Whatever might happen, Claire had found her way to her husband's heart. and Lucian was at rest, having declared his love.

Suddenly Claire shuddered and nestled closer to her com panion, while his protecting arm encir cled her vet more titm-Uy "What is it, darling? Are you cold?" be asked goirtly. "Shall we go in?'

Do you compel me to swear it before you can be lieve?" "No, I am satisfied, but do not blame me if I am over jealous of you; I Jove you so, and I feel my inferiority to that splendid, wicked creature." He drew her into his embrace, and, bending his head, pressed a burning kiss upon her brow. "Foolish little heart!" he murmured, Indulgently. "You are as far superior to her as the sun is superior to the moon, as an angel to a sinful mortal!" "No, do!" she said, with surprising firmness, "let there be no comparison be tween ns. I believe that unhappy woman to be more sinned against than sinning. She has been the victim of Fate, as we have all been; so let us not blame her, since we know not how we should have acted had we been similarly placed." "I shall never see her," he replied toutly. "Not even if she sent for youand be- mought you to come to herr "Not even then." As though envious fste sought to test his firmness, Dr. Gresham at that mo ment appeared upon the piazza with a tetter in his hand. Though the gloaming had fallen thickly upon the earth, they both noted the ghastly presence of the missive, and a minatory thrill of alarm shot through their hearts. "A letter for you, Lucian," observed the doctor, affecting an unconcern which he was far from feeling; "the messen ger who brought it said that it was im perative, so perhaps you bad better step Inside to the light and read It wl'e X have a chat with my patient." Cleverly planned, doctor, but not quite clan Courtlandt, and was awaiting Its results with such patience ae she could command; but as the dreary minutes grew to hours she rose impatiently and, taking a silver-mounted revolver from satchel, laid it beside a roll of papers up on the table that supported the lighted lamp. "I can have everything in readiness, at least," she murmured. "Lucian shall have no reason to doubt my resolution. If his heart preserves no flutter of the past, if all memory of our love la ef faced, still the lines I have sent him con tain sufficient gnef and despair, sum cient threats of scaudal to force him to come to me; fear will impose the power which love has lost. If I cannot recon quer your heart, Lucian Courtlandt, you shall at least give me back my child, Then we shall see whether you will not follow htm. Hark! Some one is mount ing the steps! It Is he!" She sprang to the window and threw open the blinds; but recoiling as FMilden ly, she gave vent to one stilled word. "You!" "Yea, I," replied Gresham, coolly, en tering, and carefully closing the blinds behind him. "We decided that I should do as well. "He refuses to see me? Why?" she gasped, feebly. "Why? You know perfectly well "It is because he loves that other woman, now, is it not?" she cried, bit terly. "Ia that keeping his oath with me? Was that what you promised me, Gresh am? You swore to me that she had scarcely three months to live." With maddening deliberation, Gresh am drew up a chair and seated himself opposite his agonized subject "Madam," he began, calmly, "we doc tors have neither friends nor enemies we deal impartially with the whole world. It la our business t save our patients. Let us look at it seriously. In a moment of ambition you cherished the hope of becoming Mrs. Lucian Courtlandt; to day, you understand, this hope is for ever crushed. Now, your wisest course is to leave the interests of your child in the hands of her to whom you have confided them, and let them rest in peace." "And what remains to me in this bar gain?" "First, the satisfaction of having done your duty." "And then?" "Then the conditions that you may be pleased to Impose, which I can promise will be accepted in advance by Mr. Courtlandt." "The only condition that I shall see fit o make," she hissed through her set teeth, "is the unconditional surrender of my child!" "It seems to me that your maternal love smacks of selfishness." "You have no right to judge me, hav ing played the traitor! Ob, you may spare me the infliction of any moral stric tures," she sneered; "if you have been sent to me as an ambassador, be content to fulfill your mission. Very well, then. V hat do you de mand?" "Has Lucian Courtlandt determined never to fee me again?" I have already answered that ques tion.

Two ladles who were walking along an English country road were attract ed toward a small, poor-looking cot tage by the exquisite singing of a thrush. The cottage contained but one room. It was occupied by an aged , couple, so poor that their most valua ble possession wa the thrush which hung outside the door In a wicker cage. and sent forth a perfect stream of melody. In "Mary Boyle, Her Hook." the story of this bird is touchlngly told: We listened for some moment, and then my mother entered the cottage, made acquaintance with the old cou ple, and asked If they would be will ing to sell the thrush to her. At first rather a blank look came over the old mail's countenance, but he was poor and ailing, and was persuaded by the arguments of the "missus," who was doubtless thinking that the price of their favorite would enable her to get some little dainty for her good man. So the bargain began; a sum' was named, the double of which was paid r m m- sawh . Stock Ducks. In selecting stock ducka from which to breed your market ducklings.

It was not in her nature to be suspicious, but it looked as If an other bird had been palmed oft upon her In place of the magnificent song ster.
