CHAPTER VI.
Orville stairs Frithiof was way-
laid by Mr Morgan; it was with a
sort of surprise that he heard his
yawn calm replies to the English-
man's polite speeches, and regrets,
and inquiries as to when he return-
ed'to, Norway, for all the time his
;head was swimming, and it was
astonishingthat he could frame a
correct English phrase. The ,thought
occurred to him that Mr Morgan
would be glad enough to get rid of
him and to put an end to so uncom
fortable a visit; he could well im-
agine the shrug of relief with which
the Englishman would return to his
fireside, with its aggressively grand
fender and fire irons, and would
say to himself, 'Well, poor devil, I
am .glad _ be is gone! A most pro-
voking business from first to last.'
For to the Morgans the affair would
probably end as soon as the door
closed behind him, but for himself
it would drag on and on indefinite-
ly. He walked on mechanically
past the great houses which, to his
;f . unaccustomed eyes, looked so pala-
tial; every little trivial thing seem-
ed to obtrude itself upon him; he
noticed the wan, haggard looking

g';that one brief half hour had
enenough to change his whole
.,tobring him from the highest
int of hope and eager anticipa-
tion to the lowest depth of wretch-
edness. The endless succession of
great, monotonous houses grew in-
tolerable to him; he crossed the road
and turned into Kensington Gar-
dens, aware, as the first wild ex-
citement died down in his heart, of
a cold, desolate blankness the misery
of which appalled him. What was
the meaning of it all? How could
it possibly be borne? Only by de-
grees did it dawn upon his over-
wrought brain that Blanche's faith-
lessness had robbed him of much
,amore than her love. It had left
'm stripped and wounded on, the
highway of life; it had taken from
hie all belief in woman; it had made
forever impossible for him his old
creed of the joy of mere existence;
it hail' killed his youth. Was •he
now to get up, and crawl on, and
drag through the rest of his life as
best might be Why, what was
life worth to him now? He had
been a fool ever to believe in it; it
was as she herself had once told
him, he had believed that it was
all sufficient merely because he had
never known unhappiness -never
known the agony that follows when
for
"The hrst time Nature says plain
`No'
To some 'Yes' in you, and walks over
you
In gorgeous sweeps of scorn."
His heart was so utterly dead
that he could not even think of his
shome; neither his father nor Sigrid
imp before him as he looked down
that long,dreary vista of life that lay
beyond. He could see only that
Blanche was 116 longer his; that the
Blanche be had loved and beleived
in had never really exiated; that he
:Y had been utterly deceived, cheated,
defrauded; and that something had
been taken from him which could
/lever return.
q will not live a day longer,' he
said to himself; 'not an hour longer.'
And in the relief of having some
attainable thing to desire ardently,
were it only death and anliihila•
lien, he quickened his pace and felt
a sort of renewal of energy and
life within him, urging him on,
bolding before him the one aim
which he thought was worth pur-
truing. • Ile would end it all quick-

dresses of those who passed by him,
the sound of their voices, the
strange incongruity of their pe"fect-
ly unconcerned, contented faces.
He would get away from all this --
would wait till it was dusk, then he
could steal down unnoticed to the
water: Buoyed tip to Ms last hope
of relief, he walked along the north
shore of the Serpentine, passed the
Receiving House of the `Royal
Humane Society with an uncon-
cerned thought that his lifeless
body would probably' be takenthere,
passed the boat house with a fer-
vent hope that no one there would
try a rescue, and at length, finding
a seat under a tree close to the
water's edge, sat down to wait for
the darkness. It need not be for
long, tor al Featly the sun was set-
ting, and over towards the west he
could see that behind the glowing
orange and russet of ' the autumn
trees was a background of crimson
sky. The pretty little wooded
island and the round green boat
house on the shore stood out in
strong relief; swans and ducks swam
about contentedly; on the farther
bank was a dark fringe of trees;
-away to the left the three arches
of a grey stone bridge. In the ev-
ening light made a feir picture, but
the beauty of it seemed only to
harden hire, for it reminded him of
past happiness; be turned with
sore hearted relief to the nearer
view of the Serpentine gleaming
coldly as its waters washed the
shore, and to the dull monotony
of the path in front of him with
its heaps of brown leaves. A bird
sat singing in the beech tree above
him; it also jarred on him just as
much as the beauty of the sun-
set, it seemed to urge him to leave
the place where he was not needed;
to take himself out of a world
which was meant for beauty and
brightness and success, a world
which had no sympathy for failure
or misery. ' He longed for the song
to cease, and he longed for the
sunset glory to fade, he was im-
patient for the end; the mere wait-
ing for that brief interval became
to him almost intolerable; only the
dread of 'being rescued held hien
hack.
Presently footsteps on the path
made him look up; a shabbily
dressegirl walked slowly by; she
was abdbrbed in a newspaper story
and did not notice him; neither
did she notice her charge, a pale
faced, dark eyed little girl of about
six years old who followed her at
some distance, chanting a pretty,
monotonous, little tune as she
dragged a toy cart along the gravel.
Frithiof, with the preternatural
powers of observation which seem-
ed his that day, noticed in an in-
stant every tiniest detail of the
child's face and dress and bearing,
the curious anatomy of the wooden
horse, the heap of golden leaves in
the little cart. As the child drew
nearer, the . words of the song be-
came perfectly audible to him. She
sang very slowly, and in a sort of
unconscious way, as if she Couldn't
help it.
"Comfort every sufferer,
Watching late in pain
She paused to put another handful
of leaves into the eart, arranged
them with great care, patted the
wooden steed, arid -Ws -dined her
song as if there had been no inter.
! u ption-
"Those who plan some eyil,
From their sin restrain."
Frithiof felt as if a knife had
been suddenly plunged into him;
he tried to hear more, but the words
died away; he could only follow
the monotonous little tune in the
clear voice, and the rattling of the
toy cart on the pathway. And so
the child passed on out of sight,
and he saw he no more.
He was alone again, and the
twilight for which he had longed
was fast closing in upon him; a sort
of blue haze seemed gathering over
the park; night was coming on.
Whit was this horrible new strug-
gle which was beginning within
him? 'Evil,"'sin,' could he not at
least do what he would with his
own life? What was the harm in
ending that which was hopelessly
spoilt and ruined? Was not suicide
a perfectly legitimate ending of life?
A. voice within him answered his
question plainly.
'To the man with a deceased
brain -the man who doesn't know
what be is about -it is no worse an
end -than to die in bed of a fever.
But to you --you are afraid of the
suffering of life, you who know
quite well what you are doing- to
you it is sin.'
Fight against it as he would, he
could not stifle this new conscious -
nue: which had arisen within him.
Wliat• had' led him; he angrily
wondered, to choose that particular
place to wait in? What bad
made that child walk past ? What
bad induced her to sit g those par-
Pi,tcaher's Ca -Coria.
As a matter of fact the sunset
sky and fading light had suggested
to the little one's untroubled mind
the familiar eveniug hymn with its
graphic description of scenery, its
beautiful word painting, its wide
human sympath'ies;and that great
mystery of life which hues us to-
gether whether we know it or not
gave to the child the power to
counteract the influence of Blanched
Morgan's faithlessness, and to ap-
peal to one to whom the sigh;. of
that game sunset had suggested
only thoughts of despair.
A wild confusion of memories
seemed to rash through bis mind,
and blended with them always, were
the welcome words and the quiet
little chant. He was back at home
again talkiug with the old pastor
who had prepared him for confirma•
tiou; he was a mere boy once more,
unhesitatingly accepting all that he
was taught; he was atandiug up in
the great crowded Bergen Church
and declaring his belief in Christ,
and his entire willingness to give
up everything wrong; he was climb-
ing a mountain with Blanche and
arguing with her that life -more
existence -was beautiful and desir-
able.
Looking back afterwards on the
frightful struggle, it seemed to him
that for ages he had tossed to and
fro in that horrible hesitation. In
reality --gall :must have been over.
within a quarter of an hour. There
rose before him the recollection of
his father as he had last seen him
standing on the deck of the steam-
er, and he remembered the tone of
his voice as he had said:
'I look to you, Frithiof, to oaf ry
out the aims in which I myself have
failed, `to live the life that I could
wish to have livecl.',
He sew once again the wistful
look in his father's eyes, the ming•
led love, pride, and anxiety with
which she had turned to him, loath
to let him go, and yet eager to
speed him on his way. Should he
now disappoint all his hopes?
Should be deliberately and iu the
full possession of all his faculties,
take a step which must bring ter-
rible suffering to his home people;
And then he remembered for the
first time that already trouble and
vexation and loss had overtaken
his father; he knew well how great-
ly he would regret the connection
with the English firm, and pictured
to himself the familiar house in
Kalvedalen with a new and un-
familiar cloud upon it, till instead
of the longing for death there came
to him a nobler longing -a longing
to go back and help, a longing to
make up to his father for the loss
and vexation and the slight which
had been put upon him. He
began to feel ashamed of the other
wish, he began to realize that there
was still something to be lived for,
though indeed life looked to him as
dim and uninviting as the twlight
park with its wreaths of gray mist,
and its unpeopled solitude.
Yet still he would live; the other
thought no longer allured him, his
strength and manliness were re-
turning; with bitter resolution he
tore himself from the vision of
Blanche which rose mockingly be-
fore him, and getting up, made his
way out of the park.
Emerging once more into the
busy world of traffic at .Hyde Park
Corner, the perception of his forlorn
desolateness, came to him with far
more force than in the quiet path
by the Serpentine. For the first
time he felt keenly that he was in
an unknown city, and there came
over him a sick longing for Nor way,
for dear old Bergen, for the famili-
ar mountains, the familiar faces, the
friendly greetings of passers by.
For a few minutes he stood still,
uncertain which road to take, won-
dering how in the world he should
get through the weary hours of his
solitary evening. Close by him a
young man stood talking to the
occupants of a brougham which
was drawn up by the pavement; he
heard a word or two of their talk,
dimly, almost uhconsciously.
'Is the result of the trial known
yet?'
'Yee, five years' penal servitude
and no more than he deserves.'
'The poor children! what will
become of them?'
-Shall you be home by ten?' we
won't hinder you, then.'
'Quite by ten. Tell father that
Sardoni is free for the night he
wanted him; I met him just now.
Good bye.' Then to the coachmen
'Home!'
The word startled Frithiof back
to the recollection of his own affairs;
he had utterly lost his bearings and
must ask for direction. He would
accost this man who seemed a little
less in a hurry than the rest of the
world.
'Will von kindly tell me the way
to the Arundel Hotel?' be asked.
The young man turned at the
sound of his voice, looked keenly

'What a lucky chance that we

Frithiof, at the first word of
hearty greeting, looked up with
startled .eyes,, and in .,the dim gas-
light he claw the . honest English
face and kindly eyes of Roy Beni -

Cecil. And indeed 1 do want you

'And I am sure I don't knots'
what I should do without you ifJ

which had started to her eyes, 'so I
don't know why I am so anxious
that it should come about, except
that I should like to see you happy.'
'And so I am happy, perfectly
happy,' said Cecil, and as she spoke
by the doctors that there was no i she suddently bent forward and
'Well, *ell, I hole you are,' said
lits Boniface with a sigh. 'But
anyway it's more than you ;ook,
-child.'
And the mother thought moist•
fully of two graves in a distant I
cemetery where Cecil's sisters lay;
and ebe. remembered with a cruel
pang that only a few days ago some
friend had remarked to her, with
the thoughtless frankness of a rapid
talker, 'Cecil is looking so pretty
just now, but ape's got the con -
emotive look in her face, don't
you think?' And these words lay
rankling in the poor mother's heart,
even though she' had been assured
disease, no great delicacy even, no
cause whatever for 'ailkiety.
'I am glad we have seen Dr Roy-
ston,' said Cecil, 'because now we
shall feel quite co❑sfortable, • and
you won't be anxious any more,
mother. It would be dreadful, I .
think, to have .to be a sort of semi- i
invalide all one's life, though I '
suppose coals people must enjoy it,
since Dr Royston said that half the
girls in London were invalided
just for want of sensible work. 11
rather believe, mother, that is what
has been the matter with me,' and
she laughed.
'You, my dear!' said Mrs Boni-
face; 'I am sure you are not at all ,
idle at hone. No one could say
such a thing of you.' , -
'But I am always having to in•
vent things to do to keep myself
busy,' said Cecil. 'Mother, I have
got a plan in my head now that
would settle my work for five whole
years, and I do so want you to say
'yes' to it.'
'It isn't that you -want to go in-
to some sisterhood?' asked Mrs Bon-
iface, her gentle gray eyes filling
with tears.
'Oh, no, no,' said Cecil emphati-
cally. 'Why, how could I ever go
away from home and leave yon,
darling, just as I am getting old
enough to be of use to you? It is
nothing of that kind, and the worst
of it is that it would moan a good
deal of expense to father, which
seems hardly fair.'
'He won't grudge that,' said Mrs
•Boniface. 'Your father would do
auyt'lingto please you, dear. What
is this plan? Let me hear about
it.'
'Well, the other night when I
was hearing all about those poor
Grantleys opposite to us -how the
mother had left her husband and
children and gone off no one knows
where, and then how the father
had forged that check and would
certainly be imprisoned, 1 began to
wonder when sort of a chance the
children had in the world. And no
one seemed to know or to care what
would become them, except father,
and be said we mast try to get them
into some asylum or school.'
'It isn't many asylums that would
care to take them, 1 expect,' said
Mrs Boniface. 'Poor Little things,
there is a hard fight before them!
But what was your plan?'
'Why, mother, it was iust to
persuade father to lee them come
to us for the five years. Of course
it would be an expense to him, hut
I would teach them, and help to
take care of them; and, oh, it would
be so nice to have children about
the house! One can never -be dull
where there are children.'
'1 knew she was dull at home,'
thought the mother to herself. 'It
was too much of a change for her
to come back from school, from so
many educated people and young
friends, to an ignorant old woman
like me and a silent house. Not
that the child would ever allow
it.'
'But of course, darling,' said
Cecil, 'I won't say a word more
about it if you think it would
trouble you or make the house too
noisy,'
'There is plenty of room for
them, poor little mites,' said Mrs
Boniface. 'And the plan is jest
like you,, dear. There is only one
objection I have to it. 1 don't like
your binding yourself to work for
so many years --not just now while
you are so young. - I should have
liked you to marry, dear.'
'But I don't think that is likely,'
said Cecil. 'And it does seem so
stupid to let the time pass on and
do nothing for years and years just
because there is a chance that some
man who you could accept may pro-
pose to you. Tho chances are quite
equal that it may not be so, and
then you have wasted a great part

`I wish you were not cut off from

THE PROOF OF THE PUD-
DING
Have you humors, causing blotches'?
Does your blood run think and sluggish?
Are you drowsy, dull and languid?
is a bad taste in your month, and
Is your tongue all furred and coated?
Is your sleep with bad dreams broken?
Do you feel downhearted, dismal,
Dreading something what you know not?
Then be very sure you're bilious -
That you have a torpid liver.
And what you need is something
to rouse it and make it active
enough to throw off the impurities
that clog it; some times to invigo-
rate the debiliated system and
hold all the organs t'o perform
the duties expected of them,
promptly and energetically. That
