THROUGH- THE DARK SHADOWS
Or The Sunlight of Love
CHAPTER XIX.—(Cont'd).
Lucy's eyes shone. What mother
does not believe that her children are
the best in the world? She had been
like an angel of Mercy to the tired
girl when her husband had brought
her into the little home. She had put
her to bed, fed her, and Clothed her
in old things of her own; and she
had neither questioned nor worried
her since.
Jessica, only too thankful to find a
home for the present, and realising
the hopelessness of her strange pas-
sion for Adrien Leroy, had done what
she could to repay her benefactress by
helping her in the little shop, and play-
ing with and taking care of the chil-
dren. Now, at their request, she
took then back to the river side again.
while Lucy sat down at the table be-
fore a pile of sewing.
CHAPTER XX.
Meanwhile, Ardien's skiff was moor-
ed at the landing -place of an old inn,
some distance further up the river.
Under a rustic porch Lady Merivale
was finishing her tea, while her com-
panion enjoyed a cigarette.
--Alas! for the irony of fate! This
clay, during which he had strenuously
endeavored to forget Constance, had
only shown him more plainly the Litt
Impossibility of doing so. If he ha
but known the opportunity -he he
missed with that letter, his enorti
cation and despair would have beer
even greater.
Constance had regretted her polio
in sending Adrien from her alma
before the day was over, and had pu
posely planned this way of seeing him

the girl's heart was heavy within he
and filled with something very Iik
resentment too.
Adrien, off the other hand, all un-
witting of the harm this excursion
had done his cause, had talked long
and quietly with Lady Merivale. He
had quite made up his mind to break
away even from these silken strings.
"So you have determined to leave
mo?" she said sadly.
He nodded.
"You know I must," he replied,
. •"For your sake, as well as mine, it is
best."
"Perhaps you are right," she said
in a low voice. "So this is the last
happy clay wo shall spend together?"
"Yes," he answered with a sigh.
Now, standing here, 1 see only too
well that we ought Dever to have
spent any at all. I dread lost I have
spoilt your happiness. Eveline, lest
a breath of slander should touch you
name. I will not deny that I had of
late hoped to marry and settle down
as my father wishes, but it is not to
be, Don't laugh at me when I tell
you I am going to turn over a new
leaf. ,After this ball of Barminster.•, 1
shall -go abroad for a while. That will
give the world time to forget we
have ever had more than a passing
acquaintance."
Tears rolled down Eveline's face as
she listened to his words. She had
played her last card, and she knew the
game was lost; though it was her
vanity that suffered more than her
heart. She was too clever and too
proud to resist any further, however,
or sue for his favor, Presently she
rose, and said, as steadily as usual:
"Conte, Adrien, let us turn down
streams and retrace our way while we
can see, It is dusk already—I had
no idea it had grown so late."
He helped her into the little skiff in
silence; and its the Sea Foam glided
over the rippling waters a profound
stillness seemed to descend over the
darkening landscape,
Presently Lady Merivale peered
forward,
"This half-light is so deceptive,"
she said, in a rather nervous voice;
"I nearly steered you into the bank
then,"
"Can you see?' he asked. - "Put
down the lines and let me guide the
boa
"Just as you like," he said gently,
"1 will row quicker. It's time we were
in Hampton, For what hour did you
order the ear?"
"I came by train," she answered.
"1 have my motor," said Leroy; . "I
suppose you would not return in

"Good Heavens, No!" She exclaimed.
"Whatever would people think? No,
I'll return by train, and take a taxi
from Waterloo. I shall even then
be in time to dress for Lady Martine -
dale's 'At Horne.'"
He did not spec] to alter her de-
cision, but sent the boat along with
rapid strokes, which broke up the
placid water into ripples at each
plunge of the oars.
Lady Merivale- leaned forward and
gave a sudden start,
"Look, look!" she cried in terror-
stricken tones, "What is that?"
She pointed to a sheet of spray rising t
and falling a few yards from them,
or rather below them, Adrien turn-
ed his head to see the cause of her
alarm, and bi's very heart seemed to
stop beating.
"Sit still," he cried, "for Heaven's 1
sake. You have steered us near the c
weir'!"

"Quite startled, eh?" he continued
Kandiy, "Uztwoloeme visitor I sup-

"No, not" breathed the poo little
woman, who at the moment resembled
a sparrow in the cluthcs of a, hawk,
or a mouse beneath the paw of its

glad to see you, sir, Mill you come
de?"
kAt this faint welcome air. Vermont
smiled still more.
"Thank . you, Mrs, Lucy," he, said,
"I think I will," and he followed her
into the spotless sitting-roorn.
Meanwhile, ;Jessica at 'the first
-sound of a strange voice, and afraid
of being sought for by Wilfer, had
concealed herself at the back of the
house. e.
Jasper looked round the room in
mock -admiration.
"What a delightful little place, you
have here," he continued. "Most
charming! Commerce and romance
mingled together, I declare. And now,
sinking into a seat and fixing his eyes
upon the white, frightened face of his
victim, "how is your husband, Mr,
John Ashford?" •
"Very well, sir," faltered tlih miser-
able woman, praying with all her heart
that John might not come home.
"And the children," coati -mod . her
persecutor, "two, aro there not?
Pretty little dears! I'm so fond of
children, you know, Mrs. Lucy. Quite
a happy woman you mus,t be. A most
comfortable little house, I never saw
anything like it, excepting once, a
that was at Canterbury."
The poor woman, her worst Le
realised, fell down on her knees, a
urned up her white fate piteously
the. cruel, 'mocking one above her,
"Oh, sir, kind, good, sir," she i
ploreil, "spare me! You will no
say you will not ruin me? We are s
happy; it will break his heart if h
earns my secret. He is so good, Th
hildren! Have pity on them at leas
ir, and do not betray me."
Jasper smiled, and Lucy became
von more incoherent.
"Oh, sir," she cried, the tears
streaming down her white face un-
heeded. "I was so young, so giddy
and thoughtless, and that man was so
wicked. He tempted me. OIi, Mr.
Vermont, sir, I will pray every night
for you as I pray for John and my
ttle ones, if you will but spare me
nd keep my secret."
She might just as well have prayed

ercy or pity front this plan, to whom

suddenly, as Jessica, tired of wait -

anxiety,
She paused at the sound of his voice,
and stared at him. She recognised him
as the mot she had seen with Leroy,

her that he was evil. Jasper, too,

Wild Goose Takes the Place of Bleeper.
on a Farm.
In "Adventures Among Birds," Mr.
W. Il:, Hudson relates many unusual
stories of birds of many kinds. Not
the Ieast interesting of them is the
following anecdote that he tells about
t- a wily old gander.
On a certain small island on the
e coast of Norway the geese used to
congregate every year in large num-
bers, and here one autumn some years
e ago a goose was caught, by the leg
e in a steel trap set for a fox. The
O keeper from a distance saw the whole
vast gathering of geese rise up and
circle round and round in a cloud, with
a tremendous outcry, and when he got
to 'the spot he found the bird struggl.
ing vtQleetly in the trap. He took it
home to its-.10,1g'er ishutd close by,
where his =stele my informant's
friend, had a farm, From. that day.
the wild geese 1iever;settled on the is-,
let, which they had used as a resting
place for many years.
The bird ho'bosi accidentally caught
was un old gander 'and its leg was
broken; but the keeper set to work to
repair the injury, and after binding it
up he put the bird into an outhouse,
and eventually it got quite well. He- x'46''
pinioned it and put it out with the'
other birds, -A'little while before the
Oki gander had been caught the forces
had bactime so troublesome at the farm
that it was found necessary to shut up
all the :birds every night in inclosures
and houses made for the purpose; and
as the bird's preferred to be out, the
keeper• had to spend a good deal of
-time every evening in collecting and
driving them,in.
Nov, before the old wild goose had
been able to go about many days with
the ethers it was noticed that he was
acgutrieg a kind of mastery over them,
and that every day as everting ap-
proached he brain to try to lead, and
failing- in that, to drive, them to the
inclosures and buildings. The keep-
er, Carious to see hove far this would
go, began to relax his efforts; and as
his efforts slackened the gander's zeal .
increased, until he was left to do the
whole. work' himself; all the keeper ,
had to do was to go round and shut
the doors. That urate of things had
now continued for scene years, and the
old wild goose was the acknowledge
leader mid master of all the birds un
the farm,
