have not asked you before. have
felt that if you liked to spend these
hours with your beloved dead, you had
a right to do so; but now the day has
come when he is to be laid to rest at
last, and you must come away.
Dolores raised her white, worn face
to that of her old friend.
"By Gertrude's desire he will be
buried at Scarsdale. There is an open
space of ground in the park, and she
says that it will be your wish to have a
mausoleum erected there. She thinks
to have him buried so near you, where
you can go every day and strew some
flowers on his grave, will be like some
little atonement for letting him lie all
those years unburied."
Again Doroles bent her head over the
velvet pail; and Lady Fielden heard
her murmur-
81 did not know, my darling, I did
not know"
"You will like that, will you not,
Dolores?" said Lady Fielden.
And she answered meekly, Yes
''You will come with me my dear?''
continued her friend Gertrude, come
and help income and persuade your
mother to go away
The white, worn face from which all
light had gone, and the quivering lips,
were piteous to see. Lady Allanmore
kissed the velvet pail.
eff must go" she said, "good-by,
dear love, good-by!"
AS she bent over the coffin, she saw
the ring for the first time; low cry
came from her lips.
"Who brought this here, Gertrude?'
she cried, clinging to her daughter.
1--WE found it on his finger" said
Lord Fielden; and, thinking you
might like it, laid it here.
Gertrude took the ring from the
coffin and kissed it Dolores looked at it
with weeping eyes.
."The last time saw it, she said, "it
was shining on my husbands finger,
and it sparkled in the sunlight just as
he was leaving me. kissed it then,
Gertrude, shall wear it until die
Slowly, and with dropping tears, she
drew the ring upon her finger and
kissed it. One more she laid her face
on the velvet pail. She was SO silent,
so still, that after time Gertrude went
to her At first they thought that she
was dead, her face was SO white and SO
calm. Lady FieIden cried aloud, and
Harry ran to assist; but death had not
been merciful enough to take Lady
AlIanmore She was carried to her
room; and there for many weeks be-
tween life and death, the broken white
rose, once so fair and blooming, lay
with the ruby ring on her finger, while
her heart was with the dead husband
she had misjudged so long.

"What is there?" asked Harry.
hardly able to control his emotion.
|sThe skeleton, my lord, of what was
once Sir Karl Allanmore."
A solemn hush fell on them all.
Found at last-he who had been lost
anu believed guilty all these years!
81 will be down with you," said Lord
Fielden; and, in spite of all remon-
STRANGE, he carried out his resolution.
1t was a terrible place, but not so
horrible as he had imagined. The pit
was. very deep, and dark as night; but,
to all appearance, there was nothing
living in it-no rats, no creeping
reptiles. The walls were dry and hard;
if ever there had been water, it had
long since dried up. Lord Fielden
shuddered as he glanced around.
The three men standing by looked
at each other in horror. Who was the
first to touch what remained of the
baronet? 1t lay few inches from
the spot, Immediately under the open
ing.
@He must have been dead, should
think, when he reached the ground"
remarked Lord Fielden.
With reyerent hands he examined
what had once been the body of one Of
one of the handsomest and kindliest OF
men, There was nothing repulsive
about it. It was but white and per-
feet skeleton. The clothes Sir Karl
had worn were widowed. and fell to
pieces at a touch, the gold watch and
chain were not broken, and one of the
men noticed that the former had stop
ped at twenty minutes past nine.
THAT must have been the time at
which he met with the accident" said

CHAPTER XII.

Gertrude had just been singing, and
the words puzzled her. Quite I'M
consciously something had come a
matter of life and death with her. She
had grown so accustomed to Lord
Fielden's homage and love that she did
not appreciate either until he was away
from her; then quite suddenly her life
grew cold and dim. Harry had learned
some wisdom from his mother.
my dear boy" she had said to him,
ssyou have been too lavish of your love;
believe me, there is nothing like a
little wholesome neglect. For the last
two years you thought only ofGertrude,
and devoted yourself to her. She
accepts your homage as a matter OF
course. Now take my advice and leave
her for short time"
But Harry could not make up his
mind to go away, though he promised
not to speak of love to Gertrude.
This resolve he had carried out, until
at last a glimmer of doubt had creDt
into Miss Allanmore's mind. Did he
really love her? He followed her like
a shadow; he was never away from the
house; he sat for hours, his handsome
face turned toward her, his honest blue
eyes following her every motion; ne
agreed with everything she said-and
at times her sayings we're odd enough;
he was faithful and loyal to her as the
needle to the pole. He lived for Ger
trude-her whole life was his life; yet,
following the wise counsel given to
him, he said nothing of love; and Ger
trude had begun to wonder and doubt.
Taking up a magazine one day, she
had seen the words she had just sung,
and it pleased her to set them to music.
They suited her case exactly, she
| thought. If it were not love, what was
it? And if it were love, why did he
not say so?
| Sixteen months had passed since the
| funeral of Sir Karl Allanmore, and the
old wrong had been righted. Lady
! Allanmore, with her two daughters,
had gone back to Scarsdale, and some
thing like a CLEAN of happiness had
come to Dolores.
| AS much happiness as could fall to
| her lot was Lady AllanmOfe now.
Her husbands memory had been
cleared; he had always loved her; he
| had never deserted her. 1t had been
she who had sinned against him, not he
against her. He had been true to her
in life and death; he was waiting for
her in heaven. She longed in a calm.
gentle fashion for death, that she might
see his beloved face again. She was
living surrounded by her old friends.
and her children were all that a
mothers heart could desire, She had
regained her health and her beauty;
she had never dreamed of being so
happy again.
The family had spent some weeks at
Deerhurst Manor, and Lady Allanmore

London with NJ. Sauret. He is a pro-

to whom he writes occasionally. In a
recent letter he puts in a plea for the
privilege Of playing in public in these
words:

WOMEN AND WINGS.

/ remember once in a society to
which belonged lady lecturer of the
gushing order read paper in which
she was very averse to the theory of
benefcent. Providence. why" she
asked, are we without wings, if all
this omnipotent love directs the course
of the universe? Why have I not been
furnished with wings wherewith I
might fly to the ends of the earth to
my loved ones?" There was a discus
sion after the paper, when a dry, old
one-eyed philosopher made this pithy
speech: Mr.. Chairman, our lecturer
this evening complains because Provi-
dence has given her no wings | think
she has a cause of complaint, but she's
got hold of the wrong one. Her true
complaint is because she's got no
brains. The hit, though rude, went
home with uproarious effect. 1t was in
a measure deserved, and yet [ saw with
regret how ready is the average audi
ence to jeer at womans capacity. To
me, it seems a sorry sort Of gallantry
which at the opera door waits as
squire of DANES with cloak and wrap,
and then in some smokeroom raises
sardonic laugh by suggesting that
idiots are fewer among women because
so little noticeable; yet that is tone
of conversation which, in greater or
less degree, the bulk of men very
often allow themselves, partly no doubt
in jest, yet with meaning in it none
the less.-Nineteenth Century.

THRICE-A-W WEEK EDITION.

The striking and important events
of the last year have esta blished the
overwhelming value of THE THRICE-A.
WEEK WoRlD TO every reader. For an
almost nominal sum it has kept its sub
scribers informed of the progress of al5
our wars and, moreover, has reported
them as promptly and fully as if it were
daily. With our interests still extend
ing throughout the world, wit h our
troops operating in the Philippines and
the great Presidential campaign, too. at
hand, it's value is further increased.
The motto of THE THRICE-A- WEEK
WORLD is improvement. 1t strives each
year to be better than it was the year
before, and public confidence in 1t is
shown by the fact that it now circulates
more than twice as many papers every
week as any other newspaper not a
daily, published in America.
We offer this Tnequaled newspaper
and The WEEKLY LEADER together one
year for Sl.l5.
