She bent her head, but she °mild not steady her voice to speak. "Why have I not heard this before ?" he went on. "How dared you marry me? Hove dared you swear 'before God to be my true and, loving wife, when, you knew It was a black faleehood ? What had I done to you, Ruth" [his tone softened for a moment], "that you should wrong me like this? Why did you not tell me this wretched story ea starting ?" Standing there, her eyes bent on the ground, she had been asking herself the same question. Now as she lookedup, and saw the honest dignity that dominated the pain in his face, a strange revulsioxt passed over Ruth. She and Micheal seemed to change places; it was she who had injured him. She had oheated him ; she even lied to gain her -ends. She longed to kneel down and asked his forgiveness, bat her shame was boo great. He kept himself from looking at her. " You can at least explain," he said. "1 have no excuse to offer," she said humbly. "1 have no hope that this other person, that Mr. Bevington will ever thin k of me again. It has been all my owe fault." She paused, then she added "It would have been worse to let you go on thinking I had any love to give you." He was too angry to be touched by her submission; perhaps, for the time, his auger deepened because he could not wreak it on her, when she owned her conduct to be without excuse. She did not ask herself to be forgiven ; she felt herself to be too guilty. She only longed to get away and hide herself from Michael's contempt. She stood before him with bent head and clasped hands, waiting for his decision, "I cannot talk to you now; I must think." Then, as an afterthought came to 'him, he added, "As I am married to you there are one or two questions I had b,etter ask at once." He spoke with su oh Stinging bitterness that she clasped her hands togeth- er with a look of keen sirffering. " Was there ever any engagement between you and this -this -gentleman, as you I pre- sume, call him? I call him a scoundrel." ng words. Have you been thinking over your near ?" she said abruptly, and then, ling "It seems such a good time for o to go now, does it not ?" he stood facing him, and she felt that had come closer to her while she spoke. w he suddenly, and she thought master- ly, took both her hands. 'I have a better plan than that, my ling. 5 our father is willing to move enever we wish, so that you and I have y to fix the day for your coming home e, my own precious wife." He pressed hands warmly, while Ruth felt every ment more cold and trembling, as she od like a statute, unable to move or even look up. "Sit down, darling," he said. "What tupid fellow I am, to keep you standing er your walk !" Then as he placed him. f beside her on the sofa and slipped his round her waist, he murmured in a tone: ".1 suppose I can hardly think, m so happy. It is such a joy, my eweet 1, to think of your being so soon at rley." he did not draw herself away; she was tong herself for one more effort. "1 really don't think father knows how ak he is, but I know," she said earnest - "To move him now may undo all that has gained ; it would be wrong and selfish run such a risk." If she could have looked into his eyes and iled at him perhaps he raight have aided; but her strained manner, her rvous shrinking from his arm, which still y round her waist, opened. Michael's eyes a glimpse of the truth. There seemed him something behind her words-some- ing more like aversion than the blushing, °cleat timidity ,he had fondly pictured s.0, 104 a. journey would aceount for his leaving his Wife and her father to establith themaelveety the seaside, Michael Olia, ford did not really Value public opinion, bat he had Iiveel the greeter part of his life la a Mall C0411tYY tow; sad he was there- fore well aware of the ravening appetite for gossip in the proviaoial mind. He despieed he had often told his Oster when they two were safe from eaves -droppers that the Purley people likened themselves to pigs by thegreedihees Of their oariosity coneerning their neighborel affair% But in spite or his contempt for this mindless folly, he would not yield a shred of the tragedy that had developed in the plaee of his own expected happiness to the tender mercies of his fel- low townsfolk. e would nob even trust Dr, Buchan, but gravely consulted him about the Suitability of Dolmooth as a tem- porary home for Wit. Bryant till the house in Broad Street should beagain fitted, for habitation. Dr. Buchan looked inquisitive, but Michael's steady gaze overawed even his coolness, The doctor tried to point out that Mrs. Voce could have taken care of Mr. Bryant while Ruth accompanied her husband on the various journeys he had spoken of. "1 thought you told me, Doctor," Michael said gravely, "that my dear old friend has at longest only a few months be- fore him, unless indeed he should gain a great deal more strength before winter ?" Dr. Buchan bent his head. " That is any opinion, my deliberate opinion," he said pompouely ; "bub, my dear sir'I may err. We are all liable to error. Still, I ask myself how will it be with your wife? I understand and. respect your wish not to part her from her father, but how will it be should her father be taken from her during your absence on one of these distant journeys -you --you con- template?" Having said this with more than ordin- ary pomposity, the doctor raised his eye- brows, gave his short nose an upward tilt and pinched up his lips till they looked like a red screw -hole. "1 shall take care to provide against such a. mischance. Supposing that I am out of England, which I hope may not be the Case, I shall arrange for my sister to come and stay with my wife at Dolmouth, or if this house should be finished they will come here." This appareat frankness quieted the doctor's suspicions, and as he recalled the conversation on his way to see another patient he fancied that he himself had sug- gested Dolmouth as beneficial to Philip Bryant, and also as a desirable seclusion for so young and beautiful a wife in the absence of her husband. Michael had resolved not to confide his terrible secret to any one, and he therefore meant to Write his instructions instead of going to Scotland to see Dorothy. He could easily bafffe ordinary curiosity but he shrank from meeting his sister's keen eyes; he knew that he could not hide his sorrow from her sympathetic insight. He remembered her warning; and at the time he had thought her jealous and pre- judiced, and had fancied himielf wise ! Yesterday he resolved before he had rid- den a mile from Appledore that he would not see Ruth again. It was useless, he thought, to expose himself to such a trial; the very sight of her would rob him of all self -,control. He should probably reproach her; he should certainly feel vehemently angry. In smne ways,too, it might be b.etter not to see Philip Bryant; he might suspect that all was not quite as it should be. In everv way it was bettea to write. "Letter-wnting is a blessed invention," he said sadly; " it so helps to soften much that would sound very cruel if it had to be spoken." Clifford gave a wary smile; he admired the doctor's tenacity, but he did not in- tend to reward it He excused it, however, on the ground that every doctor has certain patients to whom a highly -spiced bit of news is far more welcome than a prescrip- tion. But while he thought this, his lips curled at his own weakness; he knew that his just anger against his wife burned as strong as ever. Why, then, did he wish to spare her any of the trial she had brought on her. :? He could not answer the question; he could only tell himself that it was better to keep away from Appledore. This want of directness was so entirely foreign to his nature that he only became still more restless and dissatisfied. He wrote both to Ruth and to Philip Bryant, and went out himself to post the letters. Then he sent for the best builder in Purley, went over the house with him, listened to his opinion and gave instructions that all ehould be done as well, and thoroughly. as possible. He did not urge speed; he did not even name a date by which he wished the alterations to be com- pleted. The next day found him at Dol - mouth; he wished to make sure that the lodgings he had 3hosen for the summer would be suited to an invalid when winter came. As yet Michael did not atteinpt to look forward; he so renoiled from the idea of having to spend his life with a WoMaa who did not love him -a woman who had simply used him as a means of securing a home for her father -that he found it im- possible to look forward to a time when he might be called on to receive his wife in the old house in Broad Street. The owner of the Dolmouth lociging,IVIrs. Rimell, was a woman of forbidding appes.r• mace; her pale, sallow skin'seamed, with wrinkles, was not beautified by the contrast afforded by her cap -a bit ot real old lace, much blueclin thewashing, and surmounted by Li bow and ends of violet satin ribbon. Two long lace cap -strings hung down in front on either side of a lean and very ugly, throat, Her eyebrows, till brown'were drawn together in such a decided frown that Clifford thought she must be angry, while the poor woman was only so nervously consaious of her plainness and awkward- ness that ;the longed to run away and. hide herself. There was, however, a sour ex- pression on her pale, flabby lips that in- dieated a dissa.tisfaction with the world in general, but which to a stranger seemed to be of special application. She amid, how- ever, that the gentleman was welcome to cense in and see her cottage,and Michael thought her, manner of speaking was more educated than either her appearance or her way of receiving an expected visitor. Be- fore he left the cottago'he had decided that the rooms were thoroughly eatiefactory, and that Mrs. Rirnell, was both honest and kincl,though probably, he surmised, not especially easy to live with. He went 'teem and wrote to Dorothy, and he bade her answer his letter in pitis. He said he should nob be home before She received it. He shrugged his shoulder§ as this thought dame on his Way back to the Station. He knew that strangers alwaye liked Philip Bryant ; his Manner WM extremely winning. As for Ruth, well, he had reitolved as far as: possible to banish her from his thought,s it was therefore useless to towline himself that shO Was certain to faiolnate the sour - 'Woking lady. When he Made out a liet of things to be . hile he waited for her; her attitude was rd and unloving, and the hardness seem - every moment to increase. It was increasing. Ruth saw as in a flash at she had been of set purpose trying to t a lie, so that she might free herself from r most unwelcome husband, As she saw she suddenly flung her purpose from her; 10 could not revere to the subject of the rench journey; that was only a, pitiful ibterfuge. Michael took his arm away; rising, he od before her. She dared not look up, t she longed to know whether he was gty with her. To -day ds Monday," he said in a dull, vel tone, as if only the matter in hand as in his mind; "I gathered from che octor that your father might be safely oved next Thursday. Will that day suit our arrangements?' She looked up now. He thought her yes had a wild expression as they strayed und the room. He waited for her to peak; then, as her silence continued, a own settled on his face. "As to that journey to France," he said, a hard voice, "there is nO use in propos- ng it -to one. Is it likely that I could esert you in that way ?" "I thought L was engaged to him; we wrote to one another asif we were engaged, and he came three times to see me, that was all." Her calmness surprised him as she began, but Ruth felt as if she were talking of some one else, the Ruth who had met Reginald Bevington in the "Mill Glen was so far away from her guilty self. Her last words brought back her companion's stern- ness. "All !" he muttered between his clenched teeth. He waited a minute, then, "May I ask you how this intercourse was broken off?" His face .darkened. "Has he seen you since you accepted my proposal !" She raised her head with a momentary return of self-reepect. "I am not so ba i as you think," she said. "The last time he came I -I saw he did not mean to marry me, and I said he must not see me again. It is better that we should never meet, but -but-" (she covered her face with her hands], I can't forget him; I cannot," she sobbed. Michael longed to be face to face with Beviugton, and to horsewhip him as long as he could stand over him. He turned his back on Ruth. .She was, he believed, in- nocent; but it outraged him to see her cry- ing for a man who would have ruined her if had he had the chance; for that was wnat was meant, he thought. He walked up and down the long room, trying to calm him- self, while Ruth stood where he had left her. She felt bound to stay there till she learned whether she was free, or what was going to happen. After a while he stood, still, but he did not go near her. ,"I will see you to.morrow, if I can," he said; if not to-morro*, next day. I must plan out what is to be done; but mind this, not a word of it to your fattier. I shall plan it so that it will seem to be my doing, not yours." He stopped, then he went on more harshly : "It will not be seeming, either ; it is my doing. You had a strange opinion of me if you. thought I would take for rny wife a girawho belongs to another man." She felt that he was unjust ; she had said that all was over between her and Mr. Bevington; but she knew she had so wrong- ed Michael Clifford that she was was will- ing to let him say anything he chose. She had fully deserved his contempt He paused when he reached the door, turned round, and looked at her. "Ib beats belief," he seemed to be talk- ing to himself, "that a creature can look so pure, so true, and yet be so deceitful. You have ruined both our lives, but I will not have your poor father made more un- happy than he must be at leaving his old home. Ile shall not be told the truth. You can say to him that no time is yet settled between us for leaving the place." He bent his head and went out of the room, without any further leave-taking. Her lip quivered, but she did not speak. ichael 1,ef t her and walked away. Such a torm of anger had mastered him that he as ashamed of his own feelihge.

Ruth felt desperate nd reckless; this was her lett chance of scape. She rose and looked at Michael; she flung way any attempt at deceit; she had sud. enly become bold and careless as to what e might think, though she knew that hat she bad to say must irritate him beyond endurance. "You want us to leave Appledore be- muse of the new tenant. Well, then, we an go any day you like ;but not to Purley. You must not ask me to live there with you; I cannot do it; I will not." He stepped forward and grasped her arm. "What do you mean ?" he said sternly. "You will not? You are my wife. What do you rnean, Ruth ?" No one had ever spoken to Ruth, in so masterful a tone ; it roused her spirit to yet more active rebellion. She raieed her head and returned his stern look, but she was far more oonnposed than he was ; she had already gone through this scene in antici- pation, while he was taken by sarprise.

Be re. ----- CHAPTER XXVIII. It was fortunate for Michael Clifford that he had much practical work to accomplish in a short time. He had small opportunity for the consideration of his own feelings. Indeed,had this not been so,l/fichael would have turned from coatemple,tinglhem ; his nature was too strong for indulgence in self-pity. The only indulgence of feeling he now permitted himself was intense iudigtation against young Bevington and against Ruth. With his usual prompt decision he settled on a pls.nwhich would separate him from his wife and yet avoid any open scandal. Ruth and her father should go quietly to the little seaside place where the honeymoon Was to have begun, and he ahould account tot her absence from Purley by the feet of building a couple of additional rooms to his house in Broad Street. He had wished to do this before he married,but the shortness of his engagement had made it impraotio. able. The house was so old that this addl. tion of newt brickwork would probably occasion unhooked for and lengthly repairs to the original fabrie---the longer the better, he thought, for him and for his; shattered hopes. He should not be much in Purley, but he settled, that his office should not be interfered with. There Were several dis- tant journeys he had from time to time been asked to take, among them the talked of expedition to Burgundy---aingularly dla- ttseteful rid*, beettuble it called up a memory o Ruth'S deceit, Ile thought. however, that it would be a good beginning, and the foot of his taking pectedly, examine the surrounding condi- tions, with speoial reference to cleanliness and care in milking, watch the feeding, the cooling of the milk, eta., and then promptly report the facts they obtain to the company on blanks furnished them for the purpose. On some Of the larger farms such dairy maids are permanently located, the company paying the dairymen for their board. "Probably no other city in the world is blessed with so thorough a system of con- trol as regards the quality of milk. And be it noted that it is not done under com- pulsion of law, but as a piece of business enterprise in private hands. The constitu- tion of the company forbids a greater divi- dend than 5 per cent and the price to the consumer is regulated on this basis. It further prohibits the two principal directors from having any financial interest in the company, which might tempt them to work for greater profits. The prices paid to the producer for milk are: From the lst of April to the lst of September about $1.25 per hundred pounds; from this time to Decernber 16, $1.61 per hundred; then to April 1, $1.36 per hundred. This is for the ordinary sweet milk ; milk for children costs more and skim milk less. The com- pany retails this milk from the wagons in the street at the following prices: IYIihk for ohildren, 542 cents per quart; ordinary milk at 41, cents, and skim milk or butter- milk at 2a cents. The cream is sold at 27 cents per quart for first quality and 16a cents for second quality. The cream which is not sold is made into butter, and in like manner the whole, milk which is returned from the wagon is creamed, and the skim milk resulting sold to poor people at half price." A Physician's Odd Bequests. A young medical student at the Police Infirmary in Paris, named Gustave Lefilli- etre, has had a curious communication on the subject of a legacy left to him by a stranger. It was in the form of a letter from a solicitor named Leger, practising at Marines, in the Department of the Seine - et -Oise. The solicitor informed hira that the late Dr. Dubois, a medical man at Chars, had left a will by -which he be- queathed all his surgical and medical ap- pliances, free of legacy duty, to two stu- dents obtaining their degree at the examina- tion next after the decease of the testator. The two stuaents selected were to be those who came out No. 14 and No. 84 in the list. The other lucky man was M. Georges Labey, who was to make an appointment to go with M. Lefilliatre to feteh the pro- perty. At first it was thought that the let- ter was a hoax, en practical jokes are common among medical students, but the two young men went to the place indicated and were there duly presented with an exceptionally fine collection of instruments and accessories of all kinds for division between them. They learned that their 'ming specially chosen was due to the fact that the deceased doctor had twice passed an examination, and that he had on those occasions been No. 14 and No. 84 on the lists. Faithful to the Last. • There is in New Orleans a case which illustrates the love existing between the old-time slaves and their masters, Many years ago there lived in Mississippi a planter by the name of Bradford, who owned many slaves. At the time of the war the planter was killed,and his son, a:wild harum scar= boy,after settling up the estate disappeared. Ten years ago a man was arrested on the streete of New Orleans for drunkenness. He was a repulsive looking object, his face covered with a matted beard and his clothes tattered and torn. At the police station some papers revealed that this tramp was Harry Bradford. The newspapers mention- ed the case and some one told Aunt Hannah his old black mammy, then nearly eighty years of age. She had, a little home of her own,and was still able to make a living as o housekeeper. When she heard that "Master Harry" was in trouble she took her little savings, paid his fine, carried him to her cabin and there for the past ten years she has cated for and oupporteal this wreck of humanity.
