What will eventually be the limit OF
individual wealth? Half a century ago
"ten thousand year" was considered
to be a vast fortune. Then fifty thou
sand year. was the phrase commonly
used to describe the income of fabu-
lousy rich men or women. Later We
took to speaking OF "millionaires." In
quite recent times the 'multi-million-
aire,'' with twenty millions, had
reached the limit of private wealth:
then forty millions; now the limit has
risen to hundred millions, and already
the word millionaire" has come into
use in the United States. Will the
multi Millionaire ever replace the null
millionaire?

fancied that something went whirring
through the trees. That something
was the ball that had been fired at La
dy Hamilton, which pierced her shout
der and would have pierced her heart
had it gone in the direction in which
&c had been aimed. For the moment
Lord Caraven had been too bewildered
to know what had happened; what he
was saying in reality to his guest was
that he liked his wife's maiden name
better than any he had ever heard.
Lady Hamilton, who never liked to
hear any one praised but herself, asked
at once what it was. He had an
swered, Mildred Ransome:" and those
were the words Lady Caraven had
heard. They had been no sooner ut
tered than Lady Hamilton fell on his
shoulder with a faint, low cry--a cry
that seemed almost simultaneous with
the firing Of the shot.
The earl knew she had been shot, but
by whom or why he could not guess.
He laid her down for one minute while
he looked around; then it was that he
saw the Wullt ldNc VI tilS WIG. lAC
Jumped to the conclusion that she had
done it. she, and no other, was there
on the spot. She had even to himself
.ayoyed her jealousy. She had follow
ed them, and in the madness of her fol-
ly had shot Lady Hamilton. No other
idea occurred to him. He said to him
self at once that it was So and he i'm
plicitly believed it. He had rushed to
her and told her that she was "a guilty
woman" She had owned it. But
they were speaking of different kinds OF
guilt. He meant the guilt of murder;
she meant the guilt of being spy up
on him. No doubt Of her guilt relieved
his mind. Even in that first bewilder-
ed moment he had said TO himself that
she should never enter his house again
but that he would shield her because
she bore his name. He had told hei

Then she was content to remain in
her room, not suffering very much
pain.
The keepers had made strenuous eff
forts to find the poaehers, but they
had evidently made their escape fright
ened doubtless at what they had done.
No trace Of them could be found.
1t was with sense of relief that
Lord Caraven went to his room that
night. He wanted to be alone to
think over the events of the day He
found himself dwelling less on the ter

the woods. Dire were the threats Of
vengeance as to the rogue who had
done the mischief. Meanwhile a groom
was dispatched to Court Raven to sum
mon a doctor-the wounded lady had
been taken to her room and laid on the
bed. At first the earl was frightened
lest the wound should prove mortal;
but one OF the ladies staying at the cas-
tie, who knew something of surgery,
declared that the wound was not dan
gerous, and that the ball could soon be
extracted. After hearing that the earl
returned to his unhappy young wife.
His f1rst great fear that she had been
guilty OF murder had been removed;
there remained the fear lest the wound
should prove dangerous in the end. 1t
was better, he thought, than she should
go away at once.
He made two announcements to his
household. which no one even thought
OF connecting. The first and most
startling was, of course, that Lady
Hamilton had been shot accidentally
a chance shot-though why ball car
fridge had been used was a puzzle
supposed to have been fred by poach-
ers in the wood the second was that
Lady Caraven had been suddenly sum
money to her fathers home in London.
No one dreamed of connecting the two
announcements, and in the disordered
state Of the household it never occurred
to any or the guests to question the
servants as to when the countess had
gone. She had been sent for after din
ner, and the apologies that the earl
made were deemed quite sufficient.
Some OF the guests indeed said that it
was as well Lady Caraven was out of
the way, as she would probably have
been greatly distressed. To this day
the earl is uncertain what in his panic
he said or did. The only idea quite
clear to him was that he must shield
the woman who bore his name
1t was not very long before the doc
tor arrived, and then all alarm was at
an end. He found the ball at ouce;
it had not gone very deep into the
shoulder. 1t was extracted and the
wound bound up.

Hamilton than on the wonderful. TACT
that she loved him.
II have gone mad love you-let
me die!"
The words haunted him like the re-
frain of song. He could not sleep.
All night the pale, passionate, beauti-
full face was before him. The words
rang in his ears as they had rung
when he saw Hildred in the star
light, pleading, praying, accusing him,
all in ono vehement storm OF words.
So he would see her until he
died He felt as though she had been
stranger to him until then. The
passionate love which had famed into
hot jealousy had been hidden under
cold, calm exterior. How she loved
him. He had never seen any woman's
face light UP so splendidly. For the
first time in his life he had owned to
himself that by the side of her mag
nificent beauty blonde loneliness faded
into nothing. He wondered that he
had lived SO long in the house with her.
so long under one roof, yet he had not
noticed that which every one else re-
marked.
He was struck most of all by the fact
that she loved him. 1t did not matter
about anything else. He had read her
truth and love In her face. She loved
him as no one else ever would or could;
and it flashed across him that the wife
he had neglected and despised was,
notwithstanding what she had done,
one of the noblest women in the world.
If it had but been different: ii he had
but thought more OF her before this
happened. How she must have loved
him to let herself drift into such
crime! Was there any one who had
ever loved him half so well?
II wish it had never happened" he
said to himself she is a noble wom-
an in spite of all, and well. | could
have loved her, but now she must new

Yet it showed how strongly his feel
ings were swayed when he thought far
less of wounded Lady Hamilton than
of the fact that his wife loved him.
He could not sleep or rest. Never
had his pillow seemed so hard, his
thoughts so troublesome. The excite
ment had been too much for him.
Wherever he went, whatever he did,
his thoughts were with Hildred. Had
she reached Arley Ransome's house?
Had he acted wisely in letting her go

lowed him, haunted him, pursued him.

the conversation was sure TO turn up
on the poachers and Lady Hamilton.

with Sir Raoul in his room; and the

worn and haggard the handsome earl

She looked up at him proudly.
"You must not interfere. papa. l
shall never return to him now!'
He looked pityingly at the white
face
''You appear very i'll, Hildred. Is
there nothing that can do for ycu!
Nothing" she replied, col9ly. In
her heart she felt bitterly angry with
her father. She had trusted him; he
had misled her. She did not offer to
kiss him or to touch his hand, but went
quietly out of the room and upstairs,
leaving him with some very unpleas-
ant thoughts.
1t had not been an agreeable inter-
ruption to his breakfast. but he tried
to think little CT it. 1t was only a
quarrel, after all, and his daughter had
done nothing wrong. He should make
1t all right in a few seconds when he
saw the earl. He wrote to him before
he weat to the city, telling him that MS
wife had reached home safely, but was
looking very i'll.
The rest of that day Hildred remain
ed in her room, and on the morning
following she did not come downstairs.
1t was afternoon when Arley Ransome,
with face as pale as death, asked 1or
admittance to her apartment. she
bade him enter, and he did so, with
an open letter in his hand. 1t was her
husbands writing, she perceived.

father, sternly; you told me that you

Without word or a murmur she
looked at him, and then fell like one
