For some minutes—thro i or four, perhaps, and so brief a space of time makes a lomrish pause in a critical situation Gilbert S-nciair kept silence. Sir Cyprian, stand ng with his l ack against one end of tho ve vet-covered mantel-pie e, waited with p> ite tranquillity. Not 1y a woid or gesture did he attempt to hurry his guest. “Look you here, Sir Cyprian,” Gilbert began, at last, with savage abruptness. “If we had lived in the dueling days—the only days whin Englishmen were gentlemen I th old have sent a friend tn you to-night instead of coming myself, and tho business might have been arranged in the easiest manner possible and settled decisively before breakfast to monow. But as our new civLization does m t allow of that kind of thing, and as I haven t quite strong enough evidence to go into the divo co court, I thought it was better to come straight to you and give you fair warning of what y u may expect in the future.” “Let us suppose that dueling is not an exploded custom. We have France and Belgium and a few other countries at our disposal if we should make up our mil ds to light. But I should like to know the ground of our quarrel before we go into details. *

“I am glad you are man enough to figtit me,” answered the other, savagely. “I don’t think you can require to be told why I should liket > kill you; or, if you have been in doubt about it up to this moment, you will know pretty clearly when I toll vou that 1 saw jump off the balcony of my wife’s sum-mer-house this afternoon. “I am sorry that unceremonious exit should offend you. I had no other way of getting back to Marchbrook in time for my train. I should have had to walk the whole width of Davenant Park and about a mile of high-road, if I had left by the summer-house •door. ” “And you think it a gentleman-like thing to be in my neighborhood for a m a -™ id my house, and to ‘ n f Oobv i us’.^desth ely in a lonelv ■ ,' c h aj//’ ■ ^.Jande.^ine meeting. ■ a Hupp<>- । ■ if proof were needtt , • I x sact —your tin worm tI wi e.

T team Mrs. Sinclair singing heard the bitter cry which grief -a mother’s sacred^rief—wrung from her in her s 1itude, and followed the i i pulse of th • I moment which prompted me to ton- I sole a lady whom I knew and loved ! when she was a child.” “And afterwards, when she had j ceased to be a child a few months be- | fore she became my wife. Your attachment was pretty well known to the i world in general, I believe. It was! only I who was left in ignorance." “You might easily have known what ; the world knew all there was to be known—simply nothing.” “You deny that you haedone meany : wrong? that I have any right to ask i you to fight me?” “Most emphatically, and I most distinctly refuse t > make a quarrel on any .ground connected with your wi e. But you will not find me slow to resent an insult should you be so ill-advised a- t> provoke me. As the friend of (’ instance Clanyarde I sha’l be ever rea ly to take up the cudgels for Constance Sinclair, even against het husband. Remember this. Mr. Sinclair, and re- i member that any wrong done to Lord i Clanyarde’s daughter will be a w.ong that I shall revenge with all the power I God has given me. She is not left | solely to her husband's tender mer- I cies. ”

Even the dull red hue faded from Gilbert Sinclair's cheeks a- he confronted the indignant s. eaker. and left him livid to the very lips. There was a dampness on his forehead, too. when he brushed his large, strong hand across it. “Is this man a craven?" thought Sir Cyprian, remarking these signs of agitation and fear. “Well,” said Sinclair, drawing a long breath. “I suppose there is no m 're to be said. You both tell the same st ry —an innocent meeting, not preconcerted—mere accident. Yes. you have the best of me this time. The unlucky hu-band generally has the worst of it. There's no dishonor in lying to him. He's out < f court, poor beggar." “Mr. Sinclair^ do you want mg to ' throw you o w+nttnTf?" t much care if you did. ^*umei e was a sull i. misery m the answer and in the very look of the man as he sat there beside his enemy's hearth in the attitude of dull apathy, only looking up at intervals from his vacant state at the fire, which touched Cyprian Davenant with ab-olute pity. Here was a man to whom Fate had given vast capabilities of happiness, and who had wantonly- thrown away /ill that is fairest and best in life. “Mr. Sinclair, upon my h mor. I am sorry for you,” he sai I, gravely. “Sorry -for your incapacity to ie ieve in a n - c ble and pure-minded wife; sorry that Elayou should poison your own life and your wife’s by doubts that would ne er ~ enter your mind if you had the power U- to understand her. Go home, and let

ue>, your wife never know the wrong you , i, jiave done her.” - “My wife! What wife'? £ have no J wife,” said Sinelair,” with a strange r smile, rising and going to the do r. “That's what some fellow savs in a, play, I think. Good-night, Sir Cyprian Davenant, and when next we meet £

hope it may be on a better-defined feotHe left the room without ano her word. Before Sir Cyprian's bell had summoned the smooth-faced valet, the street door shut with a bang, and Gilbert Sinclair was gone. Sir Cyprian heard the doors of the hansom clapp d to, and the smack of tho weary driver’s whip, as the wheels rolled up the silent street.

“What did he mean by that speech about his wife?” won ored Sir Cyprian. “Ihe man koked like a murderer!” He did not know that at this mo nent Gilbert Sinclair was half afraid that brutal blow of his might have keen fatal. CHAPTER XIX. Mas. WALSINGHAM BREAKS FAITH.

Christmas, which, in a c mm m way, blings life and bustle, and the gathering of many guests to g tod old country hous:s, bought my gloom and solitude to I?avenant. Mr. s n lair’s visitors had depat te 1 suddenly, at a single Hight, like swallows be ore a storm in uuti inn. Mrs. Sinclair wa , very ill seri usly 11!—mysterious'y ill. Iler nearest friends shook their heads and looked aw.ul things when they talked of her. It was menta', they feared. “I’oor dear thi ig! Th s comes of Lord Clanyarde’s g ceThiess in getting rich husbands or all his daughters.” “The <ld man is a regular harpy,” exclaimed Mr.-. Milla nount, with a charming indiffe ence to detail. And then these fashionable swallows skimmed away to fresh woods and pastures new—or rather fresh billiardrooms and other afternoon teas, evening part songs and morning rides in rustic English lanes, where there is beauty and fragrance even in midwinter.

Constance had been missing at afternoon tea on the day of Gilbert s sudden journey to London, but her absence in the co y morning room where Mrs. Millamount amused the < irclo by the daring eccentricity of her discourse was hardly a subject of won le "She has one of h r nervous haadach s, no doubt, poor child,” said Mrs. Millamount, taking possession of the tea-tray; “she is just the k nd of w< man to have nervous h adaches." “I’ll give long odds you don’t have them, ’ said Sir Thomas Houndslow, who was lolling with his back against tho mantelpiece to tho endangerment of the porcelain that adorned it

“Never had headache but once in my j life: and that was when I came a cropI per in theku nmcountry," r plied Mrs. I Millamouut. graciously. Vapors have given way to feminine i athletics, and there is nothing now so dowdy or unfashionable as bad heath. When the dressing-bell rang and Miss Sin lair was sti 1 absent, Melanie Dupont began to think there was some came for alarm. Her mi-tress was punctual and orderly in ail her habits. She had gone to walk in the park immediately after luncheon, quite three hours ago. Sho hail no idea of going beyond the park, Melanie knew, and sho only wore her .eul-skln picket and a garden h’.t. She might have gone to Ma-chb: oak, perhap*, in this careless attire, but not anywhere else, and her visits to Marchbrook were verv rare.

Melanie was puzzl’d She went down stairs ami sent a couple of grooms in queri of her mistress. Th 1 ga dvn ers had all gone hem * at 5 o’«’l*»* k. “You had Iwttcr look in th*'Kumm<Thous > by th- fir plantati n " said M lanie. "I know Mrs. Sinclair spend- a deal of her time th re.

Mrs. Sinclair groan? I fainth a- they rai ed her from the ground, and this was a welcome sound, for they had almost thought her dead. There were some (lowers in a vase on the table an 1 the elder groom dipped a handkerchief in the water and dabbed it <n Mrs. Sinclair s forehead. “I wish l‘d g t a drop of spirit in my pocket." he -aid: "a sup of brandy might bring her round, perhaps Look about if you can see anything in that way. Rogers." Rogers looked, but alcohol b ng an unhnown want to Mrs. Sinclair there was no convenient bottle to b- found in the summer-house. She murmured something inarticulate, a d the locked lip- loos.-ned and trembled faintly as the g oom bathed her forehead “Poor thing, she must have had a fit.” said the e der mam “Apocalyptic, jerhaps,” suggested Rogers. “We'd better carry he • back to the house between us. She's only a featherweight. poor little thing.” So the two grooms conveyed Mrs. Sinclair gently and carefully back to Davenant, ami contrived to carry her up to her ro >m by the servants' -taircas ■ wit...out letting all the house int > the secret. “If it was a lit, she won't like it talked about,” said the head groom t > the housekeeper, as he refreshed himself with a glass of Glenlivet after his I exertions. I “Ma tor's gone up to London, too,” I said the housekeeper; “that makes it । awkward, don't it? 1 should think i somebody ought to telegraph.” | Melanie Duport took charge of her | mistress with a self-possession that i would have done credit to an older ; woman. ■ She sent off at once for Dr. Webb,

who came post haste to his most important patient. Tne Doctor found his patient weak and low, and her mind wandering a little. He was much puzzled by that contusion on the fair forehead, but Constance could give him no explanation. "I think I fell,” she said. “It was kind of him to come to me, wasn’t it, for the love of o‘d times;” “It must have been a very awkward fall," said Dr. Webb to Melanie. “Where did it happen*” Melanie explained how her mistress j had been found in the summer-house. 1 “She must have fallen against soma [ pic. e of furniture, something with a blunt edge. It was an awful blow. She is very low, poor thing. The system has received a severe shock. ” And then Dr. Webb enjoined the greatest of care, and questioned Melanie as to her qualifications for the post of nurse. Mrs. Sinclair was not to be left all night, and some one else must be got to-morrow to relieve Melan'e. It was altogether a serious case. . Gilbert Sinclair returned next morn* ing, haggard and gloomy, lo iking like a man who had spent a night at the gaming 'able with fortune steadily adverse to him. He met Dr. Webb in the hall, and was told that his wife was seriously ill. “Not in danger?” he ad<ed, eagerly. “Not in immediate danger.” “I thank God forthat.” It seemed a small thing to lie thankful for, since the surgeon’s tongms-WWii. not very hopefu', but Gilbert binelair had been weighed down by tho apprehension ci something worse than this.

passed the senate. MEASURE GETS A MAJORITY OF FIVE VOTES. Senator Hill Caata the Only Democratic Vote Against It-Presldent and Federal Judcea Must Pay Tax on Their BalarleaTo lake Effect August 1. Vote of 39 to 34. In the midst of intense excitement, after having been debated for three months and one day, the tariff bill, amended to take effect Aug. 1, 1894, passed the Senate by a vote of 34 to 39 —a strict party vote, except Mr. Hill, who voted with tho Republicans against tho measure. The Populists divided their strength, Kyle and Allen voting in favor of tho bill and Peffer and Stewart against it. At the very opening of tho last day of the great strugg e. says a Washington dispatch, Mr. Harris, in charge of tho bill, announced that it would pass that day, or there would be no Fourth of July L r tho Senate of the United States. Until evening there were no sensational incidents. A hard, but hopeless fight wat made by the Republicans under the leadership of Mr. She: man to place wool on the dutiable list. Through the instrumentality of Mr. Mcl aurin (Dem., Miss.) the action of the committee of the whole in exempting the salaries of United States Judges an I the President of tho United States from the opo.ation of tho income tax was reversed in the Senate. A very important piece of legislation in the shape of an anti-trust law was placed on the I ill as a rider without even so much as a division. It ’.'as designed, as Mr. Voo hees, Cha rman of the Finance Committee, said, t > insure integrity in execution of the law, it being admitted ihat any tariff system afforded abundant opportunity for the formation of trusts and combinations. The galleries were filled to overflowing, many prominent ladiei and gentlem n being present to witne s the fii al disposal of the bill, and the scene was tru y a brilliant one. Half a hundred members of the House were on the floor. It was amid such surroundings that tho climax occurred, when Senator Allen, of Nebraska, denounced the Democratic members of the Finance Committee and charged them with lad faith in taking advantage of his ignorance of parliamentary proce-

dure to induce him to offer tho ame idment, thus releasing their Demo ratio colleagues under th*- caucus agreement from voting forth m. He intimated that he had liecn tricked. Mr. Vest, on behalf of the committee. hotly denied the charges, and upbraided Mr. Allen. Mr. Manderson, Mr. Alien’s Republican colleague from Nebraska, seemed to enjoy tne plight of his associate, and warned him to beware before he again allied himself with the Democrats. Mr. Jones of Arkansas a’so challenged the truth of Allen's statements, and scored him for atten.pting t > place the committee in a false light For an hour after tho excit ment caused by this exchange of criminations occurred . the proceedings we e extremely dull Hill Ilmounrr* Income Ihi. As the hands <»f tho clock drew tu ward tho hour of lo the final speeches l* gan. Mr. Allen, somewhat to the wonderment of the galleries aft-r his outbreak early in the evening, told the Senate why ho hud conch d d to vote for the bill. The most dramatic incident of tho n ght occurred when he took his seat an 1 Mr. Hill aro-o and in ringing un-1 fervid tones entered an eloquent pr to t against the ‘income tax." ami a raignod his party ass.x'iut.s for being false to their party pledge - and th* ir count y. The Republicans drew around b in as he sp ko, tho galleri* s lo med over as he dealt his sledge-hammer blows. When in conclusion ho declared theatrically that ho would m t supwt t tho bill a wave of applause, quickly checked by tho Nice 1 ’resim-nt, swept over the gal cry. A final word of pr test followed from A’dr eh. ( handler and Manders n. '1 he Lill was placed upon its pas-age and the roll was called. I p n the announcement of the vote.
