SYNOPSIS.

William West has been settled as clergy
man in Mercer for fifteen years, and has
taken his place in the community as
man of judgment and character. He had
been taken from an institution as lad,
and put through college by a Professor
Wilson, who had recognized his quail
ties, and who bequeathed him consider
able sum of money. Amy Townsend has
come to Mercer to visit her friends, the
Pauls, John Paul being senior warden
of Vests church, and her cousin. Amy
and West are brought together by Mrs,
Paul, and become engaged, being greatly
In love and esteeming each others quail
ties highly. West comes to see Amy and
the Pauls, and the conversation drifts
into the subject of confession of previous
faults under various circumstances. After
much discussion, Amy declares that she
believes that engaged couples should do
this. West leaves in a very thoughtful
mood. He remembers a serious fault COM
mitted twentythree years before, as a
lad.

Reilly?" the minister said, and added
a friendly inquiry about the mans
hand, which seemed to be hurt. Amy's
stern sense of the retributive justice
of the accident came into his mind,
and he smiled involuntarily. The po-
lceman looked sheepish, as the clergy
man meant he should, and turned the
conversation by remarking that he
would "re lokn' after the rectory
special when Mr.. West was away on
his weddin' tower"

From the New York Sun.
A former governor of Oklahoma was
in town few days ago, and some New

incident started the conversation on
dudes, and how, sometimes, they had
been agreeable disappointments.

PART III.

Yet, in spite of himself, his mind
crept back to the brink of that black
abyss of memory: those We're dreadful
days, those days of repentance twenty
years ago. The remembrance OF ms
sin would surge over him at the most
unexpected moments-in the midst of
work or study; when he was talking;
when he was praying; When perhaps,
he was helping some other human crea-
ture stagger along under burden OF
remorse. The deeper he went into the
new life he had begun to lead-the
clearer the heavenly vision grew before
his eyes-the blacller the sin seemed.
For years, the memory of it used to
come over him with a sudden sinking
and sckening of the soul. He remem-
bered how inescapable the torment of
his regret had been. There would be
periods of fOrgetfulness, when he was
plunged into work, and life, because
it was service, seemed good and sweet;
then, at some word, or the look of the
sky, or the smell of a flower-the evil
spirit of recollection would leap upon
him and tear him. Yet the periods of
forgetfulness had heightened and
heightened. The pain and shame had
faded and faded. The thing that gave
him this sick feeling, as he sat here
in his study at midnight was not the
fact that he had sinned; it was the
memory of how he had suffered for his
sin. The sin itself, now, was too re-
mote too separate from himself to be
real to him; but the suffering!-he
could not bear to think of it.
How mad this isl" he said to him.
self, with a curious terror lest the suf-
fering should come back; the horror
man might have felt who saw the rack
upon which, long before. he had been
stretched. He drove his thoughts back
to the question of his duty to Amy;
that was plain reasoning, and had moth
ing to with his nightmare.
He lighted another match, but held
it absently. until it scorched his fin
gers, then flung it down with an angry
exclamation. 1t seemed as though
the pain burned through all this fog of
the past, and showed him the facts
which he must judge, and his own folly
of uncertainty. For, after all, what
was this matter he was trying to de-
eide? Was it merely the question of
what was best for Amy? Not what
was most comfortable for himself; it
was that abstraction called honor, as
applied to Amy's happiness.
What was for happiness, or, as he
had put it first, what was his duty to
her? To let her know his past, or to
keep q secret from her and allow her
to suppose that she knew his life, as
she did her own?
Admit that it was his impulse to tell
her; what did that impulse really
mean? Primarily, that it would be a
great relief to him; the idea of hav-
ing any reserves was most repuSnant
to him. For the moment the instinct
was again strong to tell her. But
frowning, he went on with his argu-
ment: A relief to him: but what to
her? A pain and a shame; a memory
that might outlast another twenty
three years, perhaps. But she might
want to know it? Well that was no rea-
son. If she wanted poison, should he
give it to her? And this was poison.
Did he not know that? Good God!
But had she a right to know it? Here
he was perfectly clear; certainly not

THAT is as 1t should be sirl" she told
him IL shall dress like this every day.
If 1t keeps you obedient. If / had had on
my wedding dress last night. you would
not have dared not to stay to dinner
when wanted you"
Her look, through the mist of tulle,
of soft reproach and challenge, was too
much for fear. and he boldly kissed
her. which made her protest, and fly
from further risk of crushing the BRAY
cry of her wedding day. When she
came back again, in a blue cotton gown,
trg and pretty, with a bunch of pans
les in her belt, there was, fortunately,
nothing to be hurt by being crushed.
There was a moment of tender and
passionate silence. His errand faded
from William Vests mind; the real
ity of life was here! his past was no
more to him than the esgshell Is to
the eagle. So when, later, leaning for
ward in his chair, holding her aud in
his, looking into her pure eyes, he be-
gan to speak, it was almost casually.
AS he faced the great fact of human
love the question of telling her or not

1t was characteristic of the man that
there was nc preamble; his words were
simple, and he was perfectly matter
of-fact that unanXious; so much so
that Amy laughed a little.
"Were you a year-old criminal? Well,
tell me at once! l may reconsider, you
know"
There was something in the assur-
ance of her gayety that Jared a little,

1t in no wise bore upon his relation
to her. Furthermore, the question of
prudence was not involved: there was
no chance that some day, somehow, it
might come to her ears. She could
never hear it, except from him. If this
We're not the case, of course, he would
tell her.
But was he deceiving her? Was he,
as he put 1t, taking her love on false
pretences?" William West got up and
walked the length of his library: then
he stopped by the open window, and
looked out on the silent street: po-

saw him, and touched his helmet with
two fingers,
