The whole of that d.iy nltt passed In a state of great anxiety and suspense. Not until pact nine that night did Arthur re turn. The moment she saw hl face she knew that the hope' had failed. The quea tlon died upon her lips. Ha walked si lently Into their sitting room : eho helped hint oil with hU overcoat. "It was aa t euapeeled." he Id at length. "Mr father called upon the law. yens and their answer waa that they had received Instructions to take no fur ther step In the huetne. They could five no eiplanatlona whatever, aa they were tound crer to atrlct secrecy." Kleonore sank almoat filming Into a chair. Arthur also seemed to be tvm- pletely prostrated by the destruction of thl last hope. Unknowingly to nlinaur, he had clung to It a a lait reurce; until (hit had failed, he had not reallied ilea pair. Then all hope of saving IVnrhyddyn U gone?" ahe said' at last. In a hollow voice. "All!" he answered. "It will be my father' death blow l" Wylle, then, had deceived her. Oh, what a torrent of evil rushed throuah her heart at that thought! Hut revenge could wait. Could ahe conceive any mean to obtain delay? "Who are the mortgagee?' ahe asked, auddenly track by the thought that ahe heraelf would go an nJ Implore delay. Her power of faednatlon bad nerer failed yet ; they could not, ahould not, now. In this the moat momentous crUla of her life. The thought filled her with hope. She rose from her chair with flashed cheeka and sparkling ejea. "In reality. It la Mlaa Grierson who bolda the mortgage; out the affair I, of coume. In the band of the truateea her uncle and Mr. Wylle." "What whor ahrleked Kleonore.

Then a fearful erene. ensues. Thla revelation coming upon the mental agoniea of the bat few daya ia too much for the overwrought brain. She sobs, shriek, teara and beata hrelf. Wild, Incoherent self-accusations burst from her lip. One momtnt ahe calls upon her huabaud In terms of piaslonate en dearment: the next, shrieks forth the tnoit awful threats of vengeance against Wylle. Throughout the night she recovers from one fit oidy to fall Into another. Towards morning the paroxysms gradually decline, and ct last ahe alnks Into a deep and tnotlonleat slumber. Mrs. Freeman and Arthur ait by the bedside, and after a time he said. In a rh!sp.r. "What connection la there be tween Kleonore and thla Wylle?" "You must not ask me any question, Mr. 1'enrliyddyD," she answered, quickly. "It Is not my place to tell your wife's secrets." Toward 11 o'clock Kleonore awoke, but In such a feeble, exhausted condition that abo could scarcely move. At the sight of those dark, languid eyes resting upon him, Arthur forgot all but hi love. Hbe looked lost, vacant, at first; but gradually the revelation of last night eemed to break upon ber mind, for ahe aobbed, and he In vatu endeavored to pacify her. He had an appointment with hla father that morning which be must keep. When be told her that be waa going, she said. In a low, faint voice, "Stoop down, dear eat, and let me look at you." She took his face between her weak, trembling band and looked Into hla eye until the teara poured down her cheeka like rain; then she passionately kissed bis lip. "I'ut your arm round me and hold me to your heart, and kiss me a you used In the old daya." Ilia own tears flowed fast aa be took her In bla arm. Tbeu came upon btr a audden revulsion of feeling. "No, ro!" be cried, trying to push him away; 'curse me kill me ratier your klaset are fire I Oh, It la I who have destroyed you! Go from me. If you do not wish to drive me mad J" And she fell Into a paroxysm of sob ' blng, that made them fear lest another fit waa coming on. Hut It subsided after a. few moment Into moans and sobs. When bo la gone, ahe given way to an uncontrollable burst of teara. Hut It ex hauata Itself In time. Then her mood change; all that Is soft and gentle has flowed away, and ber face grows set and "rigid. "Good-bye to love," ahe mutters; .'now for revenge I" Mra, Freeman brings ber some roast chicken.

"Now do not ex postulate with me; you jught to know by this time how useless It la to oppose say humor."

"If you refuse to get down nad open the door, I shall take your number and report yout" "Oh, very well, mlaa; If you Insist, there's nothing more to be said. Hut If anything happens It ain't my fault; I waah my hand of It. You'd better keep the winders down." Hut ahe Is too much absorbed In her own thoughts to heed or even hear his word a. "If people cuts up rough, and glvea their aelres auch airs, let 'em take the coneekerences," mutters the driver, aa he remounts the box. "After all, why ahould I care? When I puta ber down she'll never set eyes on tue agajn." He puta ber down at the corner of the street In which Mr. Wylle'a office aland. She paya the fare, then walks the rest of the way, goes up the stairs, and Into the outer office. Mr. Fig and the Junior clerk are tere. Mr. Wylle Is not In, Mr. Fig Informs her will not be there pain thla trfc She take another cab, and la driven home. When she arrives there sh has Annua ciiahtijck scarcely sufficient strength to walk up the atepa. She lie down upon the couch, 4rrxied as she la, and falls Into a state of seml-conaciouaness, until she Is aroused by a knock at the door. "It la Arthur!" ahe cries, starting up. CHAITKIt XXVI. When Arthur arrived at lb hotel at which Sir Iaune was staying, a waiter Informed him that a gentleman of the name of Mr. Wylle had just been shown up to hi father'a room. This new aet bis heart beating a be hastened up the stairs. "I am delighted that your son has ar rived," said Mr. Wylle, with a malicious grin, a the young man entered the room : "aa I have certain things to say which concern him. Ho, Sir I,aunee, you batt no bo; of having the mortgage money by the thirtieth?" "None whatever, atr," answered Sir I-nunce coldly; "but I think common de cency might have delayed your vlalt un til that day. Healdra, my lawyera are the proper person for you to treat with," "I alwaya like to take time by the fore lock, and deal with principals, Hir Ijjunce," sneered Wylle; "and, after all, forty-eight hours do not make much dif ference." "If I were to aak you for forty-eight hours' grace, you would think they made a great dlffereure" "Quite right, Kir f.vinee; I should," answered Wylle, with an Insolent laugh: "and you would not get Iheui If you did ask." "My father Is not likely to ask any grnre of you, and If your bntlneas Is end ed, I command you to leave the room !" cried Arthur, passionately, "Hefore I retire, allow me to ask bow Mrs. IVnrhyddyn Is this morning?" said, Wylle, turning upon him with a hideous grin. Arthur staggered bark aa though he had been shot, and Sir I.aunce looked up wonderlngly, "Oh, I perceive," went on the wretch; "I have been Indlacreet I have betrayed a aecret. Kir Launce, I presume, has not been Introduced to his daughter-liflaw a pleasure to come," "Arthur, what doea thla mean?" said Kir Iiunce, wonderlngly. "I cannot speak before this man," an swered the son, In a low voice. "Oh, you need not fear speaking before me," cried Wylle, Ironically, "Your wife waa my client for. some years before shi Inveigled that battered old reprobate Caa tleton Into marrying her, I knew ber when ahe was a ballet girl." "Leave the room, alrl" Sir Launc said, dimly, "Not till you hare beard all!" cried Wylle, exultlngly. "That woman la a forger, and a tblef ; and, befor to-morrow morning I'll lodge ber In a goal aa a felon I" A blow from A'thur, who had loosed himself from bit father' bold, laid th calumniator nrostrate unoa the floor. With a yll of pauioa, Wyll sprang up again, and grappled with him; but Ar thur had learned to Use hta Gsts too well at Ktou to be In danger from auch an opponent, and a heavy blow In the face again felled him. Kir I-aunce threw hit arms round bis son ami withheld him from repeating th attack. Oluy, and halt stunned. Wyll rose to his feet, wiping hli livid face. "This Is a pitiful, paltry nveuge," he said, lowly and quietly, but with a look of Intense hatred In his eyes; "this la all the revenge you can wreak upon me. I do not begrudge it )ou. .Kverythlug you have In the world will, In a tew days, pass Into my hands, and I, whom your father did not think wotthy to alt at hla table, will be mrster of" IVnrhyddyn. Not only have you lost all your worldly pos sesaloua, but you bav disgraced your an cient nam by your alliance. Aud, aa a parting consolation to you, know that th money would have been forthcoming at Groom and Fry'a had not she, your wife, contrived th abduction of th party who had arranged to pay It In. Now, having afforded you so much pleasant In formation, I will leav you to ttU ac count with your father." So saying, th wretch, with a glanc of bitter trlumnh. glldrd out of th room. Th moment h had gone, Arthur, who had stood boldly confronting him unto th last, aauk Into a chair, utterly overcom by his emotions. Sir I.aunc bad gon back to his seat. Suddenly he gave a sharp cry, sprang up from hla chair, preaaed his hand upon his heart, stagxered for an Instant, and then fell forward acroa th tabl. Arthur heard th cry. looked up, and perceiving his father'a condition, ran to him and raised htm In hla arms. A glance at th face made him frantically pull th bell and about for belli. One of the waiters ran for a doctor. When the doctor ar rived the cuuntenanco was nf an aahen gray hue, the jaw had dropped, and the 'J"' nn ,,0,A lle r'"'a lh',nn,l'p ' nJ '" for tb pulse there waa mo. wrut none; he shook hi head, and let It fall again. Kir Launce IVnrhyddyn waa dead. At the sound of Arthur's knock Kleo nore sprang up from the couch upon which she bad been lying, and ran to the door. It waa a bitter night without; the whole air waa filled with the falling snow, which lay like a white pall over th earth. Sh would have thrown ber arms round bla neck ; but he shrank from her, and by the light of the tamp that bung In the passage, she saw that In his face which maile ber draw bark and let him pass. He went Into the parlor and she followed him. "For heaven's sake, tell m what U th matter?" ahe cried, timidly approaching him. "You have weo Stafford" hrr aus pldona Immediately taking that direc tion. "I have s'-en no Stafford f be answer ed, sternly. "I have wn a man who do you know a wretch called Wylle?" At that uame, a cry broke from ber lips, and she fell cowering Into a chair. She knw now that ah waa lost that nil was over betwren them. "I need not ask for an answer In words, Kleonore; your face baa told me all," he aald, mournfully; "but I would not condemn you unheard, and In bring here now, I am neglecting th" most sarred and solemn dotSaj. Oh, woman, woman!" he burst out, In a aterner voice! "For your sake, I forgot father, everything! I ktn-w nothing of you: I trusted you Im plicitly, and I married you, and thla Is my return I" "I loved you so passionately," she aald, "that I could not Iom you. You know that I Had once. Intending never to look uim your face again; but a strange fat brought u together once more. Ik) not believe that I yielded passively to my selfish love. I struggled with It many a weary hour, but It waa too strong for my weak will to conquer." "You are now my wife, aud a audi, can claim my protection. After what haa occurred, I ahull Irnve Kngland, and never return to It again. I will send you such means of uport aa I can earn, but wa can never meet again. Farewell ! and beaten forgive you all the evil you have wrought upon me and upon others." "Htay!" she cried, stretching out her arms Imploringly, hut not daring to move towards him, "I cannot," he answered, sternly, "I have done my duty to tha living; I must now perform what I owe to the dead.
