before he left; he did not intend him to play
the fool with Annie. Why, she was losing
her looks and getting thinner every day..
So one grilling hot midday, when the
birds were silent from sheer exhaustion, the
insect world had crept away to doze among
the foliage, four-footed creation slept be-
meath the shady trees, and there was scarce
murmur to break the stiffness of the sum-
mer air, Colonel Clareford seized knottv
stick, which was his constant companion in
his walks, and with a glare in his eyes as
though he defied the very sun itself, he
started in search of the reoaleitrsnt lover.
. Before he reached the abbey he saw Hdgo
walking in an opposite direction, and, his
mind on suspicion bent, he at once decided
that he was being avoided.
"Hol hullo there, Burnett" he shouted in
voice, the tones OF which sounded like
mimic thunder in the still air.
Hugo, startled with the idea that some
thing was wrong, looked around suddenly,
and on his usually bright face there was
such terrified expression that he bore no
resemblance to himself.
"What is it? What is it, Colonel Clare
ford?" he asked hurriedly. 'Has anything
happened tO-to-Annie?''
''she is only dying by inches-pining
away, in fact, and it is all your id fault,

you to come and make love 10 nv daughter.
Nobody wanted you. But having done so
and gained her affections say you are
mean, dishonorable scoundrel TO behave as
you do. Yes, repeat it-a scoundrel."
All the color faded out of Hugo Burnet's
face, and he stood trembling. ay, trembling.
before his would-be father-in-law, and only
muttered almost unintelligibly:
81 can not help it; it is ior her own good.
God knows, caM not help it."
"Merciful powers, is the man lunatic?
Can not help it. indeedI If you are speei-
men of the stuff young men of the present
day are made Of, then all I can say is give
me the old times when 1 was a youngster.
Can not help It'll Very soon shall not be
able to help breaking every bone in your
skin"
"If you only knew, Colonel, you would
not be so severe on me-"
'"Then why don't know? Who else has
right? D-n all mysteries. Let US have
this one cleared up, and speedily"

her head on Hugo's shoulder, she lay for
some seconds sobbing as though her heart
would break.
Could coldness and silence any longer hold
q place between these two?
"Do you love me so much, Annie, that to
part from me would grieve you desper-
ately?"
She raised her head and looked into his
eyes with wondering sadness in her gaze
that was most touching.
"To lose you, Hugo" she said In low
tones, would be for me to die"
"To die, my Annie? No, it Is in order
that you may live that would leave YOU"
"I do not understand"
Well might she be astonished. His words
were as the words of madman.
"As my wife, Annie, you are fated. As
sweet Annie Clareford you may live and be
happy for year"
"Never!" she answered. "What you saw
is riddle past my comprehension. All I
know is that without you there is no happi-
ness in life for me-"
Alas, alasl What could he do or say?

bringing him gray hairs and making the

As for the exterior Of the old abbey itself,
its structural design is faultless; the raw
