II had taken long In the telling, and
he twilight Of the summer night had
rome before he finished and she had
learnt everything.
''That u what I came to tell you, Ida.
Speak to me, and say that you forgive
me for having kept it from your knowl-
edge when last we metz
''You said an hour ago." she replied,
taking no heed Of his prayer for forgive
ness, that dreams were idle fantasies OF
the brain. What IL mine was such?
What IL, after al, I nave seen the form Of
the man, who murdered him, have spoken
to him and let him kiss me, and have not
recognized himy'
"Idar' he said, do you say this to me,
70 the man to whom you have plighted
your love and faith? Do you mean that
you suspect me Of being my brothers
murderery"
'You did nothing" she answered, ito
ind out his murderer; you would have
done nothing had that will not been dis
covered"
II obeyed his behest," he said, 'and
what I did was done also through my
love for you"
Again she paused before she spoke, and
then she said:
ut 10 time that you should so now, it
- time that there should be no more love
spoken between III. But, II a time should
ever come when it win be fitting for me
to hear you speak Of love to me once
more-"
'rYes"
ut will be when you can come to me
and say that his murderer 10 brought to
Justice"
"And until that time shall come, you
cast me of?"
"If you take it in that light-yes."
II have sworn" he said, and she could
not but notice the deep intensity Of his
voice, upon his grave that my life shall
be devoted to avenging him, and no pow
er on earth shall stop me II I can but see
my way to find the man who killed him.
Even though / had still another brother,
whom I had loved all my life, and he had
done this deed, I would track him and
bring him to punishment. I swear It be-
fore God-swear that I would not spare
him! AND my earnest and heartfelt
prayer 10 that the day may arrive when,
% you and I desire, / may be able to come
and tell You that he il brought to Justice"
"Ah! yes"
"Only," he continued, still with a deep
solemnity Of voice that went to her heart,
"when l do 80 come l shall come to tell
you that alone-there will be with that
news no ~pleadings Of love upon my
tongue. You have doubted, but just now,
whether you have not seen my brothers
murderer standing before you whether
the kiss Of Cain has not been upon your
lips. You have reproached me for my
silence, you have cast me of, unless I can
prove myself not Al assassin. Well, 30
BE- til BY the blessing Of heaven, l will
prove it-but for the love which you have
withdrawn from me I will ask no more.
You say It il to be mine again condition
ally. I viii not take it back, either with
or without conditions. 1t Is restored to
you; Il would be best that henceforth you
should keep It." :
Then, with but the slightest inclination
Of his head he left her, and went out
from the house.
And Ida, after once e~ndeavoring to
make her lips utter the name Of Gervase,
fell PROSTATE on the couch.
HE win never come back to me-" she
walled; ''he will never come back. I have
thrown his love away forever. Heaven
forgive and pity me-"
