There, with tha aea, which had carried

Tha laat Una waa written In a shaken.

blotted out, aa if a tear had fallen upon
It. I remained there alone on the wild

waa utterly inconsolable the first few
weeka, fell Into all hla old maundering,
philandering waye again, apending hour

came serosa his path. My temper grew

We had been at daggers drawn for a
day or. two, ha and I, when one morning 1
was astonished by the appearance of
Julia In our consulting room, soon after
my father, having drewed himself elabo
rately, had quitted the house, JulU'i
face was ominous, the upper lip very
straight, and a frown upon her brow.
"Martin," she began in a low key, "I
am come to tell you something that fills
me with shame and anger. I do not know
how to contain myself. I could never
have believed that I could have been ao
blind and foolish. But it leems aa if I
were doomed to be deceived and disap
pointed on every hand I who would not
deceive or disappoint anybody In thed

to think of it. Just look at my hand
how they tremble."
"Your nervous system Is out of order,"
I remarked.
"It Is tha world that is out of order,"
she said petulantly; "I am well enough,
Oh, I do not know however I am to tell

"Muat you apeak of them?" I asked.

wondering that she should touch the.
wound so roughly. "Tbr months nest
Sunday." .
"And Dr. Dobree," she said In a bitter
accent then atopped, looking ma full in
the race. I bad never beard her call my
fathr Dr. Dobree In my life.
"What now?" I asked. "What baa my
unlucky father been doing now?"
"Why," she tt.Uluied, stamping hr
foot, while the blood mantled to her fore
head, "Dr. Dobn I In haste to take
second wife! He la Indeed, my poor Mar
tin. He wishes to be married immedi
ately to that viper. Kate Daltrey."
"Impossible!" I cried, stung to the
quick by these words. I remembered my
mother's mild. Instinctive dislike to Kate
Daltrey, and ber barmlesa hope that I
would not go over to ber aide. Uo over
to her aide! No. If she set her foot into
this house as my mother's successor, I
would never dwell under the same roof.
As soon as my father made her his wife
I would cut myself adrift from tbem botn.
But he knew that; he would never ven-
ture to outrage my mother's memory or
my feelings In such a flagrant manner.
"It Is posalide, for It is true," said Ju
Ua. "The have understood each other
for those four weeks. You msy call It
an engsgemcut, for It la one; and I never
auspected them, not for a moment!
Couldn't you take out a commission of

to think of such a thing."
"How did you find It out?" X Inquired
"Oh, I was so aahamed!" aba said
"You see I hsd not the faintest ahadow
of auaplclon. I hsd left them in the
drawing room to go upstairs, and

arm around her waist, and ber bead on
his shoulder ha with his grsy hairs, too!
She ssys she Is the same age aa me, but
aha la forty if aha la a day. Tha simple
ton! I did not know what to say, or
how to look. I could not get out of the
room again as If I had not seen, for I
cried, 'Oh!' at the first eight of them,
Then 1 stood ataring at them; but I think
they felt as uncomfortable as I did."
"Julia," I Bald, "I shall leave Uuera-
scy before this marriage can coma off. 1
would rather break atones on the high'
way than atay to aee that woman In my
mother's place. My mother dialiked ber
from the first."
"I know it," she replied, with tears In
her eyes, "and I thought It waa nothing
but prejudice. It waa my fault, bringing
her to Uuerusey. But I could not bear
the idoa of her coming as mistress here.
I said ao distinctly. 'Dr. Dobree,' I said,
'you must let me remind you that tha
house Is mine, though you have paid me
no rent for yeara. If you ever take Kate
Daltrey Into it, I will put my affaire into
a notary a hands. I will, upon my word,
and Julia Dobree never broke her word
yet.' That brought him to his senses
better than anything. He turned very
pale, and eat down beside Kate, hardly
knowing what to say. Tnen she began
She aald if I waa cruel, ahe would be
cruel, too. Whatever grieved you, Mar
tin, would grieve me, and ahe would let
her brother, Richard Foater, know where

Doea aba know where ahe is?" I aaked
eagerly, in a tumult of surprise and hope.
Why, in Sark, of courae," ahe replied,
What! Did you never know that

enter thla house aa mistress."
"Would you have given It np for
Olivia's sake?" I asked, marveling at her
generosity.
"I should have done it for your, sake,'
she answered frankly.
"But," I aald, reverting to our original
topic, "If my father baa aet hla mind
unon marrying Kate Daltrey, he wilt
brave anything." '
"He la a dotard," replied Julia. "He

She atayed an hour longer, turning over
thla unwelcome aubject till we had thor
oughly discussed every point of it. In
the evening, after dinner, I apoke to my
father briefly but decisively upon the
same topic. After a very short and very
sharp conversation, there remained &'

mind to try my fortune once more out of
Guernsey. I wrote by the next mall to
Jack Senior: telling htm my purpose.

my native Island, more beautiful In the
eyes of Its people than any other spot on
earth, I could no longer be happy or at
neace there. Julia could not conceal her
regret, but I left her In the charge of
Captain Carey and Johanna. She prom
laed to be my faithful correspondent, and
I engaged to write to her regularly. There
existed between us the half-betrothal to
which wa had pledgod ourselves at my
dying mother's urgent request She
would wait for the time when Olivia waa
no longer tha first in my heart; then she
would be willing to become my wilt. But

CHAPTER XVIII.
Early in the epring I received a letter
from Julia, desiring me to look out for
apartments, somewhere In my neighbor
hood, for herself and Johanna and Cap
tain Carey. They were coming to Lon
don to apend two or three mouths or tbe
aeason. I bad not had any task so agree
able since I left Uuerusey. Jsck was
hospitably anxious for them -to come to
our own house, but I kuew they woiim
not listen to such a proposal I found
some suitable rooms for them, however,
where I could be with them at any time
in fir minutes. On the appointed day
I met them at Waterloo atation, and in
atalled them In their new apartment.
It struck me thst Julia waa looking
better and happier than I bad seen her
look for long time. Her black dress
suited her, and gave her a atyle which
aha never had in colore. Her complex
ion looked dark, but not sallow; and ber
brown bair waa certainly more uecoiu
Ingly arranged. Her appearance was
thst of a well-bred, cultivated, almost
elegsnt woman, of whom no man need
be ashamed. Johanna waa aimply her
self, without the least perceptible change,
But Captain Carey again looked ten
yeara younger, and waa evidently taking
palna with bis appearance. 1 waa more
than satisfied, 1 wss proud or au my
friends.
"Wa want yon to come and have a
long talk with ua to-morrow," aaid Jo
hanna: "it is too late to-night. We shall
be busy shopping in tbe morning, but
csn you come In tbe evening?
"Oh. yes." I answered; 1 m at leis
ure most evenings, and 1 count upon
apending them with you. I can escort
you to aa many places of amusement aa
you wish to visit"
"To-morrow, tnen," she said, "we ahall
Uke tea at eight o clock.
I bade them good night with a lighter
heart than I had felt for a long while. I
held Julla'a hand the longest looking
Into ber face earnestly, till it flushed and
glowed a little under my scrutiny.
"True heart!" I aald to myself, "true
and conatant! and I have nothing, and
ahall have nothing, to offer ll but the
aabes of a dead love. Would t heaven,
I thought aa I paced along Brook street
"I had never been fated to see Ulivlar
I wss punctual to my time the next
day. I aat among them quiet and si
lent but revelling In this partial return
of olden times. When Julia poured out
my tea, and paased it to me with her
white hand, l teit inclined to kiss ner
Jeweled fingers. If Captain Carey had
not been present I think I should have
done ao.
We lingered over the pleasant meal.
At the close Captain Carey announced
that he waa about to leave ua alone to
gether for an hour or two. I went down
to the door with him, for he had made
me a mysterious signal to follow him. In
the ball he whispered a few taeomprehen-
alble sentences into my ear.
"Don't think anything of me, my boy
Don't sacrifice yourself for me. I'm an
old fellow compared to you, though I'm
not fifty yet; everybody In Guernsey
knowa that So put me out of the ques
tion, Martin. 'There's many a allp 'twlxt
the cup and the lip.' That I know quite
well, my dear fellow.
He waa gone before I could ask for an
explanation. I returned to the drawing
room, pondering over his words. Johan
na and Julia were sitting aide by sMe
on the sofa, In the darkest corner of the
room.
"Come here. Martin," said Johanna
"we wish to consult you on a subject of
great importance to us all.
I drew up a chair opposite to them and
sat down, much as if it was about to
be a medical consultation.
"It Is nearly eight months since your
poor dear mother died," remarked Jo
hanna.
Eight months! Yes; and no one knew
what those eight months had been to me
how desolate! how empty!
"You recollect" coutinued" Johanna
"how her heart was set on your marriage
with Julia, and the promise you both
made to her on her deathbed?"
"Yes," I answered, bending forward
and pressing Julia's hand, "I remember
every word."
There waa a minute's silence after this
and I waited in some wonder aa to what
this prelude was leading to.
"Martin," asked Johanua, in a solemn
tone, "are you forgetting Olivia?"
"No," I said, dropping Julia's hand
aa the image of Olivia flashed across me
reproachfully, not at all. What would
you have me say? She Is as dear to me
at this moment as she ever was."
"I thought you would say so," she re
plied; "I did not think yours was a love
that would quickly pass away, it it ever
doea. There are men who can love with
the constancy of a woman. Do you know
anything of her?" . :
"Nothing," I said despondently;
have no clue as to where she may be
now." .
"Nor has Tardlf,' ahe continued; "niy
-brother and I went across to Sark laat
week to ask him."
"That waa very good of you," I inter
rupted.
"It was partly for our own sakes,1
she ssld, blushing faintly. "Martin, Tar-.
dlf says that if you have once loved
Olivia. It la once for all. You would
never conquer It lo you turns- inai
this is true? Be csndld with us."
Yes." I snswered. "it l true. I could
never love sgsin as I love Olivia."
"Then, my dear Martin," said Jo&an-
na, vary softly, "do you wisa to Beep
Julia to her promise"
I started violently. Y batl did Julia
wish to be released tnta that seml-en-gsgement
and be free? Was It possible
that any ouo else eovetea my puce in
her affections, and In tha new bouse
which we had fitted up for ourselves? I
felt like the dog in tbe nanger. It seem
ed an unheard-of encroAcument for any
person to come between my cousin Julia
nd me.
"Do you ask me to t yon free from
your promise, Julia?" I aaked, somewhat
sternly. ,

"I recently filed ft claim for the widow
of ft Mexican war veteran." said H. O.

The incorrect announcement from
