CHAPTER VII.

The other day met man at the
 club, an old acquaintance, and we began
 to talk of other men, which is the only
 topic of conversation open to those who
 are old acquaintances, but not old
 friends
 Said he, presently: Did you know
 Canon Longden?' No; he was bit before my time"
 Mot a bad sort, but too good, you
 know. Carried goodness to unforgive-
 ness. A prig of virtue. That's what always thought of him. Irritated one, you know, by an unreasonable hatred of the wi1ked world-used to despise sinners. Now, like man who has a little feeling for the slips and the stum- bles - eh? Well - Canon Longden's dead.''
 ''Is hc?" I replied. not much inter ested.
 'Yes. He had a very tidy property near us. He had no children, and was a widoxer, and was not on speaking terms with his only brother, and so we rather expected he would have left it for objects, you lnow-convertingn nig gers and building churches" "Well, didn't he?"
 Mot a bit of it. He forgot to make a will, and so the property goes, hear, to this younger brother, who was packed off to some miserable colonial appoint
 ment years ago, after getting into a devil of mess. His family cut him.
 and now he is coming home to take all the family money. So the prig of vir- tue has ended in enriching the sinner. I remember Jack Longden well-and Q better youngster never lived. How he came to do it-but there" A man who had been sitting near us ! by the fireside rose and walked quickly down the room.
 ''Know him? That is Sir Henry Dun lxeld, G. c. B. and G. c. M. G., and gov
 ernor of half her majesty's colonies, one after the other. Another prig of vir- tue, he is. Going to be made a peer,
 believe. say, when this colonial chap
 this Jack Longden, comes to live on his property, suppose the people won't be raking up past scandals, will they? It's \ wonderful though, how things stick. | shouldn't wonder if they refuse to call ! upon him."

carry his message of remorse. He did not die, but the message remains. Take it. His prayer for forgiveness"
 Yes, but he got better," said Long den, dryly. ''So he told you, did he? It was not well done. It was breach of confidence. Why, it was in the thought that you would never know-'
 And I do know. Jack, nothing that he can do or say could destroy the wrong of all these years"
 Nothing. And yet, you. see I took the consequences, whatever they might be. They did turn out rather more un- pleasant than thought, but have not complained"
 If you were to stand up tomorrow and read aloud the confession which he gave you, that would not give you back those lost and ruined years.
 "No," said Jack. ''Tt might astonish people more than bit. But it wouldn't help me-"
 Have you ever thought that-about this sublime self-sacrifice of your com mon youth-that it would be wholly destroyed and rendered worse than use less were 1t to become known?"
 "I do not understand. I have al- ways, on the other hand, looked for ward to a time when, somehow or other, my character should be set right again--if only to disappoint my brother, who is a prig."
 He who was then a young man like yourself, with his future all before him, is now a man who has succeeded. He has won distinction and reputation. He has a wife and childrcn-children, Jack. If you ruin him-as you may-as you can-you ruin the children and you de stroy the wife" .....
 "I see," he replied. This is what you wanted to say to me? To be sure hadn't considered that"
 "When we landed he saw you on the port and recognized you. He said noth. ing to meat the time, but perceived that he was anxious and unhappy. Ii is three months, and during the whole time he has been in an agony of terror and remorse. A few days ago he heard the old story told again-the story that he thought forgotten was repeated to him, attached to your name. 1t is com. mon property-the talk of his secreta. ries. He is well-nigh mad with the rec. ollection and the hideousness of it.

Come to the private gardens of Govern ment house on Sunday morning at half past eleven, when the governor and everybody are at church. will meet you beside the basin. For the sake of old times when we were all innocent and hopeful together, do not fail. Your old friend, Eva"
 '1 wonder what she means?" Jack finished the letter, which did notrequire n second reading, and replaced it in his pocket. What can she mean? She did not recognize me, though he did Peo- pie don't talk about me at the Govern ment house. Who told her? If David the king told her, David the king must have felt pricIings will go."
 Soon after eleven, when tho governor, his daughter, his daughters governess and his aide-de-camp were in their long pew at the cathedral and the bishop was in his seat, and the civil chaplain was reading the service, Jack Longden found himself in the private grounds of Government house. No one at all, not even m Indian gardener, was in the gardens.
 He found a bench in the shade and sat down.
 He had not long to wait. He heard footstep, and rose to meet lady who walked quickly along one of the paths. She was alone.
 "ThanlS you, Jack" she said, giving him her hand.
 "I am here, Lady DunlSeld," he be- gan, but he broke down. "Eva," he cried, you have not forgotten me-the man who disgraced himselfr'
 "No, no; you are here. I learned it only the other day, and you are quite low down in the service. He told me. It is horrible! it is dreadfulr'
 "Nay-some must rise and some must fall. And after that ugly business"
 Jack, know all"
 "What do you know? There was an awful row about it, and my father wouldn't have me in the house, and my brother-you remember my brother he was always an awful prig-he sur passed himself and made reconciliation impossible, and everything else, so they found me n place out here, and sup pose my brother kindly told them at the colonial office, and so the story came out here, aud-thats all. Of course promotion is impossible for a man with such story as that behind him. We'll, Eva-Lady Dunlleld-that is all. What does it matter now?" For his old friend was looking strangely at him and the tears were in her eyes.
 oh" she repeated, 'it is horriblel It is dreadful!''
 "No, not so dreadful as you think. There is enough to live upon, and what more can a man desire, man with such story as that behind him?" slN kl,o l~.l him and bowed her head and wept aloud.
 Nay" he said, ''it is too much that I should"
 "Jack," she sprang to her feet again. "You tear my very heart, You tear me to pieces-for know all-all-all-I tell you that know all"
 "You cannot know all. It is impossi- ble."

CHAPTER VI.

The monotony of his life, broken in this manner, began again. The condi- tions were kept. The governor took no notice of him at all. The time passed by. Sir Henry Dun!leld drcvs near to the end of his time; Jack was now forty, still an assistant clerk; still, to outward seeming, as contentcd as the most sue cessful of men; still living in his shanty near the seashorc Long since the youngster who messed with him when Sir Henry Dunkeld arrived had passed him on the ladder of promotion, and was in mess where they belonged to society, and gave dinners and went to balls.
 One day, a little while before this governor left the colony, Jacks own chief sent for him.
 ''I ought to tell you, Longden," he said, that an attempt has been made with his excellency to recommend you for the vacant post-it was that of as- sistant auditor general. It was pointed

So he did nothing. The new governor paid visits to various places in his king dom, and gained great popularity by his aifability, and by the many charms and graces of his wife. But he made no sign at all to his old friend.
 Time went on. Three months passed, and no advance was made.

 "'J. l.. Longden,' said the secretary, Inc is n very good clerk"
 "'IIc has been here long time.'
 "I think he has no friends at home There is something against him. Not anything out here-at home, and long while ago. Then he told story about you, Longden."
 You needn't repeat the story" saic Longdcn. "I believe have heard the story before. My brother, the prig, told it at tho colonial office to somebody who told it to somebody else, who brought it to the colonial secre- tary here. The story is the property of the office. They don't tell it about, but if there is any question of promotion they bring it out and look at it. Go on. By tho way, the story is only half true, and the half that is true isn't exactly l tho half tlIat they believe"
