Something haa oceurred to disturb him on the very evening of his arrival at Lynne Court. Long after midnight, when the servants had retired, that calm and dignified gentleman, hayâ€" ing rllt on a pair of list slippers, had thily made his way, like a burglar, to the room wherein his father had aied. The room was just as it had been on that sad occasion, except that the bed was made. Not an article of furniture was disturbed. He examined the contents of a Nureau, but without finding what he was seekâ€" hfi-. Then he drew that cumbersome arâ€" ticle of furniture from the wall, and peered behind it. The candle he held flickered with his movements, and cast ghostly shadows around the room. Hin' search was all in vain. Then he turned to a trunk, cautiously ogcnod it, and rummaged therein for a few moments. Whatever it was for which he was searching, it evaded him. M g fs He bad just arisen from the trunk, after closing it, and was brushing the dust from his clothes, when something struck agzinst the shutters of oue of the windows. | The‘ men had gone on a rabbit hunt, | and the ladies were to assemble in the | neighborhood of the burrows, to partake | of a luneh. Sir Jordan challenged Lord l Lorrimore to a short horseback race, the | prize to be a rose worn on the bosom of | Audrey. Sir Jordan, having the superior horse, won the race and claimed the reâ€" ward. It was gracefully bestowed unron him by Audrey, who naa that morning received the rose from her most devoted attendant, Lord Lorrimore. The fact that this flower had been won by his rival was an unendurable aggravation, and might have led to serious conseâ€" quences had not Audrey temporarily | calmed the hotâ€"headed young man." For once his calmness deserted him. He started, his lips trembled, and drops of sweat stood out on his marbleâ€"like forehead. In a few moments, failing to hear a repetition of the sound, he wreathed his thin lips into a ghostly smile and mutâ€" tered : ‘ Lorrimore accepted it, raised his hat slightly, and without a word stalked off, ln.nd in a few moments found Audrey, as [ if she had been waiting for him. ' She raised her eyes and glanced _ at him with an offended air, which he afâ€" !fected not to notice as he held out his | hand with the rose in it. A short time â€" afterward Lorrimore challenged Sir Jordan to a test of marksmanship, the prize to be the same flower. He cut a small hole in a card, tacked it on a tree, and the agreement was that he who made the best shot should possess the rose. Jordan fired and grazed the top of the card, Lord Lorrimore sent his _ bullet directly through the hole in the centre. Jordan took the rose slowly from his coat, and extended it to his rival. "You forget you wore it!" he said in a low voice. "We were not quarreling." * ‘You were!" she said, her lips tremâ€" ‘bling, her eyes moistened by his grave retort. " I saw your faces! Oh what fools men are! Toâ€"to quarrel about a trifle." o f 6 "Let me restore you your property, Miss Hope?" he said, in a calm tone. Audrey took the rose, dropped it on the ground and set her foot on it, then turned her flashing eyes n him. "How could you be gm of suchâ€" such folly. To quarrel over a worthless flower."

His face cleared. "I may be away some timeâ€"a yearâ€" "Two years!" she said, promptly. "Iâ€" I will wait. It is a promise!" He held out his hand. She stretched it out slowly. He took it and grasped it so tightly that the rings cut her fingers. Then he bent and kissed it, and, without a word, turned away. Sheâ€"â€"womanâ€"likeâ€"was frightened at what she had done; she did not regret the rmmise to remain single, but the sending him on a wildâ€"goose chase. _‘ ‘Then she leaned against the tree and did what every woman knows she would doâ€"burst into tears. § _ "TLord Lorrimor!" she called out, faint lyâ€"so faintly that he did not hear her Lord Lorrimore did not appear at dinâ€" ner that day. Instead, Lady Marlow reâ€" ceived a note from him stating that he had been suddenly called to London. _ _ Then Lord Marlow looked around and asked : "Where‘s Audrey ?" J She had left the room and gone upâ€" stairs, but she entered as he spoke, and came forward with a smile, but looking rather pale. And no wonder, for on her dressing table, where her maid at Lord Lorrimore‘s requestâ€"and a sovereignâ€" had placed it, she had found this note: "I have gone. You will keep your part of the compact, I know, and Iâ€" well, I will bring your friend to you, if he is alive! Tell no oneâ€"especially Sir Jordan Lynne! The next few daye after his departure from the Grange Lord Lorrimore was & very busy man. He put his business afâ€" falrs entirely in the hands of his lawyer, attended personally to some matters which res:lred his {mmed'hte attention, and ten days later was in New York. Here he made inquiries regarding the young man of whom he was in quest, but could gain no satisfactory information regarding : the whereabouts. of Neville Lynne. A month wa« passed in the American metropolis, and then Lorrimore set out for San Francisco. The search in Caliâ€"> fornia was diligently pursued, but withâ€" out finding a trace of the wanderer. In a Ballarat paper, which Lorrimore found in a readingâ€"room of the Palace Hotel, San Francisco, he saw an account of an exciting incident in a mining town in Wildfall. Australia, wherein an athletic young English miner of refined manners Wildfall, he discovered, was in a state of great excitement. An adiacent mining town, Lorn Hope Camp, had suddenly beâ€" come Inoculated with a religions fever, through the advent there of the Rev. Mr. Brown and his pretty, _ blueâ€"eyed daughter, Mary. The good people . of Torn Hope attentively listened to the preachings of Mr. Brown, and were so deeply impressed by his pious _ fervor that they had banished the ne‘erâ€"doâ€"wells and blacklegs from the settlement. They | had then been organized as a gang of | rangers, with the purpose of despoiling travellers, and had found hiding places ‘ in a lonely district between Windfall and i‘;v;'n-'â€"!‘iSpe, which settlements were about tewnty miles apart. _ _ Already frequent attacks had occurred within short distances of Wildfall, and several travellers had been plundered by the road agents. _ Consequently, when Lorrimore arrived at Windfall, he soon became acquainted with the condition of affairs in that vicinity. A body of vigilants was organized, in Wildfall to pursue the rangers, and Lorâ€" rimore joined it. He had learned of the peril of attempting to reach Lorn Hope Camp, where he expected to find some tidings of Neville, unless he were protected by an armed guard; hence his eagerness to join the vigilantes. Thus was the condition of affairs at Wildfall, and it was in direct contrast with that the the camp of Lorn Hope, where unusual serenity reigned. Neville had struck a golden treasure in a loÂ¥ely ©andt AEPIIRCC CCCEC His interest in Mary Brown presently became painfully apparent to Sylvia sensitive girl. On one occasion, indeed, when Neville had brought from the valâ€" ley _a _little bouquet of _flowers which â€" he had plucked in the valâ€" ley, _ «specially for the _ miinister‘s darghter, Sylvia wept secretly at the " she said, with a laugh of annoyâ€" valley, a few miles from his hut, and was secretly working the streams which flowâ€" ed between lofty hills. The creek beds gave forth gold in large quantities, and avery night, after his day‘s labor, he conâ€" gave forth gold in large quantities, and every night, after his day‘s labor, he conâ€" veyed his auriferous dust and nuggets to his hut, and he and Sylvia rejoiced in the thought that soon they would have enâ€" ough to warrant their departure for merâ€" rie England. To prevent discovery of his good luck by the miners of Lorn Hope, Newv!le onl necasionally worked his new ela.imâ€"â€"oe{ dom going to the distant valley oftener than on alternate days.

When they were seen by Lockit adorning the coreage of Mary Brown, and he learned from that young lady that they ‘had been presented by Neville, he suspected that Neville‘s frequent absences from the camp were not entirely due to his desire to gather rare floral tributes.

Preparations for travel were immediâ€" ately made, and Neville and Sylvia etarted for Wildfall, where he intended to exchange his gold for notes or letters of credit. They resolved to walk the twenty miles, wisely thinking that if they rode their horses‘ footsteps would certainly arouse the attention of the rangers, should any be in the neighborâ€" hood of the route that led to Wildfall. Night overtook them ere they were twoâ€"thirds of the distance, but a bright moon rendered their way clear. Suddenly as they were passing through a thicket, Neville‘s keen ears caught the sound of a breaking twig; in a moment more both of the travelers rewbe: : Aubed io ameliihets ies /: 238 0n L in a moment more both of the travelers heard the noise of horses‘ hoofs.
