THE MlDLAN JOURNAL.

Austin Ravenswood still leaned back,
and answered the remarks of his fair
companion in his usual manner. but at
what cost?
"NOw, Sir Austin" Helen exclaimed,
"does this actress please your fastidious
taste both in appearance and acting >"
Entirely, Miss Courtney. She is
far too good to be hidden in the prov
inces."
"Quite true, Austin" said Lady
Mountfane.
II shall try to be first to throw her
my bouquet" added Miss Courtnay,
cor make you do it for me, Sir Aus
tin"
How little she guessed the feeling
that gave more warmth to his answer,
and made him begin to think her more
than lovely woman of fashion.
No, no, dear Miss Courtnay: let
generous beauty crown genius-not
such hand as mine"
The flush of pleasure deepened on
that fair cheek as she glanced up fleet
ingly.
Robert Denham could scarcely have
wished for more enthusiastic applause
than that which greeted him at the
conclusion of the drama.
Helen Courtnay's costly bouquet in
its gold holder, fell at Miss Valere's
feet.
A glance up, sweeping bow and
bright smile, told Helen that the actress
knew whence it had come, but only one
in all that theatre knew the bitter
sorrow and WEAKNESS of heart which
lay beneath that witching smile-with
all its brightness, SO pathetic.
And then she was gone from his
sight.
What was she? What had she been
to him then, this beautiful Viola
VALERIE?

CHAPTER w.
THE MANAGERS STORY.

The vehicles that had brought the
"May Bough" inns party were an
nounced at the stage-door.
But Robert Denham noticed that
Viola VALERIE looked very weary, and
whispered, at is a splendid night and
not very far to the May Bough,' nv
dear; would you like just to walk there
instead of sitting in these numbering
country figs?"
"Oh, please!-how kind you are!-if
you do not mind"
Mind! | much prefer it; my head
aches a little, and the walk will do it
good"
And so they started for their walk
home.
"We'll take the way round where the
road to the station turns off" he said:
"and then we shall get pretty bit of
country lane. How quiet these pro-
vincial streets are now; how still and
peaceful the night! Miss VALERIE, 1
don't think I've felt so well-happy for
eighteen years."
II am very glad" Viola answered,
softly, and with half-sigh that seemed
to say there was little happiness in her
heart. "It is we'll that even in our suf
ferings there are moments of rest-to
some, at least.
Not to her, he thought, as he an
swered, 81 suppose there are, then, mo-
ments when we can veil our skeleton
and shut the door on our past?"
"Not," she said, impulsively, eff that
past be too bitter, can we?"
81 do not think you could. child"
said Denham after apause; "and I
know that cannot"
They walked on in silence until they
had reached the outskirts of Loden of
which the manager had spoken, and AS
they entered this road, the sound of
wheels behind made both pause and
draw near the hedge as carriage came
almost up.
"Is this the way into Loden, mas
ter?" called the driver "I'm new here,
quite"
"Looks like it, said Denham; you're
adrift. Turn back, and keep the high
road to your right, and you'll be in
Loden in a few moments"
"Thank we, sir"
And the man turned his horse at once
and drove off briskly; the manager re-
marking, with laugh, as he turned to
look after the carriage, Ills fare will
find every place shut, | fancy"
And as he so turned woman looked
out from the retrpating vehicle straight
back at him, in the cold moonlight.
1t was but for an Instant: but in that
yecond Robert Denham, with a cry that
startled the actress, sprang from her
side after the carriage.
Only fifty yards or so, and then he
slapped, put up his hand as if dizzy,
and slowly returned
He sank down on felled tree, shak.
ing from head to foot.
Viola put her hand on his shoulder
with the touch that only tender, true
hearted woman can give; no word
she knew too well what suffering was
for that; but as she bent over the bowed
form, hot tear fell on his locked
hands.
He lifted CHASTITY face.
"Ah, child, child! may the phantom
of your past never rise up before you
as mine has done this night. How can
l thank you for your sweet, silent SYM
patty; how ask you to forgive me

CHAPTER V,
AFTER LONG YEARS.

SO that Saturday night had suddenly
risen before both those men the very
phantoms of the past; to the one
beneath the placid moonlight in a
lonely country road; to the other in q
theatre. behind the glitter and glare of
footllghts, speaking, moving before his
very eyes, and yet he must not, dare not,
for her sake, see her, speak to her, write
to her, the one being he loved, for whom
he had searched for seven years, dreary
years, and yet could not claim now that
chance had thrown her in his path
again. How could he know her so near,
and yet never see her, after all that
awful past, too-after parting which
neither had dreamed was to be for years
or for ever?
" l cannot-oh, I cannot let her go
without one wordr' he muttered, in his
passionate agony. eff she had only
waited, then, till came! Butnow, come
what may to myself, | will see her, if |
watch for weeks to meet her unseen.
| have wronged her enough, Heaven
knows, through my accursed, madden
ing folly. And yet-oh, my darling,
my darling!-How can I give up all
hopev'
He wandered forth, hardly taking
note of how far, or in what direction he
went, until he found himself on the
outskirts of his own long-deserted,
neglected property-Raven's Place
long since left to the rabbits and sole
charge of an old man and his wife.
How could the master bear the place
where every blade of grass, every tree,
every stone of the house, recalled her
who had been its mistress, and for three
short months, too cloudlessly happy to
last, made it paradise for him?
Yet, now he started, hesitated a
moment, and then vaulting lightly over
the half-broken paling, struck into the
thick, overgrown wooding.

CHAPTER III.
SCORING A SUCCESS.

=
the large Loden Theatre was crammed
from gallery to stalls.
GA good house, I'm glad to say, my
dear" said he to Viola VALERIE, as she
came into the green-room, attired in the
picturesque dress of ATr0h-na- POgue.
Cali the swell people of the town and
neighborhood in boxes and stalls. A
large party are here, too, from the
grand place of the county-Mountfane
Hail."
There was a secret eagerness or fear
under the next careless question. He
never guessed it.
Indeed. Who are the leading people
amongst them?"
"Don't know more than Adam, my
dear. My lord and my lady, of course,
and their guests-a lot of them"
She turned away. and made a remark
to Clifford Morton as he entered.
l suppose you have played in Lon
don before, Mr. Morton? ?"
"Oh, yes; but not for several years."
AZ suppose these Mountfanes are
very grand folks, are they not?"
al fancy they are, Miss VALERIE. They
are here tonight, though, so you will
see them"
Sir Austin Ravenswood occupied
box with his cousins wife, Lucy
Mountfane, Helen Courtney, and Mrs.
Ponsonby; and as he sat beside the
heiress, himself half yelled by the cur
tain, his view of the stage was perhaps
the best, after all-certainly no worse
than that of the ladies, who sat full in
front.
"You look" said Miss Courtnay,
glancing with pretty coquetry into his
handsome face, as if you were pre-
pared beforehand to be bored"
"My dear Miss Courtney, how could
I possibly be bored now?" was the
reply, with a glance that pointed the
compliment.
But perhaps you, used to the best
foreign school, pursued the young lady,
care thinking with some terror of what
the acting may be, in a provincial
town."
pardon me again, fair lady! Morton
is clever and rising, and you heard what
Mountfane said of this VALERIE; and if
the quotations on the bills are all true.
she has been well trained in Paris"
"Have you ever seen her?"
"No, never"
"They say she is beautiful" remarked
Miss Courtney, glancing keenly at him;
"but, then, they are so made up ON the
stage, are they not?'
Sometimes, if they are plain; but no
makeup can make an actress actually
beautiful, Miss Courtnay, unless she
really has claims"
"Weh, we shall soon see whether the
VALERIE wins the epithet beautiful
from your critical lips"
"Am 1 so very critical, Miss Court
nay?"
81 think so. Some minds form an
ideal, don't they, which reality can never
reach"
Never reach! Could he not see it?
When was it absent? A form, face
that long years ago had looked up in
his own from its resting-p!ace on his
bosom-at once his ideal and reality of
all all artist might worship and man
love- an exquisite statue. into which
the gods had breathed life, and warmth,
and soul. He saw it now as he leaned
back, yelling his looks with one hand;
saw the great, tender, dark eyes; the
soft, half-Greek outline; the broad, full
brow; the sweet, firm lips.
He had almost started when Helen
whispered, suddenly touching him,
"Look, look, Sir Austin! Heavens!

The day had passed quietly for
Robert Denham's company; and if two
of them bore heavy hearts, no one could
have guessed it-only when, after a
pleasant, early tea, Clifford Morton
proposed walk to the Mountfane
woods, Viola VALERIE excused herself.
She was tired, she said, and did not
care to walk far; and when they set off,
she stood at the garden-gate, and
watched them up the white road until
they were out of sight-quite out of
sight; and then slowly, as if shrinking,
yet irresistibly drawn, turned her looks
the other way-to Ravens Place-and
sighed heavily.
"All gone to rack and ruin" she said,
half aloud, and walked slowly towards
gate that led only to the back lane.
cts terrible pity, ma am, amt it ?"
said the fat, good-natured hostess
behind her. "And even a stranger
like yourself can't help feeling sorry;
but suppose Sir Austin couldn't abide
the place after his-the young lady
leaving him. Why, he has never been
down at the Hall-his cousin's-till this
autumn. He was in the theatre last
night"
The actress did not start now, nor
utter a sound; but, for moment, no
marble statue could have been more
still, more colorless.
Then, slowly, the delicate hands were
moved from the little gate and pressed
against her bosom, as she said, care
lessly, "With the Hall party, of
course?"
Oh, yes, ma'am; in box with Lady
Mountfane and another lady, and that
pretty Miss Courtney, the heiress
a-sitting by her. He was behind the
curtain" said the good dame, with q
knowing little feminine laugh, that
hardly needed the next words of explain
alton" They do say about that he's
counting her"
"Do they?" The actress laughed
slightly. Who knew so well as herself
what mere gossip that was? "Probab,y
man of fashion pays to lovely
woman, Mrs. Moss"
"Very likely so, ma'am. You saw her,
didn't you-the lady who threw the first
bouquet to you?'
Eyes; lovely face" Viola opened
the gate as she spoke; adding, AZ
shall stroll up the road little: it will
do me good, think"
"Soit will, my dear. Goodbye. then"
~ The hostess nodded and smiled as the
actress passed out, and watched the
graceful figure till it turned aside up q
lane ahead.
"Why," said Mrs. Moss, "tnat there
lane leads nowhere, only to the back
part of the wild, neglected Ravens
Place grounds. But she don't know
that, of course"
Exactly what Viola VALERIE did know,
and took that lane for no other reason
but because that poor heart craved for
one glimpse of that well-known place,
if she might not, dared not see him
again-so near her, yet SO terribly
