ATLANTA, GA. Dec. 23-If appears that the

pal The mora I thought Of the matter the
more Wretched / grav. The dread that she
had been insome way deceived almost drove
me mad. The thought Of my proud, beauti-
full queen some day finding herself humbled
to the dust by a scoundrers deceit was an
guish. What could Idoi
My first impulse was to demand an expla-
nation, then and there, from Sir Mervyn
Ferrand. Yet / had no right or authority
so to do. What was l to Philippa save an
unsuccessful sutton? Moreover, l felt that
she had revealed her secret to me in conf
donce. II there were good reasons for the
concealment, l might do her irretrievable
harm by letting this man know that l was
aware Of his true position in society. No, l
could not call him to account. But l must
do something, or in time to come my grief
may be rendered doubly deep by self-re-
proach.
The next day l called upon Philippe. She
would at least tell me if the name under
which the man married her was the true or
the false one. Alasl l found that she had
left her home the day before-left it to re-
turn no more! The landlady had no idea
whittier she had gone, but believed it was
her intention to leave England.
After this l threw prudence to the winds.
With some trouble l found Sir Mervyn Fer
rand's town address. The next day l called
on him. He also, was informed, had just
left England. His destination was also In
known.
l turned away modify. All chance of
doing good was at an end. Letthe marriage
be true or false, Philippa had departed, ac-
'companied by the man who, for purposes Of
his own, passed under the name of Farmer,
but who was really Sir Mervyn Ferraud.
/ went back to my home, and amid the
wreck of my LIES happiness murmured a
prayer and registered a oath. prayed
that honor and happiness might be the lot
of her Iloved; l swore that were she wronged
l would with my own hand take vengeance
on the man who wronged her.
For myself l prayed nothing-not even
forgetfulness, Iloved Philippa; 1 had lost
her forever! The past, the present, the fu-
ture were all summoned up in these wordsl

Philippe as Isdtc her theR-ds Isee her now.
Heavens! how fair she wasl How glorious
her rich, dark beauty How different from
the pink-white and yellow dolls whom Ihave
seen exalted as the types of perfection!
Warm Southern blood ran through her
veins and tinged her clear brown cheek
with color. Her mother was an English
woman; but it was Spsin that gave her
daughter that exquisite grace, those won
drous dark eyes and long, curled lashes, that
mass Of soft black hair, that passionate,
impulsive nature, and perhaps that queen
like carriage and dignity. The English
mother may have given the girl many good
gifts, but her beauty came from the father,
whom she had never known the A%ndalusian,
who died while she was but a child in arms.
Yet, in spite of her foreign grace, Philippa
was English. Her Spanish origin was to
her but a tradition. Her foot had never
touched her fathers native land. its Ian
guage was strange to her. She was born
in England, and her father, the nature of
whose occupation / have not been able to
ascertain, seems to have spent most of his
time in this country.
When did l learn to love herl Ask me,
rather, when did we first meet9 Even then,
as my eyes fell upon the girl, l knew, as by
revelation, that for me life and her love
meant one and the same thing. Till that
moment there was no woman in the world
the sight of whom would have quickened
my pulse by a beat had read and heard
Of such love as this. l had laughed at it.
There seemed no room for such an engross-
ing passion in my busy life. Yet all at once
Iloved as man has never loved before; and
as l sit tonight and gaze into the fire l tell
myself that the objectless life l am leading
IS the only one possible for the mar who
loved but failed to win Philippe.
Our first meeting was brought about in the
most prosaic way. Her mother, who suf-
fered from a chronic disease, consulted me
professionally. My visits, first those of a
doctor, soon became those of a friend, and |
was free to WOO the girl to the best of my
ability.
Philippa and her mother lived in a small
house on the outskirts of the town. They
were notrich people, but had enough to keep
the pinch Of poverty from their lives. The
mother was a sweet, quiet, ladylike
woman, who bore her sufferings
with resignation. Her health was.
indeed, wretched. The only thing
which seemed likely to benefit her was a
continual change of air and scene. After
attending her for about six months, l was
in Conscience bound to indorse the opinion
Of her former medical advisers, and tell her
it would be well for her to try another
change.
My heart was heavy as I gave this adj
vice If adopted, it meant that Philippa
and ! must part.
But why, during those six months, had /
not, passionately in love as l was, won the
young girls hearth Why did she not leave
me as my aflanced bride9 Why did / let
her leave me at ALA
The answer is short. She loved me not.
Not that she had ever told me 50 in words
a never asked her in words for her love.

OumuF
Four days after my interview with Phil.
ippa l was walking with a friend who knew
every one in town. AS we passed the door
of one of the most exclusive of the clubs ]
saw, standing on the steps talking to other
men, the man whom l knew was Philippa's
husband. His face was turned from me, so
was able to direct my friends attention to
him.
"Who is that mang" l asked.
"That man with the gardenia in his coat
is Sir Mervyn Ferrand."
"Who is he9 What is hea What kind OF
q man is heT
"a baronet. Not very rich. Just about
the usual kind of man you see on those
steps. Very popular with the ladies, they
tell me-"
'Is he marriedp
"Heaven knowsl I don't. Inever heard
of a Lady Ferrand, although there must be
several who are morally entitled to use the
designation"
And this was her husband-PhilippaI

1 clinched my teeth. Why had he mar
ried under a false name9 Or If she knew
that name by which she introduced him tc
me was false, why was it assumed9 Why
had the marriage been clandestine2 Not

When this story Of my life, or Of such pOr-
tions Of my life as present any out-of-the-
common features, Is read, it will be found
that / have committed errors Of Judgment
that / have slnned not only socially, but also
against the law of the land. In excuse can
plead but two things-the strength Of love,
the weakness of human nature.
If these carry no weight with you, throw
the book aside. You are too good for me;
am too human for you We cannot Dc
friends. Read no further.
Ineed say nothing about my childhood;
nothing about my boyhood. Let me hurry
on to early manhood-to that time when the
wonderful dreams Of youth begin to leave
one: when the impulse which can drive So
Der reason aside must be, indeed, a strong
one; when one has learned to count the cost
Of every rash step; when the transient and
htful flames of the boy have settled down to
q steady, glowing fire which will burn until
only ashes are left; when the strength, the
nerve, the intellect, Is or should be at its
height; when, in short, one's years number
thirty.
Yet. what was I them A soured, morose,
disappointed man; without ambition, with
out care for the morrow; without a goal or
objectin life. Breathing. eating, drinking, as
by instinct. Rising in the morning, and
wishing the day was over; lying down at
night, and caring little whether the listless
eyes l closed might open again or not.
And why? Ali to know why you must sit
with me as | sit lonely over my glowing fire
one winter night. You must read my
thoughts; the pictures of my past must rise
before you as they rise before me. My sor-
row, my hate, my love must beyours. You
must, indeed, be my very self.
You may begin this retrospect with trl-
umpb. You may 80 back to the day when,
after having passed my examination with
high honors, l, Basil North, was duly en-
titled to write NJ. D. after my name, and set
to work to win FAINT and fortune by
doing my best toward relieving the suffer
ings OF my fellow creatures. You may say,
as l said then, as l say now, "a noble
career; a life full Of interest and useful
ness
You may see me full of hope and courage,
and ready for any amount of hard work;
settling down in a large provincial town,
resolved to beat out q practice for myself.
You may see how, after the usual initiatory
struggles, my footing gradually grew
flrmer; how my name became familiar; how
at last Iseemed to be in a fair way Of win
ming success.
Yeu may see how for a while a dream
Frightened my life how that dream faded
and let gloom in its place. You may see
the woman l loved.
No, l am wrong. Her you cannot see.
Only | myself can see Philippe as l saw her
then-as | see her now.

The petition of 55I names, asking

The petition of 551 names, asking
for ) commissioners for Sully county
came up before the Go. Commissioners
on Saturday, but the Board adjourned
to Monday. On Monday the question
again came up and the Board again
adjourned to June 18th without taking
final action. There seems to be an
opinion that a determined effort will be
made to defeat the will of the petition
ers in this respect, but all such efforts
must necessarily prove abortive. There
is no prerogativc in the matter, the law
being mandatory upon the question,
stating emphatically upon petition of
one third of the legal voters of any
county, which in tins ease is 338, their
request shall be granted and specifying
the manner in which it shall be done
As the law now stands the people out
side the petitioners have no voice in
the matter, and certainly the Commits
sioners cannot object to having two
others to share the responsibility with
them. and we know that they do not
have the egotism to hold that in the
great county of Sully there are no two
others who can add wisdom TO their
deliberations in the transaction Of the
county business and the financial af-
fairs Of the people. If it is judicious
tor the little county of Hyde, with less
than IS townships outside of the Vim
nebago reserve, to have commission
ers. 1t would seem to he almost doublN
80 for Sully with nearly 80 townships.
Beadle, Sphinx and Faulk also have five
