In pity, iTare me; It is ree bitterly hard to resist my own heart and—you!' "Then why resist?" came the tempter's softeet whisper in her ear; and the clasp that had loosened a little drew close again. "My beautiful one, my heart's dettrest, yield, theul"--be freed one hand to raise her face, gazing down into lier eyea with the look that rattle the woman loved ever sees in a man's eyes—"yield, then, to me, wifel" Had, his power triumphed, that she held her very breath? In that moment of fierce temptation arid stoouized self - strife, the woman's 'mart failed her— her very love was at once ber weakness aud her strength. For one second the wife had almost yielded the battle; in the next she had flung her arms closely about her husband's neck. "Heaven help xnel 1 dare not — for your dear sake!" She was suddenly shaken from head to foot with it tempest of convulsive sate'and clung to hint as if in wild ter- ror he would east her from him in an outburst of pitiless auger, such as pos. Ably she had once or twice experienced of old; but, if ever she had, it came not now. All that was beat in et, Maur's strong, impressionable nature was rowed. and for the time—though only for the time --he gave back from this point—van- quished! His deepest hive was stirred to the core'and he folded the slender, quiver- ing form yet closer to his breast, and strove, with tenderest caresses and en - (leering words, to soothe and calm the ter hhint..estwhich had indeed almost startl- e . "Let the question Test at'present, my own darling!" hewhispered, at last, as, quite still and exhausted, she leti him place her on the falleo bough beside hint, still and exhausted, she let him place her on the fallen bough beside him, stIll within his sheltering arm. "Only one thing I will ask now—one promise which you will surely not 'refuse your hus- band." "I will refuse nothing I can possibly grant, dear Falconer!" The low, sweet yoke was unsteady yet. "What is the promise?' "That you will sometimemeet me in secret," he said, caressingly, stroking the soft, curling locks. "You start, but we must --oh, Christine, we must! There is so much yet to say, to learn; meet- ing in society • is but the stone for bread. Your own heart must plead for mine in this dear one promise." "1 prounse, Falconer!" There Was it flash of triumph as well as joy in St. Maur's handsome eyes as he stooped and kissed the lips that had so pledged him. "Dearest—thanks! When do you go back to town, then?" "3 think on Saturday. We can: not meet again down here, Falconer. I could not .escape—toiday was a mere chance; and now I must be returning." Bt. Maur'e brow darkened as he rose; but it cleared again as Christine laid her hand on his lips, half smiling. "No, no, husband—no word or frown of jealousy! Tell inc your address, for Wo ean write; only you must write in a disguised hand if you are likely to know the Cliffords." "I shall. I mean' to do so through the Addisons," was the answet. "I shall leave here to -morrow, then, since I may not see you again. I elm take y.ou part of the way bask now, but we must say our farewell here, so, my- darling --my recovered treasure!" Once more a close 'embrace; a long, lingering kiss, and they turned together from the wood wherein, after long years they had been so strangely re- unitea—yet parted etill! .CHAPTER IX. Yes, for the time—and only for the time—had St. Maur given way, appar- ently vanquished; but he never for a moment dreamed of really yielding, or that his young wife would be able for long to resist him; he had gained one great vantage ground, he thought—op- portunity. She had promised to meet hint secret- ly—not ono, but malty time, and in that concession had she not surely sounded the note of her own defeat and final surrender at discretion to hie will, as she had done eight years ago; only then his victory over the mere girl had been literally vent, vidi, viei."
