Continued.! "She was rory Indignant," said young Leslie, laughing, "when yon wouhlu't Iirto your name put on the tnblot In the chool home." "Wlmt tablet?" mhl Yolande. "Oh, n tablet saying Hint Mr. Melville hnil Imllt the school mul presented it to the people of Ore." "Ami I neTer contributed n farthlngl" he until. "She did the whole thin. Well, new, thnt show how artificial the posi tion Is; nnd, necessarily. It won't lust. Wo hnTe for so long been hypocrites for tho public Rood let us say it was for the public Rood; but there must come nu end." It wns really n most enjoyable, confi dential, pleasant evening; but It had conic to an end; and when the two young men left, both Yolamle nml her father Accompanied them to the door. The moou was risen now; and the Ioiir, wide Klen looked beautiful enough. "Well, now, Mr. Melrille," said Win trrbourne, ns they were roIiir nway, "whenever you have nn Itlle ercnlng, I hope you will remember us and take pity on us." "You may see too much of me." "That Is Impossible," said Yolamle, quickly; and then she added, Terr pret tily: "You know. Mr. Melville. If you come often enough you will find It quite this secret Is beyond anything I can tell you; and I do believe he would go through the wholo thing again just that Yolnndo'a mind should he free, happy, careless. When he goes about with her he forgets all worry thank goodness for that; nml certainly she N high-spirited enough for anything; you would think she had never known n care or n trou ble In all her existence; and I suppose that's about the truth." "I suppose there Is no necessity thnt I should know why the girl has Nou kept In Ignorance of her mother's exist ence?" "Oh, I will tell you the story misera ble ns It Is. You cannot Imagine a pleas- nnter creature than that wns when Win trrbourne married her. lie was older than she was; tint not much. It was neuralgia that began It; she suffered horribly. Then some Idiot advlsod her to drink port wine I suppose the very worst thing she could hnve tried, for If it bad for gout, It must be bad for rheu matism and neuralgia, and such things. However, It soothed her at first, I sup Ihvso; and no doubt she took refuge In It whenever n bad attack came on. Hut. mind you. It was not that that played the mischief with her. She herself be CAiue aware that she was being tempted to take too much; for quite suddenly she went to her husband, told him frank- natural that Duncan Hhould play for you ly that the habit was growing on her. Melville's Welcome Home." He stood for a moment uncertain; It wan the first sign of embarrassment he had shown that night. "Well," aald he, "that Is the most friendly thing that has been said to me for many a day. Who could resist such an invitation? Good night sood night!" OHAPTHtt IX. One evening John Shortland and Jack Melville were together standing at the door of the lodge, looking down the glen. The big, burly M. P. looked vexed, per turbed, Impatient. "Mr. Melville," he said, abruptly. In his bread Northumbrian Intonation, "will and declared her resolution to brook the thing off at once. "She did that. I firmly believe she did keep her resolution to the letter. Hut then tho poor wretch had worse and worse agony to bear; and then It was that somebody or other recommended her to try some of these patent medicines they make up from opium or morphia. I dare say It was harmless at first. No doubt she began with small doses. Hut it seems that those drugs are twenty times worse than brandy or whisky In destroying the power of the will; and so I suppose tho poor creature went on and on. Increasing the doses and destroying her brain at the same time, until In the swp-r-iIN W?veij2rMy r JWuPfiu tCT OHAPTHtt X. "Ho might have spared her he might hnvo spared her!" wns Mr. Wilder bourne's piteous cry, ns he snt In his friend's room, nml gated out through the streaming window panes on tho dis mal landscape beyond. And who wns to toll her? Who wns to bring grief and humiliation uu thnt fair young life? Who was to rob her of the beautiful dream and vision that her mother had nlwitys been to her? Not he, for one. Ho could not do It. And then might she not misunderstand nil this that hml been done to keep her in ignornnoe. Might she not be nngry at having all her life Ihvii surrounded by nn atmosphere of. concealment? If she were to mistake tho reason of her father having stooped to subterfuge nnd deceit? Was Yolande going to despise hint, then she. the only being In the world whoso opinion he cored for? And nlwnya his speculalions, nnd fears, nnd anxious con jectures came back tu this one point: "He might have spared her he might have spared her." "Now. look here, Wlnterhourne," John Shurtlands said, in his plalu-siokcn way. "If 1 were you, before I would say a word of this story to Yolamle, 1 would make sure thnt thnt would be sufficient for Leslie. He says thnt Yolande must be told: but will that sultlcc? Is that all he wants? If 1 were tu your place I would have a clear understanding. Do you know, I can't help thinking there Is something behind nil this that hasn't come out. If this young fellow Is really In earnest about Yolande If he Is really fond of her I don't think he would put this stumbling block In the way I don't think he would exact this sacrifice from you unless there was some other rea son. Yesterday nftcrnoon Melville said as little as he could. He didn't like tho Job. Hut ho hinted something nbout the disagreement between young Leslie nnd his family over this marriage." "I gueod as much," sld Winter bourne. "Yes. I have suspected It for some time. Otherwise I suppose his father nml aunt would have called on Yolande. They knew each other. Yo lande stayed n night at the Towers when Mr. Graham first brought her here until tho lodge was got ready." "Of course. If the fellow has any pluck, he won't let that stand In his way. In the meantime, a domestic row Isn't pleas ant: nnd I dare say he Is Impatient nnd nngry. Why should he revenge himself on Yolamle, one might ask? Hut that U not the fair way of putting it. I can see one explanation. I didn't see it yes terday; and the fact was I got pretty wild when I learned how lustier stood; nnd my own Impression was that kicking as a sight too good for him. I have been thinking over It since, though: the rain last night kept me awake. I can understand his saying JJ&t Simple Put-in tlule.

"about her father, Winterbourne is an old friend of mine; but the way he Is KIlig on at present, shilly-shallying, frightened to say this, frightened to say that.

"If there is anything disagreeable, akouldn't the knowledge of it be kept to as few people lis possible? I would rather have my Illusions left. The Wlntorbounios have been kind to me since they came here; nnd it has been delightful to me to look at these two the spectacle of father and daughter " "Oh, but I have nothing to ray against either of them. I suppose you know that your friend Leslie und Yolande are en gaged V" "I have understood as much." "Hut did he not tell ye?" wild Short lauds, with a utare. "Well, yea," the other said, in rather a cold way, "But we did not have mueh talk nbout it. Archie Leslie Is a very fine fellow; but ho and I don't nlwnys agree In our waya of looking nt things." Then, nt all events, In order to dis agree you must know what tils way of looking at things Is; and that Is Just the point I'm coming to," said Hhortlands, in his blunt, dogmatic way. "Yolande Winterbourne has been brought up all her life to bellevo that her mother died when ahe was a child; whereon the moth er Is not dead, but very much alive worse luck; und the point Is whether he ought to Iki told, whether he would con Kent to keep this knowledge back from Yolande, whp would only be shocked and horrified by It. Do ye undwstand?" "Hut, urcly," exclaimed Melville, with wide-open eyes, "surely the best thing the natural thing would be to tell the girl herself, first of all!" "Man alive, Wlnterhourne would rath er cut his throat! Don't you nee that his affection for the girl Is uulte extraordi nary? It U the nolo passion of his llfo; a needle-scratch on Yoht tide's finger Is like a knife to his heart. I assure you tho misery be has ndured in koeplug end she was simply n hopeless drunkard. It seems mlraculoui how women can go on destroying themselves with those In fernal drugs without being found out. I don't know whether Winterbourne would ever have found it nut: fur he Is an indulgent sort of chap, and he was very fond of her; but one night there was a seen at dinner. Then be dlseor ereil the whole thing. The child was sent away, for fear of further svuesi: and this no terrified tke mother that made the mot solemn promise nt-vr to touch tb imiiMM strain. Hut by this time her powr of lf -control bad gone. Man alive, I eaii't tell ye wlnt WluUr bourne bad to go through. Ills patience with her was superhuman: ami always the promise held out to her wnit that Yolamle was to be restored to her; and sometime she Micci-eUrd well that every one was liHfiil, and she eeMl to have quite rst-overed. Tlwu again there would be another re!ap; ami u wild struggle to conceal It from the friends of the family; and all the rest of It. "What a life he has led all those years trying to get her to live In some safe rctrvut or other; and then suddenly finding that she had broken out again, nnd gone to some people, Itomneys or Itomfords, the name Is, who hnve a most Iterntclous Influence over her, and can do anything with her when she is In that seml-maudlln state. Of course, they use her to extort money from Winter bourne; and she has drugged half her wits away; and it Is easy for them to persuade her that she haa been Ill-treated about Yolande. Then she will go down to the house, or hunt blm opt at his lodgings. There Is only one fortunate thing that the Itomfords are net aware of the terror In which ho lives of Yo lande getting to know the truth, or else thoy would put the screw on a good deal more forcibly, I reckon." "Hut that terrorism is perfectly fright- lui " "How are you to avoid It?" ahl Short lands, coolly. 'There is the one way, of course. There Is tho heroic remedy. Tell Yolande the wholo story; and then, the next time tho stone Is thrown, summon the police, give the woman lu charge. bind her over in recognizances, anil have nil your names In tho next day's paper. Some men could do that. Wliitorbourue couldn't; he hasn't the nerve." The answer to thns wan a strange one. It was a remark, or rather nn exclama tion, that Melville Beamed to make al most to himself, "And not one of them appears To see what ought to he done!" "What would you do, then?" "I?" sold Melville and John Rhort Iands did not obsurvo that tho refined, In tellectual face of his companion grew a shade paler as he spoke; "I?
