famished and faint, but keeping each
others courage up; and at noon Of the
next day thew were taken off. But in
two days and nights Maskelyn had
learned that she loved him. And when,
in turn, she learned that her love was in
vain. it was only by force of arms that
he hindered her from seeking the watery
death from which he had rescued her.
The poor little passionate, tropical crea-
ture! am f.s.
He saw her, however, no more for a
month after the time that he left her
at her fathers door in New Orleans,
where he found the black-robed parents,
who had themselves been saved, but
who had thought their child lost, and
received her as one raised from the
grave, and would have given Maskelyn
their all as her preserver. But Maske-
lyn did not present himself there again;
and it was not till his return from a trip
through the neighboring region that
Adele's father was able to find him, and
to beseech him to accompany him if he
would save his child a second time from
death. And he found her on the brink
of madness. .-.5
Compelled by their kindness and their
grief, he could do nothing but remain,
and add his efforts to theirs. 1t was a
superb home; wealth and art and cl;-
mate could hardly do more to make it
perfect. Perhaps the sense of its ease
and luxury were delicious to the tired
and almost penniless Young man. And
then there were always flowers, music,
paintings, servants moving like shad-
ows, cordial warmth and bless
ing, and the lovely Young crea-
ture whose trouble his presence
was beginning to tighten. Ah, YES, YOU
see / am excusing Maskelyn-trying to
make YOU excuse him. But it was all to
be foreseen. Three against onep 1t
was the world against one. For
here at home was an obscure Young wo-
man, with her barely comfortable sup
port; and there, on the other hand,
were beauty, wealth, distinction, and all
the promotion and success that come in
the train of such things.
Rut II was none of these that weiobed
sutf;cientlv with Maskelvn. II was the
one thought that his own action. his
thouphtlessness. his imprudence. had
stimulated the nassion that was DRIVING
the pitiful Young girl to a mad .house
He felt that the sacrifice Of his own
dreams of happiness was a trif,e in the
way of expiation. And for me-pray do
not smile at the idea-he somehow sub
tilely felt that he and l were
at one; that could only
desire and urge him to absolve himself
from any wrong-doing in the affair; that
it would be my wish-as it was my wish
that he should not suffer a lifelong
burden on his conscience, whether that
conscience was morbidly sensitive or
not, for the mere sake Of our own pres
