*1*0 whole way, and he had plenty of in
teresting reflections to keep him com
puny.
Since in's arrival at the Priory Morton
RHrIi had been somewhat dejected in
>‘l. 11 is pro-cm*: uii'icr his fall
rrof was, of course, due to a in ire
which everybody had divined, and which
he himself had decide 1 that it would be
stui id and clumsy to conceal. His
father waa going to die; ho w
father's natural and legitimate heir, and
it was necessary for him to show that,
whatever he might be, or have been, he
could lire an outwardly decent and
respectable life. It was neces
sary, he thought, for him
to do this, because ho behoved his father
to be ono of those scrupulous persons
who always set duty above inclination,
and becauso he could form a tolerably
shrewd guess what Mr, Hli^h's inclina
tions were. Rut bis fathers demeanor
had puzzled him. 3Ir, Illigh had been
perfectly good-humored tolerant and
amiable, had not repulsed him, nor made
the fainto-t allusion to incidents which
could not have been alluded to without
einharra&inient; yet not a word had been
spoken as to the management of the
proiierty or as to any of the topics to
which a dying man might be expected to
refer in conversation with his successor.
It was pi lin—or so, at all events, Morton
feared—that the dying man's will liad
not yc-t been signcnl. Now there was
very little probability that Cicely would
be placed in her brother's shoos.
Ono docs not replaro a son by
a daughter, nnd Morton himself had a
contempt for women which he suspected
his father of sharing to a considerable
lint s :t n,-|.li.-w who

j iallied on in this way both before nnd
in the course of dinner, and her brother*
in-law could not imagine why, until it
canned upon him that this artless
schemer proposed to set the now-comer
u • as a counter attraction to Archie.
’U.at discovery tickled him, and ho led
h r on by a few careless, disparaging
o'. m nations, which eventually had the
fleet of drawing his daughter into tho
pinch, be mode to do duty for a son who
has been weighed in tho halanco and
found wanting. This was what troubled
Jlorton. He saw, and could not help
seeing—even Miss Skipwith saw it—
that Archie waa receiving every encour
agement to propose to Cicely; he saw,
what perhni« Miss Skipwith was too
blinded by prejudico to see, that tho
voung soldier lu»d fallen desperately in
love with his cousin; and, for his own
part, he was only too well aware that
nobody would pity him if he were to re
ceive a substantial money legacy instead
of his birthright.
His record, in tnith, wra shockingly

"It is always comforting to hnvo one's

o explaining to him that it is Isn’t your

"if I know myself, said Mr. Illigh—
"hut |ioMibly I don't know myself—tliat

"1 t-hould not venture to tako such _

Ufure any invitation can Ijo sent.”
"Well, then, said Cicely, “perhaps
Archie might go, and tako papa's card
*ith him.”
Archie looked recalcitrant, but before
h- could open his lljw Morton had
thrown hinuelf into the breach.
"It seems to toe," observed tho latter
Hn^uhlly, “that 1 am marked out by

in tho hope of briugin ’ personal inllu-
ence to bear against tho interloper—all
this was elicited, without effort on the
ono aide nr consciousness of self-betrayal
on the other, and all doubt ns to tho
nature of Morton’s scheme was removed
when that ingenious plotter remarked:—
“I a.»uro you that i don't half like tho
idea of having to spend tlio rest of my
life in this neighborhood: but it will liavo
to come to that, I expect. And 1 shall
l« all alone too; for it isn’t over and
above likely that my Hster will rare to
stay and keep house for me. Sho will
have a fortune of her own—something
like fifty thousand pounds, prolwbly."
(For Morton thought there could bo no
harm in adding n trillo of £10,000 or so
to his mcntil estimate.)
“Your cousin is a very good-looking
young man,” said Mark, with his faint
smile, and his slight foreign accent. “I
should liko to be your cousin.”
“1 don't call him good-looking; and
he’s as stupid as an owl,” returned Mor
ton. “Why should you want to change
places with him?”
“Oh, only a fancy, which pcrhnps it

them together, it struck mo that ho was
upon terms of something Ynore than
friendship with your sister, that was all.
So much beauty, and £5U,C0Q he.ddes—
you must admit that lie is enviable."
“1 think” said Morton, who had swal
lowed two rather strong glasses of brandy
and soda, “that If I were ton years
younger, and if I admired n girl with
Cioely’s advantages, I should bo no more
afraid of such a fellow as Arcbio than I
should be afraid of the curato or the
doctor." 1
Having delivered himself of this state
ment with much impressivness, ho rose-
to depart Mark's six*cch had been un-

viiirli will cx:i-|-i iate

fwrtinent; but Morton did not resont it.
On the contrary, he was quite pleased
to liave been furnished with a:i 0P(N»rtu-
nity of asserting so uneqiiivoia'ly that
Archie was no formidab e aniHgoniht.
Thus it is that tho reasoning pow< r* of
tho brain boconio enfeebled when tho
other organs of the body are not kept in
a proper state of subjection.
•‘You’ll come to dinner, then, somo
day soon, won’t you?” he said with a
slight thickness of utterance, as he held
out his limp little hand. “I’ll tell Cicely

you won't lie asked ton lo.mnl party. I

you luive never hunted. I ain going to

you don't. When once hounds are run

Bobby was by no means confident of
his own rapacity to comply even with
that modest requirement; but he
fimself bracketed i

care two straws what mankind at large
might l*c plcca h! to lielievoin and wor

white, aud there waanogotting out of it.
Worse thing*, moreover, than tliat might
be said of him. London aocietv in tliese
days ha* r.ot tho name of king over-
squeamish; yet there wtrj many men
uml many women in London who would
not be seen speaking to Morton Bligh,
And so the long and tho short of it
was, that if by any means Cicely could
k* prevented from marrying Archie,
that end must l*e accomplished. There
fore M< rton waa on his way to cnll upon
Mark Chctwode, in whom ho had ob
served with satisfaction that his sister’s
intern, had been powerfully aroused.
Archie, It mieht he asaumod, would not
be mado Mr. Ifiigh’a heir if lio did not
marry Cicely; Mark Chetwodo would
timely not be raised to tliat enviable po
sition if ho did. And Chetwodo was
poor, nnd Cicely was not only pretty kit
would have a fortune of thirty or forty
thousand pounds at least
The solitary denizen of Upton Chet
wodo was smoking a cigarette in hi*
com forties* dining-io jm when hi* vis
itor was annoiiRC.-tl. After a somewhat
formal greeting, he expressed a hope
tliat the latter did notm.ni the smell of
tobacco, to which 31orton replied tliat ho
would be grateful if ho too might bo al-
lowsd to smoke.
A man who will smoke with you i*
by that very fact to some extent a com
panionable creature, and Morton's man
ners wore pleasant enough wheu he took
tho troublo to make them so. Mark
rather liked tho man, though (a* he wo*
accustomed to scrutinize men and mo
tives) it did not take him very long to
discover that there was sorno unavowed
reason for th.'f display of neighborly
courtesy. Morton, It should 1-.* meu
tioued, had deplorable nerves. Without
being precisely a glutton or a sot, he had
nevertnelcM for many year* habitu
ally eaten and drunk more tkm
'V :i- .'I f i him, h:i\ i:. ;
taken very little exercise; and
tho consequent was that when ho at
tempted to bo artful, he speedilv mado
hi* aim* evident to a praclievd observer.
Mark, cold, U. , in[*crato and constitution
ally suspicious, was a great deal more
than a match for him. They discus-cl
(for what els* could ther begin by dis
cussing?) local topics and local means of
pausing tho time; Morton avowed hi*
abhorrence of tho country and was
ph a»cl to leai n tliat hi* host wa* no
grant lovi r of Hold sport*.
"You’ll bo bored to d>*ath down hero,"
ho said; “that's a matter of course. Hut,
iKirlmp*. if you’re inclined to bo charita-
]ui«rtly
polite and uecc#-
young cmivn oi whom old Air.
Wingfield spoko to me, and whom I for
get whether 1 mentioned to you or not.
In the case of that project sue-
cctnling, the young cotisin, it
seems, would l« mado heir to tho entire
property; hut it is not considered likely
that any other son-in-law tlinn the cousin
would Iw preferred before the* neir appa
rent. Consequently 1 ant hnpV>r<*it to
come forward, and a briho of 190,000 is
offered to mo by way of inducement.
Would you believe that, poor a* I am, I
luviiato to tako advantngo of thb gener
ous suggestion? lam sure you would
not believe it if you saw Miss Bligh, who
happen* to lie quite pretty nnd n{r.*onble,
and that it would be difficult to convince
you how little her charm* liavo to Kay to
tho matter. Do you think £30,000 a very
largo sum of money? In all truth and
candor, 1 think lik*rty is worth mere
then that; hut 1 am aware that upon
such point* your Ideas differ from mine."
Having wound up his letter, and ad-
drewe 1 it to 3!adamo Souravirff, he put
on hi* hat and walked down to tho iron
railing which divided tho garden from
tho park. Upon this he dre>pi>cd hb
arms, and so stood for a long time, re
volving many considerations in bis mind.
It was quite true tliat a bribe of £90,000
hardly tempted him, welcome though
surtli a supply of hard cash would haro
been to a man in hi* straitened circum
stances: it was also true tliat Cicely's per
sonal attractions had left him cold. If
you are not in love with a woman, what
ran it signify wlicther she is pretty or
ugly? But there was one thing he cured
aU>tit agooJ d .d, and always rather
wondered at himself for caring aliout,
which wa* the recovering of the land* of
which he considered that he had been
wrongfully di-possessed. No ono can
relinquish without something of a rang
and a wren h the religious faith in
which he has been brought up; and in
much the hamo way 31ark Cbetwode
found it impossible to free hitusolf from
the impressions which hail been dime il
into his ears from his carlied childhood.
Legallv speaking, ho might liavo no
sort of case against these prosperous,
wealthy, condescending Illigh*, but he
could not help longing to be avenged
upon them, to get tho better of them;
and if this desire could not be satisfied
in ono way, perhaps it might be in an
other. To get tho better of tbe debili
tated creature who hal just left him
would surely bo a ta*k of no great diffi
culty; and as to the cousin, ho appeared
to be a very commonplace person. There
remained Mr. Bligh, with whom, of
course, it would be needful to ingratiate
oneself; but, a* far os could be gailicrcd

Archie laughed and said: “All right,
then; 1 quite understand.”
He waa very well pleased with hi*
roount~-a powerful, free-going grey; hut
as ho had uevtr ridden the horse liefore,
he coukl not be aw. r -, as hU uncle was,
that he waa bestriding om oi ’tko Jbtm
hunters that evir was bred, and lie fully
intended to keep an eye lifmn his cousin,
even though this should provo to his own
detriment. Cicely's cbswQUt mare was
an animal of quite another class—
nervous, high-couragi-d and requiring a
light liand and a good deal of riding;
but Cicely was an accumplisheil hor*e-
woman.
“The mare will ho all right after the
first few minuta*," she slid, in re ply to
expression

But of course lu* could not help

though ho admired her s at and her
hands, he waa vexed and aurprLod tliat
hia undo abotild have given bar such a
mount. As a matter of fact, Mr. Bligh,
I in l In-:. • k*
of tho word fear, had perfect confidence
in Cicely *a skill, aud would have in sled
lier with any horse in hi* stables.
At the meet, which w:
locality, a great coqp
was assembled. Tbero v
Shori-liatn, tlio 31. F. II.,

there was Sir George Dare, a ruddy-

Mmrcrly within the bound* of possibility
that sho rtuld clear without slackening

and waa hurled through somehow or
other, though not without a crash and a
ieik which very nearly sent her out of
her raddl \ Imir.e iiatcljr after till* tlio
marulu^an to faitar, and wa* easily
brought to a standstill in tho middle of a
ploughed field.
“I thought ah much, murmuretl
Cicely, a* site slipp d her foot out of the
stirrup and sprang down to the ground;
and a brief examination of her mount
showed la*r that her suspicions had been
only too well founded. Tho mare, with
atnitlng eyeballs and heaving flanks, was
quiet enough now, while from a long
jagged wo ind in her shoulder the blood
wa* dripping slowly. It was very evi
dent that not only could there be no
trfore hunting for Mum Bligh that day,
, that one of the best animal* in
father’s possession had l>ect» marked
r»r life. Thi*. it will Im allowed,
was no fault of Cicely's; hut she felt
