CHAPTER Iv.-tCoxr1NuED.,

We went down to a quiet watering
place on the south coast. Here we
stayed for fortnight. Oh, those sweet
summer days! Shall ever forget themG
For the time there seemed no cloud
which could possibly shade our JOY
All the cynical, suspicious, misaH-
thropical elements seemed swept out
of my nature. told myself that the
constant society of the wife ] loved
was making better as well as hap
pier man Of me.
At the end of our stay by the sea it
was our intention to return to London
for couple Of days, and then start for
Switzerland. Here, or in what coun-
try we chose, we were to spend months
In fact, had as yet no home to offer
my wife. The tenant of HerstaI Alb
hey would not turn out without six
months notice so, for the time, we
must be wanderers.
Eustace Grant, had by now almost
forgotten Eim-wrote once to my wife,
She seemed overjoyed as she saw his
handwriting, but vexed at the cere-
monious way in which his letter began.
1t lies before me now. l copy It:
my Dear Mrs. Loraine:-You will
remember that next Tuesday is your
twenty-frst birthday.
"As l am going abroad very shortly,
I am anxious to submit the accounts
of the trust to you, and, of course, Mr..
Lorraine. l hear that you will be in town
on Tuesday. Can call upon you any
where, or would it be more convenient
for us to meet at my solicitors-Mr.
Monk, sc Lincolns Inn Fields? Please
let me know. Yours sincerely,
"Eustace Grant"
"He might have sent a word of con-
gratulations," said Viola, in a vexed
tone. How shall 1 answer TIM.
Julian?"
Say we will meet him at Mr.. Monk
at twelve o'clock on Tuesday"
To which effect Viola wrote. did
not read the letter, but wondered at
the length of it.

Still, as that absence might even now
be satisfactorily explained, resolved
that would not, by evincing premature
distrust or suspicion, let this man tri-
umph over me. SO l spoke with forced
composure
"Mr. Grant, have missed my wife,
somewhere. Can you give me tidlngs

II can not" he replied coldly.

"You have had my answer"

"She is herein this house with

building. Make it public property that
Won are jealous husband looking for a
faithless wife. No; that shall not be
done for her sake. Wherever she Is,
she is not here"
He spoke as If expecting me to be-
lieve him. Strange to say, did be-
lieve him. The thought that this house
would be the last place in which he
would hide Viola from my search, no
doubt conduced to this belief. But now
could no longer doubt the horrible
ruth. This man, hv some devilish
craft, had torn my wife from me-had
taken away the woman who, few
hours ago, pressed Judas kiss on my
lips, even as she was going to meet he
lover.
! Stay! perhaps he had killed her. Such
things have been done before now by
men who fail to win the woman they
love- Perhaps he had decoyed hel
'way,and was OBTAINING her against her
will. Even now she might be longing
for me to come and free her.
All these thoughts whirled through
my brain, and for moment unnamed
me. sunk upon a chair, cold and
trembling in every limb, Grant stood
like statue until recovered myself.

He leaned forward. He looked at me
sternly:
"Listen| he said, in fierce voice
"In this room I said to you, Take her

laughed wildly. "If being willing t
shed ones blood for her can make &
false woman happy, she should have
been happy. Does she expect to fine

His eyes blazed. "You had better co.

l laughed mockingly. Now that hat

was vengeance, could speak calmly

claim the right of bidding his bride

For reply Grant rang the bell. Leave

He came toward me. started to my
feet, and struck fair and full at hill
white, set face. He parted the fierce
blow and in a moment his arms were
around me.

to attend. I had to see my own solicit
tor and give him instructions about the
settlement which l wished to make on
Viola. / had also to make my will, a
matter which until now had neglect
ed; so that Tuesday and Wednesday
promised to be fully occupied. Viola
also wished to pay a visit to her old
friend, Miss Rossiter. The prim
spinster would never forgive her if she
passed through town without calling.
She did not press me to accompany
her. Perhaps, in the present changed
and unexpected state of affairs she had
much to say to her old friend which
could not be we'll said in my presence,
So l suggested she should go alone
to her old home, spend an hour
with her friend, and meet me. at Mr.,
Monks at twelve O'clock. In the mean
time l would go to my own solicitors
and arrange my business, the purport
of which did not make known to my
wife. I hired private brougham for
her, placed her in it, and stood at the
window saying adieu. 1t was the first
time since our marriage that we had
been parted for an hour. 1t was, more
over, her twenty-first birthday, and on
her hand was a ring which had just
given her-a ring the value of which
had startled her, for she had not yet
realized what it was to be rich mans
wife.
AS I wished her goodbye, l remem-
bered that my own business would take
some time. IF l am not very pune
tual you won't mind waiting?" I said.
mo, l shall like it. Eustace will be
there, and l have so much to say to
him-so much to ask him. Don't hur-
ry, Julian"
fancled that Viola wanted to see
Eustace Grant alone, if possible, in or
der to persuade him, as she had tried
to persuade me, that we had only to
know more of each other to be like
brothers. She could not understand the
gulf between two men who love the
same woman. 1 thought 1t was well
she should see him. He would make
clear to her the impossibility of any
thing like friendship between us. Just
as l was about to bid the coachman
drive off, Viola looked at me with a
little pout. 1 knew it's meaning. l
passed my head through the carriage
window. My shoulders insured strict
privacy. Then light kiss fell upon
my lips, and word of love passed be-
tween us. l linger on these trivial
evidences of affection. 1t will soon be
seen why.
1 watched the carriage which Eeld
all I loved join in the broad stream
of traffic. Then I lighted my cigar, and,
the happiest man in England, walked
over to my solicitors.

Because a man makes a law he may
not always break it with impunity.
Hiram Clayton. who keeps the Branch

character. made q rule some time ago for
the government Of his barrooln, says
the Philadelphia Record. He decided
h a when a man went to sleep in his
barroom that was sufficient evidence
that the man had had enough to drink.
Upon awaking, therefore, the sleepy
one was promptly refused any more
liquor. The rule was rigidly inforced
both by Clayton himself and by his
brother-in-law, who acts as bartender.
One day recently, however, the rule
proved to be a boomerang. Clayton was
sitting in his barroom. 1t was n very
warm afternoon and the host gradually
dozed off into a sound sleep. Some
time later q customer came in. He wore
heavy boots and the noise of his
entrance awakened Clayton. The latter
sat up and rubbed his eyes. "Come an
have somethin', ILL.," said the customer.
Clayton stood up against the bar and
sleepily called for q beer. "sorry," SAID
the bartender, "but you can't have any
drink" What" yelled Clayton. who
was now thoroughly awake. "It's
against the rules; you've been asleep"
said the bartender, seriously. He stuck
to 1t, and his boss realizing the ~juxtice
Of it was obliged to give In. The rule
has since been abolished.
