CHAPTER L " BEHOLD, A Unix eLODD ARISET1t New, LIRE TTNTO A Ira\''a mem," Well, well, and so it had come to this at last --aa mutual separation 1 and only two years, only two short span of years, since they had knelt side by side before the altar and vowed solemnly to love and honour till death should them part ; but neither death nor broken faith had come between them— tally pride, and pa,tsion, and miserably little misunderstandings that are the knell of happiness --haughty silence where there should have been the cocieiBatory word -- passionate words where there should have been golden silence—wild taunts from the young wife, never really meant, but which wounded cruelly all thesame, and stung the man into fierce retort, equally unmeant at bottom, bat equally wounding, beeauseeacb in their heart loved the other, and mistook the wretched outcome of their haughty rem- ers for the death of love. Ab, ane ! ab, me ! bow dark a storm may gather and break from the little cloud that at first is but like unto a man's baud'. Perhaps quite in the beginning the first error had been his; for, proud of her beauty and fascination, he had taken her, a mere girl, full a dozen years his junior, from a quiet, aver.indulgent home, and flung her into soeiety'svortex, expeetingand exacting in his masculine demands the steady bead of twenty -fire on careless, thoughtless eighteen ; then, when she, half puzzled, half deeiniugit love's eaprice, so treated it, be had etraiue3 authority ton imperiously, and she had haughtily rebelled. So little by little the breach, bad widened, and they had drifted farther and farther into a cold neutrality, which bad at last beoome unbearable under the sarin roof ; and 80 the old lawyer of the husband's family, with a wise ulterior motive, based. on his knowledge of human nature had sug- gested a mutual separation by deed of which he was trustee. Wilfred Trevanian was to allow his wife a thousand a year, and she was to livewbere she pleased, se that the lawyer, Mr. Lamb. ton, kuew her whereabouts and the bus. baud's. The deed was signed at the lawyer's office, and so, in his presence, they parted, with breaking heart*, and eyes and hands that dared not, would not, meet.

Light and supple, up she ran to the top of the ladder ; but the laugh had fled sudden- ly from the crimson lips, died out of the bright eyes—bright, despite the shadow in their depths ; three Christmastides ago— howmanyyears it seemed though—who had kissed her under the mistletoe ? Nobody in their preoccupation noticed that Mrs. Carrington and another lady, an intimate friend, who had only arrived an hour or so ago from a great distance, had come to the open door. " What a nest of birds," said the hostess, in good-natured amusement ; "suck .a noise—I wonder their tongues don't get tired t" " Youth -youth ; it is their harvest of happy hours 1 " answered Lady Merivale, Clara's mother. " But I see one who just now is neither chatting nor looking very bright—that slender, handsome girl on the top of that ladder.. Who is she, my dear ? " A neighbor of ours—Mrs. Stanhope." " Mrs. Stanhope l—that slip of a girl ! " " She is twenty-one, and was married at eighteen "saki Mrs. Carrington. ""More shame to those that allowed it 1" " But Hr. Stanhope, my dear ? Surely that girl is not a widow ?" Mr. Carrington paused doubtfully. " Well, I presume she is since her lawyer, Mr. Lambton—the very man man who was our London solicitor in that lawsuit we had two years ago wrote for her about the cottage ornee for his client, Mrs. Stanhope, who had early lost her husband, which accounts for het being out of mourning when she cache.

" I am in no danger I think, Mrs. Caning - ton, worshipper of beauty though I am." "Wo shall see. You know nobody here, I suppose ?" "II am a stranger to these parts—no, I know nobody." His dark observant oyes were scanning the crowd of dancers that revolved past; and in that moment, as if to give him the very lie, they caught sight, for and flash of one amongst the throng—one face, one form in all the world. The man did not start outwardly; he stood absolutely still, not breathing even and every drop of blood surged back on his heart ; the blaze of light was a mist before him, and his lips and teeth set like a vice ; the next moment he turned smiling to his hostess : " I see several very pretty faces that should be dangerous to unwary masculine nature. Who is that beautiful girl in crim- son and gold ?" It was a daring question, when he held his breath almost for the expected answer —" Oddly enough, a namesake of yours." "Ah, you are in danger after all ?" chaffed Mrs. Carrington, "that is she, our fair neighbour, a young widow, Mrs. Stanhope." Wilfred Trevanian did start this time under the fierce stab of these words, that like a dagger cut down at ablow a little unacknowledged flower of hope, and left free place to the wild passions and jealous, mad- dening pain that swept over his soul. She had dared to fling aside his very name and her wifehood to give herself more freedom ; she had never loved him—she hated him —great Heavens 1—hated him so bitterly that in leaving his protection she had dis-, owned even his name, lest there should be some link left. " Hope, withering, fled; and Morey sighed Farewell." In his blind passion and agony he steeled. himself anew, and believed he bad succeed- ed. Oh ! would they never know—those two—the sublime secret of "When and whore to come back and be forgiven 1 " ]rut the very instinct of the man's haughty nature made him instantly cover that start. "That young thing a widow ? " he repeat- ed, and almost wondered at his own audac- ity, despising himself, too, for the falsehood implied. " Why, she is young to 'be even a wife ; or is she, perhaps, some years older than she looks?" "No, poor ohild ; but our London lawyer whom we expect presently—did Arthur tell you?" "Yes, and oddly enough Mr. Lambton happens to be my lawyer too ; he has so many clients, you know." "No wonder," returned Mrs. Carrington. " Well, our tenant, Mrs. Stanhope, is an- other of them, and he wote tows about her regarding our cottage ornee, and said sho had early lost her husband. I will present you directly the dancing stops." " Thanks, I shall be honoured." The drooping moustache veiled at least the bitter curve of the chiselled lips.

How hard it was for that little hand not to cling—how impossible to master the tremor that went through her slight form— when once again sho felt that strong arhn circle it as it yielded itself to hien 1 in the first few minutes of wild ecstasy she saw nothing—felt nothing but his clasp ; her outward ear heard the music, and lois feet kept absolute rhythm with hors, because both were such porieet dancers, not because either (alt, if each could have seen that !) moved with any sentient volition for many minutes at least. But these two waltzes—the question was still uppermost—and at last, without paus- ing, Trevanian put abruptly, sternly it came, in fact, in the agony of suspense for what to him lie in the answer? "Did you know I was asked here for Christmas, and was expected this evening 2" Scarcely, perhaps, was it a wonder that the girl utterly misread his drift, and the haughty retort sprang to lips. " Do you dare to think I should be here, fn your path, if I had known it in time?" A year ago the retaliation would have pas- sed those lips, but now something arrested it. "No," she said, proudly, forcing back the rising sob that made her bosom heave, " I only heard by chance this afternoon late that you—that a Mr. Wilfred Trevanian— was expected." His heart throbbed to suffocation; she had known, then, that he would be at this ball; she had been always in past days, be- sieged in the first fifteen minutes of the evening by eager adorers, and yet—yea there had been these two best dances unpro- mised--whea he, the latest to arrive, had come ; or was there some otherguest expect- ed, and by then given up? 0 1 self -tormentor 1 0 ! foolish and blind gnide to go the crooked way when the staight road was plain before him 1 He said no more—dared not trust him- self, perhaps—and directly the waltz was ended took her to a seat by Lady Merivale —bowed coldly, and left her.

It is intolerable agony to be under the same roof, and know—sue—yes, see how she shrinks and hates my presence 1" • Wilfred went to claim that second waltz in its turn, but he scarcely spoke; and after that they scarcely were near more than once. That night the man paced his room full half the few hours left for rest ; and the young wife in her room sobbed herself at last to sleep. The terrible unforseen--to- gether yet apart—was beyond all power to be llorne for long. (TO BE CONT/NUED.
