'01 TWO SQUIRES.
the story OF A LOXCr FEUD.
CHAPTER I.
It was Christmas morning; a genuine,
old-fashionod Christmas, sharp : and clear
and cold. The meadows were covered, far
and wide, with crisp, white snow, and the
lit'tlge-rows sparkled with crystal frost
work. The rustic monuments in the vil
lage churchyard assumed forms of quaint
inikfmiteiicss under their fleecy covering,
and the ancient yew trees, dark and gloomy
iu summer when all was gav, seemed now
like fairy fountains springing upward in
tho a inter sunshine, vv Uliin the churcl
was gathered well-iiigh the whole popula
tiou f our Cornish chapel, and with ten
der eloquence' onr good old vicar, bowed
withnfu and infirmitv. but still earnest,
htill eloquent, onco more' preached the.mjcs
- ml'c of peace and good will. Not an eve
wandered among the earnest, upturned la
ces, not a sound broke the quiet hush of
nqit attention as he poke his concluding
word:
"And now, mv brethren nav, rather
Sir Philip Trefusls, his dangbler hanging
on his arm. At the lynch-gate Uncle Dick
stepped aside to let them pass. With
kindly eyes he looked straight at Sir Phil
ip, aud we felt instinctively that with mm,
at least, Mr. Pentreath's appeal had not
missed its mark, and that at the slightest
answering sign his hand would have been,
outstretched with generous cordiality.
Whether Sir Philip saw the look, I know
not but his daughter did, and an express
ion of pain came into her sweet eyes as he
strode on, proud and silent, and the oppor
tunity for a reconciliation had once more
passed away. i
- CHAPTER II.
We were a rherrv party round the lun
cheon table at the Lodge, for llichard Pol-
whele was accustomed to keep Christmas
right rovally, and, besides his own family,
nephews and nieces of every degree and
mends from far and near were gathered
round his hospitable board. Luncheon be
iug ended, "a discussion arose as to how we
should employ the interval before the im
portant hour of dinner tlie dinner which
was to be the crowning glory of the Christ
mas festival. Some one suggested skat
ing, and the idea was at once hailed with
acclamation. Polworthy Pool, a piece of
water almost within a stone s throw of the
Jjocige, was lrozen over, ana anoraea a
capital skating ground. Every available
pair of skates was speedily in requisition
There was a general rush for great-coats,
sealskin jackets, muffs, furs, warm gloves
and woolen comforters. Uncle Dick was
led captive by a couple of pretty nieces,
who each took possession of an arm; and,
looking like a miniature Arctic expedition,
we sallied forth to the pool
The fun was at its height w hen Sir Phil
ip T.refusis and his daughter were seen ap
proaching. No one noticed thera till they

"When I'nvdrycr, my dear; if you don't

it might be as well to put on a few dry

dinner, my dear;" and, gently touching her
forehead w ltn his lips, he made his escape.
Meanwhile, though the rescued man had
given to the experienced eye of the doctor
the welcome promise; of life, there was
much still to do to win him back to con
scious existence. Still the resources of
skill and science were applied with unre
mitting energy; and after awhile the watchr
ers were rewarded by the patient opening
his eves, and saying, in a feeble voice:
"Dick, dear Dick ! Where's Dick ? I
want to speak to Dick."
What took place at that interview be
tween the old friends, so long severed,
none knew save themselves; but when, some
hours.later, we gathered round the well
spread board, Philip Trefusis and his
daughter sat on either side our generous

it seems that the two men, alter going
about sixty miles up the Central Railroad,
left the track early in the morning with
the intention of looking around through
the day, and returning to Medford or some
other station before night. But, instead,
they got lost; and about a week after this
occurrence two land hunters, John Gross
and Nicholas Cravitv, came to a spot
where some one had staved over night
some time before. A fire had been built,
and some pine branches had been laid
down for a bed, and some placed against
a fallen tree to make a shelter from the
wind. What attracted the attention of
the hunters was tho absence of any marks
of an ax. Everything had the appearance
of being cut with a knife. They stopped
a few moments to make a closer inspect
ion of the place, with the intention of
finding out, if possible, who had lieen
there. They were about to go awav when
Gross picked up a large tin tobacco box,
which, on opening, thev found contained
a leaf torn out of a memorandum book,
with the following, in pencil, written
upon it in Polish language: :
