"Como and spend the day with the tu.morrow-and you'll come next week of course ?" Renee promised the soiree, but not the next slay. Ludy Laura, however, insisted wt her cawing to dinner, at any rate, ,and would take no refusal. Would Sydney be there? the girl wonder- ed ; but there was no shrinking from the. meeting -no fear of him. She felt that she would like to see him again ; but as she mioiit wish to see an old friend merely, with a. something of tenderness in the feeling, that wit all. She was out that evening -an engagement already made, and so she could not escape it ; but all the evening she was longing for huttie--hoping there was some letter or mes- sa4e from her husband. '.And when site returned home, she went straight to the hall table, and, among three or four letters, fouud one addressed to her in her husband's writing. Sho took them all up with her to her dressing -room, and told her maid, when she had removed her ball toilette, to give her a dressing -gown, and then she could go to bed, \Idlle. Louise, glad to got to rest, was quick enough over her task, though scarcely quick enough for Renee's se'erot impatience. Once alone, the girl took up the letters. Clairvaulx's first? Nay, though her heart was beating enol her fingers trembling, she• opened the other three first, but scarcely skimmed their contents ; and then the letter. As a girl with her first love letter=tremu- Inus with the sweet longing which shyness holds in cheek -so was Renee with that let- ter ; her first love letter, though it camo from her husband. Kneeling by the table, her cheeks flushed, her dark eyes glowing, she held the letter in her hands. " How good of you," eho whispered, ten- derly, and then she softly laid the envelope to her lips and started like a guilty- thing, es if someone had been present and seen tho het, " What does he say ?" she mused. "Perhaps only a few lines this time," She hati opened the envelope now, and slowly, timidly dre,v oat the letter and opened it. MY 1)7':AuEST, Jest few lines, so that yon may get this "just I found Hendeon very ill indeed, and he clings so much to me. It will be some time certainly, before I can leave him. I am hoping to hoar from you some time to -marrow. I wonder if you missed ore mach, my treasure? Speak to me, when yon write, from your heart, if vuu can ; my heart is always with you. God keep you, my precious wife. Yo. rever loving, " ECSTACE," Renee read the loving words again and yet again, until she must have read them a dozen times. Did alto know the truth new ? Why was it not clear to her this morning? Why not ten days ago, when she had begged her husband to save her from possible wrong ? " I love him ! I love him 1" rang through her whole being, like some grand, sweet song. ' Why had she been so blind ? She might have known it weeks ago. But this dove was something new, something to which her love for Sydney Dene had been as a winter's dawn to the full blaze of the south- ern sun in summer time. And yet, ten days ago, when she cried out so passionately that she had never wished her marriage undone, she did .not know it. To -day, when her husband helder in bis arms and his kiss Made every terve in her body quiver, she did not know that she loved him with all her heart. And Sydney Dene? " I never loved him," she said, as once more sinking on her knees she pressed her burning lips to her husband's precious letter. " I never knew what love was till Eustace taught ane, but I know it now; oh! I know it now." Yet, in the letter she wrote next morning' to her husband, she did not tell him her eyes were fully opened. Nor did she say that she was going to meet Sydney Dene to- day ; there was instinctive delicacy in this. Why should she needlessly drag before her husband the name of tho man be thought she, perhaps, loved still ? But Sho wrote a long letter, and said, "I do miss you so. unr n. I hope you won't he long away," ,.1 she signed it, after some hesitation, and Ler hand trembled as she wrote, "Your own Renee." When Renee entered Lady Laura's draw- ing•rocrn that day, she saw at first only her llostuts, who came forward, greeting her warmly ; but even as Lady Laura spoke someone else came forward, and Renee Clair- vaulx was face to face with her old lover. " Mr. Dene tells me you have niet before," said Lady Laura; as if she had only heard it ton minutes ago. Renee had changed color a little as she halal out her hand, but certainly she was far thu L. ,.,t self-possessed of the two; naturally enough, since she had no personal sense of loss. But Dene flushed for a moment to his temples, and could not speak a word ; it was Renee who cane to the rescue, with gentle words of greeting, and so covered tho other's embarrassment and gave him time to recover himself, The almost immediate announcement of dinner caused a welcome diversion, and as they were seating themselves Lady Laura remarked- " I suppose Sir Eustace will be away some time, Renee?" " He doesn't know ; it depends how long his friend is ill." 't 40 yQu are tquitte, disQansolate.?" was the 'aughipg remark. Ranee laughed too, veiling her real feelings, "I want him to come back," she said, "but if his friend wants him, he must re- main." "True philosophy, my dear. And how are you getting on with Louise?" "I shall give her notice 'to•day, Lady Laura, it is no use ; she makes mischief aoniehow below, and I caught her reading a letter of mine -not an important one, be- cause I never leave them about -but I don't choose that sort of thing." "All servants will read letters,fi ea id Sydney Deno, "but making mischief Is a more serious thing." Renee assented and changed the subject ; she detested talking about her servants. Had Sydney Dene changed for the bet- ter, she tbonght, listening to him and con- versing with him ? In some things, yes ; in others, hardly. He knew more ; talked better; was now thoroughly hontnse du monde -et de Societe, but she missed the freshness of old times, for which his new graces were only a poor compenss,tion. He seemed to think lightly of many,things that he would at one time have condemned, and in many ways scarcely to bo defined, yet none the leas clear to Renee, showed her that he had morally deteriorated. She was pained, disappointed. "And I used to think Syd such a hero 1" said Renee to herself. " He is a very nice fellow, and clever, toe, and I am very fond of him, but he isn't a hero, and I didn't love him really. I should have found that out if we had been married." She had just seated herself et a lounge in the drawing -room, for as that thought pas• -pad through her mine and Sydney Deno stood opposite to her, Lady Laura had left there at the door to go and search for a book she wanted to lend Renee, and which none but herself (she said) could fled, so the two who had once been lovers were alone to. gether. There was only a moment's silence, which Renee the next would have broken, when Dene crossed the rug and sat down by the girl's side. "I wonder," he said, smiling, "if you find me tnuch changed since we met last ?" "Outwardly, do you mean 2" she asked, smiling. " If so, yes -a little -not much." " And otherwise ?'' " I don't know. Yee, you are changed, and for the better in some respects." "But for the worse in others. Ie that what you moan?" " You asked the question, , you know, Sydney; I did not volunteer information;" " How good of you to call me Sydney," said the young man, earnestly. " And may I call you Renee ?" "I suppose so. Why not ?" " Wouldn't you husband object 2" "No ; why should he ?" " That's no reason, but, at any rate, until he does I have your permission. Well, then, Renee, in what amha I changed for the worse ?" The girl colored a little. "Oh ! you mustn't ask me to be personal," she said. "It is nothing vorybad, I can tell you that." "Don't atop there," he urged ; "we are still friends -very dear friends, I hope 2" He paused. "Yes," Renee said, gently, "very dear friends always, Sydney." "Thank you a thousand times." His voice was a little husky. Ho went en, after a moment's silence- "And ono ` likes to know how one stands in a friend's eyes, for good or for evil. So won't you be oandid with me Renee 2" "If you really wish it." She raised her eyes to his for a minute- their glance was as pure and . guileless as a child's ; but Sydney Dene shunned the look he could- not' meet in the same way: He chafed, too, under her comparative indiffer- ence; which he could see was not all as- sumed. Perhaps there doesnotbreatbe the man who is willing to find himself, having once been a lover, forgotten save as a friend, even though rememberance involve sin and un- happiness in the woman ; but a high-minded man will at least strive for such self-abnega- tion. Sydney Dene did not strive ; on the contrary, he nursed a passion that striven with, or even left alone, would in the course of time have died a natural death ; and he hoped and longed to see some signs that Renee still loved him -a hope which Lady Laura had encouraged by her assurances that Lady Clairvaulx did not love her husband. Bitter was the disappointment when Renee made it so plain to him that she regarded hint as no more than a friend. Butyet there is safety in friendship -a perilous safety for a young and inexperienced girl. Perhaps in this hour Sydney Deno did not make a dis- tinct and definite resod ve to try and win an- other man's wife ; but the intention, if not fully acknowledged to himself, was in his heart. Easy indeed is the descent to Aver- nus! He answered Renee with a' smile. "I do wish it --well ?" "Then, " she said, "you must not be of- fended at what I say." "As if I could be offended with you, Renee 1" "You might be ; men are vain mortals. I think you have grown a bit worldly, Sydney -and-you promised not to be vexed, you know -you don't seem to think about some things asyou used to." - He turned aside a little. "I believe you're right," he said, in a low tone. "I feel it myself sometimes. The world has spoiled me, Renee ; you ntust re- form nae." But Renee shook her head. Young though she was, she knew that the "minis- tering angel" role, though it had no dangers for her, would not bo wife for her compan- ion. "Reform, like charity, begins at home, Syd," she said, more iightly than she had hitherto spoken. "Not for men ; they're never any gx"l un- less a women helps them." What Dene'a answer to' this might have 1-een, is problematical. The entrance of 0 • 1 Lady Laura prevented it and immensely re- Wed Renee, who now rose, incl pleading anothar engagement took her leave. A night or two later she met Sydney, again at a dance and danced twice with him, And. aa he took care not to startle her by any lover -like conduct, they got on famously to- gether; Renee feeling the perfect security of immunity from any affection that could interfere with her love for ber husband, and believing that young Dene had loyally ac- cepted the inevitable, and had nothing in his heart in regard to her that could wrong Euatace Clairvaulx'a wife ; and all the while he -and Lady Laura Harwood looking on- laid to his soul the flattering unction thtbt Renee was drifting back tato the old love under the beguiling glamour of "friend- ship." During the next week these two met often. By chance sometimes, as 'Renee innocently believed, but in truth always by design on Dene's part, or that of his friend and con- fidante, Lady Laura. Clairvaulx was still unable to leave his friend ; but his daily let- ters were his wife's chief, ber only real plea. sure, and she wrote back to him letters that filled his heart with hope that at timea seem- ed all but certainty ; yet she never in words told him she loved him, and she did not men- tion Sydney Dena. One day a letter came for her that made her clasp her hands with a low cry of de. light. It was a fortnight after Clairvaulx left London. Henderson was now so much better, that his friend would soon bo able to leave him. "In a few days," he. wrote, "I hope to be with you." A few days ! Renee was as happy ai a bird, and she answered an invitation of Lady Laura's tentatively, if her husband carne Borne she would not be able to keep it. Renee, Lady Laura had asked to join her and Sydney Dene at the theatre. Lady Laura would call for her young friend its the carriage ; when Renee's answer came, Lady Laura was alone. She clenched the letter in her hand, and rising rang the bell. "We must make a bold stroke now," she said, "or all will be lost." She went to her davenport, and wrote a hasty note to Dene, despatching it by the servant who answered her summons. In ten minutes more Sydney was with her. "Sydney," said Lady. Laura, "Renee ac- cepts my invitation for the day after to. morrow, with a proviso. Sho expects •her husband home; if he comes, she cannot keep the engagement. Do you follow me?" The young man turned pale. "Do you mean that I—" he began. 7,„ Ill, �. /_( •1 10/0: "That you can persuade her to elope with you ? No, roan ; not yet. Sho must be first compromised in her husband's eyes -afraid to meet him -do you understand me? And then is your opportunity. She loves you ; she only obeys him." Dene drew his breath quickly. "B'tt why," he said hoarsely, "do you de- sire this ," "Why ,' she rose d stood erect before him -"because once loved Eustace Clair- vaulx, and he scorned me. Are you answer- ed 2" "Yes." Ho dropped' his face in his hands for a moment. Had he fallen so'low ?" "Do you falter 2" asked Lady Laura. "Aro, no 1" He sprang to his feet. "She shall be mine -by whatever means 1" "Then listen. When you return home write to her a lover's letter, promising to call for her on Thursday for the theatre. When written bring it with you to me. If Clairvaulx returns to -morrow we mnat try other means. If not, I will tell you how to act, and it will be strange if Clairvaulx be- lieves in his wife's innocence. Renee is just the woman to fire up under a false accusa- tion, and oven refuse to justify herself. Go and write your letter, and to -morrow return to me." CHAPTER XII. Reneo sat in the drawing -room on Thurs- day evening, waiting for Lady Laura's carri- age. How lovely she looked in her antique dress of pale green plush with gold erna- nts ! but there was a shade on her brow. lairvaulx had written to say he should probably not return until Friday morning. The door opened, and the footman an- nounced, "Mr. Dene," and in walked Syd- ney. Renee rose up in surprise, "Why, Sydney 1" she said. "Is anything the matter ? Where is Lady Laura ?" "Sho sends a thousand apologies," he an- swered, "and slopes you will accept her sub- stitute. She has a splitting headache, but will join us later on if she can ; so I have called in a hansom. I)o you mind ?" He had caught up her mantle, and was putting it round her shoulders. "No," she said, "I don't mind. But I am sorry Lady Laura is ill. Shall I order the carriage?" "It will make us so late, Renee. I am rather late already." "Very well." "Ho gave her his arm and they went out, and a minute biter drove off. \Idllo. Louise looked cut of an upper win. dow, and smiled to herself maliciously. Then site descended to the drawing -room. "If monsieur should return to -night," she muttered, "there is a little cadeau for him. You dismiss me, madame ; take care you are not dismissed," At half -past ten another hansom stopped outside the house in Park Lane, and a tell man sprang out. The next moment the door -hell rang, and the door opened to ad- mit the master of the house. "Ie Lady Clairvaulx at home?" was his 7'1,-4 continued. Diamond Tea. The Only Genuine, Safe Cure.
