TT CHARITY GIRL? I Dy EFFIE A. ROWLANDS I C1IAPTKR XXIV. The Glendurwood carriage wa tanl Ing where Jack hml ordered it to remain when ho arrived. Jack hnl thrown him iw-lf hack in his rumor and had folded tii unin across hi breast : Audrey sat lolt upricht. her two cold little hand clinched tight together, her teeth set so that the sob that rose to her throat should not escape her lips. Who shall attempt to describe the tate of tho two heart, both wounded to the very quick, both heavy with that tloep sorrow that comes when one has lieon deceived here one loves best? "Why di they take ine to him? Why was 1 married to him? 1 would sooner tiavr died than have listened to what those women said to-night, and know that he has never, never loved me," said Audrey to herself, passionately. And so my happiness is over, ran Jack's troubled thoughts. "Well, it has not lasted lone. Fool fool that I have bwn, to believe that anv woman could le the angel I have pictured her to N. and th:it she should love him him. above till other men! 1 feel as thugh his very life's blood will not give me satis faction." They reached the gates of Craigland- at lust : a few minutes' drive through the well-kept avenue, and then the do ir. Jack Dt out. and then forcing himself by an almost superhuman effort to appear nat ural before the servants, turned to as sist her. Audrey put her cold hand in his as she stepped out of the brougham. How little did either of them think thit they would not clasp, or even touch, hands again for many a weary day. The fragrance and warmth of her bed room seemed to choke Audrey. Hastily flinging off her domino, she passed to the window and pushed it open, and then tood by it. the sound of her own heart beating in her ears like a sledge hammer. Would Jack come? She waited several moments. If be had come to her then she would have done that which would hare put matters straight at once, for the agony in lier breast was urging her to peak out to ask him why he had deceived her, why he had married her? The hot blood rushed to her cheek again and afrain, as she recalled tne remarks those two women had made, and realized how cruelly the world judged her already. Five, ten. fifteen, twenty minutes went by, and Audrey still stood waiting for the sound of her husband's footsteps on the stairs and the passage outside. Her happiness was ended : Jack no longer loved her indeed, had never loved her. She was his wife, that was true, and it must be her lot to bear with the diffi culties as with the joys that fell to her -as his wife. "Still," the child thought sorrowfully to herself, "he has acted wrongly ; he has been cruel to Sheila, to himself, to tne. I am glad he did not come in just now. yea, glad, for it shows that he is tired of deceit and hpyocrisy, and and I cannot bear to think that the nature I thought mo honest should only prove false. What was it that those women said? 'The worst day's work Jack Glendurwood did when he married me.' People should be careful how they speak out the truth." Her lips quivered, but her face flamed with proud color. "The worst day's work for Jack," she repeated slowly, "and I am the one who has brought that to him. I I who would lay down my life for him. Why did I ever meet him? Why did I ever leave home? Why did not 'heaven let me die before all this sorrow came upon him through me? Jack! My darling! My darling!" Her hot, tearless eyes stared into the fire, as if to seek some solution of this gainful problem there. In her loving gen erosity Audrey made all excuses for her husband now. She no longer blamed ; be was still to her the dearest creature on earth ; and yet so great was the agony at thought of his deceit that, had be held out bis arms to her and called her tenderly by name, she would have turned from htm and stood aloof. CHAPTER XXV. Jean Thwait was lying in a delicious doze, half waking, half sleeping, on the morning following the Dinglewood masked ball, when a sharp tap at the door, fol lowed by Audrey's rapid entrance, arous ed her completely. "What is it, darling? Something has happened?" she cried, hurriedly. "Jean, can you pack up a few things and come with me at once?" Audrey poke faintly, her face was deathly white, he shook in every limb ; then before Jean rould answer, she went on swiftly, "My mother is very ill. She has telegraphed for me. Perhaps even now I may be too late ; she may be dead. I have ordered the carriage to be here in an hour, can you be ready?" "Yes," replied Jean, briefly. It needed no words to tell her that more was the matter than this telegram from Ger many. Audrey had never spoken like this to her before, bad never looked as she looked now. Audrey made no Inquiries about Jack, although she knew she must acquaint him with her journey before she started. Jean found plenty to do In the time allotted to her, but she was wonderfully quick, and was In her hat and coat when she went to the door to open It In answer to a harp summons. It was Jack, also fully attired In outdoor costume, with a rail way rug over bis arm. "Good morning, Miss Thwait," he said, hurriedly. "Pleas forgive me for this unceremonious intrusion, but I wanted to speak to you before I leave." "Are you not going with us?" she ask ed in surprise. It was Jack's turn to show astonish ment. "Where are you going?" he asked husk ily. Jean in three words, explained what had happened, and then she knew some thing war very wrong, indeed, by the ex pression on Jack's face. "Poor Constance !" she heard him mut ter under his breath ; theu he gave a uick sigh. "I hone things ma not be so bad. Miss Thwait. It Is quite Impo sible for me to get to Crontadt vet." les Audrey know you are not going with us?" 1 have not seen her this morning, was the answer, given with much evident pain. Jean clasped her hands suddenly. Then her worst fears were realized, and some thing more had. indeed, happened : some thing, too, very terrible, to work such a change as till. "I'rd John," she said, involuntarily. "you must please forgive me. but is your business so iuiHrtant that you are com lulled to attend to it rather than accom pany your wife on such a journey as this?" "Miss Thwait," he said as well as he could sieak. "the business I am going on touches that which Is dearer to mo than life my honor! I am sure that you at least would not wish me to neglect any thing with which that is concerned." "I will answer for Audrey as for my self," Jean said, hurriedly, "if your honor is concerned. Lord John, no other reason is needed: but is there nothing I can do?" "Give this letter to Audrey, Miss Thwait." his voice quivered ns he spoke his wif's name. "It Is a sacred trust, one that I would not give to every one: but I know you are her friend, you will comprehend and sympathize with what I am going to do." "Stay. Lord John : you must hear me !" Jean's gray eyes were full of tears. "I love Audrey bettor than anything on earth. I do not ask to know the reason, but I see, alas! onlv too well, that some thing has arisen between her and you. I ask you now. and it Is my love for her that urg-s the question, will vou not see her yourself before you start on this journey? will you not smooth, away the quarrel? She is in trouble will you not take her to your arms?" "It is impossible," he said quickly, but with such determination in his voice as made Jean shudder, and sent a thrill of exquisite torture through Audrey's aching heart, as she. at that moment, opened the door in time to catch Jeau's last words and her husband's reply. By and by, when they were speeding to Dover, Jean and Willie Fullerton who. when he found Jack did not join them, insisted on going in a corner talking earnestly, Audrey drew out her husband's letter. "Audrey In future, after the events of last night, it will be impossible for us to live together. This, I take it, will Ik- as much your wish as mine. To continue to live as wc have been doing would be a mockery of marriage, a disgrace to our race, a dishonor to our name. This, then, is what I propose to do. There shall be no divorce; the pride and honor of the Harborough family protest against such a course. After all, you are very young. a mere child : you inav have erred through ignorance, but be that so or not, from henceforth you can never be mv wife In aught but name. My wife must be above suspicion pure, sweet, true not a girl who, before scarcely six months of her marriage have gone, encourages a man for whom she openly expresses horror and contempt. 'As for Heverley Rochfort, before many hours are over unless he be a cur, which I take him to be he will have answered to me for his own part in this affair. Audrey, I am trying to write kindly; I am trying to remember your youth and the many disadvantages that have been yours since the first, and you If you have justice and honesty In your heart you will recognize that I am not treating you harshly. Your future Is my care. This morning I have made my will. I leave you all the money I possess, to gether with Minster, in Rlankshire, the property my father has just settled upon me. Whether I live or die, I wish you to make your home at Minster. I should like to think Mis Thwait was with you. Your money will be transmitted through my lawyers. I intend to start at once on a tour or tne woriii, giving the condi tion of my health as a reason for thus relinquishing my parliamentary career. I shall be. absent, perhaps, two years, and I leave it in your hands to judge whether at the end of that time your conduct has been such as to permit me to occupy the same house as yourself, and appear be fore the world In my proper position as your husband. "JO UN G LE X I)L I WOOD." When Dover was reached a telegram was brought to Jean. "For Lady John Glendurwood," the waiter said, inquiringly. "Is that right, madame?" "Quite right." Jean hesitated only a moment, and tore it open. She gave a little sound of sor row as she read. It was from Marshall poor, faithful Marshall and ran thus: "Mrs. Fraser died this morning. Her last wish was that you should not travel here, but that she should be carried home and buried in England. I, therefore, beg your ladyship to obey this wish. I have telegraphed for my poor mistress' lawyers. "SUSAN MARSHALL." Poor little Audrey ! Robbed already of the mother she had longed for so much, loved so dearly, and possessed so short a while 1 CHAPTER XXVI. There was nothing to do, Audrey fell Into a sickness that threatened serious consequences. Jean sent at once for Lord Glendurwood and Fullerton, and he came in hot haste from a vain search for Hev erley Rochfort. There was nothing to be done but wait. Audrey had fallen Into a stupor. Her dear mother was buried without the presence of her beloved child. For three days and nights Jean sat beside Audrey's bed, watching and dread ing for the moment when that fair, frail face should grow even whiter, the faint, low breathing even fainter. Three long, weary days these were; but If she found them terrible, how much more so did the one who had nothing to do put to pace to and fro in the wet, leafless garden, his hungry eyes fixed always on the low, quart window which hid hi darling from his view 7 The doctors forbade .lack (J ten dnnvood from entering bis wife's sicl room.

When rcaso'i re turned Audrey was belter, and Jean sought out Jack and told the good news. "And may I see her --when?" he asked eagerly. "When may 1 see her? My ilarl ing ! My darling !" "The doctor will tell you. Perhaps to night I" As Jean sat by Audrey's bedside that evening, resting back wearily in the chair, now that nil extreme anxiety was g.sie a small, sweet voiiv came from tho pil low, and she was alert at once. "Jean," she said, after a little pause "is -Ja - Is my husband here?" "Yes, darling; he has been here nearly all the time. Do yon want to see him?" "No, no, no! I will not siv him. Jenu. if you love me, send him away! I shall go mad if he Is here! Promise! Prom ise ! You must ; you shall !" "It shall K as you wish, my dearest Jean said, sofrlv 'Yoi trust m.?" "Yes-trust you always," she inur mured, and in a few seconds she was asleep. Constance Eraser had been brought over to England and laid beside her moth er in an old fashioned country church yard. It had been a simple funeral enough, though Mowers had come from far and near. High and low, rich and IHMir, one and all, had a sorrowful thought for the sweet, gentle woman, who had merited a better sojourn on earth. Sheila wns left to herself and her not very agreeable reflections. The masked ball bad cost her nn enormous sum. Lady Daleswnt-r had never offered to take her away with her; she had absolutely no no tion of what had happened to Jack and Audrey. Heverley Rochfort never mailt? the least sign, and to crown all. Murray, the whilom maid at ( 'raiglatids. and her much too clever accotnplii-e, took matters into her own hands and bolted one night with all the available jewelry and lait she could lay her hands iihii. Enraged beyond all expression at the loss of her property, Sheila at on.v put the mailer into the hands of the poli.i'. and, in fact, was far more interested in this affair than she was at the death of her stepmother. Hut a more disagreeable condition of things than this awaited Sheila when the report of Audrey's disappearance spread to Mountberry. She was fairly frightened ; ignorant of what might really happen, she conjured up all sorts of evil that would be visited upon her when the whole truth was given to the world, as it most probably would !. She eagerly searched for Rochfort, to force him to exonerate her from blame in the mischief they had brought about, but like a coward he was hiding from its consequence. Then one day she had a frantic visit from Alice Fairfax, who was in great anil terrible fear lest something would hap pen to her. She had seen Willie Fuller ton, who had boldly stated that it wa Ix)rd John's intention to sift out the whole gossip that had been spread about his wife, and clear away much that he could not understand. "And if so, we shall be ruined. Sheila," sobbed Alice Fairfax ; "but, anyhow, I shall tell the truth, and say you asked me to do " "You dare to turn on me !" Sheila flashed, furiously, white with anger, and then she would have proceeded to fur ther ebullitions of wrath had not the door of her room lieen opened at thi moment and Mr. Fullerton announced by the waiter. A glance at the two flushed faces would have satisfied Willie a to tueir guilt, if he had not, at that mo ment, reposing in his locket, a complete confession signed by Murray, whom Daw son, the detective, had easily found thi had been done at Jean's suggestion anil who. discovering that her chance of a brilliant career on Sheila's jewels was briefly cut short, eased her conscience and her spite by disclosing the whole plot. Willie's Interview with Sheila wa short and to the point ; and when he left the room he carried with him her signa ture and a few words at the bottom of Murray's confession testifying that all the maid had written was true.

Indianapolis News. The Tobacco Crop. That the United States has become the largest producer of tobacco In the world Is shown by an olllclal bulletin containing an estimate of the extent and value of the crop raised last year. In all about 7'.)0,fK)J acres of tobacco were grown, producing an average yield of ST7.2 pounds to the acre, or a total of (W2,42S,!j.'5i) imujikIs. Tho av erage value of the crop was 10 cents per pound, or a total of about $'W,2.'!2, 047. While It is almost Impossible to comprehend the magnitude of the val ue of tho manufactured products of Udmeco, a glance at the total figures may convey some Idea of tho develop ment of this great nnd distinctive American Industry. In 1!)00 the total value of the manu factured products of tobacco was $'J8.1,O7!,540. In the manufacture 112, 177 ieopl were employed, who earned" a total wage of f!),S.-2,484.

A crowd of Russian farmers, the first of this class of Immigrants to arrive at Philadelphia In any considerable numbers, reached there recently on the American liner Frlesland, from Liver pool. There were many who had fought for their country against Japan and who still wore tho military i forma Id which they had been dis charged. There were In all 850 of these much-sought-after farmhands, nearly all of whom are members of the Greek orth odox church. Most of the Immigrants left last night for Illinois, Minnesota, Nebraska and the Dakotaa. Though illiterate, they are Industrious and thrifty. The leader of tho party stated that, owing to the political and eco nomic crisis, 800,000 farmhands will leave Russia this year for the United States, coming principally from the Dnelper and Don districts, the richest farming districts of the country.
