4W 1 JOY / MZO"“ IM J ,k CHAPTER XXIII —Continued James Wyatt paced hi; room in the darken ng . hadows, deep in thought. - - ..-Jie J)a-j sent a poisoned ba: bto the heart of the man ho hate 1, and he was I glad. There was-not a potty slight of I days gone by, not a small insolence, I for which he had not paid himself I handsomely by to night’s work; but it was not to avenge the millionaire’s petty slights and small insolences, not to uplift the wounded crest of his own self-esteem, viper-like, that ho had stung his enemy. His hatred of Gil- i bert Sinclair had a deeper root than I wounded pride. Disappointed love was its source. Hut for Gilbe t Sinclair ho might have been loved by the one : woman whose regard he valued. Clara ' Walsingham's constancy to her old rover was the offeree that made Gilbert loathsome to his quondam friend, :

and it was to gratify’ his own jealousy that he had aroused the demon of jealousy in his rival's breast. “He shall know the flavor of the anguish he has caused me,” thought । Wyatt, “if his coarse soul can suffer as I have su tiered for a woman's sake, i Whether his wife is guilty or innocent, matters nothing to me. The pain will ! be his. If he were man enough to blow his brains out, now, there might lo a chance for me with Ciara. So long as he lives she will cling to the hope of i winning him back. Where is sho hiding, I wonder, and what is her

Scheme of life, while I am wearing my life out for her sake?" _ Mr. Wyatt had not seen Mrs. Wallingham since th^t interview in which she had refused to keep faith with him, flinging h r promise to the winds. He had gone to Half-Mo n street on the following Saturday evening, determined to make peace with her at any’ sacrifice of his own dignity, with the slavish pertinacity of a man who passionately loves. He had driven up to the door, expecting to see the lighted windows shining out on the wintry street, to hear Herr Klavierrchlager pounding the Erard, and the hum and twitter of many voices, as iso went up the narrow 'flower-scented staircase; bat ti iuaaurerise the win-

S aples, the butler, came in with the 1 lamps, shut the solid oak shutters, cleared the tables, and brought himaster a cup of coffee. all in an orderly and respectable manner that was wcll worth lii- sixty punis a year. Mr. Wyatt was a man who would not have kept a bad servant a week. and never parted with a good one. The postman s knock : ounded on the j ponderous door while Mr. Wyatt was sipping his coffee. and Staples camo in with several letters on a silxet waiter. James Wyatt spread them out before him thoughtfully, a- if the., were card and hi were calculating their value.

He did not see Conetance until the next day. anu by this time had regained the mastery ot himself. The position of affai s between

husband and wife since Mrs. Sinclair’* recovery had been a kind of arm d neutrality. Gilbert had never alluded to that awful day on which he had raised hi; hand against his wife mr had Constance. Dodbtful whether she remembered that unhappy occurrence and deeply ashamed of the brutaHtJ into which passion had betrayei K Mr. Sinclair wisely kept his own counsel. To apologize might be to make a revelation. His remorse showed itself by increased civility to his w>’fe ami a now doforenco to her feoH±', I which sho wa; duly grateful. Gentle । submissive always, she gave her hus? band no cause of offense, save that one rankling sore which ha I begun to mill j him directly the triumphant sense’ of । passion had lo t it; power to satisfy [ -—the consciousness that he had never won her heart. The smoldering lire needed but a spark of jealousy to rai-e a fatal flume. Constance expressed herself much i pleased at Goblin's success, when Gilbert annou: ced the fact, with very little elation, on the day after the race. I 1 hey wore dining together te.e-a-tete m the si aeious paneled room, which 1 seemed so much too big ,or them. I 1 hose ceremonious late dinners wore ( ns’ance s aversion.
