and he chafed her icy hands and bath-
ed her fare until the eyes unclosed
again, but with a shudder turned
away as t liey met his. Then, as she
grew stronger and remembered the
past, she started up, exclaiming: "If
(lenevra Lambert is your wife, what
then tum 1? Oh, Wilford, how could
you make me not a wife, when I
trusted and loved eOtt so much?"
Tie knew she was laboring under a
mistake. and he did not wonder at
the violence of her emotions if she
belies eel he had wroeged her so cruel-
ly, and coming neater to her he Said:
"(lenevra Laumbert was my wife once

'By mentiouiug Silverton, he hoped
to bring hack something of her old-
en look, in place of the expression
which troubled and frightened him.
The experiment was successful, and
great tears gathered in Katy's eyes,
washing out the wild, unnatural
gleam, while the lips whispered: "And
it was her picture Juno saw. She
told me the night I came, and I tried
•to question you. You remember?"
Wilford did remember it, and he re -

Wh Ita'd did not like to he censured,

s• if, and now that Katy was out of
Mower and romtt!rtratively calm, he
began to build utniut himself' a fort-

her the secret of his life.
"'When slid you hear of Genevra?"

heard the story, and then added:
"Oh, Wilford, why did you keep it

Katy
was sobbing
now, ov

a moan-
ing. plaintive way, which touched
Wilford tenderly, and smoothing her
tangled hair, he said: "I would not

vas in the world. She was never as
dear to me as you. I was but a boy,
and slid not know my mind, when I
met her. Shall I tell you about her
now? Can you bear to hear the
story of Genevra?"
There was a nod of assent, and
Katy turned her face to the wall,
clasping her hands tightly together,
While Wilford drew his chair to her
side and began to read the page he
should have read to her long before.
CIIAI'TER au7CXIII.
I was little more titan nineteen
years of age when I left Harvard Col-
lege and went abroad with my only
brother, the John or Jack of whom
you have so often heard. Both him-
self and wife were in delicate health,
anti it was hoped a voyage across
the sett would do them good. For
nearly a Year we were in various
Tarts of England, stopping for two
months at Brighton, where, among.
•the visitors. was a widow from the
vicieity of Ahywick, and with her an
or. bun niece,` whose dazzling; beauty
ut Itactetl my youthful fancy. t he
was not happy with her aunt, u„an
whom she was wholly dependent, duel
my sympathies were al enlis ed,
when, with the tears shining in her
lustrous eyes, she one day accid('nt-
ally st,lnlhled upon her t•ouble end
told enc how wretched she was, n:elc-
lng if in An to ice there was t of
something for her to do.
"It was at this time tll(lt than le
was horn, and Mary, the girl who
went out with us, was married to en
Englishmen, making it necessary for
natty to fine some one to take her
place. Hearing of this, Genevra came
one clay, and offered herself as half
companion, half waiting -maid to "Tat-
ty. Anything was preferable to the
life she led, she said, pleading so
hard that natty, after an interview
with the old aunt -a purse -proud,
vulgar woman, who seemed glad to
be rid of her charge -consented to re-
ceive her, and Genevra became one
of our family, an equal rather than
a menial, whom Batty treated with
as much consideration as if she had
been a sister. I wish I could tell you
how beautiful Genevra Lambert was
at that period of her life, with her
brilliant English complexion her
eyes so full of poetry and passion,
her perfect features, and, more than
all, the wondrous Smile, which would
have made a plain face handsome.

of a base fellow, who, since she was
u tfor his wife,
a child,had sought t her
and still pursued ued her with his let-
ters, toy passions were roused, and I
offered myself at once. Her answer
was a decided refusal. She knew her
position, she said, and she knew
mine, just as she knew the nature of
the feeling which prompted me tri
art thus toward her. Although just
my age, she was older in judgment
and experience, and She seemed tO
understand the difference between our
relative positions. I was not indif-
ferent to her, she said, dnd were she

wise than the decided no.

"it was evident that my brother
would never see America again, and
at his request my mother came to us,
in company with a family 'from Bos-
ton, reaching u5 two weeks before he
died. From the first she disliked
Genevra, autl suspected the liking be-
tweenus butnever • dr amid of the
ne u e t o
truth until a week afterg Jack's
death, when in a fit of anger at Gena
evra for listening to an English art-
ist, who had asked to paint her pic-
ture, the story of the marriage came
out, and like a child dependent on its
mother for advice, I asked: 'What
shall I do?'
"You know mother, and can in
part understand how she -would scorn
a girl who, though horn to better
things, was still found in the capac-
ity of a waiting -maid. Sister Hat-
ty, who loved Genevra, did all she
could to heal the growing difference
between us, but I trusted mother
most. I believed that wheat she said
was right, and so matters grew
worse, until one night, the last re
spent in Rome, I missed Genevra
from our rooms, and starting in
quest of her, found her In a little
flower garden back of our dwelling.
There, tinder the deep shadow of a
tree, and partly concealed from view,
she stood with her arm around the
neck of the same rough -looking man
who had been there before. She did
not see me as I watched her while
she parted with hien, suffering him to
kiss her hand and forehead as he
said, 'Good-bye, my darling.'
"In a tremor of auger and excite-
ment :t quitted the spot, my mind
wholly made up with regard to my
future. That, there was something
wrong about Genevra I did not doubt
and I would not give her a chance to
explain by telling her what I had
seen, but sent her back to England,
r giving her ample means for defraying
the expenses of her journey and lot
living in comfort after her arrival
there, Front Rome we went to Nat
,Tiles, and then to Switzerland, where
natty died, -leaving us alone with
little •Tnmie. It was at Berne that I
received an anonymous letter from
England, the writer stating that Gen.
evra was with her aunt, that the
whole had ended as he thought it
would, that he could readily guess at
the nature of the trouble, and hint-
ing that if a divorce was desirable
on my return to England, all neces-
sary proof could be obtained by ap-
plying to such a number in London,
the writer announcing himself a
brother of the man who had once
sought Genevra, and saying he had
always opposed the match, knowing
Geuevra's family. ,
"This was the first time the idea
of a divorce had entered my Mind,
and I shrank from a final separation.
But mother felt differently. It was
not a new thought to her,- knowing
as site did that the validity of a
Scotch marriage, such as ours, was
frequently contested in the English
courts. Once free front Genevra

world this side the water would net•-
Or know of that mistake, and she set
herself steadily to accomplish her
purpose. To tell you all that fol-
lowed our return to England, and the
steps by which I Was brought to sue
for a divorce, would make my story
too long, and •so I will only state

obtained, Genevra putting in no de-

settling down into an apathy from
which nothing had power to rouse
her until the news of her freedom
from enc was carried to her, when
amid a paroxysm of tears and sobs,
she wrote me a fest lines, assuring
me of her Innocence, refusing to send
back her Wedding ring, and saying
God would not forgive me for the
great wrong I had done her. I SAW
her once after that by appointment,
and lior face haunted me fdr years,
for, ICaty, Genevra was innocent, as
I found after the tinge meas past when
reparation could be made."
Wilford's voice trembled, and for a
moment there was a silence in the
room, while he composed himself to
go on with the story:
"She Would not live with me again

having wronged her and asked haw I
could make amends.
' • 'You cannot,' the old man said,
'except. iu one way, and that she
does not desire. I did not come here
with any w•itth for you to take her
for your wife again. It was an un-
equal match which never should have
been; but if yeti believe her innocent,
she will be satisfied. She wanted you
to know it -I wanted you to know
it, and so I crossed the sea to find
you.'
"The next I heard of her was in
the columns of an English newspaper
which told me she was dead, while in
another place a pencil murk was
lightly traced around a paragraph,
which said that 'a forger, 'Phomas
Lambert, who escaped years ago and
was supposed to he dead, had recent-
ly reappeared in Enghtncl, where he
was recognized, but not arrested, for
the illness which proved fatal. Ile
was attended,' the paper said, ' by
his daughter, a beautiful girl, whose
modest mien anti gentle nuuuuer had
done much towards keeping the offic-
ers Of justice from her dying father,
no one being able to withstand her
pleadings that her father might die
e 6
in peace.'
"I was grateful for this tribute to
Genevra, for I felt that it was de-
served: and I turned again to the no-
tice of her death, which must have
occurred within tt short time of her
father's, and was probably induced by
past troubles and recent anxiety for
hint. •
"Genevra Lambert' died at. Alnwick,
aged 3_^. There could be mo mistake,
and with a tear to the memory of
the dead whole I had loved and in-
juired; I burned the raper, feeling
that now there was no clue to the
secret I was as anxious to Preserve
as was my mother.
"And n so the years wore on till I
met and married you, withholding
from you [that yours was not the first
love which had stirred my heart. I
meant to tell you, Katy, but I could
not for the great fear of losing you
if you knew all. Anti then an error
concealed so long is hard to be con-
fessed. I took you across the sea to
Brighton, where I first met Genevra,
and then to Aluwick, seeking out the
grave which made assurance doubly
sure. It was natural that I should
make some inquiries concerning her
last'tlays; I questioned the old sexton
who wits at work near by. Calling
his attention to the name, I said it
was an uncommon one and asked if
lie knew the girl.
" 'Not by sight, leo,' he said. 'She
was only here a tett days before she
died. I've heard she was very win-
some and that there was a scandal
of some kind mixed up with her.'
"I would not ask him any more;
and without any wrong to you, I
confess that my tears dropped upon
the turf under which I knew Genevra
lay."
"I am glad they did; I should hate
you if you had not cried," Katy ex-
claimed, her voice more natural than
it had been since the great shock
cane.
"Do you forgive me, Katy? Do
you love me as well as ever?" Wil-
ford asked, stooping down to kiss,
her, butt Katy drew her face away
ail would not answer then.
She did not know herself how she
felt towards him. no did not seem
jutst like the husband she had trust-
ed hi so blindly. Again he asked
forgiveness, and bent down to kiss
her, but Katy answered: "Not yet,
Wilford, not till I feel all right to-
wards you. A wife's kiss should be
sincere."
"As you like," trembled on Wil -
ford's lips, but he beat back. the
words and walked up and down the
room, knokeiug now that his journey
must be deferred till morning, and

But Majority of Savage Tribes Con
sider Women's Influence Defiling.
The prevailing opinion among sav-
age or heathen tribes ie that women,
by :ansa subtle influence, mar or de-
file the work and in many eases, even
ii•' pnesrssinns of the men, therefore
there is an unwritten law among
certain primitive people's that women
mnct keep away from everything that
beta me% to tit'' men's sphere of ac -
tam. The Kaffir,, for instance, have
511011 strong feeling, in this matter •
that they will not even allow their
women to Come into their kraals for
fear of contaminating the cattle.
In the Reredoses Islards the wo-
men do most of the work, while the
men spend their time making canoes.
The women: never ttnieh them, nor
are they allowed to ride. in them for
fenr of casting an evi' spell. In New
Caledonia it is considered unmanly
for men to do any work. They believe
thief. is woman's natural sphere.
While the Samoans attend to the
farmine-such as it is -and the hunt-
ing, all other work is left to the wo-
men. However large the family. and
however much they need clothes, a
Samoan would rather see his children
suffer from the cold than to help his
wife do the weaving. It is considered
a degradation for a man to engage in
any such work.
Then men of British Guiana (mu-
shier their work limit:d to hunting
and war. They consider the greatest
1ir,niliation any lean can suffer is to
help his wife with her work. The
story is told that on nate certain oc-
casion then' was a shm•tage of bread.
The men had to help the women
hike, but they were only forced to
tlri? when starvation stared then, in
the face. and those who eons••nted
were ever after called old women.
Th? Motus believe that if they see
the women while starting out to fish
or hunt, their work is sure to result
in failure. in selene South American
tribes ill' men believe that if the
women even look en their weapons
they Lusa their strength. The Austra-
lian tribss an 1 hij•ane drive their
women away and beat tl'ent if they
ace them near any et their public
