Morri'ii on their way to the IIIkIiIiiihIh:
ninl wore iit-customed to muut the ih'IkIi
hors of the Millers at dinner on their nr
rlvnl. The time for this yearly fcstlvnl
luiil now come round iikiiIii; the guests
were In the house: ninl Mr. nnil Mrs. Mn
ley were occupied In iiinkltiK their ar
rnnKciuentH for the dinner party.
.Sydney's tutltntloii at the prospect of
tneelliiK the laitle.i In the drawing room
added a cliarin of its own to the Hush on
her faee. Shvl.v following. liiHtead of
lending her little companion Into the room,
she presented Hitch a charming appear
mi ie of youth and lieauty that the Indies
paused In their talk to look at her. Some
few admired Kltty'H governess with gen
eroiiH Interest! the greater nuinher doubt
cil Mrs. Miller's prudence In engaging a
girl n very pretty and ho very young.
When the gentlemen came in from the
dinner tahle, .Sydney wns composed
enough to admire the brilliant Hcetie, and
to wonder again, oh she had wondered al
ready, what .Mr. I.lnley would Hiiy to her
new dress.
He looked nt her with u mouienlary fer
vor of Interest and admiration which
made Sydney gratefully and guiltlessly at
tached to him, tremlile with pleasure; he
even stepped forward iih If to approach
her, checked himself, and went hack ugnlu
mining his guests. The one neglected per
Hon whom he never even looked at again,
was the poijr Klrl to whom Ills approval
wiih the hicath of her life.
Friendly .Mrs. MncIMwIn touched her
arm. ".My dear, you are losing your pret
ty color. Are you overcome by the heat?
Shall 1 take you into the next room?"
Sydney expressed her sincere sense of
the lady's kindness. Her commonplace
excuse was a true excuse she had a head
ache; and she asked leave to retire to her
rooiu.
AppionchliiK the door, there she found
herself face to face with Mr. Muley. lie
had Just heeu giving directions to one of
the servants, and was re-entering the
drawing room, She stopped, t remitting and
cold; hut, In the very Intensity of her
wretchedness, she found courage enough
to speak to hlm.
"You seem to avoid me, Mr. Muley."
she liegnn, spenkliiK with an air of formal
respect, and keeping her eyes on the
ground. 'I hope " she hesitated, and
desperately looked at him "I hope I
haven't jliiiie nnythlng to offend youV"
In her knowledge, of hlm, up to that
miserable Weiring, he constantly spoke to
her with a hiiiIIc. She had never yet seen
hlm so serious and so Inattentive as he
wns now. Ills eyes, wandering round the
room, rested on Mrs. I.lnley brilliant and
beautiful, and laughing gnyly. Why was
he looking at his wife with plain signs of
embarrassment In Ills face' Sydney plte
onsly persisted in repenting her Innocent
question: "I hope I haven't done anything
to olTeiid you "
"My dear child, It Is Impossible that you
Hhould offend me; you have misunderstood
and mistaken inc. Don't suppose pray
don't Htippose that I am changed or can
ver be changed toward you." He cnt
liliiixlxcd the kind intention which these
words revealed by giving her his hand.
Kut the next moment he drew back.
There was no disguising It, he drew back
iih If ho wished to get away from her.
She noticed that his lips were llnnly clos
ed and his eyebrows knitted In n frown;
lie looked like n nut n who was forcing
himself to submit to some hard necessity
that he hated or feared,
Sydney left the room In despair. He
had denied In the plainest and kindest
terms that he was changed toward her.
Was that not enough? It was nothing
like enough. '1 lit' fuels were there to
speak for themselves; he wiih an altered
man; anxiety, sorrow, remorse one or
the other s.eemcd to have got possession of
hlm. Judging by Mrs. I.liiley's gnyety of
milliner, his wife could not possibly have
been taken into his coulideuce.
What did It menu? Oh, the useless,
hopeless question! And yet, again and
jigalii nIu asked herself: What did It
iuean?
The dinner party came to an end; the
neighbors had taken their departure; and
the ladies at Mount Morveu had retired
for the night.
On the way to her room Mrs. I'resty
knocked at her daughter's door. "I want
to speak to you, Catherine," she said. "I
am the bearer of good news. When we
Hud It necessary to get rid of Miss Wester
Hold '
Mm. I.liiley's Indignation expressed It
self by a look which, for the moment at
least, reduced her mother to Holenee.
"Do you mean to tell me, inammn, that
you have said to Herbert what you sulci
just now to nioV"
"Certainly, I mentioned It to Herbert
In the course of the evening. Ho was
excessively rude. He said. 'Tell Mrs.
Mac ICd win to mind her own business."
"What has Mrs. MacKdwIn to do with
it?" asked Mrs. i.lnley,
"if you will only let me Hpeak, Cath
erine, 1 shall bo happy to explain myself.
You miw Mrs. MailMwIn talking to me
nt the party. That good lady's head-n
feeble head, as all her friends admit
has been completely turned by Miss West
erllehl. If, by any lucky cliauee, Miss
Westerlield happens to be disengaged in
(lie fature, Mrs, MacKdwIn's house Is
open to her at her own time and on her
' own terms, I promised to speak to you
on the subject, and I perforin my prom
ise. Think over it; I btrongly udvlso you
to think over It,"
Uvea Mrs. I.liiley's good nature declin
ed to submit to this. "1 shall certainly not
think over what cannot possibly happen,"
kite said, "llood night, iiiaiiiiua."
Mrs. I'resty passed through the dress
ing room on her way out. The way to her
own bed chamber led her by the door of
Sydney's room, Shu suddenly stopped;
the door was not shut, This was la Itself
a suspicious circumstance, A strict sense
of duty conducted Mrs, I'resty next Into
the room; and even encouraged her to ap
proach the. bed on tiptoe. The IhhI was
empty; the clothes had not been disturbed
luce It had been made In the morning!
If the house had not been full of guests,
Mrs. I'resty would have raised an alarm.
Ah things were, the fear of a possible
scandal, which the family might have rea
son to regret, forced her to act with cau
tion. Meditating In the retirement of her
own room, she arrived nt a wise and wary
decision. Opening the door by a few inches
.she placed a chair behind the opening in
a position which commanded a view of
Sydney's room. Wherever the governess
might be, her return to her bed chamber,
before the servants were astir In the
morning, was a clinncc to be counted on.
One man In the smoking room nppenred
to be thoroughly weary of talking poli
tics. That man was the master of the
house.
He wns the Inst to retire fevered by
the combined Intliieuces of smoke and
noise. His mind, oppressed nil through
the evening, wns as III nt ease ns ever.
Lingering, wakeful, and Irritable In the
corridor, he stopped at the open door,
nud admired the peaceful beauty of the
garden.
The sleepy servant, nppolnted to attend
In the smoking room, asked If he should
close the door. I.lnley answered: "Go to
bed and leave It to me." Still lingering
at the top of the steps, he was tempted
by the refreshing coolness of the nlr. He
took the key out of the lock; secured the
door nfter he had passed through It; put
the key In his pocket, and went down Into
the garden.
C-IIAPTHIt XI.
With slow steps I.lnley crossed the
lawn; Ids mind gloomily ubsorbed in
thoughts which had never before troubled
IiIh easy nature; thoughts heavily laden
with a burden of self-reproach. Muley
entered the shrubbery, because It happen
ed to be nearest to, hlm.
The Instant afterward he was startled
by the appearance of a llgure emerging
Into the moonlight from the further end
of tho shrubbery, and rapidly npproach
lug hlm.
"Who Is out ho late?" he nsked.
A cry of alarm answered hlm. The fig
ure stood stilt for a moment, and then
turned back as If to escape hlm by lllght.
"Don't bo frightened," lie said. "Surely
you know my voice?"
The figure stood still ngaln. lie showed
himself in the moonlight, nud discovered
Sydney Westerfield.
"You!" he exclaimed.
She trembled; the words In which she
answered hlm were words In fragments.
"The garden was so quiet ami pretty
I thought there would be no harm please
let me go buck I'm afraid I shall be shut
out "
She tried to pass htm. "My poor child,"
he said, "what Is thero to be frightened
about? I have been tempted out by the
lovely night, like you. Take my arm. It
Is so close In here nmon'g tho trees. If
we go buck to the lawn, the air will come
to you freely."
She took his arm; he could feel her
heart throbbing against It. Kindly silent.
lie ten tier lincK to the open space. Some
garden chairs were placed hero and there;
he suggested that she should rest for
awhile.
"I'm afraid I shall be shut out," she
repeated. "Pray let me go back."
He yielded nt once to tho wish that she
expressed, "You must let me tuku you
back," he explained. "They are all asleep
at 'the house by this time. No!. no! don't
be frightened again, I have got the key
of the door. The moment I have opened
It, you shall go In by yourself."
She looked at hlm gratefully. "You are
not offended with me now, Mr. Muley,"
she said, "You are like your kind self
again."
They ascended the steps which led to
the door. I.lnley took the key from his
pocket. It acted perfectly In drawing
back the lock; but the door, when he push
ed It, resisted hlm, He put his shoulder
against It, and exerted his strength help
ed by his weight. The door remained Im
movable, Hud one of the servants sitting up
Inter than usual after the party, and not
aware that Mr. I.lnley hud gone into the
garden noticed the door, and carefully
fastened the bolts on the Inner side? That
was exactly what had happened,
"Can't wo make them hear us?" nsked
Sydney.
"Quite Impossible, llesldes " He wns
about to remind her of the evil construc
tion which might be placed on their up
pearanco together, returning from the gar
den nt an advanced hour of the night; but
her Innocence pleaded with hlm to he fsV
lent. He only siiid, "You forget that we
all sleep at the top of our old castle. There
Is no knocker to the door, nud no bell that
rings upstairs. Come to the summer house.
In nn hour or two more we shall see the
Bm rise." (
As a mark of respect on her part, she
offered the anuchulr to hlm; It was the
one comfortable sent In the neglected
place. He Insisted that she should take
It; and searching the summer house, found
n wooden stool for himself. "What should
I have done," she wondered, "If I had
been shut out of the house by myself?"
Her eyes rested on him timidly; there was
some thought In her which she shrunk
from expressing. She only said: "I wish
1 knew how to bo worthy of your klud
ness." Her voice warned him that she was
struggling with strong emotion. I.lnley
treated her like a child; he smiled, and
patted her on the shoulder. "Nousense!"
he said Bayly. "There Is no merit In be
ing kind to my good little governess."
She took that comforting hnud It was
a harmless Impulse that she was uuabte
to resist she bent over It, and kissed It
gratefully. Ho drew his hand away from
her as If the soft touch of her lips hud
been lire thut burned It. "Oh," she cried,
"have I done wrong?"
"No, my dear no, no,"
There was. an embarrassment in his
manner, the Inevitable result of his fear
of himself If he faltered lu the resolute
exercise of self-restraint, which was per
fectly Incomprehensible to Sydney, Com
pletely misunderstanding htm, she
thought he was reminding her of the dis
tance that separated them iu social rank,
A tit of hysterical sybblug burst Us way
through her last reserves of self-control;
she started to her feet, nud ran out of the
summer house. Alarmed and distressed,
he followed her Instantly.
She wns leaning against the pedestal of
n statue In the garden, panting, shudder
ing, n sight to touch the heart of n far
less sensitive man than the man who now
npproached her. "Sydney!" he said.
"Dear little Sydney?" She tried to speak
to hlm in return. Ilrcath and strength
failed her together: she would have fallen
If he had not caught her in tits arms. Her
head sank faintly bnckwnrd on his breast.
He looked at the poor little tcfrtured face,
turned up toward htm In the lovely moon
light. Again and again lie hud honorably
restrained htmself he was human; he
wns n mnn In one mnil moment It wns
done, hotly, pnsslonutely done ho kissed
her.
I'or the first time In her mnlden life n
tunn's lips touched her lips. All that had
been perplexing nnd strange, nil that had
been innocently wonderful to herself In
the feeling thnt bound Sydney to her first
friend, was n mystery no more. Love lift
ed Its veil, nature revealed its secrets, in
the one supreme moment of that kiss. She
threw her nrms round his neck with n low
cry of delight and returned his kiss.
"Sydney," he whispered, "I loveyoul" v
She heard hlm In rapturous silence. Her
kiss had answered for her. At this crUls
In their lives they were snved by nn acci
dent; a poor little common nccldcnt thnt
happens every dny. The Bprlng In the
briicelct thnt Sydney wore gnve wny as
she held him to her; the bright trinket fell
on the grass at their feet. The man never
noticed It. The woman saw her pretty or

lie wns nstounded. In tones that trem
bled with ngltutlon, he said to her: "Are
you III?"
"Shameless nnd wicked," she nnswered.
"Not 111." She pointed to the bracelet on
the grnss. "Take It up; I am not fit to
touch It. Look on the Inner side."
He remembered the Inscription: "To
Sydney Westerlleld, with Cntherlne Lin
ley's love." Ills head sank on his brenst;
he understood her nt Inst. "You despise
me," he said; "and I deserve It."
"No; I despise myself. I have lived
among vile people; nud I nm vile like
them."
She moved nwoy a few steps with a
heavy sigh. "Kilty," she snld to herself.
"Poor little Kitty!"
He followed her. "Why are you think
ing of the child," he nsked, "at such u
time us this?"
She replied without returning or look
ing round; distrust of .herself had Inspired
her with terror of Llnley from the time
when the bracelet had dropped on the
grnss.
"I can make but one ntpnement," she
snld. "We must see each other no more.
I must say good-by to Kitty I must go.
Help me to submit to my hnrd lot I must
go."
"I must nsk you to submit to n sacrifice
of your own feelings," ho began.' "When
I kept uwny from you In the drawing room
Inst night when my strnngo conduct
made you fear that you had offended me
I wns trying to remember what I owed
to my good wife. I have been thinking
of her again. We must spare her a dis
covery too terrible to' be endured, while
her attention Is claimed by tho guests who
are now In the house. In a week's time
they will leave us. Will you consent to
keep up appearances? Will you live with
us ns usual, until we arc left by our
nelves?" "It shall be done, Mr. Lluley. I only
ask one favor of you. My worst enemy
Is my own miserable, wicked heart. Oh,
don't you understand me? I nm ashamed
to look nt you."
Not a word more passed between them
until the unbarring of doors was heard
In the stillness of the morning, nnd tin
smoke began to rise from tho kitchen
chimney. Then he returned and spoke to
her.
"You can get back Into the house," he
snld. "Go up by the front stnlrs, ami you
will not meet the servunts at this early
hour. If they do see you, you have your
cloak on; they will think you have been
In the garden earlier than usual. As you
pass the upper door draw back tho bolts
quietly, and I can let myself In,"
She bent her hend In silence. IIo looked
nfter her ns she hastened away from hlm
over the lawn; conscious of admiring her,
conscious of more than he dared realize
to himself. With his sense of the duty he
owed to his wife penitently present to-his
mind, the memory of thnt fatal kiss still
ieft Its vivid Impression on hlm. "What
u scoundrel I am!" he said to himself as
he stood alone In the summer house, look
ing at the chulr which she had Just left.

On the cvenliiK of Monday In the new
week, the hint of the visitors bad left
Mount Morven.
The nest day was Kitty's birthday, and
while they were nil lu tho breakfast room
prenentliiK their clfu to the child Llnley
took occntdon to whisper to Sydney:
"Meet me lu the shrubbery In half an
hour."
Incapable of bcarlnit what passed be
tween them, Mrs. Prcsty could nee that a
secret understanding united her son-ln-luw
and tho Koveruess. She beckoned
Itandal to Join her at the further end of
the room.
"I want you to do me a favor," she be
gan. "Observe MUs Westerlleld and your
brother, Look at them now,"
Itnndal obeyed. "What U there to look
at?" he Inquired.
"Ihey are talking confidentially; talk
ing so that Mrs. Llnley cnu't hear them.
Look ii gain,
U mid a I fixed his eyes on Mrs. I'resty,
with an expression which showed his dis
like of that lady n little too plainly. A
few momenta later all except Mrs. I'resty
nnd Itandul went Into the garden.
"My daughter's married life Is a wreck,"
she burst out, pointing theatrically to the
door by which Lluley and Sydney Wester
lleld had retired. "And Catherine bus
the vile creature whom your brother pick
ed up In Loudon to thank for it! Now
do you understand me?"
"Less than ever," Itandal answered,
"unless you have takeu leave, of your,
senses."
They were both now sitting with their
backs turned to the entrance from the li
brary to the drawing room.
"I won't trouble you with my own Im
pressions," Mrs. I'resty went on; "I will
be careful only to mention what I have
seeu and heard. If you refuse to believe
me I refer you to the guilty persons them
selves." She had just got to the end of those In
troductory words, when Mrs. Lluley re
turned, by way of the library, to fetch
a forgotten pnrnsol. She advanced a step
and took the parasol from the table. Hear
ing what Itnndal said, she paused,. won
dering nt the strange allusion to her hus
band. "Yes," snd Mrs. Prcsty to Randal; "I
mean your brother nnd your brother's love
Sydney Westerfield."
Mrs. Llnley laid tho pnrasol back on the
table and npproached them. She never
once looked nt her mother; her face, white
nnd rigid, wns turned toward Itnndal. To
hlm, nud to him only, she spoke.
"Whnt does my mother's horrible lan
guage menu?" she nsked.
"Can't you see," snld Mrs. Prcsty to
her daughter, "thnt I nm here to nnswer
for myself?"
Mrs. Llnley still looked nt Itandnl, and
still spoke to hlm. "It Is Impossible for
me to Insist on nn explanation from my
mother," she proceeded. "No matter what
I may feel, I must remember that she Is
my mother. I nsk you again you who
hnve been listening to her whnt does she
menu?"
Mrs. Presty's sense -of her own Impor
tnnce refused to submit to being passed
over iu this wny. ,
"However Insolently you may behave,
Catherine, you will not succeed In provok
ing me. Your mother Is bound to open
your eyes to the truth. You huve n rival
In your husband's nffcctlons: nnd that
rival Is your governess. Take your Own
course now; I hnve no more to sny." With
her head high In the nlr looking the pic
ture of conscious virtue the old lady
walked out.

Helping tlio Curate
A good story is being told nt tho ex
pense of n young curate who has re
cently been nppolnted to n buck coun
try purlBh. It wns his first wedding,
mid lie wns terribly nervous.
The bridegroom, a burly fellow,
smiled 'encouragingly, mid nitdlbly re
marked that "everybody lintl to lnrn,"
when tlio cleric Hindis Ills first few
blunders. Matters got serious when
the curate, turning to the smiling bride
groom, nsked:
"Wilt tliotimvu this woman ns tny
wedded husband?"
Tho bride tittered, but the clergymnn,
with ii very red face, tried jiriiIii: "Wilt
thou hnve this mnn to 'thy wedded
woman?" . (
There was a genurnl titter, nnd even
the bridegroom looked a trllle rullled.
There was u look of fierce iletermlnn
Hon in the curate's eye as lie loosened
his collar nnd proceeded: "Wilt thou
have this liuslmud-nlii'in! Wilt thou
have this wedd'tig-WIlt thou "
At this the bridegroom Interfered.
"Aw iloun't know wot yer wants me to

on the bride's shoulder, "an' aw'll liuv

A friend whom good fortune lias
tnken to Cairo for the season writes to
tell me of the curious occurrence that
accompanied the arrival of tho great
Mohammedan fast of Itamadnn n few
weeks ago. Tho pious Moslem starts
to utlllct himself when the. new moon
appears. While awaiting the exact
moment the grand kadi holds a big re
ception nnd men are sent to the highest
minarets of the mosques to announce
the nppearnnco of the moon and com
mencement of the fast. This year tho
new moon was first seeu from Asslout,
nnd the news was sent to Cairo over
the telegraph wires. Thereupon tlio
fust was Inaugurated by the beating of
drums, tho tiring of salutes from tho
citadel uud the dispatch of further telo
grums nil over the country to announce
the tldlugs. It Is very curious that so
conservative a faith as Mohammedan
lsli should accept the good services of a
modem luveutlon like electricity.
Are Pennies Unlucky?
A New Orlentii -paper the other dny
gave an account of a conductor on one
of tho street enrs who refused to accept
five coppers as faro from a passenger.
Why oro conductors so nverso to re
ceiving pennies? The principal reason
Is thnt peuntes will not be taken from
the meu at the auditor s otllce. Con
ductors cannot turu them In as part of

Many colored persons consider pen
nies unlucky. I saw an old Southern
inaminy remonstrate with a conductor
because he gave her Ave pennies In
change, aud when he refused to tuko
them back she threw them ou the sent

left tho car. Many actors and actress
