And there were no storms of trial and no

INTRU DER


A pretty tableau was arranged in the
window. Marguerite was in the arms
OF tall handsome young man in trav-
ehng dress. She was crying bitterly,
and at the moment of Valdane's inop-
perfume entrance Bernard was in the
act of kissing away her tears.
An insane feeling of Indignation
filled the heart of the intruder. and he
with difficulty restrained himself from
crying out: "Confound you, SIR, let
go of my wife,"
He checked himself just in time,
managed to get out an II beg your
pardon and beat hasty retreat.
The two parted instantly; Bernard
was the first to recover himself. He
walked forward, hurriedly took Mar
queries hand, murmured "A last
goodby. my darling-I shall lose my
train" and went out into the hall.
She followed him. not even needing
the presence of Valdane; stood on the
threshold. biting her lip to leep down
her tears, and waved him sweet fare
wells with her little hand.
The young lawyer stood irresolute.
He could hardly hope for an interview
in this state of Miss Lilbourne's emo
tiOns-he had not sufficiently realized
before the existence OF tangible
rival. Sadly he admitted that young
SIZZLING was a far handsomer man

One of the servants came to him.

minutes. if you'll take the trouble to

He was ushered into the dining
room. and sat down; the place was
shabby, but comfortable; the carpet
was worn, but the bOokshelves were
well stocked-it was evidently the
abode of cultured and refined people
One or two excellent engravings were
on the walls-the window-boxes were
full of mignonette.
Punctually at the expirat.~n OF the
five minutes Marguerite came in Her
eyelds were still red, and she carried
a handkerchief in her hand; but she
was quite composed. She wore a
white dress, clean and fresh, and he
thought he had never seen anything sc
sweet and gracious as she looked that
| day.
He was very pale as they SHOOK
hands and blundered into an apology
for disturbing her; a subject she dis
missed with a wave of the hand.

that he had never loved her. He laid

Valdane took his hat and hurried
out; even the air Of Lance lane seemed

through. His face was hard and reso-
