CHAPTER XIV.

/ was sitting in a large easy chair,
with my back towards the door, and he
did not see me for time, although, by
a sidelong glance, could distinctly see
him. He started at the sight of Judith,
as though he had not expected to see
her, exclaiming, you herew
pray walk in, and allow me to intro
duce you to my husband" she said, with
the old irony. Another unexpected
pleasure, no Doubt"
Mr.. Rodwell advanced into the room,
looking somewhat bewildered; but when
he saw me, he started up with indig-
nant surprise.
What is the meaning of this? Who
has dared to bring this fellow here?' he
cried. This is too much Judith. How
came you here? How did you know of
this place? / cannot understand all
thisp' He spoke in a more modified
tone, but still looked vexed and wratlful.
1T is very easily explained My hus-
band being away from his loving wife,
was seized with brain fever in some
wretched lodging; the parish doctor, who
was attending him, said that it would
not be safe to remove him any great
distance. In this dilemma, Mr. Mont
gomery, who lived a door or two off, pro-
posed that he should be taken to a
house of yours, of which, for certain rea-
sons of your own, you had given him the
keys. As my husbands life is very pre-
cious to me just now, l thankfully ac-
cepted the Offer"
HCease this mockery, Judith, and tell
me the meaning of all this"
do you wish me to be serious?" she
asked, menacingly.
Il wish to know by what right YOU
have brought this fellow into my housep
by the right of my own will, John
Rodwell; dispute it at your peril"
If you desire scene it had better
be out Of the presence of Witnesses he
said, quietly.
what have to say shall be said
here. / have no secrets from him, and
what l have to say 1 would have him
hear!"
Il decline the conference" He was
moving away.
Like a panther she bounded past him,
and placed her back against the door.
You do not leave this room until YOU
have heard all have to say! Disobey
me, and l will show you no mercy. l
will ruthlessly crush every plan and hope
of your lifew
"You" he sneered.
Eyes, l. Suppose were to send in
formation to Bow street of the where
abouts of certain young lady, for
whose discovery a reward is offered.
where would be the fortune you have
been scheming, and SHINING, and fawn-
ing for through your whole life?'

CONCERNING MARRYING AGE.
Figures Indicate that the Percentage

Figures Indicate that the Percentage
of Youthful Marriages lie Small.
The dictum Of Governor Warfeld
that girls should not marry until they
are 20 has naturally caused consider
abel discussion among those most in
terested-the girls themselves, their
parents and the young men who do
not want to wait for a bride until she
is verging on old maidhOod.
The first question Of interest Is a
matter of fact: Are our girls generally
marrying at too early an age? Some
hight is thrown on this matter by CITY
Registrar McGlenan, of Boston. in the
Globe of that city. He shows that in
the year 1902, out of 6,172 brides only
10, or a little more than 2 per cent.
were less than is. While more than
half the total number were under Ok.
yet 4,1SO, more than two-thirds of the
whole number Of brides, were mar.

These figures, the registrar thinks

miserable, spiritless outcast; you, WHO'LL

me with loathing; and you ask me Wnat

tiOnate hands; and, in the second place,
to arrange certain matters of business
