Mrs. Ellesmere la not surprised at din

surprised at the change In Tom's man.

treme tenderness which haa characterised
It ever since June became an Inmate of
the Hall Is gone, and la replaced br a
careful and atudied politeness. Tom's
mother hopes and believes that June h
been refusing to give him any definite
hope or to discuss the subject of mar
riage. The change in Tom'a manner haa
In one way a beneficial effect on June;
It makes her angry. She feels that he
la unjust, and she resents Injustice more
than anything else In the world. She has
told him thia ahameful secret of her own
free will. He la welcome to give her up
tf he chooses, but he has no right to treat
her In a way to arouse the auaplcions of
others, June'a conscience being guilty,
she fancies that the tinprcaslon his be
havior may give la that It la he, not she,
who haa broken the tie between them.
But poor Tom haa no Idea of giving her
up; he la Buffering mortal agony aud try
lug with all hia might to conceal It.
June takea a book after dinner. She
will not bestow one look upon Tom. He

thluklng how he shall approach hla lady
love, when ahe aavea him the trouble by
turning round, laying her book down and
saying coldly:
"I have made up my mind to leave this
house to-ruurrow. Under the circum
stances it will be much the beat thing I
can do. I feel that I have already tres
passed too long upon the hospitality of
Mr. aud Mra. Kllesinere."
Miaa June, who baa auch a love of jus
tice, can be a trifle unjust herself under
the Influence of anger. June in a tem
per la quite a new spectacle to Tom; he
la positively daunted by the manner of
thai slim young girl. He springs from
uis cnair in a moment, crying:
"What do you mean, my darling?"
am not your darling," returns June.
waving him off aa ahe sees, with her
quick woman's Instinct, that she is going
to get the beat of it. "I shall never be
anything to you now. Aa for your p re-
ten rung to care for me, it waa a farce.
A farce? For a moment Tom is speech
leas, men ne cries:
"Don't talk like that! Don't be angry
with me, darling. It was sncb an awful
blow.
June'a eyea blane; tbe blood mounta to
ber cheeka.
"Why need I ever have told yon?" ahe
exclahne. "I have humbled myself in the
dust," and here she begins to cry, half
from pride, half from shame, "just be

Tom feels himself the most-utter brnte

snatches it from him; ahe turns ber back
upon him; ahe refuaea to accept the ex

she adds. But this is too much for Tom.
He approaches her with resolution, he
takes both her hands in one of his and
puts his other arm about her; she may
resist if she pleases, but it ia of no avail
against hia strength.
June does not hurt herself by stran
gling; ahe has a more potent weapon than
Tom's strength in that sharp little sword
which I'rovidence baa given her not only
to defend herself with, but to wound her
adversary.
"Of course I am no match for you if
you use violence, she Bays, coldly.
But even this taunt doea not cause Tom
to relax hia bold.
"I have never roved any woman but

steady. ily one Idea or nappiness is to
have yon for my wife; my one idea of ut

should find yon had made a mistake
that after you married me you should feel
you might have cared for some one more.

"Don't speak of him!" cried June, ve
hemently. "I hate the very sound of hia

"But If you saw him again-"
"Never! never! I despise him. Oh
Tom," and the girl loot a up in hia face
with eloqueut eyes, "you need not fear
him or any one else now. When I when
I thought I fancied him, It was because I
did not care for you. I did not know you
then, dear, dear Tom, nor how kind and
good you were. 1 may tell you frankly
I never believed I could love you then;
but now I do I do with all my heart.
Are you quite sure you love me?" he
cries, passionately.
"(Juite sure, she answers, softly.
After that there la no more talk of
doubt; indeed, there Is very little talk at
all. But yet neither of them haa ever

ing the gay crowd. On day Dallas, who
was ignorant or Ber arrival In town,
dropped In to lunch eon. It waa an em
bnrraasing moment for every one, except,
apparently for Dallas, who greeted June
with the greatest cordiality and bad evi
dently forgotten that there bad ever been
a love passage between them. June re
covered herself In a moment, and behav
ed as though she were equally oblivion
indeed, she was now so devoted to Tom
that ahe felt absolutely nothing for his
quondam rival. It was Tom who felt the
least at ease.
"Tell me, my darling," he said that
night, with extreme anxiety, "has has

June put her hand into hia, and looked
frankly into bia eyea.
"Not the very, very least," she answer
ed. "I rather wonder now what I saw in
him before. Tom," in a questioning voice,
could you love two people at once?" then
with ' a lovely, rippling smile, "I could
not."
Tom's answer need not be chronicled,
In due course the day arrived to which
the young squire hsd looked forward on
the one that must infallibly be the ban
piest of bis life only that general flutter,
turmoil, nervousueas, agitation, seechi
fying, are not generally very conducive
to bliss. Still, everything "went off beau
tifully," as tbe pbraae ia.
Mine June, aa ne kuow, was a triile
self-willed, and, iu spite of what anyone
might aay, she declined to l married in
white with a bridal wreath and veil. As
a matter of fact, she wished to go to tbe
altar In black; but she was not allowed
to offer this Insult to the god Hymen, and
therefore compromised the matter by
wearing a charming toilet of silver gray,
Aud iweetly yonng and modest and pret-
ty she looked, with a faint carnation in

mournful-looking bride?
Tbe wedding was a very quiet one. but

And if ever two yonng people "did" the

nothing was thought of it.
At 10 o clock he received a call from

mained in bed, but rose and dreamt .

CHAPTER XII.
The wedding day was fixed for the
middle of the last week lu August, and
Mrs, Bryan wrote to her aister-in-law.
Mrs. Elleaiuere, and auggested the pro
priety of Inviting June to go to her in
London for the purpose of selecting her
trousseau.
Mrs. Ellesmere waa extremely annoyed
Dy the suggestion, but, after mature de
liberation, ahe came to the conclusion that
It waa useless to tight against fate, and
that the only thing to be doue now was
to make friends with June in order that
the Hall might still be open to her when
she choae to go there after the nmrriuire.
So, very much against the grain, ahe indit
ed a charming letter to her future daugh
ter-in-law, begging her to come to her,
aud promising that she ahould not be
drawn into any aort of gayety that would
be repugnant to her feclinga.
Tom, not being in the secret of Mra.
Bryau'a letter, was delighted with this
proof of kindness from hia mother, and
wrote her a very grateful epistle, over
which she made a wry face. Still, It was
aa well to have earned his gratitude, as it
lay in hia power to do a great deal for
her if lie were so minded.
June waa ten days lu London, and found
them pass very agreeably, though she
lived a quiet life enough. But the fact
of seeing so many people, of being in the
throng and bustle of a town, waa sulH-
clently exciting after the country. Mrs.
Ellesmere went out nearly every night,
nd Tom and June were life tete-a-tete to
their mutual satisfaction. June would
not hear of going to the play or even to
the opera. She consented, however, to
