FORE:"Nay, my lord," replied Edith, with a bright eye and a flushing cheek, and drawing herself up to a height that she had not exhibited for many years"nay, my lord, my son is able to defend himself against the weapon of an open foe, but not against the doings of a covert enemy!""If you'd know what the Colonel is, pray travel over
