A Dead Past
By MRS. LOVCTT CAM t RON
CIIAPTKIl XV III.
Roeamond KirU bad apeot one of
thuee nights of wakeful stony which
uracil leave their etamp upon the
health and eonatltutlon mora certainly

tut frleuds reckon aa legitimate 111

Bbe knew very wall what was bafura
her, wbat struggles with bar own heart,
what battlaa to riln bar peace of mlod,
what frequent and pitiful ralapaoa luto
bjert daapalr and mlary; tnle la al
waya tba wuman'a portion wban man
toa agelust bar; and lUsatnond by blttar
experience understood that It waa bar
fata.
Worn out and ethaueted, mentally and
bodily, by tha lung boura of agony alia
had undergone, aha lay upon tha el Iff
hot aufa with -ll eyelid, and fara aa
leaden hued aa any rrpa. Her boxee
lay packed and atrappe.1 "P In tha ad

departure; but M. Karla did not yat
know where elie wn going,
"I nmat have peace," aha aald to her
eelf half aloud, "rrat and peace."
I'iMir woman, aha had to learn that
there la no aurh tranquil epot under thr
farf df tha aun where a heart that car
rlw about ita own mortal wounda wltbln
Itnclf ran know either reef or peace.
Hha waa tired of trying to arttla wber
aha waa to go. Than aoma ona came
with a quirk aiap arrns tha room and
knelt down bifida her aufa.
.Mr. lUrlv! Itoaaniond! You are
running away from ma! la thla treating
ma fairly or Ilk a friend? liut what
la tha matter aurely you mint ba 111."
"I am 111," aha repeated. In a dull
vol-, striving very hard not to break
down under tha klndneaa of bla voice
and ryea.
He knew Instinctively that thia trouhla
waa of the inlud and not of tha body.

lie got up from her aide and walked
Impatiently about the room.
"Ob, thla will never do!" he cried In
much dlatreaa. "I cannot let you go
way In thla atata of uncertainty. You
are evidently III not fit to be alone; you
want a man to take rare of you."
"Men, men!" aba repeated, a little
wildly. "Wbat la the good of a man?
Are they not all alike falaa and cruel
and IreacheroueT"
"Iear Itoaamond," ha aald, holding
her hand with reverent teuderneaa be
tween bla own. "la thla home-comlug
alone eo eery terrible to you? Pour out
jour heart to ma, my dear: do not con
sider me; I ahall not he hurt by any
thing you can lay. Do you mlaa your
poor huaband ao very dreadfully? Do
not think of ma."
How blind how almoat atupld ha
waa! Bbe, who waa breaking her heart
for the lore of her Ufa, and he talked to
her about ber huaband! She could al
inoat hare laughed.
. "Oh, don't you underatand don't you
aea?" aha cried, deapalrlngly. "You think
tii a good and faithful; you look upou
ma as a model wife; you Imagine that I
am like the typical widow In St. Taul't
eplatle. Should I grieve like thla Bor
row ao wildly ao desperately If It were
merely death that had atrlckan me down?
Ah. death would bare been nothing-
nothing at all! Cannot you gueaa that It
la not becuuae I am a widow, but be
cauae I have alwaya loved one man
Iwaya all my life; and I bare come
back free free to love him, to claim hla
love to be happy at laat and I have
found blih married!"
And In the wlldnes of her Borrow ahe
flung beraelf back again face downward
upon the cushions, convulaed by an agony
of aoba and tears.
Colonel Trefuala ant atlll quite, quite
till. He felt numbed and cold. Hit
fingers, that were looaely locked together
between hla knee, did not tighten their
graap upon each other, neither did they
tremble. Hla kindly blue cyea did uot
contract with pain nor open with dlamay,
only they fixed thcmaclvea a little blind
ly upon the pattern of the carpet. For
a minute or two ho did not apeak.
"Youee that I must go," she cried
deapalrlngly. "Oh, help me to get away
to go where I cannot aea him! Tell me
where' to go. Help me, I entreat you!"
Thla appeal touched him and went
straight to the earnest, practical nature
of the ninn.
"Yes, my dear. I will help you," he
anawered almply. "You ahall go to
Dunaterton."
"To Dunaterton! In Yorkshire, do you
mean?" ahe cried. . i ....
"Yes. I have a cottage there, merely
a six-roomed pottage with a tiny garden,
upon the outskirts of a village green. I
had an old aunt who lived there, and
who has died lately and left It to me,
furniture and all, Just as It standa. I
ahould never go there, It lav utterly useless
to me. It will hold you, and your child,
and your servant. You shall go there, I
will lend It to you."
"But but " she cried, confined
and trembling. "I know It very wall.
It Is but three miles from my old home
from Kepplngton." .
Gol. Trefuala continued to plead for
his cottage, and Rosamond pondered.
Finally she accepted his offer, on one
condition only; she must pay him rant
for his house. To this ha was constrain
ed to agree. There came back a little
animation to bar, when this was at laat
ettled. It seemed ao much better for
her than to to to aome strange place
where ahe had never beea before. Home
few poor people wonld, ebe thought, re
member ber. ,
"Yoa will come down and aee me
eometlmee?" aba aaked him, aa they war
travallng northward.
"No, I think not," he anawered, with
out meeting her eyes, "I will write to
yoo; but I will not eome yet After a
month or two, perhaps, but not now,
uoUe yon are In trouble."
For where now wera John Trefuala
hopes and dream a of happy and sucreea
ful love? In the eelAahnaaa of ber own
trouble Roaamond forgot the atrong and
tender love, to whom her confeaalon had
brought the bopeleaaneaa almoat of da
apalr. CHAITKIt XIX.
Now, with reaped to tbeae two women,
each doomed to Buffer, becauaa Brian
Deamond had committed a thoughtleaa
and aeltlah error, while the one wept and
wailed, and bemoaued beraelf with all
th abandon of a atrong aud paaalunate
nature, the other had done nothing of
the kind.
Kitten had come In from ber bal, to
find her buahand sitting up for ber. With
one quick glance she bad taken In bla
haggard, grief etrlcken face; the lluea
about bla mouth, tha dark rlrclea round
hla miserable looking area. A alckenlng
gaap of pain had cut through her heart
at the eight, but ahe had aaid nothing.
Kite went to bed, and all night loug ahe,
too, tike Roaatnond Karl, had lain
awake. All night long ahe had faced ber
agony In tear lews alienee, and aha had
aald to hsraclf over and over again: "He
lovea her, he haa alwaya loved her; 1
am nothing to him. What can I do for
him?" For It waa for him, and not for
beraelf, that ahe thought. Wbat could
l do to lighten hla burden and to di
minish bla woe? That waa her only
thought. Her utter unselfishm-ae, aud
lh very atrengtb and force of her love
made her long to aacrlDce herself; ao that
in aome faahiun or other ahe might bring
back happiness to the man ahe loved.
Bhe roae In the morning aa usual, and
at th ordinary hour Drlan and hla wife
sat down to breakfast together. The
servant brought In the ellver-eevered
diahe and the ateamlng coffee. Brian's
paper lay aa uaual by hla plate. Kitten
mechanically opened the little pile of let
tera by ber aide, that were chiefly Invi
tations, written upon dainty tinted and
rreated paper; everything to al) outward
appearance waa exactly the same, and
atlll thla strange, aelf-contalned woman
uttered never a word. Juat aa her bua
hand waa rising from the table aha look
ed up from her plate nad uttered hla
name:
"Brian V
"Yea, Kitten."
"Mra. Karle la In London
Ha flushed darkly red, then turned
pale.
"What do you mean? How did you
hear her name? Why ahould ahe not be
In 1-omlonT Remember, I will not be
dictated to about her," he stammered half
guiltily and half angrily.
"Have I dlctate.1 to you?" ahe asked
gently.
"Who told you about her?" he aaked
In a low voice, after a short alienee.
Bhe looked up at him with one of those
rare, ahy amlles which, In the.daya long
ago, he had once thought ao aweet and
ao delightful; and Instead of answering
hla question, ahe aald to him aoftly and
dreamily:
"Do you remember the cherry tree lu
the old garden, Brian; and how I asked
you to teach me the secret of happlneas?"
"Oh, Kitten!" he murmured abashed,
covering hla eyes for a moment with hla
hand.
Tope waa right," ahe said with a
grave, aad little nod of the head. "No
one ran tench that, because no one la
happy; only for a little while one fanclea
It." And then ahe atole up behind him
and pnssed her tiny white hands round
hla neck, standing behind hla chair, so
that he ahould not aee her face, and lean
ing her check, that waa very, white and
hollow, against the dark curia of hla close
cropped bead. -
He tried to draw her round ao that
he might aee her face, but ahe kept her
place behind him. And ahe spoke a lit
tle brokeuly, perhaps, but still very gent
ly: "I am not very old or very wise
but I think I have learned one thing;
to each man and woman there la only one
other soul that can give content, ao that
no other person on earth can bring any
happlnexa to us, but that one only. And
when a man who lovea one, by some sad
mistake, marries another "
"Kitten! Kitten! do not aay that!" he
cried, but she laid her fingers upon hla
llpa and went on. "Then with that other
he cannot" find happluesa; oh, never
never! Do you not think I feel It? But
then, what la the meaning of love If it
cannot aavrlQce itself?" He did not un
derstand her. fully, nor aee what ahe
meant, nor what she wished to Imply; but
he saw that somehow his love to Roaa
mond was a thing which she had fath
omed' and protested that ahe was mis
taken, that he loved her and always
should love her best
That Mra. Earle was but an old friend
of his youth, whom he had met again
and who was nothing to him, oh, noth
ing at all. Perhaps, Indeed he did "pro
teat too much," for Kitten only smiled
sadly to herself. Of what avail are
empty words to one who knows, as Kit
ten knew, that he did not love her?
Then at laat, ha got up, and made as
though he would have taken ber Into ale
arms and comforted her; for ahe waa al
ways a child and never a woman la hla
eyes, and It seamed to blm that a few
klaaee and a few tender worda might
make It all right again between them,
and drive away tbla suspicion which.
surely, aome Ill-natured mischief maker
must have bean at paina to create In her
mind.
"Dear little Kitten, ailly little tree
elf!", he aald half jastiogluy to ber.
"Wbat foolish notiona have you nof tak
en Into your email bead! Come sod klee
me, and don't talk nonaenae any more,
tree If," he aald, trying to take bar Into
bis anna.
Bat Kitten poabed him back with her
email white hands.
"Oo,H ahe aald, with aa odd little gaap
In ber voice, which be only remembered
long afterward. "Oo now no, we won't
talk any more noneoue, aa yoa aay It
waa all all a tnietake."
And ao he went and left her. ne
turned hack to nod to her before be left
the room. Years and yeara afterward
bo could eee a. sin the breakfaat table,
daintily decked with little ferue In china
pota and buncbee of aummer flowers, Juat
aa Kitten alwaya loved that ber table
ahould be.
Half an hour later a hanaom carried
up a note to a certain hone In Con
naught ftjuare, addreseed to fclr Roy
Urantley.
"You aald If ever I wanted a friend,
yoo would be oue to me. I little thought
I ahould claim your promiae so 'soon.
Couie to me, Roy. I want you.
K1TTKX."
It will be Imagined that Hoy waa not
long la responding to thla appeal. Boon
after he waa alttlng with her in the
ahadowy roolnesa of ber pretty drawing
room, holding her tiny thin band In bia,
and llatenlng to ber lu dire dismay.
"Ieave your home, Kitten? Can you
realise wbat you would be doing? What
will people aay of you If you go away
from your husband's protection?"
"I shall not, Roy. I ahall atlll be In
bia house, only he will not know It"
"I don't eee how It can be managed,"
aald Roy.
"Do you mean that you will not help
me? Oh, then . am sorry Indeed that I
aeut for you."
"Now, Kitten, you know that la un
Juat. Would I npt die to aervo you?
But I cannot aee the nse of this strong
step which you are contemplating. Wbat
la there to be gained by it? After all,
are you not bia wife? Why, If you fear
the Influence of thla other woman, why
play Into her handa by deserting your
post? How can you better your caae by
fllAglng aaide your own rlghta and the
eecurlty of your own position?"
"Ah, you do not understand,' aha aald
Impatiently. "You talk about my rights
my poaition. at are they when I
have not got my busband'a heart? Will
he not be happier without the perpetual
reproach of my preance? Roy, only
think bow awful It muat be to have to
pretend to love a person every day of
your life, when you are alwaya hanker
ing after aome one else. Think if I bad
married you and loved Brian."
He winced a little and turned away.
Oh, women are very heartleaa to the
men they do not love. It did not occur
to her that aba waa causing him any
pain, ahe waa too full of the tragedy
in her own life. ,
i could not bear it" ahe cried; "and
to aee-blm atrlve and atruggle to simu
late a lov for me that 1 know he doee
not feel, that Is what I will not sit by
fend do. I want to aet him free."
"You cannot aet him free, not really,
Kitten; It la a folly to fancy It" ha
aald, almoat angrily, for thia abnegation
of herself filled him with a blind rage
which he did not dare to give utterance
to.
"Oh, why why did he marry you?"
he aaid, with a groan.
"That Is my affair," aald Kitten cold
ly, and rather loftily. If Roy had dared
to utter one disparaging word against
Brian, ahe would have ordered him out
of the houae, and Roy knew It "We
need not go Into that, If you pleaae, but
you can understand once and for all that
our marriage was entirely my own doing.
Will you help me? And will you keep
my aecret?"
He promised to do anything' and every
thing ahe told him.
"I don't see how it Is to be managed,"
he aaid doubtfully.
Kitten rose and went to her writing
table, and taking a letter out of a draw
er, gave it to him to read.
It waa from Mrs. Succurden, the house
keeper at Kepplngton, and waa address
ed to Brian. Roy read It through care
fully, then he looked up at her. .
"Well?" ahe aald Impatiently.
"I am Borry, Kitten, but I really
don't aee " he aaid hesitatingly. -
"Oh, Roy, you were alwaya a atupld
boy," ahe aald, with a half-Impatient
gesture. "Cannot you underatand that
the housekeeper wrltea to aak Brian if
ahe may have a girl under her, to take
charge of th china, and glass; ahe aaya
ahe la getting too old to clean and dust
It all properly herself. And Brian gave
me the letter to answer, and and I have
written this morning to say that I am
sending a girl down from London. Ilera
la my letter, and you muat post It for
me." ,
- But atlll Roy did not underatand. Ha
looked at her earnestly and fixedly, striv
ing to make out her meaning.
"Roy, don't you see that I shall be
the girl?"
(To be continued.)
Delights of 'Travel.
"Yes," he said, "for seven yeara I
have been a mall carrier on the Cross
cut rural route, and Id all thajt time
I have hever missed a trip."
"Such a life must be delightful," re
joined the Impulsive city girl. "I'm
never so happy aa when traveling."
Do not be self -opinionated, but listen
