the Spiire in a sttn-nge hard voice. "Will

wretched woman went unsteadily back
towards Iean Klla. the bright sunshine
streaming down wih brave radiance up
on her golden yellow diajrf-i'ios as nho
(daggered blindly along the fields and
dusty roads.
The sun shone h n upon the two ghastly
faces iu the carriage speeding towards
the House; upm the Spiire'a set mouth

The yilhicers came hurrying in fj.wks
to meet the sad procession as it wound
through the village towards the great
bisise the nicn hushed and silent, the
women weeping for sympathy for the tll
fair man who had grown up amongst
them, their true friend and more than
Squire, but now walking lieside his dead
Son's ldy, witli the age of twity years
fallen upon him in the Inst hour.
At th" Vi.-ara tre the mournful train
paused, for the Vicar and his wife came
hurrying out. Mrs. CaiTUth'TM seizing tke

"Oh, Spiire." she cried with a burst of

Her father rose and put his arm round

"What is (heir decision?" ili ndte,l
nervously. "Oh, Lei-tie, 1 am afiaid to

"J'hey can give tui. one verdict," he
said reassuiiiily. "They would never

Dollyshi vere.l, but did not speak ; and
an instant later her father entered. She j
fhrank back in tier large chair, with her 1
face hidden in her hands; but Culverton, i
looking u caw that the Spiire's face was i
almost bright; the great bitterness in his '
heart however l'trayed itself in his tone.
"We've been hero at Ieane Klla since
Stephen's time," he sai l passionately I
"since Stephen time, and 1 am the last of
the Nugent's; but I have had a blow this
day which will noon do away with the 1
Nugent family altogether."
l)i illy' a tears broke forth again, and.
Culverton's face turned a shade paler.
"What is their verdict, Spiiret" h
asked.
'Insanity, air, and we've Ieen here at
IVane Klla since Stephen's timuP
"Hut. Squire, you would not surely have
wished any other decision P remonstrated
Culverton.
"I don't know what I wiah," answered
the Si uire, leaning his arm on the chimney-shelf
and hiding his face. "I'm a
broken-down old titan, with a taint of
madness Uin him."
"Nonsense.," returned Culverton prompt
ly "only the taint i.f tsech madnees as
makes Iiernes- what in Stephen's time
would have lieen called chivalry."
"I think, iKilly," Baid the Hpuire for
lornly, "when all this is over, we will g..
away somewhere where no one. will know
us and our etory."
"My dear Kpuire," put in Culverton
hastily.
"Wher no one, will know that I am a
poor broken -down old man. the last of his
race, whose son lies in bin dishonored
grave, a would-be murderer and a huicido,
or, aa twelve IVane Klla men, to sjtare onr
feelings expressed it, temporarily insane."
tioil Heaven! Insane! There never
was a Nugent liefore who came within a
mile of insanity '" Maid the Squire fiercely.
"Yes, that was their verdict sutcj.je
while suffering from temjnrary insanity
and they finished up by expressing their
utter distrust at Miss Cave-Fox's conduct
throughout th(? af'air. and a st rone recom
mendation to iiord Culverton to take Btej.t
to punish her for the theft, of the letter.

They were quite nileut. ..nt of respect for

hoarse whisper suggested the horse-pond
in a way which made the miserable wo

a dire agony of fright.
"Thy -w 1 1 i tear me into j.ie'e.-i!" she

man, (rive me my hat. James."
As the Squire appeared at the earden
door, the subdued murmur from the crowd
rose into a low but angry roar.
'Let us pjiss," said the Spitr. impera
tively. For a moment there was no sign of obe
dience; the hard, determined, ferocious
expression which anger had given to
many of their faces did not fade, and one
voice cried out
(iive the hussey up to ins, Rquoire. an'

"Dm't you think," asked tho Spiire re
proachfully, "that I have enough to bear

ion an to protect a woman from you?"
They made way for bim then, and tho
pair jtassej through their ranks the tall
fiorTow-stricken man and the guilty, terri

The Siuire saw her safely to her own

"Let me adviso you to leave this neigh
