| John. Here, my man, there's mistake

meant at all. Take this,"-sllpping a

"All right, gunner" said the man OF
law; "only, I'll take my davy out, that
'ere's the very identical party, you your
sci told me to take, at the very door OF
the church."
"Confound your insolence," cried the
discomited Stephen. 81 tell you there
has been mistake"
The man SUNK off grumbling and
growing, but made his own story good to
the satisfaction of the policeman and the
half dozen nursemaids with perambulators,
who had gathered around the door.
While this little dialogue was going on,
DR.. Bryan had placed his still halfuncOn-
scious burden in the carriage, and thrust
ing in the dazed and paralyzed bride
groom, desired the cOachman to drive
home with all speed, while he himself fol-
lowed in hanson.
AS the wretched couple drove up, the
door was thrown open, and the house
keeper stood on the threshold to WELDON G
her new mistress.
"Quick, quick, Mrs. White" said Mr..
Jones. Help your mistress up stairs to
her own room. She is going to be i'll, I'm
afraid"
A wild scream interrupted him
"MOther! mother you too, here?" and
the unmasked adventures sank on the
ground in a swoon, from which she was
long in recovering.
And when her consciousness returned,
the first thought that rushed into her mind
and filed her with shame and despair, was
the knowledge of the invaldity Of her
marriage. All her art, all her intrigues
had produced no other result than the de.
lection of her baseness and treachery Blu,
was she penitent? Did she really repent OF
her wrong doing, or was it only her failure
she regretted
The answer was given in action rather
than words Closing her eyes, she pre-
tended to be overcome by a desire to
be left alone. Her request was accsded to
and John Bryan, accompanied by Mrs.
White, who attributed her daughter
swoon to surprise at meeting with her al
such moment, went in search of the
bridegroom.
They found him in his library, seated in
his customary arm chair, and comforting
himself with tumbler of brandy and wa
ter. When his housekeeper and his
friend entered the room, he coolly init
mated his intention to repudiate the mar
riage; though, for Mrs Whites sake, he
was willing to pay any reasonable sum
of money to settle herself and daughter
in some respectable line of business This
naturally led to an explanation of the
whole affair, and to an exhibition of poig-
nant anguish on the part Of the poor mother
| Suddenly the street door was shut with
great violence. They all looked at each
other in alarm. Hurrying into the room
in which the foiled adventures was sup
posed to be sleeping, they found it empty
Nor was she to be seen in the street but,
in the distance, a hanson cab was tearing
along as if racing against time. Never
again did Mr.. Jones behold his fair en-
SLAYER, though Mr.. Hawkhurst could have
told him that she was daily visible behind
certain lunch-bar, coquetting with city
clerks while she administered to their mid
