CHAPTER Xiv.

Lady Laura Wynyard had shown
her husband one letter. There was
another and more explicit one which
she carefully hid from him. 1t ran
thus:
Dearest Mamma know that my
leaving you in this manner will be a
great sorrow and a great surprise.
cannot tell you why I am going, but
you know that you may most safely
trust me. Remember this, that my
return depends entirely on yourself
When that unfortunate will which
the captain persuaded you to make is
destroyed. | will come back at once,
but not until then. I have thought
of many plans by which you could ret
me know when this takes place, and
the best, lhe safest, is by advertise
ment. | shall contrive to see the
Times every day. When the will is
destroyed, send the following words
for insertion in the advertisement
sheet of the times: Return without
fear; | have done what you wished.
The hour in which I read those
WOIuo L SHALL U0Slu, my journey nome
Do not let any one see this letter;
and, above all things, do not let
the captain learn that I know about
the will. l shall soon see you again
my beloved mother, and then I will
explain all what now must seem like
a cruel mystery to you.
From your loving child,
Angela"
Lady Laura wondered even more
when she read that note. What
could it mean? What connection
could there be between the will she
had made and Angela's leaving home?
Fortunately for her. not the faintest
suspicion Of the truth occurred to
her. She was one of those dreamy
creatures who seldom realize a thing
unless it is put before them Nm start
ling cOlOrs or in emphatic words.
Lady Laura Wynyard thought Of the
will she had made and of Angela's
fight from home, but could not see
how they bore upon each. other. If
any one had pointed out to her that
the will she had made gave her hus-
band the greatest interest in her
daughters death, and that her own
death would make him a rich man,
she would have been reused at once

matter most fearfully," he said to
himself, with darkening brows; Il
should have been more prompt in
action. There is no one to blame
but myself
If Angela did not return, if she
never fell into his power again. even
the loss of his wife would not bring
him one step nearer to Gladys Rane;
the insurmOuntable barrier of poverty
would still be between them. It was
such a complete downfall, such a
complete crushing of all his plans,
that he could not recover himself.
Notwithstanding all that had hap
pened, he would have gone up to
town but that Lady Laura fell i'll of
a low fever, one of those subtle
fevers that seem to wear the very
life away, but yet cause very little
| outward show of illness. He was
| careless enough Of the opinion of the
world in general, still even he did
not like to leave his wife i'll at Rood
while he went UP to town for round
| of gayety.
He was not the most pleasant OF
companions during those days, and
the few ignorant people who talked
about the captains devotion to his
wife little dreamed how she trembled
at the very sound of his footsteps,
how she shuddered at the sound OF
his voice. Outwardly his manner
was negligently kind, but he knew
how to make her heart ache with a
yelled sarcasm, how, with a few care
| less words, to give her unutterable
pain.

A STREET CAR INCIDENTAL conduc-
tor on a Broadway car had refused to
take a transfer the other day on the
ground that it was too long after the
hour punched, says the New York
Times. The passenger was politely
told that under the rules he could not
accept the transfer. and that he would
have to pay the fare or leave the car.
"I'll not pay and I'll not leave the
car" said the passenger, savagely.
"Ill pay for you, then" said the con-
ductor, ringing up the fare. "Td rather
lose cents than wrangle with a pas
senger."
This would doubtless have closed the
incident had not the irate passenger
seen ABE" Hummel sitting opposite
him. To him the irate one appealed to
know If he was right or wrong in refus-
ing to pay his fare.

ed Mr.. Hummel, with show Of grav-
ity.

fee."
"Well, here's a five dollar BILL" said
the passenger, peeling off bill from
big roll, and handing it to Mr.. Hum
mel, who promptly accepted 1t.
