As if ashawed of wedding two an- tagonistic beasts, the old Lord Man. ton and his wife died shortly after the marriage of their son, and with superstitous terror that hs time was ¢ ming, Sir Walter Vassar worried himself into the grave a few months after, and the miserable couple were left to their own misery.

Thus matters went on, until one night after a stormy scene with his wife in her own * boudoir," Lord Mazel lett the room and sought May Markoe. ' Between these two a long and arnest conversation followed, and at last ended by the triumph of the maiden, to judge from Lord Hazel's remay 1 'Yes May, I promise, nay, swear it, if you will it so, though God knows I sce only worse misery in tie future to the act.' .

At last she came to a rustic seat and throwing herself upon it, she murmured : He has promised that it shall be done and he must keep his word, for will not plot in vain for wealth and title.
