The windows looked directly out into a thick shrubbery which grew at the eastern end of the house. Frances drew Mtn within the shadow of the cur- tains. Adrian, look there !" she s.kirl,point- ing with; chill finger to the walk leading through among the shrubs. There was no need for the gesture, no need for the words ; he saw it well. In the "middle of the way stood a man, the same he had seen before in the park. In front of him, with a crimson shawl fold- ed loosely about her shoulders, and the jewels in her hair flashing in the moon- light, stood the figure of a woman , clad in white. The moonbeams fel straight upon her face, showing its gastiy pale- ness, its agony of pleading, its pain._ shadowed eye's, its drawn white lips, the face he loved beyond any earthly thing, the face which, he had so often kissed, the face of the woman he had made his wife, into whose keeping he had given the honor of his untarnished name. And she was unworthy. That was the beginning and the end. CHAPTER XY.. ESTRANGED. -- When Lady Adrian was in. her dress- ing-room that night her husband sought her there. It did not need his words to make her heart faint within her—his white, set face, his stern eyes, tc,ld her that his suspicions were really awakened now. He came to her, laid his hands apon her shoulders, and turned her face to the light. "Now,, Barbara," he said, in' that voice of curious calm, tell me, before I let you go, the meaning of the scene I witnessed to -night. Tell me who and what is the man who can induce my wife to meet him clandestinelye and who can bring upon her face the expression I saw upon it two hours ago ?" Her eyes did not meet his, her lips quivered, and she tried to free herself from his fingers. But they remained firm upon her shrinking shoulders, and the eyes looked at h.er as they had never looked before.. She could not speak. "I. am waiting,. Barbara," he said briefly. "Let me go, Adrian ; I cannot tell you," she said faintly. " You cannot tell ane,." he repeated, slowly and distinctly.. "Noe I cannot, Adrian. Adrain, do net look at me with such eyes. It is not as you suspect. I am your true and faithful. wife." He folded his arms, and a bitter smile wreathed his lipa— "Actions speak more strongly than words, Barbara.. Has your action of to- night and other days and nights before been in keeping with your assurance ? I think not." She turned her face away from him, -� nervously claspanr, and unclasping the bracelet on her arm. " My Gods Barbara, it maddens me to see you so calm—to hear your quiet refusal to, allay my suspicions, when all the fires "of Gehenna are burning in my breast," he said fiercely. Is this all the satisfaction I am to have at the hands of- the woman I have called my wife ?" "There is nothing to tell, Adrian. I am your true and faithful wife," she repeated, mechanically. " Very good. Then, till my true and faithful wife places full and implicit con- fidence inane,, and gives me fullest satia.- faction regarding this matter, we must be as strangers," he said briefly, and turning upon his heel, quitted the room. With a low moan Barbara Severne sank upon her knees, and buried her face in the.cushions of the chair. The blow had fallen, the punishment of her sin had overtaken her, the blackness of midnight must henceforth tie across her path for evermore. Sooner or later she must quit her husband's roof, for would/he believe her now in the face of Jasper Leigh's lying wards?" Ah, no ! his suspicions were aroused, his confidence in her shaken tor ever. She had felt in her inmost soul the sting- ing scorn of his bitter smile, felt that she had fallen from the pedestal upon which he had set her, fallen for evermore. So the sweet calm of the spring night fell upon her ruined hopes and breaking heart beneath_ the stately roof -tree of Mount Severne. Next day, as had been arranged., the party returned to London. , A little while longer must the world.be deceived, a little while longer before society would he shocked by an open rupture. The world saw little or no change in the do m:estie life of Sir Adrian Severne and his .wife. If it was remarked that they were less frequently. in public together, it was_ attributed to the ever increasing claims ,of Parliamentary duties upon Sir Adrian. The_ Eastern Question grew more intri- cate every day, and absorbed the inter - eat of all statesmen. ___- _..Lady Bassett did not returnfrom Bas- sett Royal at all that summer, so was spared the pain of witnessing the shadow resting on the home which was so often in her thoughts. Barbara was very thankful, for it could not long have re- mained hid from the sharp eyes of her friend. It was a wretched life, and • to escape from the agony .of her own thoughts. Lady Adrian phinged into the whirlpool of gaiety, accepted every invi- tation. to dinner, garden -parties, picnics, awl routs, and in her turn filled her house with guests. Her writing was altogether neglected. She would not visit her study for days together, and though Mr. Warren was clamorous for the promised MSS., " A Woman's Way" lay unfinished on the table. Before midsummer Lady Adrian Severne was known, as the gayest, most fashionable woman of the season rather than as the intellectual, reticent, but charming woman of letters.. Those who were her true friends regretted the change, and none more heartily than Ethel St. Maur. The best part of her time was spent in trying to account for it without success. Strange as it may seem, though living under the same roof, husband and wife met alone very seldom. Adrian never again broached the subject ; he had - sued to her once for all. Ere very long the hope of some satisfactory explana- tion died from his breast, and left him unhappy as those are who have loved and trusted, and found the object of it unworthy. Rut at times his heart yearned unspeakably over his wife, still dearer to him than anything on earth. At times it was more than he could bear to refrain from taking her to. his heart again. But the Severne pride was strong within .hint,. the Severne . honor stronger stilt. Both bad been touched, and until his wife of her own accord could restore them, he Was powerless to sect.

Puritan Liquor Law. The history of American liquor legis- lation begins almost with the landing of the Pilgrims. As early as 16.33 the au- thorities of the colony of Massachusetts Bay issued an ordinance I setting forth that many persons. were "distempering themselves with drink," and that others were in the habit of selling itoxicants to such as were already drunk, and also to servants and Indians,' thereby caus- ing much disorder; drunkenness and misdemeanor." In order to ,remedy this state of affairs, it was enacted that no person should sell wine or " strong water " without first having obtained permission from the Governor or his deputy. Beer could be sold without a license. The sale of strong rater to In- dians was absolutely ;prohibited. The 'license system thus introduced was gradually changed into a high! li- cense system. In 1646 the fee required in Boston, Charlestown andalem, as fifteen pounds. In many of the to ns the expedient of granting ligfuor mono- polies to certain merchants :was for a time tried, 'but was so unpopular that it had to be given up. Import duties were levied- upon all liquors brought into the colony, and an internal r venue system was also introduced. he object of levying these taxes was n t so much the restriction of the liquor usiness ass the enlargement of the public revenue. The desired effect was secured and the colo- nists were almost entirely relieved from direct taxation. But the Puritan fathers were austere moralists as well as Shrewd eeonom;lsta and their attempts to diminish he amount of drunkenness were incessant. " The courts exercised discretionary power in the matter 'of punishments. Confinement in the stocks or 'bili bows,' fines from one to forty shillings, and in- carceration—these were the usual pun- ishments inflicted upon drunken persons, in cases where drunkenness was aggra- vated by some ether misdemeanor aris- ing from it. It was a much iiavored practice of the court to expose offenders to public scorn by compelling them to fasten to their outward garments a white sheet of paper with the word Drunkard written thereon in large .letters." In 1633 one Robert Coles; a church meanl'ber and a voter, was disfranchised and don- demned to wear the letter D on his out- ward garment and for a whole year. The tavern -keepers were subjected to many restrictions. By the laws of 1845 and '46 they could not permit tippling after " nyne of the clock," nor permit their guests to " waste precious time " by loitering " above ye space of 1}alfe an hour." For the violation of these re- quirements, or four the permitting of ex- cessive drinking, they were to be fined from three to ten shillings. For the second and third offence the fine were respectively doubled and trebled, with the alternative of ten stripes. The law of 1633 against selling to the Indians experienced three very essential changes within a short time. " After the creation of a special commission for Indian trading (1641) the prohibitory law was so modified as not to apply to cer- tain traders. Them came an order from the court instructing the constable of every town to pay one bushel of corn or _threa quarts of wine to any Indian who delivered to him a wolf killed within the bounds of such town. And, finally, h 1644, the General Court, ' apprehending that it was not fit to deprive the Indians of any lawful comfort which God allow- ed to all men by the use of wine,' order- ed that all retailers should be permitted to sell to Indians 'so much as may be fit fo their needful use or refresh- lnThe payment of the wolf bounty either in cur or wine calls attention to; the curious and demoralizing form of "t' ck syetein" which then prevailed, not n1y in Massachusetts, but in almost all the countries of Northern Europe. M ney was scarce, and commodities of compar- atively stable value took its place as currency. " Many conscienceless em- ployers," says Mr. Thomann, " virtually compelled their help to take intoxicat- ing beverages in pay for their labor,even against the latter's wishes and inclina- tions." When they had no immediate need or desire for these liquors, the la- borers sold them again in smaller quan- tities, and in this way innumerable re- tailers were created. In order to remedy this evil, the court, in 1645, 'ordered that thereafter no laborer should be forced to take intoxicants in pay for his work. This act, however, " named no punishment for the violation of the pro- hibition, while it imposed upon the la- borer a fine of two shillings for every quart of wine -.$old contrary to law." In this way the laborers were often forced to literally drink up their wages. In general; our Puritan ancestors re- garded tippling with a much greater de- gree of allowance than we do to -day. Drinking they licensed, but smoking and dancing nd the buying or selling of lace they a solutely prohibited. The sumptuary 1 gislation of to -day enters the saloon, b t stops at the home. That of the Purita s did exactly the opposite. Their laws st ove to regulate the fashion of women's arments. Mr. Thomann cites one ordinance which enjoined that "sleeves were not to be so short as to dis- cover the nakedness of the arme, nor so wide as to require an immoderate mea- sure of cloth." There is no comparison between such legislation as this and the temperance legislation of to day. Drunkenness was condemned as a crime,but even here the penalties impos- ed were comparatively light. " He who took the Creator's name in vain was sure to be heavily fined, or to be placed in the stocks, or to have his tongue put into' cleft stick,' as happened to Robert Shorthone for swearing by the ' blood of God.' Absence fromchurch, the dese- cration of the Sabbath, and idling were among the offences whieh,from the moral point of view of the\ uritans, deserved punishments quite as severe as those in- flicted for drunkenness." The laws closing the tippling -houses on Sundays were not nearly so strict as they are to day. Even in Connecticut, under the bluest of the blue laws the frequenting a ' saloon was reckoned among the very minor offenses. Here are a few of the penalties prescrib- ed: Shillings. Neglebting the public worship of God in some lawful congregation 10 Playing or working on the Lord's Day10 Using rude and profane language 40 Travelling on Sunday unless belated and forced to lodgerin the wilderness or on —the highways the night before 20 Going to or from home, except from or to worship 6 Drinking in taverns 5 Tarrying outside of a church at time of . Sr•nrshi 3 P .Loitering or congregating in streets or eikewhere on the evening before and after the Lord's Day 5 Our present Sunday closing movement is certainly in no sense an attempt to re- 'viv a the Puritan Sabbath.
