A Dead Past
CHAPTER XV.
In the month of December, when the
days were short nnd dark, and a black
frost and biting east wind made winter
hard to the young nnd unbearable to the
old, Sir Hugh Grantley shuffled off this
mortal coil and was buried in tho family
.vault in Frierly churchyard by tho side
of all th a Sir Hughs and Sir Johns and
Sir Gregorys who had preceded him. no
died as he had lived, unloved and un
regretted. His selfishness stood him in
good stead up to the last.
Ho was buried with all becoming pomp
and ceremony, and Roy, his Bon, rolgned
In his stead. But poor Roy'a reign was
but a short and troubled one In the
house of his fathers. Sir Hugh's affairs
were found to be in greatest confusion
Tho property was heavily mortgaged, the
farms had depreciated in vnluo, the rents
had been left overdue. Poverty stared
the young heir in the face. Margaret,
who had partly guessed at tho state of
things, stood by him, with her strong
mind and good common sense, to help
him through his calamities.
"There is nothing for it but to let
the house. You cannot afford to live In
It," she said ,to him.
Let Frierly! Oh, Margaretl"
"It Is the only thing to bo done, Roy;
face It like a man. If you let it well,
you will be able to live comfortably as
a bachelor in London, nnd when you
marry, you must marry well, nnd then
you will be able to come back to your
own again, pay off mortgages, put the
farms in repair, and start fresh acain
Yon see how important a good marriage
Is for you."
"You mean a rich wife. I am afraid
Hint I am not at all likely to restore
tho fallen fortunes of my family in that
way. J. lie only woman whom I could
ever have married is lost to me."
"You aro not, I suppose, going to re
main a bachelor for ever because of a
married woman!" cried Margaret, with
real irritation. She could not believe it
possible that he was still mourning over
Kitten Laybourne there are women to
whom a steadfast faithfulness appears
In the light of absolute stupidity. Was
not Kitten married and safely got out of
tho way? What on earth possessed the
boy to be thinking about her still?
"But, Roy, you are the last the very
last. It Is your duty to marry. The
baronetcy will become extinct if you do
not!" cried Margaret in despair.
"Somebody must be last, I suppose.
Just as somebody else must be first. You
are a wonderful woman nt counting your
chickens, Margaret; but, to begin with,
where is the rich wife?"
"There is Felicia."
"I am not wicked enough for her,"
said Roy, with a little smile to himself
over sundry speeches of his cousin's
which still lingers in bis memory.
Marfgaret looked indignant and severe.
"I really do not pretend to understand
the character and manners of the yonng
ladies of the present day. I am afraid
that Felicia Is becoming rather reckless
In her conversation since her father has
left her so much alone."
"Exactly, and I could not marry a per
son who was reckless, even for her
jnoney," laughed the young man.
"Well, there are plenty of rich girls
to be picked up in London, and if we
must let the Hall, we will go up to town
and live there. My own money will en
able me to take a small house; and you,
of course, will live with me. You will
be able then to live comfortably and
suitably upon the remnant that can be
saved out of the fire,, together with the
rent of the house. Yon can have your
horse and your brougham, and do every
thing that lsr- fitting to your position. As
to your food, that need never cost you
a farthing. Whatever is mine is yours."
They went up to London, and Mar
garet installed herself end her household
goods In a small house in Connaught
Square. Here, too, Roy had his own
rooms and his own belongings, and he
stayed at home as much as he liked, and
went away also as much as he felt inclin
ed. Nobody, either, could have said of
Sir Roy Urantley that he lived the life
of a woe-begone and despairing lover.
He bad plenty of friends, nnd his friends
took caro to make his life pleasant to
him.
One afternoon, In the month of May,
Roy found himself In a certain tiuy
drawing room In Mayfalr, where, In these
days, he was always sure of a cordial
welcome. Tho house altogether was of
the most minute dimensions, and was
as thoroughly dirty and dingy as "bijou"
residences within a stone's throw of Park
Lane have a habit of being. The very
door, as it was opened by the tall foot
man, seemed narrower and lower than
other people's front doors, and the foot
man himself, as he preceded the visitor
up the narrow wooden staircase, looked
too large for the house.
One end of the room was filled com
pletely with a wide, low sofa, across
which Eastern embroideries and pieces
of Italian brocade all rather dirty
were flung in careless confusion. At one
end of this sofa invariably reclined a
black poodle, at the other was his mis
tress. By Mrs. Talbot's side was a
pmali table, upon which were arranged
a hand looking glass set in silver, sev
eral bottles of perfumes of different
kinds, the poodle's silk bag of French
awoetmcats, and the photographs of her
pot admirers. To these latter Roy had
been lately added In a resplendent new
frame o crimson plush.
Gertrude, In her white muslin drap
eries, lay back among 4icr embroidered
cushions and sniffed at her salts bot
tle Felicia, who had found herself a
Btnall, low seat on the other side of the
little table, had seized upon a Japanese
fan and was agitating It violently. Roy,
upon a footstool between the two ladles,
-was mado much of by both of them,
nnd seemed to be enjoying himself
amazingly. ..., ta
"Nothing makes one bo hot as a fan,
.aid Gertrude, "Do keep that thing
till, Felicia; you set all my nerves on
"dS?t is dellclously cool and breezy out
of door.," .aid Felicia. "You frugbt to
out, Gertrude. I wUh I could drive
you, but I have promised to call for
papa."
"I am going out this very minute In a
hansom," said Gertrude, jumping up.
air ltoy, win you go with me? I am
going to pay a call. I am going to sec a
charming, lovely, delightful little woman.
Somebody quite young, quite unsophisti
cated; better than all. ouito now."
"I wouldn't go with her If I were you,
Roy," said Felicia, whon tho door had
cosed upon their hostess.
"Why not will it create a scandal If
I go in a hansom wltn tho beautiful Ger
trude?"
"Don't you know cannot you guess,
Roy, who It Is she wants you to call
upon 7 It Is Mrs. Desmond."
"Ivltten " A pause. Felicia would
not have lifted her eyes for the world;
htr glove buttons seemed to give her nn
Infinity of trouble.
"How does she know her?" Roy asked
presently, nnd she could hear that his
voico was altered.
"Oh, It Is very simple. Gertrude met
Mr. Desmond in the park two days ago,
I was with her, and he Introduced us to
his wife, and asked us to call on her.
I I would not go If I were you, Roy."
"Did she look happy?" ho nsked.
"Oh, yes. I suppose so; she was very
well dressed. You have not got over It,
I am afraid."
Mrs. Talbot came back gay and gush
ing; the hansom was summoned, and Fe
licia was driven away in her brougham.
"I I don't think I'll come with you
to-day," said the young man hesitating
ly when ho had helped Gertrude into the
hansom.
"Oh, Roy" Sho dropped tho "Sir"
when they were nlone "you promised;
oh, do come."
"Well, I will go a little.. way, then,"
arid he got Into tho cab. "You can
drop me, you know."
"To Lowndes square," said Mrs. Tal
bot. Sho had no mind to drop Roy any
where.
And Roy went with her. "I can't help
myself," ho said to himself; but it was
the old story of the moth and the candle.
Brian, on leaving his wife to go out
alone. Intended to wend his way to his
club. Had he gone there straight from
his own door, he would have received a
certain note which had been waiting for
him there all day, three hours earlier,
and so little does it take sometimes to
alter the whole history of a man's life
had he done so, it is probable that most
of the events which ensued would have
so far been changed or modified that they
would not have been fraught with cer
tain Important circumstances to himself
and to others. But as he was strolling
idly along he met an old college friend,
who hailed him joyfully and linked his
arm within his. So that it was just 7
o'clock when he turned leisurely up the
steps of his own club.
The hall porter gave him a letter as
he entered. He stood with it In his
hand without looking at it for several
minutes, talking to an acquaintance
whom he met in the hall. Then Brian
looked down at his letter, turning it
round as he did so.
And suddenly he recognized the hand
writing! It was years since he had seen
it. A whole century of new thoughts
and feelings seemed to divide him like
a yawning gulf from that other far away
life, In which those even rounded char
acters had played so important a part
It was like an electric shock to Brian
Desmond to see it once more to hold a
letter from her once again In his hands.
A letter from Rosamond! An unstamp
ed letter, too sent not by post, but by
hand. What could It mean? He had
thought of her vaguely, dimly, as a some
thing dear, yet dangerous to his peace of
mind, that was on the other side of the
world. She bad been to him but a dis
tant memory of a past which was over
forever, a something which he had hoped
and prayed might never again cross the
new life he had built up for himself.
Often he had thought of her thus, in
misty dreams, thinking that he and she
had drifted apart forever, and would
meet no more, save in that other world
where those who have loved and despair
ed shall meet again under other condi
tions, and bo perchance at last happy!
And lo! she was here at his very
doors in London alive, and writing to
him! He tore open the letter and read:
"I have come home, and am longing to
see you, I arrived late last night, and
am at the Langham Hotel. Come tp me
as soon as you receive this. I shall not
leave the bouso until I hear from you
or see you. - ROSAMOND."
He glanced quickly up at the clock.
It was tne minutes past seven. Ho tore
upstairs three steps at a time into the
writing room, and wrote two lines to his
wife.
"Do not wait dinner for me. I shall
not be back."
This he gave to a club messenger to
take to Lowndes Square, and springing
into a hansom, drove rapidly away to
tho Langham Hotel. He bad given him
self no time to think or reflect. He did
not consider whether It was a wise or
an unwise thing he was doing. A wild
joy possessed him. Rosamond was back,
and he was going to see her! He could
think of nothing else. After all" the long,
black, empty years they were to meet
again.
She was very tired of the desolate
hotel sitting room by this time tired and
weary. She had almost given him up by
now. .... . , .
"He cannot bo In town!" she said to
herself, in despair. "I wish, now, that
I had written before from Alexandria.
Does he have his letters forwarded, I
wonder and will he get my note In tho
course of time? How can I find out?
All at once her quick earB caught tho
sound of approaching footsteps along the
corridor. Bhe sprang to her feet; her
bands, womanlike, went instinctively up
to smooth her ruffled hair; her eye.
shone, her lips parted and her heart beat.
How wildly her heart beat! For he had
come at last!
Through a mist Bho seemed to Bee
him, a mist of her own glad tears. The
love of her life, whom .he had loved and
had forsaken, but to whom her faithful
heart had clung, through nil absenco nnd
time, ho, stood before her at lastl She
reached out I her hands to him; sho felt
tho strong grip of his as ho grasped them,
one lu each of his. Ho only spoko her
name hoarsely and huskily:
"Rosamond i
And she sho it was who spoko first
who found the words, poor, weak, trem
bling words that shook with tho great
ness of her joy,
"Yes; It Is I Rosamond come bnck
to you at last my Brian my only lovo
my henrt's delight never, never to bo
parted from you again. For I am free,
nnd I am your, for ever."
Oh, why why then did ho not clasp
her In hid nrms? Why did ho not drnw
her to his heart, and rain such kisses
upon her eager lips as sho had dreamed
of nnd thirsted for so long? Why did
ho stand so, and look upon her with that
awful look of deepening horror and woo
in his eyes? Why did his cold hands
slacken thus their eager hold, and fall
away at last, nerveless nnd helpless from
out of hers?
"Brian! Brian!" sho cried, with the
sharp ring of a nameless terror; "do you
not hear me? Do you not understand?
I am free!"
"You arc free?" he repeated slowly
and painfully, bringing out each word
separately with a sort of labor, as though
each one hurt him to utter. "Your
husband Is ho dead?"
"Yes, yes do you not seo my clothes?
I am a widow. Heaven forglvo me If I
am too glad, but how can I help my
joy, when, from tho day that he died,
I knew thnt I might love you onco more?
I did my duty. I was a good wife to
him, but, oh, how I suffered! But now
It is all over and I have come back to
you, and Brian! Brianl" she hroko out
wildly, for still he stood there blanched
to tho very Hps, and stared at her with
those horror-stricken eyes. "Are you not
glad? peak to me, for heaven's sake!
What Is It? Why do you look at mo
so?"
"When did ho die?" waa all ho said,
in a number, dreary voice.
"Eight months ago."
And then he flung up both arms wildly,
with an exceediug bitter cry of anguish.
"Ah, it was my wedding day!" and
fell prostrate before her upon his knees,
burying his face in his outstretched nrms.
Rosamond spoko never a word. She
stood erect nnd stiff, cold as Ice, and
motionless as marble; not a word broke
tho stillness of her agony, save those
awful choked sobs from the bowed form
at her feet. Afterward she could not
recall what she had felt and thought In
those first moments only that In eoino
vague fashion Fate was revenged upon
her. Once long ago she had ruined this
man's life, and now now it was he who
ruined hers!
(To bo continued.)
Can You Solve This?
How much greater than three
fourths is four-fourths?
At first sight it seems nn easy ques
tion, but put It to your nrltlimetlcnl
friends nnd you will probably find that
It will divide them Into two pnrtles,
one contending that the answer is one
fourth and the other as positively af
firming that It Is one-third, while both
will be ready to prove the accuracy of
their respective solutions.
The party of the first part (to use a
legal phrase) may argue their point In
this way:
Five shillings Is the fourth part of a
pound. If you have 35 shillings, or
three-fourths of a pound, nnd some
body gives you another fourth part you
have a sovereign ergo, your four-
fourths Is one-fourth greater than
three-fourths.
But this will not suit the other party
at all, nnd they will proceed scornfully
to point out that the argument is all
wrong, since if you have 15 shillings
and somebody Is generous enough to
add 5 shillings to It the donor Is only
giving you one-third of the amount you
already possess (5 times a equals ro),
therefore your sovereign is only one
third more tlinn your 15 shillings.
It Is a pretty problem, and expert
accountants have been known to wran

ft Talbot's Christmas
BY FRANCIS HART.
JAMES," said Gerry Talbot sudden
ly, looking up from tho letter he
had just received, "you needn't
mind about the rest. The dinner
will not come off, after all."
The decorated end of the big, sumptu
ous studio looked oddly distasteful to
Gerry Talbot since the rending of Miss
Wakefield's telegram, which had shat
tered his enthusiastic plans. lie had In
vited her and her brother and his wife
to a Christmas studio dinner which lm
meant to mnke as festive as possible. Of
course, Iter rejection at the last hour
had been a gentle invention prepared to
avert a, greater disappointment, for he
had let her know unmistakably how It
was with him, and he had been ho hope
ful of success that he had selected n
ring for her CliriHtinas gift a little gold
en circlet set with a clear white soli
taire. The streets were thronged with bust
ling Christiana shoppers, glad of heart,
with merry, expectant faces, and here
and there a wistful one, too, looking on,
but not buying. Talbot noticed two lit
tle girls gazing wistfully Into a confec
tioner's window.
"Yes, Min, I would. I'd do It fust
thing," said the taller of the two. "Oh,
my, wouldn't It bo nice to be rich an'
invite all your friends to a big turkey
an' Ice cream dinner!"
They were very poorly clad, thin
featured and ill-nourished, but not un
pleasant to look at. Talbot was con
scious, ull at once, of an inexplicable
impulse to gratify the child's wish.
"So you would really like to give
your friends a Christmas dinner!" said
he, smiling down nt her astonished eyes.
"I have a great mind to let you have
your wish."
"Oh, dear me, Min!" gasped Lou, "I
can't hardly believe It, can you? It
sounds just like a make-believe thing.
Won't Mis' Posey be s'prlscdl An'
Jonas an' Meg an' Tom. Oh, won't they
be jest too pleased!"
"How many shall you Invite?" Talbot
asked gravely, taking out Ids notebook.
"Well, there's Aunt Katlo an' Uncle
Tim an' the baby. Mis' I'oscy, Jonas
Hoggs, Meg an' Pat Fooley Min, can
you think of anyone else?"
"Lnmo Betsy an' Moll,"
"How niany's that?" nsked Lou.
"Twelve, counting us three."
"Don't you think it would be nlco
to have n little present beside euch
plato?" asked Talbot.
Both girls gasped, but looked Immense
ly pleased,
"Suppose you two go round with mo
and pick out what you consider suitable
for each of your guests, becnuso I should
not know whnt to select,"
When Lou appeared nt tho studio on
the following morning sho was a very
different looking girl, nnd any one would
have known by the puro Joy of her
voice that some great and festlvo event
was at hand. Talbot had finished the
decorations which had been so humbly
Interrupted by MIbh Wakefield's mes
sage, nnd tho result was extremely grat
ifying, especially after Lou's rapturous
acclamations.
At precisely 12 o'clock the bell rang
for the first time to announce tho ar
rival of Aunt Katie and Tim nnd the
baby, all polished and prinked to tho
vergo of palnfiilness. Next caino Mis'
Posey, a little, faded, bowed, undent
woman In rusty blnck, with long gold
loops in her wrinkled ears, Lnmo Betty
thumped in on her crutches, closely fol
lowed by Moll, In borrowed finery, of va
rious sizes. Meg brought blind Jonas,
and n merry little wraith of n man called
Tom Doom.
Talbot shook hands all around with
a "Merry Christmas!" after which they
all took their place, at the beautiful
table, tne like of which none of thnt
humble party had ovor looked upon. But
It was a kindly madness thnt possessed
tho host of that bountiful dinner, for
his stories woro of tho plonsnntoit and
hi. watchful caro was unflagging. HI.
guests rownrdod his effort, by a sponta
neous enjoyment of nil thnt wns set bo
foro them. It wn. good to seo them
wait upon blind Jonas, who could not
help himself, and upon lame Ilotty,
whoso crippled linmls mado dlfllcult tho
uso of knlfo and fork,
Talbot roso to replenish a half-emptied
plato as tho hnll hell thrilled merrily.
Thero was a pause, then James' quiet,
wcll-trnlncd voico said: "Yes, mad.am;
ho is at dinner In tho studio"
The door swung inward. Talbot know
that ho was not dreaming when sho
cumo toward him with outstretched
hands and a rlpplo of explanation of
which ho heard not one word. Indeed,
to him one Isolated fact filled tho world
that sho was smiling up nt him with a
grent promise In her eyes.
"A llttlo friend of initio wanted to
give her friends a Christum dinner, and
I persuaded her to let mo share It," ho
explained Jauntily. "It has been n great
treat to me."
Mis Wakefield read tho whole truth
for herself as sho looked into tho good,
homely faces that reflected their host's
praises In every glance. She said noth
ing, but her eyes told what Talbot would
hnve given n II he possessed to hear from
her lips. Then Mr. Wnltcflcld nnd his
wife ventured In, nnd Talbot bethought
himself to ask If they hnd dined, which
they hnd nut.
Lou nnd Talbot made room for threo
plates hern and there, and ns thero was
a plenty of crullers nnd turkey mid Icet
cream, nil went well to the very end of
the function, when tho eleven orlglnnlly
invited gzucsts roso nnd mndo their
ndleus with glad hearts nnd beaming
faces.
Miss Wakefield stood before the grnto
while, her brother nnd his wife examined
n row of pictures half hidden behind the
holly wreaths.
"I was so sorry to disappoint you yes
terday," she snld, "but poor Ted's tele
gram was so urgent that we were afraid
he was worse, and hadn't the heart to
refuse him. When I discovered thnt wo
could take an enrly train home I mndo
up my mind to run in nnd wish you n
Merry Christmas, anyway, and so wo
c.une. you seo."
Talbot thought of the ring. He hnd
taken It from Its hiding place. "For a
long while I hnvo wanted to nsk you to
accept this and what goes with It," ho
said simply, holding the glittering bnublo
townrd her,
A red glow crept Into her face. Hho
mndo no audible answer, hut when the
young couple at the other end of the
room sauntered toward them they wero
smiling.
CHRI8TMA8 TREE FIRES.
How the Diinuer of Tiirlnr Cnnflnurn
tloim Muy He Miiilml'.cd.
Several accidents on Christmas ere
nnd dny each year recall the fact, nppnr
ent only on thnt day, thnt the Christ
mas tree Is quite as dangerous ns It Is
Ijretty, and that the proud father per
sonating Santa Clnus should take tho
precaution to equip himself with asbes
tos whiskers. About the usual number
of fires are recorded in the country each
year as n result of the inflammable ttn
ture of the Christmas tree and Its dec
orations and their careless handling.
This warning always follows Christ
mas just as the outcry against toy pis
tols Is raised after tho Fourth of July.
Of course no rose Is free from thorns,
and apparently no holiday can be ob
served In tho conventional fashion with
out risk of accident to the merrymakers.
Sputtering caudles on a Christinas tree
are n very real danger, and the same tuny
be snld of the trees themselves, tho
wreaths of evergreen nnd the mistletoe.
A f teen day or two they become dry and
Inllaiiimahlc to a high degree, and In tho
joy of the celebration risk are run mid
precautious neglected. A tree thus load
ed down with presents and decorations
may become lu an instant a torch capa
ble of starting a disastrous fire, as many
cities discovered the other duy, to their
great cost ami to the Hcrlous discomfort
of their fire departments.
By taking preventive measures thou
sands of dollars will he saved every year.
Trees should be bought lute and kept
out doors until used. In the case of
fresh, green trees the risk will be min
imized. Candles should not ho too close
together and should be constantly patch
ed. Above nil, a wet blanket should
be at hand, also a sponge on n pole long
enough to reach any point of the trees
or celling. So, at least, say the 11 ro
fighters, who every year have their own
Christmas spoiled by the neglect of theso
very obvious precautions.
Old ldons About Ctirlntinns.
Kvcn as late as 175:1 there was some
doubt as to the exact date of Christmas,
tho old count bringing It to the 5th of
January, the new count giving us the
U5th of December, which Is "the day wo
celebrate." In Devonshire, Knglrtnd, it
is believed that' If tho sun shines nt noon
on Christmas day n plentiful crop may
be looked for In the following year.
