ing ruined by a husband. My fortune
was wholly at my own disposal, but I
was willing to make the surrender in

"I am glad to find you will be so well
off," said Mr. Sinclair, still engrossed
by the pattern of the carpet.
Is that all you have to say?"
"What more ean I say upon the sub-
ject?"
There was a time when you would
have said a great deal more."
"Very likely," answered Gilbert,
bluntly; "hut then, you see, that time
is past and gone. What is it Friar
Bacon's brazen head said, 'Time is,
time was, time's past?' Come, Clara,
it is very little use for you and me to
play at cross-purposes. Why did you
send for me in such hot haste to tell
me of your husband's death?"
"Because I had reason to consider the
news would be as welcome to you as
it was to me."
"That might leave been so if the event
had happened a year or two ago; un-
happily your release comes too late for
my welfare. You accused me the oth-
er day of intending to jilt you. I think
that was scarcely fair when it is remem-
bered how long I was contented to -re-
main your devoted slave, patiently wait-
ing for something better than slav-
ery. There is a limit to all, things,
however, and 1 , confess the bondage be-
came a little irksome at last, and I be-
gan to look in other directions for the
happiness of my future life."
'Does that mean that you are going
to be married?"
. "It does."
"The lady is Miss Clanyarde, I con-
clude," said Mrs. Walsingham. Her
breathing was a little hurried, but
wife before this, and she had put him
off with an answer that was almost
a refusal. Then had -come the scold -
something to do with` her coesent to
become his wife. He was not the less
resolved on this account to hold her
ing and lecturing, and she had been to her promise ; but his selfish, tyran-
sehooled into resignation to a fate that nice} nature resented her coldness, and
seemed to her irresistible. She told her he was determined that the balance
suitor that she did not love him—that should be adjusted between them in the
if she accepted him it would be in def-
erence to her father's wishes, and that
she could give him nothing better than
duty and gratitude in return for the
affection he was so good as to enter-
tain for her. This was enough for
Gilbert, who was bent un winning her
for his wife, in a headstrong, reckless
spirit, that made no count of the cost.
But as Miss Clanyarde sat by and by
with her hand in his, and listened to
his protestations of affection, there rose
before her the vision of a face that was
not Gilbert Sinclair's—a darkly splen-
did face, that had looked upon her with
such unutterable love one summer day
in the shadowy Kentish lane; and she
wished that Cyprian Davenant had car-
ried her off to some strange, desolate
land, in which they might have lived
and died together.
"What will he think of me when he
hears that I have sold myself to this
man for the sake of his fortune?" she
asked herself, and then she looked up
at Gilbert's face and wondered whe-
ther she could ever teach herself to
love him, or to be grateful to him for
his love.
A11 this had happened within a week
of Gilbert's final interview with Mrs.
Walsingham, ancl'in a very short time
the fact of Mr. Sinclair's engagement
to Miss Clanyarde •was pretty well
known to all that gentleman's friends
and acquaintances. He was very proud
of carrying off a girl whose beauty
had made a considerable sensation in
the two past seasons, and he talked of
his matrimonial projects in a swag-
gering, boastful way that was eminent-
ly distasteful to some of his acquain-
tances. Men who were familiar with
Mr. Sinclair's antecedents shrugged
their shoulders ominously when his mar -
future.
' Perhaps you don't like this place,
Constance," he said, presently, after
watching, her thoughtful face for some
minutes in silence.
" Oh, yes, Gilbert, I am very fond of
Davenant. I have known it all my life,
you know."
" Then I wish you'd look a little
more cheerful about my intended pur-
chase. I though it would please you
to have a country -house so near your
own family."
" And it does please her very much,
I am sure, Sinclair," said Lord Clan-
yarde, with a stealthy frown at his
daughter. "She can't fail to appreci-
ate the kindness and delicacy of your
choice."
Papa is quite right, Gilbert," add-
ed -Constance. "I should be very un-
grateful if I were not pleased with your
kindness."
After this she tried her utmost to
sustain an appearance of interest in the
discussion of furniture and decorations;
but every now and then she found her
mind wandering away to the banished
owner of those rooms, and she wished
that Gilbert Sinclair had chosen any
other habitation upon this earth for her
future home.
October came, and with it the in-
evitable day which was to witness one
more perjury from the lips of a bride.
The wedding took place at the little
village church near Marohbrook, and
was altogether a very brilliant affair,
attended by all ,the relatives of the
Clanyarde family, who were numerous,
and by a great many acquaintances of
bride and bridegroom. Notable among
the friends of the latter was ,lames
'Wyatt, the solicitor who had been em-
