A week 1ms parsed by. I nm more In lovn tlimi over. I inn now satlsllcd as to tint thoroiiKlint'HS of my passion; cer tain that tills thorough lovo of mine will riitlnro its lout? as my life; Hint It is no transient litis)) to tilde nwuy with tiinoor absence. Whether my milt be wiccp.ssfiil or not this womnn will bo my first nml lust love. Ah jet I lmvo inntlo llttlo progress in the furthering of my desire. IscoJicr every day, because J wnteh forhercom Iiik mid koIiir; nml every time I see her I find fresh charms in her face and graces' In her Hku re. Yet Kcnyonwns rlnhU Hers Is u tH'ciiIlnrfltyle of beauty. That imle.puro iitco.thoso dark.drcamy, far-nwny eyes, are out of tho common run of womanhood. It may be this ac counts for the strange fascination she has for me. Her carriage )h upright and graceful; she walks always at the snmo pace; her face Is always gravo, and it wins to mo she seldom speaks to that old companion or servant who never quits her side. I nm beginning to look upon her as a riddle, and wonder if tho key will ever bo mine. I have found out some few things tiltoiit her. Her niimo is Paulino a sweet and suitable name I'aullno March. She is therefore Knirllsh. al though I sometimes heartier saying a few words in Italian to flirt Teresa, tier servant. .She seems to know no one, and, so far as 1 can lenrn.no one knows more about her than I do I, nt least, know she came from Tin in, and that is more than my Informants were aware of. I still occupy my rooms, waiting my chance, ft Is tantalizing to livo in the Miino house with tho onnjou lovonnd find no opportunity of even commenc ing the siege. That old Teiesn gunrds hpr chnrgellko u thorough-bred Spanish duenna. Her dark eyes glance miickiy and suspiciously at me whenever I meet the two women, and bid them tho good morning which u fellow-lodger may venture upon. As yet I have got no further than these cold civilities. Pau lino's eyes-nnd manner give mo no en couragement. She acknowledges my salutation gravely, distantly and apa thetically. It Is clear to me that love at first sight Is not bound to lie recipro cal. I comfort myself by thinking that Fate must have something In store for me, or I'miline and I would never luivo been brought face to face again. So all I can do Is to lurk behind tho thick red curtains of my window and watch my love, guarded by that old cat Teresa, go out nnd come In. I am ob liged now to exercise duo caution In this proceeding, as the duenna once caught sight of me, and now each time they pass I seo her fierce eyes peering into my hiding place. I am beginning to hato Teresa. Vet If I have done little, I am in tho Mime house, breathing tho samo air us I'aullno, nnd I nm u patient man and ran wait for my oppoitunlty. It will I mi sure to come nt last. This Is how It came. One evening I heard a fall, a clatter of china and aery of distress. I ran out of my room and found Teresa lying on the stairs amid the ruins of the landlady's best tea-set. and gioaniug earnestly. My clinnco bad come! With tho shameless hypocrisy of love, I ran to her aid. as eager to help her as though nho had been my mother. I en deavored, In the most tender manner, to rnlso her; but she sank kick, wailing out something about, "one of w foota broke." It was clear that Teresa's Kngllsli was not her strong point: so 1 asked her la Italian what was the matter. .Sho brightened up as she hoard her own Itui gungo.nnd I found Hint she had sprain ed her kneo so sowuely that she was un able to rise. I told her that I would carry her to her loom, and without more ado picked her up and bore her up-stnliT. Pauline was standing on the lauding. Her large dark eyes weie opened wide, her whole nppeni mice that of affilglit. I paused a moment ami explained what had happened, then I took the old wo man into the room which she occupied ami laid her on tho bed. The servant of the house was sent for a doctor, and, iw-l letlred, Paulino thanked mo unlet ly, but I fancied listlessly, for my kind ness. Those dreamy eyes met nune.yet scarcely seemed to know It. Yes, I was obliged to confess It, my goddess was In manner apathetic but then, her beauty! Those refined tegular featuies, the girlish but well-formed llguie- the thick brown hair, even those strange dark eyes. Surely llieio was no woman in tho world to compare with her. Sho gave mo her hand at parting a small well-formed soft hand. I could scarcely tefniln from piesslngmy lips to It I could scarcely refrain from tell ing her then and there that for mouths I had thought of her and her only but injudicious as such piocccdlugs might have been at a first meeting they would have been doubly so whilst old Teiesa was lying and, In spite of herpalns.wlth suspicious eyes watching every move ment of mlno: so I could only express a wish to bo of further service to her and Ihiw mvself out discreetly. Hut the ice was broken our hands had met. Pauline and I weiestraugers no longer! Old Teresa's sprain, although not such a serious attaints she fancied, kept her Indoors for several days. I hoped thisSvould enable mo to Improve my acquaintance with her mistress, but tho testilt was not commensurate with tho hoH). For the first few days Pauline, so far m I kttew.dld not leave the house. Once or twice I met her on tho stairs and, assuming tU'titiotu Interest in tho old woman, kept her Inconveroa Hon for a minute or two. It seemed to mo that sho was painfully shy so shy that the conversation I would fain have prolonged, after a little whlhullol a itiittiiul death. I was not conceited enough to attribute hex shyness and re ticence to the same cause which inmle me blush and stammer as I spofte to her. At Inst, one morning I saw her leave (he house alone. I took mv hat and fol io wisl her. Sho was walking up and down the pavement in front of the house, 1 joined her, and, after the usual Inqulrv for Teresjt.contlnutMnt her side. I muM make an attemot to estaldish matters on a uettcr rooting between us. "You havo not been long in England, Miss MarchV" I said. "Some time some months," sho ic plicd. "I saw you In tho spring at Turin in church, nt San Giovanni." Sho raised her eyes nnd met mlno willin strnngo puzzled look. "You were there with your old eer vnnt onc.mornlng," I continued. "Yes wo often went thero." "You aro English I suppose your name is not no Italian onoV "Yes, I am English." Sho spoke as though not quite certain about it or as if It wnsa matter of complete indifference. "lour homo is here you are not go ing back to Italyr l'I don't know I cannot tell." Pauline's manner wns very unsatisfy ing. I mndo many attempts to learn something about her habits nnd tastes. Did she play or sing wns sho fond of music, of pictures, of Mowers, of the slngo, of traveling? Hud she many io lations and friends? Directly or indi rectly. I asked her all these iiuesllons. Her replies were unsatisfactory. Either pin- evaded the questions, as if determined I should know nothing about her. or she did not seem to un derstand them. Many of them I felt ntiro pti7.7led her. At the end of our llttlo promenadu she remained as great n mystery to mo as beloie. Tho only comfort j could tako was thai sho dis played no wish to shun mo. W parsed nnd repassed tho house several times, but she did not suggest re-entering, ns she might have done had she wished to get rid of mo. There was no trace of coquetry In her manner quiet and re served as I found her, sho was at le.ist simple and natural and showasvetv beautiful, ami I was very, very much m lovel It was not long before I discovered that old Teresa's lilnek eyes were watch ing us from behind the blind of the drawing-room. Sho must havo crept from her bed to see that her charge gut Into no mischief. 1 chafed nt the espion age, but as yet it was looeai ly toescape ftom it. Ueforo Teresa could hobblo out of doors 1 had met Pauline mine than onec In tho same way. She seemed. I was glad to believe, pleased when I iolued lier. Tho dlillculty I lalsired under was to make her talk. She would listen to all I had to say without comment ami without teply, rave jes. or no. If, by a tare chance, she asked a Ipiestlon or spoke it longer sentence than usual the elfoit was never sustained. I attributed a great deal of this to shjnews and to her secluded life for the only pcron nho had to speak to was that ten Ible old Teresa. Although cveiy word and action of Pauline's told me pIiowiih well-educated and welMired. 1 was certainly surpriS' ed at her Ignorance of literature. I quoted an author, mentioned n Ixiok b nnme, tho icmurk passed unnoticed; or she looked at mo as If pii7.7.lod by my allusion, or distressed at her own Igno rance. Although I had now seen her several times, 1 was not satisfied at the progress I had made. I knew I had not its vet stt tick tho key-notoof her nature. Ah soon as tho old servant, duenna, friend, or whatever she was, grew well, 1 heard some startling news. My land lady asked me if I could recommend her apartments to tiny friend of mine such another as myself she wan good enough to say Miss March wasgolngto leave, and tho landlady thought she would prefer taking n gentleman In her place. I felt certain this wasu eounteimovo of that-old hag Teresa's. Sho had cast venomous glances at mo when we pass ed each otherouthe stairs; had respond ed surlily when I asked her if she had quite roeovered from tho effects of her accident In a word, I know she was my enemy; that sho hnd disco vcied my feel ings toward Paulino and was doing her best to keep us apart. I had 116 means of knowing tho extent of her power or lullucnco over tho girl, but I had some timo slnco censed to regard herns noth ing moro than a sonant. The lutein f;enco that my fellow-lodgers wero about o quit showed mo that to bring my lovo for Paulino to a successful issue, I must In some way mako matters straight with this unpleasant old ntteudaut. That samo evening, as I heard her coming down the stairs, I threw open my door and stood face to fticowith her. 6Slgnora Teresn," I said, with high Mown politeness, "will It please you to step into my room? I wish to speak to you." Sho gave monqulck suspicious glance, but nevertheless complied with my re quest. I closed tho door and placed a chair for her. "Your poor knee Is it qulto well?" I asked sympathetically, and In Italian. "It Is quite well," slio replied laconic all v. "will you tako a glass of sweet wine? I have some here." Teresa, In splto of our inimical lela tions, made no objection, m I tilled a glass and watched her sip It approv ingly. "IstheSiguoilna Miss March well? 1 have not seen her to-day." "Sho is well." "It Is about her 1 wish to speak to I ....J.,A.I llntl Jim Jim uuvi1 uiiivwii unit.- ' Ml I.T. ... ....,.. ...I It a ul..i iii.il.-.. J I IllltU lll.V.111 I.. i. fill) (-('ntl Teresa gave mo a sullen, defiant look. "Yes.w I continued, "our vigilant, faithful eyes havo seen what I have no wish to conical. 1 love the Slgnorltm Pauline." "Sho is not to bo loved," .slid Teresi, sulkily. "tVie so beautiful must be loved. 1 love lier and w 111 nun ry her." "Sho is not to be mat rled." "Listen, Teresa. I say I will mairy her. I am a gentleman and rich. I have Nt.ooo lire u ear." Tho amount of my income, magnifi cent whun reduced to her native coin age, was not without Unexpected effect. If her eves, as they met mine, were as unfriendly as ever, their look of aston ishment and Increasing respect told me I was ameallng to her lenderest fetihi" cttpldity. "ow tell me whv 1 should not marry tho slgnorlna? Tell mo who hei friends aro that I may see them titui .t her m marriage?" "She is not for marriage." Tills was all I could get ftrMU th old woman. Sho would tell me nothing about Pauline's family or fi lends. Sho sould only lelternto that she was not for lovo or for marriage. I hnd but one clianco left. Teres. 's eager look when 1 mentioned the in come 1 possessed had impressed me. I must condescend to tho vulgar act of direct bribery; the end would justify the means. As I was so oftcu traveling it cai my habit to carrv a large sum or money on my ferran. t drew out my pocket-lniok nnd counted out n hundred vmiiihU in new crisp notes, leresa eyea tnem hungrily. "You know what theso nro worth?" I Bald. Sho nodded. I pushed a couplo of tho notes toward her. Her skinny hand seemed twitching with tho deslro to grasp thorn. 'Tell mo who Miss March's friends aro nnd tako theso two notes; nil tho rest shnll bo yours on tho dny we nro mnrricd." Tho old womnn sat silent for uwhlle, but I know temptation was nssniling her. Presently 1 henrd'her murmur ing, "60,000 lire! 60,000 Hro n yenrl" Tho Bpoll worked. At last sho roso. "Aro you going to tako tho money?" I nsked. "I cannot. Idnronot. Inm bound. Hut " "Hut whnt?" "I will wrlto. I will say what you say to 11 dottoro." "Who Is tho doctor? I can writo to him or sco him." "Did I say il dottore? It was a slip. No, you must not write. I will nsk him and ho must decide" "You will writo at onco?" "Atonco." Teresa, with a lingering glance nt tho money, turned to leave mo. "You had belter tako theso two notes," I said, handing them to her. Sho buttoned them In tho bosom of her dress with feverish delight. "Tell me, Teresa," I said coaxlngly, "tell ma If you think If tho Slgnorlna Paulino cat es at all for mo?" "Who knows," answered tho old wo man, testily; "I do not know butagain I say to you sho is not for love or mar riage." Not for lovo or marriage! I laughed aloud us I thought of tho old woman's absurd and oft-repeated assertion. If on tho earth thero was ono womnn moro than another made for love and mar riagoltwas mv beautiful Pauline. I wondered what Teiesn could mean; then romembeiing tho fervor with which sho prnyed In San Giovanni I de cided that, being an ardent Hoinnti Catholic, sho wished Paulino to tako tho veil. This theory would explain everything. Now that I had bought Teresa I look ed forw.'tid to tho enjoyment of Pau lino's society without esplonago or In terruption. The old woman had takou my money, uud no doubt would do her best to earn more. If I could persuade tho girl to let mo pass several hours of each day in her company I need fear no hlndrnuco fiom Teresa. The bribe had been accepted, uud, although I blushed at tho expedient to which I had been compelled to resoit, It hud been success ful. 1 was obliged to defer any fut liter at tempt at love-making until tho noxt evening, as an Important pleco of busi ness had to be attended to in tho morn ing. It kept me away from home for several hours, and when at Inst I re turned, to Miilila vale I was thunder struck to hear that my fellow lodgcis hnd left tho Iidiim). The landlady had no men wiiuncr inoy una gone, leresa, who it appeals always acted ns purso bearer, hud paid her dues nml had do parted with lier young mlstiess. Thero was nothing more to tell. I throw myself into my chnlr,curslng Italian guile; yet, as I thought of Ital ian cupidity, not altogether hopeless. Perhaps Teresa would write or come to mo. I had not forgotten the eager looks sho cast upon my money. Hut dny aft er day passed without letteror message. I spent those days, for the most part, wandering about the streets in tho vain hope of encountering tho fugitives. It was only after this second loss that I really knew tho extent of my passion. I cannot desctibo the longing I had to seo that fair face onco more. Yet I feared tho lovo was all on my side. If Pau line had felt even a passing interest in mo sho could scatcely have left in this secret and mysterious manner. Her heart was vet to bo won, audi knew that utiles- I won It no woman's lovo would to i to bo worth having. I sliouii have leturiml to my old lodging In U'alpole stteet had It not been that I feared to quit Malda vale, lest Teresa, if Mio should bo faithful to her engagements, might inks me. So I lingeied on there until ten days went slowly by: then, just ns I was beginning to despair, a letter came. It was wiltten in a delicate pointed Italian si vie and signed Manuel Ceneri. It slmilv said that the writer would have tut) liouorof cullitigupou mo about noon to-day. Nothing was hinttsl at as to the ob ject of the visit, but I know it could bo connected with out v one thing the de sire of mv heart. Teresi, after all, hnd not plnved me false. Pauline would be mine. I waited with feverish impatience until this unknown Manuel Ceneti should makcJiis appearance. A few minutes after twelve ho was announced and shown Into my room. I rocognlypd him at once. lie was tho middle-aged man witlt rather round shoulders who had talked to Teresa mi dor the shade of San Giovanni at Turin. Doubtless he was "il dottore" spoken of by the old woman its being the atblter of Paulino's fate. He bowed olitelv as he entered, cast one quick look at me us II' trying to gather what he could from my personal oppearauee, then seated himself lit the chair I offered him. "I make no ajmlogy for calling." ho said; "you will no doubt guess why I conio His English was lluent, but the foreign accent very marked, "I nope I guess corrects ," I replied. "I am Manuel tVncii. I am a doctor b profession. My sister was Miss Match's mother. I have come from tieneva on your account." "Then ou kpowwhat tho wish tho gteat wisli of my llfo is?" "Yes, I know. You want to marry my niece. Now, Mr. Vaughan, I have many leasons for wishing my niece to remain single, but your proposal has induced me to reconsider (be matter." Paulino might have been a bale of cotton, so Impassively did her uncle speak of her future. "In the first place," ho went on. "I urn told you are well horn and rich. Is that so?" "My family is respectable. I am well connected and mav bo called rich." "You will satisfy moon the latter point, i suppose. I bowed stiffly . and taking a sheet of Sill tea paper wrote a line to my solicitors osk- tig iik them to give tho bearer the fullest inroi mailon as to mv resources, teneri folded up tho note and placed it in hU pocket. Perhaps I showed tho anuoy iinco I felt at the necessary exactness of his inquiries. ' ... "I am twuiid to bo particular in this matter," ho said, "as my niece has noth ing." "I expeet nothing or wish for noUi Uig." "She had money once-s large for tune. It was lost long ago. You will not afc how or whenO" "i can onlv repeat my former words." "Vcrv well I feel I have no light to refuse yoilr offer. Although sho is half Italian iter manners nnd habits are En glish. An Kilglish htiBband will suit lier best. You lmvo not yet, I believe, spoken of lovo to her?" "I havo had no opportunity. I should no doubt havo douo sobut ns soon as our acquaintance commenced sho was taken away." "Yes, my instructions to Teresa wero strict. It was only on condition sho oboyed her that I allowed Paulino to livo In England." Altnotigh this man spoko as ono who had absolute authority over hlsnlcco. ho had not said ono word which ovinccu affection. So far ns that went, sho might havo been n stranger to him. "Hut how, I Htipposo," I wild, "I shall be allowed to seo her?" "Yes on conditions. Tho" mnn who marries Paulino March must bo con tent to tako her assho is. Ho must nsk no (luestiotis. seek to know nothing of her birth and family, nothing of lier early days. IIo must bo content to know that sho Is n lady, that sho is very beautiful, and that ho loves her. Will tins KtllllcO?" ' Tho question was such a strange ono that even In tho height of my passion I hesitated. "I will say this much." added Ceneri. "she Is good and pure lier birth Isequal to your own. She is an orphan and lier onlv near lelnt ve is myself." "1 urn content." I cried, holding out my hand to seal the compact. "Give mo Paulino, I ask no mote." Why should I not bo content? What did I want to know about her family, her antecedents or her history? So madly did I long to call that beautiful girl mlno that, I believe hndOnorl told mo she was worthless and disgraced among women. I should have said, "givo her to me and let her begin life nuowtis my wife." Men do such things for lovel ''Now, Mr.Vtiuglian,"saidtlieItnlinn, drawing his hand from mine; "my noxt question will astonish you. You love Paulino and I bellevo sheis not indiffer ent to you " IIo paused, uud my heart beat at the thought. "Will your arrangements penult an euily marriage mi immediate mar riage? Can 1, upon my return to the Continent in n few days, leave her fu ture In your hands entirely?" "I would marry her to-day If It weio jKisslble," I cried. "We need not bo so Impetuous asthnt, but could you nrrange tor, nay the day niter to-morrow?" 1 stared at him 1 could scaicnlv be lieve 1 beard correctly. To lo married to Paulino within a Tew hours! There must bo something In tho background of such bliss! Ceneri must bo a land man! Yet, even from the hands of n madman, how could I refuse my happi ness? "Hut I don't know If she loves mi would sho consent?" I stammered. "Paulino Is obedient, and will do as I wish. You can woo her after her mar .rlago instead of lieforo It." "Hut can it be done on ho short a no tice?" "1 bellevo theio aro such things ns special licenses to bo bought. You aro wondering at my suggestion. I nm tmund to return to Italyalmostatoucc. Now, I put It to you am I, under tho present circumstances, leave Paulino hero with only n servant to look after her? No, Mr. Vaughan, strongo ns it mnv seem, I must either seo her your wife before I lenvo or I must tnko her back with me. Tho latter mny bo ttn fortunnte for you, us hero I havo only myself to consider, while nbrond thero mny bo others to consult, and perhaps I might change mv mind." "Let us go to Paulino and ask her," I said, rising impatiently. "Certainly," said Ceneri, gravely, "wo will go ut once." Till now 1 had been sitting with my back to tho window. As J faced tho light I noticed the Italian doctor look verv stralglitly at me. "Yonr face seems quite familiar to mo, Mr. Vaughan, although I cannot recall where 1 havo seen you." I told him ho must havo scon mo out side San Giovanni while ho was talking to old Teresa. Ho remembered tho oc ctirrenco and appeared satisfied. Then wo called a cab and drovo to Paulino's new abode. It was not so very far away. I won deted I bad not encountered either Pau line or Teresa in my rnmbles. Perhaps they had both kept to the house to avoid the meeting. "Would you mind waiting in tho hall n minute?11 asked Ceneri as wo entered tho house. "I will go and prepare Pau line for our coming." I would havo waited a month lit a dungeon for the reward in prospect; so I sat down on tho imllshcd inalioiranv chair and woudeied If 1 wns In my right senses. Presently old Teresa came to mo. Sho looked scarcely more timiublo than be fore. "Have 1 done well?" she whispered in Italian. "You have done well 1 will not for get." "You will pay me and blamo mo for nothing. 1 tut listen once more I say it tho slgnorlna is not for love or mar riage." , Superstitious old fool! Wero Pau lino's charms to bo buried ina nunnery! Then a bell rang and Teresa left me. In a tew minutes sho teappeared and conduct! d me tip-stnira to a room in which I found my iK-autiful Paulino and her untie. She raised her dark dreamy oyesaud looked at me the most infatu ated man could not have Mattered him self that the light of love was in them. 1 I'ullv cNpectedtluit Dr. Ceneri would have lc it its to arrange matters alone; but no he took hip by the hand and in a Match manner led me to his niece. "Pauline, von know this gentleman." She bowed. "Yes, 1 know him." "Mr. Vaughan," continued Ceiifn, "does ns tho honor of asking yon to bo his wire." I could not permit all my wooing to lo done bv proxy, so I stepped forward and took her bund in mine. "Pauline." I whispered, "I love you since first I saw von I have loved you wliljou bo in) wife?" " es, if you wish it," she replied soft ly, but without even changing color. ''You cannot love mo now, but vou will by and by will you not, my dar ling? She did not respond to my appeal, but then she did not repulso mo, neither did sho strivo to withdraw her hand from wine; sue rcm&ineu cum anauuueniou strative as even but I threw my arm round her, nnd, In spiteof Ceneri's pres ence, kissed her passionately. It was only when my tips touched herown that I saw the color rise to her cheek and knew that she was moved. She dlsencneed herself from mv r m- ointr, ginliCcti hZ tivT lllll'.ie, WHO nlUUU' impnsslvo ns if ho had witnessed noth ing out of tho common, nnd then sho lied from tho room. "I think you had hotter go now," said Ceneri. "I will arrange everything witlt I'aullno. You must do on your part all that is necessary for tho day after to morrow," I said. "It is very sudden," I said. "It is, but It must 1)0 ho I cannot wait an hour longer. You had better leave mo now and return to-morrow." I went nwav with mv head In n whirl I was uncertain what to do. The temptation to call Pauline my own in so snort a tlmo was great: but I could not deceive myself by thinking that sho cared for mo at all. asyot. Hut, as Ceneri said, I could do my woolngnfter marriage. Still I hesitated. Tho hur ried proceeding was so strange. Ardent ly as I desired to wed Paulino I wished I could havo flrstwon her. Would It not bo better to let her undo take her to Italy, then to follow her and learn If sho could lovo mo? Against this pru dent cotirso came Ccncri'svnguothrcnt, that in such nn event, his mind might bo changed and moro than nil, I wns desperately in lovo. Although It could only bo for her beauty that 1 loved her. I was madly in love. Pato had thrown us together. Sho had escaped mo twice now tho third tlmo she was offered to mo unreservedly. I was superstitious enough to think that If I rejected or postponed accepting tho gift, it would bo withdrawn forever. No eomo what will, in two days' tlmo Paulino shnll bo my wlfel I saw her tho next day, but never alone. Ceneri was with us all tho time. Paulino was sweet, silent, shy, and lan guid. 1 had much to do much to seo to. Never was a wooing so short or so strange as mine. Hy tho evening all ar rangements wero mado, and bv ten o'clock tho next morning Gilbert Vaughan nnd Paulino March wero man and wife those two who had not in their lifetlmo even conversed for atlmo amounting, say. to three hours, wero linked together for better or worso till death should part them: Ceneri left immediately the ceremony wns over, nnd, to my astonishment, Teresa announced her intention of ac companying him. She did Hot fall to wait on me for tho promised reward, which I gavo her freely and fully. My heart's desire was to wed Pauline, and hy herald it had been compassed. Then, with my beautiful brldo, I skirted for tho Scottish lakes, to begin the wooing which should havo been completed ueforo tho final step had been taken. To le Gmtinwd. EZDB An Open Secret.
