CHAPTER VIII.
Awfully faet tlm aped away. It wis
the second week In March I passed In
Sark; th second week la Mar cam up-
me at If born by a whirlwind. It
waa only a month to the day to long
tied upon for oar marriage. My mother
began to fidget about my going rr to
London to fit myseir oat with wadding
cloth. Julia'a waa going on fatt U
completion. Our trip to Switzerland waa
dietinctly planned ant Go I moat to
London; ordor my wadding anit I muit
But II rat thara could be no harm la run
ning rr to Sark to too OUrla one
mora. Aa aooa a I waa married I would
tU Julia aU about her. But If either
arm or aakle went wrong for waat of at
tention, I ahould Barer forgire myeelf.
It waa the laat time I could aee Ollria
before my marriage. Afterwarda I ahould
e much of her; for Julia would Invite
her to oar house, tad be a friend to her.
I ipent a wretchedly aleepleea night; and
whenever I doaed I aaw Olivia before ma,
weeping bitterly, and refuting to be com
forted. From St Bamptoa'a we art aail straight
for the Havre Gotselin. To my extreme
urprlae and chagrin, Captain Carey an
nounced hia Intention of landing with
ma, and 1 earing the yacht In charge of
hia men to await ear return.
The ladder la excessively awkward,"
I objected, "and aome of the runga are
loos. Ton don't mind running the riak
of a plnngo Into the water?"
"Not In the least" he anawered cheer
ily; "for the matter of that, I plunge Into
It arery morning at L'Ancreaae. I want
to aee Tardlf. He la one in a thousand,
aa yon any; and one cannot aee auch a
man every day of one' a life."
There waa no help for it, and I gave
In, hoping tome good lack awaited me.
I led the way up the aig-aag path, and
Just aa w reached the top I aaw the
alight, erect figure of Olivia aeated upon
th brow of a little graeey knoll at a
abort dlatance from a. Her back waa
towarda us, ao the waa not awar of our
Ttclnlty; and I pointed towarda her with
an aeaumed air of Indifference.
"I believe that la my patient yonder,"
I aid; "I will Just run acroaa and apeak
to her, and then follow you to th farm."
"Ah!" he exclaimed, "there la a lovely
view from that apot 1 recollect It well.
I will go with you. Then will be time
enough to ee Tardlf."
Did Captain Carey auspect aojuiing?
Or what reason could he have for wish
ing to ee Olivia? Could it be merely
that he wanted to ee the riew from that
particular apot? I could not forbid him
accompanying me, but I wished him at
Jericho.
OUria did not hear oar footatepa upon
th toft turf, though we approached her
very nearly. The aun ahone upon her
glossy hair, every thread of which seem
ed to thine back again. She waa read
ing aloud, apparently to herself, and the
aounds of her aweet voice were wafted
by the air towarda us. Captain Carey's
lace became very thoughtful.
A few atepa nearer brought na la view
t Tardlf, who had spread hia nets on
the grass, and waa examining them nar
rowly for rente. Just at this moment
he waa down on hia knee., not far from j
Olivia, gathering aome broken mesne to
gether, bat listening to her, with an ex
preaaion of huge contentment upon hU
handsome face. A bitter pang shot
through me. Could It be true by any pos
sibilitythat lie I had heard the last time
I waa in Sark?
"Good day, Tardlf," ahouted Captain
Carey; and both Tardlf and OUrla start
ed. But both of their faces grew bright
er at seeing ua. Olivla'e color had come
back to her cheeks, and a sweeter face
no man ever looked upon.
"I am very glad you are come once
mora," ah said, putting her hand in
mine; "you told me in your last letter
you were going to England."
I glanced from the corner of my eye at
Captain Carey, He looked very grave,
but hia eyes could not rest upon Olivia
without admiring her, aa ahe stood be
fore us, bright-faced, slender, erect, with
tne folds of her coarse dreas falling about
her as gracefully aa if they were of theJ
richest material.
"This la my friend. Captain Carey, Miss
Olivia," I said, "In whose yacht I have
come to visit yon."
"I am very glad to aee any friend of
Dr. Martin's," she answered aa she held
ut her hand to him with a smile; "my
doctor and I are great friends, Captain
Carey.
"Bo I suppose," he aaid significantly
er at laaat his tone and look seemed
fraught with significance to me.
"Tardlf," I aaid, "Captain Carey came
ashore on pnrpoae to riait you and your
farm.
I knew he waa excessively proud of hia
farm, which conaisted of about four or
fire acres. He csught st the words with
alacrity, and led the way towards bis
house with tremendous strides. Olivia
snd I were left alone, but she waa mov
ing after them slowly, when I ran to her,
and offered her my arm, on the plea that
bar ankle waa atlll too weak to bear her
weight unsupported.
Olivia I 1 exclaimed, after we had
gone a lew yards, bringing her and my
self to a sadden halt. Then I waa struck
dumb. I had nothing special to say to
bar. How waa it I had called her so
familiarly Olivia?
"Wall, Dr. Martin T she said, looking
Into my face again with eager, inquiring
eyes, aa if ahe waa wishful to understand
my varying moods.
"What a lovely place this la!" I ejac
ulated. More lorely than any worda I erer
heard could describe. It wat a perfect
day, and a perfect riew. The aea was
like an opal. The cliffs stretched below
na, with arery hue of gold and bronze,
and hoary white, and soft grey; and here
and there a black rock, with livid shades
of purple, and a bloom upon It like a
raven's wing. Rocky islets, nerer trod
den by human foot, over which the foam
poured ceaaelessly, were dotted all about
the changeful surface of the water. And
Just beneath the level of my eyes waa
Olivia's fsce the loveliest thing there,
though there was so much beauty lying
around ua.
"Yes, It la a lorely place," she assent
ed, a miachlevous smile playing about her
lips.
"OUrla," I aaid, taking my courage by
both hands, "it is only a mouth till my
wedding day."
Waa I deceiving myself, or did she real
ly grow paler? It waa but for a moment
If it were ao. But how cold the air felt
all In an instant! The shock was like
that of a first plunge into chilly waters,
and I was shivering through every fiber.
"I hope yon will be happy," said Olivia,
"very happy. It is a great risk to run.
Marriage will make you either very hap
py er very wretched."

Not at alt," I answered, trying t
apeak gaily; "I de not look forward to
any vast amount of rapture. Julia aid I
will get along vry well together, I have
a doubt, for we have knew a an
other aU our lives. I set expect to be
any happier than ether men; and th
married people I have known have not
xactly dwe,t in Paradise, Perhapa yur
xperlsnc ha been different?"
"Oh, ne!" ah aaid, kar hand trembling
e my arm, and her fac vary downcast;
"bat I should kar Uked you to be vary,
vary happy."
So softly t pokes, with auch a low, fal
tering voice 1 I could not trust myself
to apeak (gala. A stern seats of duty
towarda Julia kept me silent; and w
moved on, though very alewly and Ua
geringly. "Ton lor her very niuchr aaid th
quiet vole at my aide, not much louder
thaa the vole of conaclenc.
"I esteem her more highly than any

"Ne: aha must lore you." I aaid. with
warmth; "and L too, can be a more use

free to plat perfect confidence la ua."
She smiled faintly, without speaking
a wuile which aaid plainly ah could keep
her own cru cloeely. It provoked me
to do a thing I had had ao Intention of
doing, and whivh I regretted very much
afterward. I opened my pocket book and
drew ut th little allp of paper con
taining the advertisement.
"Read that" I aaid.

the first Une, for her fac went deadly
white, and her eyes turned upon me with
s wild, beseeching look ss Tardlf de
scribed It, the look of a creature .hunted
and terrified. I thought ahe would have
fallen, and I put my arm round her. She
faatened both her handa about mine, and
her lips moved, though I could not catch
a word she was saying.
"Olivia!" I cried, "Olivia! do you aup
pose I could do anything to hurt yon? Do
not be so frightened! Why, I am your
friend truly. I wish to heaven I had not
shown you th thing. Have more faith
In me, and more courage."
"But they will find me, and force me
away from here, ahe muttered.

- "Gire-yoa up to them!" I repeated bit
terly. "Am I a Judas?"
' But ahe could not talk to me any more.
She was trembling like an asuen leaf,
and her breath caine tobbingly. All I
could do was to take her home, blaming
myself for my cursed folly
Tardif walked with us to the top of the
cliff, and made me a formal, congraiu
latory apeech before quitting us. When
he was gone, Captaiu Carey stood still
until he waa quite out of hearing, and
then stretched out hit hand towards the
thatched roof, yellow with stonecrop and
lichens.
"This ia a serious business, Martin,"
he said, looking sternly at me; "you are
in lore with that girl.
"I love her with all my heart and soul!"
I cried.
The worda startled me aa 1 uttered
them. They had inrulred in them ao many
unpleasant consequences, so much cha
grin and bitterness as their practical re
sult, that I stood aghast even while my
pulses throbbed, and my heart beat high,
with the novel rapture of loving any
woman aa I loved OUrla.
"Come, come, my poor fellow!" said
Captain Carey, "we must aee what can
b done."
It was neither a time nor s place for
th indulgence of emotion of any kind.
It waa Impossible for me to remain on
th cliffs, bemoaning my unhappy fat.
I strode on doggedly down the path,
kicking the loose atones into the water
aa they came in my way. Captain Carey
followed, whistling softly to himself. He
continued doing so after we were aboard
the yacht.
"I cannot leave you like this, Martin,
my boy," he said, when w went ashore
at St. Sampson's; and he pat hit arm
through mine.
You will keep my secret I said, my
roic s key or two lower then nsual.
Martin," answered the good-hearted,
clear-sighted old bachelor, "you must not
do Julia the wrong of keeping this a se
cret from her."
I mutt," I urged. "OUrla knows noth
ing of it; nobody guesses it but yon. I
must conquer It"
"Martin, urged Captain Carey, "come
up to Johanna, and tell her all about it."
Johanna Carey wat one of the powera
in the island. Everybody knew bar; and
everybody went to her for comfort or
counsel. She was, o! course, related to
us all. I had always been a favorite
with her, and nothing could be more nat
ural than this proposal, that I ahould go
and tell her of my dilemma.
Johanna waa atandlng at one of the
windows, in a Quakerish dress of some

Nothing could more Johanna from that

It waa Julia's due to hesr it from my

haved the eight of her distress and firm
lore for myeelf would dissipate the in
fatuation of my lore for Olivia. But ahe
did not read Julia's character aa well as
my mother did.
Before ahe let me leave her I had
promised to bare my confession and sub
sequent explanation with Julia all over
the following day; and to make tbia the
more Inevitable, ahe told me ahe should
drive Into St. Peter-port the next after
noon about fir o'clock, when ahe should
expect to find this troublesome matter
settled, either by a renewal of my affec
tion for my betrothed, or the auapension
of the betrothal. In the latter case ah

John' Queue Is Doomed.
According to a resident of China
town, the statesmen 0f the flowery
kingdom are now considering the ad
visability of altering the Chinese law
which requires Mongolians to wear
queues. Th local Informant Is au
thority for the statement that the Chi
nese wore their hair American fashion
some three hundred years ago, at which
time they likewise wore garments sim
ilar to those In use In this country to
day. With a new emperor came an al
teration In the two fashions, and. erer
since queues and blouse nave been
quite the proper thing.
Now there Is a great agitation for
change back to the old style. The
Chinese are of a prsctlcal turn of
mind and Insists that too much time la
required to dress their long braids.
There Is considerable objection to the
eiyi now in vogue, sna so persistent
for a change has become the demand
that It Is likely the law establishing
the style of bead-dreas will be altered.
It Is stated that the Chinese will not
wear their hair long, but that tbelr
heads will be kept shaven. Only In

"I do not Invite foreigners to my table,
not even diplomats, for they are too
critical of the service, and here you
know that It Is Impossible to have such
well-trained servants as In France or
England. I have been hurt In my feel
ings, at my own table, at the quiet
amusement of guests when something
went wrong, some blunder In service.
And, as foreigners will make no allow
ances for our domestic ahortcomlngs, I
close my doors to them. In Paris I
should entertain foreigners, for there
I could be sure of my servants. But
we Mexicans do not want to be laughed
at, and that, perhaps, by people who
are not at borne, In tbelr own countries,
of our class. One does not know who
they are or what la their origin, The
lower tbelr extraction the greater their
presumption here." Boston Herald.
