I. entered into con-i versation. with her, and in. ?^pita ot ber j patois managed to undersfeutdber.. 1 asked about the place !and the people, j.

Parants could , not give their,daughters dots-girls could , noir save them. - Besides, many of tue ; young men went away. Tbey went to j L'Orieat and became sailors. It was a ? Tarw'thing- for a giri to get married in St Senrin. Were there no visitors-no English, for instance-stay ing in -the neighborhood? 2fo -yes. There W2S one monsieur-lae ws3 EngHsh, ? He t?vt? at Pierre Boulay?s farm -the farm jusi. over the sea cliff yonder; the house nearesc to the sea. His name? Ahl she forgot those strange names. He was tall and handsome. He had been here, off and on, many months- He was a heret?^'but kind "to poor people. . What dkCh? do with himself in. this d?so- . late place? As! she knew not True, young Jean, dd Pierre's son, said that the gentle? man shut himself up for hours and hours, writing, an# the eura, who knew htm, said he was aietmed mau. It was be! My journey had not been m vain. I fogged to ask the giri if a lady Evedwith him, but I forced the question back. When Iban Snisbed with Eustace Grant I could then think of Viola. Where was be to be found? Was he at the farm now? She thought no!. She had j not serat bim for some days. Most days bo ' caroedown the hill and walked along the ; ;coa?c-far, far along .the coast IT monsieur | wished to meet with him he would surely j /?n4 bim thara. Yes, the coast was very fina. Sometimes ; artists came to paint it Perhaps monsieur j was an artist? Sh? glanced at m?. Kb dont* my coming j had created curiosity. The question sug? gested an excuse for my staying at such a placeas St. Senrin. Yes; she bad guassed right I was au ertnt I had come to draw pictures of the coast She seemed pleased at having j guessed: fte nature of my occupation, and j qulefclr left me, no doubt to make ter dis- I coyery known to all who were interested in | the matter. I need? i her no longer. I bad ! learned enough. Fate seeme? shaping everything to my I hand.'' I had learned that Grant was al- j most within stone's throw; that nearly i every day he took a solitary walk along the coast It was on the coast, far away from . fear of interruption, that I tvould arrange for our meeting-to take place. All i now wished topyard against was a premature , discovery of my presence. ^The ne^' .n?orning I stepped out and :snrveyed: the- scene of action. Far, far away as eye could see was tba streich of smooth yellow sand running from the e lg? of the ' glorious sea to the tall, rugged cliffs, in a break of which the tiny riiijig? j nestled. I chm bed the bill, and from the top, look- | ing across the valley, could see the small farmhouse in which the object of my hatred Eved. I dared not go near toit I turned and regained the sea coast, and walked along under the cliff,, picturing with savage rapture the moment when, utterly unsus? pecting of our contiguity, Eustace Grant would find himself confronted by me, and called upon to reckon up the cost of his foul treachery. ' But that day, and other day?, passed with? out "my seeing a sign of bim. I spent nearly all the boors of daylight on the coast Again and again I wenttbrough the scene winch Thad pictured. I stood a few paces from^hini on a stretch of sand. I re prcac&ed him and exalted in the vengeance which I was about to take. I could see my? self raise my right hand and fire. I could see the man fall lifeless. Over and over again during those weary hours of waiting I acted my part hi tbi? I gloried in: tba thought that he was . now famous^ that Efe held greas priretf which his: bim.: I could kill him when the ball of sue , ces? and ambition was at his feet. In the firstiiushof his" triumph he would find me waiting Xor him. Oh, it was well I had been tardy in my actsi I could now take faxiso^re than life from my foe I' : Soday;afrer day71 sat or lay on the'coast, full oiVsuch thoughts as tbesar Excepc when - JocJ?ng for my foe? I spent all my time in my own room. Day after day went by, but we me? not I supposed him to be away from heme. No matter. ~ I. could wait a month, a year, tea years. Ead I not sweac" thonghts wherewith to^ while 'i away the tims? I- mada no more morries about him. I was afraid he might hear of 11 them,, and .guess ?-bo wanted him, I waited calmly ?nd patiently.. -.----.- ; > . % One morning I staid later than usual in jtny r?oirC As I glanced* through my win " dow, which looked upon the broadest part /of., the. dusty road running through tho "village i saw that Sk Saur?n was in such festival guise as is could. assume. Man, woman and children were standing about, dressed in. holiday clothes. ,Then I remem? bered that the girl who waited upon me had said, something about to-day teing a great festival .ct the charco. I bad g>vea little t %eed^to*-lier -words; I-watched-, the ero wa" .,:ior-a few-minutes, -and presently saw ..a sight which, bad my mood been happier, .would haye delighted ma Girls and boys came, bearing .tall wicker baskets full of . leaves,: pulled from various flowers and ^re^ shrubs/ The sandy space in front of "me was cleared. A young man iariimmbly '% from point.to point, tracing as h? went ~35n?&in th?dast Toen, seizing the baskets . one' after another, he distributed their glow? ing contents in such a way that ia less than twenty uunuses what Icokad^like a: carp t of a varla?atod pattern, formed of flower*, covered tue dusty space. - ' As he -hcs??y threw sha last splash' ol ?

The space was ali bu- deserted. The varian s . bues of theflower carpet were now blended together without order or pattern. G-aut replaced-his hit. crossed the read, and struck down a>pat?i which c^uld only lead to the sea. I laughed *s I saw him disappear. With sriai deliberation I threw opan the barrels of my pistols and loaded them afresh. 5o lack cf precaution ch my part should aid the escape of my enemy. Thea I sat down and wei bed.. I wanted him to have a fair stare, so that our meathag might take ?>laca as far np that deserted coa-;t a possible ^WAen I thought Ihadgiven himsufiBcient grace, I sa;Ked forth m pursuit I turned down to the saa as he had turned. I rounded I /ttefoot of the hm.which shattered St. Sau-J rin i rom the nor7 west winds, and then stood j^ith the unbroken cliff cn my right hand >and the san i stretching away in front of /me for miles and miles. . In the distance I ! f could see him-a white spot on the yellow .'.sand/'-The heat was great, so he bad clothed ' ?axase??'^in dszz?ug whita garmanta He ' was/perhaps,' half a mile in front cf ma, walkiag noir to the edp of tua sea. I quickened' cry 'stops, and rapidly dimin? ished the distance between us. I dil not want to get so naar that, if he turnad, he might recogn's? ma. Idid.noS tr:ian lr-.rora!:'' h'm. I meant to i'oltow him until he turned to retrae? his steps; then, as seen as he liked; he might dis? co var roe. Mr oniy -fear was that some path-?p tha cliff miga* unknown to me, ex? ist-a pa:a wh:ca ha might.take, and so go home acro:a t:?e table land. Grant walked leisurely; so I was soan w.thi i 00J yards of him. I noticed that his heal v:a- bsat forward, as is natural to those who thmk as thay walk. His hands were behind him. and he paced the coast wita a slow bub lengthy stride. Little he gues :e.i who was upon his traces! Sullenly hs 1 urned asida, and struck up the beach tc-ward the cliff I stood still and watete : bim. I saw him roach the top of the beach; tben, as it were, disappear into ti e fa:-o cf the cliff ? doubled my pace and hnrricl on, laughing in vengeful glee, i liad rum .now! For by chis time I knew every f oot of that coast lina I knew that at the j?-oot where Grant bsd vanished some convulsion of nature had tem tba rocks i?pftrc; that, entering through what looked Uk? a narrow fissura you came upon a straight, smooth space, boen del bf un scal?oie crags, and carpeted by soft white sa :A Not a cave, because it was ooea to the heavens, but ail the same a natural cul de sac. I had f cund this place. I had explored it I had even longed tha: Eustace Grant might ba in taara, wiuie I stood at the entrance, an.: held him >ik-a a rat in a tray. Aui now the teing I longed for had come to pass. Fer Laps to escape from the heat of the sun my enemy hod chosen tha one placa in which I wished to mest biro I was right in saving that fate was shaping everything to my baud. Here I should face bim, force him to iighc, and slay him! I had him now! Strange to say, no thought of an issue idverse to myself entered my head. So cenfiden?, so certain I felt, that I pausad for a while at the entrance , to the trap and steeled my heart b? recalling all the wron :s Trinca I had. suffered. I steed there unsil the sim male the barral of the pisioL which ?had drawn from my breast, as hot as fire. Then i. crepr. between the two roois, and went to reckon np wita Eustace Grant! The chance from the brilliant sunshine to She ceoi gloom of the grot, or whatever it shoul.1 ba called, was so sudden that for a moment I could not distinguish objects. Whei? my eyes grew accustomed to the shad3, I saw that Grant was lying on a heap of san t a; tha furthest end of the. ravine. His broad-brimmed ?sai was by hi; side, ant" he seamed fasr. asleep. 1 crept toward him. My fe^t inadd no sound as they trod on the soft dry sand I stood over him and looked down on his powerful lace, strong, sun? burned nee::, and large, muscular limbs He looked the type of manhood. Ah! no He looked the type of manhood. wonder he cou.d wai a woman's love if he strove for it A notebook lay near his left hand. Most likely he had Leen jo! ting down something ? which struck ins fane/, when the grateful ! shade and tha murmur of the distant sea had lulled him to sleap-a sleep from which he would awake only to sle^p again forever! Nay, I might have plucad the muzzle of the j pisiol next his heart, and bave -eut him, without awakening, from one sleep to the other. But a had no intention of murder? ing the-man in cold blood; nor would it j have suited me for him to die without know- i ing to whom his daath was dna Besides, I meant it to be a fair duel-a-dual to the death-between us. So I stooped,- and laid ono of my pistols near his right hand; then I walked back toward the mouth of the grot, leaned against a rock, and waited for dum to awake. $jj?i Not for one moment do I attempt to dis? guise the devilish, vengeful feelings which could urge me in this calm manner to plan and compass this man's death. Now that years have passed shies that day, Ido not even ask you to bear in mind the wrong that had bean done me. I simply relate what I did, and shall not murmur at toe blame which I know will be meted out tome. The man slept soundly. ? waited ; but no thought of foregoing my. purpose entered into my brain. L waited until the dread that wo might ba disturbed struck mc' I had gloated over my promised victim long enough Now lot me act the crowning act I detached ft loosa morsel 'of pack and tossed it toward the sleeping mah. lt fell on his outstretched hand, die started, rose i to a sitting posture, rubbed bis eyes; then, looking round; saw me, and knew whyl was there He saw the look of triumph and fall purpose on my.face*, he saw the pistol In my light hand;, he sprang to his feat and took p_J?tep toward me. Jraised my hand and covered him with the pistol. He must have looked almost down the muzzle. ?'Stand still," I said, "or I firel" The bravest man may well hesitate ere he rushes on certain death Eustace Grant stopped short My voice, my leek, must have told bim that my threat was no idis one. The steadiness of my band told hin? that I should not miss my mark. ' "Ten have come to murder mol" be said, in a deep yo.ee. "No; to ?ill yon, not murder you. Look on the ground.behind you; take the pistol which hes there; than wo are equal Take it, I sa'-', and face me like a mau. Firs when and how you cheese;.

Deadly as my bate was, I was fara to admire bis courage. .4? think yen are. mad," he said; "but listen, I have something to say." '? I stampad my foot. "Coward I villain! take that pistol, or I swear I will shoot you as you. stand f ' . He s tooped and picked up the weapon A 'wave of fierce delight ran throu-rh ma. The moment o? reckoning was at bani. - : Yet he balked mo. He held up his hand and fired beth barrels in the air. I uttered aery of ra?e. - "Yen are ?man of honor, I supposer he said. "You cannot slay adafea3e?es3 man." Ithrnst my left hand into my pocket and threw a handful of cartridges toward him. He should not escape me. Ee' buried the pistol from him far over the top of the rock. My hope of killing him 1 "in fair fight was gena. I gritted my teeta, and swore that nevertheless he should not. escape. "Coward!". I shouted, with my finger trembling oh the trigger. He was bold, for he still stood erect and faced me. "His face grew pala No wonder, for dealhjwas close at bend He spoke; bis voice was cl ar and distinct "Listen," be said, "one moment before you stain your seul with this crime. Viola, your wife-V He said co mor?. The sound of her name roused in me a burst of mad fury ; all my enforced calm left me. "Silence, you hounds I shouted. Grant must have seen the change in my face," and guessed what it presaged Dcub?" less life was dear, very dear to him. He sprang toward me My finger pressed the trigger, and the report rang out My hand as ? fired,was steady as a reek, and before I saw the effect of my bullet I knew that it had dona its work. The smoke cVe?red off' Grant was stag? gering to and fro. His band was pressed to his right breast, ani Tha rad blood was cresp:n2 through h.s close J fingers and dya ing bis* pure whico coat. Suddenly hr? fell, and lay iike .a log at mr feet. Tba thing which I had for. nights ani da/s sighed for had come to pass. But not with tba effect I bad pictured instead of the emulation which I had prom is3d myself, a ride of utter horror swept through me. One, only ona, thought filled my brain-I bad taken this man's life, and .was a murderer. CHAPTER V??L "TELL 2?E THE TBUTH." I . ^^^^^^^ ' '^J^^ ^ Grant had fallen on his side. Grant had fallen upon his sida. His face was turned from me, and one arm, thrown out as he fall, half hid hi3 bead. . For a moment I stood motionless. Now that the de>d was done, tba horror I xelt at my own act rooted me to the spot. ?I feit that I ccu-.i not meet the dying mans gaza-t?9 reproachful gaza ot' ona whom I had slain in whet was little more than cold blood Oli, if I eoaidbut undo my work! But was ho dead t I had.simad. straight at h.s heart-bad my bullet reached it? Let m9 learn if I was a murderer in act as wdl as incoctioa. If so, my pistol had a second bullet, and my aim, wb.ra I turned ;he muzzle toward myself, would be as true as before. j dropped the fatal weapon and ran to the fallen maa. I ? knelled beside him, and, with the mechanical cairn of despair, set to work to learn the worst No, thank' heaven, he was not dead-not yet! '?ha blood had flown- from his sun Vsnned face; bh features seemed pinched and ora-vu with pain; but bi still lived The blood was trickling down his white c :at. and failing on the thirsty white sand which formad his couch; but he was not dead. ? misai bira, thinking that doing so might ?hack the Cow of blood I placed that ?-ran ., massive head on my shoulder. H* ?z ?a J faintly, and bis eyes opened "'You have killed me, I think," he said "Bu* i.s- en. Oa the oath of a mon who believes ne an? but a few montait? to liva, I swear that Vjoia, your wife, is pure as tbe day on wtdeb she marrie! you Tho j truth you may never karn; but telle vc j this." The effort of spanking ex?n.nstad bim. Bis eyes closed ones more, and a coi I chill , passed over ma. 1 would nave given all I ! possessed fer a flask of brandy. I shuddered j ut the thought chao perhaps those e/e? had cloded f crever. ?ly agony was increased tenfold by tho woris b3 Had spoken. I could not, dared not, doubt them. If, while 1 believed in his guilt, remorsa at my crime sprang up and sefz3-i mo, what wr-re my foo rugs now that 1 knew I h'i J killed a man who bad a ot wronged mi? 'ihese dving words bad car? ried complete conviction to my mind. 1 mu>t do ?clin ching, ii only io place mr pistol to my bead and fall lifaiess across my v.c.im, 1 nra--, do something! I tooK cut ny knife aid ripped up tba wounded raau's coat a id shirt. I fomid his handkerchief, which i knotted to my own. Then, picking xip a smoorb pjl.bie, I enveloped it in a piece . of linen torn from tho shirt, and wiib these ! i ap-dianco? mada a rou-rh tourniquet. The i I very pistol witn which I Lad done the deed ; j served to twist tue bandage until its press- : j uro checked tho flow of blood A tinsre of j color cama lack to the asuen lip-, and for ; j the fir?t time I hoped that Eustace Grant ' would not dia. ! But I mu't have assistance. Here wo i might wait until doomsday without a crea I ture coming near us. There was but ona ; chance of saving him. 1 must leave bim ; and fly/or aid 1 wonder if man ever ran so fast a3 I ran ? along txiat stretch of sand. All tha while I ! was Daunted by the dread that some move? ment of the helpless man's hand would shift the rough-and-ready bandage, and that,. I when I saw bim a^ain,'! should gara oh death-death for which I was accountably Thoughts like this are apara which might urge the slowest to shpwaumon speed. i_ I 1 rushed up into the Tillage; I begged I the first man. I. saw to get othertf-to pro? j cure a gate. a. shutter, a plank, anything oil i which a wounded man could be carried, and ' to start at once up the coast I tore iuti ; thQ little inn, seised a' bottle of brand j, j ordered the surgeon to be summoned al ? once, than ran back as wildly as I had j come. I outstripped the fishermen, who wore i already on their way with an extemporized j : ainbalance I reached the ravine, and, sick j at heart, entered to learn if Grant were i st?l-alive. Thank heaven; he lived! He lay; just aa j I had left him. Once more I rai;ed hw ! bead, aud then gave him a teaspoonful of ' stimulant ^ He-moaned faintly, and tho i sound of pain went through my heart Like a knife. Presently I heard the fishermen. I called ? to thom. Tenderly as we could, we bore Grant through tho entrance of the ravine, and laid bim on the stretcher. Then, at a slow paco, started, on tho homeward ; maree. About half-way we. met the-surgeon. Ho called a.halt, examined the injured man, .and complimented roe on the way in which I applied, the tourniquet. The saving of the man's life, if it could be saved, would bedue to, my prompt action. How little he knew that, before attempting to save it, I had done all in my power to take that life! v . He gave Grant more stimulant ''How ia the world did it happen?" ho askel, turn? ing to me. I was stammering out some reply, when I saw Grant's eyes open, and hi* lips move as if about to speak. The surgeon and I bent over bim. "Acci I ent" I heard him say to the sur? geon. "Shot myself-very stupid," "Hush, don't talk,?* said the surgeon. Grant said no mora H13 eyes awt mine for an instant, and their look told me that if he died, he meant to die without: accusing me. My heart was too full for me to say a word. I turned aside to hide my feelings from tha rough bearers, who ones more raised the prostrate form. "Hum I" said the surgeon." "Very strange fdr a man to shoot himself in the right breast Must be left-handed, I suppose." The risk of carrying Grant up the lull was too great to be incurred, so by my instruc? tions he was borne to the i??n. There, on my own bed, was placed the man whom I had, without one thought of compute Jon, that morning gone cut to kill. Nov, an hour later, I hung over him in speechless agony, awaiting the result of the surgeon's examination. Briefly it wa? this. The bullet-my hand after all must have swerved-had entered the right breast, crushing through-the framework of bones, and was now lying embedded under ti? shoulder-blade. It could be distinctly felt in its resting-place, and bv and bye could be cut out It was to be boped that no particles of clothing had been carried into the wound. But would he live-would be over be himself again? Undoubtedly, unless un? foreseen complications -arose. The cure would be a tedious affair, .but he would bo cured. As I beard this favorable report, I coull have thrown myself on the surgeon's neck and wept for jo v. If Eustace Grant when he thought himself dying, could forgive me and strive to shield me, I felt certain he would forgive me when . his recovery be? came an assured fact-forgive, and, with hi? solemn asseveration still echoing through my mind, I dared to hope, aid me. in regaining the woman who had left me forr?me reason which was now veiled in my starr. But I thrust this dawning hope into tbe background. At present, my one task mus; be to undo, or to use every human means to avert, the dire conse? quences of my murderous deed. I left tha room, saw tbs innkeeper ead bis wife, an i gave such unlimited instruc? tions for every care and comfort procurable, that the goo 1 peoples oyes brightened. No doubt it seemed to them that prosperous days were dawning on St. Seur/x I ordered a messenger to be seat at once to L'Orient to request th3 Attendance of the be;t sur? geon the placa boasted. I should have tele? graphed to Paris for surgical aid, but I feared to waste pr?tions time. Then I set? tled down to nurse my late fee as ona nurses a brother. I neel not give in detail fha account of Grant's progress toward recov? ery. I need not describe the hones and fears which shook me as each day he seemed a little better cr a little worse The aa?uwb I felt when fever set in-and be was for a while delirious, and, as I believed, on the point of death-wa? a punishment I am fain to think almost commensurate to my de? serta, I watched by him day and night. Such sleep a? I took was snatched in a bed J aid at tho foot of bis. All the world for me seemed to be contained ia that sick room. Even Viola was for ihe tims almost driven from my thoughts. Until Grant gre w wei!, I could think cf no one but him. Everything he took was from my hands. It seamed to me to be part of my atonement that I should wait upon him like a si ave. Had he turned from me in disgust-hid he by word or gesture shown that the constant presence cf the man who had dona his best to kill him was unsupportable, I think I must have gone mad. But he suffered ma to nurse him; nay, more, seemed grateful for my aid Perhaps it was my devotion and solicitude for the sufferer which averted the suspicion which might well have fallan upon mx 1 believe the local surgeon guessed something of the facts of the case, but he wa? a discreet man and said nothing. The people at the inn were too much deli?bte 1 with tbs windfall to be curious as to how it was brought to their feet. As the local surgeon had predicted, the casa was a long and tediou* affair. Four dreary weeks ..passel before I, for ono, could hope that danger was at an end Then, to my indescribable joy. Eustace Grant began to menl rapidly, so rapidly that the little surgeon swelled with pride, and plumed himself npon the puccessful issue brought about by his treatment By his own request, Grant was moved to his own house, the farm on the hill. In a shamefacad way, I begged that I might be allowed to accompany him, and continua my duties of sick nurse. In reply, he held out bia wasted left hand, grasps i my own, and so settled the matter. Scarcely a word bad yet passed between us concerning tbe vengeful act of mine which had so nearly proved fatal to the man toward whom I now feel as a brother. Once or twice I stammered out some prayer for forgiveness. He had always cheeked mo by an action, as one would make who bas forgiven, or who has nothing to for? give. As all talk likely to aritate him had been forbidden. 1 was obliged to let my ex? pressions of contrition lie in abeyance. It was also part of the punishment which I meted out to myself that during those weeks Viola's nam? never crossed my lips. Grant, a great gaunt wreck of his former self, was carried up to Boulay'^ farm. The .journey did him no barm. The change ;rom the sheltered village to tbe ? high, breezy tab:e laud, wa* a mort be io- I 5c.'al on\ in a fortnight's time be could, ? by leaning on my arm,' creep about, and every day brou ph t him new strength. . When ho grew tired cf waking, I had a couch wheeled out in front of the house. On thi<<, under an awning mada OU'J of an old sail, h-> lay for hours, drinking in the Zresi sea breeze. One day he turned tome. "Juiian,'' he said-he often used my Christian name now- *1 feel so much stronger and better that I mu3t go to work j again. Will you be my amenuensisr' His right arm was still disable! I think I the tears were in my eyes as I thanks1 him j for the suggestion. He gave ma a look full of sympathy and forcrivenes?. Then, at his requo3% I sou^h; | for and found a bundle of mtnuscript and i writing materials. Still lying on the couch, '. with his eye3 half closed, he dictated to ms page afte- page of a work which has sin? appearaJy and brought him more fame and . fortune.- : /'. , . ?xcapt fer tho reawakened desire^ the', craving, which gre w stronger and stronger every hour-to hear tidings of Viola, those hours spant with Grant at that lonely farm 'house on the edge of tba sea would hare been very happy pate to me. Leayifljj OH* 'v. ' t _: ~M.". - ' B.-v-S' of the question tba feeling1 of thankfulness : that my murderous designs had fai lei, tn i very charm of the man's society was suci ! that I cooli have lingered for mon shs aJ his side. I knew that Eustace Grant wa ! making, not only a wiser, bat a botter mai of ma But Viola! "I musf hear of her! Then is a limit to self-restraint; and Grant wa now strong enough to talk on all andevexj subject. Sooner qr later, I felt sure tba he would enter upon my own troubles; that from bim I should learn why mr wife Tefl me, where I could meat with her, how ] could best bring her to me again;. Is it ani wonder that I.longed for tho mom mt wher he might speak? It came atlas! One night-^ihight so St?l. and calm that even thi proverbially turbulent waves ot the Bay o? Bise.ty wert all but at reit, Grant and I were ?ttxn ? oui in the moonlight. He wa3jn aJhoughtfhJ, silent mood; end fora while ? respecte i tb? sanctity of his1 meditation. Theil, move] by a sudden impulse, I began once more tc express my deep -contrition and remorse fot my rash ac?, my joy at what I now hopac was my new friend^ all but complete re covary. He checked me quickly. "Do you know' what thought flambed through me, even as I felt tho seing of thc ballet? You may believe I hal no wish tc die; but I said to myself, were I in that Dian's pUce-ignorant as he is of the truth -I should have done as he is doing, or even trorse. If it gives yon any satisfaction tc hear me say that I forgive you,. I say it. Kow, let us never again mention the sub? Jectr He held out his hand I grasped it hi deep gratitude, and once more there was silence between us. My thoughts flew to my missing love. Ob! if she were but beside me-beside us! for jealousy of Grant bad left me. If we were but gazing together on that bright moon. If my arm was but around her, aid my hps whispering the words of love into her ear ! If her Angers, with the sof t, caress ing touch which I so well remembered, were resting on raine ! j If I could bear. it no longer. I turned to Grcnt, and'cried in a voice of anguish: "Tell ma all! Tell me where she is! Give me Viola again!" He turned at ray cry. The moonlight was full on his pale face. His eyes-his features -evinced deep svmpathy and compassion. A fearful thought ran through rae. '-She is not dead?" I gaspad out. "No; she is not dead" 'Then where is she? For marcy's saks tell mel Sae! I have been patient-I have not even asked you! But the time has come-1 must know!" I saw bira knit his brows, not angrily, but as one in deep thought My lips were trembling; ray emotion so great that 1 could not repeat the question. - . Breathlessly I waited for Grant to speak. At last, in a grave voice, he broke silence: "You believe the words I spoke when when I thoughtT wa3 dying?' ,lCould i bo with you now if I did not be? be ve them? ' 4,Wiilyou believe ma when Issy that it will be happier for bothroryocijif von never meet or hear again of one an (ft mir p "No; Twill not behave that- H;n?H V She, the wife I levad loaves me "?^r out one word With my kiss still v>arravn her ?ps, sha passes away from me. it ?eranT forever I lot me s9a her-let me hear why she did this thing!" Grant was shen t; but once more he took my hand and pressed it "Tell me," I continuad "Bemambsr, even after all that bas recently passel, I am justified in asking you to explain your part in the flight This is at bast due to ma." "Yes, you aro right, it is. All that I will tell you." I clenched my hands and leaned forward, eager to catch every word that fell from Grant's lips. My whole future seemed to rest on what I learned during the next few minutes. Grant began speaking in a calm and deliberate manner. It struck me evan then that be was weighing every word, so as to be sure of saying no more or no less than was needed. "Julian," he said, "in order to understand my action in the matter, you must first of all bear in mind the truth which you guessed intuitively when first we met I lo ved Viola with all the strength of my nature. I had lovel ber for years, and I was waiting in the hope that some day she would be naine. It waa a bitter blow to return home and find that another man was about to marry her. It needed all my power of will to bide ray feelings from ber, and do what I could to insure her happiness." He sighed and was silent for awhile. "However, " he continuel, "sharp ss the pang was at the time, it is now a thing of tits past I have conquered myself. My love now for Viola is that of a brother to a dear sister. You wfll belie va this, Lor? aine?" , . I nodded. He resumed in a lighter ma ri? ?en "Yo*, I have conquered it. I think I now pour aU my love into my books. But at that time I worshiped ber. . I would have given my life to save her from grief. Her wish was to me a command. Her smallest request an obligation to be dis? charged at all cost Liaving this ont of the question, ber mother confided hep to me. This was why I did not tell hor I loved her. I forced myself to wait until she was 21; then it was too late." Another pause. I glanced at his face. Its expression was ona of actual pain. If Eustac? Grant had conquere! his hop less pas -ion the memory of it was still keen. "Ramembar also," be went on, "I mis? trusted you. I hesitated long before I made up my mind not to interfere. Your ro? mantic suppression of your true name aud position is accountable for the mistrust I felt So I start with two strong emotions to sway me-lova for Viola,' and mistrust, of . tho man who was to many hi.-. Do you understand ?" "Yes; bul', for mercy's sake, lat ms hear what happened*' "On Viola's twenty-first birthday," he began No; I will not givo his story in his own words. I should be bound to break it a huudrol timas by tha insertion cf my ejaculations and expression? of wonder? ment When ended, it loft me us completely in tho dark, as before. If it cleared Vela from the accusation cf vulgar.infidelity, it plunged me iu tenfold perplexity a* to tha motiva which in due 3d her to fl/ from me. Tliis briefly is what Grant told me: Upon reaching the solicitors, according te ap? pointai rat, he found that V.ola bad already arrived, ani was waiting for him In tba room into which I was afterward shown. Grant exchanged a fow words with her. then went back to' Mr. Honk and sputa about details of bus'ness. Evor7thinT. was in order and ready for my iuspaction when I should arrive; so Grant re j nned my wife. He bad much be wished to'say to lier, many questions to ask, and, as he Loped, con? gratulation? te off ;r. Sho appear* 1 strange, absent-minded and oppressed. He thought sha mint be ill. Suddenly, to his bewil Jermont, sha fell at his feet, and in a pa?s oaata way besought him to take ber aw-y at oner.- Take ter any v?hcre. Hide her iroru her husbaai. Let bim uevor knew wb ra sha was; never see her cgii-?. A* once-this moment before be arrived, sba must go, an I leave no traer! All this she prayed Grant to do- besought it cbso'u aiy on be* knees. Th? man's blood lo:l.?d.; Here, a fort? night after ber marriage, was tba woman n bo u ho loved Legging bim, iu wild ac? cents, to save her lrom ber h?slaull He could jump at only one conclu sion I had ia some way maltreated ber. I was on ucter vil? lain ! My wlf i bad found out my true nature, and her only refuge was flight. Was it for the men who loved her to urg3 her return to what, from her wild and despairing prayer^' he gathered mast be absolute misery' No. She besought bis'aid: Let bun fi ng pru? dence to the wini, and do her bidding with? out asking why or wherefore. Thora was co tima to spare for questions. Viola seemed in an aseny of fear. At any mo? ment my step might be ha?rd. Grant, who. believed that I had, in the course of a few days, turned my wife's love into late, felt no inclination to show me aay nwrcy.. He raised V ola? andT promised to. save her.' Ha led ker out through the door which opened to the outer world, csJ^el^y cai>,i^ ? wife in it, and drove off, without troubla na io direction. Her only wish, at .t moment was' to avoid meeting me. ~"' ~ Once within the cab, Grant tried td d luce Viola to talk-rationally; to give sor reasonsgratifying the rash step.

Without yielding an iota of principle or weakening their tariff position, the house democrats can pass such a Mit for reduction or adjustment of duties as the republicans will accept.
