| "Ah," the landlady said, madame
await raison, and without doubt her
relative would be charmed to be her
escort till she should overtake the
| friends she had so unfortunately
missed. Such an arrangement was
quite convenable for the English. Z
This conversation had taken place
in the great raftered kitchen, the
landlady's attention being unequally
divided at the moment between Ger
trude and some fowls which were
roasting in front of the fire for din
ner, the fowls receiving larger
share of it, probably, as being less
able to help themselves. But Ger
trude's driver, with his SLOUGH hat
under one arm, his whip under the
other, and his long blue blouse
tucked up at the sides so as to admit
of his putting his hands in his pock-
cts, was standing close by, and had
not lost a word of what she was say
| ing. When the landlady turned away,
he remarked in discreet undertone,
fixing his large melancholy eyes on
Gertrude reproachfully: when
madame hired my carriage, she said
it was her husband whom she sought
to overtake. and prayed me to urge
my horse and spare him not. And to
ease the mind of madame, who is too
young and fair to be allowed to suf-
fer, / drove like the wind. But,
alas! there is no truth anywhere,
with shrug of despair at the APP
palling duplicity of this weary world.
Gertrude looked at him with trou-.
bled face. Il did tell you so, she
said, and, moreover. it is the blessed
truth. But what would you have?
My unhappy husband is mad. He
thinks himself another person. He
will not know me. Would you have
me tell all the world he is my hus-
band, when he will say he is not? or
he is mad, when to those who do not
know him he seems quite sane? They
would not believe it, and would think
me mad. .

of madame whatever happens. She is
too young and fair to be allowed to
suffer. / am her humble servant.
She may depend upon me-" and he
tapped his chest earnestly with the
fingers of both hands, His face had
cleared wonderfully. Gertrude stood
even higher in his esteem than at
first, and he had placed her, to begin
with, next Our Lady, and treated her
with the same affectionate respect.
The landlady now interposed with
an omelette for Gertrude, which the
latter ate standing at the kitchen
table, the landlady pressing her hos
pitality the while to finish it all. Then
she ordered substantial meal for
her devoted driver, and went to lie
down till dinner time.

CHApTER XIV

The steamer was miserable little
affair. There was no cabin fit for a
lady on board, and Gertrude was
therefore obliged to remain on deck,
but this was no hardship. The only
discomfort was the hight air, which
was chilly, but good M. Filippo had
warned her to keep out wrap, and
she had accordingly taken her white
macintosh, which, with it's hood,
covered her from head to foot, keep
ing the heavy dew as well as the
breeze off, and the heat in Sitting
there alone, in her patient way, mo-
tionless, hour after hour, with the
long white garment draped in shad-
owy folds about her, and the moon
light falling full upon her steady
eyes and placid face, she looked liks
devotee of some new order, passing
from known present to an I'M
known future with confidence if not
with joy.
The river scenery was all beautiful
by that light; parts of it were fairy
like, and it is not too much to say
that she enjoyed it at the time, and
always afterward the recollection Of
it was a pleasure unaccompanied by
any painful association. The shock
of the last disappointment had
brought her one blessed relief-she
had ceased for the time being to ex-
pect, ceased to hatter herself with
false hopes of immediate success.

as she would have done at first, that
she should overtake her husband at
Oman and have no more trouble; on
the contrary, she quieted her mind
as much as she could, so as to rest it,
that she might have the strength to
continue her journey without delay
should it be necessary. She also ar
ranged her plan of action. She found
out from M. Filippo where the coach
stopped-it was at one of the hotels;
and she meant to begin there, and If
she did not find her husband. go from
one to another until she did. Hap

very favorable impression. she some
times feared, and it was certainly
very different from the one he had
been accustomed to produce, but still
she thought she should be thankful
that his madness had not taken a
quieter form, which might have en-
abled him to pass everywhere unob-
served, and so made it impossible for
her to find him. 1t was gray morn
ing when she arrived at Oman She
was stiff with the long hours spent in
the night air on the deck of the
little steamer, and so weary, that all
though she did what she had set her
self to do, she did it mechanically,
and without the slightest anxiety as

who had come out of her own room

the good natured woman exclaimed,
throwing up her hands. "He came.
He was going to stay forever! And
behold him, Pinstant meme, de-
parted by the voitule publique for
Oman. Did he not expect madame z"
"No," Gertrude answered without
any show of emotion, 1t sounds al
most absurd to put it so, but the
greatness of this last and most unex-
pected disappointment made her feel
it at the moment less than any of the
others. "He has been in Guernsey,
and came over from Southampton,
so we missed each other. But sup
pose l can get carriage and follow
him?"
Impossible" the good Nine Fill
ippo told her. Even if the horses
for hire were not so miserable, the
drivers were perfect brigands, and it
would not be safe for a young lady
alone"
Just then M. Filippo arrived on
the scene, in white clothing and a
paper hat, which he dotted with af-
fectionate Difference to his guest and
the circumstances were explained to
him.
For few seconds he lent his mas
culine mind to the problem, with an
air of perplexity.

Nine. Filippo suggested; perhaps it
would suit her better to rest here for
the night?"
Il should like it," Gertrude said,
feeling worn to death, and quite at
home with these honest people, who
were certainly doing all they could
for her without reference to their
own profit, "but / must rejoin my

later, M. Filippo, having cooked the
most appetizing little dinner in the
world for her, escorted her to St.
Malo, and saw her safely off on the
steamer on her way up the Rance
to Oman.
