Africa and helped civilize it. II is
true he and Kruger clashed, but as be-

AS she spoke the landlord, Mr.. Pinder,
appeared. That's one of my new friends, -
said her husband
The woman looked at the newcomer. She
saw a white-faced, somewhat fat man,
with cunning eyes, close together. Sir, -
she said, ''is it true that you have prom
lSed to give my husband board and lodg-
Ing and as much drink he calls for?'
1t is true, madam, that these things are
provided for him by friend Not by my
self. This friend, be assured, will take care
of him.
'If it is to let him become like a helpless
dog every day, it is not the part of a
friend.''
"AI I have to do her husband ex-
planned. lis to hold my tongue until I am
told to speak,
"A simple condition" said Mr. Pinder
But the friend is most benevolent per-
son."
There is something mysterious In It,
Pray, sir, what has my husband done that
he should be paid so literally for silence?'
1T is a question, madam, that / have
asked myself, in vain"
Then the good woman understood that
this man was also concerned in the myS-
terry and knew what was intended 1t
needed not the quickness and the suspicion
common to the feminine mind for her to
understand that the crafty and meaning
face betrayed the knowledge of what was
meant: but she was careful not to express
her conclusions.
We'll. sir" she said. you might per-
haps tell your friend
Not my friend, madam"
The gentleman, then, who provides all
these things for my husband, that it would
be far better to find him work to do than
, to help him to sit all day drinking
Madam, it is not for me to interfere
with the benevolence of this gentleman"
Il shall keep silence" her husband inter-
posed, as long as it pleases me. When
can revenge myself upon the lady in ques-
tion-Mr. Pinder knows-I shall break ST.

CHAPTER XIII.
Dust, Ashes and dAmazement,

Isabel sat alone all that afternoon, trying
to see her way clear. She was afraid; it is
a wholesome incentive to virtue that We
should exaggerate our Importance. Had the
story of the young widow driven to despair
by her dunS been noised all over the town
she would have been little the worse. A
days talk, days scandal. and the thing
would be over. But she was afraid-she
pictured the mockipg laugh of the world,
the alienation of her friends. the finger of
scorn. the ruin of her reputation, and she
was afraid
When money Is demanded as the price of
silence it is well to consider what may hap
pen If that money is refused. In the case
OF Isabel what had she to expect? The
talk of "a poor, drunken creature. who
worse daily; his talk taat Is to say, among
the talk of the iadf.s mid. the whisper Of
her mistress. ths oak afs Finder, the land
in-law. The Siast-faIneA she could silence,
and he was the only Important witness;
she could silence him Bf the withdrawal of
his support when he would have to go back
to the solitude of his empty house in the
country. In a word there was no reason
for her terror EXCEPT one-the thought that
the story might become known to the man
whose good opinion she desired more than
anything else in the world. For the rest
they might talk or they might be silent;
she need not fear or care.
Ihas view was too sensible for a woman
In her hysterical condition. She was afraid
OF everybody; of the bahkrupt first; of her
brother-in-law; OF OlNer. His lordship
had already placed. In divers hands
statement of the case: perhaps he had al
ready guessed the Truth. Her acquaintance
with him had become an intimate friend
ship; he was never tired Of calling at the
mouse; he seemed always happy In her So
ciety; ne amused and tried to please her;
she thought that. there wanted only one
word to be said and that the time was
nearly come for one Of them to say that
word. Hitherto she had been in no hurry;
the time OF wooing Is more pleasant to
most women than the time OF surrender.
Az this 5uncture, however, she repented
that she had not spoken that word herself,
and made him hers. before this trouble
arose.
There was, alasi to be much more trouble.
Oliver called in thA evening: by this time
Isabel had worked up q very fine headache:
she begged him to take care OF Alice and
to amuse her. For. her own part, she sat
alone by the open window looking upon st
James square.
It was at the end of the month OF Au-
gust; the day had been close and hot with
gray sky; no Sunshine and no wind
Thunder and lightning were in the air; the
storm was ready to burst; the gray clouds

His wife slammed the door in his face.
Muttering and grumbling he descended the
stairs and made his way to Jermyn
street, where he called for another tankard
to cool his brain. He then endeavored to
explain what had happened to Mr.. Pinder
but finding the words evasive and difficult
to catch, he took a third tankard, which
failed to remove his difficulties even in
creasing them. He therefore gave UP the
struggle and resigned himself to pro-
longed s1umber, which carried him through
the afternoon.
That night he made no attempt to return
to his wife's lodgings. In the morning,
somewhat terrified at the acceptance of hel
injunction, and afraid that something
might have happened to her husband, the
good woman made her way to the Grapes
in Jermyn street. Here she learned from
the pot boy that her husband had slept In
the house and was at that moment in the
bar, taking his morning draft.
"Ho!' he said. "You have come to beg
my forgiveness. You are going to entreat
me to return-are you?"
