or any one could nave written tne uneiest note that conventional etiquette requires in so short a space of time. Three or four words at most could hare been scrawled. Her eyes flashed with that gypsy gleam in tnem tnat warned ms x transgresseii, "I have complied vith your request. she said, haughtily. "Dr. Gascoigne will dlnehere to-morrow. How is this togo?" "A groom shall rida orer with it She touched a bell; the mis sire was dia patched at OnoO. Am I weak in yielding as I do? I won dered,. Yet I had not forgotten her strongly expressed disuse to vi. uascoigns; to please me she had invited him without objecting. Was it either just or fair of me to oaru at her mode of doing so?" In this self-communing mood I return ed to my guest, whom I found cracking walnuts ana sipping jus port with tne most placid, emiiing equanimity, tie assailed me with lively banter on my pros perous marriage, extolled the beauty of my wife. Probably I was tired with my day's sport. Certain it is, I was not a little put out by Georgie's behavior concerning the letter; ana A ustenea to my rxiena s facetious drollery like one in a dream a dream from which, in a few hours more, I was doomed to nave a rough awakening. CHABXBR XOL A MTSTKBIOUS FABOKt. As my tale proceeds I find myself al most uneaual to the task before me. Shrink from it with morbid sensitiveness. Xdttle did I count the cost the pain and humiliation the record would entail. when I first sat down to write the drama of mvlife. Having ones begun, however, there is no choice left, I am bound in honor to go on and place before the reader each link in the chain of events that led to the bitter end. I do not ask any pity for myself, know ing run well uu most i my wusry was wrought by my own rashness. But I do ask you to pause before you utterly condemn my conduct toward my wife. Alas! Had the misguided woman who brought about our hasty marriage but dealt fairly with me all might have oeen dinerent indeed! The morning following the episode of the letter Georgia continued to appear displeased wita me. one taiaea wnn muoh animation, however, to Charlie Hawks, and amnsed that he should Dractice archery with her. An old target had been discovered somewhere about the premises and my wife gave directions for it to be erected upon tne lawn. After breakfast I visited lbs stables. leaving my vote and guest in the music -room. When I was re-entering the house, a groom, following me in, laid some sort of psoKsge on a taoie in tne nan. i paused instinctively to look at what ho had left, and without experiencing any particular interest or cariosity saw that it was a box that had oome by rail from London. It was addressed Madame Dudley" in a cramped, foreign, uneducated hand, and hooks was written on in conspicuously large letters. With one idea only in my mind that of striae: Georsie pleasure I took ud the box, fatonding to carry it to her. I turned to do so, and found myself faoe to face wnn isana Aiynton. "I oame here in search of that, Mr. Dudley. Please give it to me," she said. "It is addressed to my wife. I am going to take it to her," I answered. She looked more disconcerted than the occasion seemed to warrant and repeated: "I want I must have that box. Please give it to mo." "It is much too heavy for those small hands to lift." And as I spoke I noticed how nervously she was twining together the slender fingers. There was a great change in her since I saw her last; she was looking thin and pale and very fragile. "You are not well?" I asked, with an anxiety too real to think of hiding, "lea, thank you, but " "Oh, it is useless persisting," I grid hotly. "I am quite determined to carry this up myself. Ton are not a servant. "No, she answered slowly, in her soft, low voice, that seemed to hold some hidden meaning, "I am a friend." "There is no mistake about your position in this house," I hastened to say. "You are here, I am assured, of your own free will. Inst being so, I wish you to be happy." She was not pale now; a lovely pink color spread itself over her face. "Thank you," she said, with drooped eyes. "I prefer no'diseusion, please, xou will let rci have that box?" "No, Hiss iynton, I will not.!1 And without another word I left her and proceeded to the mr.sio-room with my by no means light load. But. the little ruse was not sucoessfnl. Georgia showed herself in no way mollified by my attention. Her dark eyes glowed with delight as they rested on the box, but to me shs vouchsafed neither word nor looks of thanks. "Ha! what have we here? exclaimed Charlie, leaning over the table. "Books? I'll lay a hundred to one they're novels, Mrs. Dudley. Bight?" he asked, appealing to my wife. She nodded. 'Now, i 111 lay odds they're French. Bight; agsJn.eh?- ' "How eottli yon tall?" she asked. "This child wasn't born yesterday! That's written Jby a French woman, he continued, pointing to the address. "Hy man," said Georgie, staring at him in genuine amaze. "The Frenh maid Who traveled with me. doc is in iondon. I get her to send me Freneh novels. Hr. Hawks, you are a magician! Jack would aot have guessed as much in a thousand years!" " jacK would not nave dared, muttered Charlie aside, thus showing he was a more attentive observer than I had supposed. He next suggested opening the box. On1 some trivial grounds I forget what Georgie objected; but as she appeared so well amused with her companion thst shs i ignored me entirely, I left them to them- ' selves. They were going to practice archery to gether; so long as Georgia was pleased that was everything. But the arrival of the parcel marked "books" puzzled me. jay wire wss not mucn pi a f rencn sonoiar. I had never seen her read a Jrrench novel. If she p rocured them in this way ana jcept tnem out or signs may must oe works of a nature which - Pshaw! I was out of temper or out of ; spirits, possibly both. What did it signify. as long as Georgie was amused, what she read? She was sot a child. I sent round; to the stables to order my horse, believing a riae wouia prove an antiaote w my ; morose mood. While waiting I walkedTout in front and lit a cigarette; it was the renewal of an old habit which, with many others of my bachelor days, had been almost entirely laid aside. A groom brought round ths horse; I was about to mount when Mrs. Armstrong appeared and handed me a note. It was addressed in Edna Linton's writing I knew that instantly and the words it contained, written with pencil in apparent haste, were these: "Mrs. Dudley wishes me to join the dinner party this evening. What shall I do? Please tell the bearer 'Yes' or No.' " I looked at the stolid features of the housekeeper, who had brought ths note, wondering how much intelligence might dwell beneath that stern exterior, but I might as well have tried to see through a stone wall. "Tell Miss Lynton " But there I stopped. ' An emphatic "No" struggled for utterance, but made no sound. Had I said that word the whole tenor of ths future would have bean changed much evil oerhaps averted. But the pleasant fumes of the rarely indulged in oigarette were stealing over my senses. I took another whiff, and said: "Say to Miss Lynton 'Yes.' Host Cflrtainly 'yes,' " I repeated by way of making the assurance doubly sure, then sprang into the saddle and was gone. My evil temper had vanished; my spirits rose like magic. I felt exultant, without assigning a oause; reckless, without inquiring of what. After putting many miles between me and Langdale Grange I drew rein in a sequestered lone, assured myself I was unobserved, and took from my breast pocket the little penciled note. A smile oame to my lips, a tun-ray seemed to warm my heart as I re-read ft. I held the paper tenderly thst she had touched. If y eyes dwelt on every well-known character that formed each word; then not In the

Feeling guilty and contrite, L made as hastv a toilet as possible and renaired to the drawing-room in the hope of finding my wife alone. Hawks was there, however, bending over her and fastening a bracelet; Edna Lynton sat on a low seat near; turning over the leaves of an album. "I know I am late. Forgive me." I said frankly, going up to'Georgit; thus adhering closely to the line of conduct I bad laid down. "All right, Jack," shs answered care lessly, without looking at me, tnen laughed out merrily at something Hawks was saying. Edna, raisins her eves, eravelv return. ed my bow, and at that moment Dr. Gas coigne was announced, l felt his advent a boon. He came forward, lookine bright and oheery; shook hands warmly with Georgie and myself, and seemed to bring a whiu of fresh, pure air with him. lis spoke a few pleasant words to Edna; I mentioned Hawks by name. "We are all friends here," he said, and neia nts nana to the younger man. me dinner-gong sounded; he offered his arm to Qeorgie. "How well you look. Mrs. Dudley," I heard him say aa I passed to lead the way with Edna. Yes, Georgie1 looked welt, and splen didly nanasome in ner new black dress, glittering with let. yet I knew that the Tight touch of the small hand, resting on my arm tunned me tn a way my wife's gorgeous beauty could not do. Hawks kept up a fire of lively banter behind us, but I was silent; my tongue seemed tied. When we seated ourselves round the din-ing-table I felt conscious of one presence only, and that was Edna's. It was so wonderful a thing that she should be so near! The tuft folds of her white dress touched me. At her throat she wore a little bunch of violets: their nerfume seemed to fill the air. How fond she used to be of violets in the dsys gons by! How it might have been without those soul-bewildering violets lean not say, but as it was they did lor me completely, a wave of intense feeling swept over me a revelation was at hand. I was beginning to see the wretcnea, bare, most miserable truth. Great 9od! Had I not only ceased to love my wife had I, in fact, never loved her; but been the si tvs of a mad, infatuated passion that had burnt itself out al ready?

The stranger looked at it oarcfully for about five minutes, and the salesman's eyes sparkled in anticipation of an easy sale. -Finally tne seedy individual turned to the salesman and said, with a sigh, "Thankee, sir, thankee.
