NINA LAWSON. ’ e ! | CHAPTER XXXV—CONTINUED. | In ems week i little, slim figure, | dressed in deep mourning, stepped o!l‘i the train as it stopped at Chicage, and left the depot in search of some Tea- | sonably quiet boarding-house; this little wommm wae Tenora, and her heart t was assad as ever. ; Ske had coaxed Mrs. Bassett to ! promise never to say anything to any- | one sbout her being at her heusa so | long. and before she went away she | yßid Mrs. Bassett for all her trenlle | out of the hundred and fifty dollars | she bad when she left the Bristol man- | Bin. " The begutiful little woman in black | had no difliculty in securing a good | boarding-plaze, and the mext day she | started 100 the Noll cottage. It took | - every particle of strength she had to | go thers, but sh» thought perhaps Ger- | tana might be there, aud would treat | her kindly. i She heoped to get-all the information | from her that she wanted concerningi Noll, and Lenora believed that her old | friend would tell her everything—just l where Noll was, and whether it was he that had caused her all the trouble of the past two menths, It was no small effort for the lome, heart-breken wife te go to the very bouse where all her trouble began and l ring for admittance there. The door was opened by a male ’ servant, but not Henry, who was there | when she was a prisoner. How she | trembled as the door opered; her face l was closely veiled, or the servant would | bhave been startled at its ghastly white- ‘ ness and at the misery in those great, | dark, dreamy eyes. : “Is yeur mistress .at home?” she | agked, timidly, but the voice was so | low and sweet that the servant an- | swered kind!y. ‘ “Yes; please come in, and she will | see yow.” . - : ~ Lenora walked into the hall she knew so well. The servant took her to the 1 drawing-room, and everything there l was much as it was two vears ago. ‘ How her poer little heart fluttered i as she sat there waiting. By and by | she heard the rustle of silk, and a| faint flush dved her cheek at the - thought of seeing her old friend.once | more. As the [ady in the rustling silk | entered the room Lenora raised her | weil that. Gertana might kmow her, but | - —ah! How quickly the cheek paled | and how her keart leaped around as she | sawin the door a tall, queenly looking | middle-aged woman, with a few silver ; threads among the black heavy waves. | “I thought Madam Girindani still | lived here, but you are not her,” said | Lenora, in a strange, frightened voic:. l *“No, that is not my name, fortunate- | ly. Are you a stranger here?” | “Yes,” gasped the little visitor, now | took weak and frightened to raise her | voice much abeve a whisper, for the | voice that answered her was not kind, I and there was rather a cold, unfriendly | ldok in the woman's eve; but the pale, frichtened face of the little visitor, all | in deep. mourning, somehow brought ! . a more kindly look to thess large.l strange eyes. ; “You seem weak, and look as if you | wer: not feeling well. Is there any-‘ thing I can do for you? The people that lived in this house have been gone for a yvear.” , i - “Can you tell’'me where ?” i “I know but little about them, but 11 think that the man that owned it then | wdedd 7 il 3 “Dead@bs «5 » & f “Yes. He was shot, I think, over a | year ago.” | “Oh!” gasped Lenora. | “Why ? Was he a relative of yours?” | “No; he was nothing, to me, but | Madame Girindani was my very dear | iriend; where is she?” f “I do not know.” Lenora sat a few moments, gazing | m the face of the lady who had told her such bad news. 1 “You look as if you scarcely credited | just what I have said.” Q “Oh, I have no reason to doubt you. | I must go now.” 1 * She rosa to go, but before she! reached the hell door she found that | she was too weak to walk farther, and | sank wearily down in a large plush| chair, } “Ah! T see you are too weak to walk. ! Let me send for some wine for you.” “If you please. I thought I was | stronger, but it all has been so sad, and | Ihave been very sick lately.” -’ The prosent mistress of the cottage rang for a servant and ordered the | wine; it was soon brought, and Lenora | drank it. | It stimulated her a little, acd she . soon felt able to walk, and then left | the house, not knowing what to do. | She had intended to find out from Ger- | tana, if possible, whether it was Noll | that had killed her husband, yet she | knew that Gertana would not know | anything about it, but perhaps she | knew wherehe had been and what he | was doing. { If she had not been so disappointed, | and had found Noll there, she was going to put the whole affair in the hands of a lawyer, and see that Noll was punished for his erime; but, alas! all her plans were of no use: she was | consequently baffled, and all was now a greater mystery to her than ever. | _ In some way she succeeded in reachIng her boarding-house, where she remained for a month, seldom leav- | ing the house, and doing all that she | could to regain her strength. Her little roll ‘of bills was growing smaller aevery week, and she soon would be sompelled to seek employment of some | kind, but where and what she did not | know. \ ; CHAPTER XXXVL E The month l)a:_s;ed, but it had been

I wish | ten thousand timmes that I were out of | it, and to-day I could sper in paradise % with my darling. | “Oh, Father in heaven, why have yom forgotiem me, and when will this life of mine cease? I shall sbon be pennile:s, and then I cannot have a home even in a common lodging-house. | | I must get work of some kind, but I never can stay in this eity.. No, nos !the thoughti of being here would bring | up the past too vividly, and now I must try and forget as much of it as possible. How I should love te go to my | dear old home in the valley! Butwmo; ' | I would starve now rather than go l there, with my life blighted and darkened as it ils. 1 will leave this place, l and get as far away from it as pessible; there will be something for me to do | in New York and I will go there. Sucha I | large, busy city as that certainly has ' room .and employment for one more, ] and I will go.” 3 | A fewdays after she deeidad to leave [ { Chicago she took a train for New York, | ' hoping that she could find work, aud | in that way perhaps she would forget | her troubles. Poor, inexperienced little | wife! She had mever soucht for mn-! pleyment before, and know but little | how to manage. She had secured a | ilittlo room on the fourth floor of :mi old house, in & net wery enticing street. She could afford no better, for her ‘money would seqn be all gone, and she did not know where she would be able | to get work. ' There was an advertisement in one ! of the daily papers for a governess, in | good family, to teach in English and | %rench. ! Lenora answered it immediately, and | gave her name, Mrs, Bristol. The fami- | ly that wanted the governess wanted a | recommendation of course. i ““Have you your recommendation | with you? and where were you before? | and how longhave you been governess ? | and how old are you? and are yeur | parents living ? amd how long has your l husband been dead? and what did he | do while living ?” ete. | This great volley of questions fright- | ened Lenora, and she felt more like ! crying than answering. Os course she | had no recommendation, no parents, | and had never been governess, and as | for telling .anything about her lost | darling, that she would not and could | not do. Os course, as she could an- | swer none of these uestions, she was | dismissed and compelled to return to | her lome, dingy room, sadly discuur-‘. aged. She went in answer to a great mamy | advertisements, but ceuld not secure a | position, because she eould turnish no | recommendation and had nevor worked | belore. : i A month had gone by, and she had | not foumd anvthing to doasyet; she | did not think of putting that sweet | voice of hers to use in a theater, ov of | applying in a faetery for employment. | She had offered to do housework, but | her little. soft, white hands did not | seem to suit, and she was turned away everywhere. Two weeks more passed, ‘ and most of the time now was spvnt! in erying; her elothes were getting shabby, and she was behind two weeks | in her room-rent, and then had searee- | ly enough money to keep her ifrom ; starving. | “Oh, what shall I—what ean I dc?*i I wish I was dead. Ewerybody is so | cold and cruel, and I cannot get em- | ployment. I have but ten cents lett, | and no way to get any moye.” ; Just then there eame a rap on the | door, and she hastily dried her tears | and opened it. Her landlady stood | there, with o eross, ugly face. 1 “Come in, please.” : [ The big, fat, coarse woman walked | in and shut the door, placed her broad | back cgainst it, and then looked | Lenora straight in the face. “This room must be vaeated to-night | unless the rent is paid before six. It | is a great mystery to me that a woman | can wear fine diamond rings and not pay a little room-rent. ' Yes, if you do | not hand me the money ‘before six you | must go. Do you nnderstand ?” ‘ “Yes, I understand you quite plainly: | but T wonld not tell a falsehood, and | when I say T have not the money 1| speak the truth. As for my diamond : rings, they were presents to me and I| would not like to part with them.” Lenora was now quite pale, and! trembling, and the cunning old land- | lady saw it. She believed that Lenora | had money, but wanted to cheat her | | out of the rent. ; | . “I can take one of the rings as se- | | curity until you pay what you owe me. | - Who gave ‘em to you, anyway ?” 1 ’ “One was my mother’s and the other | was given me by my husband.” ; “Ehl. It’s a pity-if--you - had such | wealthy people and can’t pay two or| three weeks’ board; a pretty how-de-do, T tell you.” i ~ Lenora was growing so nervous over ' the old woman’s talking that she was | ' afraid she would faint, and in order to ‘ | get rid of her in some way she said | i she would try and get the money and hand it to her before six. | The old lady then left the room, - mumbling something about fine folks, | Lut as Lenora did not eare to hear, she | did not listen. | After sitting there for some time, she ] ' did not know how long, she drew her | wateh from her pocket to see what time it was. | | “Hali-past four. and yet I have not | 'the money; oh, what shall Ido? I can't walk the street.all night, or lie | out in the eold, and T won’t' give up | either of these rings, or my watch, | either, for poor darling gave me that. ' No, no; I can never part with them. I have but one dress besides, this that T have on, but perhaps I shall be able to , get work somewhere before this ils worn | out, and then I can gef another. I shall have to either pawn that or sleep in some alley to-night, and I fear poor darling would see me from his home on | | hich, and surely it would make him | | feel sad. Yes, I will pawn my dress and pay the rent.” | | The dress was black silk, worth | about fifty dollars, but she knew that ; she could not get near that much for | it. but she would do the best she could. She had not had anything to eat since
