THE LAST OP
THE X U GENTS.
BY TUB AUTHOR OP "SWEKTHBARTS."
Chattrr I.
The NnpentR had l-fn the -TeAt peo
ple of Iano Ella lonpr lfore their larpe
uply red brick mansion waft imilt, and
When they live.1 at the Manor, a rambling
two-etoriel house, net in the midst of a
huge cherry -orchard, and forming as near
as possible tho center of the villape.
When the Queen Anne mansion put the
more cosy and picturesque Manor in the
ehade, the Manor waa turned into a dower
house, the occupant of which waa the
mother of Jaiqter Nugent, the reigning
Squire, or, as she waa always called, "Mad
am Nugent," by all tho country round.
Ab a means of distinction lietween the
two Mistresses Nugent, the Squire's wife
was invariably sokeii of as -the Mistress."
In many parts of Yorkshire it is not the
custom to give the grat family their
name. In Tieano Ella.there were -'Mod-am,"
nho Mistress," t" iSrjuoire," "t yoong
f pi. ire," and "Miss IV,lly."
There were jieople round almt who
considered that Squire Nugent did not
maintain his dignity tut ho ought to have
done. They said he did r.ot possess tho
atmnint of eiclusiveness and pride 1k!
coming to a man of his station and ancient
lineage; but thej were not his friends or
his own people who snid so.
He waa Nugent of Doano Rlla, just s
his forefathers had been Nugents of iH-ane
Ella for many generations I a -fore him.
Ho Xnew evei-y man, woman, ami child on
his estate, just as he had known most of
th eir fathers beforo them. Ho hail no
fear of losing caste by standing and talk
ing half an hour with Jacob Wright, or
sitting as long in Widow Smart's cottage,
listening to her account of "them rheumatics"-
ay, and what was lest of all,
taking interest in them too. No pride?
Why, he had tho lx:st pride of ail the
pride that cares for nothing or noliody,
only for doing what is just and right!
So the mushroom-gentry round about
whispered their petty deprecating re
marks amongst themselves; and Squire
Nugent went on his way in blissful disre-
f ard of them and their opinions alike.
was a handsome, blue-eyed, broad-chest-d
roan, utandiwr sir feet two in his
fbieking. with a frank hearty laugh, a
fearless look, and a great hanC ready to
help every one alike.
He hod a huge contempt for London and
town ways, though he sacriticed himself
every spring, and left the cherry-blossom
mid tLe fiesh air ln-hind him for a month
l'i-:iiisn the Mist re .is liked her season
the Mistress's will and pleasure were law
to him, as they had fieen to every one
else in Donne Klla ever siricti the tirt S in
day le. r golden hair and inqierioiis violet
eyes had won every huart, as she stl
li--ide her biir liaudsoino hnsliand in ttie
old church.
For !.er he dawdled away lotitr n:ornii:gs
in - hops, woi.di;: ii:g the wiiile Jif Ji was
giving tiij rmiu mare hur exact amount of
exercise, or if the chestnut foal was as
great a beauty as Uriggs had sent "him
word. For her sake he sat in hot thea
tres, and when ho laughed at th jokes
laughter like himself, huge and hearty
jople turned round and laughed for very
sympathy he looked so jolly.
And so Nugent of Deane Ella went on
his way. a happy, healthy, hearty country
gentleman the hardest rider, the liest
shot, and the handsomest man for twenty
miles round IVane Klla, looking, as sme
jnnple saiil, the living eiulxsliment of the
two words carved nli',e the r-at hearth
in the hall the two words which were
the motto of his house, "tor ever:

j "At this tuny of day f ejaculated Dr ily.
I "Yes. Father's going to l iart.hsi.le to

! so to lie there in time for dinner that's
why they want it; but lie quick."

' inner halU returning to her brother in a
moment.

over the Vicarage wall with ho Vicar's
wifo. . , . .
Mrs. Carmthers watc.he.1 them out of

"They are the Squire's children, she
answered. "I wonder what freak they

"Tho Spiire'a children." said th? lady,
glancing aside at tho chimneys of the
house as she si ke. "Dear me. are they
generally allowe.1 to run w ild like that t"
"Run wild," repeated Mr. Car-rut hers,
with a laugh. "Why. the people about
IVane Klla worship them if jxissil.hi,
more than they worship the Squire him
self; and lV.ily is the most perfoct little)
aristocrat vou ever saw."
Meanwhile the childr-n ran swiftly on
through the village street ; Dolly stum

up wun inn ueip

to the ground with a heavy thud ; and
Jasiwr. still running at full pee.L dragged

"T came to see Mr.Willia'n take the wasps'

"Oh. we can wait a bit f.r that."iv joined
the j. rid gihl-r. itui e.l farmer. "1 1
lieve the missis was making some cheese
cakes this inoriiiiii,', ami 1 doubt shell In-
ready to give Master Jasper a few ; so
come in and we'll see."
He picked l"l!y up in his arms and car
ried her into the largo old-fashioned
kitchen, setting her down in a hug" arm
chair of oak. polished with use and black
with aire, from which throne-like seat
Dolly heri.ically surveyed the prej ora
tions for the relief of her injuries.
"Annie," cried M rs. Pickard. going to the
f.mt of the stairs, "bring a clean soft towel
down directly 1"
An answering "Yes'm" was heanl. and
a moment later a comely woman-servant
ran in with a towel in her hand, stopping
short as she perceived Ifc'lly in the arm
chair. "Has aught come to Miss Dolly?" sho
E8kod.
"Yes; T've liarked my knees, returned
Dolly philosophically, looking down upon
her little bruised and bleeding knees with
an air of triumph which set them all
laughing. "But I didn't cry; did I, Mr.
William!"
"No, my honey ; you're t' Squire's own
daughter," he answered, smoothing the
golden curls away from her flushed face.
"A real brave little lass, phe i.s."
Oh-h-h! -and IV.lIy made a grimace as
Mrs. Pickard applied the warm water
to her bruises; then with a comical down
ward look, "Will it mark me, do you
think?"
The jolly farmer burst out laughing.
"Well." cried Dolly, half laughing too,
"Joe let the gray mare down last year.and
father said she was never good for any
thing afterl"
"Take no notice of him, my pot, paid
Mrs. Pickard, stopping to kiss the pretty
bruised knee as she dried it. "It w ill le
all right in a day or two. Annie, bring
out pome cheese-cakes and some r.roam.
Would you like a few strawliorries tors
my iet?''
"Y es, I should, please, very much," an
swered I lolly; "but" breaking off and
turning anxiously to watch the farmer,
who was moving away "Mr. William
Pickard, you won't go without me?" she
cried imploringly.
"Surely not," he answered returning.
"I was thinking, mother" ho often called
her "mother," though they had no chili 'ren
wn might go out and g"t our business,
over, and then come back and get some
cheese-cakes. You see t'Squire wants the
grub in good time."
"Oh, yes, please, Mrs. Pickard'" put in
Dolly eagerly. She was dreadfully afraid
those of the sti'i ner sex would halve her
in the lurch.
She jumped down from the large chair
and followed the fanner and Jasper, but
when she roa.oh.-d the .lonr turned l :.-k.
a'ld gr.ii-g up to Mrs. Pickard. pot 'wo
loving arms round her, and uplifted a ten
der rose-bud mouth.
"Thank you, dear Mrs. Pickard." she
cried.

ject.
"Meanwhile Dolly, with the real Nugent
pluck, ran out r.l the house j.nd along the ,
rubble as if she had never had a fall in j
her life ; and having seen tho whole of the ,
wasp-taking process, during which the 1

"Yes; but still it isn't polite," objected
Dolly ; "and I think mother would lio

the pretty flushed face again, piling the

did so.

voice went on
"I have brought Lord Cnlvortrrn to see

"Oh, you are here!" said the Spiii-p. as
he entered the room. 'Culverton has

thought we might find yon here."
"Yes; we come to see tho wasps" nest

Jasper. "I r:;.i!i" iu le-re quit" by feci

"I5ut I didn't cry." supplemented IMly,
with infinite pride in the a.ssrtirv,
"though I've hurt both my knees. But
William Pickard says I sha'nt be any the
worse it won't murk me."
The Spiire bust out laughing, and quitfl
forgot to rebuko Jasper for not taking bet
ter care of his sister. At that moment
the farmer himself entered.
"Good afternoon. Squire," he said. "Glad
to sea you. my lord. You'll have heanl o'
Miss Dolly's mishap f
"Yes," answered the Squire, hugging
Dolly a trifle closer.
"Ay, she came down like a pack o' pota-tr-ies;
an' I doubt she'll have cut her little

the real old English ttufT, Squire."
"For I didn't cry at all," said Dolly tri
umphantly. "That she didn't!" continued the far
mer, looking at her admiringly. "I've just
sent the grub up to the house, Spiire.
"Oh, thanks, very much!" returned the
Squire. "And that reminds me that I
have very little time to spare. Are you
young folk going liack with me?"
"I'm going down to Jackson's with Wil
liam, father," answered Jasper.
Jasjier had lieen privileged to call the
farmer by his Christian name from early
childhood just as his father did.
"I think you'd bettor go liack with mo,
Dolly," said the Spiire; "you've done
enough to-day."
"Very well," answered I" lolly placidly.
"Then, Culverton, you'll go with nsf

"Oh, I don't care a doal alioiit bn!l

He was going to say "Dolly," Ixit altered
it to "the Spiire," flushing crimson all
over his dark lace as he met his hostess's
expressive eve.

Culverton's estimation, and took Culver

threw her arms round thel ,y.
"Bertie, I do love you." sin- cried.
"For the toffee ?" he asked loftily.
"No, not for the toffee for your very

"Better than Jasper?" he asked jealous

road, at a pparrow hopping on the edge
opiwsito, at the packets of toffee iu Cul
verton'p hands anywhere, everywhere
except at Culverton's dark face or Culver
ton's gray eyes, the only Culverton feature
he ptissessed.
"Jasper has so many penpl" to love
him," she sai l at last, almost apologeti
cally, "and you "
"Have none," he ended bitterly for a
liy of his age only fifteen.
"But you have me." objected Dolly.
"Yon don't know-how I love you. Bcrtio!"
His eyes brightened at the sound f his
name, never heard save fioiu herlij;
and he put one more question.
"And will you always like me liestf"
"Of course," returned lv illy, raising an
innocent rose-bud mouth to lie kissel.
The young Karl bent down and kissel
her, almost with a sigh. He h:id some
glimmerings of what would come in the
future she had none.
Dolly opened the divir and led the way
tn the Fidri-entrance of tho mansion. Tho
door stsl wide open and showed a broad
.ssago paved with black and white
marble, in a large lozenge-liko littern.
There was a very old table of black rak,
and there were two high-backed chairs,
a rack for whijis, a stand for umhrelhis, a
rough coat of Jaspt r's. and a cloak of I lol
ly's. On the table was a small silver sal
vor, containing one or two cards; and on a
tray was a slice of bread and honey hav
ing ono great bit in it, which Iv.Hy had
lieen disposing of when Jasper's imperious
summons called her to go to farmer
Pickard's. At the sight of it, Culverton
laughed and U'gan an insulting nursery
rhyme about a song of six-js-nce and a
pocketful r.f rye. But sweet-t. injsred
IVilly took it in good part and volunteered
a voluble explanation.
