Jack flashed furiously, and half rose

to keep calm.
“ I asked you to be patient with me,”

matter is this— waa the engagement be

upon with avidity by tha gossip purvey
ors.
It was “dished” and “redished”
day after day, with numberless distor
tions, exaggerations and addition*. One
society journal had it that the beautiful
Misa M -------of M -------- Park. In Exbrldge-
ahire, had attempted to poison her hus
band, to whom she had been aecretly
married only a month or two, in order to
become the wife of a celebrated R. 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 hla would-be succes
sor outside the sacred edifice, insisted
upon a duel there and then, and wound
ed him dangerously in the shoulder, and
that the unfortunate man now lay in a
most critical condition,- while the hat
band had carried off his reluctant bride,
a veritable prisoner, on board his yacht,
for a twelvemonth's cruise In the P a
cific.
A t last Pelling, annoyed beyond meas
ure at these absurd stories, decided to
lay bare the truth. W ith the assistance
of his lawyer, he drew up a concise state
ment of the real facts, giving his own
and Pauline's name in full, but suppress
ing Jack's.
H e carefully conveyed the
Idea that Pauline believed him to be
dead, and gave the circumstance to her
change of name aa sufficient to account
for his not having discovered her exist
ence since his return from Africa. This
he aent to two of the daily newspapers,
and. thus divested of all mystery, the
stery lost its charm, and no longer af
forded any Interest.
Pelling sent one of these newspapers,
with his own letter specially distinguish
ed, to Ethel by poet, and the next morn
ing he called in Buckingham street to
tnake matter* clearer.
Ethel's frank candor once more over
came the difllcultiee of the situation; ahe
stood at the top of the stairs with her
hands outstretched end her fees bright
with friendly interest.
I have been longing to see yon,” she
began, warmly, as they entered thé room;
*we have both so much that, is wonder
ful to tell each other!”
She looked at him steadfastly as ha
stood in the light from the window, and
whet aha saw In hia face quickened her
pulse with a sadden pity, bat she woald
not give w ay to tha impulse that urged
her to console him. She went on, a lit
tle hurriedly at first:
“ I « a n eee that yonr pleasant news is

Ethel paaaed. Pelling did not apeak,
and she fait a little anxious.
She had
unintentionally stumbled upon the sub
ject;
but ah* knew it could not be
avoided between them, so eh* screwed
up her courage and went oa:
“Perhaps I should not aay what I am

“ I can’t tell you ail about It,” he eadi.
“ I only know that my w ife refused to

she la now in P aris."
“ I f 1 were you I should go to P a r i*
too."
“I suppose I ought— in fact, I know
I ought— and I have tried to make up
my mind to go; but I cannot.”
For an instant he dropped hla head
upon his hand, and a great rush of pity
set Ethel’s heart beating oddly.
Ha
pulled himself together with an Impa
tient exclamation.
“ W h a t a bore you must think me!”
he said, quickly. “ Let ua drop tha sub
ject. I f I ever find you can help me In
any way, I will come ao you at once. Aa
things are now, the less aaid the better.
And so you are to possess the wealth
which Pauline has forfeited? I am very
glad— very, very glad— on all accounts
but one.”
“ And that Is?”
“ It will make Dornton'a task harder."
The blood rushed over Ethel’s face in
a quick flush, and it left again as quick
ly-
“1 don’t know what you mean,” she
said.
“ I mean that Dornton was beguiled by
my unhappy wife into doing aa he did,
that he was not master of his own ac

great deal to be assured of your entire
forgiveness. He has loved you all through

on the very day of the wedding, before
he could have known anything o f tha

“Thank yon for yonr kind defense of

A few weeks later Ethel and her
father were settled at Mallingford. Ajl
the necessary legal formalities had been
gone through, end the county families
had called upon Sir Geoffrey aad hia
daughter.
Lord Summers had suggest
ed that the baronet should have a public
reception; but Sir Geoffrey had sternly
and emphatically opposed any such dem
onstration. So father and daughter had
come down and been met at tha 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 hla brother’s time, sod had eaten their
first dinner at Mallingford as if they
had but just returned from a short visit.
