Turning, be strode among the trees,

the-presence of a serpent that pWsoped
the atmosphere.
W hen the Captain had reached a cer

but It will be a bad thing for you. Things

To tell the honest truth, things were
getting a trifle mixed, so fa r as hie per

When Carol came face to face with her
father she paused, thanderatruck.
No wonder her eyes expressed such
great surprise, for he was holdlag her
mother In bis arms—tbs woman whom he
bad wronged so terribly ia tks past, and
between whom and himself there had
seemed to Us a chasm that was without
a bridge.
There could be no mistaking the looks
of both, for happiness was w ritten upon
their countenances, and. beamed from
their eyes-
“Carol,” said the white-haired gentle
man, his voles vibrating liks the string of
a harp, and as he »puke he held out his
arms, a* If longing to enfold bar In their
shelter; “ my child, can yon aver forgive
me for tbe wrong I have doue yon 7 I ad
vance no plea; I was craky to do at 1 did.
Can you ever look upon me as your loviAg
father again? By the memory of the
love you bore jne, by the love of this degr
woman, your mother, who has forgiven
all tbe cruel wrosgs at tbe past, 1 implore
you, my child, to have mercy upon me, to
come to my arms and forget the dread
past In contemplating the near future.”
For the first time In her life.Carol saw
her father's pride humbled, and he stood
there, with outstretched arms, -his face
showing the pleading of his heart.
She was overcome by the spectacle, snd
w ith a little cvy she rushed into his srms.
Fiercely, as might a lover, the old gentle
man strained her to his heart. She bad
beea lost to him, and was now fonnd
again H e had suffered mnrh during his
eventful life, bot It spemed to him now
that he was fast nearing the harbor of
peace.
Reconciled to these tw o -w ife and dhtld
—what had be to fear in the world f For
the time being* be forgot that Captain
Grant held a secret over his head—tbe
motive ef much of his action in gegard
to forcing Carol Into the nnion*’»he .ab
horred—and, when h< did let his mind rest
upon the subject, with that evasiveness
common to human naipre. he kept putting
the dread rseponsiMftty «way frrttn him.
hoping that In the meantime something
won!4 occnr to relieve him of this danger
altogether.
Carol was happy for the time being lg*
the conociouaneas of the fart that those
she, iovedvso well had. by th* taterpovt
tion of Providence, as it weré, become
reconciled, but abe conld not long forget
her own troubles, and her heart seemed
to sink like lead as she suddenly realised
how fat** had parted Roger and her for
ever.
She let a wan smile, such a ghost of
her former bright looks, creep over her
face when her father. In something of his
old cheery way, told her not to fret, that
he would fix all matters with Roger.
Ah! there was a time when this could
have beea dona, and all Would have been
as merry as a marriage bell; but now
she bad placed a barrier between them
as high as the Rocky Mountains, as vast
as mighty Niagara.
W hat would she not have given fo have
undone the event! of the past tew hours?
I f the heart tears could have blotted out
tbe record, surely the wept enough to
have done it. 5
H e had been so close to her, his brave
arms outstretched, and she had repulsed
him, had driven him from her with
charges that it made her cheeks burn to
even remember. W hile sKy drew breath
she'would never forget how he looked,
standing before her with h it w hite face,
from which ber.igaulting words bad driv
en every vestige of color.
t
She felt like one who had given the
death blow to the man Who loged her best
on earth, as If she had wpunded fatally
some dumb animal that still crept to her
feet In Its dying agony.
Remorse preyed upon her until she
could have cried aloud in her agony, spd
yet she suffered In stony «Hence. Wcrajifl
he be merciless w’hen be confronted ber
with the evidence of his innocence? How
his cutting, scathing words rank in her
ears;
*»
“ Some day shortly I w ill seek you to
show you the proofs of my innocence;
seek you to prove'all that I evpr claimed
to be; seek you to show that it was the
taint on my fam ily name that I feared,
not, because I had ever done anght that
could bring disgrace upon myself or the
one I loved; and, having done this, 1 will
throw your love from me like a tattered
glove, for it waa false—false!”
Terrible words!
—~
To her they were the sentence of death
declared by „the Judge upon the con
demned prisoner, and she shuddered when
recalling them.
Sadly she reflected upon it, and then,
shaking her head, realised that such a
step once taken could never be recalled.
Alt now rested w ith Roger. Would»be
forgive? Ah! had it been herself would
she not forget all when he ask«l it?
