Her Husband's Widow

Chapter XXII. . There was a moment's silence. Lealie heard her companion draw a deep breath, and looking out of the corner of her eye saw that she was holding tightly to the rail as if for support. She felt intensely sorry for her intenselr sorry, too, for herself. Yet it was something to have escaped so narrowly Identification as Steele's wife. "You do not expect me to attribute your presence here this morning to chance? ' went on Leslie, smiling bit- ; "No, I came over from Paris last night, and went to his rooms this 1 II. ....... ... ' T an M T nrAuM wait for him. "Then your telegram came. They left it on the table and" "You opened it!" "Yes. All's fair in love and war. Do you know" The woman made a step luwmu tut; uiuci nnu uftm muuud, bending her fingers as though ready to tear her flesh. Her voice rose to a scream. "Do you know that in Egypt I should have killed you poisoned or stabbed you for daring to take him away from me?" '.'From whom did you bear about the girl?" she inquired gently. ; i "It would not La fair to tell you. ' Someone I know heard it from another was at Hastings at the time. No one w knew that he-married 'the girl, lire ycu sure?" , "Quite sure." "But how can you be?" The ques- ? tion was put with agonized Intensity. "Do you know her?" ; "Yes, I know her. It was of her Vthat I wanted to speak to him this , morning. That is why I telegraphed. . The girl has labored under the impression that the marriage was void. . When I met Captain Steele at Jerusalem I I, of course, thought about ' her, and as soon as I got back to London I inquired of a lawyer if the ' marriage was valid. He said yes." "Does does this girl want to claim him?" asked Mrs. Melas hoarsely. "She must , do so; though it may mean her ruin." "You don't think Victor wants her, do you?" . ' ; Leslie shook her head and averted ,! her face. "I don't think so," she said, hardly above a whisper. Mrs. Melas seemed calmer now.'rShe walked up and down the-little gallery, evidently deeply, , considering some I problems She stopped, short and looked at Leslie. , .... " .-if "Has the girl actually claimed Victor yet as her husband?",; , "No. I told you that I was" about to speak to him on her behalf." "Very good of you, I'm sure; forcing a wife on him that he doesn't ' want." Mrs. Melas emitted a shrill, discordant laugh. "I see you are one of those good people who go about ' because it's their duty. When ,' did Victor meet this girl?" she asked ; abruptly. "In September four years ago. H m. well, I don't think your Hastings friend need trouble about Captain Steele. I advise her never to go near him or to let him know that she's " alive. "Why not?" "Well, he'll deny it, of course,- if you challenge him men are such liars." Mrs. Melas leaned with folded . arras upon the balustrade and stared Leslie steadily in the face. "But, you see, he and I were married in Egypt eix years ago two years before your penny farthing nursery maid appeared ion the scene." " "You mean to say that you are Victor Steele's wife?" said Leslie, wondering if she had heard . aright. The

liefs seemed to be. swaying strangely. , "That's, what I said." There was a ; note of defiance in Jenny's voice. Toes "that particularly worry youi?" .she-added with a sneer. " -i "Worry me!" An hysterical laugh "".st was half a sob escaped from the girl. She caught at the rail for support: "Worry me? Why should it? The woman who thought she was married to Captain Steele ought to be glad of - her release from such - a i scoundrel!" - : The last words came with something like a hiss. Mrs. Melas flushed hotly. "He "is not a scoundrel," she protested. "It's It's a long and involved story. C I can't tell you all the circumstances." She went on hurriedly, as if anxious ;to defend the man about whom she j, had made some damaging statements. '"He was very young at the time. It was done to protect me to get me out of a harem. - You wouldn't understandthe law out there is very ctmvplex." - ft- ' - "Marrying damsels in distress and then leaving them seems to be his i hobby," remarked' Leslie' lightly. ' Her ' voice sounded very far away.' I had ; gathered you encouraged' Sir Ralph Gavenston." r v - - i - -- - v

..HOW wwe toy . BEEH "I don't know what, that has got to no wna you, airs, varney, retorted Mrs. Melas fiercely, "unless you are in love, as I believe you are, with Victor yourself. If he and I do not choose to avow our marriage that's our business and nobody else's." "Pardon me," objected Leslie. "Oh, I know what you are going to say. Well, I'm not going to betray your young and Innocent cousin. Sir Ralph, , -i I; assure.; .you.; I .would be rather a lark, though, at this time of life! If you knew as much about that elderly buck as I do, you wouldn't waste sympathy on him. 'As for. Vic and I well, we never hit It, so we agreed each to go our own way. He is the best and truest man I know, so there." Mrs. Melas snapped her thin fingers In Leslie's face. "Really! Your experience must have been unfortunate. But spare me these raptures.." They walked in silence to the refreshment room, where Leslie ordered two cups of coffee In a matter-of-fact tone. She had a curious feeling that she might suddenly faint. .The coffee seemed to steady her nerves, j? "As faras -ia cAijeeftaed ther 13 nothing disgusting, I tell you," said Mrs. Melas, her smile freezing on her Jips. ' "You seen mighty concerned about this Hastings girl. -You say she didn't want to return to Vic she ought to be jolly glad when you tell her this. Did he do her any harm?" "Only by deluding her into the belief that she was his wife and then acquiescing in the report of his own death. That's all." Mrs. Melas crossed her knees and contemplated the tip of her. neat boot. "This affair has just as much importance as you choose to attribute to it," she remarked sulkily. "Victor and I have no wish to claim each other just yet if we do, we shall go through another form of marriage just to quiet the gossips. There's no occasion for you to let him know that I told you, mind ! " Mrs. Mela Wants to Stop All Gossip. She looked anxiously at her. companion. . . . .... '..... , j-: Leslie shrugged her shoulders, and then, shook her head. "I really can't promise you that," she said.. . "I may meet him. You cannot expect me to receive him on the old footing. I shall respect your secret so long as neither of you tries any other matrimonial ventures. 1 should advise you to prepare him by letting him know yourself that you have told me." "He will be awfully wild with me," said Mrs. Melas doubtfully. "I can imagine that. You can tell him that the girl he deceived will be very wild with him, also, and will most certainly never wish to see his face or to hear his name again." . Leslie checked herself.. Her passionate vehemence might betray the secret which by the merest fluke this woman had not penetrated. "6h ! " She rose abruptly and flung out her hands. "It's horrible. I never wish to hear anything more about it." She was aware of Mrs." Melas' downcast face. "I've no right to blame you, of course.' You have acted very generously', In defending him, and your Egyptian marriage I must leave to your own conscience." ' Her voice sank a little, Unable to endure the cold glitter of those unhuman eyes a moment longer she swung around on her heel and walked swiftly into the Assyrian Gallery toward the entrance. Half an hour later she was at Euston eagerly inquiring when the next train left for Scotland. It was stifling . to breathe the same air .as these people. She craved for the touch and sight of her child. No need to stint herself now! She had a right to spend Oswald's money. As she leaned back against the cushions of her first class carriage she told herself that she ought to be unspeakably relieved at this wholly unforeseen conclusion. j Mrs. Melas had cut the Gordian knot ; of her difficulties, but had cut. it with a sword' that pierced her heart. What a hypocrite the man had been! He had seemedto her as honest as the j day, so generous: so chivalrous: No doubt he had a hundred excuses. She ! could easily believe that his Egyptian marriage had been more of the woman's making than his he was several years younger than she and must have been a mere lad at the time; she could credit her. story that it had taken place under strange conditional ; r.v-, ., i Well, ' she j had every reason to . be grateful for what, that half -Oriental woman had told, her.. Her own and best of all Jimmy's position were ssured.y Yet oddly enough her legal status "of wife, which had seemed to her so precious twenty-four hours. before, she ndw but lightly prized- - - (To Be Continued.)
