BY ItUOH CONWAY,
Tlio win rlitlil to tlio dramntlratlon of this
story lini tipi'ii mireliswed by tlio Mnill-
8011 bquaro Tliuiitro Co. of N l.J
it wus cjiny m nuttitnn, nut tlio lent
showed no slus of fading. Kverytliinj:
was green, fresh and bountiful. Tlio
ky wits cloudless, anil it soft balmy air
fanned my cheek. I paused and looked
around mo before 1 decided in which
direction to go. Fur below my feet lay
tlio littlo Halibut village; Its houses
clustered round the moiitliof tlio noisy,
brawl i iik stream which ran down the
valley, and leaned joyously Into the .sea.
On oitlier luintl wero ureal tors, and bo
hind Ilium Inland hill uoveied with
woods, and in front of mo stretching
away uiul away wan tlio calm green sea.
The scene was fair enough, but I turn
ed away from it. I wanted Pauline.
It seemed to mo that on such a day as
this tlio shady woods and the, running
stream must offer Irresistible attrac
tions; so I found my way down the steep
bill, and began wiilUIiiguptho riverside,
whilst the merry stream danced past
mo, throwing Its rich brown peatfitain
cd wntcrs Into a thousand littlo cascades
as It shot over and foamed round the
groat bowlders which disputed its p.is
sago. I followed Its course for about a mllo
now clambering over mosgrown
rocks, now wading through fei ns, now
forcing my way through pliant hazel
boughs t lion In nn open. space on thooii
ponlu) bunk I saw a gh I sitting sketch
ing. Iler back was toward me, but I
lrtinw every luiu of that graceful llguro
well enough to feel suioshowiw my
wife.
If I had needed extra assurance I had
1ml to look at her companion, who sat
near her and unnoared to bo dozing over
n book. I should have recognized that
shawl of l'riscllla'rt a mllo away its
like has never been known on earth.
fluid an I found it to do so, I resolved
not to innko my presence known to
thoi.ii. lleforo I met Paulino I wanted
to Uilk to I'riscllla and bo guided by her
report as to my futuio method of pro
ceeding, llutln spiteof mydetermlna
lion I yielded to the temptation of
drawing nearer -from where I stood I
could not see her faceso I crept on
Inch by inch till I was nearly opposite
thoskolelier, and, half hidden liv thu
undergrowth, I stood Matching her to
my heart's content.
Tliero wai the hue of health unui her
cheek there was the appearance of
health In every movement, anil as she
turned and sjmko ti few words to her
companion tliero was that in her look
nnd in her smile which mude my heart
bound. The wife 1 returned to was a
different being from the gtrl I had mar
ried. Kho turned and looked acioss the
stream. Carried away by my Joy I had
entirely emerged fiom my linking
place. With tlio river between us our
eyes mot.
Hho must In some way have ionium
bored me. Were it but as in tidreammy
fnco must have seemed familiar to linr.
Sho dropped her pencil and sketch-book
nnd sprung to her feet before I'rlscllla's
exclamation of sut pi No and delight was
heard. She stood looking at mo us
though she expected I would speak or
come to her, whilst the old servant was
sending winds of welcome across the
noisy Mi earn.
Had I wished to retreat. It was now
ton late. I found u crossing place and
in n minute or two was on the opposite
bank.
Pauline hud not moved, but 1'iNcllla
ran to meet me and utmost shook my
hnnd off.
"Does sho leiuember does she Know
meV 1 whispered, ns 1 disengaged uiv
self uiul walked toward in wile.
"Not yet, but she will. I umsure she
will, Mastei (illbort."
Hreatlilng a prayer that her nioplieev
might come true, I leached Pauline's
side nnd held out my hand. She took
It without hesitation, uud raised her
dark eves to mine How did I lefiuln
from clasping liei to my heaill
"Pauline, do vou Know ino'r"
She dropJM'd here) es. "Piiscilla has
talked of you. She tells me ou are n
friend and that until ou come 1 must
bo content and a l no ipiestlous."
"Hut do you not remember me? I
fancied von" Knew me Just now."
She sighed. "I hno seen you in
dreamsstrange dieains." As sho
spoke a bright blush spread over her
check.
"Tell mo the dreams." I said.
"I cannot. I hao been ill. very ill,
for n long time. I have forgotten much
everything that happened."
"Shall I tell your
"Not now not now," she cried, cag
erlv. "Walt, and it may all come back."
Had sho an Inkling of the truth?
Wore the dioaiim sho spoko of but the
struggles of growing ineniorvr Did
that bright ring which was still on her
finger suggest to her what hud happen
ed? Yes. I would wait and bono.
Wo walked back together, with Prls
i ilia following at a proper distance.
Paulino seemed to accept my society ns
though It was a perfectly natural thing
to do so. When the path grew stoop or
rugged, she held out nor hand forinino,
as though its support was her rigid.
Vet for a long time she said nothing.
"Where have on come fromV" sho
asked at lust.
"Prom n long, long journey of many
thousands of miles."
"Yea; when I saw your face you wero
always 1 1 avellug. Did you llud what

"Yes. I found the truth. I know

We were now at the garden gate. I
took her hand in mine.
"Pauline." I said, "try try to remem

A ghost of the old pU7lcd look came
Into her eyes; she paused, her disengaged

out a wont, tinned away and entered
the house.

VIIO.M (lltll'.K TO JOY.
My tale Is drawing to aneiid.ulthough
I could, for my own pleasure, write
chapter after chapter, detailing over)
occuirenco of the next month describ
ing over) look, repeating every word
that passed between Paulino and my
self, hut If I wioto them thny would bo
sacred from all persons save two my
wife ami myself.
If my situation was an anomalous
one it had at least a certain charm. It
was a new wooing, none the less enter
t4ilnlug nnd sweet because Its object
happened to he already my wife In name.
It was liken landowner walking over
his estate and in every direction finding
unsuspected beauties nnd unknown
mines of wealth. Kvery day showed me
fresh charms In the woman I loved.
Iler smile wiw u Joy greater than I
had ever pictured, her laugh a revela
tion. Togii70 into those bright un
clouded eyes and strive to livjiru their
secrets was n rowan I that icpald mo for
all that I sulfeied. To llml that her in
tellect, now i esloied, was lit to bo
matched with any one's--to know that
when the time came I should bo given
notoulyn wife, beautiful in my eyes,
above all women, but a companion and
a sympathetic friend how can I de
scribe my rapluie?
Yet It wusiiniplme not uumodlllcd
bv doubts und fears. It may bo that my
character lacked that vorv useful trait
called by somo self-iMitiililence, and by
others conceit. Tim mote 1 saw to lovo
uud udmlio In Pauline, the moie I ask
ed myself how I could dare to expect
tliatsopeerles.su cieatuie would con
descend to accept the love nnd the life
I wished to olfer her. Who was I to
win her? I was i lull, it istruo.but I felt
sine that riches would not buy her af
fection - besides, as I had not told her
that lior own wealth was swept away,
she fancied her fortune was us large us
my own. Sho was young, beautiful,
and, so fur us she knew, free and amply
provided for. No, I had nothing to of
fer her which was worthy of her accep
tance. I (julto dreaded to look forward to the
moment which must sooner or later
come the moment when I must, Ignor
ing the past, ask her once more to -bo
my wife. On her answer would hang
the whole of my futuro life. No won
der I decided to postpone thonrden! un
til I felt unite cei tain that the result of
It would no favorable to me. No won
der that when with Pauline, nnd reali
zing the value of the prize I aimed at, I
growqullo humble nnd depreciatory of
what, merits I may have possessed. No
wonder that at times I wished that I
wero gifted with that pleasing assurance
which sits so well on many men, and,
time and oppoitunlty beingglveu.seems
to go a long way toward winning a wo
man's lieai t.
Time nnd opportunity at least were
not wanting in my case.
I had taken up my quarters near to
her. and from morn to night we wero in
each other's eompanv. We wandered
thiough the uatrow Devonshire lanes,
with their luxuriant banks of ferns on
either side. Wo climbed the nigged
tins. Wo llsliod Willi more or less suc
cess the iiinld sti earns. Wo diovo to
gether. W e lead and sketched but us
yet we had not talked of love; though
all the while my wedding-ring wus on
her linger.
It ieiuired nil my nuthorltv to pie
vent Piiscilla telling Pauline thu truth.
On this point I was linn. I'nlcss the
past came back of Its own accord, I
would hear her say sho loed me before
my lips lovenlcd It to her. Peihnps it
was the Idea which at times came to
me, that Paulino lemembercd more
than sho would own to, kept mo stead
fast In this resolution.
It was curious the way In which sho
ntouco fell into frienill v. unconstrained
Inteicouiso with me. We might have
known each other from childhood, so
perfectly natural and unembarrassed
was her manner when wo weie together.
She made no demur when 1 begged her
to cull me by my I'ln latum name, nor
did she object to my making use of her
own. Had she done so I cannot think
in w hat foi m 1 should have addressed
her. Although I had instructed Piis
cilla to call her Miss March.tho old wo
man stoutly objected to this, uud com
pounded mutteis by speaking to and of
herns Miss Pauline.
The dus slipped by --the hiipnlest
davs mv life had as et known. Mom,
noon and eo we were together; and I
fear weie objects of grent curiosity to
our neighbors, who no doubt wondered
what relations existed between mound
the beautiful girl at whose side I ever
was.
I 8oon found that Pauline's natural
disposition was gav and blight. It was
too soon et to expect it to reassert It
self, yut I was not without hopes that
betoie long that look, telling of sad
memories, which so otten crossed her
face would fade away foiou'r. Now
and again a pleu.-tsl smile- lit up her
face, and mem wonls slipped from her
lips. Although when leason llrst re
turned to her, it soomedns if hei broth
er's death had oceuired but the da ln
fote, I felt sine that, alter a while, she
understood that eais had passed since
the fatal night. These years were to
her wrapped in a mist; tfioj denied as
duMius. She was U lug to recall them,
lHginulug ai the beginning, and 1 need
not say with what alaciity 1 lent my
aid.
lly common consent wo avoided the
future; but of the past, or all tlio just
in which I was not concerned, we spoko
freely. All the e enU of her early ) wire
sho now lemeinbeied poifectly: she
could account for everything up to tlio
time when herbiother was struck down
lifter that came mistiness; from which
she emerged to llud herself in a strango
room, ill, and Wing nursed by a strange
nurse.
Several das pasMsl before Paulino
questioned me us to the part I hud play
ed in her clouded life, Otio eveulmt i
nunm on UIO tup Ot a tlUCKly WOO (ICO.
bill, from which wo could lust catch a
gllmpso of tlio sea. now reddened by a
glorious sunset. Wo had been silent
for somo tlmo, and who can say that
our thoughts wero not more in unison
than any woi ds wc could hnvo spoken
whilst our strange nnd uncertain rela
tions continued. I looked at tlio west
ern sky until tlio glowing tints begun to
fado, then turning to my companion r
found her dark c)cs gazing nt mo with
almost painful earnestness.
"Tell me," sho said, "toll mo what 1
shall And when that lost timo comes
back to mo?"
Her fingers, ns sho spoko, wero play
ing witli her wedding-ring. Sho still
wore It, nnd Uio diamond keeper I had
placed nbovo it; but she had not ns yet
asked mo why It was on her hand.
"Will It como back, Paulino, do you
think?" I nsked.
"I hopo so or stay; should I hopo so?
Tell mo, will it bring mo joy or sor
row?" "Who can say tho two tiro always
mingled."
Sho Hlghrd and turned her oyes to tho
ground. Presently she raised thotn to
mine.
"Tell mo," sho said, "how nnd when
did you como into my life why did I
dream of you?"
"You saw mo so ofton when you wero
ill."
"Why did I wnko and llud your old
Hcrvnnl taking care of mo?"
"Your undo gave you Into my charge.
I promised to wntcfi over you during
bis absence."
"And ho will nover return. Ho Is
punished for IiIh crime for standing by
when tho poor boy was murdered."
She pressed her hands to her eyes, ns
if to shut out tho light.
"Pauline," I said, wishing to chnngo
the current of her thoughts', "tell mo
bow you saw mo In dreams; what you
dreamed of mo?"
She shuddered. "I dreamed that you
were standing by mo in tho very room
that you saw tlio deed. Yet I knew
that it could not be so."
"And then?"
"I saw your fnco many times it was
always traveling, traveling through
clonus. I saw your lips movn, nnd you
seemed to say, :I nm going to Icuru tho
truth'- so I wultcd patiently till you re
turned."
You never
dreamed of mo before?"
It was growing dusk. I was uuceitnln
whether it ws thu deepening shade
from the trees which niailo her cheeks
look darker, or whether It wus a blush.
Mv heart was beating madly.
'I cannot telll I don't know. Don't
ask niel" she said lu a troubled voice.
Then she turned.
"It glows dink and chilly. Let u.s go
in."
1 followed her. It wns mi completely
the ruin for me to spend the evening
with her that I did not even wait for an
Invitation. It was our custom to
and sim: together for nu hour or two
Paulino s tlrst expressed desli o ufterhor
recovery had been for n piano, llellnv
lug herself to bo an heiress sho had felt
no scruple in asking for all sho wanted,
and my instructions to Piiscilla being
that no money wns to bo spared In
ministering to her comfort, n piano
had been Mmt from the nenrest town.
All her skill hud returned to her. Her
volco hud como buck oven stronger and
more sweet than of old. Again and
again sho held mo entranced ns sho had
held mooneo before, when I littlo ex
lected tho feni fill ending to her pong,
or Unit my fute and tho singer's were no
closely Interwoven.
I was surprised, therefore, when this
evening she turned on the doorstep nnd
said: "Not to-night. Leave me, please,
for to-night." ...
I urged no objection. I took her hand
nnd bade her farewell until the morrow.
I would go and wander by htarllghtaud
think of her.
As wo parted sho looked nt me
strangely, almost solemnly.
"(Illbert." she said, speaking In Ital
ian; for Prisctllu wns now standing nt
tho open door "shall 1 limy for tho past
to return or that I should never remem
ber It? Which will bo the best for mo
and for you?" , ,
Without waiting to hear my leply.sho
glided past Prlscillii, who stood waiting
for mo to follow her.
"tiood-nlght. Piiscilla," I said, "I nm
not coming in." . , wi
"Not coming in, .Master Gilbert! MIsa
Paulino will bo vexed."
"Sho Is tired and not qulto well. You
had better go to her. (iood-night."
Prisellla enmo out to thodoorstep and
closed the door lichlnd her. Tliero wns
something In her manner which told
me sho meant on this particular occa
sion to resume what sho could of that
authority sho had been delegated to o
erclsoovermo during my tender j ears
an authority I did not dare to dispute
until long after I bad been Invested with
jackets and trousers. I have no doubt
but sho would have liked to selzo mo by
the collar and give mo a sound shaking.
As It was sho was obliged to content
herself with throwing a world of sor
towfiil indignation into her voice.
"Sho ma) easily feel 111, poor young
lady, when her husband lhea at ono
house, and she nt another. And here's
every liody lound-alMiut trying to find
out what i elation outwoare to each
other asking mo nil sorts of questions
and 1 mustn't snv you are husband nnd
wife."
"No not yet."
"Well, I'm going to, Muster (illbert.
If ou won't tell the poor young lady, I
shall. I'll tell her how oubroughtber
homo and sent for mo to take care of
her bow jnu tended her and waited on
her all day long -how you shut ourself
up lor her sake, never M'eing an old
H lend's face. Oh yes. Master (.illbeit,
I'll tell her all; and I'M tell her howyou
went Into hei reom nnd kitted her cm
win started on that fool's journey,
wherever it wns. She'll remember
or) thing fast enough then."
"I command xoii to say nothing."
"l'o heeded too maiiv commands of
xours. Muster (iillxut, to mind break
ing ono for your sake. I'll do It. and
take the consequences."
Feeling that the explanation, if mado
by Prlscilla. would not only sweep away
a great deal of lomance, but also might
precipitate matters and make Uiem far
more dilticult to adjust tomy ownsatis
fartion, 1 was IhiuihI to prevent her
carrying out her fluent. Knowing from
old exiH'ricnco that although the good
soul could not be driven, she could bo
led. 1 was obliged to resort to cajolery.
So I said, as one asking a Ihhui
"You won't If I entreat und beg you
not to, my old friend. You love mo too
much to do mi) tiling against my
xvishes,"
I'riscllla was not proof against this
apinal, but she urged me to proclaim
thu true state of atfulrs as soon as possi
ble "And don't be too sure. Master Gil
august 27, issc.
bert,- sho concluded, "as to what slio
remembeis or doesn't. Sometimes I
think she knows a deal more than you
Hiippoe."
Then she left me. and I went wander
ing about thinking ns to what meaning
to attach to Pauline's pai ting words.
"Which will bo tho best for me nnd
for von?" to forgetor to recall? How
much did she forget how much did sho
recall? Hud those rings on tier hand
not shown her that sho was n wife?
Could she holt) suspecting whoso wife
sho was? hvoii if sho remembered
nothing about our strange hurried mar
riage, nothing nbout our subsequent
life together, sho found herself after
that Interval of oblivion, as it wero, un
der my charge; found that I know nil
tho tragic clrcumslnnco.s of her broth
er's end, Unit I now returned from a
journoy of thousands of miles, under
taken to learn the fatal particulars. Al
though sho might not bo ablo to account
for It. she must by this know the truth.
Keeping tho ring on her linger showed
that she did not dispute tho fact that,
somehow, sho was wedded. Who could
bo her husband save mo?
Yes, by tho evidence tho situation of
fered, I dntormlned that sho had arrived
at tho right conclusion; nnd tho hour
was at band when I should learn If tho
knowledge would bring her Joy or sor
row. To-morrow I would tell her nil. I
would tell her how strangely our lives
beenmo linked. I would plead for her
iovo more passionately than ovor man
yet pleaded. I would prove to her how
Innocently I hnd fallen Into Cenori'a
schemes how frco from blnmo I was In
wedding hor whilst her mental stnto
was such Unit sho was unablo to rofuso
consent. AH this sho should learn, and
then I would hear my doom from her
lips.
I would urgo no plea based upon my
legnl right to my wifo. So far as I could
make her sho should bo free. Nothing
should bind her to mo except lovo. If
sho bud none to give mo 1 would tear
myself from her, uud nt her wish seo If
steps could not bo taken to annul tho
marriage but whether sho elected to
remain my wifo In nume. to become my
wife In reality, or to sever every tio.her
future life, with or without her knowl
edge, should bo my care. I5y this timo
to-morrow mv fnto should bo known.
Having settled this I should hnvo re
tired to rest; but I wus In no mood for
sleep. Again and ngaiu I recalled her
last words and commenced onoof thoso
weighings of hopes nnd feurs which al
ways means self-torture. Why If Pau
line had guessed tho truth, had sho not
asked mo about It? How could sho
spend hour nfter hour with tne, know
lug sho was my wifo vet not knowing
bow sho Itccnmo so? Would her words
admit of tho interpretation that sho
dreaded what sho hnd to learn? Did
she wish for freedom nnd continual for
getfulncss? So, on nndon until I mado
myself qulto miserable.
Many a may on tho nvo of learning
whether his love is to bo accepted or re
jected has la'cn racked as I was that
night, but surely no lover save myself
ever lived, who was to rccelvo thu mo
mentous nnswer fiom tho litis of a wo
man who was already his wifo.
The hour wns late when I returned
from my solitary walk. 1 passed Pau
lino's window, and standing gazing up
nt It I wondered If sho, too, were lying
nwuko and thinking and deciding about
our future lives. Ah well, to-morrow
would put us both out of suspense!
Tho night being still and warm her
window wus open at the top. lleforo I
turned away u fancy seized me. I pick
ed a io.se from a bush in tlio garden and
mnuuged to toss it through tho open
susli. Sho might llud It In tho morning
nnd guessing trom whom itcumomlglit
wear it. It would bo a good omen.
Tho blind shivered us thu rosebud
struck it; then, fearing discovery, I
turned and lied.
Tho morning broko fnlr. I roso xvlth
hope in my heart and scouted tho fears
of the night. At tho earliest moment I
could Iioih) to llnd her 1 started In search
of Pauline. She hnd just gono out. I
ascertained In which way, and followed
her.
1 found her walking slowly, with her
head bent. Sho greeted mo with her
usual quiet sweetness, und wo walked
on side by side. 1 looked in vain for
my rose; and was fain to comfort my
self by thinking it must havo fallen
where she could not seo it. .Neverthe
less, 1 was troubled.
And there was worso In store for me.
Her hands, ungloved uud with tho lin
gers Interlaced, were carried in front of
her. I wns walking on her left sido,
and I saw that the hand nearest mo was
denuded of its rings. Tho golden circlet
which bud shone until now like n beacon
of hope, hud disappeared. My heart
sank. Tho meaning w as onh too clear:
when coupled with her words of last
night, who could full to understand it?
Although sho kuew herself to be my
wifo blio wished to throw theyokouside.
laullno loved mo not tho truth which
wns graduallv creeping from tho misty
past would In lug her souow now that
sho romrmlwicd. she wished to forget.
Tho rings were cast aside to show mo,
if possible, without wonls, that she was
not to bo mv wife.
I low could 1 speak now ? Tho answer
hud been given before the question hud
been put.
Sho saw me looking nt that littlo
w bite hand of hers, but simply dropped
her lashes and said nothing. No doubt
sho wished me to sare her the pain of
an explanation. If 1 could nerve m self
to it, perhaps the last thing would bo
to leave- her as speedily as possible
leave her to return no more.
Mood) and despondent as I felt at tho
discovery Just iuade.it was not long lc
foro I found a great change in Paulino's
manner. Sho wns not the same. Some
thing had como between us, something
which entlielv disfHiled the old friendly
intercourse; changing it Into little more
than conventional politeness. Sh.vne&s
and constraint now made themselves
manifest in every wonl mid action per
haps, in mine also. We spent the day
together as usual, but the companion
ship must have Uvn irksome to both,
so greatly was Its footing changed for
the worse. That night I went to bed
wretched. Tho prize I had striven for
seemed to lw siuitchod away just as I
bad IiohsI to win it!
Si sevn-al dav s passed. Paulino made
no sign, or certainly none I could con
strue favorably. 1 could Ix-ur this state
of things no longer. Prlscilla, wIiomj
sharp eyes saw that Kiiiiethlng was
amiss, pcsteicd mebe)ond endurance:
and siHike her mind mi roundly that I
began to suspect sho had already exe
cuted her threat of telling Paulino
everything; and 1 felt inclined to attrib
ute my failure to tho old woman's of
tlciousucss in making a premature reve
lation. All might have gone well had I
twit Liven another week or a fortniulit
to win my wito's heart. I began to be
llovo that sho was growing unhnppy;that
my presonco troubled her. Not that
she evinced nny wish to avoid mo; In
deed, sho camo so surely at my beck
and call ns to suggest a sliadow of tho
obcdlonco sho had always given during
those days upon which I now dreaded
to dwell. Hut I felt sho would bo hap
pier and moro at easo in my absence.
So I resolved to dopart.
I knew that my only way was to car
ry out my determination at onco. Hav
ing mado tho resolve. I would act upon
It next day. I packed up my things in
readiness. I arranged by which coach
to go. I should have thrco hours lu tho
morning to glvo I'riscllla my llnnl In
structions and to bid my wifo ndloufor
over. I could not go without explaining
somo things to her. I need not pain
her by alluding to our relationship, but
