I fancy hunters think it a capital place for sport. Htd)ert.—You have veiy extensive grounds here, and lots of game ; and as for hunting, it is, as you say, capital sport. Indeed, I spend most ot my time with the gun or oar in my hand, chasing the deer through the forest, or pulling my boat along the river, after the wild duck or any other game that is unlucky enough to come within range of my gun.

Dudley Harcourt. Signed in presence of the undersigned. Henry Walter. William Heath. Witnesses: Hubert . — Fifty thousand a year. Quite a snug little sum, I must say. But I dare say I could spend it if I had it ; the trouble is to get it. I will pocket the will. At any rate, it is worth trj'ing for, and I'm not the man to turn back now. No ; I will go for the game and bag it at last. Oh! that river — it will haunt me to the grave. Good and honorable as he was, this hand and wicked heart did not spare hinu No ; over thtif bank and into the river. Oh ! I hear him calling yet ; his name rings in my ears; where shall I hide, hide? No; this is not Robert Free that talks thus ; I fear no man. I'll take some rest, and be myself again. (Kcit). ACT in. SCENE : Carring grounds. (Enter Sir Maxwell and Hubert, arm-iH-ann). Sir Maxwell. — You have not spoken to my daughter about it, have you? Hubert. — I have not. I thought if I got your consent, I would then propose to Claudine. Sir Max. — I would like very much to have you for a son-in-law. But understand this : Claudine will not be influenced by me, one way or the other. She must have her way in this, as it ctmcerns her own happiness. You have my consent, my boy ; if you can get Claudine's, all well. I like you, Hubert; and when I hx.k in your face, I see every feature of the Derrell ; for, mind you, they were different from other people ; they had very blue blood in their veins. So had the Maxwells and the Carrings ; 12 HUBERT, THE PKETENDEB. and although our names do not figure on the pages of tlie historj' of our country, we were always ready to draw the sword on behalf of England, if called on ; and I would yet, if wanted. But I am not the man 1 was • no, twenty years do not pass away witliout leaving its weight. No, I am not tlie man I was, Hubert. My heart troubles me a great deal ; in fact I don't know the moment I may be taken oflf, ' Hube)i.~-l am veiy, very sorry for you, indeed. Words cannot describe how much pity I have for you. Sir M(u:~l believe you, my boy; and nothing would give me so much happiness as to see the families of Derrell and Carring united. I would like to see Claudine married and happy. I hope I give her to a man worthy of her. Hnhvrt. —Many thanks for the high opinion you have of me, Sir Maxwell. No man can love your daughter as I do; and if she consents to be my wife, I sliall always do my best endeavors to gratify her every wish. o J J Sir JV/((,i'.— Well, no man could say more. I don't know how it is, I don't feel myself this evening, Hubert ; I have a foreboding that some- thing is to happen. I don't know why it is that I feel thus. Iliihcrt.— Drive away those tlioughts. We'll liglit our cigars, and take a walk about liere ; it will be good for both of us. Lean on my arm. Sir Maxwell; disperse the dark clouds. I feel an old man myself some- times, when 1 look l)ack at the past. Let us look to the future; I see nothing but hapjtiness for all of us. (E.reiiid Sir Maxwell and Hubert, arm-iu-arm). (Enter Hubert). Hnhert. —Uohevt Free, liave a care. This may be tlie mo-st fatal step I am about to take, and to prolong my stay here is next to death. Yes, the officers of tlie law uiaj lay liaiids on me any moment, drag me from my hiding ])lace, and l)rand me before tlio world as a forger and a villain ; and that must not be. This face of mine was not made to look through tlie bars of a prison. I will propose to Claudine ; if slie refuses my ofter, I will take lier by force. (Enter Claudine). (7(n(//.— Oh!
