HROWING wide his casement, sir Richard leaned out into the | fragrant morning; immediately below lay the garden, a riot of weed: desolation, like the rose garden beyon this had once been the joy and care of that young, long- dead mother he had never known. ~Oh, man Gregory, what d've see? This home o' the proud Guyffords— a| wilderness, Greg, and all my doing! A| fair heritage run to seed like its owner. At the least I might ha’ kept the rose garden a-bloom—yowll mind how my mother loved it, Greg.” “And died there among her flowers, sir.” “You saw her die, Gregory?" “I did, sir so did Mrs. Abby. I was your father's horse boy then. and she your mother's favorite maid. You| would be scare a year old, Sir Richard.” “And now I'm 28 and feel—a pa- triarch; shav e, Greg.” And seated | in elbow chair, Sir Richard gave him- self to Grego deft manipulations. “I'll ha' the rose garden new plante said -he, “though the exchequer is low, as usual. . . . I must have money, but_how? Advise me, Greg.” ™I might venture to suggest you have | two courses—you might sell Fallowdene | g “No!

Tell me what was your other method o' raising money?” “Marriage, sir.” “Od's my life, man, I'd rather eell Fallowdene.” “With a very great heiress, sir.” “An heiress—suppose you find. me one. “I have, sir. ‘The handsomest and wealthiest in London.” “The poor soul would prove me an infliction. . . . And yet—not for very long—a month or three weeks. ‘Who is she?” “The Viscountess de Champfieuri, sir.” “Ah, a Frenchwoman!" “Nay, extremely English, sir. I knew her father; the title was bestowed on the family years ago by the Grand Louis. - In English she is Lady Helen D'Arcy.” “Well—sink me!” Richard. “Your father and hers were great cronies in their youth. My lady Heien's parents died young, leaving her to care of Madame la Duchesse d'Estouteville.” “Helen!” quoted Sir Richard.” Greg, next you'll tell me yod know her.” 1 did, sir, years ago.” Sir Richard’s ablutions duly ac- complished Gregory brought his newest wig freshly ironed, adjusted it and bowed. “Now, sir, the Marquis of Merivale waits below.” v “Merivale? At such preposterous | hour! 'Tis not 7 o'clock.” | Forthwith Sir Richard descended to the kitchen. Mrs. Abigail, curtseying to Sir Richard, nodded toward the great high-backed settle where lay a slim and very resplendent young gentleman, snoring gently: at Sir Richard's touch he opened languorous blue eyes. | “A thousand welcomes. Ned! Why exclaimed Sir “Heard o't, man? All London’ll ring week; Brocklehurst babbles.” * unt klehurst is a great friend o' -Juliai “Brocklehurst says y’ nigh killed 'm and Brocklehurst giggled ' pure rapture while he told me. Friehd or no, the Viscount don’t love Julian, and if you should happen to give cousin Julian his juietus, Brocklehurst's joy—stupendous! nd so, too, that fellow, Despard.” “Then they are like to be disap- pointed,” said Sir Richard. “I'm quite prepared, Ned, and there's no blinking the fact!” “Ay, I know Julian’s a devil wi' th’ sharps. I'm dev'lish anxious. At this moment Gregory appeared, to announce breakfast. “What would bring thee so far from James, Ned?” Richard asked. ‘Woman, m'lad!” sighed the Marquis. “The divinest creetur, 'pon m’ soul!” ‘And her name, I'll wager, is—Helen.” “Positively.” ‘Alack!” sighed Sir Richard. “Art another victim, Neddy?” “Not & whit, Dick: 'sides there's that fellow Despard haunts th’ sweet soul like a shadow! Brocklehurst too! But To Identify Genuine Aspirin the gentleman,” “Demme if Brocklehurst's jackal, 'n’ a fellow. friend; see! peerless Helen like beast o' prey 'n’ she fears him—" “Fears him, Ned—not she!
