Oh, Charlio!" eried Peggy, disdainful and stoical no longer. Let me go with you!"
Tenshend was warprised by Mellish's action. "I don't like this happening here!" said he "I don't like it at all. It is no business of mine to bring criminals to justice."

CHAPTEL XXXI.
CONCLUSION.
It was a remarkable coincidence that Will Lemna and Charles Catheart-the inaccont man and the guilty-entered the old guol at Wrattasley together. But with feelings how different from those which had aioved him la his first imprisonment did Will endure his With pleasure, Mr. Townshend," said Melarer the charge of fraudulent onlistment pretty second short period ef durence! He had got

He sat down, and continued to keep his eyes shifting from Charles to Peggy, and back again. "A gentleman. a country squire," began Townshond-in fact, old M.

"I love soon about it." said Townshoud, *** and [ bag to repeat that, in any case, it has nothing to do with yon, You never were Mr. Kosteven. Well, from that bit of dishonour able action on the part of old Mr. Kesterea sprang all this trouble. Pon my word. I'm not fitted to be much of a preacher or moralist, but there's a fine text about the sins of the fathers! At any rate, hero wan a father basing and persecuting his own son, who did not know his father; and afterwarda a brother-a half-brother-persecuting a brother, who did not know he was brother. Then came the murder of the half-brother, will the suspicion that the brotherthe true, legitimate son-had! committed it. How did that come about? Well, you will renumber, Mr. Molish, that by that time old Mr. Koatever was doad some time, Joaring presumably a widow, and also this young Mr. Kestoren-so-called, though ho had no legal right to more than his muther's namo-this young Kesteren as his hoir."

Before he was folled he managed to give his assailant a blow on the mouth, breaking a tooth--a false tooth" Townshend put his finger and thumb into his waist-out porket "Here it is," said he, and showed the tooth.
"Just su," said Mellish, who was growing excited.
The iuderer led at top-speed. He went erashing down through a pining like a wild beast. A local inkooper who was outshing --saw him."

I am very sorry, indeed," said Townshend, rampling his forelock, confoundedly sorry for overybody. I have said I have no right to be a preacher or moralist, but pon my word, the folly of this crime strikes me, as a man of com- monsense. It has only been successful ruining
