(Published in Pamphlet Form by John Lovell & Son, MontreaL) • CHAPTER XXII. (Continual from last week.) "Don't Cecil, I hate demonatrations, particularly in hansom cabs. Here,4e are, will you come in ? You'll find it awfully slow." "Yes. I will. No, I won't, if you'd rather not. I'll walk up and down out- side until you come out. "Much the best plan," laughed Jocelyn. - .. Se went into the_shop ; it was nearly an our before she re -appeared. When she clid,she way accompanied by a slight, pl' ain eager -looking itirl. " Imust have an answer for him, Jocelyn," the girl was 'eying. "Are you ooning back itonight, or are you not? I can't have him corning to the house as if he wanted to see me. Mother would be so wild." " Hush I I'll coma if I can ; how can I make promises when Hope is so III ?

" I must go into thirl shop with Lot- tie," she said. "Yee, I am going to sleep at the Douglases' to -night, but I shall go home to lunch with Ant Margaret and Lot- tie, and it is ver' probable I shall spend the evening with them. I can see you to -morrow with the . Douglases, Cecil ; you might come about eleven if you like." Cecil's face fell. • . " And my mother l" he began, ",you know she expected to meet you in the Park." " Please giveher the prettiest mes- sage you can invent, from me. Tell her I was unexpectedly detained. I trust you will say something nice, dear old 'nen." , The last words were almost whispered; the lovely eyes grew soft and tender. 'Cecil felt .& gtow round his heart. "I'll manage it, my dear," he said, in a voice tremulous with emotion. Jocelyn nodded again lightly to him; arid went into the shop with Lottie. "No wonder poor Dick is as bad as he is," thought the young fellow, ae he walked down Regent street. "1 loved her before—I loved her alwayieeince the first day I saw her, when she was a lit- tle imperious child, and made me do what she wanted, but oh, hew deeply I care for het now. She bewilders me, she teases me. She'll always do just whatever shefancies with me ---see knows that; but how lucky I am, I can't be- lieve in my good fortune. Well, poor Dick, yea, of course I'm sorry for -Dick, he must go to Australia, or Ceylon, or somewhere; he'll have to give up Ox- ford, of courae, that goes without say- ing. I don't suppose he'll be selfish about it, for I couldn't take Jocelyn in- to.exile, she wouldn't go. I shouldn't like to teat her love too much. Oh, of course it's there, but she mustn't be ruf- fled. The first thing I ask her shall not be a sacrifiee. No, Dick must go away. Poor Hope, I hate to` think about Hope. Well, it is all really settled. I am ab- solutely engaged to Jocelyn Karron ; now I shall write to Dick and tell him." Grey turned into his club, and soon dashed off a hasty line. He was happy but very restless and disturbed. Joc• elyn was his, but he certainly could not mentioa any possible wedding day. "Dick said not to let him know until we were absolutely married," he mur- mured to himself. "1 may have to wait awhile for that, but this will put him out of his pain—poor Dick, poor old fellow !" Then Grey wrote his letter, glanced over ite contents, put it into its envel- ope, and with his own hands dropped it into the nearest pillar box. The next morning Markham, who had returned to Oxford, received it. He had teken a house there—a house where he and Hope were to have lived happily together. He had not gone near the house, but had returned to his old lodgings. There he silenced hie &don- ished landlady by telling her that he had no news wlaatever to give her; that he was not married, nor likely to be,and by a requeat„ made with most unusual sternness, that she should cease to ques- tion him on the subject. Then he took up his usual avocations, lecturing better than ever, but shunning his fellow -men. It was quite true that he was not the least ill in body; he ate and when he went to beihe slept. His t brain felt more acute hen ever; his reasoning powers were excellent; but the kindly light had quite gone out of his face—the light which used to make Dick Markham's plain, rough, rugged features almost beautiful when he look- ed at suffering, or spoke to a child, was gone. He often said to himself, "1 don't suffer at all, but really I have not a scrap of heart.It is as if it had been killed with a blow. If this state of things goes on, I may turn into a very cruel man. I am a hard man now—hard as iron—I must be on my guard against myself " On the morning Markham received Grey's letter, he ascertained with almost a sense of satisfaction that the heart he thought dead was onlY frozen or stun- ned. itawoke with a great throb to fresh life. A wretched senee of bitterness came over him. " The worst of it is, I know I am an utter feel," he said to himself. "What man who was not an idiot would throw away all that makes life worth living for the sake of a face and a voice that cut never be his. Never, now absolute• ly, for at this very moment she belongs to another." For the firet time that day Markham's thoughts tweed to Hope. Not that he was even yot sorry for her. It seemed impossible to him at that moment that any girl was to be pitied who was well rid of a f ellow like himself. For per- haps the most acute part of the suffer- ing which fell to his share during the few weeks that followed was his sense of self-abasement. He hated himself even more thoroughly than he still loved and clung to the voice and, the shadow which darkened hia life. His heart was no longer paralyIsed, however; which, although he could scarcely be got to consider this a spcicial blessing, was at lefist a move in the right direction. t - CHAPTER XXIII. It was rather a merciful thing for Hope that the dreadful and mysterious calam- ity which fell upon her was immediately followed by illness of an acute Nem. She wee not absolutely in danger, but she suffered from a recurrent sort of low fever, which when est last .it left her took away a good deal with it. For instance,' the great chum which there had always been about Hope had boon the ;angular likeness which her face bore to her name. It was an expos ant Igoe, with a glad outlook abont 1, an anticipation of eornething brighter and better than the present could give, al- ways filling the eyes and eparklin on the lips. Now this look had gone. The ace which rose from that sick bed was a eat but the thing that had given it its beauty had left it, It was a still fee, rather wanting in animation' 9uite un - expectant, with no forwardmotif ing glence. No one could now epee of Hope Karroo as beautiful, although the trouble that lied come to her NW eftneo embittered her, Timr4 Aro gide and gide, Dere tire many who under Al hlOW like thie w nld 1eopin3 ehatrtered, poor, and neeleeo not gfoitt notny r 1IyJlo of nrOit#O bell/net Wit 111_06 WOtildboeifitaittorsd Hope mb1iro4, A wait dleal had been taken away, hut Ad WM not going to limul ti nolo§ IA, AftWithreo weeke of illneeo, ohd went on darto Mrs, bougla4, and had s long talk with her, "I am nob cured," oho aid " Soffit). thing hail been taken1-!away feoin ine which can never be replaced. Dick was not to blame; he told me tbat a possible contingency inight occur when fltst he asked me to become his wife. I became engaged ts him knowing all about this. Dick was _not to blame,although it is very sad to me. Yes, it is very aad and hard, but I am not going to be crushed. To morrow, Mre. Deuglas, I want to go away. I have fixed on the place I am going to, but I don't want anycine to know -my secret but you. Neither Kate nor Jocelyn is to know. I will give you my address. See, it is here in this closed envelope. Open it if you eally want me, and in any case open it et the end ot six months if you don'thear from me before. I am going &Way to got cured, or at any rate so fai cured that I can be a useful sort of girl again." "But what about money, dear ? ' said • Mrs. Douglas, who was a soft -h arted woman, and could not help Crying While the yeung girl sat by her side so quiet, and still and patient. "You can% go on with your profession while' you are away, Hope. You must have money to carry out your scheme." "So I have." answered Hope, -" I have a little nheney saved, and M r.1Frost- had just sent me my half -yearly income. Now, youl will keep my secret, won't you ! 1 am not going to tell anyone I am going. 1 I am not going to say good- bye to anyone." Not even to Jocelyn ?" "No, net even icr Jocelyn. Jokielyn seems very' far from me now. Oh, yes,I am glad she is engaged to Cecil, bht she is changed. I think she is more Aunt Margaret's child now than my sister." The next morning early Hope carried out her plan. She vanished from the Douglases' quiet little dwelling, leaving no apparent trace behind her, for Mrs. Douglas faithfully, kept her secret, There was a small excitement at her depar- ture. The little circle of her acquaint Roca were interested for a day or two, but time goes fast in the busy London season, and in a day or two Hope Kate roc and her sad little story were forgot- ten. It was the end of June and al very sultry evening when Markham once again, owing to some circumstances connected with his profession, found himself tralveling to London. Once again he wai in the bustle of arrival at Paddington. After his late experience he cordially hated railway stations, and now pushed his way rapidly through the crowd. All his necessary luggage had been shoved into one small handbag. This he carried himself, and was about to hell a hansom to convey him to his destination when once again he was pulled up short, and once again his heart beet heavily and strangely. As he stood on -the pavement waiting to summon his hansom, a neat brdugh- am drawn by a pair of bays came rapidly up, occupied the space just be- fore which he was standing, interrupted his view of the line' of hansoms, and forced him for the moment, chafing with impatience as he was to turn his atten- tion to the occupants of the brougham. They got out—a girl and a man. The girl looked full into Mark ham's face; he staggered back and turned white. His change of color and evident confusion perhaps helped her to recognize him. he stepped forward with a radiant smile; "My unknown friend of St. Peter's; at Rome, is it not io ?" she said, .And she held out her litt e hand. Markham did no take it. He stam- mered something unintelligible; a crim- son wave of deep c lor had rushed all over his face. "1 think myself lucky to have met you," continued t e girl. "1 don't know your name, bit I have somehow associated you wi h luck. I will tell you any name now, 1hst is'iny new name —the Contessa Lon obardi. Yes, I am a bride --this is my redding-day." "Let me congratulate you," begae Markham. "My ame is—is—" but before he could uttei a word the count, a fussy little dark -e od Italian, hurried up: Not a moment lose—we shall miss our train, carissim ," he said, and he darted a fiery glanc at Mai kham. Some people -rushed up i a hurry, the bustle increased, and in a 1 moment Markham found himself whirling away in a han- som through the sultry evening air. There was a cold dew on his forehead •, he had a queer sensation as if he had suddenly passed through death. Any- where—driVe anywhere," he said tb the cabman. The evening was very etill ; not a breath of air seemed to move. Mark- ham took hie hat off and began mechan- ically to wipe the drops of dew from his cold forehead. The driver of the han- som, not knowing where else to go, took him into Hyde Park. He drove' through froni one gate to another not too fast, for surely there was no use in wearing his horse out over a person who did not know his own mind. Markham,. with his hat stil off, leant forward in hisociat. The balmy, warm air was roviviof to him, and something in his present/situation recalled dimly at first, then vividly, an old memory. About two months go. he had left Paddington and drive , a gay and light- hearted man, to Victoria.

I'll just go and have s met ing, for I'm starving. Thep I'll jopi yoa." Markham went iuto the reading room. He took up an evening paper, held it so that no one should see his ft4ce, and fell instantly into a dream. Once again he saw the home and the girl jho presided livered from a delusion ; ut perhaps there. He was cured,' he lird been de. even yet his mind had met recovered its normal balance. He was!, a just man, unselfish, a man with generous instincts —sithh was the normal Itlatkhain. He was about to inflict 'a terrible blow on his beet friend, and 'yet the Moment that friend left hint he forgot k4m. He sat on in a snug chair, enjoying his dream. The room was full of men when he entered. After re time he no- ticed that he was almost alhne. Then it occurred to hirn tOspeculat of time Cecil took to Idi looked at his watch,and st been in the reading room hour; it was now nine o'cl He rose with an effort; , been so acute, and his abs ance so sudden that he felt a certain genie of pleasant inertia. iAll was right where ell had been wrong4the love, the home,' were before him. He was not troubled as yet with even 1 the faintest shadow of a doubt With rclgard to the reception Hope would give him. Still, Cecil was a long tine away. He went out of the reading.roem, and found himself again in the eutranCe hall. See- ing that he was lookiug about in an in- quiring manner, a page came up to him. "Are you Mr. Markham, sir? Are yon looking for Mr. Grey ?" 1 0 Yes. Mr. Grey was dining here. Will you ascertain if he haa finished ?" "11. went out a long time ago sir, He said when you asked for hirn I was to give you this." A rather bulky envelope was put into M,arkham's hand, He thrust it into his pocket, put on yis hat, and went out. He felt no curiosity o read what Grey had. aid. them.

Then Merkliam turned his attention once again with a certain reckleseness to his own affliirs. f There was a quiet little hotel in the, neighborhood of Piccadilly where be was in the 'habit of going when le spent a few days in town. Should h drive there now, order some dinner, red poor Cecil's 'letter, an :ponder over ilhat he could do for him? No, he could do nothing for Cecil ; he could Mat even comfort him.1 His owe affairs were par- amount. Something was drawing him, a longing which was almost pain was 'impelling him in a certain direct on. He yielded to the impulse, jumped nto the cab, gave Mb. 1Dougles' addre a, and soon reached the house. It as, now half -past nine—rather a. late hoe for an ordinary caller; but he could ot pos- sibly class himself under such head. A neatly dreesed servant—not Jane— answered his Iring, "Is Miss Karroo at heme ?" ' " Misa Karrod ? iNo, sir. Mis roii doesn't li/ie belie, sir." This answete-made Markham tagger back a trifle. 1 He gazed at the aervant (Coetlimed on 3rd page.) NEW pRINTS.
