~ ne Giendurwood carriage was stand
ing where Jack had ordered it to remain
when he arrived. Jack had thrown him
self back in his corner and had folded
his arms across his breast Audrey sat
bolt upright, her two cold little hands |
clinched tight together, her teeth set so
that the soSs that rose to her throat |
should not escape her lips
Who shall attempt to describe the |
state of those two hearts, both wounded
to the very quick, both heavy with that
deep sorrow that comes when one has
been deceived where one loves best?
why did they take me to him? Why
was l married to him? l would sooner
have died than have listened to what
those women said tonight, and know
that he has never never loved me-" said
Audrey to herself, passionately.
And so my happiness Is over" ran
jacks troubled thoughts. "Well, it has
not lasted long. Fool-fool that have
been, to believe that any woman could
be the angel l have pictured her to be,
and that she should love him--him, above
all other men | feel as though his
very lifes blood will not give me salts
faction"
They reached the gates of Craiglands
at last; few minutes drive through the
well-kept avenue, and then the door. Jack
got out, and then forcing himself by an
almost superhuman effort to appear nat
ural before the servants turned to as
sist her. Audrey put her cold hand In
his as she stepped out of the brougham.
How little did either Of them think that
they would not clasp, or even touch,
, hands again for many a weary day.
The fragrance and warmth Of her bed
room seemed to choke Audrey. Hastily
hinging off her domino, she passed to the
window and pushed it open, and then
( stood by it, the sound of her own hear
e beating in her ears like a sledge hammer
Would Jack come? She waited severa
J. moments. If he had come to her ther
she would have done that which woul'
. have put matters straight at once, for tn
= agony in her breast was urging her t.
= speak out to ask him why he had deceive'
= her, why he had married her? The no
blood rushed to her cheeks again an
{ again, as she recalled the remarks thos
e two women had made, and realized hoy
1t cruelty the world judged her already.
e Five, ten, fifteen, twenty minutes wen
ID oy, and Audrey still stood waiting 70
D, the sound Of her husbands footsteps o
n the stairs and the passage outside.
II Her happiness was ended; Jack Il
10 longer loved her-indeed. had never love
ID her. She was his wife, that was true, an
it must be her lot to bear with the diff
- culties as with the joys that fell to h
=. as his wife.
y, STILL" the child thought sorrowful
~ to herself, "he has acted wrongly; he HI
III been cruel to Sheila, to himself, to N
nj am glad he did not come in just mo-
IN yes, glad, for it shows that he is tired
on deceit and hypocrisy, and-and l cam
ce bear to think that the nature l thong
er so honest should only prove false. VIII
on was 1t that those women said2 "
VT worst days work Jack Glendurwood
nm when he married me- People should
at- careful how they speak out-the trutf
&c Her lips quivered, but her face fam
- with proud color. THE worst da,
work for Jack" she repeated slowly, "a
am the one who has brought that
Sn- him. II who would lay down my !
DIX for him. Why did l ever meet him w
es- did | ever leave home? Why did I
AS heaven let me die before all this sorr
W. came upon him through me? Jack
3 darlingi My darling !"
lin Her hot, fearless eyes stared into
gh fire. as if to seek some solution Of t
We. painful problem there. In her loving &
d,, erosity Audrey made all excuses for
w. husband now. She no longer blamed !;
W. was still to her the dearest creature
"s' earth; and yet so great was the agony
thought of his deceit that, had he held
ton his arms to her and called her tenderly
ale name, she would have turned from
ud- and stood aloof.
