CHAPTER XII• " TOO LATE 137 The days of Mrs. Ruthven's dangerous illness were the worst and most distressful Lady Dorrington had ever known. She was really anxious about the sufferer, and she was infinitely annoyed by Marsden's unfeel. ing indifference. Except for the one hur- ried visit, he was content with a formal daily bulletin; nor did he 'seem much con- cerned if, by any aceident, that was delayed. le was disgracefully heartless as an abstract fact, and it would have a fatal effect upon Marsden's chances when it came to the knowledge of Mrs. Ituthven. What was Clifford thinking of? Had he discovered a mine? or had the reports which had reached Lady Dorrington, and been believed by her, as to his extravagance and embarratiament, 'been exaggerated? He was too trying 1 What was keeping him, in London at such a time? Could there be any truth in the absurd idea that Nora L'Estrange was the attraction ?—a mere no. body- -slenderly dowered, and nothing re. markable in the way of beauty. However, as time went by, Mrs. Ruthven held her ground. There was more ten- acity in the fragile -looking, slender little woman than people thought, and at length she was able to sit up a few hours, to listen to Lady Dorrington when she read the more intereeting paragraphs of the newspapers aloud, and finally to read her- own letters. But still. there was no intention on the part of Marsden, apparently, of coining to offer his congratulations in person. He wrote kindly and cordially, but in a strictly friend. ly tone, explaining that he was busy arrang. ing his somewhat entangled affairseand the preliminaries necessary for letting Evealeigh on a lease of several years. This letter was in itself a severe blow. It was, however, as nothing compared to one received next day from the watchful Cap- tain Shirley. After expressing his delight at hearing of her progress toward recovery, his regret at not being on such terms with Lord and Lady Dorrington that he might venture to run down •and see her, he in- formed his esteemed correspondent he could now assure her that Marsden was positively engaged to Miss L'Estrange. He was with her and her step mother every day, and all day. Finally. he (Shirley) had been' in- a celebrated jeweler's shop in Bond street,- vvhere his attention was caught by an un- usually fine ring, the design being two hearts emited—one of rubies, the other of diamonds. The Shopman said it was, he fancied, an engagement ring, and made to order. • He had scarcely finished examining it when Marsden came in, and after ex• changing a word or two with him, went to the counter and asked if his order had been executed, whereupon this very ring was handed to him. The next day Shirley had called on Mrs. L'Eatrange, and was admitted, when he saw the identical ring on Mies L'Estrange's left thtrd finger. There waa but one infer- ence to be drawn. When Mrs. Ruthven read these lines she felt as! if something enapped in her brain. Her hart beat to enfficatian, and hereine agination presented her with a confused, broken, shadowy mass of pictures from the past. Was -this the result of all Marsden's im- plied tenderness and admiration? Had he 'blinded her keen eyes, and deceived her sharp observation? He should pay dear— dear. And that careless, candid girl, whose easy indifference was absolutely ineelent, whose comparative poverity and obscurity ought to have been a barrier to her advance- ment, was preferred before her wealth and beauty and carefully cultivated grace. It was too maddening. .If she could destroy both, she would. — And now every one would talk! She had been so Sure of becoming Mrs. Clifford Marsden, of Evesleigh Manor—every one knew that the marriage was expeoted—and now to be deceived, cheated, deserted, for a mere insignificant, half -developed crea- ture! Mts. Ruthven felt murderoue. Her head was dizzy, she passed a terrible night, and next day the doctor was sent for in hot haste, as his patient showed every symptom of a relapse, and before twelve hours were over, she was rambling' incoherently in .a highfever. She must have sustained a mental shook of some description, the doctor said, bot no one could surmise what had caused it. Mrs. Ruthven had hed sufficient' foresight, feeling terribly ill, to tear the litter into minute fragments and burn them, and fromher speech little oould be gathered save that she te of n- 50 al I0. ed ei Cop n - y, ns n. he a.

How did she come to believe so implicitly in Winton's attachment to Helen? Surely Clifford Marsden, who knew both before Helen was married, he ought to know the real facts. Could Mark for her ? No various impoetant trifles indicative of his interest in herself from the very beginning of their acquaintanee, recurred to her pain- fully excited memory. Why—why did she allow herself to be so easily mislead? How did Clifford come to be so deceived? Was she not base to suspect her effianced hus- band of tri:kery because she was miserable herself? And if, as she believed only yes- terday, Helen was attched to Winton the round of wretchedness would be complete Why had she been so precipitate ? Turn which way she would, she was hemmed in by the misery she had caused others. How was she to bear her life? She must let Winton believe in her indifference to him, her love for Marsden. After all, her duty and consideration ought to be for the man she had promised to marry, when she thought another was preferred by the man she loved! Where could she turn for coim- eel or comfort,? None could give it to her. Her wisest, justest course, would be strict- est silence as to Winton's amazing avowal, Then there would be no disturbance. Helen would remain on the same friendly terms with Winton, perhaps he might learn to love her. At any rate, she had always heard that men never suffered much from such disappointmente. It was all too, too cruel! . To think that through a mistake so slight, so easy to have avoided, she had missed the road that led to happiness—happiness • full, complete, soul-satisfying—and made him she loved so well suffer as bitterly as she did herself! It was an hour of intense, blackest _de- spair, a night of anguish to which there would be DO succeeding eawn. To theior- rows, as to the joys of youth there are no to -morrows. In grief it indifnantly rejects the idea of consolation, as being so heartless as to forget, while the suggestion of prud- ence in pleasure, less dark days may come, is resisting with scornful certainty of per- -manent bliss. To Nora the only possible mood that could succeed her present suffer- ing would be the numbnese and indifference of mutual death! In the bitterness of her remorse for her own hasty action, ehe wrung her handle and the splendid engagement ring, which Marsden had placed upon her hand in addition to the signet he still wished her to wear, fell to the ground un- noticed. At length she tried to think what she had better do to hide herself from the kindly inquiring 'eyes of her step -mother. She could think of nothing more original than the inexhaustible excuse—headache; but it would not do to lie down in the safe solitude of her own room. No 1 she dared not so in- dulge herself. She would go out and ehop. There was plenty to do in that way. She rang, and called for the ever -ready Watson, and explained that she thought the air would do her good, and sallied forth, leav- ing a message for Mrs. L'Estrange to the effect that Mr. Winton had called and could not come to tea. It was dusk when she returned, feeling utterly worn out. " My dear Nora," cried her step -mother, " here is a letter from Mr. Marsden. I wonder what he would say if he knew that you had let that beautiful ring he gave you drop, and had not taken the trouble to pick it up ?" "Did I ?" with a bewildered look. "Yee ! Bea trod on it as she came in. It is fortunate she is so light." "Ah ! my fraulein, it is not a good omen I" cried the little German governess. " Oh ! we must not talk of omen e How did Bea behave at the dentist's, Helen ?"

At this- juncturaa-friend who called upon me ad- vised me to try Dr. Williams' Pink Pills, and I deeided to follow the advice and pro- cured a dupply. To my gratification I felt an improvement in my condition almost from the outset, and after using the pills for a little over a month, I was once more en- joying the best of health, every trace of the - trouble that had afflicted me having disap- peared. !
