moment to conquer the feeling. Slow
ly she passed round the thick barrier
Of laurel, yew. and holly. and there
flashed upon her sight the same pic
ture which had presented Itself that
evening long ago; and her heart al
most ceased to beat for an instant. and
her mind was filled with CHASTITY con-
sciousness of delusion.
A man WAS leaning against the white
pillar of the porch-a man with his
arms folded and his head bowed: his
whole attitude was expressive OF the
most hopeless and absolute detection.
He had not heard her footstep: he
remained perfectly motionless, but the
girl reeled and staggered back a pace
or two in a feeling of helpless terror.
The man was there-it was the same
man who stood there beforehand yet
1t was the last man whom she would
have expected to see.
1t was Mr.. Martineau!
The rush OF ideas was too quick, too
instantaneous to enable her to rea-
son; she only fell back as II suddenly
struck In the face. and. as 1t seemed,
without her own volition name spas
medically left her lips.
"Val!" she cried.
The short syllable appeared to ring
out like bell. SO startling was the
sound.
The man who heard 1t started; his
eyes met those of Marguerite, and for
some moments they remained so-each
staring at the other with the terror
of the first surprise written on their
haggard faces. Through the girls
mind was stealing the awful convic-
tion that this was no delusion, but a
horrible reality-a thing that could not
be rejected. Twice 1t seemed as IL he

A little rustic bridge crossed tho
stream; and In the distance. behind
clump Of dark trees. a thin line of
blue smoke went up. showing where
the house lay.
Marguerite let herself into the
meadow, and wandered across 1t like
one In dream. She went and stood
on the bridge. and stared down at the
clear water. Little incidents came
crowding upon her memory. It was
here she had sat SO late. absorbed in
her book. on the evening Of her at
tempted escape. She remembered how
she had watched the sun behind that
very clump Of trees; she recalled the
splendor OF the sky: she heard again
the cav OF the rocks as they flew homo
In long graceful lines, looking 40
densely black against the glowing sky;
she almost felt the dampness of the
dew on the pasture as her small feet
threaded the misty meadow US she
went homeward.
Yielding to the Impulse OF the mo-
ment. she loft the bridge and went
wandering on. making for a small
white wicket, which appeared In the
dark private hedge. Step by step she
traversed the very way she had gone
that evening when she saw her uncle's
guest leaning against the porch. She

lei Brandon was away-there was no
one to say her nny.
The wicket clicked under her lixht
touch. A deathIy stiffness relgned
around. Was the watch dog dead, she
wondered-the dog whose name she
had 10 often tried to remember? In n

with fresh resolution. she paid her

Full of thought. she walked ra1id,y

was going, till suddenly she stopped
with a start; for she was in a place
which she remembered.
1t was a large, level meadow,
through which ran a stream, shaded
by alders and fringed with river weeds.

Marriage is q solemn undertaking at
any time, though 80 many enter on 1t
with light heart. but IL is question:
able IL any marriage ever gave rise to
more speculation as to its possible ef-
feet on American politics than the
union Of Admiral Dewey and Mrs. Ha-
zen. 1t is astounding how many peo-
pie can be found who can scent i'm
Dortant political changes as the result
of the famous admiral's very natural
desire for congenial partner in his
new Washington home. 1t Is by no
means probable that this interesting
match was made up so suddenly as has
been represented. More likely. as SAIL

In the current number OF the Geo.

account OF Patagonia. which Is n por-
ton OF that vast area In South Amer
lea still unknown to geography, and
Interesting because Of the rich prod
ucts. which 1t probably contains, and
It's charming landscapes. II seems that
Patagonia does not merit the bad repu-
tation as regards scenery which IL has
had since Darwin and Fitzroy received
disagreeable impression from the
portion they explored. The plateaus
OF Arizona find their analogy In the
table lands Of Patagonia, and the
picturesque fjords and white noun
tains Of Alaska seem to be a copy of
the fjords and mountains OF Pata-
sonia." The analogy might be pushed
ever further. for It seems there is n
strange similarity between the ancient
customs and industries Of the Alaskan
and Patagoninn Indians.
