bachelor myself, but I am told that
children value such gauds.'
The baby stretched out her hand for
the bauble, and Lorrimer surrendered
it. The sense of his own goodness of
heart was too much for him, and his
eyes became so moist that he had to
retire to the window, where he blew
his nose and waved his pocket-hand-
kerchief with an air of great nonchal-
ance. But Mrs. Tregarthen knew why
he had retired, and she herself began
to cry out of weakness and despair and
gratitude, and Lorrimer blew his nose
with violence, as if he were aggravated
with it, and had a spite to wreak upon
it. His emotion and his friendliness
won upon the lonelywoman's heart, and
by and by he began to pour out golden
promises upon her. She was silent for
long time, but at last he grew so
warm that he asked her the one ques-
ton in his mind.
" How do you hope to live at all I'M
less you take the chances you have?'
g L thought she said, .'that l could
make living by writing
The gesture she used sent his glance
to the table. He approached and
picked up the letter which lay there,
and then turned over a folio or two of
the great pile of manuscript
"Ah!" he said. "And you find you
can't9 Well, my dear madam, here
lies Ell Dorado before you. You have
only to say Yes to my proposal, and
you can leave this wretched hole at
once, and 60 to the best hotel in Lon
don. You can dress like princess,
and you can command comfort and re-
tinement for your child. Oh, madam,
madam" cried the manager, with
tears in his voice, ''for your child's
sake, do not let me plead with you in
vain!'
If Lorrimer were half humbug,
she at least was all in earnest in her
thoughts.
YES she answered; 81 will do
what you wish. will 90 back to the
stage again-for the child's sake!'
Next day saw her once more attired
like lady, and located in sumptuous
private apartments. Lorrimer was
here, there and everywhere, spreading
the glorious news.

CHAPTER vI-CoNTINUED
The woman paused on the dark land
ing, and knocked at door invisible to
Lorrimer.
Come inE" said voice in reply; and
the knocker entered.
"A gentleman to see you, ma'am,"
she said, in voice for which Lorrimer
could have thrown her down the stairs
He knew one side of the world and of
human nature pretty well. and he read
the hypocrisy and Precipitation of the
carneying tone. He could have sworn
that the woman habitually buIled her

Tell him." said Mrs. Tregarthen,
in frightened voice, that I can not
see him.
Lorrmer was in the room already,
and had taken in half its sorrowful de-
tails at glance. A bed in a corner,
with little bundle lying on it, chair;
a table; a few dresses hanging on a
wall from which the paper dripped in
moist festoons; rusty CRATE, empty.
Madam" said the manager, adj
vancing, you must not decline to see
me- / come as friend
Pity had the better of managerial en-
terprise for moment at least, and the
room went dim to Lorrimer's eyes.
Mrs. Tregarthen. in shabby black
dress which made her pale face look
paler than it was, stood Gin an attitude
In which she had arisen from her seat
on the side of the bed) with both hands
on the table. her whole figure shrink
ing like that of any weak, wild creature
when suddenly alarmed.
.'Oblige me by leaving us, if you
please said Lorrimer to the landlady.
The woman reluctantly withdrew, and
Lorrimer held the door open to watch
her down the stairs. He could not help
being STACEY, for use is second nature,
but he was thoroughly in earnest when
he turned: my poor. dear creature
don't mind me talking to you in this
way-rm old enough to be your father

earth do you mean by living in place

breathe since his first entrance to the
room, and her eyes said: '.Leave me,
for PHYS sake!'' il ever eyes said any
thing. But, as he paused, the bundle
on the bed began to move, and feeble
cry came from ii. She darted to it,
peeled from it, swiftly and delicately,
the shswl which EMBODIED it, and took
it to her arms. A baby! ''Oh, Lord!"
groaned the manager, with tears in his
eyes again, chow can you have the
heart to throw away such prospects as
you have, when you've got such claims
upon youa"
She looked at him wildly and walked
up and down the room rocking the cry

CHAPTER VII.

While Mrs. Tregarthen was affecting
herself with unnecessary miseries, her
husband was suffering from griefs less
easily to be avoided. The copy-books
say that Innocence is bold" and it is
one of the conventional arguments
against a Suspect that he runs away.
AS matter of course, the running
away is merely an indication of char
acter, and has nothing to do with guilt
or innocence. The shrug of surprised
pity at the benighted accuser, the
placid mien of assured innocence,
the martyrs resignation and the saints
forgiveness are things familiar in our
courts OF. justice, and are displayed
there, never by the innocent, but daily
by the branded rascals who use them
as a part of stock in trade. But it
takes much experience to kill phrase,
and Innocence is (stilD bold'' in the
copy-books and the apprehension of
the unworldly.
Mrs. Tregarthen's flight, her foolish,
innocent letter and her continued ST.
lence were enough to prejudice the
most trusting of men against her. The
real motive of her fight was absurdly
inadequate to anybody who could sur
vey the case dispassionately. To Ire
garthen it's inadequacy seemed exag-
gerated, because he, better than any
outsider could have known it, knew
his own readiness to forget and for
give the small deceit of which his wife
had been guilty-if that were all. The
agonized letter, with its talk about
equity deceit" and unknown past"
seemed to point to more than the wick
edness of a month or two upon the
stage, and when week after week
dragged by and brought no news from
the runaway, Tregarthen's first sus-
picions and fears were, bit by bit, con-
frmed, until they settled into dreadful
certainty.
He dismissed and paid the architect
and the builder, and brought the works
at Tregarthen to close. Blocks Of
stone, rough or trimmed, balks of tim
Der, mounds of mortar and tracts of
trodden lime defaced the grass before
the old mansion, and were left there un-
heeded-a visible sign of hopes aban-
doned. A new unfinished wall or two
Knocked the ruins and the whole place
was desolate with the signs of raw re-
pair. Tregarthen left the house in
which he had resided during his brief
married life and went back to the home
of his fathers.
As may be guessed, the whole coun-
tryside was alive with speculation.
Where everybody was equally ignorant
it was natural that there should be
many who were the sole repositories of
ruth; and it was equally natural that all
;he versions set about by these enlight-
sned people should differ. But, how
soever they differed in detail, it was re-,
narkable to notice how they agreed in |
,he main point. The old story against |
rregarthen revived and took additions
20 itself, and it was settled by |
common consent that he had done |
dreadful, and that Mrs. |
rregarthen had been compelled |
% desert him. Some of the hungrier
after melodrama found shivery hints
If murder in the story and dropped
|ayings about convenient caves on Ire
,arthen Island.
In Tregarthen's mind his wife's
light was a thing of long ago before
obvious reflection occurred
o him. She had given him her fort /

The treatment received by some
of the ladies Of Nicksburg, who are
circulating petitions against the sa

in the temperance column of the
Evening Post, the sentiment of which
will be applauded by the true man
hood of Mississippi:
We would gently remind some of
the ANIMALS who are disposed TO in
suit ladies who carry around peti-
tions against whisky that this is
America, this is the South, this is
Mississippi, that they are living in;
that there are some veteran eX Con
fedcrate soldiers around here; that
there are some double, harreled shot
guns and plenty OF buck-shot; and
that juries do not often convict
when men are tried for killing
brutes who insult ladies.
Ladies, you have done noble work
in the last few days. Go on; there
are good men, brave men, honest
true men, who will aid you and give
you their hearty approval.
