THE WORON EXPOSITOR,
ACROSS HER PATH.
BY ANNIE S. SWAN.
• CHAPTER XII.
(Continued from last week.)
He bent his hea& from his tall height
and took the slender, white hand in his
own. Does it seem strange to you that
the heart of Adrian Severne warmed -to
this woman as it never did towards his
mother or sister ? The ladies of the
house of Severne ha& what emotions they
possessed well under control, and never
suffered any exhibition of feeling at any
time. Very often Adrian Severne felt
chilled and frozen in his dreary home,
and in his need turned always to Lady
Bassett, who had 'loved him since the
days when he came, a little hid, to spend
his holidays at Bassett Royal.
" Can nothing be done to remove this
headache business ?" he asked in the im-
petuous, boyish way which lingered with
him still, and which was a chief charm
in the eyes of Lady Bassett. "Frances
complains sometimes, but her headache
does not blanch her face like this."
"It is constitutional, my boy, and
admits of no cure. Come, sit down and
tell me something fresh from the outside
- world. Have you come to get a cup of
strength for the warfare on Monday
night?"
"1 have come to get a cup of strength,
indeed, Lady Bassett," said Adrian,
"but not for that contest. I want your
advice, your sympathy, and your help
in a matter which lies very near to my
heart."
He spoke earnestly, and as if under
the influence of deep emotion, and he
began to pace reatlessly up and down
the room. Straight as an arrow Lady
Bassett's thoughts flew to Barbara. She
had dreaded something of the kind, and
though she had taken care that the two
• should never meet under her roof -tree,
what guarantee could she have that they
had not met times innumerable else-
where ?'
"Sit clown, Adrian," she said, some-
what wearily, "and tell me what this
weighty :natter is. If I can advise or
help I shall do so very gladly, you know."
She did not say, " sympathise," and
Adrian was quick to note the omission.,
He paused in front of her sofa, and
looked down at her, his blue eyes smil-
ing a little, though there was trouble in
their deepest depths.
"Lady Bassett, you are a woman, and
one of keener perception than most
women. Do I need to tell you what I
have come to speak'to you about ?"
She looked at him searchingly a mo-
ment, and admired the manliness which
could meet her scrutiny so unflinchingly.
He was not ashamed. of his errand, what-
ever it might be.
"I wish I did not know so well,
Adrian," she said. "Sit down here
where I can see your face, and let us talk
the matter over.
Adrian sat down, and bending a little
towards her said somewhat quickly—
"1 see you do not approve. You
have always said that my wife would be
as clear to you as my unworthy self.
Surely, though I make a marriage with
which the world has no sympathy you
will not turn against me, my friend ?'
Tears started to the eyes of Lady
Bassett. She loved him beyond any
earthly thing, he was as dear to her as
if he had been her own son, and his
words touched her heart,
" One word, Adrian. Have you spoken
to Barbara ?"
"1 have not; I preferred to speak to
you, first, because I feel that I owe it to
you," he answered. "But I intend to
go to Egbert Street today:"
That also touched her. It was a
tribute as sweet as it was unexpected.
"Adrian, have you weighed this
matter well? Have you looked at it in
all ways? Are y9u willing to bear op-
position, coldness, estrangement, per-
haps, from your kindred, for the sake of
Barbara ?" she asked.
A smile flitted across the face of
Adrian Severne.
1` I love her as a man loves the woman
he would make his wife, Lady Bassett.
You have been a wife, and you know
what that means," he answered gravely,
Ay, she knew, none better, and her
opposition began to melt away in her
mind. ,
"1 do not approve of unequal mar-
riages, Adrian. They may turn out
happily, but the chances are against it."
Adrian was silent, and after a mo-
ment's hesitation, she continued—
"1 love her, as you know, and admire
her more than any woman of my acquain-
tance; but, Adrian, I question very
much if she would make you happy."
"What mikes you doubt it ?'
"1 don't expect you to believe what I
am saying, Adrian, because you are
young and very much in love," she said,
with a gleam of humor; "and I am old
and of a clearer vision than you. Be-
sides, I am a woman, and can read other
women as you cannot do. - She has lived
too much within- herself, Adrian, and
her nature is not an unselfish one. I
fear she could not love you as you de-
serve to be loved."
, Adrian Severne turned his face away
a moment. She probed very deep.
" Do you think she cares for you,
Adrian ?
"I do think so."
Lady Bassett kept the thought un-
spoken. She had watcheclBarbara close-
ly during the past two months, and her
opinion differed from Adrian's.
"Do your mother and sister suspect
this,
Adrian ?"
"I cannot say. I marry to please
myself, Lady Bassett," said Adrian,
somewhat impatiently.
"Naturally ; but your nearest kindred
demand a little consideration. They
will be very angry, Adrian."
" I know it."
"She is a brave woman who will face
the haughty ire of the Ladies Severne."
"Lady Bassett, this is all to no pur-
pose. Do you suppose I don't know all
these things better than you can tell
me ?" exclaimed Adrian, rising to his
feet and resuming his restless walk. "I
came to you to talk about her, not about,
what other people will say of my mar-
riage. The world's opinion is of less ac-
count to me than the dust beneath my
feet."
" Very well, we will talk of her," said
Lady Bassett, drily. "How long have
you known her, Adrian ?"
"Love is not measured by days, Lady
Bassett. Do you remember your assem-
bly of the 29th of Nlarch ?"
"1 have reason to rentember it,
Adrian "
"Well, when you introduced me to
Barbara Ogilvie that night you forged
the first link in the chain of my destiny.
When 1 looked on her face 1 knew that
it was the face of my wife. Such flashes

of inspiration o come to us even in this
prosaic nineteenth century. I have seen
her many times since then, and now the
time has come for me to speak. My
very soul cleavles to her; Lady Bassett,
and I cannot face the pessibility. of a re-
fusal from her lips."
"Come hero, Adrian."
The ichange in Lady 1 Bassett's voice
was so Marked that involuntarily Adrian

lifted one han1 to his tall shoulder and
raised,her tender eyes t his face.
" It was prtidence wh ch spoke in me
before', but my heart pleads for you, and
will not be stilled. GO, my boy, and
take the wife heaven has ordained for
you, and may God bless you both."
So, with that benediction ringing in
his ears, Adrilin Severn e betook himself
hopefiilly to Egbert Street, Holborn.
Miss_Ogilvie was at home, and in her
study, The little maid Showed him into
the drawing-rOom, and went to tell her
mistress. Tho place was not strange to
Adrian Severne; never4theless he look-
ed p.t his surrOundings ith considerable
interest. She spent much of her time
there.On the table lay a book, open
where she had been reading last. He
lifted lit and read its title: It was the
poems of Matthew Arnold. While he
was turning over its pages the door
opened, and there camel the soft rustle
of a dress in the room. I
"How do you do, Sit Adrian? I am
inclined to quarrel with you for inter-
rupting me," Said Barbara's sweet voice.
"1 have beenl particulairly lazy to -day,
but the cool Of the afternoon roused my
sluggish energies, and It was successfully
rescuing my heroine from an uncomfort-
able situatio*when Patty brought your
name."
Her self -p ssession put him at his
ease for a nioment, b

what was passing in hi
t Barbara was
w something of
mind. Yet she
must seem unconscious of it • so, to aid
her, she lifted the book he had laid down
at her entranpe, and nnide some trivial
rematk concerning it.
He did not answer lt, but kept his
eyes fixed upon her placid. face with a
penetrating gaze, which threatened to
banish her self-possession.
," Londonis very inSufferable during
these sultry clays, she said, going to
the Window and looking out into the
dusty street "1 am thinking of run-
ning away to the sea -side by-and-by.
Youe Parliamentary duties will keep you
in totvn for some time yet, I fancy."
She turned inquiringly towards him
as she spoke,, and beneath his gaze her
eyes fell. Knowing that she guessed
what was coining, he took a step towards
her, and spoke in words brief,, earnest
and impassioned, as all true love -words
are. ' ,
"Barbara„ I have rine to -day to eseek
my Wife. Have I found her ?” ,
A great wave of crimson swept across
her face, and she put up her hand4ts if
to keep something away from her.. For
a moment there Was an intense silence,
then Barbara lifted her head and looked
at him with unfaltering eyes.
"1)o I hear you right?aAre you
asking me to be your wife, Sir Adrian
Severne ?" .
Her coolness told upon him, and fold-
ing his arms, he answered, briefly and
almost sternly—
" I am."
"It is a great surprise. I did not
dream that you would stoop to such as.
I," she said, almost piteously. "Have
you considered it well have you count-
ed the cost ?"
"All these are matters foreign to the
main question, Barba a, which is simply
do you caro for me ufficiently to give
yourself to me. I have never loved a
woman before, and neer will again."
She turned away frOm him a moment,
and there was silence again.
"Will you listen to me a few min-
utes ?" Sir Adrian.
"Before you answer me ?"
" Yes."
"1 will ; but be brief, Barbara.
These are very shall) moments."
" It is right that you should know
somethiog of the antecedents of the
WOMaII with whom you wonld share your
name," she said, in quiet, clear tones.
"1 will be brief, a you desire. My

hard one. Your public life may have
broeght you into dontact with such
struggling literary men, whose genius is
inseflicient to gain them entrance to the
world of letters, and which is yet suffi-
cient to unfit them for anything else.
