lower French widows were opened into
the garden; and leaning against one in
an attitude to show to advantage form
of perfect grandeur, was n man in the
rich military dress of an English officer
of high rank.
Of his face [ only gained profile
view; it was strong and deeply cut. Mar
garet had risen apparently in surprise,
for her shawl had fallen off, and she hold
ing her child. She was speaking excited
/ ", with q light never saw before in her
deep eyes. The words | could not catch,
but | saw her hold up her hand to the
light-the hand on which glittered the
wcdding-r ring. | saw his face darken as
be took step forward, but she again held
up her hand and pointed with her eyes
to the child on her arm With a strong,
deadly imprecation he turned. sprang out
of the window, and out of SIGHT in IN in
slant. Oh how Rugged my revenge as I
stepped into the room! l might perhaps
have spared her, but the revenge was
sweet.
"Well, Mrs. Bently-"
I am afraid | shall never forgot her
look of helpless terror as she fell back in
her seat.
"Spare. oh, spare my husband Save
me! | am innocent; my days are num-
bered. For the chiId's sake. spare me-"
But her words fell on marble. for n
long d. spised heart was now gathering
strength; how I smiled at that groveling
form; my words were few, but the cry
they received rings this moment in my
ears. [ never intended to tel my son.
mark you; he was my idol; would rot
wound his heart: she was the stumbling
stone to be put out of my way. Neither
did | believe her guilty, deeply as hat
ed her. I never believed her false to nv
son. Had such thought entered my
head. would have killed her dead at my
feet.
But nv revengc-ah. it was sweet,
and sweeter it grew as the days flew by
shortening her path. With what eager
ness | watched that proud face, knowing
how soon its beauty would be food for
worms. How I watched the bending of
that peerless form as it moved lower and
lower towards the earth. | knew by the
look of her eyes that it was with horror
unutterable she looked forward to
the mysterious darkness she was en-
terine: knew Margaret Bently brought
no willing heart to deaths alter and was
not my revenge complete? No. it was
not complete till she died. | stole into
her room and laid my hand on hers
She started from the touch, and her lips
moved. The nurse said il WAS forgiven"
that tremb ed on her lips before they
were sealed, but | knew it was not
Margaret Bentlv never forgave; neither
did I. Just on the threshold of this
world we stopped; shall we hate each
other in the next? Will that white face of
my sons wife meet me there? They say
there is rest in the grave, but fear tint
face will follow me even after its everlast-
ing silence. If there is rest, let it come,
and come quickly.
