"So you have been rli'li woman

ly. He diil not know yet how far this
strangeineut hail been intentional on
lier part, and he would give her the
Itenetit f the doubt. "I. too, have fallen

Koinif to do? Shall I see you homo? Or

Then, for the first time, Tauline raised
lier head; a in again Jack saw the ex
'resi.u of the carved timers' heads as
fihe answered her liusliautl.
"1 will uot accompany you anywhere;
I w.i.ild sooner klil myself for 1 hate
you;"
The shocked clergyman would have
apoken; hut Telling stopped him cour
teously but firmly.
"Yon must pardon nie; but this is tny
ITair, a a you in nut acknowledge, and
Jnlne only." Thou turn ug to the raging
woman, he went on: "In those circum
stances further discussion would be use
less;" and only Jack, who was watch
ing him closely, gues -d w hat wonderful
elf-control he waa exerting to keep him
nelf frvin exposing and upbraiding the
"woman to whom he spoke, i "I will sire
you the address of my solicitor, and all
future communications must be made
through him." He wrote the address on
leaf of his pocketbook, tore it out. and
laced it on the table, beside her. "And
iow. Mrs. Telling, may 1 see you to your
cab?"
She rose and drew herself up defiantly,
and theu awept from the vestry; ami
3'eIKng followed her in polite attend
ance. He returned in a few seconds.
"And now, Mr. lloruton," he said, "if
ym will favor me with your company, I
ahal be glad to give and receive explana
tions." After wishing the clergyman "Good
Morning."' the two men jumped Into the
ab which brought Telling from the ta
tion, ami drove to a hotel. They talked
on indifferent subjects until they were in
possession of a private room, and the
waiter had finally retired, after receiv
ing orders for luncheon in half an hour.
Then Telling turned to Jack and be
gan: "It seenis to me that you and I are
fated to cross each other's paths, Mr.
loruton. I have heard you spoken of
Iretty often lately by a Mr. Mallett, a
Iarticular friend of mine."
"Indeed?" said Jack, uncomfortably,
not relishing this suddeu and intentional
Introduction of the Malletts' name; for.
ince his conversation with Lord Sum
mers, Jack felt less proud than ever
of his own share in the rupture with
Ethel. He thought, too, that Mr. Tell
ing would not have beard much to his
credit from that source.
"I see what you are thinking." Tell
ing observed; "but you are wrong. Mr.
Mallett has spoken of you to me only
s a promising man In your profession.
O'he other matter that is in your mind I
t.xik the liberty of finding out for my
self. Now, I have a proposition to make
to you."
CHATTER XXII.
Felling paused and looked attentively
t the young man. He knew there was
not much generosity in giving Ethel up,
as he could not marry her himsplf dur
ing the lifetime of his wife, and, hav
ing plenty of true manliness, he did not
mean to make any show of the misera
ble pain that was gnawing at his heart;
lmt he felt he should like to know what
fort of man this was whose path he
Intended to smooth for him as far as lay
in h's power; and, while he thought of
this, the memory of Ethel's face, pained
tiud sorrowful as he saw it when she
made to him her confession of love for
this Uornton came suddenly before him,
Hnd he knew that the greatest kindness
be could do her would be to restore her
lover. Tresently he said, abruptly:
"You have nearly broken Ethel's
lieart."
Jack flushed furiously, and half rose
from his chair. Telling motioned to him
to keep calm.
"I asked you to be patient with me,"
lie reminded Jack. "My motive should
excuse me to you. The pith of the whole
matter is this was the engagement be
tween you and Ethel broken off in con
sequence of your infatuation for my
wife, or had you ceased to care for her
liefore you met Taullne? As man to
man. 1 ask you for a truthful answer."
"I can't for the life of me understand
ly what right," began Jack, hotly.
"For heaven's sake, don't waste time
In splitting straws when so much is at
intake!" Telling said, impetuously. "You
can't understand my right to Interfere?
1 will explain. I love Ethel Mallett as
I never loved, never shall love, never be
lieved It possible to love; and until this
morning I had the hope of making her
my wife some day, when she had had
time to forget you. I think my love for
lier gives me the right to do what I can
lo secure her happiness; and I believe her
happiness rests wllh you. I can't have
lier myself, or I do not think I could
lie unselfish enough to give her up. I
might, but I don't think It. Now to re
turn to our point was your infatuation
for my wife the only cause of the es
trangement between you two?"
Jack was greatly Impressed, as he un
derstood now why Telling spoke with so
much effort, and he felt touched by his
devotion. Added to this was the feel
ing of shame that had oppressed him
ever since his talk with Lord Summers.
"Come you needn't mind confessing
your weakness to me," Telling went on,
encouragingly. "Bless you, man, I know
how Tauline can twist any man round
lier finger if she likes to try! I sup
pose she was smitten with you, and
upreud her nets to snare you, and you,
riot seeing the snare, found yourself
enamored of her without knowing how
It happened. , And I dare say, If the
truth were known, when the first mad
burst was vr, and you thought out

things quietly, you would have given it
good deal never to have seen her at nil,
and wished you had behaved differently
to .Miss Mallett.
Jack jumped up, his face
and wrung Telling's hand.
"I could not say it invself,
beaming,
but that
is really just how it has been with me.
I am not good at expressing my feelings;
but I know you are behaving very well
to me much better than I deserve nnd
1 thank yon. And now what do you wish
me to do?"
"Go right away for a few months.
Write to me now and again, and I will
take care that Miss Mallett hears what
ever is likely to be of use to you. (live
her time to forget the indignity you have
put on her and her lore. 1 shall be
on hand In the character of a benevolent
patriarch, and the moment 1 see signs
favorable to our plot I will bring about
a meeting. The rest will lie with your
self." "How can I thank you?"
"You owe me no thanks. Relieve your
mind on that point. What 1 am doing
I do out of my sincere wish for Miss
Mallett's happiness. If you really think
you owe me anything pay it in kindness
to your wife after you are married. Here
is . luncheon. We w ill talk by and by
of your immediate plans."
When they had finished luncheon, and
Jack had left. Telling laid down on the
hard horsehair sofa, w ith his hands under
his head, gazing steadfastly at the ceil
ing; and it wasj not until the evening,
wheu the waiter came to light the gas,
that he was roused from his deep rev
erie. He then pulled himself together,
called for his bill, and having settled it.
went out into the wretched night.
Wheu Tauline left her husband at the
church door she knew that her schem
ing had been futile, and that she could
never again show her face at Mailing
ford; but it was not that which caused
her the agony of mind she was suffer
ing. She had lost Jack. The one pure, un
selfish cup of joy she had longed to taste
had been snatched from her lips at the
moment of raising. She was stunned
with despair.
She paced up and down the platform
at Charing Cross station, watching for
Iiahette and concocting plans for ob
taining what ready money she could be
fore the grand denouement came. She
knew her jewels must be worth at least
five thousand pounds, and, though some
of them were heirlooms, and others hail
been liought with money obtained by her
dishonesty, she would not scruple to ap
ply them to her personal use. Then she
would draw at once two thousand from
her bankers. She would go and do this
personally lest they might scruple to pay
so large a sum on a check. And so she
laid her miserable plans, refusing to
listen for on? moment to the prompting
of her better nature, which would even
now suggpst her return to the husband
whose only sin had been his poverty.
CHATTEK XXIII.
Notwithstanding all Telling's efforts,
the story soon got into the newspapers,
and, it being the dull season, was seized
upon with avidity by the gossip purvey
ors. It was "dished" and "rcdished"
day after day, with numberless distor
tions, exaggerations and additions. One
society journal had it that the beautiful
Miss M of M Tark, in Exbrldge-
shire, hnd attempted to poison her hus
band, to whom she had been secretly
married only a month or two, in order to
become the wife of a celebrated It. A.,
with whom she had fallen deeply In love;
while another declared that the husband
presented himself at the altar with pis
tols, and. dragging his would-be succes
sor outside the sacred edifice, insisted
upon a duel there and theu, and wound
ed him dangerously in the shoulder, and
that the unfortunate man now lay In a
most criticul condition, while the hus
band had carried off his reluctant bride,
a veritable prisoner, on board his yacht,
for a twelvemonth's cruise In the Ta
cific. At last Telling, annoyed beyond meas
ure at these absurd stories, decided to
lay bare the truth. With the assistance
of his lawyer, he drew up a concise state
ment of the real facts, giving his own
ami Tauline's name In full, but suppress
ing Jack's. He carefully conveyed the
Idea that Tauline believed him to be
dead, anil gave the circumstance to her
change of nr. me as sufficient to account
for his not having discovered her exist
ence since his return from Africa. This
he sent to two of the daily newspapers,
and, thus divested of all mystery, the
story lost its charm, and no longer af
forded nny interest.
Telling sent one of these newspapers,
with his own letter specially distinguish
ed, to Ethel by post, and the next morn
ing he called In Buckingham street to
make matters clearer.
Ethel's frank candor once more over
came the difficulties of the situation; she
stood at the top of the stairs with her
hands outstretched and her face bright
with friendly interest.
"I have been longing to see you," she
began, warmly, as they entered the room;
"we have both so much that is wonder
ful to tell each other!"
She looked at him steadfastly as he
stood in the light from the wjndow, and
what she saw in his face quickened her
pulse with a sudden pity, but she would
not give way to the impulse that urged
her to console him. She went on, a lit
tle hurriedly at first:
"I can see that your pleasant news is
in some way mixed up with painful
thoughts; so, as mine is altogether pleas
ant, I shall speak first. To begin papa
came home last night, and he has brought
the most wonderful news; it Is like a

her."
Ethel paused. Telling did not speak,
and she fe t a little anxious. She had
unintentionally stumbled upon the sub
ject: but she knew it could not be
avoided between them, so slip screwed
up her courage and went on:
'Tcrhaps J should lmt say what 1 am

"I can't tell you a: about it." he sadl.
"I only know that my wile refused to

she is now in Taris."
"If 1 were you 1 should go to Taris,
too."
"I suppose I ought !u fact. I know

For an instant he dropped his head
upon his hand, and a great rush of pity
set Ethel's heart beating oddly. lis
pulled himself together with mi impa
tient exclamation.
"What a bore you must think me!"
he aid. quickly. 'Let us drop the sub

"Thank you for your kind defense of

er entered tl le room. will remember
to do as you say:" and she turned gayly
to the door. "And now let me intro
duce you to Sir Geoffrey Mailing of
Mallingford Tark."
A few weeks later Ethel and her
father were settled at Mallingford. All
the necessary legal formalities had 1 n
gone through, and the county families
had called upon Sir Geoffrey and his
daughter. Lord Summers had suggest
ed that the baronet should have a- public
rcceptiou; but Sir Geoffrey had sternly
and emphatically opposed any such dem
onstration. So father and daughter had
come down aud been met at the railway
station by the family carriage, and had
gone quietly to their respective rooms,
after shaking hands with a few of the old
servants whom Sir Geoffrey remembered
in his brother's time, and had eaten their
first dinner at Mallingford lis if they
had but just returned from a short visit.
