1 An Interrupted I I Bevenge $ $ S3 he first time she Lad Iai'd eyes i since the night she hat! jilted By JOHN GASTON Copyrillt, KOI, by Authors Syndicate.) & ff,TlTHO IS the distinguished look YY ing man who came in then with Mr. Campbell?" The person to whom the question was addressed planced across the re cepfion hall and replied: "Eobert Gordon. He is the fellow about whom the newspapers are saying- so much the lobbyist from New York who has succeeded in getting-the Consolidated Telephone ordinances through the council. Handsome, isn't he?" "Bemarkably so. . Still, on a closer view his expression is not entirely pleasant, and I should Fay that he bears marks of dissipation not gross ly, but there is something that sug gests wine, women and song at unholy hours or air, I mistaken? Is that pallor natural'.'" A woman standing near bent a keen glance at the man as his came was mentioned, and the slightest sugges tion of a flush appeared or; her cheeks. It was on mm since tne nig iiim for Frederick Ma i khani. That was 19 years ago. 'I hey were both young about IS and had been sweethearts from childhood. lie was still " in col lege, a briiliant boy and a career pre dicted for him. Hat the career was a long ways oil' and Gordon had little nether than expectations. Frederick. Markharn was rich and well-connected and ten years her senior, .ile one red her all the tmegs so;dear to the girl just budding into so ciety, and shf had accepted him and thrown Gordon over. She had not an ticipated suei? a scene, however, as fol lowed when she told him that she was to marry jVijirfctam. He. accused her bitterly of hearliessness and of delib erately leading him on for ihe sake of amusement. He swore that she had ruined his lif? and for the wreck that "wr-ald follow she was responsible by ewiry law of God and of man. He told feer that he would never again believe j. the sincerity of a human creature. He would live, he declared, solely to gratify his senses, and he wished her much joy in the sale she had made of herseSf. It was the speech of a hot nea3cd, high-spirited, disappointed boy. It all came up before her this nigftit many years later with startling viwaSness as she looked at him across toe reception hall. Ax-d it had eventuated much as he bad predicted. He had finished his col lege course and studied law, while pranking into extreme dissipations. SEs reat natural abilities had carried Mm through and he had settled in New York, where, instead of devoting him selJ to Lis profession, he had used hia Sbrilliai.it ;ualKies to forward all sorts jf questionable schemes. Ke had be come a very successful lobbyist. He h.sd never visited the home city ssSnce his interview with the woman until this time, when he had come to Jorce through the city council the most audacious and notorious measure that Jiad ever been attempted in the city. And he had succeeded and it was whis pered tlia.' lie had secured a small for tune for his work. She was surprised at the great ihange in Ihe man, and still more sur prised at the unchanged resemblance to the irrenvious, enthusiastic youth ehe had known. He looked scareely older, excepting for the prematurely gray hair.' a'ihough' the, face had lost its ryautf"?gs and the cheeks were White v.-Mj pallor. While all this flashed through her mind Robert Or.rdon and Mr. Campbell were surrounded by a merry party of n trentlemen, to whom the - - ; being presented.

She resented it passionately, and the result was that a feV days later Robert Gordon formally proposed to Markharn for the hand of his daugh ter. In reply to the indignant re fusal of the father Gordon coolly in formed him that he already had the consent of the girl and proposed to marry her in any event with the parental consent if possible, without it if necessary. Clare when consult ed cast her lot with Gordon. 'iCll revelations concerning Gordon's ca reer and record were without avail. Then the mother in desperation went to Gordon's apartments at the Royal and made a pathetic appeal to him. "There can be no happiness in such a match," she said. "When she awak ens to the realities she will be heart broken as you well know. There 5a no happiness in such a marriage cither for her or for you. I do not know what you are after. I will noif insult you by intimating that you seek her money. If you do it shall be yours without a marriage. In any event I conjure you by a mother s love; by the memory'of the old times when we were friends more than friends, do not destroy my daugh ters life. Rising from his chair where he had sat nonchalant and unconcerned dur ing the interview, Gordon advanced directjy in front of the excited wom an who stood with clasped hands and flushed face pouring out her heart, and said in a voice hoarse with emotion: "It has been my dream for 10 years to see you in front of me pleading for something dear to your heart; I never dared to hope the dream would come true certainly not in the manner it has. Let me tell you, I will give you your heart's de sire just as you gave me mine" 19 years ago. You chose deliberate ly to ruin my life. You were merci less even scornful. What I am, I am as a result of your heartlessness. What I am not is the result of your faithlessness. All th reasons that make me in your estimation an unfit husband for your daughter are the result of your ambition and your ad vice. I was not a man of had in stincts in the old days, I was not void of ambition. All this you delib erately killed. You sapped all the good out of my nature and threw me aside, a mere husk. Now you ap peal to the moral nature you ' de stroyed. I never dreamed of so per fect a revenge until I saw the girl your very second self, and then I saw the way to make you suffer even as I have suffered. And you must suffer to the end. I will not spare you. Go and tell the girl what I have said and that I am your old lover, if j'ou please. She will not believe it and I will deny it. It is your turn to walk the floor now. I have done it for 19 years. Oh, I will lead your proud and sensitive ,girl a pretty dance, I promise you," ' He caught her as she; fainted, aridl after applying restoratives showed her to her carriage. The wedding was a swell affair and the newly-wedded pair went abroad for a honeymoon tour. . """ It was ten months later at Venice, when . the crisis .came. They had lingered there for five weeks enjoying the soft languor of the Italian skies. The months had been a revelation to Gordon. Never had he supposed earth held such joy as he had found in the golden weeks that had slipped by since his marriage. As he penetrated further and further into the nature of the woman- who had married him despite Warning "and evil report, he sounded, depths of tenderness that he never expected had existed.-' Far from carrying out his threat and in tention to 'break her heart, he be came, inspired day by day with the deepest reverence for hert This soft evening in Venice the climax came. He... crossed over to where his wife sat and said: "Clare, I have a confession to make. I cannot go on in this way with a lie in my heart. I did not marry you with a clean soul and fromi a pure love. All they have said about me is true. Your mother knew me better-than any living person, and she told, you the truth. Since I have known you as wife I have come to learn somewhat of your real worth, and' "a great loathing of myself has taken possession of me until life seems only tolerable on the condition that I cease to act a lie and that you know me as I am. Forgive me? I was cruelly hurt by a woman once and I charged it to all womankind. I will make any amends you say. I will leave . you if you will it any thing, anything, no matter how hard so I stand at least honest in your sight." With a broken sob he sank on one knee and buried his face in hia hands. In an instant she was beside him with both arms about hia neck. "I knew you better than you knew, yourself," she whispered.
