She Was Fnraued.

A young woman answered an adver-
tisement for a servant. and the lady
Of the house seemed pleased with her,
but before engaging her there were
some questions to ask.
Suppose" said the .lady-"now,
only suppose, understand-that you
were carrying a piece OF steak from
the kitchen, ana by accident should let
1t slip from the dish to the floor, what
should you do In such a case7"
The girl looked the lady square In
the eye for a moment before asking
as it a private family or are there
~boarders?"
"Boarders." answered the lady.
"Pick 1t up and put 1t back In the
DISH" firmly replied the girl.

7 1 son was born to them. His pride In
the child seemed to draw them closer
toe and after that things ran
more smoothly. n
"One day, when the boy was about
Ave months old, he came home to find
his wife running. shriekiny about the
room, and brandishing a long. slim
knife above her head.
Swift as lightning all that which
had bewildered and perplezed was
rade clear to him. His enigma was
solved. He had married a madwoman.
"He called for aid. The servants
fastened up. She resisted, frantically,
awhile. Like a fash. before any n
| could interpose to prevent her, she had
sv ung aloft the knife she held and
had plunged 1t to the hilt in her
heart!
"Ah, ii was all such = wretched
STORY! He left the child-whom his
wife had insisted should be given h.s
ncme--in the charge Of an old woman
who. for a certain sum, paid promptly.
agreed to care for him. He went away.
ne cared little whittier.
later he met me-met me and
lcSe ed me with a passion Infinitely
deeper and stronger than any fancy
he had ever felt for her. He knew how
proud I was-that l would never mar
~ him If | knew.
80 he played a cowardly part and
hid all from me. He had tried to tell
me that night in Rome-had tried and
failed. In time he no longer attempt
cd to do so. He ceased to torment
himself. He simply had let himself
drift on the current of fate.
"He told me all this as we stood and
faced each other, both as white as
ashes.
Now he cried, when he had in-
isled, 'c~oncealment is over. The Sc
cier has been a heavy burden for me
to bear. The skeleton has stalked out
of its closet at last and Is rafting its
rusty bones
"'You should have told met I cried,
psssionately. You acted a cowardly
lie-you deceived mel

| told you that the heir OF Blackcastle,
who lawfully bore the same name that
| offered you, and who would n day
he master in your home, was the son
of a ballet dancer-would you have
married me?'

no, would have died frst!'

not give you up. Fou your sake l
would have periled my souls salvation,

"Iove!' l cried In scorn. You
never loved me. A man does not bring
misery on the woman he loves!'
"'Call it what you will he said, 1t
Is done!'
"At the very thought Of all the wrong
he had done me-of the dark possibili-
ties the future held for my boy-I
fiared up in one Of my terrible RACES.
"'Aye,' | answered him, 1T is done,
but reparation, as far as lies In your
power, you must make to me and my
child. You cannot for one instant i'm
ae,ne that I will allow this offspring Of
a Partisan ballet dancer to take prece-
eence Of my SON! You must disown
him. deny him, ignore him!'

II Didn't Come of.

The man at tho rear end Of the smok-
ing car was holding his hand to his
Jaw and evidently suffering from
toothache. He stood It about an hour
and then rose up and demanded of the
other twenty passengers In the car:
rs there anybody here who says that
Christopher Columbus discovered
American"
No one answered and he sat down
again. Ten minutes later one OF the
crowd made bold to ask him why he
put such an inquiry. and he answered.:

CHAPTER xxxVii.
A Suspicion.

"For awhile the storm ragged nercely.
l. was a bitter battle we fought there
In the moonlight, he eager In defense
of right, I strong with q mothers
mighty love. | conqueredl"
She paused as though exhausted.
Tie girl at her feet moved with a rest
less gesture.
"Such victory!" she said. in a voice
low, but hot with dlsdain--"such VIC
tory! It ahmed against every law Of
honor and humanity"
My lady caught her breath sharply,
but she ventured no protest. She re-
sumed the story.
"The next day he started for Paris.
He found the child and secured q
guardian for him. He said he had
adopted the boy when quite a baby,
and wanted him well cared for. He
tried to persuade the lad to give somo
other name than that which he had
always borne-Clive Carrington-but
In vain. So he told the mar In whose
care he left him that he had given the
little fellow his own name.
"He was to be borught up in the be-
lief that he was an orphan. and when
old enough was to be found suitable
employment.
This done, my husband came home.
Life flowed on. but eve again the old
life we had known. Letters from
Paris came at long intervals; from the
