    A Dead Past
Dy MRS. LOVETT CAMERON
CHAPTER XXVIII.
Felicia sat nlonc in the Inn sitting
room nt Smnckton. Miss Qrnntlcy and.
Gertrude linil taken a fly niter brcnkfnst
and gone out for a drive together. They
had been rather mysterious over the
business.
There was a knock at tho door, and
the old waiter popped in his rough white
head sideways:
"Yes, sir," he said, half " turning back
to somebody behind him, "the lady is in.
'A gentleman, ma'am, to seo you."
Ho threw wide open the door, and
somebody, tall and slight, clad in a long
overcoat, canio out from the gloom of
tho passage without into the-gathering
twilight of tho sitting room. 'For a mo
. ment she peered at him, not seeing who
it was; then suddenly she recogniezd
him, and her heart beat wildly.
"Mr. Ualkes. Is it you?"
He took her proffered hand and shook
It warmly, murmuring some half con
fused words of greeting.
"How on earth did yo't come here?
What brings you to Smackton? And how
did you learn that I was here?"
"I was travehug north. I heard ac
cidentally from a fellow passenger in
the same carriage that you were staying
here."
"I am very glad to see you," she an
swered, heartily, and with perfect self
composure, for women act these scenes
much better than men do, and sho would
not have betrayed her agitation for an
empire.
"How well she looks," thought Edgar,
"and how beaming; it is easy to seo that
ehc is perfectly content." Aloud he said:
"Do you know who my fellow traveler
turned out to be?"
"I cannot imagine," she replied.
"Mrs. Talbot's husband. He is down
stairs in the coffee room. They told
him his wife was out; he has come here
to look after her."
Felicia laughed. The situation was
really delightful.
. "What a piece of good luck," she cried
gayly. "I never heard of his turning up
appropriately in his life before. If only
he will take her away, for she Is a thorn
in my side."
"How well you look! I need not ask
you how you are. And your husband, he
Is quite well, I hope?"
Felicia started. "My husband!" she
repeated, in a strange voice of wonder
ing bewilderment "What on earth do
you mean?"
He looked at her with a surprisde and
f startled face. "I I mean Sir Uoy," he
said stiimtneringly.
"Sir Roy is my cousin, Mr. Raiktfs;
not my, husband!"
"But you were engaged to him, were
you not, when I left England? I was
told of It it was for that that I went
away, and you yourself would not bid
me stay; and when I heard it I thought
that I understood your meaning. Surely,
surely I could not have made so terri
ble Ji mistake!"
"It was no mistake. I was engaged
jfc Roy for one month. Perhaps, had
;yac not gone away however, our en
gagement was broken off."
"I never heard of it," ho said breath
lessly. "I believed, that you were mar
rrled. But tell me why why was it
. .broken off?"
"I never meant to marry him. Some
Jiay, perhaps, if you care to hear the
elucidation of the mystery, I will explain
tit all to you; it Is a long story. To be- j
igin with, I did not love him," she stam
zared slowly, with downcast eyes. Then
there was a pause. "Is not that enough?"
' -"Felicia," vho said, below his breath.
"Will you ever marry anybody?"
"Perhaps if if I ever lovo any
body." "Will you then ever learn to love
anybody?" ,
"If anybody cares to inquire, well
then, perhaps I will tell him."
CHAPTER XXIX.
"Brian Desmond went home alone. lie
was glad that his cousin had left him.
As he drew nearer to the end of his
journey, he felt that he would never
have been able to endure his presence.
As they drove up the last hill through
the park it was almost dark, nnd out
of the wet, with fog, the long facade
-with its many windows loomed out upon
him with a suddeuness that was almost
startling.
There was a wonderful stillness as the
dog cart drew up. Ho noticed one light
that burnt brightly and Keenly out of a
lower room. It was the octagon cham
ber; he could see no other sign of life.
He glanced upward toward the bedroom
windows, but all seemed dark above.
Softly the front door opened, and In
the warm radiance of the crimson por
tiere curtains, he saw, with a certain
surprise, that Roy Grantley stood there
to welcome him. There was no time for
words. Glancing at him as he eiitered,
Brian noticed that be was very thin and
gaunt, with great, hollow circles under
his eyes and an almost famished look
of haggardness and despair in his aspect.
"Gome quickly," he whispered, and
turned round and led the way across
the hall.
Roy stopped at a door at the end of
the passage. It was tho octagon room
where he had seen the bright light in the
.-.T.. .1 ...
"Am I too late? murmured Brian,

"I fear so," said Roy, and turned the
handle or tue uoor.
Wltblu was' the silence of the grave

Kat bent over them; the Hps were half
oneB. mil boverlng upon their til
way outline", but the strange, wonderful
Si with their tal of unspkblt woe
and sadness werb closed forever more.
Kitten Desmond had looked her last up
on this troublesome world, and tho "poor
play" of her life was at an end.
In Kepplngton churchyard was a tall,
gleaming white cross, fresh from tho
sculptor's hands; whlto marble lilies curl
ed about its base, and the gilded letters
of Kitten's name flashed and glittered
in tho April sunshino upon its. outstretch
ed arms. At tho ,foot of tho grave a
man stood, bare-headed, with hands
clasped together, gazing earnestly at the
cross.
"Catherine Elizabeth Desmond," he
murmured, half aloud. Could that in
deed bo Kitten? , The very name sound
ed strange and unreal In his ears; he re
membered how, long ago, she had told
him that was how her name would be
written upon her tombstone.
Now, as he stood motlonloss, there
came soft steps behind him across the
daisy spangled grass, a hand was passed
through his arm, and, turning with a
start, he fouud that Rosamond was by
his side.
"You, Brian?" sho said gently. "I am
glad to have met you here, for I am
going away. She laid a wreath of ex
quisite white hothouso flowers upon the
grave at her feet.
For some mdmonts they stood motion
less together, with hands clasped togeth
er. Then Brian spoke a little brokenly.
"Rosamond, since I havo suffered so
much, I havo perhaps learned a little,
too. Is lifo to be indeed over for you
and for me? We cannot undo the past,
but at least wo .could, perhaps, bo happy
in tho future; is there no hope that you
can give me?"
Then thero rose a delicate bloom like
the tint of a pale, wild roso in her
cheeks. She dropped her hand, and with
a swift gesture pointed away across the
low churchyard wall into the lano be
yond. A carriage stood waiting for her
under tho tender green of the overarch
ing trees. There was luggage on the
top of it, and leaning over the wall, not
looking at them, but away toward the
blue valley below, which ho contem
plated with a pleased dreaminess, was
the slight figure of a man with an iron
gray mustache; a man whoso face he
seemed to recognize, like a vision out of
an evil dream.
"Brian," said Rosamond, gently, "that
is my husband. I was married this morn
ing to Col. Trefusb. We are on our
way to the station, and we havo driven
around by Kppington because I wanted
to leave these flowers here. I could
not bear not to say good-by to her grave
on my wedding day."
"All is over, then, for me In this
world," ho said at last gloomily and
wearily.
"Yes, if lovo were all," she answered
quickly, "but it is not. You said just
now that the past cannot bo undone and
you were right Brian, life is not a
toy that we can play with, to fling
aside its puppets and pick them- up
again just as wo fancy. That which
we have done In the past, that we can
not alter: the actions that we have tak
en upon ourselves, those we are forced
to accept as our portion forever, and
neither repentance nor regret, nor yet
oceans of bitter tears can ever wash
away those things, which by our own
doing we have rendered Irrevocable. One
thlpg, and one only, can ever sweeten
and sanctify a life that such errors
havo darkened the life, that by own
own free will we have marred, we must
abide by for good or for evil; but we can
at least devote it not to ourselves, but
to others. The last, sad lesson which
sorrow has the power to teach us is unselfishness.".
He raised her hand to his lips, and
they parted this time forever.
So these three, who had loved, and
sinned, and sorrowed, were parted, but
the happiest of tho three was surely
Kitten, lying still and cold beneath the
shadow of her marble cross.
for lot of things I never gft any pleas
ure out of," her husband haA said to
her. "I've kopt you m your little box
in Mayfair quite long enough, Gorty(
and you've had your fun nnd your flirta
tions, and your frocks and your jewelry,
till I am suro you must be getting tired
of it all. You are no longer so sow,
as you were," co'ntlnued her spouse, with
that unpleasant outspokenness which only
n husband dare use to a woman who
Is still handsomo and attractive; and
it's time, I think, that you should con
sider my comfort and nettle down a bit;
and I can't live where it's all dress and
show and keeping up of jippeuranccs.
Give mo -a free life in a fine, open coun
try and pleuty of sport; that's what 1
want. And that Is why 1 havo bought
tho nicest littlo property In South Caro
lina for a mero song, snug houso and
all Included; and I'm going to tako you
there, right away; so pack up your traps
and mi ko no moro fuss about it."
So, kinldst torrents of angry but to
tally unavailing tears, Gertrudo did
"pack up her traps." Tho tali footman
was sent away, the smart lady's maid
handed on to another situation, and tho
ttttln htlmi.linnsn in Mavfalr let as It
kstood, furniture and all, tonn enterpris
ing young widow in search ot a nuuauio
number two. And the very day after
HVllMn'n trmMlnir. Mr. nnd Mrs. Talbot
set sail from the shores of England; and
her bold, handsome face nnd free tongue
and mischief-loving eyes were seen no
moro In her familiar haunts.
But Sir Rov Grautley never married.
An tho vnrs wont oii he stayed more
and moro at tho White Cottago with his
sister, going over to Frierly dally, super
intending tho shooting, looking after tho
keepers and keeping his hunters up nt tho
big house. He is on the best or terms
with his tenants, and a very strong nnd
solid friendship" has grown up between
himself and his cousin's husband, mu
ho will never marry; ho is still faithful
to the love of his youth, and when he
dies the namo and property will pass
away to a distant cousin, who Is a stran
ger to him.
The lesson of his young wife s death
was not entirely thrown away upon
Brian Desmond; lovo for him was over,
but he schooled himself to believe that
there was something in life' still left
for him to do. Ho never snw Rosa
mond Trefusls again; their lives ran far
apart. Nevertheless her parting words
wero often in his mind, and her parting
injunction in time boro its fruit in his
life.
To live for others, nnd to Icnrn un
selfishness, that had been Rosamond's
lesson; and Brian did not forget it,
He went into Parliament, where ho
soon made for himself an honorable
nnmo for tho deep interest ho took in
nil schemes of philanthropy. He wns
an ardent champion of the wrongs o
seamen, an advocate for tho Improved
dwellings of the poor. A zealous reform
er of all abuses that weigh hardly upon
tho weak and friendless. His whole soul
after a time, became absorbed in these
matters, so that new interests, new Occu
pations, a new llfo arose out of them
from the ruins of his past and a nobler,
better existence opened out by degrees
to" him. But lovo never touched him
again. In Kitten's grave", in tho last
sad touch of Rosamond's band, nnd tho
last glance of her compassionate eyes,
lay all tho withered romanco .of Brian
Desmond's Dead Past
(Tho end.)
CHAPTER XXX.
Tn Tinv n Ronse of sad neace came
.inirr ihnn tn nnv one else. Kitten
had been the dream,. the very religion of
his life. Iu losing her he seemed for
a time to be uprooted out ot bis ordinary
existence, to such a degree that ho could
not believe that he would ever be able
to resume his life. For many months
wanderlni: about in
foreign countries, carrying with him ev
erywhere his load or wreicneuness anu
i. Anri vpt. even to him. there
camo In time the conviction that Kit
ten's death miglit, percnance, unng 10
nnnrn nf mind than ever her

life could havo done. Ho refused with
an obstinacy which wa almost an oi
fense, to be present at Felicia's wedding,
which took place on tho first of June
that followed after Kitten's death.
mi, y.oiiiinf? was an exceptionally
quiet one. A few Intimate friends, her
father, and her cousin .uargarei, umy
formed tho little group which gathered
at an unusually early hour in the dull
looking church, In which she selected to
be married to Edgar. And besides these
thero was one elegant and disconsolate
woman who, In a mazy costume of whlto
lace and pale gold silken draperies, knelt
dissolved In tears throughout tho cere
many. They were tears drawn from
the very bottom of her miserable bejirtl
And there was a -tall personago, with
a red beard, at her elbow, who grinned
unfeelingly over these heart-broken wall-

THE CAPITOL A8 A WHOLE.
Why It Foils to Conform with Kkbch-
tlaln of Kenlly Great Architecture.
It Is not the contention even of jn-
thuslnsts that the Capitol Is, or cviu
will be. n complete and perfect whole.
Thero is littlo hope that It will ever bo
entirely finished, and still less that It
may attain perfection. Apropos of tho
dome, for Instance, It may bo reealfed
that the rhetorical and fastidious Rus
kin does not admit of Iron as a con
structive material, and on thoso
grounds inveighed disdainfully against
the spire of Rouen Cathedral. Purity
and nettishness aside, there are other
reasons why tho building falls to con
form with the essentials of really
great architecture. As far aB tho In
terior is concerned, the situation is
anything but sublime, nnd It Is hen'co
a pleasure to know that Elliott Woods,
superintendent of tho Capitol build
ing and grounds, has under advise
ment a proposition for tne renaoiilta
tion of the Rotunda. Yet tho faults
of the Capitol appear In a measure In-
evltuhlo to those who know and treas
ure Its history. Looked at broadly,
they aro riot faults, but merely vener
able shortcomings Incidental to growth
and development Considering tho Im-
nrirtmice of the prospective alterations
and extensions, tho evolution of tho
hniiriins seems to have entered upon
nn nnnroxlmntely flnal stage, and It Is
gratifying to know that Congress, tho
superintendent and the consulting
architects reallzo tho dignity and seri
ousness of the task In hand. Some
thing of tho old simplicity should
guide and chasten each effort. To tills
simplicity should also bo added a rev
erence for thoso traditional ideals and
aspirations which are, happily, a
country's or an Individual's most cher
ished heritage.
The panorama, once its several fea
tures aro supplied, will present a ma
jestic nnd Inspiring spectacle. Grouped
about the spacious court will bo flvo
superb structures tho Capitol on tho
west, tho Senato nnd House offlco
buildings to tho north and south, and
the Congressional Library and Its com
panion on tho east. To tho averago

Tho Stnll-Kod Cow.
ScAnchow many dairymen have
reached tho wrong conclusions when
reading of dairy farms whore tho
cows aro stall-fed tho year round. It
by no means Is intended thnt tho
cows shall have no outdoor exercise;
on tho contrary, except for cowa that
are on pasture entirely during tho
Hummer, few cows are moro Intelli
gently exercised nnd proper ventila
tion furnished them than stnll-fed
animals properly brought up. At regu
lar hours tho animals are turned Into
commodious barnyards for air and
exercise. During tho winter this out
door exercise Is ns carefully looked
after as during tho summer, and, In
the majority of cases, the cows oc
cupy only sleeping hours and milking
hours In their separate stalls, tho bal
ance of the time being spout In largo
sheds.
Don't be afraid of tlio fresh nlr for
your animals during the winter; seo
that they havo all tho outdoor exer
cise the weather will permit, but more
than all, see that the stables aro
properly ventilated and aired. Thero
are a number of devices for this pur
pose, and ono of the best of them Is
the window frame covered with mus
lin. Remember that clone confinement
and foul air predispose the cow to tu
berculosis, nnd that fresh air and plen
ty of U will enable her to do her shnro,
not only as a milk producer but as a
mother.

C'nrlnu for Kurly Chirk.
Evtry one who raises poultry for egg
production realizes tho value of tho
early hatched chick. Unfortunately,
many of the early hatched chicks die,
from various causes, but It Is worth
considerable trouble to tako nil the
precuutlons possible to rnlso all the
hicks that are born healthy. Ono of
the best methods of doing this l to pro
vide a special liouso for tlio turns and
their broods. Such a house should bo
low, not ex)eiislve, and built so that
tho greatest possible amount of sun
light can enter It If this sunlight Is
admitted through glass placed close to
the floor care must bo taken to cover
this glass at night
Tho space for each hen nnd her
brood need not bo large, four feet
square would bo ample, just enough
to provldo plenty of room for exercise
on the part of the chicks. If this room
for exercise Is given the chicks wjll not
huddlo so closely about tho mother In
cold weather, but will run nround, bask
In tho sun and pick up small grain if It
Is placed where they can got It, In tho
chaff on the floor. All this Is troublo,
of course, hut it makes strong, healthy
chicks and reduces tlio number of
deaths among early hatched chicks to
a minimum.
