Tbe tioetor'J fjilemma By Hcsba CHAPTER XV.-(Contlnod.) That brought to my nitud woat I bud almost forgottfuth woman whom my Imprudi'Ut curiosity bad brought luto puriult of bur. I felt rsadjr to curss mj fully aloud, a I did In tny htart, fr bavlnc Ron to Mrun, Sotitt and Drown. "Olivia," I t-ld, "thort la woman In Gue-rnsi-y who baa soma duo to you-" Hut I could any no more, for I thought alio would have falUn to tha ground In her terror. I drw her band through my arm and hiutmud to wessuro her. "No bnrtu tan coma to you," I contin ued, "whilst Tardlf nd I are- hr to pro tect you. Do not frlghUw youraelf; wa will defend you from avery dangi'r," "Martin," alio whliardand tha pleasant faiulllnrlty of my nam apoken by bor gar me a sharp pang, almost of glndui' "no rno can ht ma or de fend ma. Tho Inw would compel ma to go back to him. A woman'a hvart may it broken without the Saw being broken. I could prova nothing that would give ma a right to be frix nothing. Ho I took It into my own lunula. I tail you I would -rather hav twin drown! thla afternoon. Why did you aavs me?" I did not answer, except by prcialug hr hand against my aid. I hurried bvr on allently towards tha cottage. Hha waa shivering iu her cold, wet dreaa, and trainbllng with fear. It waa plain to ma that even her flue health ahould not be trilled with, and I loved her too tenderly, her poor, shivering, trembling frame, to let her Buffer If I could help It. When wa reached tho foldyard gate, 1 atopped her fur moment to apeak only faw words. "(Jo In." I aald, "and change every one of your wet clothea. I will at you again, once again, when we can talk with one another calmly. Ood bleaa and take care of you, my darling!" Hhe amiled faintly, and laid her hand In mine. "You forgive mo?" alio an Id. "Forgive you!" I repeated, kissing tha amall brown hand llugerlngly; "1 bae nothing to forgive," Hue went on at-roaa the little fold. Then I mad my way, blind and deaf, to the edge of the cliff, awing nothing, hear ing nothing. I fhiug myaelf down on the turf, with my face to the ground, to bide my eyea from the staring light of the aummer aun. Married? That waa what aha bad aald. It shot out all hope for tha fetor. She must bare been a mere viiild four jroar ago; aha looked very young and girlish till. And her bualmnd treated her 111 tny Olivia, for whom ( bad given up all I bad to give. Hhe aald the law would compel her to return to blui, and I could do nothing. I could not Interfere even to aave ber from a life which waa worae to ber than death. My heart waa caught In a vice, and there waa no eacape from the torture of Ita relentleaa grip. Whlchover way I looked there waa aorrow and despair. I wlahed, with a falnt-heartcdncits I bad never folt before, that Olivia and I had Indeed perlxhed togother down in tho cavea where tho ti Jo waa now sweeping below me. "Martin!", aald a clear, low, tender tone In my ear, which could never be deaf to that voice. I looked up at Olivia without moving. My bead waa at her feet, and I luld my bond upon the hem of bar dreaa. "Martin," ahe aald again, "aco, I have brought you Tardlf'a coat in plnce of your own. You muaf not lie here In thla way. Captain Garey'a yacht la waiting for you below." I ataggered giddily when I atood on my feet, and only Ollvia'a look of pain atead led me. She bait been weeping bitterly. I could not trust myaelf to look in ber face again. Tardlf was standing behind ber, regarding us both with great con cern. "Doctor," be said, "when I enrao In from my lobater-pota, the captain aent a meaaage by me to aay the aun would be Bono down before you reach Uuernaey. lie baa come round to the Havre Uoaae lln. I'll walk down tho cliff with you." "Take care of inam'ii'lle," I aald, when we hud reached the top of the ladder, and the little boat from the yacht win danc ing at tho foot of It. "There la aome danger ahead, and you can protect her better than I." "Yes, yea," be repllod; "you may trust her wllb nie. But Uod knows I should have been glad if It bad gone well with you." CIIArTKtt XVI. My mother passed a restless and agi tated night, and I, who sat up with her, waa compelled to listen to all ber la mentations. Hut towards the morning she fell Into a heavy sleep, likely to last for some hours. I could leave her. hi perfect aecurity; and at an early hour I weut down to Julia's house, strung up to bear the worst, and Intending to hare It all out with her, and put her on her guard before she paid ber dally visit to our houso. She must have some hours for her excitement and rejoicing to bub ble over, before she enmo to talk about It to my mother. "I wish to see Miss Dobree," I said to the girl Who quickly answered my noisy peal of the house bell. 'Tlease,. sir," was her reply, "she and Miss Daltrey are gone to Surk with Cap tain Cnrey." "Qone to Snrkl" I repeated In utter amazement. - "Yes, Dr. Martin. They started quite early because of the tide, and Captain Carey's man brought tho carriage to take them to St. Sampson's. I don't look for them back before evening." "When did they make up their minds to go to Sark?" I Inquired anxiously. "Only late last night, sir," she answer ed. Why were Julia and ICato Daltrey gone to Bark? What could they have to do with Olivia? It made me almost wild with anger to think of them finding Olivia, and talking to her perhaps of me and my love questioning her, arguing with her, ormontlng horl The bare thought of those two badgering my Olivia wqs enough to drive me frantic. In 2e cool twilight, Julia and Kate Stretton Daltrey were announced. I was about to withdraw from my mother's room, lu conformity with the etiquette established amongst us, when Julia recalled me In a gentler voice than she bad usd to wards me since the day of my fatal con fession. "Stay, Martin," ahe aald; "what we have to tell concerns you more than any one." I aat down again by my mather'a aofa, and ahe took my hand between both ber own, fondling It In the duak. "It Is about Olivia," I aald In as cool a tone as I could command. ' "Yea," answered Julia; "we bave seen ber, and we bave found out why ahe baa refuaed you. She Is married al ready." "Sho told me ao yeaterday," I replied. "Told you so yesterday I" repeated Ju lia In an accent of chagrin. "If we bad only known thst we might have aaved ourselves the passage across to rJsrk." "My dear Julia," exclaimed my mother, feverishly, "do tell us all about It, and begin at tho beginning." There waa nothing Julia liked ao much, or could do so well, as to give a circum stantial accouat of anything aba had done. She could relate minute details with ao much accuracy that wten one waa lasy or unoccupied It was plesssnt to listen. My mother enjoled, with all the delight of a woman, the amall touches by which Julia embellished her sketches. I resigned myself to hearing a long his tory, when I wss burning to ask one or two question and bave done with the topic. "To begin at the beginning, then," said Julia, "dear Captain Carey came Into town very 'late laat night to talk to us about Martin, aud how the girl In Sark bad refuaed him. I waa very much aa tonlshed, very much Indeed! Captain Carey said that he and dear Johanna had come to the conclusion that the girl felt some delicacy, perhaps, because of Martin's engagement to me. We talked It over as friends, and thought of you, doar aunt, and your grief and disappoint ment, till all at once I made up my mind In a moment. 'I will go over to Sark and aee the girl myself,' I said. 'Will you?' said Captain Carey. 'Oh, no, Julia, It will be too much for you. 'It would have been a few weeka ago,' I said; 'but now I could do anything to give aunt Dobree a moment's happiness.' " "Heaven bless you, Julia," I interrupt ed, going across to ber and kissing her cheek Impetuously. "There, don't stop mo, Martin," she said earnestly. "So It was arranged off hond that Captain Corey should send for us to St. Sampson's this morning, and take us over to Snr. We had a splendid passage. Kate was In raptures with the landing place, and the lovely lane leading up into the Island. We turn ed down the nearest way to Tardif's. Well, you know that brown pool in the lane leading to the Havre Uosselin? Just there, where there are some low, weather-beaten trees meeting overhead anl making a long green aisle, we saw all in a moment a Blim, erect, very young-looking girl coming towards us. I knetf in an instant that It was Miss Ollivier." She paused for a minute. How plainly I could see the picture! The arching trees, and the sunbeams playing fondly with her shining golden hair! I held my breath to listen. "What completely startled me," said Julia, "was that Kate suddenly darted forward and ran to meet her, crying, 'Olivia!'" "How does she know ber?" I exclaim ed. " . "Hush, Martin! Don't Interrupt me. The girl went so deadly pale, I thought she was going to faint, but she did not. She stood for a minute looking at us, and then she burst into the most dread ful fit of crying! I have always thought her name was Olliviur, and so did Kate. 'For tity's sake,' said the girl, 'If you have any pity, leave me here in peace do not betray mo' "But what does It all mean?" asked my mother, whilst I paced to and fro in the dim room, scarcely able to control my Impatience, yet afraid to question Julia too eagerly. "I can tell you," said Kate Daltrey In her cold, deliberate tones; "she Is the wife of my half-brother, Richard Foster, who married her more than four years ago In Melbourne; and sho ran away from bim last October, and has not been heard of since." "Then yon know her whole history," I said, approaching her and pausing be fore her. "Are you at liberty to tell It to us?" V "Certainly," sho answered; "it is no secret Her father was a wealthy cci- TERHArS YOU WILL FEEL onlst, and he died wben she was fifteen, leaving ber In the charge of ber atop mother, lilchard Foster's aunt Tbe match waa one of the stepmother's Disk ing, for Olivia waa little better than a child. Illchard waa glad enough to get her Income. One-third of it was settled upon ber absolutely. Itlcbard waa look log forward eagerly to ber being one-and twenty, for be bad made ducks and drakea of bis own property, and tried to do tbe same wltb mine. lie would bave done so wltb bis wife's; bnt a few week before Olivia's twenty-first birthday sb dlssppesred mysteriously. There ber fortune lies, and Richard baa no more power than I bave to touch It. He can not even claim the money lying In tha Bank of Australia, which baa been re mitted by ber trustees; nor can Olivia claim It wlthoot making benelf known to him. It la accumulating there, while both of them are on tbt verge of pov erty." "But be must bsve been very cruel to ber before she would run awsyl" said my mother In a pitiful voice. "Cruel!" repeated Kate Daltrey. "Well, there are many kinds of cruelty. I do not suppose itlchsrd would ever trans gress the limits of tbe law. But Olivia waa one of those girls who csn suffer great torture mental torture I mean. Even I could not live In the aame houM with Richard, and ahe waa a dreamy, aenaltive, romantic child, with aa much knowledge of tbe world aa a baby. I waa astonished to bear ahe had bad dar ing enough to leave him." "But there muat be some protection for ber from tbe law," I said, thinking of the bold, coarse woman, no doubt bla aeso clste, who waa In pursuit of Olivia. "She might sue for a judicial aeparation, at tbe least, if not a divorce." "I am quite aure nothing could be brought against blm In a court of law," she anawered. "He la very wary and cunning, and knows very well what he may do and what be may not do. A few months before Olivla'a flight, be In troduced a woman as ber companion. He calls her his cousin. Since I saw her thla morning I have been thinking of ber position In every light, and I really do not aee anything ahe could bave done, except running away as ahe did, or mak- MELANCHOLY BY-AND-BY." lng up her mind to be deaf and blind and dumb." "But could he not be Induced to leave her in peace If ahe gave up a portion of her property?" I asked. "Why should he?" she retorted. "If she waa in hia hands the whole of the property would be his. He will never release her never. No, her only chance Is to hide herself from him. The law cannot deal with wrongs like bers, be cause they are aa light aa air apparently, though they are as all-pervading as air is, and aa poisonous as air can be. They are like choke-damp, only not quite fa tal. He is as crafty and cunning as a serpent. He could prove himself the kindest, most considerate of husbands, and Olivia next thing to an idiot Oh, It Is ridiculous to think of pitting a girl like her against him!" "But what can be done for ber?" I ask ed vehemently and passionately. "My poor Olivia! .what can I do to protect her?" . "Nothing!" replied Kate Daltrey, cold ly. "Her only chance Is concealment, and what a poor chance that is! I went over to Sark, never thinking that your Miss Ollivier whom I had heard so much of was Olivia Foster. It Is an out-of-the-world place; but so much the more read ily they will find her, If they once get a clue. A hare Is soon caught when It can not double; and how could Olivia escape If they only traced her to Sark?" My dread of the woman Into whose hands my Imbecile curiosity had put the clue was growing greater every minute. It seemed as If Olivia could not be safe now, day or night; yet what protection could I or Tardif give to her? "You will not betray her?" I said to Kate Daltrey, though feeling all the time that I could not trust her In the smallest degree. "I have promised dear Julia that" she answered. It became my duty to keep a strict watch over the woman who had come to Guernsey to find Olivia. It possible I must decoy her away from the lowly nest where my helpless bird was shel tered. She had not seut for me again, but I called upon her the next morning professionally, and stayed some time talking with her. But nothing resulted from the visit beyond the assurance that she had not yet made any progress to wards the discovery of my secret. Neither did I feel quite safe about Kate Daltrey. She gave me the impres sion of being as crafty and cunning as she described her half-brother. Did sho know this woman by sight? That was a question I could not answer. There was another question hanging upon it If she saw her, would she not in some way contrive to give her a aufflcicnt hint, with out positively breaking ber promise to Julia? Kate Daltrey's name did not appear in the newspapers among the list of visitors, aa she was staying, in a pri vate bouse; but she and this woman might meet any day in the streets or on the pier. I had to cross over to Sark the next week, alone and IndenvrnJetit of Captafl Carey. Tbe time passed heavily, and on tho following Monday I went on board tbe steamer. I bad sot been on deck two minutes when I aaw my patient step on after me. Tbe last clue was In ber fin gers cow, that was evident She did not see m at first; but ber air was exultant and satisfied. There wss no face on board so elated and flushed. I kept out of her way as long aa I could without consigning myself to the black hole of tbe cabin; but at laat she caught sight of me, and came down to tbe fore castle to claim me si an acquaintance. "Ha, bal Dr. DoUree!" she exclaimed; "so you are going to visit 8srk, too?" "Yes," I answered more curtly than courteously, (To be continued.) A Horrid Sloan Thing. They tat In a awing, half-hidden by the fragrant shrubbery of an east end lawn. Sho was trying to make blm Jealous, which he bad penetration enough to descry and experience enough with ber sex to remain provok Ingly calm. All the rapturous adjectives of ber high-school vocabulary were pressed into praise of a rival, says tbe Mem phis Scimitar. "He Is Just the most perfectly levely man I ever mef she fervently de claimed, clasping ber bands above ber heart and lifting her lustrous orbs moonward. "He must be a bird," be suggested nonchalantly. "Such adorable eyes; such a low, mu sical voice, as full of soul as the mur mur of a meadow brook. And, oh! be sings divinely." "Sorry I never met your friend," be said in s tone lrritatingly practical, ac companied with a yawn artistically audible. "Oh, I do so want you to meet blm. I know you will like him. He Is fond of poetry and music, and be drives tbe loveliest horses " "Eht Whom does he drive for?" " And a few minutes later the swing swung emptily. Much Abbreviated. A customer from one of the suburbs dropped into a paint shop, took a slip of paper from his pocket looked at It knitted his brows, shook his bead, put on his glasses, Inspected the paper again, and gave It up as a bad Job. "I made a hasty memorandum," he said to the proprietor of the. shop, "of something I waa to call here and buy, but I trusted too much to my memory. I seem to bave Jotted down nothing but the initials, and I've forgotten what they mean." ... . "Let me see the memorandum," said tbe proprietor. "It may be that I can help you." "It's nothing but three letters," re plied the customer, handing it over. "Only 'a P. A?" "So I see. '0. P. A.' Why. that's sepia, a kind of brown paint Wasn't that itr "What a fool I am! Of course it was." He got his sepia, threw a big red ap ple on the counter In lieu of "hush money," and went away with a sheep ish look on his face. The Anthem Again. The "Messiah" was sung recently In Philadelphia, and one of tbe anthems rendered by the chorus bad as Its theme, "We have turned every one to his own way." As anthems go, this sounded somewhat as follows: "We have turned, turned turned we have turned, yes, we have we have turned every one, every one to his own way, own way every one to his own way." Tbe anthem Involved several pages of music, and every time the chorus sang "we have turned, turned, turned," they proceeded to turn over to the next page, and then burst out again with "we have turned, turned!" A certain plain citizen, rather elderly, who sat well In the rear, not appreciating the delicate sentiment, was heard to mut ter, disgustedly, "Well, when you get through turnln', turnln' them gol domed pages, suppose you shet up about It!" Harper's Magazine. Why Locomotives Are Numbered. A prominent railroad man tells mc that the old custom of naming engines Instead of numbering them was done away with because there was such a pressure brought to bear In favor of this, that and the other locality. The various Influences used became so an noying to the officials that they decided to adopt the plan of numbering the loco motives, which was done. A similar nuisance exists at Washington la the Navy Department. Probably during tbe late war Secretary Long was pesterod more with people who wanted vessels named In honor of somebody or some thing than he was with all the other questions which came before him put together. Boston Record. - Writer and Reader. A good and perhaps an old story comes from the Persian. A man went to a professional scribe, and asked blm to write a letter. "I cannot" said the scribe. "I have a pain in my foot." "A pain In your foot? What has that to do with It? I don't want to send you anywhere." "No, sir," said the man, "but when ever I write a letter for any one, I am always sent for to read It, because no one else can make It out." Telephone Speed.
