Intangible, egotistic shrinking from af-
dlctlOn inherent IN SO many men, and
the hopefulness of her case caused 1t to
present no bar to her attractiyeness.
Then, too, it is probable that the con-
sciousness that she was his wife-no
matter how she had become so-stirred
and influenced his emotions more deeply
than he was himself aware.
He was very considerate and gentle
with her, having always in mind that
time of disclosure which must surely
come. He had taken no advantage of
the situation, and he intended to take
none. Probably his unconscious manli-
ness explained the readiness with which
Mrs. Hart had constituted herself his
ally. Her own instincts IN regard to
her sex were tender and protective.
"What are you going TO dor
She had risen, for from the room across
the hall there came to her ear the sound
of soft music. The blind girl had found
her way to the piano, and was cheering
her darkness IN the manner she loved
best. They had left her long enough
alone.
Royal squared himself.
at would make pretty case" he
observed impersonally. "The lawyers
told me SO. That ten minutes to r.
time of the death and the ceremony
would admit of considerable argument.
The 'shake-bag' fellows would flock to it
like hogs to the call of corn. But I'm
going to give them the go-by. divorce
courts and all. shall stand to my mar
riage."
''And the money!"
Royals thought consigned the money
to the halls of Eblis with emphasis and
dispatch; his speech was more circum-
spect:
1.-The money has done harm enough.
1t has been the active agent in the int
broglio. Well let that part of the bust
ness mellow for while. John Royals
legacy is of vastly more importance than
his aunt's."
The expression of Mrs. Hart's face as
she quilted the room was like spring
weather, conflict between sunshine and
shower. She managed, however, to cast
jest back at him over her shoulder:
s'In the division there'l1 perhaps be
enough to buy a ring for Phyllis-by
putting two parts together. My OWL
share shall be devoted to defraying the
expenses for making my will according
to the Royal prerogatiye."
The Mankato free press., 1891-05-08

Save IN the matter of caresses (which
he felt would be an unfair advantage to
take Of herr, Royal was not ren1iss u.
loverlike attentions. He intended to
win the girls love if possible before he
should claim her as his wife, for he had
wholesome notions relative to marriage.
While not consciously in lcve as yet he
was strongly attracted, and he healthily
and manfuIly set himself to make of the
attraction a line which the stronger emo
ton would find it easy to follow. It was
in his favor that he had had no previous
aEaire de cBw-that his profession had
insensibay led him to generalize women.
It was m his favor also that when he
embarked upon an enterprise his nature
drove him On the course without much
regard for winde tide. IF man should
marry woman it was his business tolove
her as his own soul, and to strain every
nerve to make her happy. Such was his
simple,creed, as 1t is, unconfessedfy, the
creed of more men than gain credit for
1t with either the world or women.
So Phyllis discovered In him no lack,
being preoccupied by her great hope
and not rendered exactmg by any self
ishness of passion. Once th0ught, or
rather speculation, as to the events OF
those SIX years of absence caused her to
put a question to him. They were sit
ting IN darkened room, the girl at this
piano and Royal in low chair not far
rezneved from her. She had been play
ing for him, soft music with minor ca
dences. Something IN it suggested the
thought to which she gave utteraacs

A decision once reached, Royals mind
clarified, like pool in the quiescence
which follows violent stirring up. His
difficulties were by no means dissolved
OF dissipated, any more than is the mud
at the bottom of the pool, but for the
moment they sank out of sight.
The day following was the one ap-
pointed for the operation, and when that
should be over he would go away for a
time, so as to leave Phyllis IN the state
of absolute calm which would be es-
sential to complete the cure. He had
already exceeded the limit he had al
lowed himself for holiday making, and
his affairs in the west required his
presence. His practice had been in
trusted to brother physician on whose
time and courtesy he felt he could no
longer trespass, and, as he had assumed
new responsibilities, and was, moreover,
a man by no means independent of his
own exertions. it behooved him to re-
turn home and look after his interests.
Phyllis must remain in Alexandria to
be near the oculist for many months to
come, and during that time Royal hoped
to arrange matters in such fashion as
to Withdraw his future, in a measure,
from the shadow of the dead mans past.
The feeling of possession, Of being him.
self, and yet other than himself, which
had been so strong upon him during the
ceremony, had modified, but enough of
it remained to make him restive. To
himself he neither denied the impression
nor attempted to explain it, and he spoke
of the matter to no one. That the soul
Of dying man, freed from the material
in the intensity of dominant and un-
fulfilled desire, should, operating through
spiritual or imaginative laws, influence
the same desire and In an abnorma1ly
quickened condition by reason of nerv-
GUS excitement, was to him a thinkable
proposition, and one which it would re-
quire no moro credulity to admit than
would be demanded by nine -tenths of
the theses constantly presented for the
consideration of mankind
The intellectual man was in Royal
sufficiently developed to enable him to
recognize that all thought pertaining TO
that infinite which permeztes and tram
scends material things must. forever root
itself IN instinct and intuition, and also
that his individual howtedgeo Of thelaws
of spirit or imagination, CLEANED from
observation of their manifestationin the
Life of matter, was, relative to his ig-
norance, as a single plume from an
eagles wing to the Sum of the birds
aerial jouneyings.
Still, withal, Royal was a very human
natured man, and since realization that
Phyllis was his own wife had come to
him matrimonial association of her, even
IN idea, with another man had become
offensive. It was not that he was Jealous
OF the dead mars memory; Royal was
not sufficiently in love for that, and
would besides have been incapable of the
meanness. Phyllis, as his wife, would
be quite as free to expend regret upon
her cousin as though she were st5u nm

Bith the directness of a child:

Not me, In that old time when we were
both so young and didn't understand
things. I mean real love-the kind of
feeling that makes thought of one par
ticular woman like the pulse of a mans
heart to him. You needn't be afraid to
tell me if you should have. I shall not
be jealous" Then, slowly, and more
truthfully, SAT least I don't think /

The end of her sentence suggested
possibility which brought a smile to
Royals lips and set his nerves to thrill
ing. Had she been other than she was
he might have been tempted to the ex-
pertinent of quickening love by goading
it with the baser passion. But in her
helpless darkness he felt that man
would be a brute who should even
wound her vanity.
mo" he answered simply 81 have
never loved a woman-that is, any other
woman but you."
She turned toward him with the
swiftness and certainty of a woman
gifted with sight, and laid her hand
upon his arm. Then, before he could
divine her intention, she had slipped
from her place at the instrument and
was n her knees beside his chair. He
trembled little. but kept still. She
laid her other hand against his cheek
and turned his face toward her.
''There is something want you to do
for me, John, +" she said, in low voice;
''just little thing, but it will make a
difference to us later ON. If you had
ever loved another woman, should not
ask it-should not want it; but now'-
'.Yes?" he murmured, for she had
paused.
Her head dropped toward him until
her forehead touched his shoulder. Let
eyes shall see when the light of day is
given back to them, she whispered.
Royals pulses throbbed madly, and
his effort to restrain his longing to clasp
her to his breast and seek her lips with
his own amounted well nigh to physical
pain. The anomaly of the situation
Knocked him. He dared not take advan-
tage, knowing as he did that the hus-
band whose image was in her heart was
not the husband against whose breast
she leaned. He could not answer her
because of the struggle in his soul, nor
could be let her go unanswered. He
lifted her face between his hands and
touched with his lips once-twice-the
silken bandage which covered those
sealed eyes.
