The front door of L; Hall shut so heavity that it shook the beuse Hartifieg a young girl and boy, whg sat in the deep embrasure of a window, apparently wai for something or some pation The rl was dark-haired, dark- eyed, and extremely pretty, though her lips curled rather haugbtily and an im glance shot from her large dark eyes, which told of a proud it. The boy was he golden-haired—wholly unlike his com and sister in feature, though his pale, thin lips had thesame ty curl, and his blue eyes grew dark with pride. A poor weak thing was Alfred Lysle, his right arm and leg being withered; had been so from his birth. He was tle, affectionate, high- spirited and talented, the idol of his widowed father and proud sister. There were times when his it chafed, and be almost cursed the poor maimed body which was such a clog to him Alfred reed aloud, while his sister Agnes busied herself with a piece of embroidery, giv- ing, if the truth be told, a very divided atten- tion to the words of her brother. fi “Was not that a glorious description?” asked the bey, raising his face all glowing with poetical enthusiasm. “Yes. I think I never heard a cataract de- seribed more beautifully.”” “Why, Aggie! I got long past the cataract, and reac! 6 aitelow.” ““O, have you, dear? Well, Alfred, to tell you the honest truth, I got thinking of some- thing else.

Shall I talk to you instead, or would you rather be silent ?"’ “« Talk, if you please, Alfred.’’ *: What think you, sister Agnes, will be the result of this conference?” he asked in a low tone. = The git! raised a troubled face, and answered very slowly— “Indeed, Alfred, I soarcely dare think The Dudleys are not famed for generosity, and—— Bang! bang! It was the hall door, — so heavily that it stopped her words, and cai both the young persons to start with alarm. “*Gone atlast'’’ exclaimed Agnes. And she rose to her feet just as the door of the room where they were sitting opened, and old gen- tleman entered “What now, father? I thought Mortimer Dudley would never go. How is it settled ?”’ “ The matter stands just as it did before. He will not abate one inch of ground, nor will I He thinks bis claim as g: as mine, and day ofter to-morrow we meet on the debatable ground, and with sturdy lances settle the question.”’ ? “Good father! I feared you might be com- pelled to yield, and I couldn’t bear to think that in your old age you would be obliged to ive up your home and go among strangers. Fre ease has been carried from court to court, and years have passed away in futile waiting; now, a well-directed blow, and the proud Earl of Dudley will be overthrown. Ay. charge at him, father, and may God and St. Mary guide your weapon so that you come off conqueror !’’ The old man smiled, and patted the glowing cheek of his pretty, spirited daughter, then seated himself beside his son and read with him. Sir Henry Lysle was about i Tha a some and egg pres an upright, honorable, and kind father. For two generations, between the houses of Dudley and Lysle, had been a long standing quarrel concerning some prop- erty, two-thirds, including the buildings of the Lysle estate. The ee had been carried from court to court, without any decision being made in favor ofeither party. Lately, Robert, Earl of Dudley, had died, and his son, a dash- ing young man of twenty-five, tired of the old- time quarrel, pro; to settle the de! single combat, to be held on the deba' ritory—then, in the fourteenth century, a very common method of settling disputes. ‘ Thus the matter stood, and with conversation and reading the three passed the evening. After Alfred retired, Agnes lingered behind, seemingly averse to leaving her father. Sir Henry noticed her hesitation, and, putting an arm round her waist and smoothing her dark, curling hair, he said earnestly— ** Day after to-morrow, Agnes, I shall mount my good steed and battle for my rights and our home. If I fall, a¢ fall I may, we are home- less. Should anything happen to prevent me from engaging in the conflict —"’ *: But nothing can happen to prevent you, father,’’ eagerly interrupted Agnes. “Nothing but sudden illness or death, my child.”” “O. father!’’ “We must look at possibilities, = dear ebild, and I — do not shrink. If, as I say, anything should prevent ee ees in the fight, | know not what you will do. little money I have; you will find it in the ebony cabinet beside my bed. With that you must go with your brother to our relations be- yond the border. Never mind, my child—I feel that you tremble. We'll only look on the bright side; and now, good night'”’ us they parted, with one fond embrace. As Agnes entered her chamber her heart was heavy with presentiment of coming evil.’’ About miinight Agnes was aroused from a deep, though troubled slumber, by hand laid firmly on her shoulder. It was Margery, the old nurse. “© dear, Miss Agnes, get up! Wake—as quick as you can, for you are wanted!” There was trouble and despair in the old woman’s voice, and Agnes sprang from her bed and began to dress as tily as possible, while she rly questioned e “a Bat is the matter, Margery?”’ “ Sir Menry, your dear father, is ill—taken suddenly.’’ « With what?’’ “© dear, Miss, I don’t know!

Too ill to question or doubt, he believed his daughter’s words. Towards the close of that day, A, Te- turned from a short and rapid ride, an: sought in the stable for old Arnold, her father’s trusty esquire. The old man turned as he heard the — of the tonng ae — Aiey was only in see ing lightly from the sad- die. He Sete ne ee respectfully, and waited for his mistress to speak. “ You know, Arnold, that it was my father’s u to ride forth to meet young Dudley at ‘aybreak to-morrow.” “I know—I know, Mistress Agnes, but he’s ill, stricken down, and cannot g0,”’ answered the old servitor, in a mournful voice. “I know of a champion,” and the girl’s pale faee flushed as she spoke, ‘‘a rather inexpe- rienced youth, but one who has a brave heart. keen eye and ready hand. All that he has, but no armor, and my father’s is full too wide for him. Know you of any other?” “Up in the garret is a suit long unused. It belonged to your father when he was a mere stripling, scarcely stouter than you, dear lady.”” “That will do very well, I think. Have it brightly polished, all in order, and lay it on the couch in the bed room.”” “Tt is as bright now,” Mistress Agnes, re- plied the old man, respectfully, though with an accent of pride, ‘‘as the day your father last wore it, nearly forty years ago. I loved the armor my young pupil wore, and no spot of dust dulls its bright surface, no stay sa oeed, or dinted plate.’ “Ever faithful, good Arnold, all is well. To-morrow, at daybreak, be at the hall door with black Rudolph, father’s horse, yourself oe : a Teady to accompany the young night.”? «Your bidding shall be done.”” “And, Arnold, should the young knight lack aught in riding, or in the handling of the lance, direct him as you did my father.” Agnes turned and walked quictly to the house, wholly unconscious of the curious gaze which followed her. Old Arnold looked after her with wistful eyes, then murmured aloud— ** Proud step, like her father, yet light asa fairy’s. Where has she found a champion? Jessie has been ridden sharply, I see, by her reeking flanks and heaving sides. It can’t be that Lote bora Master Alfred is going to try; that would be madness, though I know he is equal in spirit to it, poor fellow; no, no, that can’t be, for his arm is neither steady nor strong. I can’t think.” “ Arnold, old fellow,’’ exclaimed a cheery voice, “don’t bother your old brain, but obey orders. To-morrow will solve your doubts. God and St. Josephus grant that our poor mas- ters cause may be victorious.”” “Amen, Joseph,’’ responded Arnold And he turned and went slowly towards the hall Just before daybreak the next morning, obedient to orders, Arnold, clad in armor, holding black Rudolph, stood at the hall door. His own horse was held by Joseph. Both men watched with anxious eyes the opening of the heavy oaken door. . “« Mayhap the young knight oversleeps him- self, and is dreaming- now of his lady-love.”” mockingly whispered the yeoman to the old esquire. ‘he words were hardly out of his mouth when the door swung back upon its hinges, and the ring of a uailed hee! was heard upon the stone steps. Eager eyes were raised und lowered in great disappointment, for the visor was tightly closed. Perfectly silent,the unknown knight mounted the spirited war-horse, took tire lance, and started off at a smart trot, closely followed by Arnold. The yeoman shook his head, as he gazed after them, and muttered, while watching them till out of sight among the trees— “It's nobody I know. He mounted none too glibly, though he rides well. A slender youth is to combat with a fiery young Dudley. © Suc- cess to him !’” In perfect silence the knight and the esquire rode the short distance to the field of combat— a plain in the farthest verge of the Lysle do- main. As they neared the field the young knight said— «You must lead the way, Sir Esquire, for I know not bat I may go wrong.”’ The voice was deep and clear, but in vain did Arnold strive to remember having heard it before. Silently he obeyed. At last the ground was reached, and the stranger rode into the field on one side, at the same moment that Mortimer Dudiey entered ou the other. A few people were assembled to witness the struggle. The unknown knight and Mortimer Dudley gravely saluted, then basked their horses to the extremity of 2 field, and waited, with lances in rest, for the signal to be given. A stout man, Sir William Delorne, gave the required shout. On an in- scant both horses sprang forward and bore their riders on. Once they met, yet neither was struck; the second charge, the Earl of Dudley touched the shoulder of the young knight, who visibly reeled. Arnold was in despair, and murmured— * All lost! the next charge he will fall !”” A third time they rushed forward, and ina cloud of dust one went down Arnold closed his eyes and fairly groaned, when a shout made him reopen them—‘ Lysle forever! Lysle for- ever!’ Sure enough, it was the proud Earl of Dud- ley who was unhorsed, and beside him knelt the stranger knight. “Now hog you, Mortimer, Earl of Dudley.” “ Lyield,”’ said the young Earl, ‘‘but I would know to whom, for that you are not Sir Henry Lysie I am sure.” The friends of both parties stood around, and Arnold among the foremost. “Rise up, Mortimer, Earl of Dudley, and you shall know who has been able to conquer you.” The young nobleman rose, and with folded arms looked at the slender mailed figure be- fore him. The stays were unloosed and helmet threwn back, and the sun streaming th: h the clouds which had until then obscured it, shone full upon the uncovered face. Mortimer started, while a Joud triumphant shout rent the air. The young man gazed in wonder and admira- tion upon the delicate face, long, waving brown hair, and heaving bosom, of young Ag- nes Lysle! A red flush rose to the brow of the haughty Earl, and he bit his lips with rage. ‘Be not chagrined, brave udiey,”’ said Agnes, in her rich, sweet voice, while the long dark lashes drooped on her cheek, which was now paling, and she extended her mailed hand. “You have but bowed to the fate decreed to all mankind. From the inning to the end of time brave men will yield to the power of women, and degrade not their manhood by so doing. I battled for my home, Sir Karl, and God guided my arm.
