And, for the first time since his death, Amy's tears flowed fast and freely. Looni's heart :)led for the girl, but her Italian nature did not un- derstand the aelf sa,rifice of the words she spoke. Rather have him live and be the husband of an- other? Never!—she would. rather see him dead twenty times. Amy, with exquisite uuseifish- neas, had nothing but the tenderest pity for John. She blamed herself that she had not discovered his love for this beautiful foreign woman in tirne. She felt interested in her at once, and regarded her more in the light of a sister than of a successful rival. She asked her questions about herself, and was not shocked to learn that she was a ballet danc- er. She knew little about this pro- fession, and the little she knew did not place its members in the categ- ory of saints; but she was certain that'Lenoi was a perfectly good woman, and she believed too eyes, and their these was as foreign thoroughly in John to think for a as their faces.

When she reached the door she looked cautiously around to see if she was discovered, for she had a vague tear if she were seen she would be driven away. She turned the knob of the front door and opening it softly entered the hall. Not a sound was heard. In- stinct seemed to tell her which loom it was that held the beloved dead. Cautiously pushing the door open and closing it behind her she enter- ed. The room was only dimly lighted through the bowed shutters, but she saw the . coffin in the center of the floor and threw herself down on her knees beside it, burying her face in her hands. In this position abe remained for some moments. Then _she arose and kissed the cold face, the lips, the forehead, the eye -lids, all the time whispering passionate words in her native tongue. On :the other side cf the coffin sat Amy Bayliss, holding one of the dead man's hands in hers and watching this strange woman with dull wond- er. After Leoni's eyes had become accustomed to the light sho saw the other woman, but supposed it was one of John's sisters, of whom she had beard John speak. She said nothing, but taking a packet of letters from her breast—the half dozen she had written to John, and which Antonio had just returned to her—she opened his coat and laid. them upon his heart, then kissed his cold lips again. "How dare you! what are you doing?" exclaimed Amy, rising. "Excuse me, signorina; 1 am re- turning some letters that I know he will want to have buried with him," Leoni answered, in broken English. "He doesn't want your letters," cried Amy with indignation. "Take the m away." "I know that he does," answered Lconi. "You are his sister; you cannot refuse me?" she went on, in a ]ow, pleading voice. "1 am net his sister, and I tell you to take your letters away." "Not his sister!" exclaimed Leoni, all the jealousy of her race rising in her heart. "Who are you, then, -silo dare to sit by his side, who dare to hold his'handl" "I was his fiance; he was my lover," said Amy, with dignity. "But who are you, that dares to profane my dead?" The light of pity filled Leoni's eyes; she hesitated for a moment, end then said, softly, "I am his wife; he was my husband." Amy stared -at - her as though she not understand her words,, though she knew something terrible had been said. There was silence fol a few moments; then Leoni put n it her hood to Amy, across the ' dead body of the man they both loved, and Amy took it. "Will you forgive him?" said Lrnni.

Her trip has done ing company that owned no mines, how he had swindled unsuspecting people by false representations, and how the clever young captain who had served so brilliantly under him in the civil war hart been used as a decoy and finally induced to sign names other than his own to bogus certificates of stock. The flight of Mortimer to Canada and the suicide of Hurlstone, who had been secret- ly married to one woman while an- other waited for him at the altar, gave the reporters a chance such as they seldom had. It was an excit- ing story, and they made the most of it. - CHAPTER XXI. Rush was nearly crushed by the blow. He was proud of his family name. As far Jack as be could trace, every Hurlstone bad been a man of honor. It remained for this generation to blot the escutch- eon—just, too, as he was winning for himself a conspicuous and im- portant place in the metropolis, and (bitterer than all) just as he was trying to make every straw weigh in his favor with Helen Knowlton. It was a cruel blow, and it took all his nianhood to rise up under it. IIis associates at the office of The Dawn showed the best - side of their natures. They were kind and considerate all through this trying time. Although the story of the fraudulent mining comm pang and the suicide and its attend- ing incidents were the sensation of the hour, they printed as little of it as possible, and kept Rush's name out altogether. He had no sooner returned to New York and settled down to work again than Archie Tillinghast called upon him, and by his gentle and manly sympathy sealed their friendship with a seal that nothing could ever break. He also brought kind words from Bessie Archer and her mother and a kind invitation from Mr Archer to spend the fol- lowing Sunday with them. Rush was sincerely touched by these ex- pression of sympathy, for he almost felt himself ostracized by the dis- grace that had befallen biro; and the finding of Uncle Lightfoot Myers' card at his lodgings one day did more towards convincing hint that there was something worth living for, after all, than anything that hadhappened since his disgrace, for it showed a kindliness of spirit on the pact of a mere acquaintance that he had no reason to expect. A' abort letter fiom Aunt Re- becca, who of course had heard no- thing of the tragedy that had cast so deep a shadow over the life of her young friend, announced that she and Helen would sail from Liverpool on the lst of geptember, so that they were nearly due in New York at the time hush re- ceived the letter.

West Hastings bad not returned from Europe yet, and Rusk bad the field almost to himself, for it was early iu the season, and The men whom Helen knew were most- ly out of town. He himself was at her house every day—not ex- actly as a caller, but more as a brother. It was to bring her a book, to show her something in the papers she might not have seen, to try over a piece of music with her; there was al ways some good excuse. Helen was more than glad to have him, partly because she liked at- tention, and partly egause she liked a bright man wit Isom she could be on sisterly to , Rush's hours at The Dawn 'office were such that his time Witatihis own from noon, when he got up, until 9 o'clock in the evening, when he was due at his desk, were he re- mained until 2 or half past. Tho opera season would not begin until the middle of October, but Helen concluded to stay in New York to look after some costumes and rehearse some new roles. Rush began to think that fate was kind to him at last, for nothing could have been more delight than his af- ternoons at Helen's. Though neither Rush nor Helen were senti- mental, as the term is usually in- terpreted, they were both very fond of poetry. Rush had read more than she had, and it was his delight to lead Helen through this path of literature. She was devoted to Mrs Browning's sonnets front the Portu- gese. Rush had gone through that phase, and led her on to the sonnets of Shakespeare and of Dante. The latter they read in the original, Helen reading, and Rush asking questions when he did not quite understand the Italian: It really was an ideal time, and Rush, being uncertain of the future, wished tbat it might last indefinitely. But, of course, this was not to be expected. It was soon over, and poetry gave way to contracts, Mr Maxmann's visits growing more frequent as Rush's grew wore rare. However, Rush found himself at Helen's house as often as he could hope to be there. It really seemed as though he were necessary to her. His attentions were constant, but not annoying, and she soon began to realize that he was in love with her. At first she did not like the idea at all, because she thought it would break a pleasant friendship. Anything beyond that seemed to her out of the question. He was entirely too young, though lie was a dear, good fellow and she wits very fond of him. When also saw that lie had apparently no intention of de- claring himself, and that their re - Miens remained juot as they had been all along, she ;settled herself down to the old way, and almost made up her mind that a touch of such a feeling as Rush's added a pipuanry to friendship.

On the contrary, it madehim very unhappy; for he knew that if she bad loved him aa he loved her she would no more have kissed him than she would have put her hand in the fire and burned it off.
