PART I—CHAPTER VL VIVIEN. Edith stood suddenly before him. Dale Everett stood where she left him, thought iiound. The little French clock ticked the endless message of time, the Nemesis, but the throbbing of his own heart and the echo of the girl's challenge were the only sounds ho heard. Far less rapt he might well have missed the softest rustle of skirts, the lightest si.ind of French slippers on the porch, as Editli Van der Huysen stepped from it to the grass plot and passed rap idly into the shrubbery. Yet had Dale that moment seen her face he might have thought a specter had crossed the path before her, not that chance had bronght her from her room for a quiet stroll among the roses; for its glowing olive was ashen dull, and the hinted veins beneath now stood out strong on throat and temple. The red lips closed in straight and crnel line that sent the blood all out of them, and the brown eyes gleamed black as night with evil, dangerous light Bnt with firm step and figure erect the woman walked away, and the blood brought the olive to her face once more as the lips curled into a bitter smile and finally parted laughing as she said aloud: “Edith Van der Huysen, can you really be a fool? Yonr place is in court, not camp. And surely you are old enough to give up playthings. If not vay lord is toy enough.' 1 And again the low laugh came, with a tinge of humor in it; the eyes grew lighter, and the tall form fell into its auinoja grace, as the gravel crunched and Adrien Latour came swiftly up the walk Parting the shrubbery Edith stood suddenly before him, a glowing picture in the great Gainsborough hat with her old smile on her lipa ••Welcome, Sir LaggardT she said ex tending her ungloved hand. “As you could never lie ‘a dastard in war,' you are yet in time.” ••And a* you can never be leas a rid dle, yon read one again,'* the Creole an swered, only half hiding a look of dis- rippoiutment as he took the hand she of- forsul •Will you explain this one. or ia ilt shat in your book?” Edith following his gianee for the first time that she ‘ book as the hastily left ' them one by one back into the envel ope. “I have made my own fate,” she said aloud, ns if to the superscription in Adrien - * bold, free hand. “Having made it, 1 will meet it like as trne a woman as 1 may. In a few hours 1 shall be a wife. These are the toys of child hood: they are mine no more. Only a future is mine—no past Among them they have killed that!" Still moving quietly, with no cloud on her face, without even a S’gh, Bennie Standish piled the papers and the flowers in the empty hearth, touched a match to them, and calmly watched while they curled into gray ash, blackening as it cooled. Then she turned to the desk again, chose a tiny sheet of l>aper, and wrote— almost automatically—these words: Qod pardons oar Rins Surely he forplvea our errors He will pity the child, forced into a mar riage without love: will light the wrong thus done othci-s—and herself: On your honor, re member! Adrlt n must never know the lore fur him that forces t heno last words ever to he signed > I'essis Stan hisa Folding the sheet several times she slipped it in tiie ennallest envelope and sealed it with steady fingers. Then, still holding it in her hands, she knelt by the bedside and bowed her head in silent prayer. Long she knelt; and the sun, passing westward on his way to might, looked into the window near and sent his golden light around the golden hair, like a halo. When Bennie Standish rose from her knees only the red rimmed eyelids told of the storm passed by. Paler than its wont, her face was quiet, even gentle. Not one tremor showed in the hands that quietly took out the simple, tasteful traveling dress and dainty bonnet and laid them on the bed. ready for the bridal toilet This she began by drop ping the masses of shining hair about her shoulders and passing again to the into never smnined ;t: and At lant—with a deep breath, that was not a sigh—tdie said to the reflected self: “No! I have not sinned! God grant I have not erred too deeply! Tim i* the end of the child: may lie guide tiie woman!” Hearing Edith's step as she spoke these words. Bennie turned quietly and unlocked the always open door. The other girl paused as she entered, and looked at her strangely “Why, Bennie dear, what is the mat ter? Yon seem really woebegone. These are not the looks for a bride elect! You bring back wicked old John Snckling s song: Why «o wan and pale, young Iotiw Prithee, why so tiatoi Will when looking well cwnt move her Looking til pi-vvAil- Prithee. why no l>aie- •Do not jest. Edith.” Bennie answered gravely. “It is no trifling step 1 am about to take. Can you wonder that the responsibility weighs on me? It is grave—awful!’' “But yon never so looked at it before.” Miss Van der Huysen answered quietly “And you sqreiy have had time to think of all this." “1 was never so near it then,” Bennie answered gravely, but still calmly. “It never seemed so real before.” “Scarcely flattering to the grooni to be." Editli retorted with a dry little laugh. “But then he will never know, dear; so go on with your dressing like a good child. Before l begin my own war paint, can I do anything?" “Nothing! Oh. yes; you can give" Bennie put her hand to her bosom touched the note hidden there, and stopped suddenly, looking straight into Miss Van der Huysen's quiet brown ev es with trusting blue ones. “Edith, I be lieve you love me—no, don’t interrupt me! I know you do. Ami I trust you implicitly. I bei.eve you can trust me without a word of explanation. Here! When we are gone—not before, remem ber; bnt after we leave Rose villa to night-give this to Dale Everett. Give it when no one is by to see. Don’t ask me anything, please! It is a simple little note; only a word of farewell, and a little request." Edith Van der Huysen's eyes darken ed, but the voice was sweetly low that answered: “Certainly, dear; Dale shall have it. as you ask. And why should 1 ask any questions? But have you nothing to give—no word even—for Adrien?" “Nothing," Bennie answered simply. Edith took the little envelope, but never moved her quiet, darkened eyes from Bennie’s face as the latter crossed to tiie bell. “I'll ring for Marie to dress me now; it is really late," she said listlessly, show ing none of that excitement presumed by the inexpert to belong to prepara tions on the feminine side for the great event of Ufa “Can I do u<-thing more?” Edith ask ed, still lingering. "Then l. too, must go and prepare for the—sacrifice!” The word fell slowly from her lips; but. if meant for a cue, Bennie did not pick it up. She only said gently: "I did not call it that, dear. Now loss me tnd go dress. ” , Miss Van der Huysen kissed her friend on the cheek—one of those feminine kisses that may mean a whole world of affection yet would differ nothing in | outward show did it carry poison to the 1 lips of an inconvenient rival. Then she crossed the hall to her own apartment, holding the little letter in her hand. Bnt as she went she turned it over nervous ly, as though it were hot and burned her fingers. In her own room she. too, turned the rarely used key, threw herself into an armchair and leaned back with half closed eyes; but through the lashes gleamed the dark light of busy thought. Twice she raised the Uttle envelope, staring hard at it then, as if she had settled her point, tossed it on the bed and went methodically about her toilet. Half undressed she paused abruptly and again took up the note, turning it over in her hands: the glory of her splendid hair rippling far down the gleaming satin of bare, sleek shoulders and "slim, "rounded arms, model for a Venus, framing the rich face, through | whose flushed olive burned eyes of fiery blackness. , , . .. -Dale Everett!” she said in a hard, bit- j ter voice the world never heard. "Poor child! she'd have me think 'tis he! 1 j was never so near such a mistake before j But, if she spoke truth to Dale, why should her last words be to him? But now I know "the charm of woven paces and of waving hands!' What is tiie worth of knowing, though?" She stood erect, the light, soft drapery emphasizing her perfection of curve and dark feature. With eyes gleaming into space she raised her hand in menacing gesture, defiant, uncanny, suggestive of a Pythoness in pose and in regard. As she stood thus wheels ground the gravel on the drive below, a carriage rolled to the door and stopped. With a start Edith came back to herself and to the present. She shot a quick glance through the blinds just as a dignified, well pre served man alighted and turned to assist a stylish girl and the venerable bishop of tiie diocese. Edith's red lips parted in a strange laugh us she turned once more to her toilet . - . -a -The Minotaur is ready.” she said. •And the Sacrifice? Her last word—her last thought—is for another. ‘ Tis well to be off with the old lovef Bah! and she thinks to blind me!" Again the low laugh came, unmerry, threatening. “When Vivien had gained the chann she cried, •Oh, fool!’ and all the forest echoed, •Fool!’- And now to dress!’ (J’o be continued.)
