Mrs. Wrandall checked her. “You must obey me, if you expect me to help you. Don’t you understand that I have had a—a bereavement? I cannot wear these things now. They are useless to me. But we will speak of all that later on. Come, be quick; I will help you to dress. First, go to the telephone and ask them to send a waiter to —these rooms. We must have something to eat. Please do as I tell you.” Standing before her benefactress, her fingers fumbling impotently at the neck of the night-dress, the girl still continued to stare dumbly into the calm, dark eyes before her. “You are so good. I —I —”

“Let me help you,” interrupted the other, deliberately setting about to remove the night-dress. The girl caught it up as it slipped from her shoulders, a warm flush suffusing her face, a shamed look springing into her eyes. “Thank you, I can—get on very well. I only wanted to ask you a question. It has been on my mind, waking and sleeping. Can you tell me anything about—do you know his wife?” The question was so abrupt, so startling that Mrs. Wrandall uttered a sharp little cry. For a moment she could not reply. “I am so sorry, so desperately sorry for her,” added the girl plaintively. “I know her,” the other managed to say w’ith an effort. “If I had only known that he had a wife—” began the girl bitterly, almost angrily. Mrs. Wrandall grasped her by the arm. “You did not know that he had a wife?” she cried. The girl’s eyes flashed with a sudden, fierce fire in their depths. “God in heaven, no! . I did not know it until — Oh, I can’t speak of it! Why should I tell you about it? Why should you be interested in hearing it?” Mrs. Wrandall drew back and regarded the girl’s set, unhappy face. There w’as a curious light in her eyes that escaped the other’s notice —a light that would have puzzled her not a little.

“But you will tell me—everything—a little later,” she said, strangely calm. “Not now, but —before many hours have passed. First of all, you must tell me wh\> you are, where you live —everything except what happened in Burton’s inn. I don’t want to hear that at present—perhaps never. Yes, on second thoughts, I will say never! You are never to tell me just what happened up there, or just what led up to it. Do you understand? Never!” The girl stared at her in amazement. “But I —l must tell some one," she cried vehemently. “I have a right to defend myself—” “I am not asking you to defend yourself,” said Mrs. Wrandall shortly. Then, as if afraid to remain longer, she rushed from the room. In the doorway, she turned for an instant to say : “Do as I told you. Telephone. Dress as quickly as you can.” She closed the door swiftly. \ Standing in the center of the room, her hands clenched until the nails cut the flesh, she said over and over again to herself: “I don’t want to know! I don’t want to know!” A few minutes later she was critically inspecting the young woman who came from the bedroom attired in a street dress that neither of them had ever donned before. The girl, looking fresher, prettier and even younger than when she had seen her last, was in no way abashed. She seemed to have accepted the garments and the situation in the same spirit of resignation and hope; as if she had decided to make the most of her slim chance to profit by these amazing circumstances.

They eat opposite each other at the little breakfast table. “Please pour the coffee,” said Mrs. Wrandall. The waiter had left the room at her cojnmand. The girl’s hand shook, but she complied without a word. "Now you may tell me who you are and —but wait! Yoh are not to say anything about what happened at the inn. Guard your words carefully. I am not asking for a confession. I do not care to know what happened there. It will make it easier for me to protect you. You may call it conscience. Keep your big secret to yourself. Not one word to me. Do you understand?” “You mean that 5 am not to reveal, even to you, the causes which led up “Nothing—absolutely nothing,” said Mrs. Wrandall firmly. “But I cannot permit you,to judge me, to —well, you might say to acquit me —without hearing the story. It is so vital to me.” “I can judge you without hearing all of the —the evidence, if that’s what you mean. Simply answer the questions I shall ask, and nothing more. There are certain facts I must have from vQjj. if Lam. to. shield you.. You

must tell me the truth. I take it you are an English girl. Where do you live? Who are your friends? Where is your family?” The girl’s face flushed for an Instant and then grew pale again. “I will tell you the truth,” she said. “My name is Hetty Castleton. My father is Col. Braid Castleton of of the British army. My mother is dead. She was Kitty Glynn, at one time a popular music hall performer in London. She was Irish. She died two years ago. My father was a gentleman. I do not say he is a gentleman, for his treatment of my mother relieves him from that distinction. He is in the far east, China, I think. I have not seen him in more than five years. He deserted my mother. That’s all there is to that side of my story. I appeared in two or three of the musical "pieces produced in London two seasons ago, in the chorus. I never got beyond that, for very good reasons. I was known as Hetty Glynn. Three weeks ago I started for New York, sailing from Liverpool. Previously I had served in the capacity of governess in the family of John Budlong, a brewer. They had a son, a young man of twenty. Two months ago I was dismissed. A California lady, Mrs. Holcombe, offered me a situation as governess to her two little girls soon afterw’ard. I was to go to her home in San Francisco. She provided the money necessary for the voyage and for other expenses. She is still in Europe. I landed in New York a fortnight ago and. following her directions, presented myself at a certain bank—l hare the name somewhere—where my railroad tickets

were to be in readiness for me, with further instructions. They were to give me twenty-five pounds on the presentation of my letter from Mrs. Holcombe. They gave me the money and then handed me a cablegram from Mrs. Holcombe, notifying me that my services would not be required. There was no explanation. Just that. “On the steamer I met—him. Hip deck chair was next to mine. I noticed that his name was Wrandall — 'C. Wrandall’ the card on the chair informed me. I—” "You crossed on the steamer with him?” interrupted Mrs. Wrandall quickly. “Yes.” “Had—had you seen him before? In London ? “Never. Well, we became acquainted, as people do. He —he was very handsome and agreeable.” She paused for a moment to collect herself “Very handsome and agreeable,” said the other slowly. “We got to be very good friends. There were not many people on board, and apparently he knew none of them. It was too cold to stay on deck much of the time, and it, was very rough. He had one of the splendid suites on the—” “Pray omit unnecessary details. You landed and went —where?” “He advised me to go to an hotel — I can’t recall the name. It was rather an unpleasant place. Then I went to the bank, as I have stated. After that I did not know what to do. I was stunned, bewildered. I called him up on the telephone and—he asked me to meet him for dinner at a queer little case, far down town. We—"

“And you had no friends, no acquaintances here?” v “No. He suggested that I go into one of the musical shows, saying he thought he could arrange it with a manager who was a friend. Anything to tide me over, he said. But I would not consider it, not for a instant I had had enough of the stage. I —l am really not fitted for it Besides, lam qualified—well qualified—to be governess—but that is neither here nor there. I •'had some money—perhaps forty pounds. I found lodgings with some people in Nineteenth street He never came there to see me. I can see plainly now why, he argued it would not be—well, he used the word ‘wise.’ But we went occasionally to dine together.. We went about in a motor—a little red one. He—he told me he loved me. That was one night about a week ago. I—” "I don’t care to hear about it,” cried the other. “No need of that Spare me the silly side of the story.” "Silly, madaifi? In God’s name, do you think it was eilly to me? Whywhy, I believed him! And, what is more, I believe that he did love me—even now I believe it.” “I have no doubt of it,” said Mrs. Wrandall calmly. “You are very pretty—and charming.” "I—l did not know that he had a wife until—well, until—” She could not go on. ~ "Night before last.” The girl shuddered. Mrs. Wrandall turned her face away and waited. “There is nothing more I can tell you, unless you permit me to tell all/’

the girl resumed after a moment of hesitation. Mrs. Wrandall arose. “I have heaid enough. This afternoon I will send my butler with you to the lodging house in Nineteenth street. He will attend to the removal of your personal effects to my home, and you will return with him. It will be testing fate, Mias Castleton, this visit to your former abiding places but I have decided to give the law its chance. If you are suspected, a watch, will be set over the house in which is quite unknown, you will run no risk in going there openly, nor will I be taking so great a chance as may appear in offering you a home, for the time being at least, as companion—or

“I Am Challis Wrandall’s Wife.”

secretary or whatever we may elect to call it for the benefit of all inquirers. Are you willing to run the risk —this single risk?” “Perfectly willing,” announced the other without hesitation. Indeed, her face brightened. “If they are waiting there for me, I shall go with them without a word. I have no means of expreseing my gratitude to you so “There is time enough for that,” said Mrs. Wrandall quickly. “And if they are not there, you will return to me? You will not desert me now?” The girl’s eyes grew wide with wonder. “Desert you? Why do you put, it in that way? I don’t understand.” ■’You will come back to me?” insisted the other.

“Yes. Why—why, it means everything to me. It means life —more than* that, most wonderful friend. Life isn’t very sweet to me. But the joy of giving it to you for ever is the dearest boon I crave. I do give It to you. It belongs to you. I—l could die for you.” She dropped to her knees and pressed her lips to Sara Wrandall's hand; hot tears fell upon It. Mrs. Wrandall laid her free hand on the dark, glossy hair and smiled; smiled warmly for the first time in—well, in years she might have said to herself if she had stopped to consider. “Get up, my dear,” she said gently. “I shall not ask you to die for me —If you do come back. I may be sending you to your death, as it is, but it is the chance we must take. A few hours will tell the tale. Now listen to what lam about to say—to propose. I offer you a home, I offer you friendship and I trust security from the peril that confronts you. I ask nothing in return, not even a word of gratitude. You may tell the people at your lodgings that I have engaged you as companion and that we are to sail for Europe in a week’s time if possible. Now we must prepare to go to my own home. You will see to packing my—that is, our trunks—” “Oh, it—it be a dream!” cried Hetty Castleton, her eyes swimming. “I can’t believe —” Suddenly she caught herself up, and tried to smile. “I don’t see why you do this for me. I do not deserve—”

“You have done me a service,” said Mrs. Wrandall, her manner so peculiar that the girl again assumed the stare of perplexity and wonder that had been paramount since their meeting; as if she were on the verge of grasping a great truth. “What can you mean?” Sara laid her hands on the girl’s shoulders and looked steadily into the puzzled eyes for a moment before speaking. ■ "My girl,” she said, ever so gently, “I shall not ask what your life has been; I do not care. I shall not ask for references. You are alone in the world and you need a friend. I too am alone. If you will come to me I will do everything in my power to make you comfortable and —contented. Perhaps it will be impossible to make you happy. I promise faithfully to help you, to shield you, to repay you for the thing you have done for me. You could not have fallen into gentler hands than mine will prove to be. That much I swear to you on my soul, which is sacred. I bear you no 111-wilL I have nothing to avenge.” Hetty drew back, completely mystified. "Who are you?” she murmured, still staring. “I am Challis Wrandall’s wife.” (TO BE CONTINUED.) •

HELPFUL HINTS FOR HOUSEWIVES

Handy Combination of Oil Can and Runnel.

Any one who makes use of coal oil will see at once the great advantage of the combination oil can and funnel shown in the accompanying cut. which has been recently invented. The funnel is secured to the can by means of a ball, and there is also supplied a brace, which is secured to the can likewise, so that as the can is tilted for transferring the contents the funnel automatically falls into its proper place just under the mouth of the can. Care of the Sewing Machine. It is worth while bestowing all possible care on the sewing machine when working it or when nnnsetl. Don’t jerk either the handle or treadle, but work quite evenly. Keep the machine free of dust and properly lubricated, not soaked with oil, so that the grease is not splattered over the material or table. Throw off the driving strap and detach the driving wheel when not in use to prevent a meddlesome child from interfering with it. Always keep the cover locked and on no account place hot vessels of any kind oft the polished surface, which soon disfigure it. a condition that cannot be easily remedied. Wipe over occasionally with a clean chamois leather, wring out in tepid water and when dry iljoroughly rub in a little furniture
