When be lead passed without sl•eak-

that he had not recognized her. J
""i: will beg Raymond to tithe me

thought, confusedly. "If ho did not

exultantly. ""Il'r hasknow hoam

It Poor little Rosebud's tt iutnplt was
destined- to be but of short dura-
tion.
A bright-eyed lad, with his cap in
ono hand and a bouquet of rate ex-
oties la the other, stood before her.
"If you please, nli. s, the gentle-
man as passed you a minute ago
•send you these with his compli-
ments,"
All the bright crimson color faded
in one instant from Rosebud's face
.as he held out the bouquet. She had
read the startling words written
upon the swinging card. The let-
ters seemed dancing before her eyes
'like tongues of flame:
y "I know you! You are Rosebud
t Fielding—my wife!"
A wild thought born of reckless
Idesperation occurred to her.
• "You hove evidently made a mis-
take, boy. This bouquet is not in-
. 'tended for me," she said, proudly,
Band the very sound of her own voice
frightened her. All the sweetness
.and music seemed to have died out
.of it in a single instant.
. "I atm sure there is no mistake,

A proud, indignant flush rose to

look of indignant amzement to her.

roses aside, and moved on with the

would full down at Raymond's feet
in the clttst and humiliation of dieath-

cieeeitticn she had lent herself to all
for love of him.
Rosebud l:evu• reali'ed bow meek-

As she neared the entrance her

thought poor Little Rosebud, fran-
tically; the thought was like an in-
spiration to her.
Numerous cabs stood around the
entritncc. She watched her, oppor-
tunity, and when Raymond's glance
was turned for a moment in another
direction, c!uick as a flash of light-
ning she sped past hint, entering the
neat•cit cab.
"Drive around the corner quiet. --
as for your llfei" she gasped, "then
I'll tell you where to drive to from
there,"
"Whew! there's crooked business
afoot here, 1'11 just bet," muttered
the Arran, as he gathered up the
reins quickly and cracked his whip
over his mettlesome horses.
"Why, Leslie, that looks like your
wife getting into that coach," said
a young man, with whom Raymond.
was pleasantly chatting while he
waited. "She looked directly at
you, • too," persisted his friend,
laughingly adding: "We bachelors
have the advantage over you mar-
ried fellows. We have no young
wives pouting their pretty red lips
teeau.ee we can't take there here and
there. A fellow is at his wits' end
humoring these capricious young
wives, They expect a fellow danc-
ing attendance upon then every hour
in the day. They don't care a con-
tinental about business—that's a
second consideration with then!."
Raymond Leslie laughed good-
hulnoredly.
"Po yon know it is the greatest
pleasure of a man's life to humor
these pretty little whims of theirs,"
he remarked, earnestly. "Why, con-
found it, I refused to attend this
flower affair this afternoon with my
business because bustne s clentandit:d Ivy

fortauly wretched about it somehow,

at me: but that was not her you
saw driving off just now. She is ex-
pectieg me here with our own coupe;
but the crowd seems to be thinning
out, and if you will excuse me, I
think 1 will go inside and look
around for her."
The two friends shook hands plea-
santly and parted.
"Good Lord! how love -stricken a
fellow !'" muttered the bachelor
friend, gazing after Raymond. "Poor
Leslie is completely metamorphosed.
These bright-eyed young wives seen:
to play the very mischief with a
Ivan. Yet I wouldn't mind it myself
if I had just such a little fairy of
a wife as Leslie's—what does he call
her—Rosebud! Well, sho is the prct-
tie.st little flower 1 have ever seen.
No wonder half the men in San
Francisco envy Leslie :or much
beauty, sweetness and love. Still,
that was his wife I saw," he mused,
turning leisurely away. "And there
was the strangest look on here face
T ever saw there—a look of trag-
edy!"
CHAPTER XXV.
Raymond Leslie walked leisurely
through the fragrant blooms eagerly
searching for Rosebtd, but no Rose-
bud was to be found. "1 can not
understand it," he mused, es he en-
tered his coupe again and gave the
order—"}tonic."
"it was particularly arranged
that I should call for here perhaps
my friend was right after all, it
must have been Rosebud whom he
saw getting into the cab. Tho little
wretch intends to pique me for not
attending this alTair with her."
Turning these thoughts over in
his mind, the eager young husband
leaped lightly from the vehicle as it
reached the entrance gate, running
quickly up the broad, marble steps.
IIe quite expected a shout of rippl-
ing, silvery laughter to greet hint as
he entered the hall, and the dimpled
arms of his young wife to be thrown
about his neck, and the cherry -ripe
lips to tease hits for the anxious
look upon his face.
No Rosebud came to meet him; the
house seemed to be dark, cold and
deserted,
Raymond went to the library, giv-
ing the bell a violent jerk as he
threw himself into his arm -chair,
leaning his head against the marble
table.
"Has your mistress returned yet,
Airs. Lane?" he asked of the house-
keeper Who answered the summons.
"No, sir," replied the woman, re-
spectfully. "When she went out she
said she dict not know when she
would return, that we need not
wait lunch for her."
"Very well," said Raymond,
try-
ing to speak carelessly,
turningr tri
e to
his papers. "VU

turn

'I'lt.e housekeeper went out, silently
closing the door after her.
"There's something up," she mut-
tered to herself; "1 can seg, it in

The old housekeeper little dreamed
the treacherous door lead swung si-
lently ajar and that the lonely young
husband sitting there heard every
syllable of her low, muttered re-
mark;

but a, scar still remains.
On the table lay a ropy of Tenny-
son's poems, which leosebud lead said
had been sent her that nlotning by a
frielid; he remembered now how she
had evaded the question, and a
strange confused light had come into
her blue oyes. IIe took up the pret-
ty crimson -and -gold voluine, open-
ing it where the book -nark was
placed.
Everywhere he turned for the next
half hour the welds seemed dancing
before him; two verses were heavily
underlined; could this unknown friend
have marked It thus?
Tho heavy dashes did not look
much like the dainty delicate pencil-
ings of a woman, and women dict
not usually underline love passages
to their lady friends when there
were appreciative masculine. hearts
within range. With a strangely dis-
turbed heart Raymond Leslie read
the lines;
"0 that '(were possible
After long grief and pain,
To find the arms of my true love
Bound me once again!
Half the night I waste in sighs,
Half itt dreams I sorrow after
The delight of early skies;
In a. (wakeful doze 1 sorrow
For the hand, the lip, the eyes,
For the meeting of the morrow,
The 'delight of happy laughter,
The delight of low replies."
Hour after. hour passed, yet Rose-
bud aid not return.
In .vain Raymond told himself site
was in company with some of her
lady friends, and had remained to
lunch with them. Still he \vas not
quite satisfied in his own mind.
IIe tried to read his impels; but
his thoughts were continually of
Rosebud, and he threw down the
paper in disgust.
IIe 'drew from his pocket a pack-
age of letter's, which he commenced
to peruse to while away time.
"I think I must have been mad to
entertain the idea of taking that
business trip to New York and leav-
ing Rosebud here

Twilight fell softly around hint,
deepening into denser shadows of
night. Silently the soft, silvery
moon came out, lighting the broad
Pacific—which Raymond could see
from the window where he stooil—
with a thousand arrowy s•>nrlles,
and the bright•eytd stars, tnic:d as

Quite ainlessiy he turned from the
window and trent to Rosebud's room.
IIe half expected and hoped to find
her there.
He pushed open the door. The gas
was lighted and turned ]ow. A
dainty little slipper, so small Cinder-
ella herself alight have worn it, lay
on a crimson velvet hassock. A tiny
glove and a lace handkerchief lay on
the marble bureau, and a pretty
silver silk evening-dre:'s she had evi-
dently intended wearing that evening

blue bows she had intended fastening
upon it close beside it.
Ito half expected her to part the

roost, as she lead done so many
times, and spring to his side.
The dainty room bore traces every-
where of Rosebud's recent presence,
yet his pretty little bride was not
there.
"`1 Call' not understand why she
keeps mo in suspense like this!" he
cried, closing the door quickly after
hint and returning to the library. "1
wonder if that really was Rosebud
going oft: alone in a cab!"
The door bell rang with a quick,
sharp peal. Raymond started. un-
easily to his feet. A moment later
the housekeeper appeared.
"A messenger boy brought you
this, sir," she said. "There was to
be no answer, so he wont away
again."
Ile took it quickly from her hands,
and: the woman, knowing he wished
to be alone., discreetly withdrew.
Eagerly he tore open the envelope,
and, like one in a dream, lead the
few incoherent sentences Itosebud
had written Rita. His eyes seethed
burned by the welds, which read as
follows:

Agrtili he thought of his friend's
parting words: "I. alt sure it was
your wife whom I saw entering the
cab: and the was looking this wily,
too,"
"'('Quid it he there are any secrets

110 picked up the letter again and
re:lertised it, growing lire mystified
than ever.
Rosebud was young, thoughtless,
and irrepressible. Surely this was
no love intrigue wltfch wooed her
from his side. Tho very thought of
any other man glancing with love -
lit eyes upon his darling made hint
almost frantic, and all the slumber-
ing jealousy in his nature was stir-
red up in his heart in an instant.
Some one has said, "Where there is
perfect love there is no jealousy."
That may be true of calm, cold, na-
tures, but where the impetuous fire
of youthful blood flows through the
veins there is pretty apt to be a
strong per cent, of jealousy mixed
up in the caldron of pa,ssicnato love.
Our hero was very human. It can
not be wondered at that the torch
of jealousy was kindled at once in
his heart when he rcmemheied how
piteously Ilosebod had 1 egged him
never to return to .New York again,
for she was so happy here.
Yet, why was the tone of her let-
ter so heart -broken? A hard, cold
smile broke over his stern lib's.
"I shall make it my business to
unravel this affair at once," he told
himself grimly. "Surely a wife has
no secrets that a ltusbaticl may not

not be. Wiry hail she not trusted

it was the first shadow that had
risen upon the horizon of thtir wed-

shadow that was to darkest their

"ro you see that cab dashing

Percy Fielding, breathlessly, as he
sprung into the nearest coupe. "I

"All right, sir," grinned the man.

tage on the outskirts of the city,
which bore the modest sign—Doat•d-

porch.
Percy saw Rosebud alight, and
with hesitating steps open the wicket
gate and enter.
He hastily paid his bill, dismissal
his cab, and followed Rosebud at a
safe distance on foot.
"By Heaven, I could swear she is
Rosebud, lny wife,'' he muttered, ex-
citedly. "7f I was positive I would
Step boldly up and claim her."
Itec:.less and desperate though he
was, a hot tide of color rushed to
his face as he thought of the brand
of shame that would rest on a wife
who bore his name.
HIe remembered with a pang of
jealous bitterness how Rosebud had
recoiled from him the very moment

mony wits over and Legged hint to
take her, home.
