosseyf* 1M said quietly, as he pushed the letter toward Mm across the table.

Edward finished lighting his cigarette, and then took the latter up and glanced at it carelessly. At the first line, however, ihs expression changed to one of absolute horror, his face blanched, the perspiration sprang out 4ipon his forehead, and the cigarette dropped from his fingers to the carpet, where it lay smoldering. Ami no wonder, for the latter was a eopy of one of Belle's most passionate apistles to himself. He had never been able to restrain her from writing these compromising letters. Indeed, this one wan the very MUDM that, some time before, Mr. Quest had Abstracted from the pocket of his lounging -coat in the soom in London.

He read on for a Ifttle way and then put the letter down upon the table. There was no need for him to go on, it was all in the jName strain. "You will observe, Mr. Coney, that this is -m copy,** said Mr. Quest "but if you like you ean inspect the original document"

He made no answer. "Now," went on Mr. Quest, handing him a •croud paper, "i*ore ie the copy of another letter, of which the original is in your handwriting."

Edward glanced at It It was an inter--cegfted letter of his own, dated about a year IMTOM, and its contents, though not of so pa» «knate a nature as the other, were still of a anffickmtly incriminating character.

Be put it down upon the table by the side of the first, and waited tor Mr. Quest to go on. "1 have other evidence* said his visitor prmati j\ "but you art probably suflkwoUy wned in each matter* to know that these V"WES alone are alr*^ '"«agfc for a$R pure, which is to cot ------i.~»M«Ikftor4lfa«ro» against my wife, in which you will, of course, in Mvurxiaaee with the vist the act, be *hwd asco-rw?K8*fc. £:s, I la*** already drawn up a letter of Isattnr:. a to my LoK&sn agent* din--:* tbe preliminary steps, a_i )*p*r toward him. wnnl Cawyter-,.-: r» and, raitim i' sd to tbi&k, f'Mr, 9m*?M* to

In the first place, there is no knowing what view your would take of the matter, and bow his view would affect your future interests, and in the second, your engagement to de la Molle, upon which your heart is so strongly set, would certainly be broken off."

"I do know it, so it will be uselea for you to deny it As you remark, this suit will probably ha your ruin in every way, aiMl theref or* it is, as you will easily understand, a good for a man who wants his revwage to ohoow) to bring it" "Wi'J-. -i'. .wltaitting anything," answered Edward U**ey, "1 wish to ask you a question.

"At what price will you agree to stay the action forwerf* he asked. ',The price that I will take to stay the action is tho transfer into my noma of the mortgagee you hold over the Honham castle estates," answered Mr. Quest, quietly. "Great heavens!" said Edward, "why, that is a matter of thirty thousand pounds!" "I know it is, and I know also that it is worth your whilo to pay thirty thousand pounds to save yourself from tho scandal, the chance of disinheritance, and the certainty of tho loss of the woman whom you want to

marry

So well do I know it that I have

prepared the necessary deeds for your signature, and here they are. Listen, sir," he went on, sternly "refuse to accept my terms and by to-night's poet I shall send this letter of instruction. Also I shall send to Mr. Cossey, senior, aud to Mr. de la Molle copies of these two precious epistles," and he pointed to the incriminating documents, "aud a copy of the lottcr to my agents dud where will you be then? Consent, aud I will bind mysolf not to proceed in any way or form. Now, moke your choice." "But I cannot even if I will, I cannot," said be, almost wringing his hands in his perplexity. "It was on conditiou of my taking up thoso mortgages that Ida consented to become engaged to ma, and I have promised that I will cancel them on our wedding. Will you not take money instead I" "Yes," answered Mr. Quest, "I would take monoy. A little time ago I would not have taken it because I wanted that property, but I have changed my ideas. But as you yourBeif said, your credit is strained to the utmost, and while your father is alivo you will not find it possible to rai*d another thirty thousand pounds. Besides, if this matter is to be settled at all it must be settled now. I will not wait while you make attempts to raise tho money." "But about the mortgages? I promised to keep them. What shall I say to Ida!" "Say! Say nothing. You can meet them if you liko after your father's death. Refuse if you like, but if you refuse you will bo mad. Thirty thousand pounds will be nothing to you, but exposure will be ruin. Have you made up your mind? You must take my offer or leave it Sign the documents, and I will put the originals of these two letters into your bauds refuse, and I will take my steps."

Edward Cossey thought for a moment, and then said: "I will sign. Let me see the papers."

Mr. Quest turned aside to bide the expression of triumph which flitted across his face and then banded him the deeds. They were elaborately drawn, for he ras a skillful legal draughtsman, quite as skillful as many a legal chancery conveyancer, but the substance of them was that the mortgages were transferred to him by the said Edward Cossey in and for tho consideration that be, thesaid William M. Quest, consented to abandon forever a peuding action for divorce against bis wife, Belle Quest, whereto the said Edward Cossoy was to be joined as oo-respondent. "You will observe," said Mr. Quest, "that if you attempt to contest the validity of this assignment, which you certainly could not do with any prospect of success, the attempt will recoil upon your o*n head, because the whole scandal will then transpire. We shall require some witnesses, so, with your permission, I will ring the bell and ask the landlady and your servant to step up. Thsy need know nothing of the oontents of the papers," and he did so. "Stop," said Edward presently. "Where are the original totters!" "Here," answered Mr. Quest, producing them from an inner pocket, and showing them to him from a distance. "When tike landlady comes up, I will give them to her to hold in this envelope, directing her to band them to you when tho deeds are signed and witnessed. She will only think that it is part of the ceremony."

Presently the man servant ud the landlady arrived, and Mr. Quest, in his most matter of fact way, explained to them that they were required to witness some documents, and at the same time handed the letters to the woman, saying that she was to give them to Mr. Oooey when they had all done signing.

Then Edward Ooaey signed, and, placing his on the familiar wafer, delivered the various documents as his act and deed, and the witnesses, with much preparation and effort, affixed their awkwani signatures In

agreed to marry him came to nothing. Moreover, she was thereby released from her promise, and he was wall aware that under these circumstances she would certainly fc£ sak off tbe engagement In the seoond, be would be acting a lie, and the lie would sooner or later be discovered, and what then? Well, if it was after marriage, what would it matter? To a woman of gentle birth there is only one thing more irretrievable than marriage, and that is death. Anyhow, he had suffered so much for the sake of this woman that be did not mean to give her up now. He must meet tbe mortgages after marriage, that was all.

Facilisest descensus Averni. When a man of the character of Edward Cossey, or indeed of any character, allows bis passions to imui him into a oourse of deceit, he does not find it easy to check his wild career. From dishonor to dishonor shall he go till at length, in due season, be reaps as he has sown.

CHAPTER XXVIL

HOW OSOBGE TREATED JOBSmX. Some two or three days before the scene described in the last chapter the faithful George had suddenly announced his desire to visit London. "Whatj" the squire, in astonishment, for George had never been known to go out of his own county before. "Why, what on earth are you going to do in London?" "Well, squire," answered his retainer, looking marvelously knowing, "I don't rightly know, but there's a cheap train goes up to this hers exhibition on Tuesday morning, and comes back on tbe Thursday evening. Ten shillings both ways, thatfs the fare, and I see in The Chronicle, I do, that there's a wonderful show of these new fangled self tying and delivering reapers, sich as they use over sea in America, and I'm rarely fell on seeing them, and having holiday look round London town. So as there ain't not northing partioler a-doing, if you hain't got anything to say agin it, I think I'll go, squire." "All right," said the squire "are you going to tako your wife with you?" "Why, no, squire I said that I wanted to go for a holiday, and that aint no holiday to take the old missus, too," and George chuckled in a manner that evidently meant volumes.

And so it came to pass that on the afternoon of the day of the transfer of the mortgages from Edward Cossey to Mr. Quest the great George found himself wandering vaguely about th'o vast expanse of tho Coliuderies, and not enjoying himself in the least He had been recommended by some traveled individual in Boisinghom to a certain lodging near Liverpool street station, which he found with the help of a friendly porter. Thence he sat out for the exhibition, but, being of a prudent mind, thought that he would do well to save his money and walk the distance. So he walked and walkod till be was tired, and than, after an earnest consultation with a policeman, be took a 'bus, which an hour later landed him—at the Royal Oak. His further adventures we need not pursue suffice it to say that, having started from his lodgings at 3, it was past 7 o'clock at night when he finally reached the exhibition, more thoroughly wearied than though he had done a good.day's harvesting.

Hero ho wandered for a whilo in continual dread of having his pocket picked, seeking reaping machines and discovering none, till ut length be found himself in the gardens, where the electric light display was in full swing. Soon woarying of this, for it was a cold, damp night, bo made a difficult path to a buffet insido the building, where ho sat down at a little table and devoured some vwy unpleasant looking cold beef. Here slumber overcomo him, for bis weariueus was great, and ho dozed.

Presently, through the muffled roar and hum of voices, which echoed in his sleep dulled ears, be caught the sound of a familiar narno, which awoke him, up "all of a heap," as ho afterward said. The name of "Quest" Without moving his body he opened his eyes. At tbe very next tahlo to his own wore seated two people, a man and a woman. Ho looked at the latter first She was clad in yellow, and was very tall and thin and fierco looking so fierce lookiag that George involuntarily jerked his head back, and brought it with painful force in contact with the wall. It was the Tiger herself, and her companion was the coarse, dreadful looking man called Johnnie, whom she had stnt away in the cab on the night of Mr. Quest's visit "Oh," Johnnie was saying, "so Quest is the covey's name, is it, and ho lives in a city called Boisinghom, does he? Is he an oof bird?" (rich). "Rather," answered the Tiger, "if only one can make tho dollars trickle, but he's a nasty, mean boy, ha is. Look here, not a oent, not a stiver have I got to bless myself with, and I daren't ask him for any more not till January. And how am I going to live till January? I got the sack from the Music hall last weak because I was a bit jolly, and old Thompson, the conductor, wanted to drop 10 per cent on my salary because he said I didnt draw as I used to, and that I was getting old and qgly. So I just caught him one with the handle of my brollie that made him see stars, and the beast had aoe up for assault, and it was forty shillings and costs. And now I cant get another billet any way, and Pro got a bill of sale over tbe furniture, and l'vo sold all my jewels down to my ticker, or at least most of them, and there's that brute," and bar voice roee to a subdued scream, "living like a fighting cock and rolling in 'oof while his poor wife is left to starve" 'Wife.' Oh, yes, we kaow all about that," the gentleman called Johnnie.

A look of doubt and cunning passed across the woman's faco. Evidently she feared that she said too muoh. "Well, it's as good a nana as another,1* she •»id_ "Oh, dont I wish that oould get a grip of him I'd wring him," and she twisted her long, bony hands as washerwoman do when they wring a oloCh.

minutes the thing was dona, and Mr. Quest was a richer man by thirty thousand pounds than wfeen he had got up that morning. "Now give Mr. Ooesey the packet, Mra. Jeffries," he said, as be blotted the signatures, "and then ywu can go," and she did so and went

George watched him go and then looked again at the lady, whose appearance sesmsd to fascinate Mm

Thus ruminated George, who, he ft dbenrrad, waa no facft, and who had a hearty dislike nn rust of Mr. Quest While he iwai win ow he was to go to work, an 'Iwsex 1«f rtonRyoccecrrH TfceTlger bad i!r.,«hM i-.-r tflHHtr ^ittadwaa to leave w.. tho waiter swooped ttt *'Ma. 3(s

"Come, none of that," said the waller "I want a shilling for the brandy afld soda." "A shilling, do you? Then you'll have to want, you cheating, white faced rascal, you my friend paid you before be went away." "Oh, we've had too much of that game," said the waiter, beckoning to a constable, to whom in spite qf tbe "fair EdithiaV vary vigorous and pointed protestations he went on to give her in charge, for it appeared that she had only twopence about her. This was George's opportunity, and he interfered. "I think, marm,n he said, "that the fat gent with you.was a-plnying of a little game. He only pretended to pay the waiter." "Playing a little game, was heP gasped the infuriated Tiger. "If I dont play a little game on' him when I get a chance my name knot Edith d'Auhigne, the nasty mean beast -the" "Permit me, marm," said George, putting a chilling on the table, which the waiter took and went away. "1 cant bear to see a real ladylike you in "difficulty." "Well, you area gentleman, you are," she said. "Not at all, marm. That's my way. And now, marm, wont you have another?"

No objection was raised by the lady, who had another, with the result that she became, if not exactly tipsy, at any rate not far off it

Shortly after this the building was cleared, and George found himself standing in Exhibition road with the vcoman on bis arm. .. "You're going to give me a lift home, aint youf" she said. "Yes, marm, for sure I am," said George, sighing as he thought of the cab fare.

Accordingly they got into a hansom, and Mrs. d'Aubigne having given the address in Pimlico, of which George instantly made a note, they started. "Come in and have a drink," she said, when they arrived, and accordingly he paid the cab—half a crown it cost him—and was ushered by the woman with a simper into the gilded drawing room.

Here ths Tiger had another brandy and soda, after which George thought she was about in a fit state for him to prosecute his inquiries. "Wonderful place this London, marm I niver was up here afore, and had no idea that I should find folks so friendly. As I was a-saying to my friend Laryer Quest, down at Boisinghom, yesterday" "Halloo, what's that?" she said. "Do you know the old man?" "If you mean Laryer Quest why in course I do, and Mrs. Quest too. Ah 1 she's a pretty one, she is."

Here tho lady burst into a flood of incoherent abuse which tired her so much that she had a fourth brandy and soda George mixed it for her, and he fnixed it strong. "Is he rich?" she asked, as she put down the glass. "What! Laryer Quest? Well, 1 should say that be is about the warmest man in our part of the cotTnty." "Aud here I am starving," burst out the horrible woman, with a flood of drunken teass. "Starving, without a shilling to pay for a cab or a drink, while my wedded husband lives in luxury with another woman. You tall him that I wont stand you tell him that if bo don't find a 'thou.' pretty quick I'll let him know the reason why." "I don't quite Understand, marm," said George "there's a lady down in Boisingham as is tbe real Mrs. Quest" "It's a lie!" she shrieked, "it's a lie! He married me before he married her. I could hpve him in the dock to-morrow, and I would, too, if I wasnt afraid of him, and that's a fact" "Come, marm, come," said George^ "draw it mild from that tap." "You wont believe mew wont youf" said the woman, on whom the liquor was now beginning to take its full affect "than I'll show you," and she staggered to a desk, unlocked it, and took fnxn it a folded paper, which she opened.

It was a marriage license, or purported so to be but George, who was not too quick at his reading, bad only time to note the name Quest, and the church, St Bartholomew's, Hackney, when she snatched it away from him and locked it up again.

It totu a marriage license.

HThert," she said, "it isn't any business of yours. What right have you to come prying into the affairs of a poor lone woman?" And she sat down upon tin sofa beside him, threw her long arm round his neck, rested her painted faco upon his shoulder, and began to weep tho tears of intoxication. "Well, blow me!" said George to himself, 'If this aint a master one! I wonder what my old missus would aay if die saw me in this fix. I say, marm"

But at that moment tho door opened, and in came Johnnie, who had evidently also been employing the interval in refrcahiag hi—rif, for he rolled like a ship in a sea. "Wall," he said, "and who the deuce |re you? Come, get out of this, you Method/, parsoo faced clod hopper, you. Rsirest what means this?"

By this tims the fairest Edithia had WUlssd who bar visitor was, and the trick whereby he had left her to pay fertile brandy and soda recurring to her mind, she sprang up lid began to expi ess her opinion at Johnnie In violent aad libelous languaga. He replied in appropriate terms, as, according to the newspaper reports, people whose healths are proposed always do, aad fast and furious grew the fun. At length, bowever.it seemed to occur to Johnnie that be, George, was ia eome way responsible for this state of affairs, for without word or^warning be hit him on the oose—which proved too ranch for Ctoorgcfo Chsistian forbears nee "You would, you fat lubber, would yoaf" hettid. abdsn-umrat him.

How, Johnnie was big aad fat, hut Johnnie was rather drank, and George wasutough sad exceedingly strong. In almost:a time than It takes to write iis ha grasped the abominable iofaqsJe by the soraffof the neck, and had with a mighty jsrik hauled hhn over the sofa so that he lay fare downward tli on.

He yelled and swore and struggled iu the grip of the sturdy countryman, but it was of no use, the ash same down like fate never was a Johnnie so bastinadoed before. "Give it tbe brute, give it him," shrilled the fair Edithia, bethinking her of her wrongs, and he did till he was tired. "Now, Johnnie," he said at last "I'm thinking I've pretty well whacked you to dead. Perhaps you'll tie more careful how you handle your betters by and by," and seizing his hat he ran down the stairs without seeing anybody, and, slipping into the street, crossed over and listened.

They were at it again. Seeing her oUemy prostrate, the Tiger had fallen on him, apparently with the fire irons, to judge from the noise. 'r\

Just then a policeman come up. "I say, governor," said George, "the folk in that there house with the red pillars do fare to be a-murdering of each other."

The policeman listened to the din and then made for the house, and, profiting by his absence, George retreated as fast as he could, his melancholy countenance shining with a sober i- [7b be \Ji4r
