"Sitting ut table yeti" Then he would rise
and draw her jeweled hand through his arm
and show her through her whole home She
would be so delighted with the library; he
was sure everything there would please her
exquisite taste. He had never enjoyed the
room, though it was so perfect; there had
been something dreary to him in its classic
simplicity. But now everything would be
changed. Then he would lead her to the
drawing room, and would make her sit down
again before the long silent piano, which had
given out not one tone of music since her
white fingers had last caressed its glistening
keys. And she would play and sing for him
while he dreamed of the new rare life of
beauty and peace tiia3 was to be niS hence
forth.
He glanced at the face of the envelope; but
it was not for a moment more that the mist
of Joy cleared from before his eyes enough to
read the words stamped on its upper corner

Philip Breton! He tore open the envelope
patiently; probably a begging letter. He
unfolded the sheet he found within. AT the

address, ana DelOW Une ADVERTISEMENT ABOUT

to read what the man hat written to him.
DEAR SIR: understand you will have
just returned from your wedding journey
when this reaches you. am sorry to inter-
rupt your bliss but it will be very important
for you to call upon me Immediately upon
your receipt of this communication. You
may wonder how my advertisement about
divorces which your observant eyes will have
detected at the top of this page can concern
you. If you call on me at once will be able
to explain that and several other points Of
interest to you. Very truly yours,
JOHN T. GIDDINGS.
Philip spread the letter open on the table
cloth before him, and read it again and more
carefully. He seemed very slow to take its
meaning Then he folded it very accurately
and put it in his pocketbook He rose to bis
feet and rang the bell for the maid. How
cool he was. He showed no sign Of having
received terrible blow, unless it was by
passing his hand wearily across his forehead
once or twice.

have taught mankind.
"1hey snail leave the house at once" she
said at last, as she turned to go back into the
room He thought his prayers had moved
her But she knew her plot had failed; she
had wrung his heart, but his will was un-
moved. She made a virtue of her necessity
Philip would be grateful to her forever, but
there would he something else, perhaps

"How pale you are, Philip. Are you

she took his arm, and they passed up the
hall.

he tried to smile as his hand closed over her
fingers like an iron wise, it was cold and
strong
But how sad he was, as if an exquisite
piece of sculpture that he loved had fallen
from great height and been shivered into a
thousand fragments. The hope and joy of
his life seemed slipping away from him.
That little childs face hung between him
and the bride who was promising to be faith
fulfil she only had been faithful to him;
its baby hands seemed to shield her bosom
from him, its quavering cries to reproach
Ism for daring to kiss its mother. SO small
and sweet baby, but its face seemed threat

The minister had taken his seat. Was he
really married to the golden haired woman
whose hand he held to tightly! Was this the
moment he had dreamed of as marking his
entrance into a new ideal life! Had he said
everything correctly! He could not remem-

about this at least. oh yes, it was now he
was to kiss his wife. He held her to his heart
an instant. This was his wife, but joy was
dead behind his dry, feversh lips, and his
smile, meant to cheer her, was as if some
terrible pain was gnawing every moment at
his heart. But Bertha appeared to notice
nothing wrong.
The train which bore away the bridal pair
had not Travelled a great many miles when
something caused Philip to look in tae seat
behind them. There sat the portly woman,
with her chin at last depressed in slumber,
and the baby with Bertha S eyes and Currans
mouth. One of Bertha's coils of hair had
become loosened, and braid of golden hair
hung over the back of the seat 'as she let her
head rest on her husbands shoulder. Ber
tha's ewes were closed drowsily, the nurse in
the seat behind nodded in her dreams, but
the child reached out its baby hands to play
with its mothers golden tresses The young
husband watched the child's lips forming
again and a.an one word, "mamma," the
wife fell asleep and dreamed she was the hap

head every throb of the mans heart was an

CHAPTER XVII.
A LEGAL DISTINCTION.

"Ah, Mr. Breton, yes, yes, was sure you
would come"
The lawyer pulled two chairs together near
his office table. John 7. Giddings had
changed great deal since the time when he
undertook to engineer the corporation
scheme. Apparently he was going down hill
very fast, without brakes. His eyes wore
CLASSY look, as if he had just walked from
drunken sleep The smooth roundness of his
checks was gone, his lower jaw was strongly
marked, and his nose seemed drawn out and
sharpened to give the effect Of bird of prey.
Philip glanced significantly about the room.
The lawyer followed his eyes and laughed
Changed some, aren't veal lack of
money. Actually, you have no idea how $40
even would furbish this old table and polish
this floor. Times aint as they were, Mr. Bre-
ton, in the old days, when used to get fat fees
out of men like your father. Nice man, your
father But" and he leered meaningly at
his visitor, "when we do get q chance for a
dollar l tell you we jump at it." He tipped
back his chair against his half filled book
shelves and peered familiarly into Philips
stern face. "Why, look at those dirty fel
lows back by the door Time was | wouldn't

and cuffs But now for business. l suppose
you were little astonished to get my let
ter!'
II should prefer not to have listeners, re-
marked Philip, coldly.
''Oh, well, will finish with these fellows
first, then. l thought you might be i'm
patient"
mot at all, SIR"
The lawyers clothes were threadbare and
soiled, and the black felt hat that he wore,
indoors and out, well slouched over his eyes,
was torn in the crown. Philip compared
him with his shabby looking callers, and
could not see but the clients looked as well as
their patron. But at every sign of poverty
and degradation his heart sank lower and
lower, for the man must be reckless and
hungry as a man eating shark. If it lay in
his, power to rack the life out Of victim
ths man could have no restraint of character
or decency to hold back his hand. Could
there be anything he knew about Bertha's
past, that terrible gap Philip had not tried
to look into' He dared not think. Impatient.

seemed to be studying her features, as if t.

lie stepped to the sdeboard and touched
his servant on the shoulder and beckoned
him to the door. The malicious grin had
hardly time to vanish from the frightened
face.
"Go." the words came kissing from his
masters lips, "and if l ever see your face
again, or if you ever breathe word against

man skunk up stairs like a whipped dog.
"Why. l didn't notice you had been out"
said Bertha in mild surprise as Philip re-en-
tered the dining room "Were you i'll? How
pale you are"
But she did not rise in her solicitude and
come to him. Instead he came to her, ard
bending very gently over her tried to kiss
away the lines of care on her white forehead
which he had never caused. He did his best
to smile gayly, and succeeded well enough to
deceive her.
Il will be your servant to-day" he said,
with no profane eyes to look on"
Then he shook off his unhappiness by sheer
force of will, and began to talk lovers non
sense to the col mistress of his home III more
perfect abandon than ever, even i'll the ex.
uberance of his youth He must be happy
while he could, he dared not stop talking, lest
he should think too much. But she only
looked at him in far OFF surprise, with row
and then a curious, not quite pleased smile,
at his absurdities. At last, all too soon, she
arose.
Il ISust go and dress and try and look q
little lrettier, for today at least" She
touched his shoulder kindly as she passed out
into the hail. leaving him sitting still at
table
1t was only then that he discovered letter
that had been concealed by plate. What
did he care for business today2 Still it might
serve to pass little of the time till his wife
should return. How the thought of her
warmed his heart. In few moments the
door behind him would open, and he would
turn TO see her graceful form on the thresh-
old She would be dressed in some new color,
or perhaps in the black that gave her the air
of a dethroned queen. By this time she must
have thought of some kind thing to say to
