A Broken Wedding Ring
Continued.
By Bertha "a. Clay.


This was an opportunity not 70 be
lost. With some exertion, and the
help Of Sir Arthur HattOn, he felt
sure of success. OF course he could
not accompany the sisters, as had
been arranged. 70 France, so it was
decided that Sir Arthur should take
them thither and remain for a day or
two. and then return at once to help
with his canvass.
The news affected the sisters
differently. Hettie had dreaded the
Journey with Sir Basil. yet had not
liked TO raise any objection. Leah
hal told herself that she should take
her last look at his beloved face on
English soil. She made no remark
when Sir Arthur told her Of the
change Of their plans; and he was
blind enough TO think that her silence
arose from some little resentment
against her lOver-so little idea had
any one OF the true facts OF the case.
They thought Leah very quiet for
some days after that Who could
guess that in her OVID mind she was
bidding adieu 10 the place she loved
so we'll?
Once she asked Sir Arthur TO drive
her over TO Glen-Sir Basil had gone
10 London on business. The general
was delighted at the request; he re-
jUiced TO think that Leah took so
great an interest in the Improvements.
As he drove her along the road he
tested with her and teased her, he did
not notice that she sat By his side,
cold and pale as a marble statue with
such an expression of bitter pain on
her face as would have startled even
a stranger. She was going 10 say
Eoodby 10 the beautiful house that
would never be her home now. She
wanted TO look once more on the
lavish decorations, at the rooms pre-
pared for her, which she would never
use. She tried 20 picture Hettie there
-Hettie. with her sweet face and
golden hair, who would be go well
suited TO this dainty, picturesque
home. and she wondered as she went
through the rooms. whether, when
Basil was established there, with
Hettie as his wife. he would think Of
her: whether he would remember her
and her great love; whether any idea
would come 70 him OF her suffering or
of her broken heart.
You look very tired and III, Leah, ="
said the general, in deep concern.
He had caught a sight of her as
she came from the room that was 20
have been her bOudoir, aud she was
OF her guard. he was shocked at the
xhite face and the dark. haggard
eyes He kissed her lovingly.
My dear Leah. what is the matter?
Is there anything more than fatigue?'
she RAISED her brave face 10 his-he
never forgot the look or the voice, and
said
NO. there Is nothing wrong; and /
have done nothing which could tire
me-.
she looked round for the last time
upon a scene tLat she was never TO
see agsin; and. as she drove back, she
felt that the pain at her heart could
never be sharper.

looking well, certainly, and the way
in which she hung round his neck
with kisses, and murmured words OF
gratitude struck him.
The duchess made one effort TO win
the girls confidence. The family had
been a week at Mentone, and Hettie
was already much better.
Leah" she said, gently, one day,
taking her hand, you know | have
always been your best friend. / love
you with a great affection, and l am
more than distressed about you. You
are not happy; will you tell me why 2
Leah bent her head and kissed the
kindly hand that rested in her own.
Il am as happy as it is my nature
to be-" she replied, gently.
Tell me, Leah, is all well with you
and Sir Basil?"
"All is well, she answered. Dear
duchess, / have nothing to tell. If |
had, it would be told to you, my best
friend"
Her Grace Of Rosedene was not
satisfied.
IF there is nothing TO cause you
any happiness then l am convinced
that you are altogether out of health.
No girl could look as you do without
some reason for il. You have COM
pletely changed Every one is asking
me what is wrong with you"
After that Leah took a sudden
resolution.
There was in Mertone a celebrated
English physician. DR.. Evan Grifiths
-skilful, prosperous nan, very popu-
lar among the invalids and the Eng
lish at Mentone. He lived with his
mother in a pretty little villa. Popu-
lar as he was, he had never married.
II was said that he had no time for
wooing.
One evening, as Or. Grifiths sat
alone in his study, the servant an
nounced a young lady. She had sent
no card and had given no name, but
had look very i'll.
At first the doctor felt annoyed.
He had no liking for mysterious
patients, and felt it hard that he
could not have one cigar in peace
over the Lancet.
Show the lady in here" he said,
impatiently.
But his impotence died away when
tall, closely yelled woman came in
and stood silently before him.
She did not speak until the servant
had closed the door, then she raised
her veil so that he could see her face
and he was startled by its delicacy
and wonderful beauty.
81 know that ! am calling at an I'M
usual time" she said. Il thank you
much for seeing me. have a ques-
ton to ask-a question of life or
death. Will you answer it"
eff | can" said the doctor. Does
il concern yourself?"
YES" she replied.
And then he felt that death and
not life would be the answer If he
could Judge from her face.

He Logan to understand something
of the case.
do you want to live? he asked
briefly.
mo I want to die" she answered.
Then came a string of questions,
all which she answered candidly
enough. The doctor knit his brows,
and was silent for some time: then he
listened to the action of the heart,
and grew graver still.
Il think" he said, that you have
always had a great tendency to heart
disease; and now, am sorry to say,

Her face frightened, and she MUIR
