axlr o f sudden decision and awakening.
“ W e ll." said Fraser, rubbing his hands
a m i beaming, “ the interview ought to be
a pleasant one. I ’ll not keep ye from it

T h e tw o shook hands on the pavement

The m ajor had not k a n y people to talk
to at Houfoy, and the unrestricted use
of hia native language was like s treat
to hiss. H s did not notice Maskelyne’ s
silence until he had exhausted his own
budget o f news and had made hia final
reflection upon its contents.
B y that
time it began to strike him that Maske
lyne’s manner was unusually subdued and
serious.
“ I say,” hs exclaimed, stopping short
and turning to face the yonng American,
"you ’re not looking very bright, just now.

“ N o,” returned Maakelyne, “ I
have
been very well. M ajor Butler, I wanted
to m y a word to you upon a topic o f great
moment to myself.”
“ Yea?” m id the major, facing him, and
transferring his gun from on# arm to the
other. '
“ You are Mins Butler’s guardian,” m id
Maakelyne; and this time the m ajor’s
heart bumped, for he m w what waa com
ing. “ I have to ask your permission to
approach your niece with an offer o f mar-
riage.”
“ M y dear Maakelyne,” m id Butler, a l
most ss hurriedly ss If he had feared the
offer might be retracted, ” 1 am delighted
to hear you m y ao, and I wish you lock.”
“ I am right in assuming that Mias B u t
ler is free?” asked Maakelyne.
“ Certainly,” m id
Butler, “ certainly.
She’s only a child. N ever had a proposal
in her life. I thought you had something
o f this kind on your mind when yon
were here before. That is, I fancied yon
might have. W ill you speak to her your-
self, or shall I? ”
B efore Maakelyne could reply Angela
herself appeared at the edge o f her favor
ite pine wood— at the Identical spot, if
anybody had known It, at which O’R ouike
had been detected by Dobroakl in the act
o f embracing the pretty widow. Msske
iyne raised his hot and Angels came for
ward to meet them.
*
“ I w ill speak for m ym lf,” m id the
lover in an undertone, “ if yon will aUow
me.”
“ O f conns,” replied tbs major, “ o f
course.”
H e began to beam with triumph and
complacency. Angela, blushing and pale
by turns, walked toigard them at ao slow
a pace that Msskeiyne thought her reluc
tant.
She shook hands with enforced
smile.
/
T o n have finished your business in
England?” she asked. “ Welcome to Hou
fo y ."
“ Look here, Maakelyne,” m id the ma
jo r ; “ you’ll excuse me for just a minute,
I know.”
W ith that he turned tail and
bolted triumphantly, and Msskeiyne stood
holding the girl’s hsnd in his own. She
made a little attempt to withdraw it, but
he insisted on retaining it, and shs 1st it
“ I had no busin« ■- in England,” m id
Maakelyne; “ but I «ras afraid to come
back.”
“ A fra id ? "
“ I don’t know how I found the cour
age to come at all,” he answered. “ But
I had to come.”
Angela made another
little movement to withdraw her hand,
but he held it still. “ Miss Butler, I love
y o u : and I am here to. ask you if you
w ill be my w ife.”
Mias Butler bent her bead and m id
nothing; hut he was not to be beaten
now by anything short o f sheer defeat.
“ I never thought o f marriage until I
w yon,” he pursued; “ and if you m y
no. I ’ll go array at once, and be no more
trouble to you.
I ’m a worthless good-
for-nothing sort o f a fellow, and I ’ve
never done anything bnt loaf about and
spend other people’s earnings; bnt I think
I should be s better man if you took me
in hand. I f I didn’t believe so I should
be too much ashamed to dare to ask you.
W ill you try me, M im Butler? I should
have one merit. I don’t believe anybody
was ever so dear to anybody else as you
are to me.“
Still M im B utler bent her head and
m id nothing. H e took her hand in both
his own.
“ Angels,” he mid, “ do yon send me
sw ay again? Am I to go back?”
“ N o,” m id Angels, in an almost inaudi
ble whisper.

The question o f settlements took tbs
whole party to London, and In London

was delighted w ith the news o f the ap
proaching marriage.
She and Angela
were very confidential together, and suit
ed each other perfectly. Lucy had taken
a peculiar and tender Interest in the
young woman's love affairs, and
had
brought her husband to a quarrel with
hia oldest friend concerning them. I t was
hsrdly in nature that O ’ R oark* should
be le ft out o f their talk.
“ I m w from the very first thst Mr.
Maskslyne cared for you,” m id L u c y ;
“ and I thought you qared for him. But
I waa afraid at ooe time that you would
loae each other. The course o f true love
does sot always run smooth, and Mr.
Maakelyne ia very delicate and rather
self-distrustful.
“ I t waa my owa fault,” said Angela,
w ith a blush, “ i f wa were la danger o f
misunderstanding each other.”
“ No, my dear,“ returned Lucy, with
gentle decision. “ I t was the fault o f a
third person. Poor little Mrs. Spry ought'
to be m ved from that mercenary wretch."
I t was not easy to am what could be
done but to b a n the patriot to hia bam
triumph and the poor lltti* widow to her
inevitable sufferings.
Bnt It happened
that when Angela had gone away, F ra
ser strolled i n ; and since Fraser had be
gun to hate O ’Ronrke, nothing had pleas
ed him so much ss to talk about his
enemy. H * talked about him now, end
Lacy, who was fa ll o f the new proof of
O’Rourke’s wickedness, related It, binding
Fraser to solsma secrecy.
“ You see," she mid, “ that nothing can
be dona; bnt everything shows how badly
hs baa acted.
Nobody eaa tell Mrs.
You know perhaps what womea
are, Mr. Fraser. T h ey are very blind
anybody who tries to open their eyes. It
would only make her very unhappy, and
she would still go on her own way.”
“ *Tis like enough,” said Fraser, hut
he smiled ineffably, and shook hia head
with a wonderful blending o f complacen
cy and pity. “ W here's the poor deluded
thing livin ’ ?" he asked, smiliugljr.
\
Lucy told him, and he wagged his head
up and down, this time with s smile that
bad a suggestion o f spticipatory triumph
in it.
Very shortly afterw ard he took
his leave, and all the way home he smiled.
Home reached, he m t down at his desk
and wrote this letter:
“ M y Dear Madame— I f I leave this let

shelter myself behind the shield o f dafk
ness which the writer o f libel occasionally
finds useful. It is because I know enough
o f human nature to be aware o f the fact
that an unsigned communication ia al

show this to Mr. Hector O’ Rourke— if
you feel that your happiness In any way
depends upon it— why he resigned his
pretensions to th* hand o f M im Butler, of
Houfoy, near Janenne. Ask him why he
quarreled with his friend Mr. Maakelyne,
and why he does not repay that gentle
man the money he owes him. Ask kim

shrink from th* ordeal, or deny my hand

means, also.”
“ I ’ll teach the sneaking villain to play
false with me,” m id Fraser.
“ Th ere’s
nothing speaking in that, anyway,” he
added, surveying his own work admiring
ly.-
And with this conclusion he walked
out and w ith hia own hands posted the
letter.
