Ho wa thin, nnd worn, an J aged; hl broad, manly figure lii) shrunk; hi shoulders stooped; the eye Hint used In be brave an.l buoyant, now looked wesry and lifeless. She was allocked to see him o changed. He laughed shortly an.1 bitterly as lie look rj at her. "I hate come half across Kurope to net you, traveling night anJ day through nil this front anil snow. I have taken no real, ami scarcely any food for four days, anl nil yon can find to a.ir to me nt the end of It ! to revile me for not keeping out of jour way." "What hare jro come fori" she re peated more gently. "What hare I come for? To ee you. Itossmond to still the raging hunger at my heart. HecauM, when I found out where you were, I could nit reit until I saw you again. "How did you hear where I was? ehe said wonderingly. There waa a man, a poor fellow from thU part or the country he wa con eumptlre. I think who met u. I heard It from Mm at Mrntoae." Mary'a brother! She understood It then. There waa a sort of fatality about It. KHe ait down wearily. "What have you l.een doing with your eelf. HrianT You look fearfully fit." "1 hare been III for month. We started, my cousin, Bdgsr ltalkcs, and I, to go to China, Australia, heaven knowa where. We began by a fortnight In the Austrian Tyrol, and there I got laid up -with a aert of fever.

In such weather and m your pres ent atate! What raadHe. Urian! It Is enough to kill you!" She looked at him with a kindly pity ing concern. What aarpried herself nore than she could account for waa the titter caluiaes and Indifference what which abe aaw him. Save In the first moment of surprise, her pulse had beat no faster for hi preeoce. His voice had no tower to thrill her. "When trust is gone." he told herself a she looked at hlra, "then the founda tions of the building are undermined, and with time and atneaee the Wol It eelf soon crumbles Into powder." Alead ehe said to him. with a kindly reproach In her rolce: "What folly could Induce you to undertake aueh a journey for nothing, ltrUnT" "Do yon call It nothing, then, that I nni here, that I can see you onee more, bear your rolce, touch yonr bandar He knelt down before her on the liearthrug. and took her hand bis own trembled and shook, hers was as cold Ice and as perfectly nnresponslre. "Kosamond, tell me oace again let me liear from your lips that you lore me ttlll. Then I will go. I ask for nothing more. That will be enough for me. Tel! me that, once, and I will leave you." "I cannot tell yon that I lore you, 1 Irian," she said coldly, wondering, as ehe spoke, at the fearful evidence of i-clGsbness of which aueh words, from this man to her whose life he had spoil ed, garo evidence. "You cannet aay sol Do you mean (bat you do not lore me, Uosamond? It Is Impossible! You eannot bare ceased to care for me." 6be withdrew her hands from fait, and reached them up behind her head with a eary action. Her eyes wandered away from his pleading, earnest iaet that was haggard with passion and misery. Per a moment or two she was silent, then very slowly she said: "The one thing under the sun which Is absolutely Impossible, Ilrlan, Is to re klndlo the asbra of a dead fire." He rose from his kneeling attitude at tier feet, and stood with bis back to the mantelpiece. Then he drew a loug, shiv ering breath. "Ah I It Is dead, then," he said, almost In a whisper. "Yes," she answered, still not looking at him. "It U dead. Thank (lod! thank God!" There waa silence between them for the space of four or fire minute sboo lute alienee, during which the dock tick ed steadily and the fire logs sparkled Hnd crackled, and Ilrlan Desmesd faced the bitterest and crudest moment of his whole I'fe. It waa Uosamond who spoke first. "You bare left your wife, Urian, at MentoneV" He started. "My wife! Good heavens I Surely you ".now you mutt have beard!" She looked at blui with interest, What Is It? I hare beard nothing." "la It possible that you do not know that my wife left ue before I went abroad?" "Your wife left you!" she repeated In n rolce of dismay. "Do you mean that you are not living with her that you lire separated from her'" "She, nt nil erents, has separated her self from me," he said bitterly. "It hecms that no woman can stick to me uow. Very likely I descrre It," "Uut, Urian," abe cried eagerly, "I don't understand! Do you mean that she left her home and went away? What made her leave you?" "Her own Idiotic jealousy," he replied Irritably. "Hume one, I believe, saw us together that one evening do you re member It, Uosamond '" Gould she erer forget It? Although the anguish of It waa past, the bare recollection of that day In London was unicleut to make her shudder. "Yes, yes, go on," she said, hastily. "I dou't know who It was. Klthyr an Interfering young fool, called Sir Hoy (irautley, who Imagined himself to be In Jove with heft or ele a mlsehlef-inaklng pinan colled toiuoi, i never can mane L which: but ono ot tuem must nave Kivtu toWther And told her.

"Where i that girl, Ann?" "She Is out In the park, ma'am." "She I alway out in the nark. It isn't fit for her to be out at all In such weather, with that cough of hers that never gets any better. Inttead of being a comfort to me. sue I nothing but a (Harden and a ro4ponibUity.

I think in my old age. that It is bard to be saddled with a ue-Ie- child like that" The speaker was Mr. Stiecurden; she stood at the ball door shading her eye from the bright winter sunshine, and looking out erer the tnow-eerered shtye that reached away, one below the other, lilt they sank Into the daulmg whHones of the plains betew. She bad not look ed long before she espied between the black trunks of the beeea grove some quarter of a mile away a small dark robed figHre that wandered slowiy and aliule-wly orer the crlp, snow-eorered gras. "There she K" muttered the koue keeper. with a pucker of annoyance on her rorohead. 'Toor ferkjrse. half-witted creature, sauntering along a If it was midsummer; with no more notion of tak ing eare of herself than if she was a baby. Tom," she called out to one of the gardener, who was sweeping the snow in a desultory manner away from the front door. "s and I ell Catherine that I want her." She came obedient to the summon. A small, wlsp-Mke figure of a girl In her dark dress, with a faee that seemed scarcely human Is lu absolute transpar ent pallor. "You wanted mo, Mrs. Sureurdeu?" "Ye. I want you to come fat: It Is net fit for you to be wandering about In the snow Hke that. Hart you us shod the beet dinner service, a I told you?" "Yes. I have done all the work you set me to do." "Come in then, and go and dot the glass in the octagon room." Kitten did what she was told. She went into the octagon room. It was the room whero Kdgar Italkes used to alt the room which Urian bad once used as bis own, and where the photograph of II Us Gray stood li lu trame with the elosed brass doors, upoti the manlofaaholf. It waa a place that had a strange fasci nation for Kltioa. She would stand whole mlftutos at a time woIIohUm at the window that looked out ever the now bar res trees towards the groy church tower In the hollow. Kitten never went Into the octagon room without dreaming by the window for a while, nor without a glance inahle the closed doors at ItoaamoMd Gray's picture. This self-torture, which kept her lore and her pain alire, bocaine a sort of religious duty to her. "Was I not right to leave Mm?" she would aay to borself, almost with tri umph, "slnee be lured her so much, and could never, by any effort, hare set me In her place? Are nut all the mUtakw of thla world made by the women who struggle for a man's love which thero la no hope of their getting? Hotter to lot It go." There was a glats-doored cablnot in the corner of the octagon room. It was filled up to the topmost shelf with specimens of old cut glass. It was part of Kitten's duty to dust the glass nnd the shelves, and to replace those valua ble objeets In order In their place. Kit ten, mounted upon a low pair of titcps, was carefully dusting an old goblet of greenlsh-buftd crystal, which alio knew better than Mrs. Succurden oould tell her, was of untold value, being absolute ly unlijuu and unrepldccsble; she was tt.ll dreaming about Hrlau's youth, about the beautiful girl whom he had loved ling ego. She could hear Mrs. fiuccurden's voice talking volubly, and with a certain agi tation and anttaalwa width wa ununl to her, ami as the roioe drew nearer, she was aWe to drHtNrh the bo keeper's word. -ThU way. ml dear me, I Veg your rMl.to ma'sm I should have aW! You haven't forgotten the way 111 be hound dearie me, to think ot seetus y again after aW theoo years! It do scow strange Indeed! Ami to think of your living so near, toe only at DunsterUm, and your never baring com over to see the eld place before! "Well. I bar been a ms time, cer tainly, in coming to see you. Mr. S curden," replied a clear, crisp voice, with a pleasant ring In It, pre-eminently th voire of a lady, as Kit tew wa ltaatly aware, and how great H the charm of a reamed and wH-Hr4 voice. "1 owe it to my ham. but to-day. I had a fancy to bring my friend. I'ol Trefavd. to look at the vfearag gable and at th dear ohl euureh, and as we were near, why. I couhi not re4t the temptation of eowtls oat art the park." "Along the old path, mi ma'am. I mean! Ah. how many a time I've seen you rome prlnring up the slope with your Hcut stops!" They were well within the room by now The tall lady m her mug fur cloak, and the slight luured gentleman a lit tit behind her. Iooktc about him whh keen, khtdly blue eye, and behind them both. Mr. Suceord, In her white cap and black llk sown, with her basket of key In her hand. Kit ten, from bet rantaae irroaud at the top of the step. could ere the group who Invaded her oUtrade. while thoy were unaware of her jCtWarJ. "You hare a great deal of gh hero," Mid the gentleman to Mr. Succstrdou. "Ah. you wowM Hke to go over the booe, no doubt, dr." reptiod the honor keeper. "1 wW o fat I ran ftmt the head gardener, ho H goaeratly about at thbi hour." She led the way out of the room: the gentleman went with her. The lady In the long fur Hoak made no effort to fad low them. She wa left aloue. sbimHus by the window where Kitten had o often Mood with her toefc to the room, and her eye ri vetted upon the grey rhnrrh tower. Itwvamoud moved from the window at fenetb: then she did exactly what Kit ton herself hod dono hundred of time. She went otraighl to the mantelpiece, and opened the brao doors of the paint ed miniature. She tok It down from H place and rased Ion and ea meetly at the lovely faro, bright with youth and hapcduoM. that smiled hock at nor. She turned away fnm the replace, lea ring the doors of the picture wide amen. Then Kitten stw her fare, and behind It that other faro, that wa the same, only not the same. The beautiful feature were unaltered, the eye were as lovely, the proud pa of the head was unmWskable. only that in the living woman the curve of the Uuchlug mouth of the pictured one were drooped ami saddened, ami the hand of orrow ami vofferlug had swept like a storm cloud oer the once bright and fenrlee brow. Hut all that Kitten realised at that mo ment was one thing alone. Tht wa Hoeamoud ICarle. whom UrUn Deemoud loved! The room swam round her. her wide open eye grew dark and dated with un epeakabte pain and aagokh. then came a rrash. and the harp ring of broken glass a the mediaeval goblet felt shattered into a thousand atom upon the parquet fearing, then a dull, heavy thud, ami a little ilark-robed form tdlptwd suddeuly down from the top of the step Into a huddled mas upon the ground.
