Bl ww * CHAPTER XXL Considering his naturally indolent caseloving nature, Mr. Fulton certainly gave himself some trouble in attaining his object. lie spared no pains. If Lady Grahame went to the opera, he was sure to be seen in her box. Whatever ball or party she attended, ho was invariably present. People began to say, “If you ask Lady Grahame, you must not forget Mr. Fulton; lie is her shadow.” It so happened that just at that time Squire Grenholme, of Grenholme Park, near Oulston. died, and the greater part of his property, consisting of lands and houses in Oulston. was for sale. Mr. Fulton’s solicitors told him of it. The Hall would not be sold until the death of the squire’s widow, now old and infirm, but the other property was to be had at a great bargain. In the course of a few years, when that frail life ended, he could purchase the Hall, and would become, as Squire of Grenholme, a man of position and eminence. The opportunity was too tempting to be lost. The purchase was concluded, and Mr. Fulton found himself a largo land owner, ami possessor of numerous houses in the pretty town of Oulston; and when all was arranged he went triumphantly to Lady Grahame, to tell her what he bad done. “Yon have acted very wisely,” she said; “money is very well, but nothing gives one such a good standing as the possession of property. Did you say Oulston? Lord Bayneham’s estate is somewhere near there, is it not?” “Yes,” replied Mr. Fulton, who had carefully ascertained all the “bearings" of his new acquisition. Bayneham Castle is about six miles from the town. It is the chief place in the neighborhood, I believe.” “I should imagine so," said Lady Grahame. indifferently; "and if ever yot should purchase the Hall, Mr. Fulton, and become Squire of Grenholme, you will find them charming neighbors. The Dowager Lady Bayneham is one of my dearest friends. Her son is abroad just now." “You have so many friends. Lady Grahame!” sighed her admirer. “is the young earl married?” "Yes." replied her ladyship; “he married last year one of the loveliest girls ' in England; they are in Italy now, I be- । Heve. The young Lady Bayneham will be one of our brightest stars. 1 never met any one so exquisitely lovely, graceful and refined. Paul 1- niton, as he styled himself, rejoiced to hear all this. He saw his way clearly now; and once Squire of Grenholme, husband of the fashionable widow, and near neighbor of the young earl, lie should attain the summit of his ambition. It was at his club that Bertie Carlyon made the acquaintance of Mr. Fulton. They became friends in some degree, although there was little in common between them. Bertie was gifted, and, what is more rare, he was industrious. His works were eagerly read by the thoughtful men of the day. He was courted alike by wise men and be;?utiful women: for that Paul Fulton soujht him. He was a rising man, whom to know was a greater honor. So they dined together occasionally, met at .heir club, and discussed passing events, all unconscious of the tragic link that bound them. From Bertie Carlyon. as from Lady Grahame. Paul Fulton heard warm praises of the young lord's wife. He thought much of his neighbors who were to be when he was Squire of Grenholme. Ho was. in his indolent, lazy way, anxious to see the beautiful young countess, of whom all the world spoke, and spoke well. To Mr. Fulton Bertie confided his intense desire of entering into Parliamentary life. "The borough of Oulston returns one • member,” said Mr. Fulton, “and from all ! the rumors floating now, I should imagine t the country to be on the eve of a general i election. I had some thoughts of offering myself as a candidate, but I tell you what. Mr. Carlyon. introduce me to your friend, Lord Bayneham, and we will try if you cannot be returned as the Liberal member for Oulston. I have some influence there, you know.” Gertie Carlyon grew intimate with, and even liked, the gay, good-natured man who seemed so anxious to further his interests. CIIAPTFI? XXII. , Under the blue Italian skies where I myrtles and citrons bloom, by the fair German Rhine, by the snow-clad moun- I tains of Switzerland, and on the sunny I plains of beautiful France, Lord Bayne- i ham lingered with his young wife. He i watched the pale sweet face brighten ■ gradually. He never suspected any men- ‘ tai suffering, ami would have laughed at I the idea. He believed his wife to be suf- i faring from the effects of over-exertion | and too much excitement. Their winter : at Bayneham had been a brilliant one, i and she had been a marvelous hostess. ! He blamed himself for not having sooner i perceived her fatigue and languor; but, j in his own quiet way he was doing his i best to atone for it. During the whole year they lingered among the fairest scenes of this fair earth. They spent Christmas in Flor- < co, and the spring brought them home. Private letters and public papers brought to Lord Bayneham the news of a general election, and he knew then that his place was in England. They went at once to London, where the young earl found the leaders of his party anxiously awaiting him. New combinations were forming, great events loomed in the distance, and Lord Bayneham was asked if he had any influence 5n Oulston; if so, let him use it for the return of a Liberal member. He inquired, somewhat carelessly, if there was any candidate in the field, and h° became

all fire and interest when he heard that the man they were anxious to secure was no other than the great political writer, his dearest and best friend, Albert Carlyon. "You may consider the election as good as made,” lie said to the chief. “1 shall go down to Bayneham and take Carlyon with me. There will be but little opposition." When that interview was ended Lonl Bayneham rushed off in search of Bertie. He found him busily engaged at the office, and heartily pleased to see him. "We may hope Lady Bayneham and Miss Earle will now find their way to London,” said Bertie; “they have been at Cowes, I understand, since Christmas.” “Dine with us to-morrow,” said Ix>rd Bayneham, “and you will see them both. They will be in town this evening. Now, Bertie, let us discuss business. What is this about the borough of Oulston? You know you may safely reckon on my assistance.” Bertie then told his friend how anxious he vas to begin his Parliamentary career. ‘ fee! that my vocation is essentially a political one," he said. "I can serve my country honestly and well. Mr. Fulton, the new ir"n who has purchased Squire Grenhohr >’B property, has promised to do all he can: and I think there is every chance of success." "I am sure of it," said T.ord Bayneham, enthusiastically. “1 tell you what, Bt r tie, when the election comes on we will all go down to Bayneham together, and I will ask this friend of yours to join us. Lady Hilda and Miss Earle shall canvass for us. You will come in with a wonderful majority. You shall see if lam not a true prophet.” “You are a true friend,” said Bertie, gratefully. “I should like to introduce Mr. Fulton to you. Shall you be at the club this evening?" “I wiil be there just for that purpose, even if I cannot remain,” replied his ; friend. “You will come to-morrow, Ber 1 tie?” Trying to conceal his delight, Bertie promised, and Lord Bayneham went away. Evening brought the countess and Barbara; the hitter radiant in health and spirits. They were delighted nt the change in Hilda. She had grown more beautiful during the year of secret sorrow, and thought gave fresh lovelint ss to her face, and the dark violet eyes wore a now expression. Sho looked taller and ; more matronly, and in all England otic ' could not have found a more perfect type i cf a young English wife. “I did not think time could have added a charm. Hilda,” said Barbara Earle: “but it has managed to do so. Change of nir and scene has Improved you wonderfully." Lady Bayneham gazed with proud pleasure at h-r son's wife. Even her critical eye could not see orfb fault or one cause for remark. They were a pleasant family party, and Lord Bayneham left them after dinner to go round to his dub. Bertie introduced Mr. Fulton to him; and Lord Bayneham. uho liked all pleasant things, was struck by his gay, easy, ' graceful manner, and his flow of converse tion. "I have not many minutes this evening.” : he said. "Perhaps, Mr. Fulton, you will favor me with a call some Fme t<> morrow; then we can discuss the Oulston business at our leisure." That being settled, Lonl Bayneham • returned home. The ladles were pleased to hear of Bertie's prospects, for the ' handsome y. ang secretary was a fai uite with all. Barbara Earle made no remark; but her face flushed am! her eyes sb,..ne brightly. She looked serenely fair and ealm. That evening, win n she stood alone in her room, site took fn m a little pearl casket a small golden apple and touched it with her lips ns though it were some- ! thing living, smiling as she did so at her ‘ own pleasant tb. -lights. "1 am always coming across old I friends," said Lord Bayneham to Hilda. ' the day following. "1 met your old ad- ; mirc-r, Captain Massey, this morning; he i is leaving England in the autumn, and will dine with us to-day.” It was a party of old friends who met ' that evening in Grosvenor Square, Lady ■ ; Bayneham professed herself delighted to I ; see Bertie. Barbara said little, her greet- ; ing was kind and gentle; but that did not i satisfy the handsome secretary. Perhaps Captain Massey was less at his ease than some of the others. He had dearly loved Lady Hutton's ward, and her marriage with I.ord Bayneham had been a bitter blow to him. Not that he thought himself worthy of her. or that she ever gave him any encouragement. lie loved her hopelessly and humbly. There were times when he raved against fortune and fate, wishing ho were anything but a brave captain, with nothing but an honorable name to recommend him. After Hilda’s marriage he left London, and had just re- I turned to make arrangements for leaving England on a mission of some importance. Then Lord Bayneham mot him, and ; greeted him warmly, pressing him to | waive all ceremony and dine with him. i Captain Massey was sorely puzzled. He ’ longed to gaze upon the fair young face | that hml been the one star of his hope | I and love; he longed to see her in her own I home, surrounded by luxury and love. : Thon lie could take the picture into exile | with him, and think of it when he felt j dull and lonely. So he yielded, and went j to dinner, looking with sad eyes upon the | one face that had been all the world to I him. She welcomed him warmly and ; kindly, her little white hands outstretched ;to meet him. There was no thought of ■ love or lovers in that pure, guileless ; heart. She had never known that he i cared for her. I And this man, who had loved the fair j young girl so deeply and hopelessly, saw j what others had never noticed. He read ; the expression of that face and those | clear, true eyes more correctly than did । those who lived with her. She was even ■ more beautiful than before her marriage. ; but the beauty was changed. Thp first ] flush of youth and happiness had died I out of it, never to return. He saw some- • thing of constraint in the smiles that had ■ once seemed ever to linger round her lips. He noticed that when she was ; neither speaking nor listening an ex- ■ pression of deep thoughtfulness came over

her, and then Captain Massey said to himself that the woman he loved either had a secret or was not happy, he could not tell which. “Hilda,” said Lord Bayneham that evening to his wife, “we must be more careful this time than we were last winter; but as you arc so much stronger and better, I thought of asking a few friends to Bayneham—what do you say?” “Are you going there?" sho asked, trying to hide the fear shown both in her face and voice. 1 "Yes,” replied her husband, “we are bound this time on a patriotic expedi- 1 tion. The safety and well-being of the country demand the return of a Liberal j member for Oulston. We hope Bertie j will be successful; but he will require our I aid. No bribery, mind; they are all free | and independent voters; still what you’ and Barbara can do by the mngie/tf voice and smile may be safely accomplished.” "Does Barbara go with us?” asked Lady Hilda. "Yes,” replied Lord Bayneham, “and my mother, too. You will enjoy the canvassing. 1 must ask Bertie’s friend, Mr. Fulton, and one or two more. You do J not smile, Hilda; do you not like the pros-1 pect?” 1 “Why should I not?” she asked, calmly; 4 "if I am only with you it matters venJ little to mo in what place.” sr "And you promise to smile, with all tq fascination that you can command, uponk the noble voters of Oulston?"? “I promise,” said Lady Hilda, "SWl'wT 1 hope Bertie will get in. Do you knoVKJ Claude, 1 begin to think he cares fo® Barbara.” w "1 knew that, little wife, many yea re ago," said Lord Bayneham; “I shoulS like to know it Barbara cures for him.” ] They said no more; but all that night there lay on Lady Hilda's mind a weight ot dread, as of some coming heavy evil which she could not avert; and once in hep simp she sprang up. wildly crying,' "Claude, do not go to Bayneham. I hava dreamed that 1 lay dead there?’ CHAPTER NXIIL "Will you go with ns, Claude?” asked Lady Bayneham on the following morning. "I am goittg to take Hilda to call on Lady Grahame.” "1 s’ l mid be delighted." he replied; “but I have a gentleman Mr. Fulton coming on rather important business; 1 must therefore defer the pleasure.” For the second time Lady Hilda heard that name uttered before her, and did not : remember it. The carriage drove off. and sho sat st rend and smiling by Lady Bnyneliam’s side. They saw n tall, handHonm man go up the broad flight of steps, l but no warning came to Hilda, no impulse or instinct toL! her that he was man whose cruelty had doomed her mother to : death. "1 .am glad y m are c me. Mr. Fulton." i sai'l I. rd Baym-ham, courteously; “we ; will go.into the library, as we shall re- i ‘ quire pens and paper for our calculnj tions." Tho visitor followed his young host. Was it chance that directed Lonl Bayne- I ham there? Tho library was a grand apartment; its < hud ornament was a i magnifies nt picture hanging over the man- 1 telpiecc. It was the portrait of Lady I Hutton's ward, taken by the celebrate ; ' artist. Mr. Seaton, and vnhosl by Lord । i Bayneham nbovs- nil other treasures. Tne I summer sunbeams fell slanting v.pon j 1 lighting tho golden hair ami Iwautiful fti* ’ with n liriKht mdinnor., n to dream of, so pure, so fair and lave’r. ■ Tho violet eyes and sweet lips smiled at i : you; the tender, innocent heart, the guilci less, loving nature, swoetm constancy • i and truth, were imprinted <>n every feai ture. The sunbeam Wits not bright'r than i i the sheen of the rippling golden hair. As Mr. Fulton t utored tho library hi* I ey ( - fell upon the picture, an I it startled j i him s > mo.eh that lie uttered a low cry.. I He went up mid et od before it. He 1 asked himself was I. dr<. ming or awake. I Tiie room. Lord Bayneham, an I the pr« s- > • ent faded from him ; he stood in Bryn- ’ ' mar woods, under the cool shade of the ; green trees, the lovely face blushed at his j I passionate words, the fair young head । i drooped bem nth his e. He was th. re I wooing Mn. ialen Hurst in the opening I ■ of her fair youth and b auty. It was for i but a moment, and s urn-thing dimmed | the eyes that had long B n dry. He ; ’ started; what, was he, I’aul Fulton, senti- I ' mental? going to cry le. ause a beautiful ; picture resembled his dead wife, making' i a simpleton of himself for a painted face? i "Y- 11 admire that pniutimr," said Lord • I Bay in ham; "it is considered an exquisite i I gem of art." "11 -om e knew some one whose faco : j resemliled this," stammered the visitor. | “Indeed!" said Lord Bayneham, quiet-j j ly; "she must have been very beautiful, | j then.” "She was,” replied Mr. Fulton: mid then ! there came across him a vision of his dead i , wife's face as he had seen it last, white I and worn with the misery and anguish i of pain, deeper than detith. (To be continued.) A Moral Victory. The closing hour of the Fifty-third Congress witnessed a notable triumph for the cause of public morality, in tl.e, passage of the bill forbidding interstate traffic in lottery’ tickets. Tn the Senate at nearly half-past tw® in the morning of the last day of tl>S| session Senator Ilnar called the bill up^ at the exact moment when the subter-* fnges of the enemies of the bill were exhausted. In a few minutes tho bill was on its way to lie enrolled and signed; in an hour or two, but only a few moments : before final adjournment, it had the rresident's approval; and the long, hard light of two years -how bard only’ those who know the inner history of the matter can say—was over at last. The new law makes it an offense punishable by imprisonment or tine, or both, to bring into this country from abroad, or from one State into another, any lottery t icket, circular, or advertisement. Since the lottery companies have been denied by law the use of the mails —so far at least as regards money orders ami registered letters—they have carried on their business mainly by express, and the law is particularly aimed at this method. But as the mail is still largely used for conveying lottery matter in sealed letters, the I’ostmaster General is now authorized to refused to deliver any mail to persons known to him to be engaged in lottery business. The new law is stringent, and ft Is hoped that It will be effective., I

i ago of silver and altogether no small dogre® of enthusiasm prevailed. As early as i 0 o’clock the different ' mal ddeI gutions began holding caucuses in the I rooms of the capitol building for the purI pose of selecting coinmittcf s on credenj tials, rules, permanent organization and ! resolutions. It was after 11 o’clock when the committees concluded their work and then a stampede was made to get desirable seats. The hall was arranged in regulation gala attire, bunting and Bags being draped in reckless profusion. Over the entrance two immense Hags were draped. The galleries were tilled as soon as the doors were thrown open, a majority of the occupants being ladies. (.‘hairman Hinriehsen. now the acknowledged leader of the silver faction, scored a f 1 - I 1/ -TEMPORARY CHAIRMAN CRAWFORD. the President in the beginning of his speech opening the convention. So radically did he express himself that the gold men declared he actually read the President of the United States out of the party. This strain was a popular one. Every time a speaker censured the President the denunciation was echoed by cheers and applause from the body of the convention. Ex-Congressman William J. Bryan, of Nebraska, took up the denunciation where Hinriehsen left off and drove the conven-

tion into a frenzy of enthusiasm by heaping criticism on the head of the national administration. Nor did he stop there, for he went down the line of President Cleveland’s supporters. Gov. Altgeld followed in the same course, as did exCongressman Andrew J. Hunter. This O/ GOVERNOR ALTGELD. was the means taken to arouse tho enthu- ' siastn of the delegates, and it was successful. V .uw-ford for Temvornry Cl, „1 r „. At the close of the address Chairman Hinrichsen introduced as temporary chairman Monroe C. Crawford, of Union County, who had been recommended by the State committee. Judge Crawford made no remarks except to impress upon the delegates that their action was being watched by every person in the State. He told the delegates that if they wanted free silver to say so. and then announced that he was ready for business. Judge Kramer moved that the various congressional districts be called that the chairman might name tho delegations’ selections for the various committees. It was carried. Thompson W. McNealy, of Menard County, wanted all resolutions of a political nature referred to the committee on resolutions without reading. Thomas Merritt, of Marion County, protested. He declared that such a move would be gag law and that gag law should have no place in such a convention. Epon this show of opposition Mr. McNealy withdrew his motion. Secretary Bentley then read the list of committees as appointed by the congressional delegations. By unanimous consent Judge Henry S. Miller, of Chicago, and Andrew J. Hunter, of Paris, were added to the comm it toe on resolutions. The convention then adjourned for dinner. Tho afternoon session began work with little delay. The committee on credentials reported m> contests and rocommend-

ed that the sitting delegates bo declared the delegates of the convention. The report was adopted. The committee on rules favored those used by last summer's convention. This report was also adopted. When the committee on permanent organization reported ex-Judge S. P. McConnell as the permanent chairman, Cook County broke loose. The delegates shouted for the president of the Iroquois Club all the time that Judge Crawford was putting the ru tion to concur in the report of the committee. Ex-Congressman Nicholas E. Worthington, of Peoria County, Free P. Morris, of Iroquois, and Judge Bell, of Hamilton County, were appointed a committee to escort Judge McConnell to the chair. When he ascended the platform the umbrellas and silk hats of the Cook County men again went into the air. When the applause given the Chicago lawyer had died away Mr. Crawford introduced Mr. McConnell. Without delay he began his address to the convention. It was warmly, even enthusiastically, received. He was applauded frequently, and at times so long that the delegates lost the thread of the silver argiment which Mr. McConnell made. The convention was full of political sensations. The greatest excitement came just before the adjournment of the convention. The passionate speeches had all been made, and the Democrats, who filled every chair and the aisles of the convention hall, were ripe to indorse the action of the resolutions committee. Ex-Con-gressman George W. Fithian was chairman of the committee on resolutions. Resolutions Adopted. Mr. Fithian in a clear voice read the platform. Several times during the reading of the declaration for free coinage he was interrupted while the convention went into transports of enthusiasm. AVhen finally he pronounced the words 16 to 1 the delegates jumped from their seats and threw their hats into the air. For fully five minutes the uproar lasted. The first outburst died away only to make way for another. The resolutions adopted by the convention and read by Mr. Fithian were as follows: Whereas, Silver and gold have been the principal money metals of the world for thousands of years, and silver money Is recognized and used as honest money between individuals and between nations notwithstanding the varying ratios between silver and gold; and, Whereas, The demonetization of silver has

deprtved the people of free use and benefits of an Invaluable and original money metal and has Increased debts and added to the burdens of tha people by lowering the value of labor and labor products; and, Whereas, The Constitution oi’the United States prohibits any State from using anything but gold and silver coin as a legal tender for the payment of debts, thereby recognizing that coin composed of sliver or o-f gold Is honest money ami tit to be used as a legal tender, therefore, be It * Resolved, By the Democrats of Illinois, In convent ion assembled, that we are In favor of the use of both gold and silver as tha standard money of the United States, and demand the free and unlimited coinage of both metals at the ratio of it-; to 1. without waiting for the action ot’ any other nation, and tmit such coins shall be a legal tender for a contrl t Ot i h and Private, and that , , ?
