A Bright and Readable Romance of English Life.

The interesting History of an Opa] Ring-

CHAPTER XI.

As Fancourt left Mrs. Dulton's pate, he found himself suddenly face to face with a person who was just about to Tiny for admittance

This was a small wiry, man with a clean-shaven face, shrewd gray eyes, bushy eyebrows, and thin lips slightly upturned at the corners, giving an expression to the face as of a perpetual smile. 11 was dressed in a plain suit of black, neither very new nor very fashionably cut, and carried in his hand a blue bag. Fancourt would have passed him without notice, but for the fact of running against him at Mrs. Pulton's gat^ he took him for a lawyer's clerk, and wondered what his business might be. lie was not aware that with a sharp glance the man had photographed his exterior on his brain for any future occasion that might arise.

Kaucourt had Tittle attention to spare for HO insignificant a person. His thoughts reverted to the house he had just left, and to what he had heard and seen there. He did not doubt for a moment that it was Julie Lemont who had personated the widow lady and got possession of the ring. He ground uis teeth savagely as his determination became more fixed to get rid of this woman who was so dangerously mixed up with his affairs. To get rid of her—he did not yet tell himself by what means.

He had been struck with Lena Palton's beauty when he had met her by •chance in Alphington Park. Now that he had seen her a^ain, she had taken complete hold of his sensuous imagination and he then and there made a firm resolve to win Lena Dalton and to marTy her. An inward voice seemed to whisper to him that with her the heir to an earldom need not despair nor did he suppose the consent of the mother would be diflieult to obtain. The younger sister, he perceived, would be his enemy—but what of that? What could she do against a determined will such as his? lie clenched his hand in his delicate lemon-colored kid glove, as he swore to himself to lear sill obstacles from his path, and to crush all that stood in the way of the attainment of liis desires.

Sarah had not closed the gate when the new-comer appeared. Sarah felt that life at Ivy Cottage passed in a more secluded manner than quite suited her taste so she generally took the opportunity, when she conducted the visitor to the gate, of indulging at a peep at •the outer world. Sometimes the milkman might be passing, or a neighbor's servant visible, and thus a few minutes' chat be obtained with some one -more livelv than old Martha. So, standing with the gate open in her hand, she .also found herself race to face with the little man with the blue bag. "Is your mistress at home, my dear?" .said he, slipping in through the gate as .he spoke. "What may please to be your business?" Sarah inquired, not over well pleased with the familiarity of the address.

k'.Juct

you tell Mrs. Dalton that Mr.

"Riggs wishes to seo her. She won't !know my name, but you may tell her I •come on Lord Alphington's business," said the man.

At this name Sarah dropped a courtesy. md begging Mr. Riggs to proceed •toward the house, she hastened forward to deliver the message. "On Lord Alphington's business!'' Mrs. Dalton repeated, in surprise. "Oh, 1 do believe it's about that horrid ring again! I suppose he must come in."' She appealed to* l»ertha. "Yes, mamma—why not?" said liertha. "Ask him in, Sarah. Oh, dear, dear, we shall never hear the last of it, I do believe!'' Mrs. Dalton lamented. "I do wish, Hertha, you would cut that heavyfringe off your shawl it will be carrying off somebody's purse, or watch, or no one knows what some day. Pray come in."

This was in answer to Mr. ltiggs's "Servant, ladies," as he stood in the -doorway, his hat in his hand.

Now that his hat was removed, it was seen that he had a shiny bald head, with a fringe of close-cut, light-colored hair. He carried a blue cotton pocket handkerchief in the crown of hat. This he took out, polishing his head as he stood. "You come from Lord Alphington? Pray sit down," said Mir,. Dalton."

Mr. Riggs took a seat i:"ar the door, placing liis hat under the ohair and taking a rapid survey of the room, in the course of which every article in it was mentally catalogued." '•Yes," marm," Mr. Ricgs replied. "I'm a detective constable, and I've called to make some inquiries- about a xnissing ring, if you've objection." "NOUP whatever," Sa:'L Mrs. Dalton, in a Hurry "but I reallv can't tell you who, or "whether anybody took it. I think it much ivm-• l'VHy that it's nobody, and tluu it'-, ng here in some crevice, where gwaie^s knows who's to get at it without pulling the house down."

Mr. Riggs smiled—but then he was ahvavs smiling. "There would be little employment for us, marm, if parties who lost prop

hands on oblige me by Yelling uis as nearly as can recollect what occurred on the morning when you missed the ring?"

Each time she was called UDOU to REtail t.i« oirenmstjineHs uoor Mrs. Dal

ton uecame more conrnseu, auu icon au» to remember exactly what the lady was like or'what she said, though on each occasion she lecame more and more positive that she. was correct in every particular. She this time ended, as usual, With the assertion^hat such an agreeable, genteel woman as the widow,, lady who had called upon her would be quite incapable of takingtfte* ring. "Did any one beside yourself see this person?" Sir. Riggs asked. "No one but Sarah—that's the parlor* maid," said Mrs. Dalton. "The other servant had gone out. and Sarah and I were alone in the house—and I was so glad it wasn't a strange man I always fell Sarah never to let a strange man come through the gate when I am alone." "I should like to put a question to Sarah, marm, if you wouldn't mind," said Air. Riggs. "Oh, certainly, you can question her if ypu wish." returned Mrs. Dalton, a little huffed. "Bertha, my dear, ring the bell."

Sarah appeared so instantaneously as to suggest the idea that she could not have been much further off than in the front passage. "Sarah, this ^ood man wishes to ask you a few questions answer him as well as you can," said Mrs. Dalton, loftily, leaning back in her chair and crossing her hands, perfectly satisfied with her share of the information given.

Sarah remembered the strange lady quite well. She was tall—about tho height of Miss Lena—and her complexion was dark—rather sallow. She thought there was something queer about her. The lower part of her face did not look at all old, nor did her manner of walking, but she couldn't see her figure, because, she wore a large mantle. There was one thing she noticed as she followed her a bit of hair had got ioose under her bonnet behind, and, though the hair in front was gray, this was (iuite black, "And I thought to myself," said Sarah, "it's a many ladies I've seed wear a dark front when they have got gray hair, but this is the first I ever-seed wear a gray front when she'd got dark hair." "You're a veiy sensible girl, my dear," said Air. Riggs, when he had extracted all the information that Sarah had to give, "and I wish you a good husband." "Lor," cried Sarah, with a giggle and a toss of her head, "that's just like you men—always thinking we girls are on the lookout for a husband. Better without 'em—the most of 'em—I should say." "You may go, Sarah," said her mistress, with a reproving look and Sarah returned to the kitchen to repeat to Martha all she had heard in the parlor. "And now will you allow me to put

another question?"

sr qu is tlu

said Mr. Riggs.

•Who

at young gent who went out

of tho gate just as came in? I think I

have seen him at Thompson & Cratchit's, solicitors." "That gentleman," returned Mrs. Dalton, with an emphasis on the word,

"is Mr. Fancourt, grandson and heir to Lord Alphington." "Ah, just as I supposed," said Mr. Riggs with a sort of inward chuckle.— "Ilave you known him long? Did you know him before he assumed the name of Fancourt?" "No," Mrs. Dalton replied, thinking the man was going beyond his province in asking questions from mere curiosity, "I had never seen him before he also came to inquire about the ring." "Humph! He came to inquire about the ring, did he? Well, that was natural enough," allowed Mr. Riggs, rising from his seat and fishhig out his hat from under the chair. "Thank 'ee, marm. I don't know that I've anything else to ask just at present. I wish you good-day, ladies and with a duck of his head Mr. Riggs withdrew. "I will walk with you to the gate," said Bertha, following Mr. Riggs from the room.

She had an irrepressible desire to confide in this man some half-formed suspicion. and yet was unwilling to lay herself open to the reproaches of her mother and Lena. "I should like to tell you something I noticed about Mr. Fancourt," she said, as she walked with the detective along the path. "There was a singular hesitation in his manner when I asked him if he recognized the person in the omnibus from my description and then he said it was a man who had once been a sort of servant of his. And, when mamma told him about tho strange lady, he immediately asked if she was tall or dark, but afterward said he had made a guess at random. I may be doing Mr. Fancourt an injustice, but I cannot help thinking that he fancied he knew her, and I thought I would tell you." "Thanks, young lady," said Mr. Riggs—"every hint is useful. It is only by putting this little bit and that little bit together that we sometimes find the end of the clew. Good-day, miss."

Mr. Riggs walked away, ana Bertha returned slowly up the garden path. She felt grieved, for Lord Alphington— grieved for. the disappointment that awaited him. Was that vulgar, scamp-ish-looking man the grandson for the proofs of whose existence Lord Alphington had been longing? Was he the one destined to bear the honors of that ancient house? Alas for human hopes. Alas for the good old man, who was even then probably counting the hours till he could clasp the hand of the last scion of his line, and bid him welcome!

When Mr. Riggs left Ivy Cottage, he directed his steps to. the nearest cabstand, where he hailed a hansom, and directed the driver to a certain street leading out of Fitzroy Square. Here be discharged the cab, and knocked at the door of a house where one of the windows in the first floor had been raised, indicating its use as an artist's studio.

Having received an affirmative answer to the query as to whether Mr. St. Lawrence was at homo. Mr. Riggs ascended the stairs, and knocked at the studio door.

After receiving permission to enter, he hesitated for a few moments when he opened the door, and found St. iw rence not dropped in for every day or evening, for the two young artists were fast friends—none the less, perhaps, from the difference in their characters.

"Come in, Riggs," said St. Lawrence. "This is my friend, Mr. Douglas. You can say anything you have to say before him just as if I were alone. I told you, Douglas, I had put my affairs into the hands of the police. Mr. Riggs has it in charge to make wrong right, If it is in the power of mortal man. Wovo vnn onvth'JJf to t"/»ll ma Tl'srsV"

the story of the opal ring. "Dalton? What Dalton?" Douglas inquired, when Riggs stopped and took a sip of his spirits and water. "Of Ivy Cottage, St. John's Wood—a widowed party with two daughters," said Mr. Riggs, taking another sip. "What I've called about principally just now, Mr. St. Lawrence, is to ask you to trust me implicitly for a time," Mr. Riggs continued. "I want you to make make me a promise that whatever you may see or hear, you won't commit yourself, and that you won't breathe a I word to a living soul of what you know.

It's a ticklish business, Mr. St. Lawrence, and will require nice management. If our cards are seen, all may be lost. It may be hard upon you at times, but, if I nave your promise, it's as good as an oath."

St. Lawrence thought for a few moments, and then said: "I do not see that I need hesitate to give you the promise you require. I do trust you. both from what I nave heard, and from what I have seen of yon." "Thank 'ee, sir," Riggs replied, finishing his glass. "You see, sir, it wouldn't do to take a false step. Perhaps if this 'ere gent is in your confidence he wouldn't mind giving the same promise." "I wa.i born deaf and dumb," said Douglas. "You need not be afraid of me." •'Very good, sir," Riggs responded, with a slight elongation "of his usual smile. "If some other folks had been born deaf and dumb, it might have been better for themselves and for others too. Good-day, gentlemen. In a few days, or perhaps weeks, I may have something more to tell you, Mr. St. Lawrence. Thanks for your promise. Good-day, sir. Don't come down —I can find my way out."

When the door closed upon the detective's retreating figure, St. Lawrence rose and paced the room. "This suspense is enough to drive a fellow wild," he exclaimed "and I am to do nothing—can do nothing!" "It is hard," Douglas allowed. "But what can't be cured—you know the old saying. Cheer up, man. I'll bet you a dozen Havanas to an old paint brush that all will come out right in the end." "Heaven grant it!" St. Lawrence ejaculated, lie continued to walk up and down for some time, and then threw himself into his chair again, tossing his hair back from his brow. "By-the-bye, Douglas," he said, after a while, "what made you exclaim at the name of Etolton?" "Why, it's the name of my little music-mistress," said Douglas "she's Miss Dalton."

So saying, the light-hearted young portrait-painter ran down-stairs, and St. Lawrence was left to his meditations.

-CHAPTER XTT

No small matter would have kept Lord Alphington at home when he had appointed to meet his newly-found grandson, but he was subject to severe attacks of gout, which he could only ward off by attention to first symptoms. He was a spare man of temperate habits, but he had inherited this complaint probably from some indolent and self-indulgent ancestor. On the day before he intended to go to town, he felt a premonitory twinge that experience told him must not be neglectjourney was postponed till •h

ed, so his Monday, by which time he hoped to be able to put his foot to the ground without fear.

Lord Alphington arrived at his town house in Magnus Square by one o'clock on Monday morning, ana found Mr. Thompson, the solicitor, waiting for him as appointed. Fancourt was to be there anliour later. "Lord Alphington shook Mr. Thompson cordially by the hand. "You congratulate me, I am sure, my

alone. Douglas had just good friend, he said. "You for a chat, as he did almost through, what my lonely life has been to me, and now Heaven has been good to me in allowing me to embrace a son in my old age.""

"Well, sir, I earn say nave at present," Mr. Biggs replied, polishing his head with DIS blue handkerchief— "leastways. I'd father not say anything at present. But I don't despair, Mr St. Lawrence." "All right Riggs. Take a glass of spirits and water?" said St. Lawrence. "Well, I don't care if I do, sir, thank 'ee. Cold without, if you please. I've got another singular case put into my hands," Mr. Riggs confided and then hie went on to tell the two young men

"Oh," exclaimed St. Lawrence, laughing, "I thought you were not going to tell me the name." "It came out unawares," Douglas replied. "Ivy Cottage—I wonder whether it's the same it sounds very like a nest for such a sweet little dove to coo in. Ivy Cottage, with a good studio in a north light, plenty of sitters who would pay well, and a dear little wife to make things pleasant and comfortable "Half a dozen squalling children," St. Lawrence interrupted, "the doctor's brougham always at the door, long bills at Christmas "Stop!" cried Douglas. "You may just as well let me enjewr my ideal—it will never be anything else and in the meantime you'll go and make love to the fair Amaryllis, and I shall be nowhere." "I'm not in the falling-in-love vein you need have no fear on that score," said St. Lawrence. "I say, Eustace, I want you to go with me to the promenade in the Botanical Gardens on Wednesday. It's not bad fun—there are lots of pretty faces to be seen," said Douglas, as he took up his hat to go. "Bother the promenadel" cried St. Lawrence. "Now what's the use of going on like a bear with a sore ear?" Douglas remonstrated. "If you are Eustace St. Lawrence, why not enjoy life as Eustace St. Lawrence? Let the re3t come after." "Well, I'll go," promised Eustace. "I must distract my thoughts in some way, or I shall do something desperate." "Not while you have yomfidus Achate.s with you shall you do anything foolish," said Douglas. "Well, good-bye, old fellow. If you wrant C. D., you know where to find him."

You know wnat

Mr. Thompson cleared his looked as if ne did not quite know what

Mr. Thompson cleared his throat, and if to answer. "Of course,! congratulate you, my lord," he said. "Mr. Sedley, or Mr. Fancourt, as we must now call him, is still a young man. There is no doubt he will acquire the habits and manners of the class with which he will for the future associate. We must allow for

utuectire euucatiuu. Something in the solicitor's tone made Lord Alphington uneasy. "Defective education," he repeated. "I understood that the young man had been educated at Yale College, a&d that h© had traveled much since.^He is surely a gentleman?"

Air. Thompson coughed behind his hand. "I believe he was at college, and, when I speak of defective education, I dont mean that he is exactly ignorant* He writes a good letter but what you term traveling, my lord, I should prefer to call knocking about the world." "You alarm me," said Lord Alphington "I am sure by your manner you know something against this young man. Speak out, pray however much it may distress me, it is better that I should know." "Indeed, my lord, you take my words more seriously than they were intended." Mr. Thompson replied. "I know nothing whatever against Mr. Fancourt perhaps, remembering what his father was, I felt disappointed. That is all, I assure you." "lie is not like his father then?" Lord Alphington interrogated, glancing with a sigh at the portrait of a handsome, attractive-looking young man, which hung in the library where they were sitting. "Not in the least perhaps he takes after his mother's family," Mr. Thompson suggested.

Lord Alphington sighed again. We must not let any disappointment as to his appearance bias our judgment," said he. "I hoped there might have been a resemblance, but I have learned to put my hopes on one side. Let us proceed to business—time is creeping on."

Mr. Thompson proceed to lay before Lord Alphington the proofs that had been placed in his hands. There was a considerable bundle of papers, all of which the Earl looked over carefully. "It seems quite beyond a doubt that all is as we wish." he said, but in a less cheerful tone than that in which lie had first spoken when he met the solicitor. "IIovv I wish all this had been known years ago. that I might have had the guardianship of the boy! However, it is useless to regret the past. That opal ring is the only thing missing," he added, taking up a locket and examining it. "Did Fancourt explain its loss?" "He spoke of having beeiv robbed by a servant," Mr. Thompson replied. "I have placed that affair in the hands of a detective, as you directed—a very acute fellow, who has been engaged in more than one case that has come under my notice. If any man can follow it up, Riggs can."

Lord Alphington was about to reply, when the door of the room was thrown open and Mr. Fancourt announced.

Lord Alphington rose quickly, a look of painful anxiety upon his countenance. lie was about to advance to meet the man who entered, but stopped short, the eagerness of# his manner changing to extreme hauteur.

Fancourt, in appearance much the same as when he had called at Ivy Cottage, came forward with an air half cringing, half presuming. Mr. Thompson, thinking that the Earl was in some uncertainty, also rose. "Allow me to present to you your grandson, Lord Alphington," he said.

Lord Alphington waved him back. "I know," he returned. "You have proved to me that this is Fancourt's son as such he will receive every justice at my hands. Sit down, young man." he added, addressing Fancourt for the first time as he resumed his own seat.

Fancourt felt cowed and uncomfortable, but, endeavoring to assume a nonchalant air, he waited for Lord Alphington to speak. "When 1 wrote to you to make the appointment for you to meet roe here to-day, I took Mr. Thompson's word for the correctness of the proofs," said Lord Alphington, in a chilling tone. "I have since looked over them myself, and I find them to be as he has stated. There are a few questions, however, that I wish to ask you."

Fancourt bowed. "You have no recollection of your father, I presume," said the Earl. "None whatever, my lord," Fancourt replied "he died when I was almostan infant." "I do not know if you are aware that, after my son's death some report reached me he had married and left a widow and son. I made inquiries, but could find no trace. Can you account for that?" "Mr. Fancourt did not retain his own name in America he married soon after his arrival and assumed his wife's .name—Sedley. You see by the register my name is put down as Sedley. After his death his wife left the place where they had been living, and returned to her own relations in the north." "You are speaking of your father and mother, I suppose," said Lord Alphington. "Certainly, yes, my lord," Fancourt (plied, with a shade of embarrassment.

Lord Alphington put several other questions, still maintaining so distant, almost severe a manner, as to make Mr. Thompson sorry for the young man.

He had known that a disappointment awaited his client, but perhaps had scarcely been prepared for its extent. When he had met this man as Sedley, in his ordinary dress and with his natural manner, he had been unfavorably impressed, but his utter unfitness for his new position had not struck him so forcibly then as it did now, and^ he felt sorry for him as well as the Earl. It was an unfortunate business altogether and Mr. Thompson began to wish he could have found some flaw in the roof. Independently of his respect for him, he personally liked Lord Alphington he had always been treated by him with courtesy and consideration.— This stern and haughty bearing was new to him, and revealed at once to the clear-sighted lawyer how great was the distaste the Earl had conceived for his grandson's appearance—a distaste, he feared, as he watched Fancourt's countenance and manner, which time was not likely to lessen.

Fancourt also perceived that h3 had not made a good impression and at first this somewhat daunted him, and threw him out of his calculations. He on his side was disappointed. He knew that Lord Alphington was an old man, and he had come prepared to find him infirm, weak in mind, and a driveler, as he had expressed it to himself, whom he could easily manage. This noblelooking man with keen eyes and cleax intellect he had not been prepared to meet and it took him some time to rally, to regain his usual audacity. In the end he consoled himself by the reOwHnn that it would be all th*» nlooa.

"Jt Sr -7^».w.- \^s U1 Mfilisisis!!

anter for him if Lord Alphington aiu not care to have much of liis company. He would be obliged to make him a handsome allowance, and this he could spend with much more satisfaction tc himself when removed,from all restraint and surveillance.*

In the meantime Lord Arlington was undergoing a ^jentyj strode. He was a strictly just man. He began tc argue with "himself that he had nc right to visit his disappointment upon the head of his grandsou, or to refuse to hold out his hand because he differed so widely from what he had wished and hoped he might be. He deteimined as far as possible to endeavor to overcome the feelings of distrust and repugnance with which the man had at oiice inspired him, and at any rate to give him a fair trial before passing judgment.

He softened his tone, therefore, when Fancourt, having answered his questions, seemed to await his further pleasure. "You had better dine with me this evening, and we will then discuss future plans more fully." he said. Apartments will be placed at your disposal in this house, and all suitable arrangements will be made. I reside at Alphington Park almost entirely, so we shall hot interfere with each other."

Fancourt began a profusion of thanks, but the Earl stopped him. "The son of my son. and the heir to my title will receive what is his due," he said. "When we know each other better, personal regard may follow. Much depends upon yourself."

He rose as a sign that the interview was over. Fancourt, taking the hint, prepared to withdraw. The Earl merely bowed, without holding out his hand, and Fancourt, after an answering bow, retired with a feeling of relief. With a deep sigh Lord Alphington threw himself into his chair again. "Good Heavens," lie exclaimed, "is it within the bounds of possibility that that vulgar upstart can be Fancourt's son?" "He had not a father's guidance," said Mr. Thompson, deprecatingly. "But blood, my dear fellow—does that go for nothing?" demanded the Earl.

l'I

wish—I wish—but that's of no usek" he added, checking himself. "The dis- 1 appointment is terrible. Instead of any comfort, any pleasure to look forward to, I shall have only anxiety, only fear that this man has done something, or will do something, to tarnish an honorable name. I cannot apply the epithet 'young' to him, for his appearance tells one that he is already' old in vice and dissipation." "Surely, my lord, we are judging hastily," Mr. Thompson remarked, seeking after some consolation. "Granted that Mr. Fancourt has sown his crop of wild oats, he may reform." "Wild oats!" exclaimed the Earl bitterly. "Say rather tares and thistles, or I am no judge of physiognomv."

He remained silent for a while, and Mr. Thompson, observing his look of abstraction, took up his hat. "You have no further commands for me, I think, my lord," he said. "At present none, thanks, Thompson," responded Lord Alphington, rousing himself. "After this evening I will communicate with you, if there is any further need.

They shook hands. Mr. Thompson, passing through the square, hailed a cab, and drove off to Westminster while Lord Alphington remained in his library, buried in thought of no very pleasant description.
