CHAPTER XI.

Rather impatiently disengaging the
hand she had seized, l reminded her
of her duties to her guest, whose ex-
istence she seemed to have forgotten,
at which she recovered her senses,
begged me not to mind her f~oolishness,
and with a cheerful smile nodded fare

| was detained in town longer than
I expected, and, when, On the fourth
day, the express pore me northwards
again, l sighted the beech woods Of
Colworth with a feeling Of pleasure
and satisfaction l had not experienced
even after the absence of years. Yet
no one but the groom met me at the
station, though had wired my arrival.
A hasty inquiry relieved my fears; all
had gone well in my absence, l was
informed, and at the lodge gate Edith
awaited me, and, with an excited ges-
ture, begged me to descend.
Here you are at last, dear boy!" she
whispered, glad welcome sparkling in
her lovely eyes I've thought you
were never coming. Helen is busy
with the housekeeper; l don't think she
knows the train is due yet, so you'll
have time to take a turn in the wood
with me and tell me all-all. Oh,
Paul, such a time I've spent since; but
for your dear CHEEKY letters l couldn't
have borne it,"
Half an hour later / entered the
house, briskly calling my wife's name,
but no answer came. She was not in
any of the sitting rooms, so l hurried
up to her own room and found her
standing motionless by the window,
She did not move or seem aware of my
entrance until touched her reproach-
fully; then she turned with a slight
SILVER, and hid her face against my
shoulder.
why did you go away-oh, why did
you go away, Paul?" was all she said.
Helen, what a greeting! What's
the matter with you, child? Am l not
back to you now, whole in mind and
body?"
"Oh, yes, you are!" she answered,
half drowsily. 81 hope you had a
pleasant time in town. Was it not
very hot?"
l looked at her uneasily, and was
startled by the great change in her ap-
pearance-so startled that l did not
speak for a minute.
MY absence does not seem to have
agreed with you, Nell" I said, with a
forced sprightliness, and pinching her
wan cheek. II must not let you try
a spell of widowhood for some time
again."
"Oh, there's nothing particular the
matter with me" she returned gently,
withdrawing from my touch. There
goes the luncheon bell. Be quick and
get ready, Paul; we must not keep our
guest waiting, you know"

SPANISH BLOOD IN IRELAND.
The Combination Makes Women of Great
Beauty and Perfect Form.


Beauty and Perfect Form.
When the Spanish armada was
wrecked on the coasts OF Clare and
Galway counties many survivors of the
disaster who reached the shores were
kindly cared for by the Irish people.

fortunates remained In the families OF
their generous-hearted rescuers says
the American Quarterly Review. Span
ish Point on the coast of Clare reminds
OF the disaster to the great Spanish
fleet. In the counties of Clare and
Galway there is to be found at the
present day a people differing essen
tia'ly from any of the distinctive races
existing on Irish soil. This people are
the descendants of the Spanish officers,
sailors and soldiers who had been cast
ashore during the fearful storm which
destroyed the Spanish feet.
The race marks OF this people are
well defined. Crossed as 1t has been
with the Milesian stock, its Spanish
features offer a most interesting study.
for they remain prominent. The men
are tall, muscular. dark-featured, with
black eyes and black hair. The wom-
en- have decided Spanish traits in their
physique; they are usually tall; bru-
nettes in some cases and fair In 9TH
ers; with large, expressive black eyes
and an abundance of black hair. Their
beauty reminds of the women OF the
Basque provinces, while among them
are to be found the perfection Of the
female form in all Ireland.

sets-with varying success. Still the
group under the chestnut tree did not
dispense, but rather increased as the
afternoon wore On. OF course | was
very pleased my wife should be the
object of such f1attering and uncom-
promising attention, as | had resented
the lukewarm, careless manner in
which she had at first been received by
the county families, and the scarcely
yelled contempt and pity in which
was held for allowing myself to be
entrapped into such a wretched mar
riage; but, after a couple of hours or
public reparation, l felt my wounded
vanity as a husband satisfied, and rath-
er unceremoniously dispensing her ami
mated court, informed her of my wish
to return home.
"Homei" she repeated, with a flash
of her eyes that was almost insolent.
What nonsense, Paul! Why, it is
barely 6 o'clock! Besides, l have just
promised to play a game of tennis. Go
home If you are tired, and send the
pony trap back for me in an hour or
two"
, moved away, feeling as if a glass OF
cold water had been thrown into my
face, and the court of admirers closed
round her again. AS / walked mood

tie gloyed hand grasped my arm, and
Edith whispered entreatingly:

death of him, and he won't leave me.
You look tired yourself, and as If you
had quite enough of the festivity."
81 was thinking of going home. Are
you ready to come, Elder"
Quite. Let us start at once; I'm so
glad I met you, Paul"
Bidding her cavalier an unceremon-
ious adieu, she put her hand within my
arm and we walked home across the
fields, leaving the pony trap for Helen
to order whenever she liked.

with a 1urried, nervous movement that
I saw naturally attracted my wife's at

to her cheek, Edith turned from me
and affected to be deeply interested IN
a book.

She scarcely spoke or ate anything
during the meal, but sat with downcast
eyes, listlessly playing with her knife
and fork. The oftener | glanced at
her the more painfully L was struck
by the change in her looks, intensified
by contrast with Edith's rose-tinted
cheeks, sparkling eyes, and gay, sweet
laugh. Her skin had completely lost
its clear, healthy hue, and was gray
and Opaque, her eyes were sunken and
dull, and there was a hard, harsh line
about her mouth that robbed her face
OF its youthful appearance.
Helen" l said anxiously, following
her from the room when she was leav-
