made scarcely any calls. The Judge ha

The wedding had taken place about
the first Of October, on the return of tho
Nolcns and Judge Ketelle from the sea.
side; and after short honeymoon they
settled in their new dwelling early in
November The judge attended to bust
ness down town every day; his wife
spent her mornings at home. and in the
afternoons was fond of driving out in
the park in her brougham. occasionally
accompanied by her mother, but more
often alone. The weather was cold but
very fine, and the hue of the autumn
leaves was unusually beautiful. But
those who happened to see the face of
the young wife at the window Of her
brougham forgot all about the autumnal
foliage and had their thoughts filed
with the memory Of another kind Of
loveliness.
One afternoon, while passing the chill
drcns play ground. Mrs Ketcllo caused
the coachman to stop his horses in order
that she might watch the little creatures
at their games, for nothing pleased her
more than the spectacle OF children hav-
ing a good time.
After remaining a few minutes, she
was about TO give the order TO move on.
when her attention was attracted TO a
gentleman who was standing with his
back partly turned towards her in foot

way. He was tall and well made; he
wore thin cape ulster of dark tweed
and a black felt hat with curved brim
"A sort Of fashionable modification of
the picturesque Tyrolese headgear. Of
his face she could see only the outline of
the check and brow; he had a mustache
and a short, closely cut beard.
Why was it that the sight Of this man
produced so strange and powerful an
upon her? She asked herself
this question. but could give no satisfac-
tory answer. Sutsly he was not an ac-
quaintance Of hers! And yet there was
about him that not only ar
rested her gaze but sent a thrill to her
heart. as if particles Of ice and fire were
being driven through it. Her hands be-
came cold and her teeth chartered, and
get her cheeks were burning and drops
stood on her forehead
The gentleman turned slowly to re-
,ume his walk. As his face came more
ully into view Mrs. Ketelle caught her
breath with a sharp sound, and her fin

Ups were parched and her tongue dry.

through her eyes. Was it a dream? Was
e a phantom! Could she be deceived by
ONE marvellous resemblance? Oh, would
