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

she had opened her eyes, nod nt sight of
him she had given one little scream, and
then had relapsed Into unconsciousness,
in which condition she had remained for
three days and nights. 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.

"Yes-trust you always," she inur

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.

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,

may convey some Idea of tho develop

A crowd of Russian farmers, the first

at Philadelphia In any considerable

American liner Frlesland, from Liver

fought for their country against Japan
and who still wore tho military i

farmhands, nearly all of
whom are members of the Greek orth

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
