But the eight of hint recalled ell her
misery and degradation, end In a tremu
loua roloe she cried: "Yoa have been to
Louisiana! Why did you not tell me
before she came? Ah, it is all over now,
and there is nothing left me but to die!"
"Kylphide!" he exclaimed, advancing
towards her; but she waved him back.
"Oh, Lucian," she walled; "she wishes
to generate us you and me. Oh, my
head reels at the thought. This is more
than I can bear!"
She flung herself upon the sofa, dry
sobs rending her bosom with cruel vio
lence. Courtlandt went to her and
strove to raise her.
"Svlphide," he cried, plteously, "Syl-
phide! Listen to me! Suffer me to ex
plain!"
"Have vou not been to Louisiana?"
"Yes."
"Well, what did you learn?"
"Svlphide "
"Oh, you may speak the truth! Your
mother has forestalled you. Am I a
slave?"
"Yes your mother was a slave."
To his surprise, fhe rose calmly and
laid her hand upon his arm.
"I have refused to separate from you.
Will you condemn me as she does? Do
you believe I do not love your
"No. but I know my mother; habitu
ted to being obeyed in all things; she
will hare her way. There will be a ter
rible struggle." .
"You will resist her swear to me that
xnn will."
"But our child what will become of
him? Oh, Sylphide, I fear the devotion
Is on my mother's side; the selfishness on
ours."
"Enough! I see through this subter
fuge! You know the woman you are
to marry speak, who is she?"
"Sylphide. will you believe me when
I tell you that I do not know ? As God
is mv judce. I do not know. She broach
ed the subject the moment she learned
the result of my journey to Louisiana,
"And you agreed to it?"
"You are mistaken. I left her ab
ruptly and came to you. In that first mo
ment I could not and would not listen
to her."
"But now now you have changed
your mind," she exclaimed bitterly. "Oh,
Lucian. she cried, flinging her arms
about his neck, "how can I part with
you? how see you married to another
for all eternity V
"Some marriages are not for all eter
nity r
The words were uttered by a third
voice. Sylphide turned with a start of
surprfne, to nod a man whom sne bad
never before sceo, a complete stranger
to her, standing within six feet of her.
Is frightful! I will hear no more!"
With never a glance at the excited
man, Greshani fixed his searching eyes
upon Sylphide.
"Speak, madam, he said; "what think
uT
"That it is frightful, as Lucian says,"
faltered Sylphide, "ami yet yet perhaps
we ought not to dismiss the idea too sud
denly. Oh, thiuk, Lucian, this is not so
much a marriage as an opportunity of
righting our child in the world's eye!"
'I repeat, doctor, rejoined Courtlandt,
resolutely, "that I find your proposition
horrible, and I am astonished that you
a man so good, so noble, so geuerous
CHAPTER IX.
The momentary pause of amasement
was broken by Courtlandt. Loosening
SylpbJde's arm from about his neck,
he advanced with outstretched band.
"Dr. Gresham!" he exclaimed with a
puzzled hair, "what brings you here?
You come from my mother?'
"Yea."
"Then you do not come here as a friend
to us," with a glance at Sylphide.
"On the contrary." was the quiet re
ply, "I came as a friend to both sides."
And turning to Sylphide, he added, "I
trust, madam, yoa will pardon my enter
ing your apartments unannounced, but
I feared that bad I sent op my came,
you would refuse to receive me, and the
object of my visit is of the utmost ira
portanr at this moment."
As he resaed speaking. Courtlsndt
promptly hrtrodacM the slender, keen
Pardon me one moment, Lucian," in
terrupted Greehaui; "were I to tell you
that within easy walking distance of this
house there dwells a family upon the
verge of starvation, a woman and her
daughter slowly dying of poverty and
disease, would you not haud me your
purse and request me to give it to them?
And if I should add that the father and
husband of this family bears an unblem
ished name, as high in the social wale
aa your own "
I should triple the sum.
You would have to increase it an hun
dred fold, my dear boy," said the doctor,
as he rose and set back his chair, "before
I would undertake to offer it. Can you
not see that by marrying the young girl
yon would at once secure her comfort
during her declining days and a compe
tency for her parents in exchange for the
name which it lies in her power to give
your son?
Lucian stood in the center of the room,
with his hands pressed tightly upon his
throbbing temples; and when he did not
answer, Sylphide arose and crept to his
side.
"Lucian," she murmured, "by aiding
them you secure your mother's happi
ness, and and mine, perhaps." Then
turning to Greshani, she added, quickly,
"Doctor, be consents!"
"No, no, no wait!" cried the half des
perate man. With the headlong haste of
one who fears his chance may escape
him, Gresham said:
All that remains now is to know
whether they will consent. I can sound
them easily enough upoo the subject if
you give me leave."
Absolutely handing her husband his
hst and leading him to the door, Syl
phide exclaimed with forced eagerness:
"Hurry, Lucian! Go, go and make
your peace with your mother. Tell her
that you have convinced me that I must
give you up. Say whstever yon wish.
Then, u Lucian Courtlandt returned
reluctantly to the. table for the gloves
which In her harte she hid forgotten,
Sylphide breathed in Greaham's ear:
"Doctor, are you sure, very sure?"
"Perfectly sure," replied the doctor
' genial rays. The place was scrupulously
neat, but painfully bare of those necessi
ties which render life comfortable and
worth the living. Before the small stove
knelt a pale, brave-faced woman, labori
ously coaxing a few chips and billets of
wood into a blase!
This woman was Martha Dunn, the
hng-sunerlug and faithful servant of
the Burgess family. She had Kved with
them through their time of affluence, and
now In the season of their adversity she
had not deserted them. Brave Martha
Dunn! Your heroism, like that of so
many others, Is none the loss noble
; though rt has never been cried in the
; world's ears.
I This morning there were tears in the
! woman's eyes, tears in her voice as she
murmured
This is the last of our wood, and
there is only a handful of coal left)
Heaven only knows what we shall do to
morrow !"
At this moment a quick step in the
outer hall arrested her attention, and ris
ing hastily she threw open the door. A
lad from a neighboring bakery with a
well-tilled bssket upon his arm stood
upon the landing of the stairs.
"Step In here a moment, please," said
the woman; and when the boy hesitated
to comply with her request, she added
"I will not keep you; come In.
The boy stepped into the kitchen with
evident reluctance and closed the door.
"Well," Martha said, "do you bring us
no bread this morning?" i
"Sorry, inarm, but your credit is dead,
and the master said as how 1 wasu't to
leave any more bread. There's your bill,
if you want it," and taking from his
pocket the dreaded reckoning, he laid it
upon the table.
"Your master knows that he will loee
nothing by us!" exclaimed the woman,
indignantly; "Mr. Burgess will pay ev
erybody some day or other. You can
certainly extend our credit for a morsel
of bread."
You needn't blame me!" retorted the
boy; "I haven't wasted your money. But
the old man has! Shame on him, I say,
for his gambling and hanging round bar
room day and night."
It is not true!" cried Martha, a con
scious flush mounting her pallid cheeks.
"I ey it is!" answered the boy; "don't
