We one morning I came face to face with

Startled by the image ot my sweet wife.
I spuke to the girl, learned her name—
Margery Baw—and not until she had
gone did hope wake in Ines breast, brings
Ing once more the feeling of eager glad-
ness that I thought dead forever.
"I waited a day or two, but quietly
made inquiries, and obtained all the in-
formation I wa..nted; then, having first
tested the truth and honesty of your
nature, I determined to etiolate all to
you, and claim my child; for that she is
ray child thete is no doubt, But happi-
ness was not to be graspedl at once;
again fate was unkind. When I made my
way to the cottage where Margery lived
it was to find her gone—gone across
the sea to Australia. The sudden pain
and disappointment aside, I was myself
p
again. Australia was nothing to nein;
I would start at once, and clasp My
child yet in my arms before I died.
"So, Stuart, I leave this in your hands.
If I succumb, seek out my Margery and
give her her rights. To you I leave all,
for I know you will do as I wish; and
remember she is your cousin. and your
equal. Guard, her, Stuart, from harm,
if- it be in your power, and may Heav-
en bless and reward you for all you
may dol It will be necessary to explain
bow I discovered Margery to be my
child. As I told you, I made most min-
ute inquiries,- learning all particulars
from people both in Chesterham and
Hurstley. I sought for Dr. Scott, the
medical man who had attended during
the railway•accidentt he had left Chest-
erham Many years before, but he re-
membered the incident well, and his des-
cription of the poor dead woman only
tonfirined my hopes and fears. Acting
upon his advice, I went to Newton, and
by dint of money and able men traced
my darling's life during two long years
of misery. The story of her sufferings,
of her (tatty toil, her heart -broken life,
canna dwell on. Heaven grant you
may never know the terrible agony of
hopeless remorse and longing that I am
now enduring! Despair seizes me ;when
I remember my madness, her wrong—
my angel -wife! Even the joy of finding
miachild can bring Inc peace. The hap-
piness I experienced in the knowledge
of her existence is tinged with never -
dying bitterness and sorra*, for she re•
ealls her mother.
"But I_ weary you with my moans,
Stuart; let me eet on with my story.

to her other troubles, the hardship of

employment, with little success, how-
ever; from time tri time she managed
to make money by teaching, but this
never for long. Still. through all her
trials her courage never forsook her;
she lived for her child, I have spoken
with setae who knew her in those days;
they dwelt on her .sadneee, her sweet-
ness. her innate refinerne.nt, little know-
ing how their words rent my heart. It
woulde be ageless to describe the hope-
lessness, the misery of her life; she
parted with all her jewelry, and at last
in desperation answered an advertise-
ment for a situation as maid.

Margery was strangely *Meted when

was dead. She (Mulct not henieli from
her mind the thought that in some way
her presence had caused him distress.
Tbe earl saw her pained face, and im•
iiirdiately determined to put ail business
Wain aside and take his wife down to
Court Manor. So, on the afternoon fol.
lowing her visit to the late baronet,
Margery wadi carried away front .London
to her new home.
When she arrived it was too dark for
her to see her surroundings; but the
pure frealtuese of the country air, the
silence after the beetle and noise of the
London streets, the faint eoughing of the
kind. in the trees, brought a thrill of
peace and gladness to her. and KS she
stood at the low, wide doer and, gazed
around th4 quaint, rambling hall she
loeked so pleased and' comforted that
the earl% heart rejoiced. It was a de-
lightful, oId-world place. The corners
and crevices, the rooms filled with ser-
viceable furniture of no modern date, the
eaten of the flowers, the glow ot the fire-
light—all seemed to speak of home. It
was a haven of reet and quiet after the
storm of the past few months. And if at
night this feeling came, it was even
:stronger in the morning. As she drew
her curtains aside and looked out over
the wide vista of country Margery gave
a little sigh of relief. Here she bad noth-
ing to fear, nothing to remind her of the
past; here it would be easy to forget
and grow content,

home ceased 'when he saw the glow of
hope, love and, happiness on his wife's
delicate, lovely face and he pictured to
himself a future alArightness and glad-
ness. In both their hearts, as they en-
tered the house, the same memory lived
--the memory of Lady Enid. Margery
sent up a little prayer to Heaven that
she might prove grateful to the man
wbose heart seas so tender and true,
whoie sufferings had been so great, and
he mutely thanked his angel-sieter that
ere she went she bequeathed, so great a
treasure to him as Margery.
His whole being. was so impreguated
with his great love that he had failed to
discover the true cause of tfargerytt
passive gentleness. It was trete he did
not think her heart held au deep a love
as his own; but she was young, the mar-
riage was hurried, love must have time
to grow. In time his great devotion
must reap its reward. The liking she
now had would ebange to love. He must
be patient and wait. So he reasoned In
his happiness, dwelling with a thrill of:
J0 y on the metnory that Margery had
neither relatives nor friends. This girl,
the stereof his life, had none but him to
tend her, none but him to whom, she
could turn. The pleasure that Margery
showed in her new home struck the final
chord of happiness in his heart.
The girl found much to occupy lier in
her new position, and tier lovely faee
and kind words soon won the servants'
hearts, already disposed to .love her fOr
-her gracious influence over their nitieter.
It was about the end of the week that
Margery learned, accidentally from her
husband that he had neglected hie imsi-
ness in town on purpose to bring her
away, and, without a moment's hesita-
tion, she begged him to return and com-
plete his arrangements. The earl demur-
red, but at last, satisfied tient she would
not be lonely, he agreed, and depart( d,
leaving many tender injunctions with
her to take great eare of herself in his
absence. •
The, young wife felt a pang of re -
melee at the relief and pleasure she ex-
perienced when quite alone. She strug-
gled hard with herself day and night;
but to forget was so hard, and to re-
member so easy. Though she was sur-
rounded by all that the world holds dear.
she found no eatisfaction in her wealth;
her mind was lost to the present—it
would persistently wander to the past—
that past which, despite its pain and
humiliation, was so sweet. The return
to the country had hieing:lit beet: so
much that was linked with her brief
love -dream that the struggle seemed to
grew greater day by day.

then turned into a small room that she
had chosen tot' her boudoir. She gave
the order for the carriage to be sent
to meet the earl, and then sunk down
before the fire, resting her head on a
low velvet chair. She wore a heavy
mourning robe, simple yet Natty, and
her delicate face and throat gleamed
with so dark a setting. She was alter-
ed front the Margery of the summer,'
yet her face was only a child's face..
Her youth, the purity of her counten-

her mistress some tea, served in fragile

"Alt, milord is to 'return!" she deeidea,

Margery sat an before the fire. The
tea had revived her, yet he (seemed
strangely agitated as the time drew
near for her husband's arrival. A vague
sense of approaching trouble had come
over her, and she put her hand to her
heart to try to stay its quick, horried
beat. She had been thinking so deeply
that her nerves were unstrung. The
solitude had tried her, site tokl herself;
yet, even as she whispered this, her
heart bekan to flutter again, It was a
strange, incomprehensible feeling, a feel-
ing she had never experienced before,
a.nd she longed for, yet dreaded, her
husband's return.
At last the sound of wheels daught
her ear, and she rose from her seat.
"I will be firm—I must forget!" she
whiepered, "My love, good-bye, good-
bye!"
Then she heard the sound of voices
In the hall and knew that her husband
was close at hand. She turned to greet
him as the door opened, and in the dim
light she sawi two men eater.
"Margery, my wife!" said Nugent's
grave, tender voice; and his lips touched
hers. '
His companion not coming forward,
the earl, still holding Margery% hand,
looked around,
"I have brought a friend home, darl-
ing. It is only a flying visit, as he is
off to Australia; but I persuaded him
to come for a few days. There will be a
bond of. friendship between you through
poor Gerant Crosbie, let me introduce
you to the Countess of Court,"
The stranger moved forward mechan-
ically into the light. Margereas hand
grasped her husband's. She raised ,her
eyes, and, with a sudden agony of pain,
saw her lover, Stuart, before her.
She tried to offer her hand, but the
effect was too much. .A. mist dimmed
her vision, her brain reeled, and she fell
to the ground, pale and unconscious, at
her husband'e feet.
Pauline rushed in as the bell rang
loudly. She pushed aside the earl-. as,

wife, never noticing that Stuart, Crosbie

CHAPTER XXVI.
At *midnight, while the clouds .were
drivea across the moon by the wind,
Stuart Crosbie sat in his chamber at
Court•Manor, las arms folded, his head
bent dejectedly upon his breast. He
was stunned by the strange events of
the past day. He could never tell how
he had borne himself through the long
evening, though every incident was grav-
en on his hetat forever. He could not
grasp the meaning of what had taken
place. He met the earl at his club,
having a little time to spare before the
vessel galled, and Ite acceptedLord
Court's invitation. with a vague feeling
that he should aiseape the reproaches,

METERS ON ELECTRIC CARS.
The use of meters on electric cars,
states Eleettical Industries, has now
become the rule rather than the ex-
ception, and within the next year
or two the meterless ear will be al-
most a curiosity. Testimony to the
value of the watt-hour meter con-
tinues -to accumulate at 'a most grati-
fying tate, for three out of every four
cars are fitted with meters on the
watt-hour principle. The long con-
troversy between the two types of
meters may therefore lie regarded
as practieally eettled by an over.
whelming majority.

"OLD MORTALITY."
Through the genius of Sir Walter
Slott, the name of "Old :Mortality" is
known far beyond the bounds of amt. •
land, and everyone who as heard of the ...
persecuted Covenanters are • jauntier
with his real name. There are few
churchyards in Galloway, especially in
the county of Wigtown, where his hand-
iwork allay not still be seen.
A native of Dumfries, James Patter-
son, was by trade a storm rus.son, but for
the greater part of life he exercised
his craft without fee or payment,
Hie absorbing passion for the Coven-'
,
linters led him to give up home and ft -
friends, and to wander for forty years
ever the wild moon, in the lonely glens,
ea from churchyard to, churchyard, to
ereet a stone wherever a martyr of the
covenant lay.
A sineere devotion led this venerable
renovator of tombs- to dedicate so many
years of his existence to perrorm this
tribute to the memory of these suffer-
ing people. Wherever a grave existed
"Old Mortality" was sure to be seen bus-
ily at work, Tient Cn h's pious task, with
his ehisel and mallet. and his' old while
pony geeing by his side.
