CHAPTER XI5CoNTINuEp.

OAlhA Il i1Ab AL--NON
Sir Carlos had stormy scene with
his wife about going home; the chains
he wore CALLED him so much that he
must be free from them for n time.
The member for Lynn Mavis the
county town OF his shire was dead.
and he had been asked to take his
place This was what Lady Carew
had always desired. She wrote to
him. telling him that he should re-
turn at once on account OF the cleo
ton. He knew that to take Maggie
home and introduce her to the county
grandees would ruin all his Parlia-
mentary prospects. He would lose
not only the votes but the interest Of
all his fathers old friends; they
would never forgive such a mesalli-
ance
How he hated his folly! What
could have possessed him to marry
girl like Maggie? His mother had
been right If he had taken six
months TO think of it she would
never have been bis wife.
IL have spoiled my life " he said.
''but l must not make Maggie miser-
able"
He felt that he must leave her for a
time. He could endure this life no
longer. She should have everything
she wanted; but he must have some
respite from what was a life OF tor
ture to him.
There was not one scene but
many between husband and wife; it
was the first time in his life that
the master of Firholme had seen
all that a coarse nature is capable
Of Maggie's reproaches her in
suits, her passionate tears and cries
maddened him. She was his wife.
she told him. and she would go with
him. He should not hide her because
he was ashamed OF her. She was as
good as his proud mother She would
teach him that she was uot to be
neglected.
At last he pacified her by telling
her that when the election was over
he would come back for her; and as
an afterthought he said that he should
prefer to bring his mother with him,
and that they could remain for some
weeks in the Villa Molteni together
He shuddered as he thought OF it.;
but it must be done. he must pay the
price of his folly. He promised to
write to her; yes, and he would send
her box OF beautiful dresses from
London.
Il shall say nothing to my mother
Of our marriage until she is on the
road to Italy he added.
Maggie answered sullenly that he
could do as he pleased. but that he
and Lady Carew woald find them
selves compelled to treat her with re-
spect
At last he was free; he was out OF
her presence. The scales had fallen
from his eyes: the last spark of love
was dead within him. At that mo-
ment he would have given his life TO
undo what he had done.
Lady Carew held up her hands in
wonder when she saw her son.
