('rushing the green leaves and sweet blossoms under his feet, trampling clown the smiling (lowers, beat ing aside the trailing sprays, his heart beating, his brain on tire, Sir Mare hastened aeross tin- park. It seemed to him that the whole world had suddenly crumbled to ruins. He muttered bitter, terrible words to himself. If the stars had fallen from heaven it would have surprised him less than the fact that Veronica had done wrong his ideal, the one pure, noble, gentle soul in whom he had placed alibis trust. All that was beautiful, poetical, maiI.. ~ ...1 I vicin> ami cuaiiiMiig scemeu in DC vested in her; and now his ideal hud been rudely destroyed. " 1 will never believe in any human lieing again while I live," lie. said to himself "never! So fair, so beaut iful, so loving, so tender, yet so lost to all sense of what is right! I will never look again at woman's face!" lie reached the railway station ail Hurst wood and there, half hidden by a long black veil, lie saw Clara Morton. She rose as lie came up to her. "It is well," he said, "thatyou are a woman; if you were a man I would horsewhip you!" There was such tierce, hot anger In his yyes t hat she shrunk back. "You need not fear," he added scornfully. "(Jive me your proofs, name your price, and then never let your shadow fall across my path again." Dealing with a man was different from frightening a delicate, refined girl, ClarA Morton found. She began a whole string of excuses. "Not one word," la* said. "Simply repeat the sto^?. Let me hear all the details, and then give me your proofs and name your price." She told him the story, and then added: "My proofs are charred remains of the parchment that 1 took from the lire, on which you will plainly see these words, 'Last will and testament of Sir Jasper Brandon.'" "what do you want for it?" he asked contemptuously. "It Is not for myself. Sir M^rc?it is not Indeed. 1 want live hundred pounds." "You are modest in your demands, certainly, and you have ruined But why should 1 waste words upon such as you? It l give you the sum you name, you must not, only surrender what you are pleased t o call your proofs, but you must take an oath to call your proofs, but you must take an oat h to keep the secret and leave England. If you return -listen to my threat?if you dare to return and address by letter or by word of mout h t hat hapless lady, I will have you indicted for conspiracy, and your sentence will probably be bard lat>or for life. As to your conduct, it is so utterly, horribly jSase, 1 have no patience to speak of it." The woman murmured some words. Me did not even listen to them. "I have no wish to hear more," he said. "I will give you a check for live hundred pounds on condition that you give me your proofs and take the required oath. Tremble if you dare to break it?tremble if your false wicked face is seen here again!" He took out his cheek-book, and going into one of the station otlices, made out a check for the sum named On returning he placed it quietly In her hands, and she gave him the packet containing the charred fragments of the will, and took t he oath upon which he had insisted. Silently he pointed to the great open gates, and she passed out of them. They never met again. As she passed out of the gatv s, so she passed out of his life. Whether the punishment of her wickedness ever came in this world he never knew. Then Sir Marc went away to lx>nrlnn XVIuit t/> '1a i. i ...... . . ....V VV MU > lull llllllM'il lie could not tell, lie felt that it was Impossible for him lo take up the broken thread of his life> .In the first hot angry flush of his disappointment he had not realized what life without Veronica would Ik;. Now that it J stretched out before him in all its < chill, terrible reality, he was at a loss how to endure it. There were times < even when he almost wished that he had forgiven her. Then he recoiled from the thought. How could he love < a woman to whom the word "honor" was an empty sound? Sir Marc was most unhappy. lie read with a stony face all the paragraphs which said that there was no emulation for the rumor of the approaching marriage of Sir Marc Caryl 1 -that he was going abroad. I le made no complaint., no moan; but he owned to himself that his life wits ended, lie would close Wervchurst Manor, and spend tlie remainder of his days where nothing could remind him of t he love he had lost. There was to l>e no angel in the house for him. He knew that he must love Veronica until he died that no one else could ever take her place ?that no one else could ever be to him what she had been. Had she died. It seemed to him that his grief would have been easier to bear. That he would have retained all his love; now his love must go, while he was stranded. Life had lost all its attraction for him. He had freed Veronica from her bondage?of that he was pleased to think. No one could frighten her now. She was quite safe, and the 1 terrible secret was dead and burled. .. M ^ T fNED\ AT MYRTLE q. BEACH. r;. . J.

(.heat had been the consternation at (Queen's Chare when Lady Hrandon, in few curt words, said that Miss di Gyntha's wedding was postponed inclifinitely. The worst of it was there came no solution to the mysterj whether there had been a quarrel or not no one could say. All that was known was that Sir Marc laid left quite suddenly one day, and that two or three days afterward those interested had been told to cease ail preparations for the'wedding. No one was more astonished than Katherine when hei mother told her the news; and at ilrst she refused to believe it. "There is some mistake, mama," she cried; "1 would more readily believe that Alton did dot. care for me." " t'nfort unately there is no mistake," said Lady Hrandon sadly. "Whose fault is it?" inquired Katherine. "Not Veronica's? I am quite sure that Veronica loved Sir Marc mofe dearly than 1 can tell, it always seemed to me that her love was her life. It cannot he Sir Mare's for he loved t lie very gtound she stood on. 1 cannot understand if, mama. What (iocs veronica say?" "Nothing. She only looks unutterably sad and miserable, and licgs of me not. to talk about it!" "I will go toher myself,"said Katharine impulsively. "It is useless, Katharine," returned Lady Hrandon. "She will only lie more miserable t ban ever." . Hut Kat herine would not be eont rolled. She hastened up to Veronica's room and found her favorite standing by the window. "My darling, you have been ill!" she cried. "Mamasays t hat you fainted." , Then she started, for Veronica had ' turned round to greet, her, and the ; change that had come over her was so terrible that the young heiress was . shocked. Veronica's face was pale and ' worn, the dark eyes were tearless, but there was in them a look of fathomless , woe! ( "Veronica," cried the girl, "it is | true then! I can sec from your face . that it is true; there is no need to ask a | question. You and Sir Marc have , parted!" "Yes," she said drearily, "we have parted, Katherinc not for an hour, a day, or a year, but forever. i "I will not believe it! What has | come between you who loved each , other so well?" "I cannot tell you," replied Veroni- ' ca, with a long low sigh. "You must tell me," declarrcd ' Katherinc. "I want to help you. 1 ' could not live and know that you were unhappy, Veronica. 1 must follow Sir Mare and bring him back." "I cannot tell you anything about < it. Katherinc," said Veronica. "And yet I may tell you this, lie asked me t w w avuiuunng lor mm, and I refused t he placed the alternative of parting t Ix'fore ine, and I took It. You will ask me nothing more?" 1 "No," she replied musingly "that < is, unless you like to trust ine more > fully." 1 "1 cannot," said Veronica, with a shudder: "he has gone, and we shall t not meet again in this world; yet I r was worthy of his love. To me It seems > that 1 have st(x>d by him dead and kissed him for the last time." Her voice had in it a ring of weary despondency, her eyes were fixed with a strange da/.ed expression, her hands 1 were folded and lay on her knees. She ] looked up at K at her ine. j, "Kate, give me. one promise," she '? said "ju^tAone. Tell me that you will neverrohew this subject. To re- * new It will l>e simply to give me bitter ; pain.

"It had not been till in vain then: r| tlie sun of her life had set in darkness j"' and gloom, hut she had made one at letist happy. So t he past was incut ion- K cd no more. She t ried to hear her life, w She never complained. She was like a t.l devoted daughter to Lady lirandon. n, She was the most loving of sisters to ^ she young heiress, lint day by day j( the grew more and more stnl; she grew 1 pale and thin: she began to hope that 1,1 I leaven would take pity on her and ' let her die soon. So t he wild or mont lis M came round, and tit Christ mas pre- w partitions were begun for the marriage tl of the young heiress. Lady llrandon had Invited ;i large circle of guests, Y and one of them, not knowing of the ,j recent contretemps, having just ro- , turned from Spain, spoke of Sir Marc Caryll, and said that he was going to s' take up his residence abroad. w Veronica overheard it. She did not speak; the lovely ftice grew paler, and d; ;i mist of unshed tears dimmed the n beautiful eyes; but soon afterward she went to Lady llrandon's room, her i;) marvelous seif control gone tit last. ;i She stood before her with ti look that Lady Brandon never forgot. Von must let me go away," she . said: "I cannot remain here. 1 can- L not bear It. Von must let mcgohome to Venice to die." I} Then she wept as she had never wept \) in her life before, as one who had no ls hope wept until Lady Brandon was 111 alarmed, and she herself was exhaust- tl cd. Then Lady Brandon said to her ti "You shall go; 1 will take you. You shall go to Venice, or where you will; n ohly wait wait, for my sake, until the j, wedding Is over." , So for the sake of the woman who j had influenced her so strongly she 1 waited, but it seemed to her and to every one else t hat l hose days brought " her nearer deal h. tc "Do people ever die of a broken sc heart?" she thought. "A year ago 1 1,1 was strong and well. i had color in ti my face and light in my eyes: I had st rent h in my limbs and joy in my e< heart. Now my strength has left me; ofl people look grave when t heir eyes rest j,, on me; life is a heavy burden that I would fain lay down and why? What X1 has happened? 1 have lost my love! kr| The man who took my heart from me y' has left me, and 1 may hide it as I e\ may i am pining for one look at his fa face before 1 die.

P( So she wore her heart and her life ht away, louring only for death, that, in dying, slie might see him again. h< [TO IlK CONTINUKD) tl Motlicr Always llceps It llandy. ,vd "My mother suffered :i long time from distressing pains and general ill c'( health due primarily to indigestion," w; says L.
