Kllesuiere joined ber, and the tirat pair were left to each other. Naturally enough, the conversation turned on the coming campaign, atij Jnue. who was al ways trying to get comfort i. ,ub-jiH-t. aatied Mr. rMriake hia opinion of the chnucea of hghting. June tried to draw consolation from Mr. Carsiakc. He did not think it would be a very serious affair: he was not impress ed with a belief in the fightinj. qualitie of the Kgyptinns; a change of masters would make very little difference to them; they would still he oppressed under any rule. The climate waa tlm worst part of it, though the Iledouiua and the Nile might seriously impede our operations. Then Mr. Cat-slake, not looking at Lady Nevil, but trying to make bis voice in different, said: "I suppose Miss Kllesmerc feels Broke's ing very much?" In a moment his meaning dawned on June, and she saw that a golden oppor tunity was la-fore her. "I do not think so." she answered. "Not nearly so much as my aunt and I. She only thinks of the brilliant side of war, and not of .of the danger." "She will feel it more w hen he is gone, no doubt," said Mr. t'arslake, tracing a pattern in the gravel w ith his stick. "1 do not 'kiiow," replied June. "Peo ple never thiuk anything is likely to hap pen to their friends unless it is a matter of vitally alisorhiug Interest to them," "But I thought such was the case." "Certainly not," exclnimod I-ndy Nevil, with great animation. "There is nothing of any sort or kind between Mndge and Mr. Broke, except the most ordinary friendship," "Oh!" and Mr. ("arslake looked up at her. "I was told that if not actually en gaged they were next door to it." June felt that her opportunity had come. "What do not people say?" she remark ed. "Do you believe every report you hear?" "Only when It ia borne out by appear ances." "You are quite mistaken," said Lady Nevil. "Madge has never been In love but once In her life, and then ao seriously that I think it will quite prevent ber ever caring much Sir anyone else." "Tell me frankly," said Mr. Cat-slake, "are you speaking of me? I should not venture to ask, uuless " "Yes, I am," replied June, with equal frankness. "And aud do you really believe she la not indifferent to tne?" "I aia quite sure that you are the only mutt for whom she has ever cared seri ously." To Mr. Carslake's infinite chagrin, Dal las came' up at this moment. But June felt that enough had been said, aud that Madge's future, at all events, was safe. Dallas saw June and Mndge off by the train next day; he took cordial leave of the latter, aud ahe wished him a gay fare well, and bade him bring her hack the scnls of numerous Egyptians aud return covered with glory. "I shall see you again," he said to June aa the train was starting, keeping a long hold of her hand and for once not at tempting to prevent his eyes from betray ing to her all he ftjlt. Aa for June, site was deathly pale; her Una were quiver ing; there was a look almost of agony in her face. The whistle sounded, the train moved off, their eyes were fixed In one long, Inst giue, and then they were parted. June leaned back In the carriage and closed her eyes. Madge made some gny remark, but her cousin did not answer, and Mndge took the hint and left her alone. Her own pleasant thoughts were company enough for her; the misunder standing hetwecn her and Mr. Carslake was at au end, and hs bad asked her to marry him. The time waa drawing on, and June had not yet found courage to tell her hua baud ot her Intended visit to London; ahe felt inatinrtireir Uiat he would not lie pleoae.l. And, whatcTar hannened. ah could not, no ahe could not, ie ut that cheriahed idea. She muat at Dallas once more. One morning, fonr daya before the an nonnced departure of tiie Cuarda, ahe said to Tom, aa he waa about to leave the lireukfaat room "I am Koine; up on Saturday to atay iho niirnta wim aira.

Her heart was like lead within her In-cant; she knew she should ueven, tee him again. She tried to smile and talk, but w hen she opened ber a choking sensation rose In her throat and Mrs. Trevanion made superhuman ef forts to talk brightly; she would not allow herself to dwell on facts, hut insisted on putting the most cheerful face on the ex pedition and on making the very beat of everything. It waa quite likely the whole thing would be over before they got out, she said; but 1 'alias indignantly protested against the idea of their being made fools Of fur tiOtnittg.

His sword belt bad arrived just aa be was starting for dinner, ao he had brought it with him to try on. And. with the help uf his hostess, he proceeded to eqmp himself in it, while June. Icy cold. with burning cheeks, sat looking an. Dal las, however, seemed pleaaurably excited. He drew bis sword from the scabbard and. flourishing it lu the air, wondered laughingly huw many Egyptians he should slay with It. Then June shut her eyes, and a horrid picture came across her imagination. She saw him, atill grasping his sword, but falling, staggering under his death wound, his now smiling face convulsed with agony. Oh, it was noth ing short of murder to send out a boy like mat: Ana in wnat a cause: Overwhelm ed with agony, a great sob rose in her throat a sob that would not tie stifled; and then, 8truck with sudden horror at having thus betrayed herself, she rose and Hill from the room. Dallas stopped short, as if paralysed; tne color leu nis cneegs, and he stood staring at Mrs. Trevanion. who affected not to notice what had happened, aud went on arranging the belt. But Dallas put one hand on her arm and said, lu a voice stammering with emo tion: "Do you really think she cares about my going?" "Do we not all care?" returned Mrs. Trevaulon, evasively. "Yea, but I wish I had known before!" uttered Dallas, leaning against the chim ney piece and putting one hand over his eyes. "Why do yoo w ish you had known be fore';" said Mrs. Trevanion, reproachfully. "Would you like to go away nursing a dishonorable passion in your heart? Do you thiuk It would be any comfort to you, supiHising," and her voice faltered "sup posing you had to look death in the face, to remember that you had brought uuhap pluess aud doubt into the home of an hon est man a man whose peace of mind you hnve every right to respect? And, be sides, you are wrong in attaching any im portance to Lady Nevil's agitation. She is very sousitive; she has seen a great deal of you lately; even if she had only the most cousinly liking for yon, she might well feel upset to-night. Do you sup pose," the teara standing In her eyes, "that I do not feel bad about your go ing?" "Heaven bless yoo, my dear, I know you do. But but," opening hia blue eyes rather widely at her, "you you don't think I sha'n't come back?" "No, no," cried his friend. "I am quite sure you will. But I should like to think you went out with a free heart and a clear conscience." Then there was a long pause, broken at last by Dallas. "Do you thiuk," he uttered very wist fully, with an imploring glance, "that I might see her fur one moment alone be fore 1 go, just to wish her good-by?" "No, no, no!" answered Mra. Trevau lon, with the utmost resolution. "Not for anything in the world; not for both your sakea. You know there is nothing I would not do for you. But not that." When the wheela had rolled away, the two ladles sat down and wept greviously. And theirs were not the only hearts that ached that night. CHAPTER XXV. Tom received his wife with extreme coldness oa her return. He scarcely spoke during dinner, and, when it was over, want away to his own room. He did not mention Dallas' aame, or make any Inquiry about his departure. June was perfectly conscious of these signs o displeasure, but a sort of apathy had stolen over ber; It seemed as if nothing mattered very much. In a few days, per- haps, she would feel differently, and then she would set to work to propitiate her husband. In reality Tom felt himself deeply ag. " grieved. It took a long time to get Idea into his head, but once It was there. a atill longer time waa needed to dislodge it. Why ahould June have wanted to go to London to bid Dallas good by again nnleaa ahe took a much greater interest In biin than she had any right to? A for him, of course, he had been at b infernal tricks again; and Tom ground hi. teeth. Ob, how mistaken, bow mistaken be had been In June. Well, he must put np with it now, he supposed; anyhow, the boy was left to him, and they two would be all In all to each other, please God! There would be no one to come between them for the next twenty yean, or so, at all eventa. Day followed day, and atill that apathy waa in June's veins. She who waa wool to be so active sat listless and idle and took scant interest in anything. At last the papers recorded the arrival of the Uuards at Alexandria, and, after that, June looked every day eagerly for newa. She was not, as a rule, given to reading the papers, but now, the moment they came, ahe seised upon them eagerly, This also Tom remarked with displeasure. Her husband's altered demeanor was by no means loat on June; she began to feel that their estrangement waa a serious things . Agnes, who came occasionslly to the Hall, had every opportunity of seeing the estrangement between husband and wife Indeed, June took special occasion to be captioua and frigid to Tom in the presence of that sainted creature. When Madge returned from a visit she had paid to Mr. Carslake's sister she ex perienced a of consternation at see ing the state of affairs. "Juny, darling," ahe exclaimed, "what on earth ia the matter with yon and Tom? This sort of thing will never do. Yoo are more like two strange cats than the two devoted people yon used to be." "Oh," returned June, bitterly, "that the way with married people. Yon and yonr Mr. Carslake will be just the same in a few yeara' time. "Never!" cried Madge, with immense emphasis. "He will tire of yoo, aaid June. I don't believe men have any affection. At all eventa. It doea not last." "Juny," uttered Madge, wistfully, "do you know, I don't think It can be all Tom's fault? I think yea must have done something to change him. "What have I done?" flashed out June. "You will be angry, I'm afraid, if I tell you what I thiuk," aaid Madge, slightly embarrassed. June looked at her expectantly. "I think," faltered Madge. "I know it is absurd, but I do thiuk Tom is jealous of Dallas." Then Lady Nevil fulfilled Madge'a pre diction by evincing great anger at sucb an utterly ridiculous and unwarrantable ler'ion. and Madge waa compelled to eai r werua anu ej.pie uw t,uicai wu trition for having suggested anything so impossibly and wickedly absurd. Madge was so extremely happy herself about thia time that she had little or no leisure In which to occupy heraelf with her cousin's concerns. Mr. Larsiaice was at tne rec tory, and was to spend a week at the Hall later. The marrioge was fixed for the middle of September. Sir Thomas and Lady Nevil were to go to their place hi the North the second week in October. There had been no visitors st the UslI this sum mer. June had felt scant inclination to play the part of hostess, and Tom waa never very keen about having guests In the house. Mrs. tiles me re was at Horn- bur g. and had been there ever since they gave up the house in Grosvenor street. Mrs. Trevanion was tne only person who had been bidden. She, however, had oth er engagements, but promised to come for Madge's wedding and to stay a fortnight after it. To this visit June looked for ward amazingly. Meantime, things went on much in the same way. Agnea, indeed, took advan tage of June'a apparent indifference to come more frequently to the Uall, and. n one way or another, managed to see a good deal of Tom and to man if eta a great deal of sympathy for mm. tie did not actually complain of his wife, but It was any to ace he was a disappointed man. and Agues was able to say a great many words in season. Madge was far too much occupied with her own affairs to continue her system of espionage over her sister, and June had grown not to care only to feel a sort of contemptuous indifference. "If tt amuses them to be together and to abuse me, let them! YA hat does it matter?"
