I By MRS. LOVETT CAMERON jl A Dead Past CHAPTER X. (Continued.) She stood before htm trembling; some thing, too, awoke In her also that vague something which from the very first his presence had shadowed forth in her. "Answer me, Kitten. Do you under hand me?" he cried, eagerly: for now" that he had spoken, nv hot, impetuous lover could be more impatient "Do you love me, child? Do you love mo?" "What is love?" sho murmured, below' her breath. "It Is Hfo and delight; it Is happiness, Kitten: it is what you were longing for, child." "Is It happiness?" she asked, dreamily, looking away from him. Was this indeed the answer to the great mystery which the wisest men on earth had been unable to fathom) "Are you sure, quite sure, that it is happiness?" she repeated. "Yes: is it not what you wanted your self? That I should stay with you al ways: only that would not give you con tent always unless, you were one with tne. part of my life, part of my very celf. To understand perfect happiness you must lovo me, and you must be my wife." She looked up straight into his eyes. "And you?" she said, trembling. "Do you love me, you? Is it perfect happi ness for you, too T' Something in the intense earnestness of her wonderful eyes cut him through for one moment like a knife; for half a second he could not meet her look al most winced before her. "Are you sure, quite sure," she said again, "that you, too you have this wonderful thing, this love which you tell me about? Is it to make you happy as well? Or Is it only for pity, and because I spoke ignorantly and foolishly, not knowing what I said?" "Kitten, dearest Kitten I" he cried, tak ing her soft face between both his hands, and at his touch the blood rushed once mora in a flame to her cheeks. "Why should you say that; why should I not love you. child?" Why. indeed! Perhaps for one swift hour he believed It himself, her strange auestionlngs, her persistent doubtful ness, the curious blending of shrewdness and of innocence which was the oddest part of the remarkable creature's char acter, fanned the flame within him, and increased, as opposition invariably does, his longing to take her to himself, until In very truth he told himself that he did Indeed love her. "Who could help loving you, my fairy aueen?" he cried. "Do you think because I am so much older than you are that I am blind and Amt and cold to your love liness and your sweetness? I cannot love you as a father. Kitten; that love has gone from your life forever, but I can make It up to you, my sweetest, for I can love you as a lover and a husband, and I can teach you, Kitten I can teach you how to love me back again." One of her raro sweet smiles stole into her face, hovering first at the corners of her mouth and then spreading like sun shine to her grave, still eyes, till they were lit up by a strange, unusual light, then slowly they sank before him. "I think I have learned that already," she whispered, "better oh, yes, far bet ter than you can teach me." That was Kitten Laybourne's wooing. And by and by, when the September days were already drawing to a close, very quietly, with no wedding guests and no wedding festivities, with but the vil lage doctor to give her away, and with only a small crowd of village poor as witnesses, in her black dress and bonnet, with old Keziah behind her to hold her cloves, and the parson who had chrlst ned her to read the service over her, Catherine Elizabeth Laybourne was mar ried to Brian Desmond in the little vil lage church In which she had sat every Sunday of her life, and passed out of Its porch a serious-faced but happy bride, along the path across the church yard, where her young mother lay at rest after the short fever of her happy life. The clergyman kissed her and wished her joy. the doctor grasped her hands and blessed her. the school children scattered autumn flowers under her feet. And then she stepped into a carriage laden with luggage which waited for her at the church gate, and was driven away on her new life straight from the church to the station. CHAPTER XI. "Good gracious, wonders will never cease! Felicia, I shall faint! Hold me or fetch my salts bottle!" The speaker flung down the paper and threw herself back In her chair with a gesture of mock despair. She sat upon 1ip balcony in a low straw chair with a red and white striped awning over her head. The little seaside town, with Its dead-alive streets and Its empty es r.inflilp. lav absolutely silent in the calm of the midday dinner hour, beneath the windows of the liotei. xne sea, cnim as .iiiok nond. stretched away to heaven In a great brazen sheet beyond the edge of the cliffs tiny fishing smacks, brown or white-sailed, rested motionless upon i HrzIess bosom. -A few straggling parties of uurses and little children came laggingly up from the sands below, pat tering homo on stout little stocklngless fn their midday dinners. There was nothing else to look at, no other evl- dence Of'mO in iue iiriumtiro uiuu ium- ehlre watering place, nothing but that nmvs in the pages of the Morn- rna? which had caused Gertrude Talbot to dash down tho offending paper with a violence which summoned her companion from the cool shadiness of the hotel sitting room uvimm iinrut nn earth has happened?' ex claimed Felicia Grautley, stepping out through tho French window on to the bVhat on earth has not happened?" cried Mrs. Talbot. 'I am broken heart ed Read that Brian Desmond Is mar- d Fdlcla laughed. "What an emotional woWn you are, Ctertrude! How much Tf all this sgKatlon is real, and bow uck of sham? Even If Mr. Desmond f?u5-u; t ,wt .u what It matters see who the lady Is." She picked up tho paper and began studying the anouncemcnt herself. "Laybourne Laybourne! Where have I heard that name?" murmured Felicia to herself. "And they were married at Frlerly. The lato Prof. Laybourno's only daughter. Why, of course, It must be tho samo girl. Oh, poor, poor Roy I" and she, too, dashell down tho paper Im patiently. "Roy being the schoolboy cousin they wanted you to marry?" Inquired Ger trude. "But why poor Roy? And what can he have to do with Brian Desmond's marriage?" "Oh, nover mind, never mind," replied Felicia, almost angrily, retreating sud-. denly back Into the room behind her. Sho was genuinely sorry, and angry, too, with the girl who perhaps had broken her faith to Roy to marry Desmond. But Roy's lovo affairs did not Interest Mrs. Talbot; she was thinking of other things. "Then I suppose he married her either out of pity or because ha did not know what else to do with her. Mark my words, Felicia, that marriage will be an unhappy one." "I don't seo how you can tell that." "Yes, because Brian Desmond does not love her! ho has had a past, that man, a grand passion in his life, which Is by no means dead. I don't know what It is, but it Is certain that little Mls3 Laybourne has nothing to do with It Brian Desmond's life Is not over yet; he Is a long way from tho blessed condition of callous Indlfferenco to the reopening of an old wound that Is the nearest approach to happiness for which some of us can over hope. You will see that he will live to break his "wife's heart yet if she loves "him and to wish himself dead and burled, too." Gertrude Talbot flung back her hand some head and laughed, showing all her white teeth and flourishing about her hands with a free, careless abandon of action, till all the rows of littlo gold bangles on her wrists jingled merrily upon her hands. "What are we going to do to-day, my dear?" she cried gayly. "This dead- alive place is becoming almost too much for my strength of mind; the sands are infested with babies and the cliffs are hot and blazing. What possible enter tainment can you suggest for the. day for a woman of intelligent aspirations and a temperament that positively col lapses without the stimulus of novelty and excitement? ' "I am at my wits' ends. Suppose we send for tho waiter'" suggested Felicia, Tho bell was rung, and the waiter shortly appeared. "Walter," Bald Mrs. Talbot, "we want something to do; how do people as a rule amuse themselves when they come down here to stay, when they are tired of looking at the sea and of sitting on the beach?" Thus appealed to, Caleb Griggs scratched his head, pushed out his lower lip and pondered deeply. "Ah, yes!" he exclaimed suddenly; "there Is a house, a fine house, too not an old house but avery nice place with a good park. It's a long way irom here, certainly a good ten mile or more, but then the horse could be put up for nn hour, while the ladies walked about the park, and the family is away, so that no doubt the housekeeper could be in duced to show two ladles over It, and if they would like to take their lunch In basket " "The very thing! the very thing!" cried Mrs. Talbot, excitedly; "we will go there. What is the name of this place, and Who does it belong to?" "It's called Keppington Hall, ma'am, and It belongs to a family of the name of Desmond. The present owner he ain't been there much; but I did hear as how he was lately married, and is to bring his lady home soon. Gertrude glanced at Felicia slgnincant' lv. "Order the fly at once," sne saia 10 the man, "and we will go and put our things -on. It really Is a wonderrui piece of luck; of all places on earth Brian Desmond's house Is the one i most wisn to Inspect just now, and I had no idea it was within reach or bmacKton. 1 ai ways think there must be some reason whv he never goes mere; ne succeeueu his nncle. you know, three years ago. There was a horrible railway accident to the Flying Dutchman, you rememoer, i daresay. Lots of people were smashed, and old Mr. Desmond and both his sons kll Pil: It was awiui, or course, ior them, but a capital thing for Brian, who , nnnr ns a rat Deiore uiui; uui it uu missed my comprehension why .. . . ., i he has never liveu at mis jimce; in-rimim we shall hear something from the house keeper. I shall tip her well and see if we can pick up anything." CHAPTER XII. Keppington Hall stood half way up upon tho southern slope of a range of round-topped moormnu nnm mut ,i nnmllv dowo upon It from above, and flat-terraced gardens, well laid out and well kept surrounding it; but upon the slopes above the solid white stone building, tho trees became sparser and stunted in form and height, till at last they melted away altogether among heather and clumps of grey rock Into tho sterner landscape of the moors overhead. The woman at the lodge, upon Mrs, Tnihnt'H renuest that they might bo per mltted to go over the house and to eat tiioir lunMieon in some corner of the park, had returned a bewildered answer that they had better inquire up at the house of Mrs. Succurdeu, the housekeep- They drove up to the door, the, flyman got lumberlngly down from his box and rang the ben; it ciangeu iuuuiy uu j . . !.. .1. llnn 'PIlOM tllfV ringiy out imu u hbw. wn ItAfl.

Mrs. Succurden looked suspicious and doubtful; tourists wore her dotestatlon. "Mr. Desmond Is a friend of mine," added Gertrude; "I nm sure he would allow me." "Of course, ma'am, that maKes n dif ference," replied Mrs. Succurden more graciously; "not that thero's much to bo seen, and tho houso has boon so long empty still, If you would care to seo.

Something, sho knew not what, mado her suddenly Inquisitive concerning this frame. She glanced round; Mrs. Suc curden nnd Felicia stood with their bocks to her, looking out of windows; she turn ed the tiny key quickly and opened its doors. Before her was a painted minia ture of a young girl In a riding habit wearing an old-fashioned felt hat with a bird's wing at tho side; the face was exceedingly beautiful, tho eyes largo and dark, the features regular, the lips full and very sweet, and hair too was dark, and the figure appeared to be tall and perfectly symmetrical. "That is Miss Gray," said tne voice of the housekeeper behind her. Ger trude started and shut to the little door almost guiltily. But before they left the little study. Felicia lingering behind had time to make one or two private observations. Do you think," she whispered to Gertrude while they waited at the open doorway that led into the gardens, when Mrs. Succurden had gone in quest of tho man who was to take her placo as cicerone: "do you think that thero Is a Mr. Succurden about, uertruue; "Impossible to say why?'
