The squire, an energetic and impatient

When he had his charges safe II the

long breath; he was another step
nearer the end, al al events. The strain
ON him was beginning TO tell.
Phyllis was in the gayest spirits, and
laughed and chatted merrily. Her face
was closely covered, the heavy veil
doubled across her eyes, for which
Royal knew there must be reason but
forebore TO inquire into it just vet. He
had gathered that the young lady's case

the hands Of white haired gentleman
the lace euTeloped figure of his unknown
bride. Her hand lay on his arm, the
folds of her shining robe brushed against
him, the lace which covered her droop-
ing head almost touched his shoulder,
but he did not look az her nor manifest
by so much as the culver of a muscle
consciousness of her proximity His in
divlduahty seemed lost, merged in that
OF the man whose part he had assumed.
HIS imagination was strained, his pulses
beat with excitement, but his brain was
clear. his perceptions preternaturally
acute. He could hear the snap of a
watchcase somewhere among the au-
dlence, and the stamping of the horses
outside distinctly through the rhythm of
the music. The interest Of the specta-
tors thrilled him, but failed to renew
recognition Of being other than he
seemed.
Then, amid the hush which followed
the cessation OF the music, came the
minister's solemn statement of the pur-
pose for which the people were there as

them that IF any man knew aught which
should prevent this union he should set

so seldom broken. Then, in tones that
sounded IN his ears rs the voice of an
other MN, Royal found himself repeat
ing words which, with the strange sense
OF duality which oppressed him, seemed
to bind him, as well as that other, to
tine woman beside him as with bands
OF steel; and when, her answering VOW
breathed forth, he received the ring, it
was as though another hand was with
his hand, guiding 1t as he placed the
circlet on her finger. And terrible
sense of irrevocabiity and powerlessness
for a moment overwhelmed him, turn
ing him faint and sick, as one on whom
a heavy blow has fallen.
Then he realized that everything was
over, and that the people had glanced at
their watches for the last time and were
pressing forward with congratulations.
He moved aside and 1nvoluntarily took
out his own watch and noted the time.

CHAPTER Y.

The arrangements had been made with
care and fOrethought-the sick man,
from his bed In the New York hospital,
having been explicit and masterful, . as
the bride had laughingly declared. And
the good, kind people with whom Phyl-
lis had made her home had aided him TO
the best of their ability, meeting his
wishes half way, and gudging no trouble
TO winch they might be put IN further
ing them. Royal found, to his unspeak-
able comfort, that they were to be &C
companied as far as Alexandria by q
relative of the young lady who had
been down IN the mountains of Virginia
ON visit and had remained over for the
wedding. She was introduced to Roya
as his cousin Mrs Hart" and his hk-
ing went out TO her al once. There was
largeneSs IN her atmosphere, a sympathy
N her fine, intelligent face and frank,
cordial manner, TO which his nature in
stantly responded, and he felt that her
going with them would be Ike a crack
OF daylight along dark horizon. Per-
haps the tide would turn 81 last and run
for while ID poor John Royals favor.
For himself the arrangement would, at
all events, bring divided responsibility.
That Lrs. Hart was a widow he sur
missed from her mourning gown and a
certain unattached air about her. His
prepossession seemed fully justified by
the treatment accorded her on every
hand: for young and old clustered around
her s~d perNstenfly ignored the dignity
of her conjugal appellation. She scanned

Curiously unnerved for man of robust
physique and ordinarily normal i1nag-
ination, Royal let these strangers have
their way with him thankful for the res
pite which their quiet acceptance Of him
gave. He avoided looking at the bride,
dreading TO meet her glance lest it should
unfit him for his part, for with the sight
of the crowd his desire TO explain matters
withdrew into the background This
was not the time, nor was Ii the place
The affair had developed complications
for which ne was totally unprepared,
and ne wanted time TO think, TO assimi-
late and readjUst. The sequence of events
had been so different from his own pre-
conceived arrangement of them that his
mind for the moment was thrown out
Of gear, and stood supine, accepting that
which came as though it Were a fnaIity.
The thing most evident 10 him was
that he had ensnared himself with q net
