BY ANNE E. ELLIS. author of “them women,” etc. [Copyrighted, 1887, by J. H. EMU.] CHAPTER XXXV. The English journals were full of this new discovery of Lord Dudly s long-lost child. Descriptions wore given of the exchange of the dead for the living babe, and of the early American life of tho beautiful Nora, and of her discovery by and marriage to Sir Arthur Ueaconsfleld—also the confes sion of Mag and the prospective return of tho young heiress to her father’s home. Loud eulogies wore passed upon her an gelic and exquisite beauty; her grace and accomplishments, and the delight of Lord Dudly at the discovery of this lovely daugh ter si 1 1 ike the young bride he had lost so soon after marriage. Bui, these journals modestly said nothing of the manner in which the Earl had re ceived this lovely lady when she arrived at his castle as tho low-born bride of his son; truly the recital was— “ Words sweetly placed and modestly directed.” An inkling of the truth had gone abroad and been darkly hintedaabutt —but then it is not safe to expose a lord of the power of a popular Earl to public scandal —so the mat ter diod out until the discovery of Norn’s true parontago and then tongues and press were busy . The Earl and Countess wore sitting at the breakfast table one bright morning, the lovely English landscape looking unusually beautiful nfter a shower. Tho tal 1; was set with exquisite taste—a lovely bouquet of roses and lilies in the cen tre filling the room with their fragrance. The Countess iu her trailing, morning robe of black velvet and a dainty cap of boniton lace, crowning but not covering the beauti ful hair that was iust beginning to be threaded with silvery linos; the delicate pa trician face with its noble sweetness was looking most happy over the contents of a letter she was reading, and which she had found with the morning mail at her plate. The Earl, as was his wont, read the morn ing paper while he sipped his mocha. “Interesting discovery and happy re sults,” read ho in the list of “News at Home and Abroad.” He glanced down the column and the name of Boaeonsfield and Dudly ar rested his attention, and then beginning at the top he read the full account of the dis covery of Nora’s parentage. “Uinph!” exclaimed the Earl, as he fin ished. The Countess looked up from her letter which she had just finished. “IVhat is the matter, dear?” asked she. “Strange, most strange! I never heard of anything to compare to it in my life!” ex claimed the bewildered Earl. The Countess looked at her husband with an air of expectation, and tho Earl in a slightly embarrassed tone read the article which he had just finished. “O, husband!” cried the Countess, as he finished. “What will we do now;” “Do, my love! How?” “In all probability Lord Dudly will bring his daughter home, and what will he think if we refuse to recognize his new-found child!” asked the wife, anxiously. “Why, of course, my love—we must not refuse to moet Lord Dudly’s daughter, you know. Circumstances alter cases.” But if Nora should resent her previous treatment and refuse to forgive?’ continued tho Countess. “If she is as lovely in disposition as the Madonna painting represents her to be in person Ido not think she will. At any rate, 1 can ask her forgiveness and that of my boy,” replied the Earl, meekly. “O, husband! then you do forgive him!” cried the Countess, eagerly. “Yes, Anne—and have repented of my hai’shness long ere this In sackcloth qjid ashes before the picture of the sweet Nora and her boy, and have almost worshipped the fair face of Acantha. ” “0, husband!” was all the wife could say, while tears of thankfulness coursed down her cheeks. “His last new picture wife—the one I added to tho collection last week—the sweet baby girl seated on a lied of flowers, toss ing the fragrant playthings about in her in nocent. glee with her rosebud mouth up turned as if waiting for the expectant kiss —whose is the original?” asked the Earl, his long silence broken in his eagerness to talk of the much loved son and tlio gentle girl lie had learned to love through her picture. “That is om youngest grandchild—baby Nora.” “Then they have two?” “Yes, a boy and a girl—the boy Arthur every inch a Beoconsfleld; and the girl the image of its beautiful mother, who is also the perfect resemblance of Lord Dudly.” “Then the name of Arthur Beaconsfield " ill still be perpetuated,” said the gratified nobleman. “Yea, husband. Our boy would not neg lect that.” “Aye, wife; he is a true Beaconsfield and no mistake. Ho lias made himself a name throughout the world that I am proud of and that, will live longer than his race.” The Countess passed her husbund the let ter in her hand, and he read in the hand some writing of his son the account which ho had read in the morning journal; only adding “that they would return to South ampton in a few days and would take up then- permanent residence with L>rd Duil ly.” “Ah!” exclaimed the Karl, with tho shadow of disappointment in his tones, “I had hoped to have had them here.” “Tliat we can hardly expect, dear hus haud, since Lord Dudly has been deprived of his (laughter’s companionship so many years.—he will hardly wish to part with her now.” “No, that is so. But we can hgve them. " ith us much of the time as they will be so very near—mid then we can visit them Often,” replied the Earl, with a sigh. “Yes, and wo must make ull preparations to give them a home-coming worthy of their Position,” said the Countess, so very happy that silo could hardly express herself for joy. “Yus, iny love, and I will go myself to tho titled Htutus and bring tho old man here to Welcome them —the one that was so kind to our daughter.” “O, husband!” was all tho Countess could say. The Karl without delay set sail for Ameri* ua tu bring Timmy wno longed to sue his darling, and it was only a few days before tho young peoples hotne-coming ere the hap py old Yankee was at the castle dressed in a spick-span new suit of clothes and in eager expectation of seeing his “girleen.” Ho was the honored guest of the Earl and Countess who could hardly pay the old man attention enough, although he did demean himself by making friends with the gard ener—a worthy Englishman. He had also fulfilled the desire of many free Americans by going to “Yurup” anil being patronized by the aristocracy—only the old man with his independent ideas could not seo the great honor that had been done him—all he wanted was to see Nora and the babies. CHAPTER XXXVI. The Countess hastened to Margaret to tell her the glorious news. “Oh, Margaret!” exclaimed tho happy lady, as she entered Margaret's room anil sank into a chair. “My lady,” said the nurse, seeing the changed countenance of her nursling. “Margaret, the Lord has heard our prayers. The Earl has forgiven and loves our boy and his sweet wife!” “The Lord bo praised! The Lord be praised! ‘The horse and his rider has he thrown in the sea.’ The Lord has triumphed valiantly and m His good way! The Lord be praised! The Lord be praised! See, my lady—we trusted in Him and He hath heard us and brought it to pass!” cried Margaret, witli clasped hands and streaming eyes. “0. ves, Margaret—He is most good; here I have been complaining and He has been working in the heart of the Earl ever since that sweet, picture entered the castle—and has humbled his pride to the dust,” echoed the Countess, rapturously. And then she road Sir Arthur’s last letter to this faithful friend. “She is Lord Dudly’s own child! Ah! my lady, I thought as much, but I did not speak it, for I thought if it were so the Lord would bring it all right iu His own gude time.” “Margaret, you have seen him and his dear wife and little ones, and you cannot imagine how I long to behold their dear faces ” “I know, my lady. But the Lord grant vou patience and you will have your hungry heart filled ere long, and find in my angel Lady Nora the sweetest daughter you could wish to have—and two dear little loves in those two innocent grandchildren. And I can assure you, my dear lady, that his sweet wife has not weaned the heart of ‘my bon nie boy’ from his mother. He loves you as dearly now as he ever did.” “What sweet words vou tell me, Marga ret ! O, how sweet.! My heart is filled with peace,” murmured the mother. “Aye, my lady, the sweet peace that love alone can bring. 0, my lassie! He who ruleth over all and is over all has crushed the proud hearts and seen Nora of tho American Adirondacks righted at last!” said the old Scotch nurse, with pious fervor. Great preparations were now made at the hall and castle for tho reception of Sir Ar thur and Lady Nora. An elegant suite of apartments was fitted up in both places, so they could make their homes at both, dividing the time as they saw fit. The news of the expected arrival spread far and wide, and nobles and tenantry pre pared to make the event a period of great festivities. Lady Nora had long been deprived of her birthright, but the welcome and pleasure she was to receive were fully to repay for the privations she had endured, and they would be all the more enjoj’able, as she ball not known the loss she was sustaining, and was as happy as it was possible for her to be in her rough, Adirondack home. The arrival of Lord Ernst and the Count and Countess Alsleigh brought the news of the capture and incarceration of Nell, the author of Nora’s wrongs, and there were double rejoicings now that fear of all further annoyance to this gentle lady or her family was removed. The young Countess gave the tenantry such glowing accounts of the sweetness and grace of their new lady that all were in eager expectation of her arrival and pre pared to do her honor. CHAPTER XXXVII. Nora’s home-coming was a different affair from that she experienced once. The party of travelers, consisting of Lord Dudly and his daughter, Sir Arthur and the two children with their attendants, upon alighting from the railway carriage found a surging mass of tenantry awaiting their arrival, and eagerly anxious to get the first glance of their dear young lady who had been lost to them for so many years in such a strange and unusual manner. Lady Nora, when she stepped out upon the Elatform and saw tho sea of heads beneath er. started back in alarm. “What does it mean, papa?” exclaimed she, clinging to her father’s arm in terror. “Mean, daughter? You certainly do not think our people would let your return to your father’s halls go by without some wel coine, do you?” replied Lord Dudly. tender ly, while Sir Arthur smiled at her fears. Lord Dudly led his daughter in front of the multitude where she was met with deafening cheers and shouts of “Welcome lady! Avelcome homo!” Nora trembling with pleasure at this hearty display of good will smiled and bowed graciously to the people. Lord Dudley then led her to tho carriage and seated herself, little Arthur and baby Nora with their nurses therein, while Sir Arthur and himself mounted horses to ride to the hall. Tlie crowd followed them until the car riage entered the gates and then waited re spectfully until they were invited to enter. Nora, at the request of her father, alight ed from the carriage, sending the children on with it and walked up the broad avenue leaning on Sir Arthur’s arm. The avenue was lined with the tenantry dressed in holi day costume, who covered her path literally with flowers. As she neared the spacious mansion with its broad steps a bevy of little children dressed in white met her, singing sweet songs and strewing sweet blossoms be fore her. Nora’s happiness was too great for words as she shook hands one by one with the se>'- vants awaiting her with uncovered heads at the entrance. Dame Guedeuough, who was foremost among the group, Nora recognized instantly as tlie one who had been so kind to her in her hour of necessity, and she kissed the good woman’s cheek most affectionately as she took tho plump hand in hers that was noted for its kind nets. But, another joy awaited them as they ap proached tho great drawing rooms tilled with tilted guests, assembled to welcome tho long-lost daughter to her fatner’s homo. As the young couple, tlie cynosure of all eyes, enterod the gorgeous room with its frescoed walls, its furniture of gold and crimson and its magnificent, hanging, two jiersoiis advanced to meet them. Sir Arthur looked at them in amazement, and Nora started back in alarm as if she would flee from that, dread presence, but the next instant tho two young folks wero clasped alternately in tho arms of the Karl and Countess. “My boy,” said tlie Earl, softly, lest tho rest should hear, “I do not know how to greet you; but you will forgive your old father, won’t you?” “Forgive, oh, father!” replied tho son, his voice trembling with emotion as his proud father thus humbled himself. “And you, sweet daughter. I wounded! you surofv—can you forgive your old father? 1 have worshipped th" Madonug in silence when I thought you tho poor uuiid of tho American Adirondack wilderness - now I love the sweet orig.ia! for herself alone. Can you return that, love and forgive, or has tny cruelty so embittered you against me that you cannot pardon?” Nora raised her heavenly blue eyes to the proud Karl’s face—not, proud now. hut hum bled and willing to admit that one of hum bler birth could be his equal—with love beaming from them and throwing herself in the outstretched arms murmured: “Father —my husband’s father—and my father—l love you! You did not know, therefore I have nothing to forgive.” THE MORNING NEWS: SUNDAY, AUGUST 21, 1887. The Countess caressed her dear son and his angelie wife with heart overflowing with thankfulness; and then tho little children were fondled by their new grandfather and grandmother. Ah! there was danger of their being spoiled more thoroughly by the Earl anil his lovely Countess than by their grandpa Dudly and auntie. 1/ nxi Dudly presented his daughter to the titled domes and stately lords. So like her mother was she that many who had known Lady Dudly almost real ized the presence of that lady among them again. All wondered at Nora’s grace and beauty as she walked among them, every word breathing sweetness—the very tones of her voice, showing the rare culture of her mi nd. Knowing her story many expected to find a beautiful ignoramus, whom Lord Dudly would have to refine before present ing her to her own rank. But not so; the mind was as beautiful as tho body and as cultured as the highest. Lord Dudly was proud of Nora, and Sir Arthur delighted with his wife. With the Earl every graceful movement and every sweet word of this new-found daughter that he at. once rejected was a constant delight to him. The Countess felt that she had indeed fouud a daughter, and Lady Nora hail the sweet, gentle mother she had longed for. But anew surprise awaited them —Mar- garet, who had not yet appeared, entered the stately drawing rooms accompanied by an elderly gentleman. Arthur and Nora looked in amazement. Yes, there was Timmy, or Mr. Tideout, with well-combed locks and shaven chin, and dressed in black broadcloth, looking every inch of him like a gentleman. Nora greeted hjm with much affection, notwithstanding the crowd of guests—and so also did Sir Arthur, who hail the kindliest feelings for the old man. Timmy, although delighted to meet his “lady girleen,"’ was somewhat embarrassed in so' much grand company, and was soon allowed to retire—but it was an understood fact that Dudly Hall was henceforth his home. At his own request he was to tie the guest of Dame Guedenough, and was su premely happy at the prospect of being so near Nora and her children. With the children he was delighted, and they soon loved him to his heart’s content, calling him “grandpa Tidy.” Margaret’s wrinkled faco wore an ex pression of peace that bad not been seen there for many days—for her “bonnie boy” and bis bride were again in possession of their own. Tho festivities of tho home-coming were kept up until a late hour —tho grounds were beautifully illuminated, and fireworks were set off iu the presence of the guests. The Earl introduced Nora as “my daugh ter” to every one he knew, and listened to every word she uttered with proud satisfac tion. It was certainly a strange contrast from his first reception of his beuutiful daughter in-law. Truly the poet says that — “No to-morrow finds a man The man he was to-day.” And— “ Every heart that hates to-day To-morrow loves again." The guests and tenantry at last separated to give the weary but happy travelers a chance to rest—but with the understanding that the festivities would be again re newed at the castle to welcome home the young heir and his wife. CHAPTER XXXVIII. A few days were allowed the fair heiress to rest, and the festivities and rejoicings be gan at the castle as a welcome to the young heir and his lovely lady—now the mother of two beautiful babies. The Countess Alsleigh, “or brownßotty,” as the Earl still called her, was the life of these gatherings, and the Earl wondered how he could have been so blind as to have chosen her for his son—she was thoroughly in love with the young Count that many an amused smile was caused thereby; and she was so happy at tho pleasant turn of affairs for her old playmate, and her much-loved friend Nora, that she was as blithe as she used to be before she became a staid ma tron. She glided around among the guests, giving pleasure wherever she went. The jubilee given by the Earl, as a wel come to his son and Nora, was to last all day and finish with a grand ball in the even ing. A large pavilion was erected on the green, in front of the castle for the tenantry, and there was dancing and music in which ail joined—the noble guest and enter tainers unbending from their dignity and joining with the common people. And the feast! Never was such feasting before. Great tables were spread on the lawn and whole oxen roasted and served. Butts and casks of rare wine, that had lain in the cellars of the castle for ages, were drank to the health of the young lord and his “bonnie blue-eyed lady.” Nora moved gracefully through the throng winning all by her sweet beauty ;slie had a kind word and a handshake for each one—and there was a universal “God bless you” from all. Little Arthur had his much-longed-for pony, and cantered through the throng say ing “God speed” with gloat, magnanimity to the amusement of the two grandpas and the delight of the tenantry—anil won all hearts when he descended from his much loved steed to give a sugar plum to a crying child. “His father again,” was the universal murmur of those who had remembered Sir Arthur in his boyhood’s days. Sir Arthur’s tutor was there, the vicar, and firoud to find that his pupil had chosen tho ligher type of manhood, and wus u noble representative of it. Her Grace, the Duchess, much as she dis liked travel and dreaded fatigue, had con descended to be present to welcome the lovely girl aliout whom the world was rav ing, and whose beauty and angelic grace had won all hearts and storm,si the citudol of pride —crushing mightily its bulwarks. Her heart was also won, and she present ed the young wife with costly gifts. The ball was a grand affair. All forgot that there had been any difference between the Earl and his son. On this night all hearts wore charmed with the beauty of Nora as they had been with her mother before her. Her lovely form was arrayed in a costly robe of satin of the palest rose tint, over which was draped the finest point lace. 1 lie handsome family jewels of the Dudly’s flashed ntid glistened in all their splendor on the alabaster neck and round, di in pled arms and the already golden-crowned head. Nora never felt so happy in her life be fore as she did this night. She was attended around this glittering ball room bv her father, her proud young husband and her now father—the Earl; the latter of whom, in his repentance for ills former crueltv to Nora, strove in evory way possible to obliterate any traces of his harsh ness from her mind—anil he succeded ad mirably. The swo t Nora, forgiving Nora, noon loved him with all the wan nth of her generous heart—and also the gentle mother, in whom sl* had found her longing and and whom in return idolized this fair daughter with a passionate love. The Duchess .showed I sidy Nora especial attention —and for her sake and for iiis own honest worth Timmy also, who was present at this splendid entertainment by especial request. To the plain old man with hi* simple tastes, who had never been accustomed to anything but an apple paring or a quilting bee in his own rustic homo ou the other side of the broad Atlantic, tho scone was daz zling. Timmy did not dance. His acquirement in that line consisted of the sailor’s horn pqie, which was hardly admissible in this fashionable ossein hi age; anil his limbs had become rather less agile since he had grown old, for even that. But he watched his “girleen" ns she moved in echo to the sweet strains of music, for her movepients were the verjapaetiy of m< itiou. Never was isuch augoliu grace and lieautv seen in Hampshire before, and it will 1 o many a long day ere such other is met with again. The sweet and well-trained voice en tranced all who heal’d it as the bird-like notes arose and fell in tuneful harmony. The tenantry enjoyed themselves in the illuminated pavilion, and only ended their frolic to witness the grand illuminations mid pyrotechnic display— prominent amoiifc the former being the words in gas jets of “Ar thur and Nora”—“American Adirondacks” and “Welcome Homo.” Daybreak had nearly arrived when the baud'plaved “God Save the tju vu” and “The Star Spangled Banner,” both nobles and tenantry joining their voices making the old place ring with melody. The company then dispersed, with loud cheers and congratulations, to their homes, and left the two happy families now so su premely happy by the return of these loved ones to their midst. Margaret was at the ball also and took good care of Timmy—her warm Scotch heart overflowing with gratitude at the happy turn of affairs. CHAPTER XXXIX. A few days were allowed for Nora to rest, when now rejoicings were celebrated throughout the county, at all of which Lord Dudly's daughter won golden honors for her rare beauty and virtues. It required some weeks to become familiar with her new home, and Nora wandered through the largo house in rapturous de light. It was her home—the home of her dear mother—the home of her father and genera tions that had preceded him. The hall was a grand old house, such as is rarely seen except in England. Every room was handsomely and exquisitoly fur nished and with the good taste that per vaded the whole atmosphere with a home like repose. Nora spent hours before the portrait of the dear mother whom she had never known, and the pictures of her race that were so new to her. Lord Dudly delighted in showing theso pictures to his daughter and telling her the old legends and brave deeds of his predeces sors. None of Nora's mother’s relatives were living but a maiden sister, and the aunt hur ried to seo this daughter of a much-loved sister, and Nora learned to love the pleasant old lady devotedly. “0 papa!” cried Nora, as they were seat ed on a divan in the large picture gallery and baU room—“O papa! my blessings are so many that I cannot number them! How sweet it is to be loved so much and have so many, many dear kind frieuds to love!” “Aye, daughter. And it is sweet to lie so lovely that others cannot help loving you,” replied her father, archly and smooth ing tho goldon hair. i )ne or the greatest objects of interest to Nora about lior home was the old ruin. It was the remains of an old turretod castle that had been built by the Dudlys before the reformation and had been allowed tore main untouched save by time as a reminis cence of past greatness. The greater part of tho old building had fallen into a state of decay, but tho old chapel was in a remarkable state of preser vation, and Nora delighted to sit on tho rude stone benches by the side of her father or husband and imageine she heard the to (leu ms that had so often echoed through the building. She loved to wander among the effigies of the warriors of their ancient lions*;, lying upon their beds of stone in this old chapel— they were somewhat broken and dilapidated but still preserved their ancient form. And the old Norman church where the Beaconsfields and Dudlys worshiped Sun day after Sunday, and whore her dear mother lay buried, with a beautiful white figure of a hovering angel over her resting places. Nora loved that also, and she often wandered there in company with her father to sit beside the vault that contained tho re mains of the precious dead. The church was so different from the lit tle American house she had attended in her childhood days in company with Timmy. There was a sacredness about its ancient walls that filled her heart with peacoful rest. Timmy went there occasionally to please Nora —but the old man proferod the little dissenting chapel, as being nearest to what he had been accustomed in his own country —and he was allowed to do as he pleased. Nora went freely among the tenantry; and a kind friend they found in her, and all blessed the day she had come among them. She comforted the bereaved, cared for the sick and read to the aged—forgetting hor self and her own comfort. Little Arthur was acknowledged as the prospective “Lord Dudly”—and the young lordship talked largely of “my people” and rode often among them on his pony—and many were the comforts he carried to them. Woe be to the leak f that made its appear ance in one of tho thatched roofs of the cottages—for anew thatch soon found itself in place of the old one. tsir Arthur restored his mother's income to her and his father provided him liberally with means, although tho young mau was independent of all outside assistance through the proceeds of his art. A room in the north wing of the hall had been fitted up for a studio for tho young artist —it having tho advantage of being lighted from above; and that, with its ac companying suite of apartments, found the artist often busy at the easol or molding some new design in clay. And here Lady Nora loved to be with him—many of her own pretty paintings graced the walls of the castle and hall, and she loved to while away a spare hour paint ing in company with Arthur. This studio was the favorite retreat and all found tlioir way there —Lord Dudly, the Earl, the Countess, and Lady Betty* with her father and husband. Never a day passed without the Earl and Countess seeing their son and the now, dearly-loved daughter, and often tho merry laughter of the children rang through the cas tle to the delight of their grandparent* and faithful Margaret. Tho name of Arthur was no longer a for bidden subject in his father’* household, and he and his sweet wife wore venerated by all. In course of time other little onos were added to the hall—among them a little “Anne” and a “Dudly.” Timmy lived to a good old age and then died leaving sorrowing friends. His remains were taken, at his requests, to the United States to rest beside those of his mother and Mag. Nora accompanied them to see tho last sari rites performed and to have a handsome monument erected to his memory. Bhe ever remembered with pleasure that she was an American by birth, aud was anxious to sis- much of that land to which she owed so much. The Countess survived her husband many years and saw her milch-loved son, the hon ored Earl of Boaeonsfield and Nora, a love ly and much-loved Countess. Betty'* home was blessed with children, one of whom, a lovely girl, there Is a pro* Jiect of being united to the future Lord Dudly and successor to Ids father. The friendship between the young Coun tess Alsleigh and Nora never waned, and they loved each other very dearly through out life. l/>rd Dudly i* a white-haired old man, but as noble and stately as in days of yore.
