('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..

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

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.

from it the little parcel. The snow

will Sir Marc forget the hour and the

" Poor child!" he murmured to himself.

CIIAPTKK XI.
(.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. ProfhMfe me that you will never
do so." t

"(loon," rc<inested Veronica.

"and I atn like a child 1 love my n

Then Veronica raised her head, and s<

"Now toll me alxiut your love," said

" What can 1 toll you, dear, save t litii rl

Kate 1 am the better for your coming,
dear and when me meet again '

"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

The man who took my heart from me y'

may i am pining for one look at his fa

heart, could you not have trusted me 'p
even ever so little? 1 shall send for ^
him when I am dying, and ask him to ..
hold me in his strong arms. Oh.Mare.
you might have trusted mo, for you cc
were all 1 had in the world!" P(
So she wore her heart and her life ht
away, louring only for death, that, in
