you bring shame and agony to A inis and
Hilda and as for him ”
“Be silent! For pity be silent I You do
not know. lam at the mercy of another
and he is merciless”
“And what can Crawford Carden—despic-
able scoundrel as lie is—do that his name
should be more powerful to you than Mar-
tin Pomeroy’s? I know you married with-
out love for your husband; but you are his
wife nolle the less and will be as long as
you and he shall live.”
"No. lain going to set him free” she
said in a whisper.
“And how? By covering his name and
your sisters' with shame! Gwendoline you
shall not do this fearful thing. You are and
must still be his wife in the eyes of Heaven.
You are not sodead to your own self-respect
as to lose that of lire World at once and for
ever to throw away earth's best and sweet-
est happiness and risk your very hopes of
lieaven. You are mad to speak of to dream
of this terrible sin.”
“Perhaps 1 am mad” she answered dully.
“But 1 must go. Don't meddle with me; it
is of no use.”
“Of no use!” I cried. “Of no use to keep
you till you are sane to prevent you from
ruining your life? I swear I will not leave
you Gwendoline!”
She tried to shake me off with frantic
force; but I clung the tigliter to her hand.
"I will I must go! He is waiting. I will
not be kept in this way. I am not a child
to be treated like this!” she gas]>e<l broken-
ly. “Viola you do not understand you do
not know. I cannot draw back 1 dare not
—it is too late!”
“Answer me one question Gwendoline.
Do you love Crawford Carden?”
"Love him I”—and there was an intensity
of hatred and loathing in her voice. "I de-
test him! The thought that lam going to
cheat him to be revenged on him is the
sweetest thought I have!”
“And for this you will blight the lives of
all who love you—for one who Is cruel and
crafty and knows not the meaning of hon-
esty or honor?”
"Ah I am not so vile as you think Viola!
I am going with him; but once away I shall
escape from him and go my own course and
leave him to do what he may. I shall be
out of his power then; now I am In it Once
more Viola let me go or I must make
youI”
“Once more Gwendoline I will not! I
appeal to every instinct of right and good-
ness In you I appeal ”
“They have told you nothing of me” she
interrupted. “Do you know aught of my
life Viola? Did they tell you how I have
been treated all my life—how I was put up
by my aunt to be sold to the highest bidder
in the marriage-market and when they
fancied I loved Guy Dashwood who fell Id
love with me how they lied and burned his
letters to separate us and half forced me
into marriage with Martin Pomeroy? You
mean well child; you have been the only
friend I remember to have had all my life
and jou have been my friend in spite of my-
self; but you cannot understand such a life
as mine.”
I remembered the name of Guy Dash-
wood; it was he whom Lucy had mention-
ed as the artist who painted the portrait of
beautiful Miss Farquhar.
“Did you love Mr. Dashwood?” I said.
“If 1 had loved him I should have be-
lieved nothing against him. No; I did not
know then what love was. If I had cared
for him I would never have married as I
did; it was because 1 did not know what
love meant that they cheated me. And aft-
er I was married 1 learned their treachery
and I said to myself that I would avenge it;
and this is the last act Viola! My hus-
band accused me of flirting. Why should I
not? 1 said; and I went on. I refused to go
to India with him and he sent me here as a
prisoner. I outwitted my gaolers; I never
believed in Crawford Calden’s declarations;
but 1 let him go on Iwcanse 1 was outwitting
my uncle and Hilda and you and because I
had been suspected unjustly.”
“And to live up to suspicion . will you
dare to commit a crime against Heaven—be
false to yourself to play into the hands of a
villain?”
“Hear me out” she cried “since you have
interfered with me I never thought to con-
fess: but you have forced it from me. After
you came here there was always some one
—you or another—near to prevent me from
seeing him; but I eould use my pen. In my
exultation at deceiving my warders I acted
as a fool. Now there is nothing left for me
but this.”
"Do you mean that he has letters of
yours?” I said slowly.
“He has letters—four letters—and those
letters will be given to my husband if I
draw back now. Do you think 1 will stay
to meet my husband knowing this? I would
rather fling myself into the lake—and 1
Would do it but to be revenged on Card n!”
“And what is to be your husband’s greet-
ing on his return home?”
“Do you doubt that he will be glad to be
rid of me? He will get a divorce. Do you
doubt that he will avail himself of It? No;
he may win then—l pray Heaven he may I—-
a good and true wife—l think 1 might once
have been one—and forget me. He will
soon forget me.”
She was sobbing and trembling from head
to foot 1 was glad to see her so. 1 knew
the victory was won.
"Gwendoline” I answered gently taking
both her hands in mine—and she did not re-
sist me now—“you love your husband.”
“Heaven help me” she cried “I do!”
CHAPTER XIX.
We were silent for a space standing there
on the verge of the park-land in the dark-
ness. She leaned against a lime-tree trunk
tom and shaken with struggles of body and
soul; and 1 was wondering what I could do
how her rescue was to be assured.
“I am going to take you back to the
Giange” I said firmly and quietly “and see
you safely again In your own room; and I
shall go and meet Mr. Crawford Carden.”
“You Viola! What can you do? No no;
there is nothing can help mo now I”
“There may be only one way; but that
way 1 shall try and I believe I shall bring
you your letters back. But you must come
home with me first”
She was too weak to protest and she did
not answer a word. We walked together to
the Grange and unnoticed up to her room.
Then in the light of the lamp under the
familiar roof to which she had said fare-
well her eyes met mine and she sank back
from me with a wailing cry.
"Why should you care?” she said. "Why
do you think it worth while to help me?”
I dare say I looked forlorn and pale
enough. I was shivering with cold for I
had gone out without covering on my head
or extra wrap about my shoulders and she
was sufficiently roused from herself to be
conscious of my condition.
I took off her hat and cloak and then rang
for Lucy to coine to her—not Mathilde;
Mathilde if I could do anything should
never set foot inside her mistress’s room
again.
"I will go now” I said trying to speak in
cheerful commonplace tones “You must
tell me where I shall find him.”
She put out one white hand to me.
"Viola what can you do?” she asked a
flush rising into her pale face. "Are you
not deceiving yourself? 1 have tried in vain
to bribe him. Do not you go Into danger.
He is false and bad to the core. See—l will
promise you I will not see him again Viola;
but while he has those letters I cannot
meet my husband.”
"Dear 1 am not afraid of him!” I answer-
ed. “Do not fear the end.” And the cour-
age I summoned to comfort her steeled my
own faltering heart.
Quickly as ' could I shrouded myself in
shawl and thick veil and stole away once
again from the Grange and hastened »ero»«
the park to the Not bury gate to meet Craw-
ford Carden.
He was standing just within It by the trill
liialge; and he opened the gate hurriedly for
me to pass th uh.
"C me my love” he whispered. "ohm—-
you me late. The carriage Is only a few
yards off. We shall have enough to do to
catch the train. Come!"
I stixxi facing him by the gate.
“It Is I. Mr. Carden” 1 said clearly. “I
think you are mistaking me for some one
else.”
He remained a moment stock-still gulp-
ing down an involuntary oath; and I knew
there was rage in tile dark face 1 could not
see. When he answered his voice was
softer and ->|e»santer than ever; the unsus-
picious could have detected the false ring
nt such carefully-concealed base metal.
“This is indeed a surprise Miss Thorne!
Will you allow me to accompany you where
you may be going? It is far too late for a
young lady to be out alone.”
“1 am going no farther than this gate” 1
replied. "1 came to see you.”
"I am hardly deserving of such a compli-
ment; hut that I appreciate it I need hardly
say. Can Ldo anj thing for you?”
“1 come from Lady Martin Pomeroy."
“Indeedl” He allowed himself to betray
nothing beyond curiosity.
“Are you not anxious to hear further Mr.
Carden?”
“I am ready to receive her ladyship’s
message.”
“She desires the return of letters In your
possession.”
"In my possession! What letters? My
dear Viola ”
“Mr. Carden I know all about them. Do
not trouble to explain.”
Ills mild expostulatory tone changed a
little but only a little; he was too wise to
betray feeling; and he answered with quiet
scepticism—-
“Don't you think Lady Martin had better
come to transact her own business herself?”
“Lady Martin has not the least intention
of coming.”
“Then kindly tell her with all deference
that I must answer her letters are too valu-
able to be parted with even at the bidding
of Miss Thorne."
“And what good” 1 cried “can they be
to you? What would It avail you to make
her unhappy even If by them you could
part husband and wife? Is it of no use Mr.
Carden to appeal to your generosity—to beg
you not to take advantage of a woman’s
moments of weakness?”
“It would be better If you would leave
this matter to be settled by those who un-
derstand it You are exciting yourself quite
unnecessarily.”
"You shall judge presently whether I un-
derstand it I appeal to your honor as a
gentleman Mr. Carden and to your wisdom
as a lawyer. What advantage do you look
for? Is It one whose loss cannot be recom-
pensed to you? If Ido not speak of right
and integrity and conscience will you not
be magnanimous? I thought a man would
scorn so mean a revenge."
“I really must decline to have anything
to do with a third person interfering in mat-
ters which concern only myself and Lady
Martin Pomeroy.”
“And you refuse to return those letters?”
“Certainly.”
“Because thej’ are hers and it is I who
ask tor them? You need not make that at
least your reason. What ground have you
for supposing them to be written by Lady
Martin? I grant that she was cognisant of
them that her maid gave them to you. But
do you know her writing so well? She may
have been foolish she may not have acted
always as Lord Martin’s wife should have
done; but do you imagine fora moment that
she would in writing compromise herself
with yon? Keep your letters; but let them
laugh who win. Even a lawyer may be de-
ceived!”
I saw him stark and felt his eyes flash on
me. It was well that the darkness hid my
face and that he could not see how my
trembling belied the cool tones whose bold-
ness I inwardly marvelled at.
“Do you dare” he said “to tell me that
Lady Martin did not write them?”
“‘Dare’ is a strong word to use Mr. Car-
den.”
“Pool! 1 Do you expect me to believe that
trumped-up tale? For what reason pray
am I entreated to return them?”
“It is 1 not Lady Martin who asks you.
They are of no use to you and 1 will give
five hundred pounds for them. There are
only four; it is not bad value.”
"Lady Martin offered me a thousand.”
“Sol suppose; but my offer is in good
faith.”
“You mean that hers was not?”
“1 mean what you like to make of my
words Mr. Carden. 1 offer no explanation.
I have discovered—she who had learned to
know you has taught me—that you were
writing to her pretending to be in love with
her while to me ”
He took the bait I offered him. It was a
last bitter and desperate attempt to save
Gwendoline. I did not think he could hurt
me but indeed I hardly considered it then.
Anything to rescue poor unhappy Gwendo-
line at the mercy as she had tiuly said of
one utterly mercile-s.
I broke off abruptly. I dared not say more;
and with «ildly-beating heart 1 stood look-
ing down on the ground shivering with fear
from head to foot
He paused to think over his next move. I
hoped that he would think the owner of the
Grange would pay him a more remunerative
price than he could win from Lady Martin
Pomeroy 1 thought he w. uld name some
heavy sum. Even if he did not believe me
It would be more profitable thus to terrorise
over me than over her for he must see that
there was no chance of winning Gwendo-
line. He answered in the ingratiating tones
I had ever hated; but 1 was fool enough to
think they proved me the victor puzzled
though I was.
“It shall be” he said “exactly as you
wish. I will give the letters to you but to
you only. For your sake and Lady Mar-
tin’s I can trust to no other hands. Meet
me to-morrow evening at nine o’clock; you
shall have them.”
“I shall be here.”
“’Phis is too near the high-road. I will
meet you by the shrubbery gate. Give my
compliments to Lady Martin Pomeroy and
tell her that when she is frank she need not
fear me. I retaliate only on those who de-
ceive me. Don’t stay out longer Viola; it
is late and cold."
I hurried away and ran across the close-
cut turf to the Grange. 1 opened the door
and passed from the ghostly rustling trees
and the night-air into the dark corridor and
then into the warm lighted hall and as I
came there I was brought suddenly face to
face with Hilda.
Her cold blue eyes met me with a haughty
stare.
"I thought you were up-stairs with Gwen-
doline” she said.
“I was” I answered.
"You have been out” she said looking
up and down my dress at my carelessly-
fastened shawl my rough hair and per-
haps heeding too my white face and pant-
ing breath. I had taken off my veil when I
met Mr. Carden.
"Y’es in the garden.” And then I went
up-stairs and to Gwendoline’s room.
She was sitting just where I had left her
and looked up with great wistful eyes and
quivering mouth. She did not speak.
“I have seen him. You need fear noth-
ing” 1 said.
“Have you them—the letters? You cannot
have done it Viola I I have been thinking
while you were away that I ought not to
have involved you hi my wretchedness. You
cannot have conquered him! It would be
eAsier to tame a tiger.”
“Y’ou shall have the letters to-morrow” I
answered. “He has promised to give them
to me.”
“Child is It true? Has he made you
promise nothing?” She rose still holding by
her chair. There was a world of wild anxiety
struggling fright and yearning distrustful
hope in her eyes. “1 offered him a thou-
xaud bounds and he would not releuL”
"There Is no bribe and no promise; but
he knows his game is useless."
And when she would let herself tie con-
vinced she b gan to cry; and 1 hail to sit
beside and comfort her for an hour.
CHAPTER XX.
Lord Martin Poui Toy came the next day.
The whole house wan in excitement He
was a man who wax beginning to be talked
aliont In the political world axwell as the long-
absent husband of Gwendoline. She was
nervous amt agitati'd and talked to me rest-
lessly of him. He was so gmid and honor-
able and steadfast; amt her piteous eyes
■ought my five asking me more plainly
than word* if 1 thought heeouid forgive tier
ami love tier.
She gave orders to the maid for her most
becoming dress and put jewels which he
hast given her. and which she had not Worn
for a twelvemonth ou her white neek and
arms and tmiked at herself in tin* glass
wondering if site had lost the beauty which
won him or If In the days of tier rebellious-
Hess lie had learned to despise IL
When he arrived she did not press for-
ward to welcome him but stood a little back
from the group in the hall a bright color
flickering in tier fair cheeka her large eyes
sparkling and flushing w ith a golden light
tier golden hair glow Ing beneath the gleam
of a lamp amt In It one great crimson flow-
er of the color of the rich velvet that trim-
med her shimmering white dress.
1 saw that tils portrait had told me no lies.
The tall well-built man with the decided
mouth and the keen eyes was a man to re-
spect; ills voice was honest ami pleasant to
the ear the clasp of his hand was firm and
his tones were kind an I clear. He greeted
his siston-in-law with brotherly friendli-
ness but Ids eyes sought his wife at once.
And when h.' saw her ami saw too the ex-
pression of her face there came a softness
and a gladness into Ids own that made it
handsome. He strode across the hall to her
and took her In his arms and kissed her.
• •••••
At dinner Gilhei t and Ulrlc joined us. I
scarcely know how It went off; but 1 knew
that Gwendoline was battling with happi-
ness against a few remaining fears. The
presence of laird Martin almost a stranger
to three of its threw a certain reserve over
our talk and 1 was nervous amt beginning
to dread what miserable results might fol-
low if Crawford Carden should break his
Word and seek to divide this newly-united
husband and wife. I could not help watch-
ing them and wondering what would hap-
pen ; would he forgive her folly?
“Y’ou are very quiet to-night” Hilda sud-
denly said to me. “I suppose It Is because
of your position as the hostess as lady of
the Grange.”
Lord Martin looked across the table at mo
as she spoke in a clear bell-1 ike voice with
a little smile on her proud lips. His eyes
were very searching even in a cursory
glance but they were kind; he might have
expected the Grange as his wife's fortune
but he showed nothing but the most courte-
ous consideration for me.
I felt the color rising in iny face the hot-
ter for the laugh 1 attempted in answer. 1
was surprised by Hilda’s remark for It
was not often she addressed me and never
could I remember that she had thus oiwnly
and smilingly alluded to Gilbert’s Inherit-
ance. I did not know this was but part of a
determined scheme.
When dinner was over the gentlemen
jollied us directly in the dfhwing-room. An-
nis and Ulric Lord Martin and Gwendoline
sat together and laughed and talked and
Lord Martin told of his life abroad.
“Shall you be willing Gwendoline” he
Asked “to go back with me and share all
the little deprivations a life abroad must
have? They shall be as few as it Is possible
to make them and there are many atoning
pleasures. 1 hope you can make up your
mind to it;” ami he looked at her earnestly.
She answered in very low trembling ac-
cents—
“lf you will have me.”
Hilda was at the piano and she had sum-
moned Gilbert to her side to turn over the
pages of her music and was carrying on a
light conversation with him. Iler pink
dress w ith its full sleeves and square bodice
and thick white ruff as in a picture by some
old master suited to perfection her fair face
and pale yellow hair dressed high and en-
twined pearls.
1 looked at the daintj’ Dresden clock on
the mantelpiece; its hands pointed to five
minutes to nine. No one seemed to be heed-
ing me greatly so 1 slipped out of the bril-
liant room with its pictures and china and
velvet seats its flower-scented music-laden
air.
Out of doors the night was warm and still
and fine. There was no wind to chill me
and Indeed I was in a fever-heat as I stole
through the dark copse hearing the music
grow fainter and fainter to my ears and
casting one look back at the light streaming
through the windows upon the terrace-walk.
I could still see its gleam through the trees
when I stood by the shrubbery wicket
Mr. Carden was not there and when pres-
ently he appeared he was full of aixdogles
to w hich I paid no heed. Then he began
Asking a variety of questions concerning
Lord Martin.
“Mr. Carden” I said “they will answer
all these questions attheGrange. Y’ouknow
what I have come for. Please do not detain
me longer than necessary.”
"A thousand pardons! I will not keep
you an unnecessary moment” lie answerei
I did not guess the delay was necessary to
him; he was only waiting for the curtains
to be draw n across the bright gleaming win-
dow a preconcerted signal lie drew forth
the letters.
“Y’ou have been playing with edged tools”
he said. “You knew I loved you; you knew
you were leading me to suppose that I was
not distasteful to you ”
"How dare you say so?” I interrupted
passionately.
“Do not be angry with me now” he said.
“Y’ou have chosen otherwise and I of
course am bound to accept that decision.
But you have treated me very hardly; can
you deny it? Was it fair and womanly to
tempt me with such letters as these? What
if Gilbert Gascoigne heard of your conduct
or laird Martin of his wife's?”
It seemed safer to keep silent than to try
to answer his questions; so I kept silent
“I soon” he went on “fathomed the little
plot and to you not Gwendoline I yielded
—to you not Gwendoline I consented to
give the letters back. You say It was her
thought this plot to entrap me to show you
I could flirt with her when she chose to
commence the flirtation; and I can but ac-
cept a lady’s word. But it is proof Viola
that you did love me if you caused Gwendo-
line to resort to such a subterfuge. It was
natural she should vilify me to save the
Grange for her cousin against the wish of
Richard Gascoigne whose happiest convic-
tion was that I whom he pleased to call his
faithful friend had won you. Ido not won-
der at Gwendoline Pomeroy’s manoeuvres;
but you whom I thought all that was true
and sweet and fair—l cannot understand
you Viola!”
What still could I say? I knew I had en-
tered the trap; 1 had done so with open
eyes. I knew he was lying but I could not
contradict him; and the rapid eagerness of
his tones baffied all the clear cold words I
thought I had ready with which to meet
him.
“You opened the game. I understand that
move and 1 led you on. Should I not aft-
er your confession be fully justified in keep-
ing these letters and showing them to whom
I like? You and lady Mai tin had no re-
morse in cheating me; I believed you loved
me 1 might well have supposed she did.
Now I take it. I have the revenge in my
power.”
“Do you mean to use your opportunity?”
1 asked in a low voice suppressing all feel-
ing and alarm as best I could.
“No” lie answered directly “I do not
Take vour letters. Some time it mav occur
