MISS MILNE AND I. f
When I reached the Coniuierclal
Hotel, at my request I waa instantly
shown into the private sitting; room
that had been taken (or our interview
by Colonel Pelham. When I entered I
found the gaunt, military-looking oid
gentleman looking more gaunt and
tnllitaiy than ever, and pacing the
room with hid arms folded across his
breast. He made the suehtest bow,
which I returned, and took my stand at
the ureplace. Ha continued his walk
in silence until he had reached the
other end of the room, then, swinging
suddenly round, in firm, slow tones he
- said: h
"At our last interview. Doctor Rigby,
you told me that you had done nothing
that could be called dishonorable."
"Nor have I, sir." I replied, em
phatically.
"Nothing to place yourself within
the reach of the law the -criminal
law?"
"A man may place himself within
reach of the law without acting dis
honorably, sir.
. "And may he, by your code, under
a- -those circumstances, continue an en
gagement that will end by placing in a
like terrible position a young girl upon
whom no harsh wind has ever blown
and still be honorable?"
"My God! my God!" I groaned, as I
dropped into the chair beside me ana
covered my face witn my hands. "Is
there no road of escape, no hope for
me!"
"As far as your engagement with my
daughter goes, it Is my duty to tell
you there is none. Doctor Rigby.
"Colonel Pelham, do you know what
you are doing? This woman do you
believe her word In preference to
mine?"
"You have admitted being within
reach of the criminal law, and this
woman has sworn that the day you
.marry my daughter shall be your last
of liberty and my daughter's last of
hsDDlness. Under tbese circum
stances, Doctor Rigby, I ask you. am
I JuBtifled in allowing your engage
ment to continue?"
I sprang to my feet
"But Colonel Pelham, you are a gen
tleman, you are a man ot honor, wiu
you not allow me to-tell you my story
of this woman and ner villainies;
"I will reply to your questions. Doc
tor Rigby, If you will first answer one
of mine, namely: Mai mis woman mis
hold over you? Could she. If it so
pleased her, deprive you of your lib
erty and mv daughter. If she were
married to you, of her happiness V
In moment I saw what waa ex
pected of me. By a yes or no for
that was the kind of reply he looked
for I was to pass sentence on myself.
And yet no such reply was possible.
The man standing there my Judge
the man in whose hands my fate
. rested, was a soldier, a man of action
and my story was a matter of detail.
The answer could not possibly convey
any Idea of the nature of the case to
him, and yet such was the answer he
expected, and I knew he would admit
no other.
"Colonel Pelham." I said, "when you
ask me if this woman has or baa not
the hold over me she professes to
have, I can only tepiy Dy if yne eyei
sue nas, ana sue u- - -
01 uoa. .tigby. I must remind you
iiisC I have asked you a plain, straight
forward question, to which I require
you to give a plain, straightforward
answer. This interview, which must
ot necessity be painful to both of us,
has already lasted too long. It can
only be bhortened by you giving me
such an answer as 1 asked for. I re
peat this question: Ha-j this woman
nr ha. aha nnt this hnlff nvp vnn?"
in iittou ". groaned:
"She nas. but but "
"Doctor Rigby," said Colonel Pel
ham, taking up his hat, "no number of
'buts' will alter matters. Somehow, in
mj heart I believe and feel that you
have been made the victim of this
woman. You will believe me, I am
extremely sorry for you. My inter
view with "her this morning showed
me a phase of female character which
I with my somewhat wide experience
of the sex, was utterly Ignorant of, but
my pity and sorrow for you do not al
ter facts. I should be unworthy of my
position, as Edith's father, If I allowed
her to follow her woman's instincts
and share your calamity."
"Edith, Edith!" for it was she,
"what are you doing here? This Is no
time or place for you; you must leave
us at once.
"I came," she said, "because I know
you saw that dreadful woman this
morning, and when Allan did not
come, and you had gone to meet the
train, I was certain some dreadful
thing had happened."
"Well, well," said the old gentleman,
hurriedly, lest I should speak first
Home dreadful thing has happened,
but I will tell you all about it present
ly. For the present you must leave
us." He had walked across the room
and taken her gently by the arm, that
no mtgnt lead her to the door.
' In a moment the old soldier's blood
awoke In the daughter. She quietly
disengaged herself and as quietly
HBKea: jim i men to nave no voice
in tne deciding of my own fate?"
"Bditn, you win not, you can not
wish to stay here. Leave the matter
in my nands; l know more about It
than you do, and am therefore more
capable of deciding what is best for
you ror you Doth."
v "Allan, does my father know the de
tails or tms trouble?"
"He does not, Edith, nor will he al
low me to tell him; he insists on my
u' on me engagement without
seeing or writing to you, and that I
uave uociinea 10 do.
"If that is so. father, von hav. nnt
the advantage over me that you Iro-
biuu. i uo anow every detail of this
trouble."
"You, Edith!" Then turning to me
In a towering passion: "Do I under
stand, sir, that you have so far for
gotten child "
"Allan has in no way forgotten him
self; he has behaved as a gentleman,
as you yourself would have behaved,
had you been placed in his position."
Then turning to me she cried:
"Allan! Allan! do vou want m
i ... - . - - ,
"Edith, how can you ask such
question?" . .
"Father, I loved him when he was
not in trouble. Should I be a wo
man, snould I be your daughter, if I
aia not love mm now that he Is? No,
no!" she exclaimed, "I am a Pelham,
and no coward. I will not forsake
you now, my darling!"
And In ner agony she threw herself
upon my neck and sobbed alond.
It became now evident to the colonel
thnf things were going against him,
ait to hattlly decided upon making a
retreat He walked to the bell, rang
It and stood looking from the window
with his back to us as he waited for
the servant to reply. When we heard
hia steps upon the stairs, we unlocked
each other from an embrace made
mad and desperate by the thought of
separation.
When the door obened. and the ser
vant asked: "Did you ring, slrT the
old colonel turned toward him, and
said, "Yes, will you order my carriage
at once?"
"It Is at the door, sir," said the
man, and left us.
"Come, Edith, this interview can
now be productive of nothing but mis
ery; therefore, the sooner It Is closed
the better. Will you wish Doctor Kig-
by good-bye and come wth me?"
Good-byes, when lovers are parting,
are always better left unsaid, so Edith
and I held; and now when for all we
knew. It might possibly be our last, she
true to her faith, put out her hand
and without word left me.
The colonel lingered a .moment, and
then, turning to me. said:: "You have
nov. behaved with the self-sacrifice
had a right to expect of you," and fol
lowed her down the stairs.
With the last sound of their Bteps
upon the stalls I closed the door, and
In a desperate effort to collect my
thoughts paced the room.
I rang the bell and asked about the
next train to town. I found I had just
time to catch It and, hastening to the
station. I took my seat in an empty
carriage, that I might nurse my trou
ble without interference.

CHAPTER IX
When I reached home I found that
nothing of importance had happened
in fact my practice was suffering from
a want of that energy and continuous
effort that had gone to the building up
of it. About half-past nine that even
ing I was sitting alone and miserable
In the dining room, when that good
old soul, my housekeeper, came In
with a cup of coffee for me. She had
noticed the troubled expression that
hud of late constantly worn, and in
vague sort of way connected it with
Miss Milne. She felt there was
trouble in the wind, and her sorrow at
leaving me was forthwith turned Into
anxiety to serve me.
"You are not looking well to-night
doctor," she said, as she placed my
coffee on a little table at my side.
No, Ann, no; I am finding that the
course of true love does not run
smoothly."
But I thought it never did, sir.
So proverbs say, but proverbs are,
you know, probably untrue. Ann. By
the way you have not seen Miss Milne
tonight have you?
Yes, sir; I saw her call at Doctor
Stokes' opposite, and the baker tells
me her little boy is III."
"Indeed! Seriously ill?"
"I'm afraid so. The baker said that
the doctor was going to call again
late."
"Dear me, I am sorry."
"I ain't that is, not for her, doctor;
m sorry for the child."
"Why, I thought you wr-
v..
. . '. was at one time, and you don't
know, doctor, all that I have done for
that woman. I have asked her, night
aner nignt, to tell me her troubles
and tried to make her miserable face
a bit brighter; but, somehow, she's
altered.
"She has, Ann." I said, quite glad to
nnu the good old sou Id bad discerned
the alteration, and half inclined to tell
her a little about the woman, for of
all my friends there was not one more
trustworthy, and she might possibly
be of help to me; but I decided not to
dn . -v- -amn, not at present, ana
let her go back to the kitchen. When
she had gone I took from my desk
paper and envelopes, put in a new nib
and adjusted the table and chair in I
a manner mat wouia nave told a
stranger even that some letter of
importance was about to be written
And so it was, for as an outcome of
my seir-exa.mlnation, which I had
continued from the moment I had left
Chiselhurst. I had come to the conclu
sion that my conduct had been mean,
cowardly and despicable. I was heart
ily ashamed of myself, and determined
ac all costs to do something by way of
reparation.
The colonel's behavior in the matter
now appeared to me to be natural and
reasonable, and as for Edith, I almost
forgot my love in mv intense
admiration of her self sacrifice and
trutn.
Every word the colonel had said
was true. I was a coward; I had no
right to retain my hold upon, and drag
down with me, any girl, much less a
gin line jsmtn. And so it came to pass
that I was preparing to write a letter
ox importance, or, rather, two letters
oi importance.
At twelve, after innumerable fall
ures, they were finished and in their
envelopes. I took them to my bed
room determined to post them In the
morning. Tired out, I did not follow
my usual custom to read myself tn
sieep mat nignt, but in my anxiety to
get some rest for my weary brain, put
me gas out ana lay down at nncn
Sleep, however, was out of the
uon. i mrnea rrom side to side, and
sougni oy every method I knew to win
an nour or two of blissful forgetful
ness; Dut it was useless, my whole
mind and soul had been, in one short
aay, transformed. A new heaven and
a darker one was above me. a new
earth and a sadder one beneath my
leei. At length, unable to bear it long
er, I got up and paced the room, drew
up the blind, and looked out unon the
uimiy ugnieo. silent streets.
Then I walked back to the table.
lighted my reading lamD. re-onenerl the
two letters, and read half aloud:
My Dear Colonel Pelham I did
rot behave with the self-respect that
you had a right to exnect of me. hut
perhaps, just as my faults dawned on
me, when I left you. so the dtffleiit.
ties of my position may have dawned
on you. A man does not yield up such
priceless treasure as Edith's love
without a struggle, and I thoueht 1
should have been unworthy of such a
love nao l done so; but now that I am
away from the glamour of her pres
ence, I can clearly see that my efforts
in aeep ner at all hazards were cow
ardly, as you said, and unjustifiable.
To give up the one thing that was to
me worth living for is like giving up
nan mr me, nay, more than half my
life, but I see now that there is no
other course open to me. Of the fu
ture, I, of course, know nothing, but
if It ever should come to pass that I
am a free man, to rewln your confi
dence will be the one object of my ef
forts. I will not try to see Edith
again. I have written to her by this
post, giving my reason for adontlne
this course, and with that letter I
promise you out communications shall
m I remain, very faithfully your.
"A, A. RIGBY."
1 read this letter twice, then closing
It finally, I took up my letter to Edith
and read that. I have no copy of It by
me, nor have I any memory ot the
wording of it All I know Is, that In it
I poured out as a man would, all my
heart and soul to her. I tried to tell
her what the step I had taken was
costing me, and then I said good-bye.
with the hope (a hope very customary
at auch times) that in a happier world
we might consecrate and porpetuate.
our love.
At length, very cold and tired, but
still sleepless. I went down to the
kitchen, lighted the gas stove, and
made some coffee; then collecting
writing materials In the dining room,
I went back to my bedroom to write
once more, and, perhaps the most im
portant letter of all. It was to my
good friend Mrs. Needs, the .medical
agent of King's Cross. I told her that
a great trouble had taken and over
whelmened me, and as a consequence
I had decided upon selling my prac
tice; I told her a few particulars as
to Its value, etc., and requested her
to sell it at once, even though she
could not get the full price; for within
one short hour a desperate hatred of
the place had taken hold upon me.
and although I knew that the sacrifice
must be great, it could not be avoided.
Under no circumstances now could I
continue to live in the same district
as Miss Milne; even if she left. I
could never be happy In that homo
again. And so the letter was sent
and within forty-eight hours a pur
chaser found who would be satisfied
with one month's Introduction.
After my thtrd letter was written
did get an hour or two of sleep.
but awoke in the morning unrefreshed
and heavy. I got through the day as
best I could, aw my patients per
functorily, and when evening came
put on my ulster and a slouch cap and
started for the theater, hoping some
how, amid the gayeties of the West
End, to lose some of my misery. Bnt
the effort was a useless one. When I
reached home I found the last post
had brought me a letter from Colonel
Pelham. It was kind and courteous
I.: the extreme: he told me that he
had bad thronahout too much confi
dence in my manliness ever to really
doubt my ultimately seeing the wis
dom of his advice: he said nothing as
to the future, but concluded with a
sentence which shocked me terribly;

to attempt answering yoar letter to
night; the events of the laat few days
quite unstrung her mind : but our med
ical attendant tells us that rime and
a change of surroundings will spn re

That night would have been another
sleenless one had I not. to make cer
tain of some rest, taken a considerable
dose of opium it was my first and.
last experience of the bewitching drug.
