The caretaker at 19 Westphalia ter-

brought up to help., her to answer the
door and looked at me witn msravor.
"Do you think the landlord knows?'
No answer.
I took out half a crown.
"Look here!" I said, "this coin shall

you've been here, who-the landlord is,
and anything you may have heard from
the tradespeople about the family."

These are dark days for orthodox
theology. On every hand there are
lefcctions from the ranks of the
straight-laced believers, and liber
alism is taking the place of dog-
mtin .theoloev among laymen in
colleges and in the pulpits. Pro-
fessor Howiuon, of the University
- of California, recently has denied
his belief in the immaculate con
ceptlon and expressly asserted that
"no intelligent -man believes doc

1 had only known Clara three months.
I knew not a single one of her mends.
I knew she had some few relations her
mother's family and I did not even
know their name. The Vanes knew no
one in Kensington, and they only knew
me through our cat having fortunately
been killed by their dog.
But I was poor then, and poverty is
proud. The Vanes' house, dress and
mode of life betokened wealth. I could
not tell her I loved her, and now
The charwoman opened the door again
and put out her curl papered head to

"There was a funeral afore the sale;
perhaps they'd tell you at the under
takers.
A funeral! I hailed a passing hansom
and drove straight to way s Inn.
Yes. Mr. Vane unfortunately died
at one of our houses 10 Westphalia ter-
race. Left no estate; had systematically
overshot his income. Sorry I can't give
you any further information.
Not a dew. The tradesmen knewnota-
ing, the vicar knew nothing, the police
of coarse knew nothing and did nothing
but pocket my money and take down
things in notebooks with blunt pencils.
Advertisement failed absolutely.
And so Clara Vane was lost to me
passed out cf my life completely leav
ing me with a really respectable fortune,
which it was entirely out of the ques
tion for me to enjoy.
I did see her again. I did, but not for
four years four long years.
I won't go so far as to say that an hour
never passed in which I did not think of
her, but I'll swear ,tliat two never did.
And I loved her more than ever.
Well, after four years of this life I
had my own work to do and my other
life to live, but that has nothing to do
with this story after four years busi
ness took me to Tunbridge.
I went by an express train, I bought
the papers and got a comfortable comer
in a first class carriage, where I let the
papers lie on my knee and dreamed my
nana! dreams uara, Uara, uara.
Aa we swept into Ealstead station I
looked out, with a torpid curiosity as to
the gardens, and saw daral
Whiiz ez wbirrl The train had
shot past the station, the carriage win
dows rattled, the train vibrated and
pulsated with the increasing speed, and
very pulse sad every vibration was car
rying me away from my heart's heart,
In a flash I saw that if I went on to
Sevenoaks and got a train back she, who
was obviously waiting for the next up
train, would have left the station long
before I reached it. Probably she was
only spending the day at Ualstead, and

I jumped out of the carriage. Its maik
way for me deferentially. Oar hands
touched. Great is the currency, and it
will prevail. The next minute I was
speeding back along the down line to
ward Ealstead station. My breatb came
fast and with difficulty. My knees anhed
furiously, but I ran on. I could hear
distinctly the rumble of the train in the
tunnel behind me.

I believe, the second wind, and the main

But of course I landed on the down
platform. I flow up the steps and over
the bridge I reached the up platform
breathless, hatless, but radiant.
Clara was just getting into a first clast
carriage. -
I stumbled in after her and sank pant
ing in the corner. She, seated at the far
window, did not turn her eyes on me till
the slow throb of the train betokened de
parture.
Then Bhe looltea r. her reuow traveler

Then she recognized me. Her face flush

"Oh, your with a delightful lighten-
ing of eyes and brow and a dimpling at
the corner of the mouth.
'I had," I exclaimed pantingly, "to
run to catch the train!"
"I suppose so," she said, leaning back
in her comer and smiling. . "It wasn't
very wise to give yourself so little time
to do it in. Where have yon sprung
from? Have you friends down herer
"I have sprung," I said, beginning to
recover myself, "from the main line
down, and am subject to a penalty not
exceeding 5 for availing myself of the
electrio communication and stopping
that tram."
"Why did you stop it, if one may ask.7"
"You may ask, though the guard did
not. I stopped the train because I have
been looking for you for four years, and
I saw you on that platform. I wonld
have stopped a tiger or the march of
civilization on the same grounds.''
I mopped my forehead furtively before
proceeding.
I nave been looking for you for lorn
years,' 1 said, "to asa you to marry me.
Dear, I never have even thought of mar
rying any one else, and I have been look
ing for you all this time." ':
My flippancy, born of nervousness,
was deserting me. I leaned forward
earnestly,
"Oh, how good it is to see your dear
face againl" I said. "This pays for all
It is"-
"Stop!" she interrupted, still looking
down. "I suppose you don't know I was
married three years ago to General Peg.
lar!"
"Married!" I sank back sick at heart,
The train stopped and a copy of The Fi
nancial News got in, with a gentleman
completely buried in it.
That was an awful journey. I sat up
very straight and asked questions about
roses and the people who lived at Hal
stead and the prospects of the hops and
many other things about which I did
not want to bear, and Mrs. Peglar an
swered me.
And The Financial News and its occu
pant sat opposite to me,
At Charing Cross, as I handed her out,
she said in a voice that was not very
steady:
"Won't you come and see me some
times? I live at the Bed House, Hal
stead." "No," I said, "that would be too
much. I hope I shall never see you
again, woodby, my sharp disappoint
ment lending a vinegary flavor to my
voice. "Your mother, I trust, is well?'
She did not answer, and I blundered
on;
, "I regret to see that you are in slight
mourning. Not, I trust"
"No, no, nor she cried vehemently,
"Mamma, at least, ia left to me. She
doesn't hate me because I tried to do the
best for her when she was left penniless.
She knows I thought I ought to marry
General Peglar. She knows how I cried
and cried and wondered why you where
you"
Clara stopped short.
"Goodby," she said and walked down
the platform. "I'm not in mourning for
my darling mamma, thank God! It's
for General Peglar, of course."
We went down into Charing Cross
garden, where the children and the spar
rows play and sat there in the sunshine,
hand in hand. Philadelphia Uall.
