telegram, sir, and left his regrets and
adieux with me for you, sir"
This in answer to Guys interrogatory
look.
Hes gone then, has he?"
The well-trained man manifested no
surprise at the white, desperate face,
or hoarse, restrained voice of his mas
ter.
Just gone, sir. Mrs. Ravenden or
dered the dogcart out for him."
"Yes-that's all right"
And Guy walked on, half-dazedly
toward the lovely room where he knew
he would find her, and where he had
resolved to confront her with her sin.
She was there, just as he had expect
ed, and in the dim light he saw her
face was buried in her hands, and that
on her dress lay picture mans pic
ture, he had no doubt, and Cyril kester-
tons picture, he could swear too without
seeing, and his wife-his wife!-he Set
his teeth together-crying because her
lover had gone.
She did not hear him until he was so
near that he stopped and picked up the
photograph crushing it in his hand.
Then she gave little startled cry, and,
accustomed to the dusky shadows, he
could see vivid flush surge over her
cheeks. And he remembered how he
had often wished he might be able to
bring just such a conscious color to her
face for loves sake. And here, the
very first time, twas shame's sake, and
his influence and her fear, instead of
affection.
II was looking for you; l wanted
YOU he said, tersely, even now won
dering how he could say the words that
would shut her out of his life.
"And-I was wishing you would
come" she answered in a strangely
low, thrilling tone. II wanted you,
too. | had-I have-something to--let
you know"
All! he knew already, curses on Cyril
Kestcrton's handsome face! And he
crushed the picture in his furious grasp
again.
"Do you remember once Of hearing
me speak Of my only sister, whom had
not seen since we were children?
Well" and rapid eagerness came in
her voice, lit seems so strange, but
Mr. KeSterton and she''-Guy started
and shuddercd-"have been engaged
some time-until quite lately, when
some foolish arrangement arose Git was
Adde'S fault, | believe, from what can
learn, and the poor fellow is heart
broken over it. He has prayed me to
intercede for him with her; he has given
me her address and hcrpicture Where
did you lay it, Guy? Only think-my
own, own little sister, | did not know
was alive! Oh! Guy, am 50 thankful!
And | told Cyril | thought was sure
he might hope after Just little.n
Guy had sat there, listening with al
most fainting pulses, his brain recling
with rapturous relief, but with such an
awful, dying sensation creeping over
him, that at last, when she had done.
she looked eagerly into his pale face to
be terrified into wild alarm.
"What is the matter? You are i'll.
and | have been thoughtlcs,ly talking
of things that do not interest YOU Guy
what is the matterP Oh, my darling
my darling! don't die just when | am
beginning TO love you SOP
1t was like n sudden elixir to him, in
the midst of that awful nervous pros
traticn.
Grace! What! You love so well as
thatP You love so well rs thatm
His voice tremblcd like woman's.
and Grace went down on her knees at
his feet, her glorious face uplifted her
eyes endorsing the story her lips utter
cd.
ooh, | do do! II has come to mo
like u heavenly revelation. Oh, my
husband, ] thank heaven for the great
joy that it has sent to me! Take me
your arms, Guy, and say my wilep"
The sudden royulson of feeling
brought Guy Ravensden intense relief,
and he silently folded his wife TO his
