her. Her mother, who was knitting stock
ings opposite to her, glanced up through
her spectacles and gave cry of surprise
which brought Cynthia to her feet. She
turned and saw two figures in the doorway,
but before she could realize who they
were, one stepped hastily forward and
folded her in his arms, while loud laugh
from the other revealed the identity of her
father.
"My Cynthial My dearest, sweetest Cyn-
thia," murmured the voice of Lucius
O'Neil in her ear, as his lips rested on her
own, 81 have only lived for this happy mo-
ment."
'1s it Lucius?" cried the old lady, lump
ing up and letting all her knitting tall upon
the ground.
"Aye! isn't 1t Lucius?" responded her
husband, chuckling. 81 thought we would
surprise you, mother. I met him walking
over from Melcombe Station. He says he
was in TOO great hurry to get time to
write
Yes! yes! We only landed yesterday,
and as soon as could get leave 1 started
tor Dovecot," said Captain O'Neil, shaking
hands with Mrs. Needham, and then he re-
turned to Cynthia and whispered, sMy
dearest lovel how perfectly happy I am
HOW.
Cynthia was bewildered. She looked
from her lover to her parents and burst into
tit of hysterical weeping. What did it all
mean? Why did he speak so kindly to her?
Was this the answer to the cruel letter she
had sent him? But Captain O'Neil contin-
ued to talk happily and his eyes continued
to beam whenever they turned in her
direction, until she almost forgot
the punishment in store for her, and ven
tured to look at her fance in return. He
was certainly goodly man to look upon.
He had left England year before, hand
some youth, but travel and time and ex-
perieDce had transformed him to stalwart
and noble-looking man. His face was
bronzed by the Eastern sun, and bearded
like pard, but his eyes were as kindly as
ever, and his smile as sunny and open as
that of child. Cynthia compared him
mentally with Granville Mostyn, and could
| not help acknowledging that he gained by

pered, ''do not be afraid-nothing can sepa-
rate US now. but your own will We are one,
remember"
"But if I have done something you can
never forgive, Lucius?"
sThat is impossiblel'' he answered,
gravely, "only tell me why must not read
this letter.
"I wrote 1t in moment of Madness" she
answered, with a hidden face, "you had
been away SO long, darling, had almost
forgotten you-and someone else came after
me and persuaded me that he could make
me happier than you would, if would only
break my engagement with you."
"And this letter was to break 1t OFF,"
''In the letter I told you everything as I
thought it was My own feelings and
wishes-the name of the man who had sup
planted you--my desire to be free. 1t is
a cruel, heartless letter. If you once read
1t you will never care for me again"
"You almost tempt me to read it, dea rest,
that 1 may prove to you that you are
wrong. Why should not I care for you
again? Do you feel like that now? Would
you write this letter to-day?"s
SO! Lucius! how can you ask me? You
know love you"
IT do know it-not from protestations,
written or otherwise, but from every look
of your eyes, my Cvnthia-every action of
your hfe-which are the only true tests of
love. Nothing you can have thought or
written year ago would have any influence
with me against the experience of the love
you have shown me since our happy mar
riage. only pity the man who had not the
power to hold you"
''Nol no! He is not worthy of your pity,
or my regard. I knew that long before you
returned home. And If you love me, Lucius,
and trust me as you say, read the letter, and
will be content to bear the consequences. "
She hid her face from him again as she
spoke and Lucius O'Neil put out his hand
and took the letter off the table.
CYNTHIA shuddered as she observed the
action.
Lucius had been very heroic whilst speak
ing of it, but what would he say when he
read the actual words which she had
written? Might not this be the beginning
of the end of all her married happiness?
She glanced mp fearfully. Her husband
held the sea-stHined envelope in his hand,
and was examining the superscription.
'sPoor little letter, he said, sweetly; show
many tears it cost my girl to write you, and
how much she must have suffered on your
account since. Why did you not lie forever,
full 80 fathoms deep? 1t is like digging a
child up from its grave again to bring you
to the surface to cause all this distress.
There, go and rest for ever. You shall
never give my darling wife moments pain

it. She had deeply lamented her
rashness in sending him her letter of dis
missal before, and now she felt as If she
would give her life to recall it. She be-
lieved that Lucius was restraining his in
dignation, in deierence to the presence of
her parents, and she was so nervous of what
be would say to her when alone, that as
soon as Mr.. and Mrs. Needham left them to-
gether, she dashed, through sheer fright,
into the subject herself.
"Lucius! you received my letter, of
course?"
''What letter, my darling?''
''The one dated the 11th of June"
"The 11th of June? Let me see; am not
sure. What was in it?''
'Oh, nothing particular-that is, it was a
| very long one, and
"What shame I should have missed it,
| and when all your letters were so precious
to me. The 11th of June, you say. By
| Jove! it must have come on the Orion.
She carried dispatches of the 11th.''
"And you had none from me?" inquired
Cynthia.
"None from anybody, dearest. The poor
Orion sunk on q hidden rock before she
reached Alexandria, and all the mails went
down with her."
''The letters were lostl'' cried Cynthia,
"Of course they were lost, love- They lie
at the bottom of the sea, full so tathoms
| Deep"
ooh, am SO glad, exclaimed the girl in
voluntarily.
"What makes you glad? I am sorry to
have missed one of your letters, even though
hold you in my arms But what was in Il?
Comel tell me-"
"No; don't ask. It was silly letter
was sorry that I had written it. Let us
talk of something else." replied CYNTHIA.
and Captain O'Neil was not unwilling to
obey her. The load that was lifed from her
mind by this information gave her such re-
lief that she made no further objection to
any of her parents proposals. Lucius
O'Neil had TO 60 backward and forward to
London several times on business. and to
receive his well-merited rewards btt he
made Dovecot his headquarters; and the
wedding was to take place before Christmas

1t was indeed a proud position for poor
Cynthia 10 wake to the consciousness that
she had sent letter to Lucius O'Neil, con-
had deserted her for the first pretty face
which he had come across. Her pride came
so far TO her relief that she forbore to weep
over the loss of so unworthy q lover as
Granville Mostyn, but from the hour she
heard of his infidelity her life was one of
torture. A thousand times she was on the
point of confessing to her fond old
parents what she had done, but
their delight in her supposed prospects pre-
vented her. 1t was misery to hear them
Silate on their happiness in her approach
ing marriage, and their affection for her
future husband, while she remembered the
self-condemnatory and heartless letter
which must be already in his hands. 1t
was torture to think of Lucius' return to
listen to the prophecy of 9 speedy termina-
tion to the war What sort of home
coming would her lovers be, but one of
shame and reproach and general lamenta-
tion. Yet she had not the courage to curb
her fathers or mothers delight BY tell
ing them the truth The most she
could do. was to prevent Mrs Needham
getting her trousseau ready in anticipation
of Captain O'Neirs return, by reminding
her that such q proceeding was said to be
unlucky. Meanwhile, she had received no
answer to her letter, at which she concluded
Lucius was too angry to reply, but she
started at every shadow, thinking it was
the fatal missive and that the time had
come for the discovery of her secret The
suspense and regret made Cynthia grow
thin and pale, and her parents were talking
of taking her to the seaside when an event
happened to prevent it. She was sitting
listlessly in the parlor with her hands
folded in her lap in the dusk of Septem-
Der evening, when the door opened behind

and confidence that existed between them.
And Lucius had been so good to her since
their marriage-so full of trust and love-so
unselfish and so indulgent
The unhappy girl felt as if she could not
exist if such happiness were Withdrawn
from her.
From the moment she heard the fatal
news she was always listening for the post
mans knock and running down to inter-
cept the servants movement to the door.
Her eyes assumed an anxious, fearful ex-
every sound. Lucius looked at her once
or twice, inquisitively. He could
not think what had come to his gay
and girlish wife. And Cynthia meanwhile
was pondering what she should say and
what excuse she could make for herself
when he had learned the terrible truth.
Would he refuse to let her live with him?
Would he send her back to Dovecot,
branded as an impostor, who had married
him, pretending to love him, while all the
while, that wicked, heartless letter was
lying at the bottom Of the sea. These
thoughts made her so feverish and
absent, and unlike herself, that Lucius
began to fear that she was going to be ill
consequence that her self-accusing con-
science stung her hundred times more
than before. At last one day, rs she was
wondering when her wretched suspense
would be over, her husband entered the
room, laughing and holding stained en-
velope high above his head
'I've got it" he cried, gaily, ''the Orion
letters were all sent to the mess-house and
brought mine home, that might have the
pleasure of reading it aloud to you. Now,
Mrs O'Neil Attention. The whole of
your foolishness will be dished up for your
own edi6cation and trust will be warn
ing TO you, never to write letters that you
will be ashamed to see again."
He was proceeding in the same jesting
strain, when Cynthia's appearance brought
him to sudden stop. Sne had risen from
her chair aud was standing before him with
white face and strained eyes, full of ab-
ject fear and mysery.
''My darlingl what is the matter?" he
tenderly exclaimed.
"Don't read that letter. she gasped,
'tDon't open it for heavens sake, till you
have heard me speak"
IT will not open it at all, " he said, as he
laid'it on the table, ''if it is to give you
pain"
s'No! Lucius! that must not be, for If so,
you will lose all confidence in me for the
future. But let me break it to you-and
then, when you have heard my story, you
must do as you think fit.
She sank on her knees before him as she
spoke. but her husband raised her and made
her sit on his knee.
Tell me al, my sweetheart" he whis-
