TREVETHAN SPEAKS.
But Thou wilt sin and grief destroy;
That so the broken bones may joy,
And tune together in a well -set song,
Full of His praises,
Who dead menlraises,
Fractures well cured make us more
strong. GEORGE HERBERT
The years had wrought very little
change in Gladys. Outwardly ber
life had been very quiet and unevent-
ful since her last meeting with Don-
ovan, and whateyer anxiety or in-
ward trouble she had had' was not
registered on her fair, open brow, or
in her clear, quiet, blue•gray eyes.
That time was passing quickly, and
that years' lthad elapsed since Dono-
van had been• at Porthkerran was
shown much more clearly by the
change in•Neata, who, from a re-
markably small child, had shot up
into a slim little girl of eight years.
The two sisters were walking to-
gether along the Porthkerran cliffs
one winter afternoon, Nesta telling
an endless fairy tale for the joint
benefit of her doll and her sister,
Gladys listening every now and then
for a few minutes, but a good deal
engrossed with her own thoughts.
The Caustons were spending a
few days with them, and Stephen's
presence was rather tiresome and
embarrassing. She had really come
out chiefly to escape his company,
for the afternoon was not at all
tempting. A strong west wind was
blowing, the sky was dull and lead-
en, the sea gray, and restless, and
stormy. Gladys was not easily af-
fected by weather, but to -day the
dullness seemed to tell on . her. -
There was [something depressing
in the great gray expanse of sea
' your father?' he faltered. It hurt heaving and tossing restlessly, in
Donovan a little, this bald anthro- Il.e long white fringe of foam along
pomorphisw; but recognizing that the coast line, in the heavy gloomy
Ellis was really feeling after the sky. Only one boat was in sight -
underlying truth, he answered: a little pilot boat which had just left

were a shadow of God -a shade.y fearfully; every now and then a
of the great Fatherhood -and the
_shadow can't bo without reality.'
Ellis seemed satisfied. After
that he slept at intervals, murmur-
ing indistinctly every now and then
fragments of the story he had just
heard, or wandering back to recol-
lections of his childhood.
Just as the dawn was breaking,
be came to himself once more,
speaking quite clearly.
should, like you to say the
Lord's Prayer,' he said.
So' together Donovan and the
.dying man said the 'Our Father'
;and sealed their reconciliation.
Then, tremblingly and fearfully,
'Alis -entered the valley of the
shadow of death ! Truly there are
last which shall be first, and first
last 1 The conventionally religious
ituan, the man whose orthodoxy bad
:always been considered beyond dis-
pute, would have died in black
.darkness had not one ray of love
been - kindled in his cold heart by
the forgiveness he solittle deserved,
had not a gleam of truth been giv-
en to him by one who but yester-
day had been an agnostic.
At sunrise he passed away into
the Unseen,
For thirty-six hours Donovan had
been in constant attendance on his
cousin. When all was over he
could no longe' resist the craving
afor air which had for some time
made the sick room intolerable to
him. In the stillness of that early
winter mo'r-ing he left the house
and made his way ;.,to the park. -
The ground was 'bite with frost,
the sky intensely blue, the air sharp
and exhilirating. The outer world
suited his state of mind exactly.-
He was awed and quieted by the
• death bed he had just quitted; but
above the stillndas and above the
awe there was that marvellous sense
of the Eternal which had so lately
dawned for him, a consciousness.
which widened the univdhse, which
gavo new beauty to all around. He
walked on rapidly into t'he bleakest,
most open part of the park, a pe-
culiar elasticity in his step, a light
in his eyes.
It took him back to a day in his
childhood, when his tutor had first
given him some of the most recent
solar discoveries. Ife could clearly
remember the sort of exultant glow
of wonder and awe which had taker'
possession of him; how the whole
world had seemed full of grand pos-
sibilities; how he had rushed out
alone on to the downs near the
manor, and in every blade of grass,
in every tiny flower, in every way-
side stone had seen new wonders --
strange invisible workings which no
one could fathom or grasp. The
vety wind blowing on hip' "heated
brow had been laden *itlithe mar.
great gust of wind threatened to
blow it quite over. She watched
it bending and swaying beneath the
blast, but still making way, until
at length it disappeared in the gray
nriat which shrouded the distance.
Gladys sighed as it passed away
out of sight. It reminded her -
why she scarcely knew -of a life
which for a little while had touched
her life very nearly, of a strong,
determined, resolute man strugg-
ling hard with adverse circum-
stances under a leaden sky of
doubt. He, too, had passed away
into a gray mist. For years she
had heard nothing of him; their
lives were quite severed. Was he.
still under the leaden sky? she
wondered. Was all so fearfully
against him? Was he still toiling
on against wind and tide? A rift
in the clouds made way for a gleam
of sunlight, and it so happened that
the gleam fell on the horizon line
in one golden little spot of bright-
ness. Right in the center of it
she could clearly . make out the
dark sail of the pilot boat. It
brought to her mind a line of
George Herbert -
"The sun still shineth there and here."
And she walked on more hope-
fully, strangely inspirited by that
momentary glimpse of sunlight.
What right had she to doubt that
the sun would shine for him sooner
or later? Might not he, too, have
even now reached the brightness -
lived out his bit of gray?
a 'We will go and see Trevethan,'
she said to little Nesta. 'It is
quite a long time since we heard
anything about him.'
They passed the place where
Donovan had climbed down after
the lost hat, and before many
minutes reached the forge, where
Trevethan was hammering away at
his anvil, the sparks springing up
from the red hot metal like fire
flies. Standing beside the blazing
fire wade little, pale faced girl.
'Good day, miss,' said the black-
smith, glancing round and laying
aside his hammer. 'I am right
glad to see ye, mise. I was acorn•
ing up to the house this very night
to tell ye our good news.'
'News of your son?' asked Gladys,
feeling - certain that nothing less
could have called out such radiant
Sati,faction in Trevethan's face.
'Not news of him, Miss Gladys,
but himself- He's come; he's here
now, and this is his little one, miss,
palled after you. Sack was deter-
mined she should have a good Cor-
nish name. He be out now-more's
the pity -but we be both a•eoming
to -night to see the dootor,to tell him
of Mr Farrant, and how it's all his
doing.'
'Mr Farrant?' questioned Gladys,

was frightened whether I'd give him

'Was your son at St. Thomas's?'
asked Gladys.
'Yes, miss; but Mr Farrant he
he found him out in his own place.
You tell, little one, how you fetched
him to see father.
So little Gladys cold shyly, yet
graphically, too, how she hast gone
one rainy evening to fetch Donoval.;
how be had made her sit by his fire;
how he had held hie umbrella over
her on the way back, and had done
all he could to help them. The
tears would come into Gladys- eyes
for very happiness. Had she not
known that the truth would come
out at last ! Had she not been
right to believe in him without the
slightest proof !
'Will Mr Dono dome to stay with
as again ?' asked Nesta, as they
walked home.
'I don't know, darling,' she re-
plied. 'Some day, perhaps.'
But her heart was dancing with
happiness; that 'perhaps' had a good
deal of assurance in it.
The two Trevethans had a long
interview with the doctor that even-
ing. Such an unexpected opportu-
nity of hearing about Donovan was
not to be neglected, and Dr Tremain
made the most minute inquiries. -
Jack Trevethan was a. very shrewd
fellow; from the most trifling ir:diea-
tions he had long ago guessed all
the facts of the case. He had seen
Donovan flush quickly at the men-
tion of Miss Tremain; had found
that be was no longer on speaking
terms with Stephen Causton; had
put two and two together in the
quick way common to observant
people. Ile was deyoted to Dono-
van sand very eager to do him ser-
vice. Very carefully and minutely
he told Dr Tremain of their, first
meeting in the billiard saloon. Then
for the first time Donovan's true
relation to Stephen transpired. The
doctor could hardly believe that he
had heard rightly. It was such an
entire reversing of all that he had
feared, all that he had unwillingly
believed. Could it indeed be that
Donovan had only tried to keep
Stephen out of evil ? Could he pos-
sibly have gone with him to the
Z— Races merely to prevent bis
going with the set which Trevethan
very graphically described ? The
ex -billiard marker disclosed several
very damaging facts; Stephen had
often visited the saloon with the
same set of students, but Donovan
had never again entered the place.
Gladys could not understand_
why her father looked so worried
and perplexed when he came back
to the drawing room that evening.
Did he not believe the good news?
Must he not be infinitely relieved?
A sudden light was thrown on her
perplexity, however, when her
father spoke.
'I want a word with you, Step-
hen; will you come into the study?
Of course whatever proved Don-
ovan's innocence must at the same
time convict Stephen. She Lad
not thought of that.
Stephen had a sort of presenti-
ment that his time was come. He
followed the doctor into the next
room.
'I have nothing pleasant to tell
you,' began Dr Tremain, speaking
ratherquickly, and in a tone of one
who fears he may lose hie temper.
'I have ,lust had an interview with
a man who was present at a certain
billiard saloon in Villiers Street at
the time you were in the habit of
frequenting it. The man was one
of the markers; he described to me
the one evening when Donovan met
you there and persuaded you to
leave. Is that what you call being
led into temptation by him?'
Stephen turned pale.
'It is exceeding hard that you
take the word of a mere stranger
before mine,' he said. 'This man,
whoever he may be, has no doubt
been instigated by Farrant. Why
should you believe him?'
'Because he has truth written on
his face,' said Dr Tremain, 'and you
have not. Stephen, I do not wish
to be hard on you. I will try not
to prejudge you; but I implore you
to tell me the whole truth.'
To tell the whole truth was un -
fortunately not atall in Stephen's
line, he began to excuse himself.
Tarrant is as hard as nails; he
judges every one by himself. Be-
cause he had once been a regular
gambler was no reason that I
should follow his example. He'd
no business to spy on me.'
'Take care,' said the doctor,
quickly; 'your own words are con-
demning you.'
'It is you who force me to con-
demn myself,' said Stephen, sullen-
ly. Then after a pause he all at-
once
tonce broke down and buried his
face in his hands. 'If Gladys could
have loved me,' he sobbed, 'it
would all have been different; it's
been my love for her that has un-
done me, made me want to seem
better than I was.'
The doctor, at once sorrowful
and angry, paced the room in sil-
ence; but there was something so
selfish in Stephen's confession that,
in spite of himself, the anger would
predominate.
'Yon call by the name of love
what was nothing more than mere
selfish desire,' be said, sternly.
'How could you dare to ask any

but you have utterly misled me -

all others I would have treated
with greatest delicacy -greatest
justice. How could you tell me
such lies? Had you no generosity
-no sense of gratitude?'
Stephen cowered underthe storm
but kept Silence.
Presently, in the saddening con-
sciousness of his own giiovous
mistake, the doctor's anger died
away.
'I will say no more; it is scarcely
fair to reproach youwith your own
hastiness of judgment, my own
want of insight,' hesaid, in a voice
full of sorrow, which reproached
Stephen far more than his anger.
'But when I think of what Dono-
van has borne in silence, from the
very people too who should have
been his best friends, it is almost
more than I can endure.'
Stephen's better nature begun to
show itself at last; his heart smote
him as he realized all the pain his
deceit had caused.. He left off" ex-
cusing himself, and somewhat falt-
eringly told the story from the very
beginning, revealing the sort of
double life he had led for so many
years -wild and self indulgent when
alone, falsely religious and proper
''hen with his mother. The doctor
was very good to him, promised to
help him as far as he could by
speaking to Mrs Causton, and per-
haps for the first time thoroughl y
awakened Stephen's love and re.
spect. Before they parted that
night they had discussed tbe future
as well as the :past, and Stephen
had Blade up his mind to go abroad
to try with all his might to redeem
his name.
• Trevethan had after all been de-
tained at St Thomas's later than
Donovan had expected. He had
learned at the hospital that his
friend had not gone out to the war,
that instead he was nursing some
relation. This was all he could
tell Dr Tremain, but of course the
impulsive doctor, even with such
slight information, prepared to go
up to London at once. Letters
had failed so signally before that
he would no longer trust them; he
must see Donovan to explain mat-
ters fully, to apologize as he wished.
Some cruel fate seemed to have
ordained that he should always have
to endure a most irksome time of
waiting in the York Road lodging
house. Donovan was of course not
at home; the old captain was out,
but was expected in an hour's time;
he was the only person who knew
Mr Farrant's address. The land-
lady invited the doctor to come in
and wait. The room seemed very
dull and quiet; the only trace of
Donovan which it bore was in a
sheet of writing paper pinned up in
a conspicuous place over the mantel
piece,whereon was inscribed a high
flown but affectionate declaration
that John Frewin, late captain of
the Metora, bound himself hereby
to touch no alcoholic drink until the
return of his friend Donovan Far
rant. •
Apparently the old man had kept
bis pledge, for he came in before
long looking exceedingly respectable
and sober. Dr Tremain had to
listen to the whole account of the
drawing up of the paper, the sur-
prise it was to be to the captain's
'dearfrrieiid'and benefactor,' and the
dreariness of the place without him,
before he could elicit Donovan's ad-
dress from the talkative old gentle-
man. Even then Rouge tried to
scare him with terrific accounts of
the small pox.
At length, however, he was really
on his way to Connaught Square;
by this time it was evening, and
when he reached the house it seemed
dark and deserted. He rang, and,
after a long delay, was admitted. -
Phoebe eyed him with some suspi-
cion; but, hearing that he was a
doctor, she let him come in, and
showed him into the dining room,
lighting the gas for his benefit. -
Then for the first time they discov-
ered that Donovan was stretched
out on the sofa fast asleep.
'Don't wake him,' said the doctor; �
'I'm m in no hurry, and will wait. I
suppose he has had very bard work.
Is Mr Farrant any better ?'
'You have not heard, sir? He
died early this morning,' replied
Phoebe, gravely. ' Mr Donovan
should have rested before, but we
couldn't persuade him; there has
been many things to see to to -day,
for they say the funeral must be to-
- .
Neither the lights nor the voices
roused the sleeper. By and by
Placebo went away, and the doctor
waited with eagerness not unmixed
with anxiety for the awaking, re-
membering with a pang their last
parting at the station, recalling
painfully the last words whioh even
then had touched him : 'All I ask
is that you will just forget me.'
At last a noise in the square
roused Donovan; he started up,
rubbed his eyes, caught sight of
Dr Tremain, and sprung to his
feet.
'You here' be exclaimed, in
astonishment and then a sudden

Donovan's eyes lighted up, but

Stephen in the slightest degree.
'1. learned all from Trevethan's
son,' continued the sector. 'And
then a very few questions brought
out the whole truth from Stephen.
Oen you forgive us, Donovan, for
misjudging you so abominably?'
'It was my own fault -my own
doing -at any rate,' said Donovan,
smiling. 'You were very slow to
judge me at all, and it seemed beet
all round that you should believe
me to be in the wrong.'
It shielded d Ste h
p en, -of ,curse,
said the doctor; 'but he did not de-
serve shielding, and it gave the
rest of us a great deal of pain. It
was very generous of you, but
surely mistaken.'
'I asked you to forget me,' said
Donovan. 'I •hoped and believed
you would do so. It was not only
or chiefly for Stephen's sake. I
believed that it would be better in
every way.'
'You said so when we last saw
each other,' said the doctor; 'but
even now I cannot see why it was
necessary. And why did you re-
fuse to come to us that summer,
and then tell me you' invented an
excuse? Was that in any way
connected with 'Stephen? Can you
not tell me now why you could not
come?'
'Yes,' replied Donovan, with a
strange thrill -in bis voice, 'I can
tell you even that now. I could
not come because I loved your
daughter. I was not sure that I
could not • help showing it; I
thought -it may have been pre-
sumptuous to think .so -that she
might possibly care for me. It
was right, I think, to go, and I
hoped that she -that you all -
would forget me. ,
'And little Gladys was the one
who told me from the very first
that I must be mistaken, that I had
judged you wrongly,' said the doc-
tor, rather huskily. 'We have all
beep very poor hands at forgetting
you, Donovan; do you want us to go
on with the dreary farce any long-
er? Will you not come back to ud'
