CHAPTER TXVII.
One night, some months later, Clive was
coming •out of the Boase; and as he pass-
ed through the usual crowd; who made a
lane for him:, he was gazed at with eager
curiosity and interest, and those of the
spectators who were familiar with the
Benue and Its members nudged thoee who
were not sa fortunate, and whispered,
"That's Mr, Clive Hervey. the Right Hon,
Clive Harvey, President of the .Ltcal Gov-
ernment Board!" They watehed him as he
went dowa the steps and along the tor-
rider, same of them no doubt envious -7',
but possibly u few with another kind of
feeling; for they could not fail to see that
the successful politician did not look, not-
withstanding Itis sneeces, as happy as we
still think a, man ought to look -when be
has gained his heart's desire.
They could not fail to see that he 'was
thin and pale and careworn; hie well -
keit frame was held erect, and the peen
- grey eyes looked straight before them;
but there was no glow of satisfaction be
them,no indication that he wasrevelling
in the triumph of gratified ambition. His
was not pray a look of overwork -for it
is possible to be overworked and yet to
be happy -but that of a man who has
somesecret outside his public life, some-
thing preying on his mind.
The Liberate were in -with a big ma-
jority; and it was they who now lounged
with an air of complacency in their seats,.
and talked and laughed with themanner
of men wale have been victors in the
fight, and are enjoying thespoils; and
Clive% friends and colleagues thought and
expected that he would have been enjoy-
ing his share of the good things; for he
bad been made President of the Local
Government Board, and h:e appointment
had been receivedi with general approval.
It was said quite openly that, if luck stood
by him, he would one day be Premier. But
if he displayed no satisfaction or grati-
fication in the honor which had been be -
stewed upon him, he certainly proved the
wisdom of Mr. Graham's choice; and
Clive quickly earned the reputation -ef be-
ing "a glutton for work."
Indeed, he seemed to share pea time be-
tween his Office, the Housc, and Grosvenor
Square', where Lord Chesterleigh and
Ludy Edith frankly and openly displayed
the delight and pride in his appointment
which appeared to be lacking in Clive
b=mself. And yet they, too, seemed to
I uneasily aware that there was some-
.g wrong. Lard Chesterleigh ascribed
c: overwork; and Lady Edith tried to
pt and to share this diagnosis of
condition; but ehe was possessed
ler a vague. ' and indefinable senss of
"something wrong, which not even Clive's
devoted attention toher could dispel. And,
indeed, be was the most devoted of
hanees.
He had always been what is called at- .
tentive to her; but since . the election hie
manner had been marked by a chivalrous
devotion which had a note of tenderness,
an air of protection, which though it
should have gratified her, only accentuat-
ed her vague and nanieleeu apprehension:
Eye and lip service, however watchful,
however unremitting, is a poor subs'itute
for love. It is strange and awful the
ernount of ill-treatment a woman will bear
from a man uncomplainingly while she is.
sure of his love for her. Women of the
lower orders will Ch.eerfuIly endure even
blows if they are ewe that the heart of
the brute who ill-treats them still beats
for them; andthere is little difference
at core between 'Arriet, the eostermonger'e
girl, and your Ledy Edith Chesterleigh.
If Clive had been at times impatient,
brusque, and, yee, even brutal, Lady Edith
would have borne the treatment with
more than equanimity, if she could have
felt certain that a passionate Jove for her
lay behind it; but he was never impa-
tient, never brusque, always Courteous
and eager to forestall her slightest' desire,.
to gratify every whim.: The pride which
was her chief characteristic had been
lulled, hypnotized by her love for him'
but it, was only lulled, only sleeping, and
it might be awakened any moment, and
cast forth flames and ashen like any
aroused volcano.
Clive was thinking of her as he passed
out of the klouee that' night; in feet, he
was always thinking of her. He lived in
the endeavor to thrust Irina out of his
mental sight, chit of his, memory, and to
implant Lady Edith there. The House

Lard Chesterleigh knocked at the door
while they were talking and arranging
the marriage; and he entered ,into the
discussion with a joy and a pleasure too
obvious -for concealment:• Lady Edith de-
cided that she could get her trousseau to-
gether in three weeks; and an, approxi-
mate date for the marriage was chosen to-
wards the end of that period; and Olive
went.home with that souse of relief evhich
follows on a momentous derieion,
Notwithstanding his exalted political po-
sition and his increased income, he still
occupied his old rooms in Burleigh Street,
stili very .often dined 'off a mutton chop.
and still smoked hits old briar. Now and
again he met Quilton on the stairs, or
Quilton came to hie• rooms hut the con-
versation of the two men leas almost en-
tirely confined to political' and similar
subjects. Mina and the unhappy woman,
her mother, were never mentioned. Quil-
1 ton's manner to Clive, was as impertur-
able and indifferent as it bad been in the
early stages of their acquaintance or, if
there was any obauge, it was indicated
by a certain tone of pity .and sympathy;
anyway, Quilton had not treated Clive
lately with the touch ofsardonic irony
which he displayedon one or tw" occa-
sions come months before. ,
That night Clive paused at hie own
door, and then went up to Quilton% room.
Ile was conscious of a desire to tee him of
the approaching marriage. -He knocked
at the door, and Quilton opened it cite
-
Heeds"; avery little way; but, seeing
that it was Clive, at once opened it Wide-
ly and beckoned him to .enter. -
Quilton cleared a chair by the simple
operation of tilting the books and papers
upon it to the floor, and Clive cat down
and leant his. bead on his hands.- Ile was
the Right Hon. Olive Harvey, a passible
Premier; but at; that 'moment ho felt that,
he would willingly change places. with the
solitary worker who lived in that cheer-
less room. Quillen pushed his tobacco
pouchacross the table, and, seating him-
self on the aria of hie writing -chair, filled
hie own pipe.
"Anything the matter?" he inquired in
a casual way. •
Clive reused himself from his reverie.
"The matter? Oh, no, T am going to be
married in about three weeks; •and I
thought I should like to tell you- Win
you come to the ceremony, Quilton?"
"Muth honored by the invitation," said
Quilton; "but marriages are not in my
way. All the same, I wish you luck.
Where are you going to spend your honey-
moon? Try Switzerland. You look to me
offcolor, as if you wanted toning up;
and there is nothing like a dose of Al-
pine air. Thinge going all right in the
House?„
"Oh, yes," said Clive ''list'essly.
"I see that some of your Socialistic
friends are making themselves a nuts
anoe," said Quilton; and those 'who are
out of the House appear to be as bitter
as those inside it."
"0h, do they?" said - Olive.
"Yes," eaid Quilton, staring at hie pipe.
"There's a man named "lieshki who seems

Clive laughed' mirthlessly. "Ole, 1 know

"jug so. And, of course, yoili know you're

ally as before.
"0h, am I?"
"Yes;. very closely and very neatly shad-

Mr. Pelletier that he has had in-
