, If Paul hadn't been in love, and as
consequence ridiculously and insaneh
jealous, he would have seen and felt tina
truth itself looked out of that clear eye
and the pride of uprightness flushed thai
fair cheek; but, being in love, and Of
course, absurd, he persisted:
''But your absence last night, Eve.
Only explain that; tell me where you
were and what you were doing"
"Never-neverr' murmured Eve
growing crimson.
''Never? Think again, Eve. You
may never tell the world, but II have
a right to know"
''You are the last person in the world
whom l would tell!'' answered blunt,
impolitic Eve.
Paul sprang to his feet; for he had
seated himself beside her.
Farewell, and forever, Miss Ashton. "
Farewell, but not forever!' retorted
Eve, undaunted and indignant at his
want of faith. Not forever; for you
will one day find what injustice you
have done me and come to beg my par
DON" And catching up her garden
hat, she walked back to the house so
fast that, though she had chosen the
longest path. she was there as soon as
he. Mrs. Wallace met them with face
beaming with smiles.
''We've found it all out. Come up
to Ewes room. John, 60 and call Miss
Tartleton. Come Eve"
Bewildered, Eve followed her eager
hostess to her own room, where she
found Mr.. Wallace triumphant, and
Effie looking very odd and uncomfort-
able indeed
Presently in swept Belle.
''You all know" commenced Mr..
Wallace, ''that after Nell's curious |
story, which threw us all into so much |
confusion, l sent Miss Ashton out to
walk, and you see that she has Just re-
turned; and you, Maud, Lutte and Effie
are witnesses that Mrs. Wallace and
myself have been guilty of no double
dealing, and that the explanation of the
mystery lies here (apping Ewes jewel
casket), untouched, as when we discov-
cred it. Here it is Qifting out a heavy
gold band bearing the name of Belle
rarleton). would advise you not to
wear it the next time you arrange your
leighbor's jewelry, as the clasp is inse-
,ure, and you may find, as in this in
tance, that instead of running your
riend's character and happiness, you'll
'nly get bracelet for BRACELET
"Hush! you are too severe" whis-
,ered Mrs. Wallace.
''Not bit; she deserves the utmost /
ensure"
''Can you forgive mep" asked Paul of
