    A Dead Past
By MRS. LOVCTT CAMERON J?
CHAPTER XII.-Contlnued.)
Later on, tho little party of excursion
Iita found a suitable spot for their pic
nic beneath the smooth, mossy trunk of
a giant beech tree, upon tho breezy slope
of the hill behind tho gardens. Hero
the nurse unpacked the luncheon basket
they -had brought and Master Roland
Talbot's mouth was shut by a largo help
lug of veal pie, while tho pfcodle lay
with his nose upon his mistress's lap and
was regaled with titbits from her plate.
Felicia leaned her back against the tree
and did the honors of the repast The
nurse having discreetly retreated out of
earshot with her own portion of the
viands, the ladles proceeded to discuss
what they had seen and heard.
"You may depend upon It that picture
Is somehow connected with Brian Des
mond's life," said Mrs. Talbot decidedly.
"Did you uotlce how mysterious the old
woman was about her? I wonder if she
was some governess in the family, and
what has become of her."
"Since Mr. Desmond has married some
one else, I don't see that it matters
much," said Felicia indifferently.
"I shall never forget that face, it was
a peculiar type of benuty. Has Brian
Desmond been wearing the willow for
. her ever since, I wonder?"
Felicia stifled a yawn; she was at a
loss to understand the keenness with
which her friend pursued the subject of
Mr. Desmond's antecedents.
."Look!" she exclaimed, glad to find
something to ohange the conversation,
"did I not tell you there had been a
man in that room. Behold, without a
doubt the late occupier of Mr. Des
mond's study! Good gracious, he Is tak
ing off his hat and coming straight to
us!"
A gentleman was in fact walking slow
ly up the slope among the beech trees
toward them. He was young and de
cidedly good looking; he had pleasant
grey eyes and an agreeable smile, and
his manner, when he took off his hat
and addressed them, was perfectly self
possesged and devoid of awkwardness.
"I must really apologize that you
should have been driven out into the
woods for your luncheon, ladies. I can
not think what Mrs. Succurdcn was
about not to ask you to remain In the
house."
"Oh, we are quite comfortable here,
thanks," answered Gertrude smilingly;
her whole face brightened at once. She
did not know .who was addressing her,
but she saw that he was well-looking
and a gentleman. He bad sufficient as
surance to address himself to her with
out knowing her and his very audacity
pleased her. "We must introduce our
selves. I am Mrs. Talbot, a grass
widow, If you choose to call me so. This
is my son and heir, this my angel of a
poodle, and this is my friend, Miss
Grantley."
Felicia bowed coldly, she looked grace
ful and summer-like in her white dress
and wide shady hat, leaning against the
smooth, mossy beech trunk. The stran
ger looked at her curiously, but she
dropped her eyes upon her plate and
would take, no .notice of him. He did not
venture to speak to her.
"We are nothing but common vulgar
tourists," continued Gertrude laughing
ly, "come over from Smackton in an
open fly for an outing, but I am a great
friend of Mr. Desmond's, and now sit
down here and share our lunch -If you
will, but please introduce yourself first;
tell us who you are and where you live.
"My name is' Edgar Koikes, at your
service. I, too, am a great friend of Mr..
Desmond's, and I live here," answered
the stranger laughingly. But he did not
accept Mrs. Talbot's Invitation to sit
down .and partake of her lunch; he stood
leaning upon his stick and looking down
upon her, but glancing sometimes covert
ly at the young lady, who was eating
her luncheon in cold silence.
"Do you live hero at Kepplngton
Hall?" inquired Mrs. Talbot, with some
surprise.
"Yes, certainly."
"Oh, then it was his paper upon the
floor," she exclaimed, turning to Felicia,
"and his pen that was wet!"
"And his smell of smoke," Interpolated
Miss Grantley quietly. It was the first
thing she had said.
"All, you are observant, Mrs. Talbot!"
replied Mr. Itaikes. "I certainly did
beat a most hasty retreat out of the
study when I beard the approach of
ladles' skirts."
''Has Mr. Desmond lent you the
house?"
"Exactly, he has given me the use of
It for a time," ho answered with a slight
flush. He might have told her that he
was paid a hundred and fifty .pounds a
year for doing so, but he was not mind
ed to make such confidences to her.
"What on earth do you do here?" said
Mrs. Talbot. "Are you all alone; what
do you do with yourself?"
"I shoot a little, aud I fish a little,"
said the young man. He might have
added that he got himself generally into
mischief, but this he also wisely re
frained from paying.
"It must be very dull; you had better
come over and see us at Smackton, we
are at the hotel." And then she got up
to go. The open fly appeared on the
Bcene on the road below them. Roland's
nurse packed up the luncheon basket,
and Mr. Raises walked down with the
two ladies to the road, and assisted them
most politely Into their vehicle, lifting
In the child and tho poodle, and shutting
the rickety door of the fly with as fine
an air as if it had been a spring ha
rouchc. Then he stood aside and took
off his hat to them, with tho roost de
lightful flourish and a bow which a duko
might havo envied.
"What a truly charming young man I
exclaimed Mrs. Talbot rapturously.
"I really have no patience with you,
Gertrude. What do we know about
this man? I cannot understand your
rushing at a stranger like that, asking
i him to como and see us, too.

Mr. Ralkcs did como onco, and once

was in consequence broken up; tho two
friends said good-by to tho Yorkshiro
watering place, Felicia paid tho last bill,
and they packed up their boxes and mi

CHAPTER XIII.
It was September when Kitten was
mnrrled in Frierly village church. It is
May when Mr. and Mrs. Brian Des
mond tako up their abode in tho newly
decorated town houso in Lowndes square.
All these months tho happy pair have
spent abroad. Kitten has learned and
seen more than she had ever dreamed of
in her whole life before. Sho has been
taken to- Paris and Vienna, and to Rome.
She has Been dressed by Parisian dress
makers and presented at foreign courts;
sho has become self-possessed and con
versational; she has learned to talk glib
ly about the old masters, and to under
stand the difference between modern and
antique bric-a-brac; she is qulto a con
noisseur in old laces, and already pos
sesses a valuable collection of her own,
of Venetian and Genoese point, and she
has gained that undefinable something,
that charm of manner, that grace of lan
guage, that trick of good society in which
she was possibly somewhat lacking In
the old childish days when she sat up
aloft in the cherry tree and studied
Pope's "Essay on Man" with the all
devout worship of her earnest young
soul.
But all this time has she been happy?
Has Brian indeed taught her that love
and joy are one, and that happiness
can be caught and embraced and tightly
held captive between the clinging arms
of answering affection?.
At first she believed that it was so.
To be with him daily, to share his life,
to sun herself forever in his smile and
in the glances of his eyes, was sufficient
for hor for a time. As her love grew
and increased in depth and intensity, so
did the blindness of her self-devotion
render her at first unconscious of all
save the delight of her own adoration.
But as the days and weeks went by,
she began vaguely to feel a faint chill of
disappointment. Sometimes the ardor of
her love seemed even in her own eyes
to meet with but an inadequate response.
Once or twice it happened that she pour
ed out her thoughts and her fancies, and
that he hardly understood her. At times
he was abstracted and thoughtful, and
If she rallied him upon his gravity he
would rouse himself with an effort smile
upon her, stroke her hair, kiss her pout
ing lips and tell her lightly that he was
thinking of "business."
Then, one day, there came an awaken
ing. It was a wet afternoon. They were
at Dresden, and were slowly wandering
homeward to England. They had ex
hausted the picture galleries and the
"green vaults," had listened to the organ
In the church till they were tired of it.
and wandered about the narrow streets
and hung over the bridge across the
Elbe until they knew them all by heart,
It was their last afternoon, and it was
raining heavily. Brian got sick of the
dreary grandeur of the hotel sitting room,
and clothing himself in a long waterproof
coat, went off by himself for a walk.
Presently, from sheer idleness, she be
gan touching the trifles upon her hus
band's table his silver cigarette case,
his writing case, tho little collection of
silver topped bottles and Ivory toilet Im
plements. She fingered them with loving
tenderness, as things which, for their
owner's sake, wero dear to her. His
dressing bag stood wide open upon a
chair, and just inside it was a small
square morocco case. Kitten felt a vague
wonderment that she had never before
noticed this article. She took It up and
turned it about curiously. Apparently
it was locked, but presently, quite acci
dentally, her finger touched upon a
snrintr. and tho case flew open suddenly.
It was lined with faded satin. Kitten's
heart began to beat with a strange and
Hlrkenine sensation, for what was the
meaning of these things which lay Inside?
a crumpled white glove, a bunch of
lMd violets, a tiny lace bordered cam
brie handkerchief with the faint odor of
perfume still lingeriug about it,, an oval
locket, WHICH, Willi a wiiu amazement,
aha found to contain a soft thick curl
of dark brown hair, and then, beneath
everything else, a folded letter, yellow
and faded, with written words that wero
pale with time and blotted with tears,
creased and crumpled out of all original
shape and smoothness. Half mad with
a something terrible which seemed to
Hfl nil nhoke her. Brian's wjfo read
the opening words in tho dim, faded ink
that had been dry tor years. -mj uurj
Ing," Is what she saw then no more,
for there came a heavy footstep behind
her, a rough hand that snatched the pa
per from hers, and a hoarse, angry .voice
that spoke her name.
"iTnw iinr voui'i said Brian, In a
voico of suppressed fury. He pushed her
back, snatched tho case ana us
ntimv Imiirlloil thorn all back and sanp-
ped tho spring of tho box, and thrust it
back into tho dressing bag. Then he
turned around to his wife again. Never
had Kitten seen that look of black rrige
before upon tho face she loved so well,
Slier cowered' and shrank before him,
with white, drawn features anu norror
stlcken eyes that widened Into terror as
they met him.
But she was brave, too, and she knew
that as his wife she had a right to
Ifnnaf
"I am sorry," she said, "sorry to have
onnnvpfl vou. It was by acciueni ma
opened It But since I have doas so
l&ee I bays taow things, ran rnmat
explain to me tho meaning of what I
have seen. To whom did they belong?
Who is this other woman, whoso hair,
whose glovo and handkerchief, whoso let
ter you keep so religiously? Who is
she?"
But he gavo her no answ6r; ho had
turned nway from her and was locking
up his bag. Sho watched him In silence,
and with an agony which Increased at
every moment When ho had put away
the dressing bag ho went out of tho
room, through her bedroom and Into the
sitting room beyond. Ho leaned against
the window, taking up a newspaper and
making believe to read it Kitten ltau
followed him. She stood at a llttlo dis
tance from him, whlto as doath, with
her great, sad eyes fixed upon him. Ilia
face was very dark and bitter. She
could not sco tho expression of his down
cast eyes, but she saw that tho hands
that hold tho paper shook slightly, and
that ho bit his lip under his dark mus
tache, as though struggling with some
strong and painful emotion within himself.
Thon the wlfo went and laid hor soft,
fair head upon her husband's arm, rub
bing her check gently against his coat
sleeve, and clinging to him cdaxingly
with those small, frail hands he had so
often kissed.
"Brian," sho said softly, "I know I
am only a child to you, aud I have scon
enough of tho world lately to understand
that I cannot bo tho first whom you have
loved. But am I not your wifo, aud
why should there bo any secret botween
us? Tell mo who this woman was, and
if you loved her onco, and I will speak
of It no more.
"It will bo better that you should
speak of It no more," he answered
hoarsely.
"But that is no answer to my ques-
tionu," she said, looking up wistfully
into his face.
"There can bo no answer to It," ho
answered shortly, and then added, with
a little gesturo of affection, resting his
hand against her head; "I will forgivo
you for your indiscretion, Kitten, but do
not speak of this affair again."
"Not after this onco, Brian, but I am
your wife. I havo a right to know your
past The happiness of our whole lives
depends upon this. Answer mo but this
one question."
"My dear llttlo girl; men do not like
to be cross-questioned."
"Does that mean that you refuse to
tell me who thoso things belonged to?"
"Exactly, if you like to word It so. I
refuse to tell you." He flung down his
paper upon the table, and looked at her
angrily, almost defiantly. "And now,"
he said lightly, "the rain is over. Put
on your things and let us go out"
After that, Kitten knew that she did
not possess her husband's heart. All
the sweet illusions, all the dear dreams
of love and happiness, withered up and
dwindled away into emptiness and deso
lation. She understood, with that
shrewdness which had always been a
part of her nature, that had Brian ceas
ed to love this other woman, of whom
he treasured up those faded mementoes
so tenderly and religiously, he would
have spoken of her freely and openly,
and would havo told her something,
even if not all the story of his past But
his blind anger, his overpowering emo
tion, and his obstinate refusal to answer
her questionings taught her too surely
that her husband's love for this other
woman was not a dead thing of the post
but a living, breathing reality.

of vibrating from side to side, and

that tho entity whose vibrations cause

Stacking Alfalfa.
Throughout tho western half of tho
United States alfalfa hay Is commonly
stored in stacks in the field. Alfalfa
stacks will not shed water as readily
as stacks of grass hay. In tho arid re
gions there Is llttlo danger from rains
during the season of storage, but In
humid climates It Is necessary to storo
the hay in barns or else cover the
stacks with largo tarpaulins, or thoy
may bo topped with grass. Otherwise
the percentage of wnste Is very large,
In any case there Is likely to be somo
wnste, for which renson the stacks aro
made large, thus reducing tho propor
tionate amount of waste. In tho al
falfa regions of the West tho stacks
are as high as the hay can be handled
easily and may bo 200 feet or more In
length. The size of the stacks Is then
limited chiefly by the convenience In
bringing tho bay from tho surround
