wailed.
with many a tear and sob,
she told him of her visit to Beecon's
Crag, and of the removal of Vashti
during her absence. It was sweet
to know that she had a hearer who
sympathised with her every word,
who. sorrowed deeply and truly for
her every pain.
"You have saved rne from death,"
she cried -"you have brought me
back to life -but- it shall never be
swat with Philip Rainaforth! I
will go away where he.shall never
more look upon my face or hear my
voice!"
Arley Gouge rose to his feet, and
paced backward. and forward along
the narrow meadow path. The old
passionate admiration, the old love
was burning very strongly tied
brightly.
"Do you remember the name of
the place that they have sent Vashti
to?"
Yes,he asked,standing before her,
she remembered; she named it to
him.
"Miriam was educated at the
same school," she added; "you know
what they have made her."
"Wynne," ho clied, once again
bending over her, and speaking
ea,gerly, "listen to me quietly and
patiently for a few moments. Your
scornful words, your cold rejection
of my love, drove me away from my
home; I thought that in the gaiety
of Paris, I should soon learn to
forget you. But I found that my
love was stronger than my will -
that I could not forget; I hungered
for a sight of your face, I longed
with an intense longing for the
sound of your voice. Fresh faces
and new scenes did not satisfy my
longing -I could remain away no
longer. I returned last night."
Arley Gough was anxiously
watching the face which seemed to
him the loveliest the earth contain-
ed. He saw that she was listening
patiently and quietly, as he had
pleaded that she would do -she, the
wife of another, to whom no good,
honorable man would have dreamed
of uttering such words.
• "Surely," ho continued, "fate in-
tended us for each other; or why
did it send me here to -day?"
She listened to him with guilty
joy throbbing:at her heart; she made
no attempt to silence him, no effort
to resist when her heart whispered
how sweet, how soothing the ac-
ceptance of this lova-would be -in-
finitely preferable to lying amidst
the !lilies beneath the rippling river.

-dazed and bewildered her, blinded
and confused her senses of right and
wrong; she'could only -sit there and

her•devotedly would be.
"There are other lands more fair
than 'England," her tempter whis-
pered, "other homes more happy
than any here. Beneath summer
skies in more genial climes we will
seek the happiness denied us here.
Do riot turn away from me -do not
listen with deaf oars and closed
heart to my pleading."
Ho looked into the sweet blue
eyes, and throogh the -glittering
tears he read the love which should
never have .been seen there.
"You will consent!' he cried.
"Ah, my darling, in the years to
come I will prove my gratitude.
You shall be my wife -my honored,
idolised wife; and until that day
shall come I will guardyou devoted-
ly from every sorrow, I will care
for your welfare unceasingly."
On the brink, on the very brink
she stood, but hez eyes were holden,
her senses bewildered; she could not
see the destruction that lurked
around her, threatening mind and
body -she would not look down
and behold the horrible pitfalls, the
yawning chasms at her feet.
"You shall not go without your
child; I could not ask that," he re-
rumed. "If earthly power can ac-
eomplish it, I will give Vashti back
to you- ere many days have elapsed."
"But you cannot --how can you?"
" He smiled down upon the lovely
face upraised so eagerly. He kissed,

the same roof which covered Philip
Rainsferth could never again give
her shelter -that she must hasten
away and hide herself somewhere
forever, where those stern, grave
eyes could never again rest upou her.
Her brain seemed cn fire; she could

wayward heart throbbed almost to

At ley Gough had rescued Vashti
from drowning; and she threw her-

gazed long and earnestly into the
river's depths.
How calm and restful it looked!
How sweetly the viihite,lillies repos-

surface! They seemed to invite
her-tc say, "Come, join us -there
is peace and fergetfulness here." A
delirium possessed her- but she
strove to resist its power. She

brain -but she had lost the power
of weeping. Suddenly she rt se to
her feet, the strange wild fire in her
eyes honing with till greter in-

"Why not?" she muttered. "With
