CHAPTER XII.

Pale and languid, but with her love-
Illness only enhanced thereby, Helen
Reynolds lay next morning among the
cushions Of her lounge.
The clock on the mantel struck IL.
The day was so far gone, and already
nothing had been done. No longer
could she hesitate in the work that she
must do. No longer lose precious time.
Her husbands forgery of Grace Haw-
thorne's name must at once be OBJ
tanned.
Harry himself sat writing at a table
close beside her. Once, at least, in ev-
cry minute he raised his eyes to look at
her.
Her faint on the previous evening
had greatly alarmed him. A physician
had been instantly summoned, who de-
clared that his patient seemed to be
suffering from intense nervous excite
ment.
Helen explained this on her recovery,
by stating that she had started from
| the house for walk, and, on passing
through Lafayette Square, attracted by
| its solitude, had sat down upon one of
! the benches to rest. That she had over
| heard, from a bench near by, two men
| planning robbery and had feared to
stir, lest they should accost her. She
had gotten chilled through. she said,
| and the warm air of the house, on en-
| terihg, had overcome her.
Some simple remedies had been pre-
scribed, and this morning she declared
herself fully restored.
Only her own soul knew the long
Of eli ri~
ments had heightened themselves into
| hours, the hours into years of torture
| She had lain with her hands grasping
the side of her bed and her face half
buried in her pillow, in the effort to
repress the scream which now and then
seemed as if it must break from her
I lips.
Let one little sound, even a moan
escape her-give way but a single inch
! to the tide which she held back by ali
the power of her self-control-and she
knew that she would be powerless tc
prevent it's utter destruction of all her
faculties. She would have shrieked out
the whole terrible story, and have gone
mad as it's fitting sequel.
With the dawn some Of her calm re-
| turned. Overcome by fatigue, she fall
en- into dreamless slumber 1t had rest
ed and refreshed her in the relaxation
! it afforded from the terrible strain.
| She now could think calmly.
s"What are you writing, Harry" she
| asked, at last.
"Some letters for father" he an
! swered. "Shall stop, dear? They can
| wait until Tomorrow"
ooh, no! do not stop on my account
I was only wondering what mischief
! your pen was plotting now. I get nc
| more letters, DO. more notes. I almost
fancy, Harry, that miss them"
miss my letters, when you have my
self, darling: that is scarcely com
pliment, but will write you one at
once, if you say SO. What wish OF
yours would not crafty, my wife?
You have made me so supremely hap
py, so supremely blessed!" and he
stopped from where he sat to. press q
kiss upon her lips.
Fondly she stroked back the hair
from his brow.
