"Everybody feels it in London, my
dear, and when you've got air and are
not choking you feel bored to death;
you feel you would give anythiug to be
back again in the place where things
hum, to be in the thick of the fray. It
is vegetation to spend all your life in a
quiet place, even a paradise like this.
BtitI tell you what we might do. I've
had my doubts about the Sycamores for
some little time. We might move into
a flat—comparatively small—and take
a cottage down here solely for work.
That would pay better than setting up
our tent in any such place as this alto -
gather."
"A cottage one could than round in,
.
"Oh, yes! 1 take it house rent is not
very expensive here. At all events we
will look round at all the cottages and
see whatakind of pieces are going. And
we must see first whether I can work
in the dead stillness of a country life.
Somebody or other called it 'dead still-
ness,' didn't they? I once went down
into the canary to do a very special bit
of work that I wanted in a hurry. 1
went down with Goggle Eyes to a farm
in Surrey. I came back at the end of a
week dead beat, and indeed I never
passed a week in such a continual din
in my life! Did you know before that
horses never go to sleep?"
"Oh, nonsense!"
4'It is true,'mid he solemnly.
"Horses never go to sleep, or, if they do,
they walk in their sleep. My bedroom
was at right angles with the stables
where the farm horses lived. They kick-
ed the wane and the mangers and the
floor all night long I used to go in and
look at them foddered down knee deep
in straw, all still, silent, quiet, except
for the pulling of the chains through
the iron rings of the mangers. But as
soon as I got into bed they all began,
and they were never still for one min-
ute until cock crow—never! At hal/
past 8 or earlier the poultry yard began.
• And then between the coming of the
laborers and the flirting of the young
women—I don't know what they did,
because the men did the milking—and
the stentorian voice of tbe farmardbel-
lowing his orders I never got armrest
at all. Goggle Eyes slept through it.
He said it was heavenly, it was so *an-
on il. I believe Goggle Eyes would sleep
through the last judgment."
However, the Powys Arms proved to
be an ideal working place for Alan
Stacey. He flourished and throve, and
the work grew apace, and Mary was
more than ever set upon establishing a
little seaside home of their o n, a little
retreat to which they could a any mo-
ment retire from the world.

And during all this time they had

What The Earth Produces.
The earth has nourished u* through ttu.

thing that we really require for existence?
Have you ever thought that it is probable
that the earth supplies us with the means

only knew it? m.): animals know by in -
intact what is good for them and will search
until they find in wane plant what they
need for correcting Indigestion or constipa-
tion, etc. Is it, therefore, not possible that
there are roots and herbs supplied by nature
which will cure the diseases that &fillet

Buffalo, N, Y., has such faith in his 'Wed.

in general and active practice, he found
that a combination of certain herbs and
roots made into an alterative extract; with-
out the use of alcohol, would always put
the stomach into a healthy condition, noun.

don't like it, we can move on some-
where else."
"Then we will go home tomorrow?"
"1 think vve may as well," he replied.
So she set about packing up her few
belongings. She had taken only the
most plain and simple serge gowns with
her. A single trunk held everything
that she had. She packed a good deal
tbat evening, and in the morning 'she
got up early and finished it off before
breakfast time. '
"I will just run down to the village,"
mid _Alan, "and settle up with Jan
Treyethick, and by that time you will
be ready for breakfast."
"Yes, I obeli be ready,'' 'said Mary,
emiling at him, -
She watched him go down the village
street with eyes fall of pride and love.
What a man he was! With what a

easy grace of carriage! A mac every

ing for her, would never look for her in
such a place as that. If he were on her
track, he would find ber as well at St
Agnes as be would find -her at Biarritz.
There! Thatwas the last! She shut
down the lid of her drees basket with an
air of satisfaction. Alan's portmanteau
ehe had finished half an hour before.
She would put her hat and gloves there
on the dressing table, so that she evonld
only just have to run up stairs and
fetch them after breakfast. She glanced
atler watch. Oh, he bad had plenty of
time to get back from seeing the old
boatman, and she turned to the window
to look whether he were not coming
She only gave one glance. The window
was at the end of the room and com-
manded a full view of the irregular
cobble paved street, And as Mary's oyes
were turned to look along it she saw
Alan Stacey and Edward Conway walk-
ing up the street.
CHAPTER XV.
TO THE BITTEU END.
Mary only gave one horrified glance
along the village street, ere she cowered
back behind the shelter of the rite

bad the same pronounced sailor's roll.
Re was apparently talking excitedly
and was gesticulating wildly with his
hands. Alan waslistening, as he loung-
ed along with his hands in the pockets
of his jacket and his pipe between his
teeth.
The figures of the two teen passed
nnder the window and out of her sight,
but Mary stood. there like a woman who
was petrified. Stood there, holding for
support to the frail curtain, welding for
the blow to fall. She waited as Melia
Antoinette may have waited under the
guillotine. In five minutes it will be all
over; in four; in three; in two; in
one. It was close at hand—abont to
fall Yes! She tore herself ;may from
the support of the curtain as she heard
a footstep on the stair. Then Alan en-
tered' the room.
• "Well, sweetheart, are you not near-
ly ready for breakfast?" he asked.
The sudden revulsion of feeling, the
overpowering sense of relief almost
broke her down, She caugbt hold of
the dressing table to eteady herself, but
for a second or two could not speak. At
last she choked down the great knot in
her throat and asked him a question.
"Who was that you came up the
street with?'
He never looked at her as he answer-
ed. He was doing something to his pipe.
'Oh, a chap who asked' the way;
that was alL "
"The way to where?'
“I directed him to Roathlyn. He is
half way there by this time. Come, let
us go down and get our breakfast."
` She felt that the risk was immense.
She wondered what Edwaed Conway
was doing in that part of Coanwall. She
had never heard him speak of having
been in Cornwall, she had never heard
of his having any connection with any
one in Cornwall or with Corpish people,
and then tide reminded herself, half bit-
terly. that she had known very little of
him at La. But what was he doing here
in St. Agnes? it wits no nee ehirking
the situation. She must dare and risk
all at this juncture. Nothing would be
gained by cowardice. And, after all, he
could never force her to go beak to bim.
He could only at the very worst expom
her, and in her case exposnre would
mean the world's pity, never it$ scorn.
She drew her breath- sharp between
her teeth, took her handkerchief off the
dressingaable and turned and went out
of the room and down the stain, Alan
Stacey following And in the best par-
lor their breakfast was laid, and in two
minutes the delicate fried fish and gold-
en fresh eggs were brought in.
"Fish or eggs and bacon, sweet-
heart?" said Stacey as the apple cheek -
ed tnaid lifted the covers of the two
dishes
"Eggs and bacon, thank you. Alan,'
she replied.
She had never in her life felt less like
eating, but it would not die to arouse
suspicion by retthing to t to do so.
•
She poured out the coffee ad listened
with a smile that was no1 very real
while Alan told her of his farewell to
the old boatman. ;
At last he stretched out his hand to
her across the table.
"Sweetheart," , he said, "you are
quite sad at going away. Wonld you
rather stay here?"
She answered him all in a hurry:
"Oh, no, Alan; no, no. I am all packed
and ready. Don't suggest such a thing.
What should make yon give bee such a
Lot's wife character as that? I much
prefer to be going away. We have been
bere quite long enough. It is a dear lit-
tle place, and yon low I always want
to stay in a new place forever ; it is one
of my characteristics, but I think I get
tired of thein. I' think fuse them up. I
don't believe I Shall want to come to
St. Agnes again.'" .
"Not even to have the cottage?"
"No," trying hard\ to repress a shud-
der; "no, not even to amve the cottage,
Alan. After all, I thtialt you are right.
There is no place like London. We will
stay at home a few days before we go
on. What do you think?"
"Just as you please. I don't see why
we shouldn't."
"Nor I," said she, for the thought
had come to her that, if Edward Con-
way was hunting her down, there is no
place in the world where you can keep
yourself hidden so easily as in Lindon.
Nor would it be easy to find her, for
• she had not a single friend or acquaint-
ance who had known her at the time
of Captain Conway's supposed death.
At the time of her second marriage she
would have written to Mr. Lawson, to
whom she had only a few weeks before
repaid the last installment of the £100,
at what pinching effort she alone knew,
but he had just died, and with the oth-
ea officials of the Red River line she
had no acquaintance. So long as she
did not walk abroad there was but vtry
little chance of her stumbling against
her pursuer, Here, on the contrary, it
was almost impossible to keep out of
the way of any one whom you did not
want to see. Presently she would have
to drive three miles to the fitation, not,
mercifullyr alotig the road to Roathlyn,
but in the opposite direction. Still, it
was possible that be might have
changed his mind, and in any case she
would not feel ;absolutely secure until
ehe was mit of the neighborhood, until
she was oat of this desolation et woods
and fielde and into the safe shelter of
the great city.
For one wild moment she wished
with all her heart she had told Alan
when the news of Edward Conway's
rescue first reached ber. But now that
she had come face to face with the ter-
rible and awful tragedy which would
end, God alone knew how, she did not
dare to speak. As she sat there, trying
to force the egg and the delicate strips
of bacon bit by bit down ber throat

she recalled the very first time that she
had ever seen him—how be bad refused
with absolute scorn to inquire into her
character, how he had told her that
honesty was the dominant note of her
life; that she had many times given
herself away by being f00 honest, by
not being able to tell, at the right mo-
ment, the harmless, necessary lie.
And if I tell the truth I must needs
confess that she was at this juncture
afraid to tell him—afraid to own that
oho had shared his life and love while
the barrier of a great secret lay be-

"My friend," said Alan, "you will
never make year fortune. Here you
have entertained no to the best of your
ability. You have satisfied both my
wife aria myself, and we are extremely
obliged to you for all the trouble and
pains that you have been at to give us
' a good time. I am quite satisfied that
. the bill is all rigbt and that there isnot
a single item in it to which any reason-
able man could raise any objection."
Then she heard the chink of money
and, from the silence thee followed,
guessed that the landlord was employed
• in the serious business of receipting the
bill. She wondered how many more ho
tel bills would be made out, paid and
receipted for their sojourn together.
She wondered if Edward Conway found
her, and the decided to stay with Alan
—if Alan did net wish her to go away.
She wondered what people in London
woold say; how they would take it.
She supposed that in that case Edward
Conway would make it the business of
his life to follow them round and ea-
alain to every one the exact position in
which they were placed. Would it be
better to tell everybody? Would the
story get into the papers? Would it be
blazoned from one end of the world to
the other that Alan Stacey's wife had a
story as romantic as any of the thrill-
ing pages which had come from his pen?
She bethought her, in her distress
and anxiety, of a silly game called
"consequences," a game in which the
last clause is, "And the world saitl."
What would the world say to them—to
tier? She did not know; she did not
dare to think. Only she felt resolved
that so long as she could keep the secret
she would dc so.
"And you will come back again.
sir ?" she heard the boniface say.
"Yes, I expect we shall come back
again the next time I have got a spell
of hard work on and want to get out of
London, It is di actilt. to work in Lon-
don," she heard Alan answer; "it is
difficult to keep free of interrnptions
and so on. We have enjoyed oureelves
very much, I can theme you."
Then she heard a heavy footfall en-
tering the house. Her anxious, strained
ears told her whose steps they were.
They passed her door to the sanded bar,
and then she beard Edward Conway's
voice saying: "You bave a lady here
that is passing nyder the name of Sta-
cey. Which is her room?"
I Then there was a rush across the
passage, and Alan Stacey burst into the
room and caught her in his arms.
"My poor child," be mid, "1 have
been drea-ding thie for weeks and weeks.
The blow has fallen at last."
And by some instinct Mary knew not
only that he had known, the truth all
along, but that he bad been the first of
the two to hear it,
CHAPTER XVL
LET NO MAN PUT ASUNDER.
There was only time for a hurried
whisper between them.
"You won't desert me—you won't
give me over to him?" she gasped.
"Never," be answered; "never
while I live i"
Then the door was pushed hurriedlY
open, and Edward Conwars blunt fea-
tures and burly figure appeared before
them.
It was apparent to the meatiest ob-
servation that the man was beside him-
eelf with passion. He stood just within
the doorway, his hands thrust deep
down into his trousers pockets, eying
first one and then the other with his
flinty eyes, and upon bis lip was it ter-
rible sneer.
"Well, Mrs. Conway," he began at
last, "have you no sort of welcome for
me, your long loot husband, given up
for lost years since, your little more
than bridegroom? Still silent? Have
you nothing to say?"
Her lips moved, but no sound came
from between them.
"Still silent? No fond word of greet-
ing? Too much astonished, eh? You
made our° I was dead and gone, didn't
yen? But Edward Conway is not got
rid of so easily as that! Don't you think
it I Edward Conway bas been under for
it good long time, and Edward Conway
has got up again, and be has comeback
again to his happy home and bis roving
little wife that he left behind him,"
"You shall never come beat° mcI 1

"Oh, you're thinkiug still of a bit cf
a tiff! What's that between hiniband
and wife? Have yon never tiffed what

"This lady is my wife. eiie" put in
Alan Stacey, with dignity.
"Your what?"
"My wife, she Your turning up

"I don't know whether it's likely."

"As for you, you jack a dandy,' .
Edward Conway went on, taking no BO-

you this morning when I saw you stand-

asked you if you knew some people here
wbo were passing under the name of
Stacey, and you asked me what the man
was like and what he did frd a living.
I told you that he icribbled novels and
that I did not know what his appear-
ance was. and you told. me that poi had

"I never did," said Stacey.:with de-

"Yon told me that you Aid not know

parted at the door here, and 1 aeked an
old erandfather, who looked a dewy

people of the name of Stacey. He put
me on the right track. 'Why,' said ith,,
'that's the gentleman who is living it
.the Powys Arms—him I've beard tell
is writing a story book.' So I came
back to find the gentlemau who was
wring a story book."
"Then," said Alan Stacey, his voice
very cutting and calm --"then, my good
sir, you can go back again. This is not
the place in which to tattle a dispute of
thie kind. I presume you have a law-
yer. I will give you the address of
mine. No power on earth can force
this lady to live with you again. She
definitely refuses the honor. Everybody

There was a momentary Waffle., and
then the door was shut and Alen 8f4t,
cey's back was againet it. He and Mary
were on one side of the door and
Ed-
ward Conway was on the other.
On his side Edwaed Conway began
frantically to beat at the door; then he
kicked, and at lest, when the etont
panels showed signs of giving way,
there was a 'redden cessation of the
efforts to enter—a pause, a groan and
the sound of a heavy body tumbling to
the ground.

staid down on the beach, aieteining to

kind to her or not.
Then Alan Stacey came down to SO
her that all was over.
"Dear," he said, "this hae been a
htirtible time for you. I know as ;ma
