CHAPTER XIII. (Continued.) In the merging of groups she thought the detected a desire on her husband's part to speak to her. which desire seemed constantly frustrated by the claims made upon his attention. But the day was not to end without further incident. A Mr. Ilazen, a contemporary and boyish friend of Stewart's cow married and settled down on the family place, about six miles from Orkwell. met with an accident. His skate caught on a frozen twig, and falling heavily, he broke his arm. There was a great fuss and rushing about, and rarious young women proffering "first Id" treatment were received with the usual distrust. Presently Stewart beckoned his wife aside. "I have sent fo Dr. Smith to come to the house, and am going to take jH&xen up there. He wants to get home a soon as the thing is set, and if he fcoes, I must drive him over. Anyway, I must go and see his wife. I do no; want to be out of the way just now, but there Is no help for it. Do you think you can manage them single-handed?" he asked anxiously. The stress of circumstances made him use an unconscious familiarity which had of late been dropped between them. I muSt do my best," she answered resolutely. "Tell me," he went on quickly, in a low voice, "did you pull through all right? All I could do was to get the others away, and to leave him to you." "I think it Is all right. It all depends on whether Norman heard him call me Miss Thome. I told the toy that I trusted him and what he must say about me. He is loyal, I am sure." To you, yes!" he answered with a smile that set her pulses throbbing. Stewart hurried away, and his departure was the signal for a general breakup. Among the others; Hudson bade a casual good-bye to her; but his eyes and the lingering touch of his hand said the rest. CHAPTER XIV. As the company sat about after dinner, Norman and Mathilde drifted from a discussion of the relative charms c' summer and winter landscapes into a refiew of their favorite pictures. Safe in an Impersonal topic, Mathilde had been talking a bit more freely than was her wont of late. "There are pictures of the year," she said, "that seem so marvelous at the time, and yet one thinks of them afterwards without ever wishing to see them again. Jean Beraud's 'Crucifixion on Montmartre' fascinated me when I saw it, and I could never pass it in that big end room without wondering over it; but one could never long afterwards for another sight of it as one Ipngs for Le Page's 'Joan of Arc or Duez's 'St. Francis of Assisi.' " Norman turned and looked her straight In the eyes, and before he spoke she felt, with incredulous surprise, the shock of the coming enmity. "You were in Faris, then," he said, and there was something in his slow, distinct tones that hushed the other speakers and turned them into listeners, "three years " ago, when that picture was exhibited. How much I regret that I did not know of your being there!' He was her open foe, then, and she knew that to venture on such a declaration of war he must have heard those words of Hudson's a few hours ago. For it could be nothing save a declaration of war when each person at that table knew his rpeech to be an accusation of deceit and falsehood. While Mathilde stared round helplessly, there was a general movement. Stew&re leaned forward fiercely: "What does it matter to you? he began, but Mrs. Herbert's voice, shrill Mid highpitched from excitement, overpowered his : "It seems a stranje time to have been traveling, when the child was photographed in the Northwest that spring, only two months old. It almost seems as though the voyage when that youth met 'Miss Thome must have been subsequent to that." It was like a transformation scene in a theater, the swif: change from wellbred calm to recrimination. Stewart was the first to spring to his feet, and the others Instinctively did the same. With grim face and a dull fire burning in his eyes, he said hoarsely: "You shall not insult my wife in my father's house!" But Mrs. Herbert's rage was now equal to his own. "Your wife?" she jeered. "How could Miss Thome in Paris be your wife in Canada? I am going to Sir James to ask if he wishes to have such women brought into his house. If he does, I shall leave it." She turned towards the door, but Stewart sprang before it. "You shall not leave this room on such an errand, he said. "Shall I not?" she panted mockingly, and swiftly turning, fled through the pantry door. Stewart, as transformed from his usual elf. as she, ground oat an oath. White and dazed, Mathilde graiped the back of her chair, while Nellie sat whimpering from fright, and clinging to Norman's arm. "She will kill my father If she bursts in on him like that. I must go to him," Jem said quickly. "Mathilde, I don't want you to stay in the room with that cur. Go upstairs until I come." "Cur!" Norman started forward, but he. met the look that Mathilde turned on him and shrank back. In after years he would have given much to have forgotten that look. "I am not responsible for what that virago says or does," he muttered uneasily ; but no one heeded him save Neily, who clung to him, crying: "Oh, Norman, dearest! Don't quarrel with him !" As Stewart was about to hurry off Mathilde gathered force to speak: "Waltr she cried. "You shall not Sistress Sir James for me ! I want nothig more from you or from him. Only it me go away." She hardly knew what she was saying, and Stewart hardly listened. 1 "I cannot wait to Ulk. Do as I said," he answered, and was gone. Mathilde looked it the two before her, as one looks at anything that is past and fone from one's life. She smiled slowly. "You have worked hard to do me harm, but I wonder what benefit you get by IL" "That remains to be seen," Norman answered with a brave attempt at his usual manner. "It was only self-interest that lea me Into war against you, for, believe fare, I liked you from the first." "I would must rather not believe It," she answered, and, turning, left the room. Swiftly her vague plans crystallized into decision. She had failed in the task that she had undertaken for Stewart, and with that failure their bond, which was only ons of self-interest, was broken. Without success she could not bear to keep for one day longer the benefits that he had heaped upon her. If she could only slip away now, without their meeting, and to-morrow be far away.

of Hearts JOHN o o o o Leslie Publishing House Sh might never see him again here a sudden sob shook her but anything was better than to know herself an incubus upon him. Her maid would be downstairs, and she might change her dress and get to the station in time for a late train. She could get her own old trunks at the Metropole, and by this time to-morrow she would be leaving Southampton for St. Malo. No sooner had she reached her room than she had flung off her evening dress and shoes, and proceeded to get herself into heavier things. Her own jewelry and the bank-notes, which by some queer prevision she had of late always kept by her, were shoved into a small bag then her furs, and she was ready. If or.ir Stewart did not com now. She opnI the door and looked out. The door of his room opposite was open and a light burning. With an uncontrollable desire, she loitered and went in. His glove was lying on the table where he had flung it down. She caught it up and hid it in her dress, and then cautiously crept down to a side door. But for her, she thought, and the mad scheme, which he must despise her for ever listening to, he might have done what he would evidently have wished to do,, married Nellie, and settled down to the life that was familiar to them both. He might have seen an heir grow up to replace the boy whom he had lost. "I have spoiled his life!" she moaned as she hurried on. A rush of cold air, and the purply gray darkness of the night, grayer for a moon which was yet hidden by clouds. As she was closing the door there was, a soft scurry and rush behind her, and the Irish terrier Nomad jumped on ; her, whining with delight. "Hush, Nomad, bush!" she whispered, as she drew the door to, and then, with that one bit of faithful love, her calm was broken, and crouching on the terrace steps, while sobs shook her body, she drew Nomad into her arms, and let him put his paws upon her shoulders and lick be face. a ; -.morrow she meant to wire Stewait Trom London; meantime her whole strength was set on getting away without notice. And so, wiping away the tears, she rose, and, with one last look up at the lighted windows, turned to a path that led across the park to the woods and thence to the little station. The dog frisked cheerfully round her, and U Mathilde had been Walking for pleasure she would have enjoyed the solitude of the winter night, so still that the intense frost was scarcely felt. But amateur solitude, taken up and dropped at will, is very different from a solitude which leaves all that one values in life behind. In the surrounding gloom and mystery, she seemed to be walking in the midst of a dead world, from which Cod's face was hidden, from which human love and faith and friendship were forever gone. Under ordinary circumstances, it would not have tired her to have walked the distance which she had already accomplished, but she had been skating all that afternoon, and felt, too, the stress of the agitation through which she had passed. She had thought her small bag a mere trifle to carry, but it began to seem much heavier, and her long sealskin coat was a garment more fitted for driving than wa-lking. The path now led down hill, where win ter rains had worn a channel, leaving many loose stones exposed. Twice she slipped on them, and recovered herself, but the third time she was less fortunate, and went down helplessly her full length Faint and sick from the fall, she lay without trying to move; but even then she knew that she had hurt herself, and when the made the first motion to get up, the knife-like pain in her knee showed her she was helpless. The pain brought a momentary faint ness, but Nomad's low whines as he licked her face aroused her, and, gathering all her strength, she worked herself into & sitting position where she could get her back against a tree. It was all that she could do. She was there, powerless to help herself, and, unless aid came soon, she would be frozen to death. She had heard that the end came peinlessly; perhaps it would be the best way out of it all. A strange fantasy came over ber, of the poem where the dying gir! directs her corpse to be carried back and set at her lover's door: "Look on me with thine own calm look. I meet it calm as thou. No look of thine can change my smile, Or still its calmness now." But already the cold was beginning to creep through her wraps, and the con straint of her position made the numb ness of her feet painful ; every part of her body ached, and she longed for the dreaminess that would be the beginning of the end. Twice she heard a church clock chime out, and she wondered if there had been any search made for her, They would hardly leave a lost dog to die uncared for on such a night, she thought bitterly. She tried to fix her mental vision on a center of light and glory from which the ineffable face of the Man-God looked out in welcome, but again she had wanfcre 1 back to the thought of Stewart gazing up on her dead face. She must try that it should be calm and smiling at the last ! '"Here, Nomad, here!" she said, and her hoarse voice sounded awesome to herself. As the dog crouched close to her, she drew her handkerchief from her pocket, and felt with her bare hands to find If there- were a monogram worked on it. Better still, she could tell by the outline that it was one that had "Ma thilde" worked on it in full. She knotted it as firmly as her numl fingers could manage to the dog's collar, and then, pointing up the band, said as clearly as she was able: "Hie on home, hie on I" But, althought the dog ran some distance, he still returned to hover around her, and she had no strength for another effort. Her mind was now far away a childhood's haunts at home, and one alia whispered "Mother !" Her head fell back against the tree, and Nomad sat beside ber, making the woods echo with his long, slow howls. Meanwhile, these hours that were such a long agony to Mathilde had been eventful ones at the hoi.se. There had never been but one persor at Orkwell who had witnessed one of Mrs. Herbert's outburs.'of temper, and he, her husband, was deau The servants stood aghast as she whirled past. Poor old Sir James, waiting for his man to put him to bed, was startled out of his doze before the fire by her wild entrance. At the swift torrent of invective which she poured out he cowered, and instinctively put his hand to the bell that summoned his attendant. "Go away !" she cried, pointing imperiously as the man appeared ; but he had been Sir James' valet for man years, and, although he knew that he was risking his place, held firm. "If you please, ma'am, Sir James has not been well all day, ud I don't think
he should be disturbed so near bedtime." "Go away !' she screamed again. "Sir James, will you allow this man to insult
me The poor old man whimpered : "No, my dear, certainly not. But I do feel very tired, and if you would just speak t9 Jem, I am sure it will be all right. Jem and Mathilde are here. It's all right with them here." Awed in spite of herself by the impenetrable veil of his infirmities, he stood silenced. "You see. ma'am, the master is rather hazy to-night," the servant ventured to put in, when a second time Ue door was flung open without warning, ind Stewart stood glowering at his enemy. "What are you saying to my father?" he demanded, sternly; but before she had time to retort. Sir James had risen to his feet with outstretched arms and a wild cry. "Jem, my boy ! All dead save you ! Don't leave me again !" and had fallen forward, unconscious, into his son's arms. "Send for the doctor, Stewart said shortly, as he and the man were bending over the stifX form, and Mrs. Herbert stole quickly away with the sting of re morse already piercing her armor ot sellrighteousness. It was more than an hour before tte confusion and susptnse were over, and Stewart had heard from the doctor that, although the end might not be immediate, any return to conscious ness was most improbable. Leaving the other inmates of the house to find this out as best they might. Stew-' art went off at once to his wife's sittingroom. The door was opened by Jeanne, who locked tired and worried. "Madame is here?" he asked, taking the answer for granted, but Jeanne gasptd. "No, Monsieur.' "Whv, where is she? he asked, with the first heavy promination of fresh troable. (To be continued.) A MISUNDERSTANDING. Yodok Bride Had Felt Neglected, IVrhap Without Ileaaon. Little .Mrs. Briggs was almost in tears, and for a bride, that was a ter rible condition. Yet as she sa in Mrs. Gilbert's dusky, candle-lighted library and poured out her grievances to a kindly . listener. It was so hard to fight them back. "And I know Miss Edgerly dislikes me very much," she went on. "At the faculty reception she would hard ly speak to me, though I must say she talked enough to Mr. Briggs. And some of the women haven't called yet, and, O dear, you can't tell how horrid It Is to be a stranger in a little, compact college town Jike thl3, where you all have your own settled inter ests and friends, and where a newcomer always feels that she's what the students call a 'Buttinsky' If she tries to do the least little thing. And I know a lot of them ct.n't bear me!" she ended fervently, if illogically. "But these are early days to Judge, dear child," put in Mrs. Gilbert, mildly. "And remember that I knew and felt, too, the same little petty stings that are hurting you now. I was a bride then myself, In a new community, a strange environment. That's why I don't tell you that you ire foolish I know, you see but that's Just why I want you to learn from my experience. Few of us ever rise to Immediate and universal popularity. Besides, people can't dislike you. You yourself have just said that they don't even know you yet!" "Well, anyway," little Mrs. Briggs flashed back, "Carol Edgerly's having a tea, for all the new people, too, and she hasn't asked us, and I think " She was interrupted by the front door-bell ringing loudly; then, In genial, informal Hillsover fashion, the library door was pushed open, and a brisk voice called out cheerfully: "I can't see, but Isn't Mr3. Briggs here? No, I won't sit down, thank you, Mrs. Gilbert. I'm not calling on you. I Just ran In to ask you, Mrs. Briggs, if you wouldn't help me at the tea I'm giving Saturday? I want you to pour the chocolate, and I want to tell you, too, that I've tried , and tried to get you on the telephone, and called ceaselessly, but you're never at home, O popular little lady of many engagements! Will you. help me? That's so good of you, and now I must fly. I've a thousand thlng3 to do In the next few days!" She whisked out of the room as impetuously as she had whirled in; then, when the door had closed, Mrs. Gilbert turned with a whimsical smile to Mrs. Briggs. "You see?" she asked. Little Mrs. Briggs sighed with happy relief. "I do." she said. "Only I don't deserve to pour chocolate at her house. I ought to eat humble pie there instead." Youth's Companion. Don't Bother Him.

n ?nvei Trying on lints. Whether the millinery .Uvice designed by a New York n.'ti will be as popular as it is Ingenious remains to be seen. Ac cording to the prevailing opinion of a woman's department in a millinery store, It does not seem likely. The device consists of a large card with an opening large enough to admit a wom an's bead. Auove Vila nnan Incr la natntpd hat Of SOmO particular design, while below is a design to represent a bust portion of a woman's waist. The idea is to have a millinery supplied with a painted reproduction of every hat In stock. When customers come in they look the hats over on their stands, and when they see styles they would like to try on stand in front of a mirror and put their heads in the card bearing the design of those particular pieces of headgear. Thi3 plan saves a great deal of wear and tear on hats and saves the customer a great deal of time, but whether it will be appreciated by the fair sex 13 a matter of grave doubt. Health and Beauty Hints; A flannel bag or hot alt Is very useful and comforting, not only for rheumatism, but for any muscular pain.

Lemon being an astringent, It 13 particularly good If the pores of the skin are enlarged. It Is excellent to rub on the yellow line on the neck where the collar ends. Be careful not to use lemon juice too continuously, as it sometimes hurts delicate skin. The habit of grimacing overexercises the mouth and draws unpleasant lines about It. The woman whose family tells her of this defect should count herself fortunate, and endeavor con tinually to check these mannerisms which threaten to disfigure her. It Is foolish to put drops In the eyes to give them an added luster, as this will, in the course of time.

Rub on only a very little, then finish with a vigorous rubbing with a coarse crash towel. Get Into bed, and we'll insure the quick arrival of "nature's quick -restorer, balmy sleep."

The soft materials are Ideal for such a purpose and the transformation re quires but little time, especially in the case of empire gowns, which fall almost of themselves Into the lines of the negligee.

Very few girls walk gracefully now adays, In spite of the craze for physical culture. The most generally noticeable faults are a forward droop of the head, sticking out of the elbows and scraping the feet. The girl who
walks with a forward stoop accentuates all these faults and lays herself open to various diseases as well. Because, If you slouch forward, you compress the lungs, and prevent proper expansions of tb chest. Consequently the lung3 are Insufficiently supplied with fresh air, and the body does not get enough oxygen for the requirements of health.
