At Stanley hall In the gathering twi light Esther waited for Hagar. It waa a sad homecoming. The doll eyea of Hagar gleamed with recognition of the portals of Burnley MIL Hat the ttce of Esther, the gentle, lorlng Esther, was the face of a stranger to her. Alarmed and weeping, Esther led the moaning woman she daemed to be bar mother up' the broad steps and Into the wide hallway of Stanley hall. Here a fierce, wild change cam* over Hagar. Bbe sprang to the door of the library and threw It open. "Bee, he Is In here!" she cited. They have him In there, the child they stale and sold from ma. See the diamond that blazes on his little breast I Take off the diamond! There la a curse on It for all oar race I Take off the fine raiment I GHre him back his Mgst Ha [ la my aon F Now, too. even the ceased mind of Hagar seemed to realise tho library was empty and unoccupied, tor she gave a wild cry and (eQ sobbing on the breast of Esther. Summoning the servants, Esther had Hagar carried to her chamber. The "Give me my child!" blow Blair Stanley bad dealt Hagar wttb tbe heavy poker had made no cut or external wound. Sbe was soon In fevered sleep, und Esther was forced to leave ber bedside at urgent sum mons from below. There sbe found Lake Lovell, head man for Hsgftr here as well as at the gypsy camp, bidden In the mountains twenty miles away. Susplclonlng that Hagar was 111 botb of mind and body, Lovell had already usurped authority. Even now be was ordering tbe wandering hunchback or gan grinder from the place. But If Qunbba was frail he was cour ageous. He was Insisting he would not leave the place until he bad said farewell to .the strange, grand lady <Kee bad spofcen Romany to him and also farewell to her fair faced daugh ter, who had also bidden him to stsy and be refreshed There was something so loyal and true In the hunchback's respectful gaze that, stranger as he was. It made Es ther take Ms hand, after sternly dis missing the scowling Lovell, and beg the humble hunchback to stay. "Do not leave us," she whispered. 'Something tells me you wOl be a friend, and we have no friends now save perhaps our gypsy people." And even as sbe spoke Esther recalled the scene In the grand stand at the tourna ment and bow this hunchback wander er had warned Arthur that he had been betrayed. At this Juncture a carriage drove up to Stanley hall. From this a strange figure alighted, tbe figure o? a tall, lank, serious,, side whiskered English man wearing a plaid suit with a heavy mourning band on tbe arm apd a glistening white tropic helmet. -This strange individual had a rifle in tlw carriage. At tbe sight of Quabba's chattering monkey the lank Englishman grew wildly excited. "Some of their native wild beasts I" he exclaimed and rushed back to tSS carriage for his rifle It took some effort on the part oi both Esther and Quabba to zeasaoi* Marmaduke Smyth*, Lawyer, Q?ti HI* ' Gun. the excited visitor that Clarence, tlx monkey, was not at all ? wild beast of the Virginia Jongle, simply an Itta ?rant organ grinder's Trlend, compan ion and collector of external revenue. Then the strange remade known his same and em no. "I am Marmnduke 8 my the, barrister, of London, England, solicitor and agent of tfie estate of the earls of Stanley of Stanley castle. Warwickshire," he said. "Lord Stanley died there a month ago from the Infirmities of old age, leaving no heir in England, the succession fall ing to the eldest son of the elder branch of Stanleys of this place, Stan ley hall. "I remember It well, for I was here to. verify the Amerlcuu heir nearly twenty years ago. And a beastly ex perience I tuul. tny dear young lady. I was umbiis'iinl by croaking savages and fell off a horse and was thrown not off the horse. . but figuratively thrown into the tulJst <?f n terrific utid bloodthirsty fend between Colonel Stanley and Judge Stanley,' both rip snorting. bdl|y tire eaters, n?-you Ynu kees way dowu east in Virginia say. "So my errand, young Jady. In the* wild -parts of the American border- is to notify. young Arthur Stanly, both Colonel Stanley and the judge being dead, that be is the Earl of_Stanley, and the title and estates await him In Warwickshire." And then it was Esther's painful task to tell the strange caller of the accusa tions against theyoung man he sought, of his wild flight aiid disappearance. "My word!" exclaimed the embar rassed London lawyer. "What a dread ful way you wild Yankees have of tomahawking each other, don't you know! Jf.thc American earl is a crim inal in hiding 1 must notify the next of kin, the late judge's son, whom 1 distinctly remember as a vicious little beggar who bit me severely. "In case, bis lordship, as 1 must call him, the fugitive, is captured by your white cap chaps be will undoubtedly be lynched, as is your invariable cus tom on the American frontiers here, 1 believe. Hence tl\e son of the late judge will be the Earl of Stanley.. "That Is, provided, of course," the London lawyer added, "that this Hon. Blair Stanley, as he would ba called with us, has not outgrown his vicious propensities nx a child. For I assume if he bites your' prominent border ruf fians be will be tomahawked or lynch ed or put an end to in some unpleasant manner. So yotrmust excuse my tak ing leave, as 1 must notify tho next of kin." And he raised his tropic helmet po litely and walked in a wide circle around the cfiatterln? monkov. (Continued on Page Seven.)
