Oascoiime wrote in hia pooketbook, then he handed it and the pencil he had used to (ieorgie. "Your signature is sufficient," he said. She wnrte, and, as he replaced the book in his ptoket, he added, "It would take more self-possession than I feel quite master of tofaeeyourhusbandto-night." "Then you must fly quickly, for even a slow one-horse cab" and she laughed lightly an she said it "should be here by this time. Will von co oat throneh the stable yard?' They knew of my return! Then they had had me watched. "No," said he, firmly. "I came in by the front entrance. I will leave by it. I orent cautiously awav. I believed I knew their secret now. It was a vulgar ono enough only the old story of a false friend and an unfaithful wife. But, oh, my Qod, how I had been befooled! ' CHAJPTER XXVII. jrr owv nor, lovk. Leaving my place of concealment, I walked swiftly down the carriage drive and took up my position near the gates. I had n it long to wait. I heard Gas. coione's ouiok military tread noon the gravel before he came in sight. When he was within a couple of yards or so I steppe a our, into me moonugnt, right in front of him. "Ha. Dudley!" he exclaimed, with the old heaity ring in his voice, as he held out nig nana. I made no attempt to take it. For a few seconds we looked at each other thus. "What is the matter with you, Jack?" He put the question with (he most innocent air imaginable. "You've come from my house?" I said, significantly, Yes." "You've seen my wife?" "I have." "You don't deny it. then?" . "No," he answered, fixing his eyes on m e with a look that I interpreted as one of cool defiance. "And now, perhaps, yottH let me pass, " he added. The q uiet soornfulnege of his manner exasperated me past endurance. "Yon'i'e a devill" I cried, with concentrated fury, and struck at him I struck fair and full at his mocking faoe. He parried the blow, however, and hefore 1 could help myself his arms were around me. It was a hand-to-hand struggle. I was the taller, bat he the more musealax of the two, and with shame I felt thai', although the aggressor, I should be oonquered. He flung me from him with a lores that gent me reeling across the roadway. "Jack Dudley, " said he "go home. I reqnire no explanation from yon to-night. Ttwjnorrow I'll come and demand one." J3.1B issurance" petrified me. With a muttered imprecation, giddy and still reeling, I turned toward the house. For lours I walked up and down before tlui house that contained the false woman whom I onoo believed I loved. If not as yet guilty in act, my wife was at least morally guilty. Her words had proved it. I had heard her own lips say she was ready to leave me and go with Gascoirne when and where he wished. He had only to come to her, she said. The villain had got her written promise, too. The ltehts were extinguished, the moon and stern grew dim, a biting wind began to blow. I stepped in, closed the window and approaonea tne hearth, wnare a Are wag still Durnintr. Weary, miserable, and faintI had not tested food all day I east myself upoa the eoveh, and closed my eyes. I could afford to rest. I knew the worst now. In an hour or two's time I would leave my none forever. - A slight sound, a sigh quite near. reused me, and the soft touch of . a hand upon any shoulder thrilled me as could the touch of only one woman's hand on earth. Looking up, . I saw Edna Lynton bending over me and holding toward me a ghiSH of wine. Her sweet eyes were full of tenderness and pity. An angel had some to minister to me, whose very presence calmed the tempest of my soul ana nrongni me peace, erne loocea gen Wi www, " .immutt. a. uut,, 1 drank the wine gratefully, gave bask

the empty lags, and, at a sign from her, lay down again upon the eouoh. She turned the Bhaded lamp upon the table, stirred the Bra, then moved toward the door. "Iiiustgonowandsay you have come in. I will return," she said. In answer to tne unspoken question of my eyes. I know not the length of time that intervened. When she oame again, I extended nor hand to her, mutely imploring sympathy. She understood. She sat down and slid her hand in mine. At first it trembled jnst ii little, like the fluttering of a frightened bird, then it lay still. I strove to concea l the rapture with which this voluntary sot of hers inspired me, and closed my eyes lest she should read in them the iroth.. My heart was beating so that my one fear was that she should hear it. i could have lain thus for hours, for yearn, for all eternity, it seemed to me. I lad no intention of deceiving her, but 1 know that she believed I slept. "Poor Jack," she murmured. And tne very sound of the words was in itself a caress. When 1 thought I could sufficiently control my :Ceelings to look oalxaly at her, X opened y eyes. "Are yen rested? Oan you listen to something I have to say?" she asked with the same tender intonation with which she had n aid "Poor Jack!" I prest'id her hand; I still would not trust myn elf to speak. She continued: I wan ; you to be very quiet, very calm, and antiwer me some questions. For more than four hours you have been wandering t bout outside. With Mrs. Dudley's Jtniwledge 1 waited for yon here. Tell me, why did yon not come in on your return ft jm the station?" " Sural f, what I heard in Leicestershire we i sufdeient to account for that! I wished to delay as long as possible the moment when I should have to faoe my wife." "But yu knew that sooner or later that time must eome. What did you gain by thedelai?" "What did I gain?" I repeated with a bitter lanigh that it was impossible to disguise. " The certain knowledge that the woman v ho is called my wife is no longer worthy t o bear my name. I will never look on her false face again." 'You have discovered something something since yon came home?" she asked, in a nervous, startled manner. I stroie my very utmost to be calm, for she tren bled and was pale as death, "By amoident I overheard their talkhere an 1 Gascoigne's. She, the guilty wife; he, the false friend." "No, no, no! It is not so. She ig not guilty, n or he false. I am sure, am certain, thin oan be proved. But first tell me all that you saw and heard." Edna was standing now. I, too, had risen. Her hands ware clasped in supSlioatioxi. Her eyes brimful of tears, he was trembling in every fiber of her body. As simply as I oonld I related all that hid occurred, making no further comment. When I had endedshe had turned her face awny till then she looked at me, as though u weight were taken off her .mind. "Thank you, ''she said; "I know new that it can txi explained." "Explain it, then, "-said I, inereduously. "I will, to-morrow." I glan sed toward the window. She also looked in the same direction. Davliaht

was peping through the half. closed snaaea. . "To-iay. A few hours hence sha began. 'Within this hour I shall have left my home ftrever." "But -trhst do you mean to do? Where would y an go?" "I oan teu yon nothing for I know nothing except that I snail leave England and everything for which I sold myself. I shall go away free, penniless, and I think alone." "Not without first seeing your wife? Not without giving her a ohahce to clear herself from this terrible" "It is as useless aa it is painful to say more. Nothing ean shake my determine-' tion But I broke off suddenly. The look in her eyes as they met mine positively frightened me. Will yon not stay at least till neon?" she faltered. I shook my head. "Not for my for my sake Jack?" Her Voinmsnnk to piteous entreaty as -she spoke the last words. There is a limit to self-restraint. I went a step nearer to her, and the next moment she was in my arms. She hid her suddenly flushed face against my shoulder. I did -not speak, bat caressed her hot' cheek. She moved a little closer to me, kissing the hand that was caressing her. I took her sweet face between my hands and raising it whispered: "Look at me." Her eyes, with the lovelight in thorn, met mine. It was enough. I knew then with what love she loved me. God keep her and bless her and help her to bear the burden of it, I prayed. Our lips met. It was a moment when silence was more exquisitely eloquent than wordB. By a supreme effort I relaxed my hold, and slowly and gently she vithdrew. "At noon in the library," she said, as she left the room. I bent my head in token of assent. CHAPTER XVIII. TER TBAQBDT. I was alone. I looked at my watoh. It was 6 o'clock. I pulled back the shades to let in the daylight. It was a wild March morning; clouds scudding before the wind, and now and again the pattering of sudden rain-showers against the paces. I went to my dressing-room, packed my portmanteau, then threw myself into a chair to wait. For Edna's sake and for hers only I postponed my departure until noon. Once a knock aame to the door. It was a servant bring n me soma breakfast. I signed to him to set it down and begone quickly, and locked the door a ainst further intrusion. It mattered little or nothing now what the household might ehoose to think of my self-imposed seclusion. I sat near a window that commanded a magnificent view of bill and dale and winding river. The lights and shadows seemed ohasing one another ever chasing; and as I watched them the principal events of my life (luring the last few months passed before my mental vision like the phantasmagoria of a disturbing dream. Nothing seemed real except the blessed truth that Edna loved me. I repeated to myself a thousand times, "She loves me loves me my darling loves me." A few minutes before twelve I went downstairs to keep my appointment. The library was a dull, dark room, with painted windows, through which no sunlight 'ever penetrated. The walla wore lined with well-filled book-shelves from the floor to five feet upward. Above, dingy tapestry reached to the low oak beams of the ceiling. I had never liked the room. There wi s a ghostlinesB about it that would have impressed even the stanohest disbeliever in the supernatural. I could only imagine that Edna's reason for appointing to meet me there must be that, aa it was the least frequented room in the house, we were the less likely to be disturbed. There was a sliding panel behind the tapestry in one part, which had been pointed out to me on my Brat coming to the Orange, but I had only nolioed it casually, for, as I have said, I did not like the room, and only entered it in search of books, which I invariably car ried away lo read elsewhere. A cheerful fire wss this morning burning in the low, old-fashioned grate, but instead of going toward it, some strange, unaccountable attraction seemed to draw my thoughts toward that part of the faded tapestry which hid the eliding panel. The desire to investieate it took such strong hold of me that I almost laughed aloud at the absurdity of the idea. What conld fifty sliding panels or secret doors matter to me now? Whv should they even interest me, when in another nan bout I should nave left Longdate Orange forever? Nevertheless, I walked resolutely toward the spot. Another moment and I should have reached it, but the door behind me opened and Edna Lynton entered. The sight of her sweet, sad faoe, the consciousness of her dear presence, changed the whole current of my thooehts. She advanoed slowlv. I miirht almost say so'emuly, toward me. After one swift, searching glance her downonst eyes refused to encounter mine. By a Bilgut gesture she deolined the Btraigbtbacked oak chair I had nulled forward. We stood, perhaps, a yard apart. Her

lips moved as though she strove to speak, bat no sound oame. "Yoti have oome to tell me I said the words suggestingly, to help her. "Tea, but I am in great trouble," she answered, almost in a whisper. "Your wife ro fuses me permission to explain," "You felt bound to ask her first?" "Yen. I was bound." "Thmlat tha matter rest, I want -no explanation. I have seen s.nd know enough" "Bat Dr. Gasoolgne says the time has come when the truth can no longer be oonoeuled," she said, looking at me "sadly and wistfully, but speaking in a firmer voice. "He is here now, and if yon will not liiiten to me he insists on explaining everything himself." "In that case I will hear you," I said, constrainedly. And. ahe went on: "On. the morning of (ho day ahe died, Mrs. Eargreave confided to me a secret, little suspecting I already knew it. To prevent your discovering it I went, at your wife's request, in the same train as you lo Leicestershire. I I was disguised. You could not recognize me. I folio '.ced you to Tom Little's, and arrived only lust in time to make him break off his story " "H i told me how Mr. Hargreave had come by his death." "Not quite. He did not tell you what he had e nee before told me. He kept back by ny desire the faot that when that tsrrilie catastrophe took place Miss Hargreeve was that, alas, for years, ahe had been at times " "For heaven's take, don't seek to spare me; ' begin to see pretty clearly that I was tricked into marrying a mad woman. I can bear anything now save seeing you suffer thus. 'What Gasooigne had to do " "I mould tell you that Mrs. Hargreave took Dr. Gasooigne into her confidence from the first. When he saw Miss Hartireai e arrive at Glendale House he was titnuk with her resemblance to the girl he hid loved many a year ago; a girl who coffered in the samo way as your wife whoe e engagement to him was broken off on that account. He was interested in Miss Hargreave for the sake of that reneml dance, but still more deeply when he discovered she was the daughter of the wom an he had loved. He has always hope d she might bo cured, and considered that the crest dread and shame she enter

tain d lest yon should discover the sad troth made tnat nope almost a certainty. But lately she has battled all our efforts for lier good. "Last night Dr. Gas coigns found her in t most unsatisfactory state, but she Yielded to his entreatv that under eeriain circumstancet. he might send her to soma 'homo when maladies like hers are treated. You see now how yon misinterpreted their words! Alas, she requires the closest watching. That box marked 'books' that vou conveyed to her. con tain 4 There are different kinds of madness," Edna said, and, sinking her roios almost to a whisper, added, "here is dipsomania paricdio drunkenness innemoa nan Traitress! cried a voice that rang through tne room. A the same moment there was a sharp repc rt, a smoke, a low stifled cry, and Edna sank forward against my shoulder. The arras was raised at the very spot I had been so near investigating, and in the shadow of it stood my wife, the revolver just fired still smoking in her hand. With an expression of terrible malignity on her lacs, she held it pointed in tne same dire, t tion. Her finger was on the trigger. She wag abont to discharge a second barrel. I sound my arms round Edna. Bendtag ever her, I strove to cover her with my body. Thus shielding her my fascinated gaze fixed on the pistol I saw my wife suddenly alter the position of her weapon. She put the muzzle to her own forehead, fired, and fell like a log upon the floor. Georgie, my wife, lay dead. Edna, my love, had sunk fainting in my arms Aad here so far, at least, as I feel bound io make it public the .regie drama f liny life is ended. THE END.l Beware of the Quiet Kan. A big, burly man, with the form of a hBnvy-weight pugilist, says the New York Time,, was making himself exceedingly objectionable to the passengers on a Sixth avenue railway train recently. He sat with his lone; legs stretched clear aoross the aisle, his hat forward over his eyes, and a look on. bis facie which seemed to declare : "I'm a had man, see! I'm looking for trouble, and I don't care where it comes from." - Several passengers were unfortunate enough to stumble over the man's feet, and in return were profanely abused for doing so. There was not a man in the car who did not feel inolined to punch the fellow's head, but he looked too formidable. At Thirty-third street, however, the bully met liia match. A quiet-looking; little man, with the appearance of a prosperous young clerk, but who, in reality, was a wellknown teacher of fencing and boxing, entered, and as he made his way to one of the cross seats, encountered the outstretched legs of the objectionable person. Very politely the new. comer turned to him and said: "Sir, will you kindly draw in your feet so that I can pass?" The bully looked up to see who had made such an impertinent requost, and said to the inoffensive-looking man, after a string of oaths : 1 "111 do nawthing, seel If yer wants ter get by, you'll step over dose feet, and if youse got good -sense, you'll be careful how you does it." The little man's eyes flashed, and he said, in a tone very different to that he had previously used: "Sir, draw ia your feet!

Prefer small piollts and certain returns to large profits and uncertain settlements. Study the history of current events; make careful comparisons of the fluctuations in price, in demand, and in supply, in order to guide your own operations by the lessons these facts impart. Punctuality in money matters leads to prosperity and confidence and the basis of credit. In buying study carefully the wants of your trade, and buy with that end always in view.
