heavily under the icy load, and a blue
mask of ice covered the flowing An
nan from bank to bank; but to Mar
jorie all was gladstone and familiar as
she moved about from scene to scene.
She wore black, like widow, and so
did little Leon; and, indeed, it was a
common report everywhere that her
husband was dead, and that she was
left alone.
AS to Miss Hetherington's secret. all
the world knew it now, for the swift
tongue of scandal had been busy be-
fore Marjorie's return. Needless Of the
shame, needless Of all things in the
world, save her joy in the possession
of her daughter, the grand old lady re-
mained in deep seclusion in her lonely
ancestral home.
In these sad, yet happy days, who
could be gentler than Miss Hetherins-
ton? The mask of her pride fell off
forever, and showed a mothers loving
face, sweetened with humility and
heavenly pity. She was worn anG fee
Bile, and looked very old; but whenever
Marjorie was near she was happiness
itself.
The fullest measure of her love, how
ever, was reserved for Marjorie's child.
Little Leon had no fear of her, and
soon, in his pretty broken English,
learned to call her 'grandmamma."
1--WE began WI bar sinister" said
the lady one day, as they sat together;
"but there's no blame and no shame,
Marjorie, on you and yours. Your son
is the heir of Annandale"
"Oh, mother" cried Marjorie, sadly,
chow can that be? l am a mother, but
no wife"
You're wife to yon Frenchman," an
swered Miss Hether;ngton; "ay, his
lawful welded wife by the English and
the Scottish law. Out there in France
he might reject you by the law of man;
but here in Scotland, you're his true
wife still, though l wish, with all my
heart, you were his widow instead"
''Is that so, mother?"
"True as gospel, Marjorie. It's wi me
the shame lies, like the bright speck of
blood on the hands of the thames wife,
which even the perfumes of Araby
couldna cleanse awa'r'
Don't talk of that, mother," cried
Marjorie, embracing the old lady. Il
am sure you are not to blame"
"And you can forgive me, my bonny
bairn?"
81 have nothing to forgive; You were
deceived as-as I have been. Oh,
mother. men are wicked.-I think they
have evil hearts"
The old lady looked long and fondly
The McCook tribune., 1898-02-25

in her daughters face; then she said,
with loving smile:
II ken one man that has the heart
of a king-ay, of an angel Marjorie" !"
"Who, mother?"
"Who but Johnnie Sutherland? my
blessings on the lad! But for him, |
should have lost my bairn forever, and
it was for his sake, Marjorie, that L
wished ye were a widow indeed
Marjorie flushed deep crimson and
| turned her head away. Sutherlands
answering devotion had not failed to
touch her deeply, and she understood
| 1t now in all its passionate depth and
strength; but she still felt herself un-
der the shadow of her old sorrow, and
she knew that the tie which bound her
to Caussidiere could only be broken by
death.
Thus time passed on, until the dreary
| desolate winter Of that terrible year,
so memorable to France and French
men, set in with all its vigor. There
was little JOY for Sutherland. Indeed,
his trials were becoming almost more
than he could bear, and he was wonder
ing whether or not, after all, he should
leave his home and Marjorie, when
there came piece of news which fair
ly stunned him.
1t came in the shape of letter and
paper from his Partisan artist friend.
The letter, after few preparatory
words, ran as follows:
You may be shocked, but | hardly
think you will be sorry to hear of the
death of your little friends husband,
Leon Caussidiere He disappeared in
most mysterious manner, and is sup
posed to have been privately put to
death. What he was, Heaven knows!
but he mixed a good deal in politics,
and Judging from what you told me
about him, I shouldn't be at all sur
prised to hear that he was a spy. Well,
at any rate, whatever he was he is gone
peace be to his soul, and l fancy the
world will get on q good deal better
without him than with him. At any
rate, a certain part of it will, | know!
With this send paper, that you may
read the official account of the death
of your friend, and know that there
is no mistake about it.
Having finished the letter, Suther-
land turned to the paper-glanced
down its columns; came upon mark
ed paragraph, and read as follows in
the French tongue:
"Caussidiere, holding an officers
commission under the Committee OF
Public Safety, has been convicted of
reasonable practices and put TO death.
He was tried by military tribunal, and
executed yesterday
Sutherland put down the paper and
held his hands to his head; he was
like man dazed Was he glad? No,
he would not allow himself to feel glad
to rejoice in the death of fellow
creature, even though he was his en-
emy.
And yet, if Caussidiere was dead,
Marjorie was free. The very thought
seemed to turn his brain. He put both
the letter and the paper in his pocket,
and went up to his room. He could not
work, but he sat down among his pict-
ures and tried to think.
What must he do? Go to Marjorie?
No. he could not do that-for she would
detect the joy in his face and voice,
and her sensitive nature would recoil
from him. and that he could not bear.
He must not see her; other lips than
his must tell the news.
He remained all the morning shut
I'D in his room, but in the afternoon
he left the house, and walked slowly
across the fields toward Annandale
Castle.
