hartlcigh hall w filled with guests dinner was over and there had been music and many of the guests had seated themselves at the card tables maida had wandered out on the t verandah where she thought to be alone but she had not been there many seconds when she heard a step behind her and looliing around saw caryl wilton parhoh me for disturbing you he said but i have ft word to say to you which vl had hoped you would forgive to make it clear to you let me suppose a case let us take the case of a woman who is in danger she has on acquaintance say lady gladys for examples wno is jealous of her

directly at maida as lie said this or he would have seen that she was growing ashy pale perhaps he knew the probable effect of his words and preferred- not to look at her until he had finished how can i help you in the mat ter she asked in a low tone then he turned and looked her full in tho face if nothing suggests itself to you then there is nothing you can say to help me he gently said no she answered almost coldly nothing suggests itself to me i do uoi understand you i hope you will excuse me if 1 leave you i wish to walk maida stepped swiftly across the terrace holding her shawl closely to hci the moonlight falling on her face which showed no trace of ner vousness or fear nothing but a sort of vexation at having been spoken to about a matter which she had been trying to forget tonight save for a few moments of terror as caryl wilton revived memories of the past she was nt peace with herself and with the past he was fanciful what could there be in any secret be tween lady gladys and the american any secret which could hurt her even caryl wilton could not be sure that she was not the rightful daugh ter of sir richard for after all she was the only daughter he had living and she would not let him think he could move her at will how exquisite she murmured looking up at tho sky i shall sure ly have time to take a loot at tho church how can they find any plea sure in sitting in those warm rooms while all this calls to them in vain communing thus she opened the wicket gate and stood among the tombs gleaming white in tho moon light- and as she looked around a smile played about her lips certainly i am not nervous she said are there many women with a taste like mine who would stand heic without a shudder how quiet it all is t wonder how the church looks insido she was passing the porch to look in rt one of tho windows when sho saw to her astonishment that tho door was half open with a sinilo at the thought of the extent to which sir richnrds anger and amazement would have gone had lie out known it she pushed the door open nnd en tered she stood in the nave admiring the weird beauty of the moonlit pillnrfl and carving nnd then walked slowly around the nisles a vivid ray of moonlight fell upon a largo white marble tablet and attracted her attention to it the tablet was no curiosity to her but sho always looked at it whenever sho entered the church sho knew tlio lines by heart but she read them again t sacred to the memory of agatha wife of sir richard hrtrtlelgh bart born june 0 18 died december 11 18 to lady ilartlcigh sho murmur ed yes that is tho worlds way a huge glaring tablot of stono is of fered ns an atonement for a life of wrongdoing ns a compensation for years of suffering such atonement nnd compensation as it is sho has had paid to her but what atonement has been made to that other suffering wo man betrayed and deserted and yet do i nsk what ntoncmont i forget an atonement has been made nnd it is i who have snatched itrx tho daughter of the betrayed wrong- od deserted woman atonement do i say what atonement could bo more complete i the child of tho de serted woman nnd in the place of tho rightful heiress bear tho proud hartlcigh nam wear the family dia monds- can irwry if i choose loo by toe author of a up57s daashter aoothcr runa wife a hearts bitterness etc etc heir to tho u mcihr and tho eager words stretched out her arms with a pas sionate sob have i not already kept my oath what more can you demand what more it is enough mother be satisfied with a gesture almost of appeal sho let her arms fall to her sides and with bent head moved from before the tablet as she passed into the deep shad ow cast by one of the pillars a sud den thrill ran through her one of thoso strange sensations by which we are convinced that hitherto unsus pected by us wo feel that some othci human being is near us she heard nothing saw nothing yet sho felt that something strange and mysterious was near her for tho first moment since leaving the terrace fear seized her- an intangi ble horror reached out a hand from the unknown and- touched her white as death not trembling but with every limb as rigid as the stone figures on the tombs she leaned against the pillar and stared beforo her a minute it might have been an a passed nnd she was about to make a great effort to recover her presence of mind when with a hor ror no tonguc can describe she saw a white figure gliding from the chan cel with noiseless regular movements j it seemed to float clown the aisle now lost in the shadows now white and distinct in the moonlight cold beads of sweat stood on maidas face with startling eyes she watched powerless to move c limb or utter a cry one thought alone possessing her in the shape of a- vague prayer that the something might not approach her or turn its face slowly the white figure reached the nave and was gliding toward tho door when all at once when it came opposite the tablet to the memory of lady hartlcigh it threw up its arms and turning full toward maida wailed mournfully mother v mother with an awful horror maida saw that the face was that which she had last seen lying cold and rigid in a faraway land for one moment she stared in speechless horror and then started forward with a wild cry the face turned from the tablet wi til an expression of horror not less than maidas own stared an in stant and then with a wail cried you is it you then the cry rang in maidas ears like a call from the dead and with a piercing screanihe sank senseless on the cold stomas chapter xxv it seemed to maida that an age hud passed when she recovered conscious ness and slowly fearfully raised her head and looked at the spot where she had seen the accusing face she gave a great gasp of relief when she realized that she was alone she looked about her with halffearful scrutiny and seeing nothing ghostly or human went to the gate as she put her hand upon it sho heard some thing move nnd looking up saw a figure advancing swiftly toward her it was no vision however but caryl wilton he peered at hec uncertainly for a momentt and thenwith a ges ture of relief advanced to her side is it you she said forcing s smile why urc you here why do you stare so do i look like a ghost forgive me he said in a low voice i could not remain in the house whilo you were out here alone how long have you been here she asked not more than a few minutes arc they still singing and enrd- playing most of them are gone he re plied and i am supposed to have gone sir richard thinks you are in your rooms and guy she asked guy he said with a frown guy i passed on the terrace he looked well to put it mildly tired and was splashed with mud as if he had been riding hard poor guy why do you pity him she asked because t have a fellow feeling for him we are in the same boat you do not look tired she said with forced lightness do i not look tired tired of play ing a part of eating my heart out in silence and dissimulation constance do not take your hand away i am a changed being you know what hair worked that change yet i will tell you if i mny great heaven why do you not trust me avhy should 1 because he said almost sternly in his earnestness because 1 love you she attempted to draw her arm away from his but he prevented it no do not tnko your arm nway do not affect surprise my love is no new thing to you constance maida which name shall i call you i love you by cither name j my darling he murmured stretching out his hand nppoalingly did you think such love ns mine would be blind i knew you the moment i saw you in england and i would have saved even you tho trouble of knowing that your secret was known but i was mad with lovo for you and i could not do that but if i let you know ihavo kept others from the forbidden knowledge have i not stepped betwen you nnd the prying eyes of envy ond malice and i havo not even sought to penetrate that past which you have kept so closely hidden why i do not know you do not know she murmur ed ns if that was nil of his passion ate speech she had heard hougl truth she had been thrilled by as heaven is my witness i do not know i do not care to guess i lovo you too dearly to care to pry into your secret if you have one but still i askwhy do you not trust me trust you sho murmured yes ho went on earnestly why should you not do your fear that i would betray you no she murmured what is it you suspect 1 suspect nothing ho responded almost passionately i will not even conjecture why you once maida car- rinciford are now constance

tosay to me do you distrust me7 and as he stood beforo her in hi passionate entreaty he clasped her iij his arms with nervous energy sho had stood and listened th color coming and going in the bcauj tiful face the light rising and fallinj in her dark eloquent eyes no sho said with an infinit pathos- but there is none whom can trust none there is some strange mystor which stands as an intangible barric between us he snid almost fierccl yes i will ask you one question j he broke out as if with a sudden ri solution i know that you ar maida carringford i will ask you i you are sir richards daughter a spasm seemed to pass over hej face her lips quivered and her eyes contracted but these signs of an in tense emotion passed in a moment ond looking him steadily in the face she sadly said i am sir richards daughter thank heaven he said then with a swift selfreproach he seized her hand constance i will not call you by that other name again forgive me i have been a fool let me confess how stupendous has been my folly i forgive me knowing you had concealed something of your past life from sir richard i was fool enough to imagine that there was some other and greater motive for that concealment than the natur al one and it was only probable that you should dislike to have your stage life chattered and slandered about by the friends of your new life you were right quite right but why did you distrust me why did you refuse to show me your mothers picture why avoid all mention of the past with which i was acquaint ed could you not trust me you knew i loved you yes she faintly murmured you know i love you now most truly most dearly with all my heart nnd soul answer me my love my darling with a low sob she drew her hand from his arm and covered her face gathering courage from her weakness ho put his arm around her and drew her nearer to him constance my love my only love he murmured for a momentthe tired head rested gladly contentedly on his shoulder then the remembrance of her tainted name came to her and asif stung sho started back and putting out her hand to keep him from her said brokenly no no do not speak to me do not look at me if if you love me leave me now without another word go oh go go heaven forgive you he mutter ed hoarsely a moment ago would have sworn that you love me no no sho cried piteously i did not know what i was doini i ought not to have listened i ol pity me and go no he said in the sharp tone great agony suppressed i cann leave you here come and hetl out his arm slowly faltcringly she put h hand within it and with avert head allowed him to lead her to t terrace within the light th streamed from an open doorho sto ped and allowed her arm to fall her side then he raised his hat aii was going without a word but 1 could not resist a last look and h eye fell thirstily on her beautiful fac so pale and sad his anguish cam rushing to his lips constance ho said hoarsely d not send me away for mercys sakt do not let mo slay and win knows this barrier that divides ut may be broken down she shook her hend and though there were no tears in her eyes her voice was full of them as she mur mured never never no power on earth con bridge the gulf that divides us it is best that we should part th time will come when you will than me for letting you go will be grat ful to ine for saving you from th pitfall toward which 1 have druwi you go now and she held ou her hand he took it eagerly it was hot an burning ho passionately clung t it i will go he said his dark eyes fixed on her face yes i will go if in tho coming time you mny have need of me do not believe that my love may have waned or doubt that 1 will come as quickly as i now leave you that tlino may never come but if it should remember that a word a look will bring me to your bide the last words were almost inaud ible by reason of his emotion with n sigh he raised her hand to his lips unci kissed it twice slowly passion ately and then was gone to bo
