THE PEER AND THE WOMAN BY E. PHILLIPS OPPENHEIM. CHAPTER XVI.—(Continued). Mr. BrudneU said nothing, but waited for Lord Alceston to proceed. His face was generally as impassiv- as a lace could be, but at that moment he felt it hard to conceal the apprehension which was drawing in upon him. Lord Aloeston, watching him closely, saw it, and it made him the more eager. "It is suggested to me, Mr. Brudnell—I will not say by whom, or how that there may be in my father's past life some secret which would afford the clue to his murder. It ig further suggested that about this secret there may be something, at least, of guilt, something for which, at any rate, the world would not hold bim guiltless. I am told thai this hideous crime may be the vengeance of some injured man, and that if I prosecute my search for him I may drag into life some disgraceful story of the past which will bring shame upon my father's memory. As though in support of this I am told a circumstance which happened on the night of his murder, which, if generally known, would at least cause scandal, and for that reason I am bidden, I am implored, to Jet the whole matter rest, and to let the murderce go in peace." "If thare be any truth in the suggestions of which you speak, my lord," the lawyer re- narked in » low tone, "the advice was good." "But do you think that I believe in this- this——" "The yeey best man have sometimes sinned, in the days of their youth," Mr. Brudnell in- terrupted him. "True, and if my father ever Oid so, I will not be his judge. But before I let his murder remain unavenged, I must know more—I must bear something more than suggestions." There was s- short 6ilenoe. Seeing that the lawyer was not disposed to break it, Lord Alceston arose, and, moving to tKa opposite tiide of the writing table, stoodi facing him. "Mr- Brudnell, listen to me! If there is anything in my father's life which he kept conoeaJed from the world, you are the one mam who would know it. You know that I aon not here out of mere idle curiosity. If any- thing less depended upon it I would never dream of needless prying into his secrets. But what has happened alters all that. It is my duty to ask, and yours to tell, anything which osjo, throw light upon this. I ask you a plain question, Mr. Brudsnell; give me a plain answer. Have you any reason to believe that in following out my search for my father's murderer T run any risk of bringing to light anything which had better be kept secret?" The lawyer did not hesitate far II moment. He looked straight into the pale, anxious face bending over towards his, and answered him; "Ihava" "My God!" Lord Alceston took a quick step backward, as though he had reoeived a blow. He had come here quite expecting some such avowal, and yet, now that it had come, it came as a shock to him. "You must tell me all about it," he said slowly. "I must know all." "I cannot," the lawyer said. "But I tell you that I will know!" cried Lord Alceston, fiercely. "I will hear the whole story, a.nd I will judge for myself what risk I run of bringing it all to light if I carry on the search for his murderer. Do you think that my vengeance earn die so easily— can fade away at two words from you? I must know wll." "Never from me," said the lawyer. "Then the shame be upon you," cried Lord Alceston, bitterly "if I do mischief; for I shall follow this thing out to the bitter end!" The lawyer rose to his feet and held up his band, for Lord Alceston had caught up his hat as though. aiboult to depart. I "Sit down, my lord," he said, "and I will tell you what I may." I CHAPTER XVII. A GLIMPSE OF THE PAST. "I dare say you know," Mr. Brudnell com- menced, "that your father had a long minority. He was an orphan at six years old, and until he came of age I saw very little of him. After thep., however, he came to see me frequently, and, although I was rather young at that time, he honoured me, I be- lieve, with his full confidence. When. he was 22 years old he left England on leave from hie regiment for a year's travel. It was 80011 ;vh««rw»rd that his troubles began. "At first he wrote to me occasionally, but very 8Oqp. he Heft off doing so, and I had no news of him for some time, exoerpit through his bankers. About a year after his departure I was eent for in great has be by the manager of (the bank. From him I learned that your father had already overdrawn his account very considerably* and thaft afternoon another draft for a large amount had been presented by the agents of a foreign bank. What were they to do? Of course I authorised the payment of the draft, but I wrote to your father thait night pointing out the position of affaire. By return I got a peremptory demand for a further large sum, to obtain which I had to sell out a quan- tity of very well-invested stock. I heard nothing then-—" "Forgive my interrupting you; bulb where was my father at lhis time?" asked Lord Alces- ton. Mr. Brudnelll shook his head. "That is just one of the- things which I may not tell you. To prooeed, I heard nothing more from you? father for a month, and then news came to me in a Startling manner. I had some fcuends dining with me one night, when word was brought in to me that a man wished to see me who would take no denial and who seemed greatly agitated. I made some excuse to my guests for e. moment. In the little ante-room I found waiting for me, travel-stained and pale with excitement and fear, NeilLson, your father's servant. "I cannot tell you why he sought roQ Lord Alceston. I can only teli you this— that hi? news was such that I left my house within an hour and travelled night and day until I reached your father. 1 was unsuccess- ful in my journey, and, notwithstanding all nlY entreaties, I was obliged to return to England alone. Your father professed un- bounded gratitude to me, but the one thing I which 1 begged of him he would not do. He was mad at that time, I think, or he would not have stayeA in tha* places But he did, and I had to oooue back without him. I did net see him agaaa for three_yfiprs. when he re- turned to England to his commission in the army' Very soon afterward he was married." "What you have tolld me is the husk, with- out the kernel. I want to know where- my father was during bis mysterious absent* from England, and what was the danger frcm which you saved him. Do you mean th9.t you will tell me no more?" "I do, Lord Aloeeton. In this very J"()(:m J. gave your father my solemn promise that do word of it should ever pass my lipa. J cannot think that yon will urge me i*; break a promise which should surely be considered sacred to the dead." "No, I cannot urge it"" Lord Alcestoo ad- mitted. "And yet, if he could have foreseen anything like tibia happening-i. makes things so different." "My lord," said Mt. BrudmeiH. "1 was not myself wholly in your father's confidence. B«^ judging from what I do know, I should say thait it makes no difference. My opinion is that he would rather his murder remained unavengted than that that page of his history should/ be read out to tjis world in the aven- ging it." "That I fhall try to judge for myself." aaH Lord Alceston, "for T shall try to find o-ai what was written on thai page. Then I "haU. use my judgment." Mr. Brudndl shook his head. "ft wiU he a sad) waste of time, my lord." "I am young and I cam tp'tre it. I must do something in this. I cannot fit down in idle- ness." "You have my advice, Lord Alceston, tittl advice of an old man and a man of the worfcu and one, too. who has the>additional adva.ntag« of knowing far more about the matter than you do. Let the matter woeflt as it 1:'1. Y OP cat* do your father no possible good by seeking his murderer. Revenge is only a sentiment, and it is certainly not a noble sentiment." I do not seek revenge, Mr. BrudnelJ." said Lord Alceston, rising and drawing on his gloves. "l seek justice. "It may be, my lord, that that has already been dealt out," replied Mr. Brudnell. aiso rising. What, in my father's death ? Do you that that was an act of justice ? Do you mean The lawyer laid his hand upon the younq; ?, man's arm and checked him. "Nay, my lord, I did not meaa that. Hav-i you ever thought what must be the state oi mind of. a- jaurderer ? Though he be a very devil there must be moments of fear, of re- morse. A man's sin carries with it always its own punishment." "It may be so, Mr. Brudnell. I hope tha' it is so. But I did not come here to discuss abstract questions of morality. As to .i- course I intend to pursue my mind is quit*, made up. Good morning." "Good morning, my lord." Mr. Brudnell attended his distinguisksd client to the outer door and then returned to his private room. There was a pile of busi- ness waiting for him, and his head clerk was impatient for his instructions for the day. Bu., Mr. Brudnell put them all off for a while, and, shutting himself up in his room, sat down in front of his table with a troubled look in his face. He had an odd habit sometimes, when he was perplexed, of talking to himself, &oM he found himself doing so now. -"I must-see Lady Alceston at once." he said. softly. "Perhaps she knows.

He took up a book of engagements, anil crossing out several already entered, wrote "Clanavon" across the space opposite Thurs- day. Then he fa.ng for his head clerk, and announced himself ready for the day's business. CHAPTER xvm. A VOICE FROM THE CLIFFS. High up on the summit of a long line of iron- bound cliffs frown the battered remains of what was once a great castle. Many hundred fees below a gray stormy sea, which even in the calmest of summer weather seems never at rest, dashes in with an unceasing melancholy ro*- upon the few yards of shingly beach and the worn cliff side. The country around and behind is a barren moorland, treeless and un- cultivated and houseless. Only a keen ey« could detect, right down in the shelter of the cliffs, a few red-tiled cottages huddled closw together as though for protection from the wild, sweeping winds, and in front of them a few brown-sailed -fishing boats, and here and there the fishermen cowered tuan n. nwimii fire and told wild, eerie stories—for they were North Country folic and superstitious. Sometimes they stood on the grinding shingles bathed in a shadow of salt spray and looked longingly but hopelessly out) through the clouds of mist and stown to the sea to which they dared not trust themselvMB y, and Nometimes they all joined in labouring ?wt repair the misfortunes of one of their llttM community, and mended a net, or sail, «« I hammered fresh planks into the bottom of leaking boat. It was a plain, rough. Hard life, with many sorrows and few -tys rnb they lived it without grumbling, and tq., whole with -t-i i tp. as much satisfaction as many of their more fortunately situated fellows. It -o in • autumn when their lot seems hardest and the battle of life most severe and it is mid-autunm now. A wild, gusty wind comes roaring over the unquiet German Ocean, furrowing the gray sea with moun- tainous waves, and dashing them in upon that little strip of storm-bound coast with all the fury of an army of angry demons cast loose upon the restless waters. As the hours of night drew on, the thick pall of darkness which had been weighing upon earth and sea was pierced by the sudden appear- ance of the full moon from behind a thick bank of fast-moving clouds. At the door of the cottage which supplied the place of an inn to the little hamlet stood Jim Doore, land- lord of the same, tempted outside for a moment by the sudden appearance of the moon. Hold- ing his pipe behind his back lest the wind should blow it into ashes and rob him of his last few minutes' stolid enjoyment before retir- ing for the night, he took a few cautious steps shoreward and looked around him. First he cast a long, anxious glance over the wildly tossing sea, and drew a long, deep breath of relief when he saw no trace of any craft- light- ing a vain battle with the demeuts-fn" JiJa Doore was a humane man. Then he jjk'i vsd up at the castle and noted the two glimmering lights which shone from different parts of it. At one of these he looked with indifference on the other high up in the uninhabited peti- tion of the keep, he looked long with frowning brow and displeased mien. (To be ccmtmuedJL
