','-,T-vjJ''ws!?wp!'?,'' ivt' --rmp"ruzn-i' i rsswvy viv 1 I A Dead Past 2l By MRS. LOVCTT CAMCRON ,$ CHAPTER XXI. (Continued.. To save Kitten, or Indeed to benefit her even in the mallest degree, there wa nothing upon the face of the earth which Hoy was not prepared to ilo, or dare, or endure. Hut the question was not what he would Jo. hut whether Fe licia would feel disposed to sacrifice her Velf to save the reputation of a woman, Whom she knew but slightly, and to rrbom she owed nothing whatever, I)r degree, a he thought It over, ai b pondered upon Margaret'a suggestion, turning It over and oyer In hi mind, an entirely new and original Mm flashed Into lil brain. Why ahould he not pretend to be en gaged? And what good reaaon could Fe licia bring forward to refuse her consent to a merely nominal engagement which ahould last a couple of months at the longest? There really seemed nounng Impracticable to him In the Idea, f encta and he had alwaya understood each other perfectly and were ijulte capable of keep ing n secret between them. The more Roy thought about It the more ainiplc and easy did the whole thing eem, and the lew It entered Ida mind to Imagine that his cousin conk! refuse to co-operate with him. Felicia Grantley went about all one summer's day with a cloud upou her brow, a burJen of horrible uncertainty la her heart, ami a most alngular letter from Hoy in her pocket. Mr. Itaikes had aat for half an hour In Iter drawing room, balancing hi atlck between hia knee, and atarlng gloomily t the carpet. "What do you think," he asked her for the twentieth time; "shall I go abroad with ltrlan, or no?" "You mutt be the bet Judge of that. Mr. Itaikes," Felicia had answered cold ly rcry coldly. The measured tone struck Ice into hi ouL II.iw could he possibly guess that her heart was In a tumult, and that ahe had a difficulty In keeping back her tears? Kdgar Itaikes looked at her gloomily and miserably. She did not care then, he supposed, whether he stayed or west It made no difference to her; and how. Indeed, could he expect it. or now dare to frame In words the miserable thoughts that were surging In his heart; be who was a pauper, to thj girl, whose money and whose fears of being sought for her fortune, seemed to stand like a forbid ding angel between him and his chtefest desire. "I suppose then I had better go," he aald miserably, with an inflection that vraa almost a question in his Tolce, and ometblng wistful in his eyea which It was a pity that Felicia waa so engrossed with her red and yellow allks aa not to ee. "That is for you to decide," she said coldly. Her Try coldness should, perhaps hate shown him that she did care, hut he did not understand that. Few men know women well enough not alwaya to take what they aay for what they really mean. Edgar Itaikes merely supposed that hia case was hopeless. He shook hands with her In silence, and left her nnd when the front door had been slim med npon his departing footsteps, Feli cia Bang her silks and her plush on to the ground, laid her head upon the table In front of her 'and burst into tears. All this took place In the morning. And then came Itoy'a letter, and Felicia went bout her daily business, her shoppings nnd her Tlsitings, with a load of anxiety on her mind. In the erenlng she waa to Hire Hoy bla answer. They were to meet at some private theatricals, and It waa there that he 'would ask her for her decision, to surely the strangest proposal whleh a man erer wade to a woman. Whoa dinner time care Felicia was still undecided. For a wonder ahe waa dining at home with her father. They took their places In alienee opposite each other. And Mr. Grantley began his usu al comments. "Why didn't you ask Itaikes to din ner?" "He is staying with poor Mr. Des mond; I didn't like to ask him to leare him." That rtry morning Mr. Talbot saun tered down Bond street, when she al most stumbled Into Brian Desmond's arms as he came quickly round the cor ner of Grosveuor street. Here waa a chance 0 mischief making which our friend Gertrude waa not In the least likely to neglect. Bho laughed and stood still, ao Immediately In front of Mm that Iirlan had no chance but to atand still, too. "Vou nearly knocked me down!" ahe cried playfully. Then asked quickly "Any news of that naughty little truant, Mrs. Desmond r 'T haro not beard from my wife to day, answered Iirlan (rowulngly. "Oh! of course you know where ahe Is?" she cried lightly. "I tell crerybody no. I've been fighting her battles for her everywhere. Of course, there Is not an 11 torn of truth In all the unkind things people sny, as I tell everybody, ho truth ubout her, that Is to aay. Of course, you ire a very naughty, bad man Indeed! ' lirlan'a brow grew black aa thunder. No one had dared to breathe a word to him of scandal concerning bis wife. It had been I'M gar Ilalkea' constant care to nee that no such reports reached bis vara. Gertrude was pretty well certain thut ho bad been told of nothing. "Kindly explain yourself, Mrs. Tab hot." he aald haughtily and sternly, "What Is It concerning my wife that you tiro kind enough to tell people, and what ore the battles which you are generous enough to wage on her account?" "Oh, vaj dear fellow, don't look ao cross. X assure you 1 nave conirnaicieu It everywhere. Only Just now I met gome people who declared that Hoy Grantley waa still away; but It 1 quite unjrue, for I saw Hoy In a hansom not ten'mlnutes ago (he looked aa white aa sheet, by the way), but of all the false, wicked, cruel slauders on an Innocent I little darling like your wife! However, you and I know th world, dont we? nd, after all, for you to complain would If the pot calling the kettle black. Good by, Iirlan. I may call you so Just for tnee, mayn't 1? You ami I were al ways good friends, though you haven't paid me one compliment or admired my new dres; but then I know 'Fair Ho.v mend' Is all In all to you now!" And. with this parting shut she kissed her Angers lightly to him, and vanished round the corner of the street. Aa to Hrian, he turned slowly and dully away. He could not go down to the club, nor walk along HonJ street and St. James street now, to run the gauntlet of his friends' pitying or In quiring glances, lie turned back and wentslowly homeward. Ills miserable secret was known, ami his wife's name was coupled with that of another man. He met his cousin coming out ef his own houe. "We will start at ence this very night," he said to him. "I cannot bear the shame ef thU," and then he repeated to him what Mr. Talbot had said con cerning his wife. "Do not believe her," saM Bdgar Itaikes, stoutly. "To have repeated such a thing to you, she mtit be what I have always taken her to be, a bad-hearted woman. Stay at home like a man. Hrian, find your wife and vindicate her name by hrnging her back In the face of the world." "So. no, let us go, If not to-day, let it be to-morrow," he answered gloomily, for there was that other trouble, con cerning Itosamond Karle. of which he could speak to no one, weighing upon his bejrt. That, too, was, It seems, known and spoken about, and to save Itosamond'a name It seemed to him that he had no alternative, save to get him self away out of Hngland. There was no refuge for him save In flight. As to Kitten, she had been foolish, but her very simplicity and foolishness would save her. With Itosamond It was dif ferent. If Kitten's flight were once to be attriiHUed to Its true eause, then the voice of slander would not spare the woman of whom his wife was Jealous. He had made up bis mind to go. lly noon the next day a wonderful thing bad taken place. In every club. In every house where Mr. and Mrs. Desmond's name and story had been known, there went about a strange and astonishing piece of news. Everybody waa talking about It. Kir Itoy Grantley was engaged to hia cousin, the heiress. 'And, of course, said the fickle voice of the multitude, "it Is evidently Impos sible that there could have been any truth In that other story of his unfor tunste attachment to Mrs. DesmonJ." Kitten's name waa saved. And IMgsr Itaikes, going In for a mo ment to his club to get his letters, heard the atory, too. Then he went back to Lowndes Square, and be said: "Let us go at once." They started from Charing Cross that very night. CHAPTER XXII. It Is six months later. From July to January. A great many things In the worlds history may take place In six months. Some sueh thought was In the mind of a woman who sat very still in the twi light of a winters afternoon, staring dreamily Into the red coals of the fire it front of her. The world outside was white with snow. Know upon the cottage eaves, upon garden palings, and upon the atone pillars of the garden gate, snow in thick masses upon the laurel hedge, and a while pall upon the winding lane that vanished speedily away Into misty dark ness, and snow again upon the distant shoulders of round-backed hills whleh loomed weirdly against the gloomy sky. And the woman herself sat still and motionless by the fireside, with the red light flowing full upon her. Her dress it of black velvet, plain as any nun's, jet with a certain richness In Its har monious folds. There are white lace frills at her throat and wrists, and the gleam of diamond upon the baud upou wbleh she rent her oval cheek. Rosamond Karle Is doing what she has seldom allowed herself to do of lain; she Is dissecting her own heart. Insensibly she had grown to have but one Interest In her existence, one soli tary pleasure to whleh she looked for ward the periodical visits of her land lord, John Trefusls. Khe led a I If, of absolute seclusion at Dunstertou. The red brick cottage upon the ouUklrts of the village greet), with Its tiny lawn and Its miniature flower garden, and with the gliuipe of the Kepplngton bills away through the gate, bad suited her pur pose admirably. Hero she had battled through the worst of her sorrow, and had eome forth sen r red and wounded Indeed from the fight, but a ounqueror lu the end. "How right I was to go away at once and to leave no trace of my destina tion," she said to herself often. Hut she bad no Idea that Iirlan was abroad, or that Hrlan'a wife wua not living with him. In this far-away vil lage 110 records of the doings and say ings of the world had reached her ears, and she certainly flattered herself that her own retreat was absolutely unknown to all save to her one friend. Colonel Trefusls. And gradually and Insensibly this one friend became more and more to her. His unflagging devotion, bis unwearying kindness, could not fall lu the end to have some effect upon her. He never spoke to her of love, but the atmosphere of bis love surrounded her. Hbe did not love him, but she learned to depend upon him. It Is often said that a heart can be caught at a rebound. Her solitude was broken by her par lor maid, who tapped at the door and desired to kuow If she might apeak to her. She was a rosy-cheeked Yorkshire girl, whose father had been a farmer, but who bad failed, owing to bad sea sons and high rents, ao that his children had all had to go out Into the world and earn their living. Polly Wbafllo, aa she had been called In the day when ahe Idled her time over her father's farm gate, and when Edgar Ralkea employed his spire moment In making love to her, had enter I Mr. l!ai e service timn her first arrlvil at ibius.ortou. under the mure d g.ilflcd name of Mary. Some alv week ago .Mr. Ntrle had been very kt.nl ti Muy imther. who chest wa delicate. K 1 had Mi.lwiak 1 tii support him fur 1 to " winter tit lit oii h of Prince. id by the help mid as slime of td ..el Trefirl, yoilUg Wh.itlle had been sent out to nil Inv0.il t-:nbhhment mantged by nn Knglih el'terhood at Mentone, It wa of thl brother that Mary cime to speak. "I hate had a letter to-day from my brother, ma'am." "indeed, and how Is he, Mary?" "Oh, so much better nlreidy. ma'am, and so grstetul to you and the colonel fur all your g.vodnes to him." And then Mary proceeded to enter Into a detailed account of her brother's con dition ami of his surrounding at Men tone, which were all of great Interest to his benefactre. After which Mary said, rather hluhlngly, "And only think, ma'am, he met a friend there one day, sack a kind gentleman nhom we all used to know at home, Mr. Ralkea, who lived up at the Hall." "At Keppington, do you mean?" "Ye, ma'am, he was Mr. Desmond's cousin, nnd he used to live there, he was there two years, I daresay, and h wa a great friend of mine." she added, with a little cncioua simper. Mrs. liarle fell to muslug. Itaikes. Halfces, who wa he? Ah, yes! she fan cied she remembered a family of that name; many son ami many daughter. whoe mother wa a needy widow, and of whom mention used often to be made at Keppinton In years gone by. No doubt thl young man wa one of thl family. "He ha been very klHd indeed to young George," continued Polly, "ami Inquired so much after me: ami then he gave him three sovereigns for him self, so that George is quite rich now." 'That wa very kind of him," an swered her mistress absently. And then Mary left her, and she thought no more of It; nor did It occur to hrr to imaglna that through the Instrumentality of George Whatlle It would be polble for Hrian Desmond to learn where it was she was living. Edgar Ralke might be his couln, and he might also be at Mentoao. bub that Hrian should hav been a bystander at the Interview be tween the two certainly never entered for a moment Into her calculation. Eleven o'clock struck. The last note of the clock had scarcely rung before she caught a sound outside at the gar den gate; the click of the Iron latch, then the slow swing of the hinge followed by the clang of the gate a it fell back again. Her dog put up his nose, ami ut tered a low growl. ltoamml shut up her book suddenly, and stood up. The door bell rang. She stood for a moment halt uncer tain. Should she summon the servants from their bed, or should she go to the door herself? At last, however, she opened the doer. There stood OHtshle, upon the doorstep, a man, wrapped In a long, !ooe travel ing cloak, with a heavy cap to It. When he saw her he made a half step back, as though he would have turned away. "Who are you and what do you want at this hour of the night?" said Rosa mend, summoning up her courage, al though ahe was secretly somewhat un easy. And then he sKke, and she rec ognized his voice.' "Forgive mo for coining at such an hour. The train broke down; I have walked five miles through the snow. May I come la?" She backed slowly from him into the hall; a great chill struck her soul, a sick sene of mlerable helplessness. He came in, divested himself of hi heavy cloak ami of hi hat, shaking the snow from them Into tbe porch. Her eyes rented upon him almost with terror and repulsion. "Why have you eome to trouble rae?" she said to him, in a strange, hollow voice, and yet she led the way back Into tbe warmth ami light of her sitting room. For bow turn a dog from her door on such a night! "Ah, how warm and bright!" he mur mured, stretching dawn his eoM hand towards the blazing wood togs. He look ed very cob! as he stooped over lb blaze, and so pale ami wan; It struck her with a keen pang of anguish to see him. "You must forgive me for coming se late, Rosamond," be said to hrr uue more. , "Why why have you coins, Hrian?" she, too, repeated once again. "Could you not at least keep out of my way?"
