off himself when he went out, which would
be in half an hour. The detective was hardly
likely to follow the doctors brougham. or to
suspect his errand. and If he: did he would
get no information from him. AS o medical
man any information that came into his
hands through a patient was sacred.
This task accomplished, Rose went back
and tried to comfort and sooth the invalid.
At 10 o'clock the female detective went
away. The man remained till midnight. He
knew that some one was i'll in the house. He
had seen the servant go for the doctor, and
he had seen Mrs. Smedley go to the doctor
1t was probably Miss Elmore. The case was
getting more complicated than ever, but he
made up his mind that the Young. lady
wouldn't oblige him by coming out while he
was there, and so he went away.
1t was evident to him that for the present
he was foiled. That John Smedley was in
London he felt sure that he was the actor
who called himself Wilson he was convinced.
and his view was strengthened by the fact
that ne had ascertained through his female
assistant that Miss Elmore had given no adj
dress at the agents except a well-known
post ofice, where people of all sorts were in
the habit of having their letters left.
The n.,t morning Miss Elmors was much
better. Rose had watched her till she slept.
and had then gone to lie Town on the sofa in
the slttlng-room.
She was so much better that towards middle

Then she and Rose talked the situation
over, and little by little the young actress told
her story.
She had been playing with q company in
America when she first met Wilson, who was
then taking to the stage. He was not a good
actor, but he was a gentleman and made him
self agreeable, and people liked him. They
saw a good deal of each other. and they fell
in love. He asked her to be his wife aud she
consented. and they were married. Soon after
wards she heard that her mother was seriously
Ill in England, and she wanted to return and
see her. At first her husband objected, but at
last, upon thinking 1t over. he consented, but
she noticed that he seemed very nervous as
soon as they landed upon English soil, She
returned to find her mother dead. All their
funds had been exhausted by the journey,
and she proposed that they should get en-
gagements in England. At last she succeeded
in obtaining one with q travelling COMPANY
for herself and her husband. One night, in
q little town near London, n message was
brought to her husband that u gentleman
named Marlborough wanted to see hun. He
was terribly agitated, and exclaimed; My

The young actress put her hand to her

her lips were blue. In another second she
fell back upon the sofa senseless.
Rose rang the bell for the servant and told
her to fetch a doctor at once; then she tried
10 force the poor girls lips open and give her
some brandy. She was terribly alarmed at
her appearance, and wondered what she
should do # the illness was serious.
When the doctor came he shook his head

Put to bed at once!" exclaimed Rose,
"she doesn't live here. She Is almost a
stranger to me. She will be well enough to
go home tonight ?"
"Certainly not. To attempt such a thing
would be to kill her."
Rose hesitated no more. With the help of
the servant. poor Miss Elmore was placed in
Roses bed. and as soon as she had recovered
a little the doctor ordered her to be kept
perfectly quiet, and leaving Rose certain in
structions, he went away.
1t was 7 O'Clock in the evening when he
left, and Rose, now thoroughly bewildered,
wondered what on earth she should do.
Here was the woman she actually believed to
he her husbands mistress lying i'll In her
house, and she was nursing her. II would
be cruel of her to tell the poor girl the truth
now. For the present at any rate she must
be kept In ignorance of that. The shock
might kill her.
But what Of the man who was somewhere,

to SIT up in bed. and was gently restrained by
Rose. You must let me go home indeed

There was no longer any doubt in Roses

Certainly. ma'am, and welcome"
The landlady went upstairs and fetched the
letter and gave it to Rose. She looked at it,
and a chill feeling crept over her heart.
The last doubt was removed. II was her
husbands writing. She had always believed
that Wilson was her husband, but the GER
tainty was a shock to her, none the less;
She took the letter home, She was bound
to give it to Kate. 1t might contain some
thing that it was necessary she should know
at once. .
Kate opened it, read it and then let it fall
with a crv of anguish. The next moment
she buried her face in her hands and burst
Rose picked it up and read IL.
1t was q heartless letter. 1t told poor Kate,
in a few words, that the nan she had toiled
and shaved for, the man for whom she had
almost starved, had let his cowardice get the
better of him. He said that the nervous
dread was killing him, and he couldn't stop
in London. He thought they would do better

and be happy.
The letter omitted to say that througha
friend in the profession Jack had heard of q
sudden vacancy In q company going 10 luuios
and that, as it was only q vacancy for one, he
had thought II better to accept it and be on
and leave his wife to shift for herself.
He is q coward cried Rose, " q misera-

But Kate did fret. For q time she was
almost heartbroken. She little knew what

but only one of them knows 1t. They have
both been deceived and deserted by the same
man.
Rose has made up her mind that she viii
never let Kate know the truth, though now
both of them are free to marry again.
The death of an English actor named VII

American papers.
His death was the result of a pistolshot
which was administered to him in q drinking

that if he were taken he would be sent to
prison for years. She was terrified, and they
left the place Mt once and came to London.
Jack after that rarely went out. He seemed
in constant terror Of being recognized. They
were very poor and she had had to pawn to
pay their rent. Then they saw the adver-
semen for an actor and an actress to go to
that would be the best thing for them, and
he had sent her to try and get the engage

Agreat pity welled up in the heart of Rose
Smedley for this poor girl who had been so
loyal to the man she loved. She ceased to re-
gard her as a rival, and looked upon her only
as q fellow-victim.
But now more than ever she felt bitter
against her husband, and determined to let
him see that his baseness was known to her.
Then he might go to the Cape If he liked.
She would not raise a finger TO stop him. But
no mercy she might show him would enable
him to atone for the wrong he had done Kate

Leaving her home, Rose went out. She was
determined some way TO zee John Smedley
that day. She looked around her to make
sure mat the mouse was not Watcneu, anu
saw the detective at the top of the street.
He had resumed his watch. But as she came
out his back was turned for a moment. A
few doors below was a corner OF the street
round this Mrs. Smedley darted. Then she
stopped we'll out of sight and waited. If the
detective had seen her he would como after
her at once.
She waited q few minutes and he did not
come. Then she was sure that he had not
seen her leave the house, but was still watch
ing it.
She was safe now. She went up the side

made her way into Holborn; there she took
a cab and drove to the address given by Kate

Rose had thought of that. But how was 1t

the means of giving them the clue they
wanted to his whereabouts and she was de-
