THE CITY OF THE JUST. By THOMAS TERRELL, K.C., OF THE SOUTH WALES CIRCUIT (JOINT AUTHOR OF" LADY DELMAR CHAPTER VIII-Continued. A Proposal. "That this Tiffing-ham "Winetaple has pro- posed to Miss Winifred, and been accepted?" "You have no earthly right to i-te-ogate me thus, Dr. Eceles, none whatever; but I will bear with you, it is my duty, as you remind me, as a clergyman, to be lenient. I have every reason to believe, every reason- that Mr. Winstaple will marry my daughter, and I need not tell you that it will be of her own tree choice, absolutely. I think there is no use prolonging this very painful conversar tion. Good-day, Dr. Ecoles, good-bye." "Good-bye?" "Yee, good-bye; it is beat for you, beet for all." The rector proffered his ha-od. which the other took mechanically. Mr. Stepney followed him to the door. He was anxiocts that no interview sboctld take place between the doctor and either of hie danghters; the time was critical. There was the rustle of a dress on the stairs as they passed through the hall. "Leaving us so soon, Dr. Eccles?" interro- gated Bob ae she advanced towards him smil- ing. "Yes, my dear," replied the rector, "Dr. Eccles is, I regret to say, obliged to go to London on very pressing business. He will be gone for some weeks, I understand. I hope you will be gnocessfiil, doctor; you have my very best wishes I assure yon." The rector looked, forbidding anything in I the nature of an explanation. Bob still smiled, shaking hands not altogether without empres- eement. Boeles felt that she had placed a. paper in his palm, and he took some courage. The understanding between himself and Bob was evidently in full force. "I think the rector exaggerates the necessity for my departure," he said. The rector was uneasy but determined, un- easy because there was a. doubt in his mind as to whether he had sucoeeded in persuading Eccles of the hopeless nature of his suit; determined because all at once he was being opposed; he had pressed Ecoles away, Ecclre would remain. "I am really very glad that the business is not so very urgent; there is always something tra-gic to me in business that requires instant attention," Rob remarked, conveying at tie same time in her. eyes something more which she did not say, but which the doctor under- stood. "It would be better, much better, doctor, if you were to follow my advice." put in the rector. I "I will think over it. Perhaps, as Miss Bob eayw, it would be better to do nothing tragic." He had recovered himself a. good deaJ, and was stiffening for a struggle. The rector felt now that there would be resistance. He was not sufficiently sensitive to appreciate that Bofo was the fighting force. He lauoe&fed against Bcclee. "You understand, doctor, that my mind is made up." I "I should prefer postponement." "It would be useless; good-bye," And the rector again held out his hand. "We shall see you to-morrow?" asked Bob, well understanding the "good-bye" and refus- ing to accept it. "We shall want help for our decorations for the harvest festival." Eccles looked from the rector to Bob, uncertain what to say. At length he took courage. "Certainly, Miss .Bob, if my pa/tiemt* will admit of it." He stepped out, giving the rector no time to emphasise his dismissal. As be walked .down the path he read the slip of paper which was in his ha-nd. "I have hea.rd-believe no ill—be faithful and true-Bob." ) It was a lie then, and he knew his foe. Well, God help him, he would be faithful and true. Dear, good, gentle sister Bob. And he whistled on his way and whisked his cane in a manner which, had the rector Been it, would have set him pondering. But he wfa otherwise engaged. Mr. Wertzell and the other promoters of the legal proceed- ings, which had been instituted against him, had called for an interview, and, the rector having been apprised of the fact, was striving to resume the air of calm dignity which be knew was of so much importance when he met his errant parishioners on the subject of his and their Christian differences. Mr. Wertzell had come with an olive branch in his ha/id. The spectacle of civil war was hateful to him. The rector had been worsted, true. and had been ordered to pay the costs, which were considerable; but he did not wish to take advantage of that in any way. Now, was it not possible for them to put their heads together and to see what could be done to settle their disputes? That man of the Baptist Chapel, the Rev. Elias Jones, had been scoffing them from his pulpit, and, alto- gether, Mr. Wertzell and the others were desirous that an end should be made of the quarrel. These matters in ecclesiastical courts were not like the oounty-oourt--they were so long about that everyone grew weary. "It would not become me, as a clergyman and a. Christian, not to ijtlieve in the sin- cerity of your motives, Mr. Wertzell. If there in to be a settlement—that is. if you repent, I mean sincerely repent of the course which you have taken—I will say nothing of the sorrow and anxiety which have been caused to me. It is not for the servants of the Cross to weigh their private wrongs. We were sent, all of us, to bear the thorns of martyrdom in patient resignation. I heps, with graee, to bear mine with fortitude." The rector had not assimilated himself to the Jesuitical spirit which he aped. He had adopted his High Church Ritual because he had observed that to do so opened out a sure road to notoriety-and food for his vanity was what he craved for. He did not admit it thus, not even in his most secret communion with himself. In every man's character there art" governing principles of hatred. malice, envy, avarice, vanity, which are the powers originating his aotions, but which he never recognises. To himself, as to the world, he proclaims that he is influenced by righteous- ness, charity, truth, piety, anything you please, but not by the others. Envy prompts ? to destruction of the envied, and the low-born politician proclaims equality and eternal right. So it is all round. So it was with the rector. Vanity demanded recognition. In his innermost heart he called it—duty He discoursed of the Bride and the spotless purity which he was bound to Preserve her in He twisted every argument to his pur. pose; but it was none the leas hypocrisy that it was not recognised as suoh even by himself. Thus it happened that proclaiming himself a Ritualist, almost a Jesuit, he had never realised for an instant the spirit of Ritualism lie remained the Church of England country rector with all the aristocratic notions and prejadiees wiuch appertain to that character. Proud, stiff-necked, with contempt for his inferiors in every line of his face. As he spoke humility he shouted defiance "If you w*, to drop that there persession and the omasmeatM. and the candles, I think I we might eat on, eh?" and Mr. Wart^n ittaM to th* <*b»x» fo, ooofirwauwi of bi» BtMNO* pftar. "And the raising of the Ottp. Mr. Wertsell. I says as the raising of the Cup is rank popery; we must have that," put in one of the others by way of amendment. The rector grew red in the face with anger. "I thought, you were here to express your regret for the scandals which you. and those who bave instigated you, ha-ve brought upon the Church, not to insult me." "We come, parson, to say this-it you will drop them heretica.1 perceedings we won't say nothing about what's gone, costs and all, which was very generous of Mr. Wertxeli, seeing that be was guaranteed by other per- sons from any low whatever in any event. "And as for insult, we don't mean no immlt nohow; now do we, eh?" and Mr. Wertzell again sought support from his friends. "Gentlemen," said the rector with sup- pressed passion, "you have mistaken me. I will have no compromise. Penitent sinners at the feet of the Church, yes, but compromise, never. I have reckoned the cost, and I will not turn aside from my duty. I am now armed and prepared for the fight. Don'tt imagine that in me you behold a poor, broken- spirited waverer who will temporise with the enemy at the gate. I have the means to sup- port me whatever happens in this great battle which I have undertaken. I will fight for the Cause and the Church, as have done those who have gone before me; and believe it if you will, you who traitorously come hither to bribe me, I will succeed—as the right ever must against heresy and Satan' The rector had to take bDeath. Mr. Wertzell felt anxiously for his hat. He was not pre- pared for denunciation, he had come to com- promise; besides, he had not been told what to do should matters take this turn. It had been thought that the rector had come to the end of bis tether, so far as money was con- cerned. and that it was now an opportune moment to induce him to climb down. "Go," resumed the clergyman- "Go. until you can come aga in with grace in your hearts; but be not deceived. To-day you have a passing advantage; to-morrow it will be otherwise—you are only at, the beginning. I will pursue this to the Privy Council, them. maybe, to the Queen's Bench, and to the Lords." "It will cost money," ventured one of the gentlemen who had not spoken before. The rector would parley no further; he waived them a dismissal which was impera- tive. The next day he received notice of proceed- ings for sequestration, and this compelled him to write a long and urgent letter to Mr. Winstaple. CHAPTER IX. Ben o'r Cae. It was not easy to keep a ma.tter secret in Pen-ewm-garw—everybody knew evsfyfeaygyi else, news was scarce, events of special inte. rest occurred rarely, and when they did tbaw became public property instantaneously. When Stephen Ecoles retttrned home on be night of his engagement with Winifred his exuberant mood did not fail to attract the attention of Letty Evans, his old housekeeper. The doctor bad been very frequently at the rectory of late, and it had been thought by many that there was something in the wind. So when Letty applied a few questions in that adroit way which women understand so well, she received answers which, if not straight to the point, were sufficient. The news was soon communicated to Mrs. Williams round the corner, 'and by noon it was a well-established fact that the daughter of the parBon wa« soon to be the wife of the doctor.. The rector alone remained in ignorance. He was so very superior to everyone else in the parish, he kept his dissenting neighbours so much at a distance, and they on their side had so little to do with him. that it was not surprising, under the circumstances, that he should not be better informed. Had he known more at the time when he made his bajgaizt with the broker, or when he received the doctor, he might have played his cards to better effect, and with greater certainty of success; as it was, he was in a great difficulty, and lie had to give much consideration to the subject, so as to ensure the success of the scheme which he had now so much at heart. Ben c'r Oae was one of the very first to ;eoeive intelligence of the engagement. He liked the doctor—he liked him because Bob liked him, and because the doctor, although he had often spoken to him about his vaga* bond life, appeared to have taken pretty much the same view of his misdeeds tha.t Bar many of his neighbours had done. The doctor would stop and speak to him on the road, would, if he met him on the top of the moun- tains, not object to a glass of beer in his company at the Greyhound. The doctor haA attended him through an attack of rheo* matic fever a. couple of years back, ad. although he had refused to receive fees from the poacher, he had not refused an ocoa- sional hare dr a pheasant which Ben sworw on his oath had been shot on his own farm: Ben always spoke in the highest terms of Stephen Eccles, and he was glad when he n^WB ot}he engagement to Wini- fred etepney. He pondered it over in his mind, and came to the conclusion that it would be a most fitting match; and he brought to mind that some fifteen miles up the valley he had sees, the tracks of several otters, whose skins taken in the winter, and carefully prepared, as he knew how to prepare than, would not make an unworthy wedding present from such a character as Ben or Ctebs, Ben had, as I have said, overheard the greater part of the conversation between the rector and Effingham Winstaple. The rector, himself was a. person for whom Ben enter- tained the most profound dislike and dis- he represented the Uhureh of England, which, although Ben was °nrrtn0udforreligioasscruple8' be kated most .ordially. as any good Welshman should.

From that very first evening when Winstaple had dared to express his admira-tion for Winifred in too bold a. manner, Bob had realised danger. She had seen in the glitter of his eyes an open admi- ration which made her tremble. Love such as his she did not understand, for her love waø love—self-denying love. There was an odour of hell around the love of Winstaple which was terrible to her. It was not love at all. It was lust, the passionate, selfish desire to possess, ephemeral, like the flesh which was its fexuHtation. not lwtinc like the low erf heaven; it was the love of the bo4r, to which the soul had no pert.
