I dressed myself.: In vain d i d I try to rouse me. in vain were lord and lady Perry's attempts to amuse: i felt a dejection of spirits, for which my fears rould Inn too well account. Eleanor was hurt b y m y agitation ; 1 w a s upon the point of felling her all I knew in regard to Jane, bill recol- leetion told m e , I had. repeatedly promised never to reveal i t ; 1 dreaded lest Home had by some means heard o f o u r sudden depar- ture, and might endeavour to • a n y off my sister; I shuddered at each, foo step. Kleanor constantly i n q u i r e d w h a t I mean! by looking o u t ait every noise : m y excuse was that I dreaded the safi j y o f m y father and Jane ; n o r h a d s h e y e t forgot the nigh: we came to the border?, so as not 'to fear for them. I traversed each apartment of the castle, repeatedly visi'mg that of Jane ; I looked round it, as if its silent walls were to inform m e o f h e r loss o r h e r safety—but all appeared desolate and forsaken. So eager were my wishes '.o follow them that I w a s equipped i n t h e morning ere Percy a n d m y sister had risen. Percy, still weak, bore the fatigue butler than we could have hoped, an,I against dinner ttie second d a y w e reached New- castle, where the earl had hatted ; b e e m - braced us as we entered, expressing himself doubly happy to see us, as he feared Jaue might have detained us by her illness. Alas! what I dreaded by anticipation appeared now to be realized—" My lord," said I. g a s p i n g t h r o u g h w a n t of articulation. "Jane came not with us." "Why leave her?" said my father. •• she went, w e a l l supposed, my lord, with you," replied lady Percy, f o r 1 n o longer h a d t h e power of utterance. The earl w a s a l l rage, he suspected she had eloped with Home, and vowed ven- gen ice against them both—swore he would return to the borders—he would raise all his friends, a l l h i s vassals—he would extir- pate the very name of the chief w h o h a d dared such an insult. When the passion uf the moment had subsided, he informed us, .that the morning of his departure from the borders, ere he rose, an attendant of Jane's came to desire he would visit her ladv, " w h o w a s , " she said, " violently ill;" •• and indeed so she appeared," continued the earl ; " she bagged i might o n n o account postpone my journey, but hoped she might be able to proceed slowly the next day with lord and lady Percy." In- quiring for the surgeon, my Bather was told he had gone to the hermitage i n t h e forest, whose sage inhabitant w a s i n possession ot a speedy cure for that disorder of which Jane complained ; that lady Percy a n d I , fatigued b y o u r attendance, had retired to bed. and were asleep. Deceived by so plausible a story, the earl left her, alter re- peating his charges to her attendants ; as was mounting, lord Percy came to him, ,,„)logizing f o r h i s appearance so late ; m y leceived father replied, " the occasion was sufficient excuse" (supposing his rest iiad also been disturbed by Jane), and begged he would not allow Kleanor to fatigue her- helf, yet hoped, notwithstanding the girl's illness, she might be able to proceed the next day—a favourite damsel of lady Percy's was really ill at this time, s o t h e deception became complete. Lord Percy recollected' h e w a s just enter- ing the inner court as he met Jane, who started when she saw him : already was she mounted, attended b y h e r damsel and c page—" Why," said Percy, " so late, my sister? the earl has already left u s , a n d I expected vou to have proceeded with him." Jane, without hesitation, answered— •• Some material papers obliged h e r t o turn back, but that ere the earl reached the edge of the forest, she should overtake him." " Stay b u t a moment! " cried Lord Percy, " I will be your escort.". •• Alarm not vourself," gaily said Jane, •have not I ere this been your general? Only l e t m e entreat y o u n o t .to frighten my listers bv telling them o f m y being so -lightly attended : adieu, see the morning -tar sinks apace I " , She now galloped off, and Percy, fearful of alarming us, never mentioned the cir- cumstance. Whilst we were deliberating what course to pursue, a messenger arrived fi-oni court, wilh a promise of full pardon, and restitution of honours and lands to Percy, a> soon u - a n exchange in regard to the sou of the regent could be effected : b ut Ins attendance upon the king in person was • thoiiiiht absolutely necessary by lady West- moreland ; a n d t h e earl w a s b y Henry ordered immediately .to assist him with his counsels on affairs of great import : this was additional distress ; to whom could her lather delegate his authority ? who recover his lost child? In vain did Eleanor a n d I entreat the earl that he would not oppose her inclinations, in case she really had eloped wilh sir Alexander. Percy in vain would have dissuaded him — "Shall we plunge again the borders, so late all peace, in bloodshed ? repay violence with violence ? yield, my lord to the wishes of the brave chieftain and your lovely daughter : in the hands of the regent the sword of justice is weak and powerless; he dare not, were y o u t o apply, oppose Home, whose friends ami connexions will die to defend him." The earl, all passion .-^till,- despatched a courier for lirancepeth. t o s i r John Howard, who immediately set ott for Newcastle. His indignation knew no bounds ; thus to have ,his promised bride snatched frqia' him roused his pride perhaps more than his- love ; he solemnly vowed revenge, a n d i n his unbridled fury even hintod that the earl had connived a t h e r escape ; lie admired lay Jane Neville, it is true, but lie looked up to the strength, to the consequence of In >• alliance. The earl n o w s a w t h e full extent of the storm h e h a d raised by send- Itig for him, a n d i t grew beyond his" power to allay it. Howard's fury actually melted ii'v f a,!her into compassion for his daughter, and they parted mutually dissaiished with • HI h oilier : the next morning we learned h had engaged, a- soon as he left West- moreland House, a band of resoltlitp fellows,- accompanied by whom he set i ,u, f,,r the North. Horror s a t o n a l l o a r looks at this news. Percy now declared he would Immediately head the troop which bad been our guard from .the borders, aril, if pi ssible, reach the castle of Home before the revenge- ful Howard. His recent Wounds rendered this a dahgefoiis undertaking; the earl insisted upon his staying with us, and set I he ap a Mep> out himself to retrace, with hasty ilie road he h a d so lately passed, In ii kind of mournful expectaliou, hope almost >usj.ended, we spent a week, <luiing win h no tidings of cither parly reached us ; b i n OH t h e evening of the eighth day. We were summoned to meet my father a! a small village, seventeen miles north of New- castle. Thilher met! we Went, and found .-.retched o n a miserable bed, in a miser- able room, the so Ian. beauteous daughter of the earl o! Westmorland; i n t h e wildness ".' delirium she knew no one, except at in crvals In r father, whom she would vehemently implore lo pardon h e r ; ijrjco- iierently raved of her lovt r o f s i r John Howard "Ah. save! ni leasi save him! - do not 'ell my mothci !

Truly dreadiul w a s '.he scene, Matilda ; in the very spring of life,-in the full bloom of youth, grace, and beauty, possessed too i f a mind which promised every exertion— oh ' to behold this lovely creature, born of a family so noble, dying i n t h e sordid bed i.:' a peasant. In r face distorted, her eyes wild, and every sound she uttered wringing the hearts of those around her ! A fresh summons arrived n o w t o hasten the departure o f m y father and lord Percy ; that d a y t h e doctors had declared her fever al the crisis, and that the night would deter- mine In i fate ; what an anxious period for Bleanor ! so much depended upon her lord's presence at court, a n d m y father's attend- ance was so essential ! y e t h o w could a parent leave a child so situated ? Jane now fell into an apparently-sound sleep, and, with much entreaty, lord and lady Percy were prevailed upon to take some rest, whilst the earl a n d I watched the bedside of the helpless victim of disease and misery in silent expectation Acquir- ing resolution to relate the disaster, he dis- missed the attendants, and beckoning m e t o the corner of the room, informed me, that without slopping to rest, or even for refresh- ment, he traversed Northumberland—"And ere," said the earl. " I reached the hanks of the Tweed, a l l w a s darkness.; the river swelled with rain, i t w a s with infinite hazard that I crossed i t a n d entered Scot- land. In vain my attendants remonstrated —alas ! I w a s t o o certain o f t h e impending mischief to regard the dangers to which 1 was myself exposed. How o f t d i d I wish that I had more n a r r o w l y i n q u i r e d into the state o f m y child's affection ere I had refused the gallant Scot, and resolved, even though she had flown i n t h e face o f h e r duty, to bestow her hand where s h e h a d given her heart ! I dreaded to reach her too late. Ah ! w h y , w h y d i d she act so un- • like herself ? why not nobly avow her pre- ference ? Occupied by such reflections, I was roused b y a sudden gleam of light which overspread a s k y thick and hazy ; a sad presentiment of evil seized me. Lost amidst the windings . o f t h e hills, w e n o longer beheld the flame ; b u t j o u r n e y i n g o n , found ourselves o f a sudden, enveloped In smoke a n d a t once a bright flame burst upon the sight; at t h i s m o m e n t w e s a w t h e castle of Home one blaze of light; struck with horror, and spurring my steed, 1 galloped on furiously at the head o f m y little troop, till we came near enough to distinguish a female figure standing unon the battlements, above whose head (he flames mounted in columns—' Hood God ! ' I cried, ' preserve my child ! ' a n d drawing closer, discovered I t w a s n o t Jane, b u t a venerable matron, who, i n a l l t h e agonies of despair, rent her grey locks, and giving a loud shriek, as the beams gave way, fell amidst the ruins. Turning to another part of the battlements, by the reflection o f t h e blaze, we beheld, stretched on the ground, a female, who appeared newly fallen from the north turret ; i f s h e y e t lived, every moment w a s o f consequence ; I felt a l l t h e activity of youth, and leaping a deep fosse, raised from the ground—gracious Heaven t the lifeless form of your sister Jane ! h e r face streaming with • blood, her garments blackened and rent, 1 bore h e r i n m y arms to the first gate, which my attendants broke down, .scarce were we through it, when the tower fell to crackling ruins, a n d a dread- ful mass covered,the very spot from which I h a d s o lately snatched my miserablu child. Ah Cicely ! nature shrunk within me at the sight, every feeling of gratitude w a s a w a k e n e d towards that merciful Power which had sent me, almost miraculously, to her aid (To be continued.)

PLANNED PRODUCTION AND DISTRIBUTION OF FOOD. The view that agriculture would have to shoulder a great responsibility i n t h e future regarding the restoration o f o u r national economy, quite apart from its function of providing, as was their aim, a higher stan- dard of nutrition for the people, was ex- pressed b y M r J. B Fell, of Darlington, well-known farmer and member o f t h e North Biding and South Durham Executive of the N.P.U. when he addressed the Bishop Auckland Debating Socitty on F r i d a y n i g h t . We are fully aware of the task that lie* ahead of us as primary producers and we. are ready to play our part, and indeed no single industry can contribute more than agriculture. While British agriculture to-day main- tains a high standard of good husbandry, in order to still further increase that efficiency o n d s o lower the cost of food, it will be necessary' to expend large capital sums in modern buildings and equipment. Whilst t h e n e w rates of depreciation allowance on capital expenditure are wel- comed, i t i s still doubtful that even they will be sufficient to allow agriculture to re- equip itself at a reasonably early date. In our present day scarcity of manpower it is also essential that agriculture should afford its workers a standard of living and conditions of work equal to industrial workers, otherwise more profitable and highly protected occupations would con- tinue to attract the belter workers, a n d s o without adequate man-power our greatest indu-try would not be able to produce as much as the G o v e r n m e n t m a y require o f i t . Referring to food supplies, Mr Fell said this would be a world problem for some time to come, b u t t h e surest way of solving it w a s t o produce more and encourage pro- duction There never had been a t i m e w h e n there was more food than the people wanted, and even i n t h e days of supposed plenty there was hunger and malnutrition in many countries; what happened was that i n t h e past there had been a badly- planned distribution a n d i n future, while agriculture at home and overseas must pro- duce t o t h e m a x i m u m t h e r e m u s t be along- side it co-ordination of distribution with production. BARNARD CASTLE COUNTY COURT. TRACTOR WHEELS THAT WERE USELESS. At Barnard Castle County Court on Thurs- day before His Honour Judge Gamon, a case adjourned from the previous court re- garding a Baruinghani man's claim f o r t h e return of £1U0 paid for a set of tractor wheels from Mr George A Beckett, motor engineer, of Knare.-borough, was continued.
