"I have never acted and 1 might spoil everything • by stage fright. Let bliss Thornton have the pat of the wife. She would be great in it," she said; and stately Josie thanked her with a grate- ful look.

The rector stet than bright, kind gimee with sincere pleasure, for he had grown to know Loraine quite well now, he thought. Since that night of the ]aw•n•pnrty, when she had thrown herself into his arms for protoetionfrotn the phantom of her excited imagination, they had never been able to return to the first forntality of their acquaint- nucr. A quiet friendship had grown up between them that was very plensattt to both, for as yet no thought of dis- loyalty to his loved Vivian had ever touched the u171at'e mink He loved her truly and devotedly, and .hie loyalty...to Tier did not seem to clash with the oto miratiol he felt for glorious Loraine. If at times a swift memory eatne of the weld moment in which she had reefed heavily against his breast in the moon• Iight, it was sternly banished, Ile trust not even remember that moment, he told himself in stern rectitude. Arcady, rending the production of the poet's play, became a scene of confusion and joyous 'excitement. Invitations were sent for and near for donee, and cos- tumes for "Her Fatal ,Vow" were,or. dered front Philadelphia.

Ile did not confide these thoughts to Vivian, for ho did not wish to disturb her; she lay so pale and languid on the blue satin cushions of the pretty coueh in the boudoir, where she rested day ni- ter tiny before elle could with safety be removed to the rectory.

As the pleasiuttsuunuer days glided away at Arcady each one brought some new pleasure and amusement to Lor- aiine's guests. She was a model hostess, and held daily consultation with them over novel and pleasant plans for their happiness. So it happened that each in turn had the oportutity to gratify tnsto and fancy. When it became Josie Thornton's turn she owned to 0 passion for amateur the- atricals. "I hive 10 act;" 0110 said.

The squire, while fond and loving, was very tutdecetstra- tive, and as months wont by accepted the fact of his married bliss with n etinnmss that stung the passionate, um disciplined girl into resentment.

Driven desperate by her secret fears and wounded pride, '4'icivam cor,catded to fill the old G'rnnge with company and throw herself into o 01111.1 of excitement that would give her no time to think. Among the guests in- vited was a beautiful brunette, Stella Utero, a boarding-sebool friend of Vi. vi0u; 141 with the entrance of this girl :111011 the scene eetemenced the tragedy t' the young wife's life, for her friend WIN a heartless coquette, and looked up- on ell Wren as her lawful prey. Pre long she had the squire in her toils, and his interest in her became so strong that he almost forgot the existence of his gen- tle, blue-eyed bride, Who now became a prey to intense and illy, concealed ,jeal- ousy, There followed, in n few brief months, the wrecking of a 1tupJ4y home through the wiles of a beautiful siren, her disgraceful flight with her friend's husband, tted her vote, in her lend infat- uation for him, to compass Vivian's death. that she might wed the men she ivns. destroying with her fatal love.

Cruel Stella remembered with a fien- dish joy her rival's passion for flowers. Sto' had seen her often bending with en gar 1,101011re to inhale time de]bcioas crime from the hearts of rich mem- son em-soil roses steeped in sunshine and dew, She longed to place in Vivian's way the linlierm,jnh, the deadly death -plant, and she gloated over her visions of the unsuspecting girl bending rapturously over the magnificent plant, her dimpled white Lards fluttering among the satin. smooth, heart -shaped leaves with their blood -red streaks, while bending her dainty golden head; she would inhale the delieiows deadly perfume that wpold hay her dead upon the conservatory floor. Yes, this wee the dream of Stella's cruel heart, and she rested not night or day until she had accomplished her cruel purpose and sent the Kali-mujah to Eden, like another serpent into another paradise.

Vivian Veno had the most tender heart in the world. She could not bear to gaze on suffering in ally shape, and from her seat between old Mrs. Lisle and her husband she watched with pain- ful interest the progress 'of the little tegoidyagpon the mimic stage.
