At laat ba beard tha convent bell atrlka aix, an), with a feeling of relief, ba ruse and went downstairs. He found tha amor waiting bflow, looking triumphant, but caution. There were evrrral loungers aliout, and Mr. Mallett and Castellan pained through tha room and out of the house without eichanging a word. Iiut, once safol outside, tha senor, mho waa brimming orcr with pleasant alf-importaii'p, rapidly unfolded the pl:ina which the servant and ho bad con cocted for Mr. Mallett'a admittance to the convent burying ground. "I ahall point out the gate by which nionltir will enter; after that, tha rest In ik t depend on monsieur's a.igacity and on tha fiactneai with which ba carriee out my directions. Tha servant would bare nothing to do with you directly; but aha will arrange matter so that you can enter the cemetery by youmelf and ob tain a view of the tomb. Hut monsieur will envelop himself In my accomplice's clonk, and if he I aeen from tha chapel wind. me, they will conclude It I but one of the sinter crossing the graveyard to guther herbs from the garden which i.e beyond.". Then followed a Hat of directions, to which Mr. Mailed paid tha closest atten tion; ami, aa tha old Spaniard conclud ed, they came within eight of the Con vent of tha Holy Aasiimptlon. A sub stantial alone wall eight fit high In rioted It on all aides, anil on the east front were masHive iron gates boarded Mgh above the lino of eight to ahleld tha aarred precinct from tha vulgar guze. Further on, on the west side, wa a very small wicket, almost hidden under tha in ! of ivy that hung half way to the ground. 'I'll i door waa the, one used by the lay sisters when doing their er rand, and a covered way led from It Into tha main entrance hall. Tha main gate was never opened except for funerala of tha villngo. Tha bells were atill ringing for ves pers as Mr. Mallett reached thla half bidden little gate, anil, according to di rection from Castellan who waa lurk ing among tha bruahwood ha gave a low, quick, triple knock three tlmea over, and then waited with his eyea on hla watch until five minute had pasted. Tha bells ceased ringing. This waa the moment agreed on. and be pushed tha door gently; It yielded, and tha next moment be found himself in tha dim light of a long, narrow paaage. Ha stooped and lifted a snuff colored garment th.it lay at hia feet. It waa a buge cloak, like a sister's. He wrap ped himself In tha rapacious garment, carefully drawing tha hood well over hla bead. Having taken off hi boots, ba went stealthily along the passage, acroaa large atone flagged entrance hall, and paased nut of what ha bad been told waa the main entrance Into tba iuclosure be yond. Ha paused here a moment and looked about him attentively. In Una with him atood the chapel on the extreme right, tha door of which was open; and lie aaw tha backs of tha sisters a they knelt at their devotions. He caught a gleam of gorgeous color a the clear evening light fell through the east win dow upon tha vetments of the priest t tha high altar, and a faint odor of Incense crept out upon the air. He drew the hood still closer over hi beard and crossed tha open apace to the other aide of tha chapel. Hera be had to pas a whole Una of window, and the profile of the nuua were turned toward him. ie row ahorteued hi stride and drooped hi abouldera the better to perform tha part he waa assuming, and passed on with out a glance to tha right or to the left. Aa aoon aa the windows were passed he rilaed bis head and looked round again. Ha viae at the edge of the burying ground, and over In the extreme corner under the wall be saw the stone he bad come In acarch of. He recognized It by the semi circular top there was not another I ke It in the Iuclosure and hia heart quickened a little a he pi. ked hi way across the grave. The unset sky had changed from crlm aon to saffron, from aatTmn to a clear pearly grey, and atlll the brown cloak atood inotlonle-a before the headetone in the far comer of the convent grave ) ard. Mr. Mallett bad received a shock that ant. rely banished hia preconceived ideas; and tha new bel.efa that crowded upon b in were so conflicting and confusing that for a time he wa overwhelmed with perplexity. "fauline Telling Med Msy 20. 1." He read the aimple Inscription over and over again; the more he pondered It tha le he understood bow It waa that ha had been decoyed by fata Into thle fruitless Journey. Why should hla niece, Pauline Mail ing, have a picture of tha grave of Pau line Palling In her possession t for h no longer doubted that tha lady reign ing at Mallineford Park was hla niece, and concluded that thia wa tha grave of soma other person presumably tha wife of hla friend, Captain Palling. Ha remembered the captain' Impressive lit tle etory of hi unhappy marriage and Ita prematura denouement; and Mr. Mallett had no doubt whatever that he waa now standing by the grave of that gentleman'a nife. 8till the question kept repeating ltelf: Why should hi niece of the same Chrletlan name, too treaaure up thla picture of Mrs. Telling's grave? Ha amlled to himself at the freak of fortune that ordained the obliteratnon of Juat tha first to letter of tha surname, and wondered at tha Insignificance of the trifle that had drawn him from EoglanJ on such a wilj goose rhaael Tha servant, to all appearance boar ver her atewpana la the kitchen, waa working herself Into fever of fright tha expected tha exhortation to finish di rectly, and then tha alatera would winder U aboat the gronnde, sad her aaysterV Oue visitor would ba d'.ecevered.

CRAE.HB fort; but aha waa aura It had not yet gone back. At last, unable to bear tha anxiety any longer, aha decided that aha must at all rlska go and warp tha man away before harm rama of hie dilatortuesa. Catching up a basket, and muttering a few worda about garnishing to tha other busy siaters, she started for tha grave yard. Khe hurried along, keeping well out of a ght of tha alatera at tbelr devo tion, ntd aha reached the corner. - "Come away at once! You will ba d eoovered!" Mr. Mallett waa atartled for mo ment. "You are the woman who helped Cas tel'au to admit me?" "Yes; but for pity'a aaka come away now, or wa shall all ba ruined!" There was no mistaking the terror In tha poor woman's face; and he started at once. They walked quickly over ftis grass; but for all hia hurry, Mr. Mal lett managed to ask two questions and get two repliea beiora they reached tha small door by which ba had entered. "What aort of a person waa that Pan Pne Pelling, who liea buried there?" he asked. "She waa a mere babe, only three months old. She waa born lu tha hos pital of this town, long ainca abandoned." "Merciful heaven!" exclaimed Mr. Mallett, gating at her la blank astonish ment. Tba woman waa hurrying him along tha narrow passage, for every moment now might lead to discovery. "And It mother?" he gasped. "Wa tha beautiful fair lady for whom Senor Castellan took tha view of tha grave Just before aha aet out for England." And before Mr. Mallett had recovered from hi laat aurprlse be found himself ontelda the door, with hla boota on tha path beside him, hla brain In a whirl of conflicting thought. "Pelling ha by aome mean Jumped to tha conclusion, or been led to It In tentionally, perhaps, that hla wife died In this convent and I burled here, while In truth It I hla child' grave, and hia wife i atill living; and, according to tha present aspect of affair, Pelling' wife and Paulina Mailing are evidently one! And aha, Paulina Mailing, or Pelling, or whatever she la, la going to ba married to Dornton to-morrow morning, and aha haa one husband atill living I (, wonder If she know that ha la atlll alive? After all, If this turn out true and It look very like It I ahall reiume my rightful position at Malllngford, for thla rtri haa disobeyed tha clause In Paul' will about marrying without Summer' consent And that provide the motive for her conduct. She knew, If her hushand found her, she would ha compelled to resign tha estate. Well, aha baa played a suc cessful game ao far; It la my Inning now." And that evening Mr. Mallett, who had not been across a horaa for nearly twenty year, rode the twelve mile of execrable road that lay between Villa Hilentlo and Kassilla, and prepared and delivered personally several telegrams to be dispatched directly tha office opened In the morning. CHAPTER XXI. Tha eighteenth of September wa a damp, comfortless morning, and Mailing ford Park looked particularly desolate. The aky we of a dull gray, and tha rain drlr.xled steadily all tha day through. ltabette waa busy In .Nils Mailing's dressing room. It waa half past nine o'clock, and aha bad Just returned from seeing her mistress off by train. Nona of the guests were astir yet, and tha house wa unusually silent, a It was likely to ba for aome hors. Tha ball of the prevloua night had been exceedingly spirited, and wa not concluded until nearly ! o'clock, o that the visitors would not b likely to he astir very early. ' ltabette was to Join her mistress at Chur n Cross station with the luggage at half past 2, and, though her mind was full of tormenting doubts aa to tha day's event, she went about her business a methodically a though nothing un usual had happened. Tenderly and care fully she folded up the elaborate gown of rreani-cblored satin, with Its draperlea df thick costly lace, and It superb bou quet of deep crimson blossom. In which Mis Mailing delighted tha eve of her admirers at the hall. Very circumspect ly she placed the magnificent diamond and rubles, with which her mistress had adorned her shapely throat and arms. In their case, and then packed them In a email oaken box with steel clamp. Then she went round the room with her key and locked and strapped the traveling trunk one after another. That done, she sot down to wait, aha knew not for what. Captain Pelling received a telegram at a quarter to 11 that morning which filled him with aurprlse and curiosity. It ran: ' "At all risk get to Hlshopsgate church la time to sea a wedding Hied for thla morning, and obtain a good view of tha brlde'a face." Tha telegram had been dispatched from Pass. Ilia, and ha remembered tha name as that of the nearest railway sta tion to tha convent where ha had found hla wlfe'a grave. Without knowing why, ha felt that he must obey tha telegram, and ha waa Just In time to catch tha 11 o'clock expresa for Waterloo. On arriv ing at his destination. Captain Tailing ran hia eye rapidly down tha oab rank within tha station, picked ont tha amart eat looking horaa, aprang Into tha cab, and called through tha trap to tha driver: "A sovereign If yon reach Dlshopsgate church by twenty minute to Mr Tha horaa Justified bis good opinion, and the drive wa accomplished la good time. The chnrch doora wera open, and a four wheeled cab waa waiting ontalde. He crept In vary quietly, and walked np tha aisle, not wishing to disturb the ser vice, for ha did not know whit ha wia there for eava to aee tha brlde'a face. Ha Judged rightly that hla future conduct waa ta ba guided by that Inepectlon. Tha church wis cold and gloomy thla miserable morning, and few peraoni wera acattered here and there among tha seata, attracted p.e.bly more by corl oalty ttisa loterest. Aa Tentng advanced, ha wii atrark by the eubdued rlchneea of tha brlde'a cos tun, and ha waa not little eurprle ad at tha absence of tha nana attend ants for tha old lady stalling behind tba bride evidently filled tha office of paw opener. Tha brlda aai bridegroom wera fine couple, tha bU beiaf flWte all feet high, while tba lily fti .he wall preportloaed. Pel'lnj waat aJet!y lien tag gfVaal until ha reached the aod nearest t the) altar, and then ba waited for tha bride to turn ber fare toward hi in. The tier gyman'a voice went on with the service: "Wilt thou obey him and aerva him. love, honor and keep hUn In aickaess and In health, and, forsaking all other, keep thea only nnto him, ao long aa ye both shall live?" Then, for tha fret time, aha turned toward Tailing. Her expression waa one of unmixed rapture aa aha raised her eyes to tha bridegroom's, and ber Ilpa were unclosed to speak the word "I will," when aha became aware of Pelling' fixed tare of horror. Hia gaia attracted her Involuntarily, and ahe looked Instinctively over Jack'a ahoulder in hi direction. Jack, wondering what waa the matter anil fearing aha wa going ta faint, prompted ber with tha abort anawer. She did nut apeak, but continued to gaze over hia ahoulder at tha man who had ao unaccountably riveted her atten tion. Her under jaw dropped apaimod Ically, her eye became aa fixed aa those aha waa gsxing Into, and every vestige of life and color left her face. Tha next thing Jack seemed to reallia waa that a gentleman wearing a lgiht overcoat wa speaking quietly to tha as tonished clergyman and suggesting that tha lady should ba taken to tba vestry, aa she waa evidently very lib Tha scattered congregation looked at each other in wondering curiosity ai the bridal party dinappeared. They lingered awhile until tha old pew opener returned and begged them to depart, aa aha desired to close the church. Pauline, with dull, dated despair In ber eyes, sat in tha vestry, listening to, without understanding, tha conversation of the three men grouped around her. "I am extremely aorry," Telling said, In answer to tha clergyman's request for an explanation; "but it would have been criminal to allow tha matter to go fur ther, for the lady la my wife." "Your wife?" echoed Jack, Incredu lously. "Yea, air, my wife!" Telling replied, with tha least touch of hauteur. "I have believed her to ba dead for tha laat six years in fact, I believed it ao thor oughly that I ahould not hira believed my eyea thla morning If her own conduct had not betrayed her. It li possible that she thought I wn dead, aa I have been In Central Africa for aeveral years; and 1 understand the expedition of which I waa a member haa been three or four tlmea reported In tha newspapers aa complete ly exterminated." "And how came you to present your self ao opportunely thia morning?" asked tha clergyman. "That Is more than I understand my self at present; but I think It la due to accidental discoveries made la Spain by a friend of mine who haa gone hither ou business of hla own. How It happens that I have been led to believe In my wlfo'a death all these years and never found out my mistake before I cannot understand." ,"Mis Mailing took her mother's name when she Inherited tha estate; perhapa that may explain matters," put In Jack. "What estate?" asked Telling sharp ly. "It la all too long to dlacusa now," Jack anawered: "but no doubt tha change of name accounta for your Ignorance of your wife's existence." (To be continued.) HOUSEBOATS IN SUMMER. Citlaena of Reattle Who Live All Year la Floating; Mansions. Boattlo reople, although they have no legitimate excuse for leaving town In summer at people who llva In hot cltlea have, nevertheless prefer to aplce their Uvea with that variety which keeps existence from becoming fiat, and ao they build houseboats and go to the Inke and various points on the aound to live on the water that they can aee from almost every street in town, says the Seattle Times. Lake Washington has the largest collection of houseboats. Lying along the beach from above Madison Tark to I.eschl there are a great number of pretty water dwellings of many differ ent designs. With the trees of the shore for a background and the waters of the lake for one's front yard, It hi hard to Imagine a more delightful lo cation foa, a summer home.- One of the most artistic and com fortable of the Lake Washington houseboats Is the low, green bunga low owned by Mrs. C. II. Tomeroy. It floats well out into the water, Is roomy and comfortable, and haa a sloping shingled roof stained green. There Is a very wide veranda In front and at the sides, with a boxed In rail and porch gardens and Is easily one of the most satisfying places to pass a summer evening that could be Imag ined. Its advantages are well appre ciated, for Mrs. Tomeroy has leased It this season to a number of young bachelors, who combine the Joys of ontdiMir living with the neocssnry at tention to business downtown. There are two canoes slung up un der the eaves and many other evi dences of an enjoyable time indoors and out. The Tomeroy houseboat Is more elnboratidy furnished than are most summer places of the kind and resembles a permanent home In the city, with Its rugs, good pictures, books and library furniture. There Is a huge fireplace of gray stone also, which suggests winter comfort. Mm. Tomeroy uses her houseboat for her winter residence when she Is In town, finding the winters on the lake as de lightful In many ways as are the sum mers. W. A. Malloy Las a comfortable houseboat, convenient to the car line, a double-decker, with the porch U- stalr. Mr. Malloy's summer home Is also his all the year home, for he and his family are others of the winter de votees of the lake. J. E. Chllberg's beautiful houseboat at Eagle harbor solves the problem of comfort, convenience and elegance combined with a life that la not only as free as air, bat Is In the air Itself. His luxurious summer home Is the most elaborate of Ita type In these wa ters and lifts the development of the houseboat several notches. It was built this year and lies behind Wing point, at Eagle harbor.
