INTERNATIONAL PRESS ASSOCIATION. CHAPTER XVL fCoKTiNUEn. ) "She gives me up ! Margie renounces me ! Strangers we must be henceforth ! What does It all mean ? Am I indeed awake , or is it only a painful dream ? " He read the few lines of the missive a third time. ' Something of the old dominant spirit of Archer Trevlyn came back to him. "There is some misunderstan ug. Margie has been told some dire false hood ! " he exclaimed , starting up. "I will know everything. She shall ex plain fully. " . He seized his hat and hurried to her residence. The family were at break fast , the servant said , who opened the door. He asked to see Miss Harrison. "Miss Harrison left this morning , sir , in the early express , " said the man , eye ing Trevlyn with curious interest. "Went in the early train ! Can you tell me where she has gone ? " "I cannot. Perhaps her aunt , Miss Farnsworth , or Miss Lee can do so. " "Very well ; " he made a desperate ef fort to seem calm , for the servant's ob servant eye warned him that he was not acting himself. "Will you please ask Miss Lee to favor me with a few minutes of her time ? " Miss Lee came into the parlor where Archer waited , a little afterward. Archer , himself , was not more changed than she. Her countenance was pale , even to ghastliness , with the exception of a bright red spot on either cheek , and her eyes shone with such an un natural light , that even Archer , ab sorbed as he was in his own troubles , noticed it. She welcomed him quietly , in a somewhat constrained voice , and relapsed into silence. Archer plunged at once upon what he came to ascer tain. "The servant tells me that Miss Harrison risen left New York this morning. I am very anxious to communicate with her. Can you tell me whither she has gone ? " "I cannot. She left before any of the family were up , and though she left notes for both her aunt and her busi ness agent , Mr. Farley , she did not in either of them mention her destina tion. " "And did she not speak to you about it ? " "She did not. I spent a part of last evening with her. just before you came , but she said nothing to me of her in tention. She was not quite well , and desiied me to ask you to excuse her from going to the opera. " " her this morning "And did you not see ing ? " "No. I have not seen her since I left her room to come down to you last night. When I returned from my inter view with you , I tapped at her door in fact , I tapped at it several times dur ing the evening , for I feared she might be worse but I got no reply , and sup posed she had retired. No one saw her this morning , except Florine , her maid , and Peter , the coachman , who drove her to the depot" "And she went entirely alone ? " "She did from the house. Peter took her in the carriage. " "From the house ! But after that ? " he asked , eagerly. "Mr. Trevlyn , " she said , coldly , "ex cuse me. " "I must know ! " he cried ; passionately grasping her arm ; "tell me , did she set out upon this mysterious journey alone ? " "I must decline to answer you. " "But 1 will not accept any denial ! Miss Lee , you know what Margie was to me. There has arisen a fearful mis understanding between us. I must have it explained. Why will you trifle with me ? You must tell me what you know. " "I do not wish to arouse suspicion , Mr. Trevlyn , which may have no founda tion to rest on. Only for your peace of mind do I withhold any information I may possess on the subject. " "It is a cruel kindness. Tell me everything at once , I beg of you ! " "Then , if it distresses you , do not blame me ; Peter saw Mr. Louis Cas- trani at the depot , and is confident he went in the same train , in the same car with Miss Harrison. " "Castrani ! Great Heaven ! " he stag gered into a chair. "Is it possible ? Margie , my Margie , that I thought so good and pure and truthful , false to me ! It cannot , cannot be ! I will not believe it ! " "I do not ask you to , " said Alexan drine , proudly. "I insinuated nothing. I only replied to your question. " "Pardon me , Miss Lee. I am not quite myself this morning. I will go now. I thank you for what you- have told me , and trust it will all be ex plained. " " " Miss Lee turning "I trust so , answered , ing to leave the room. "Stay-a moment ! To what depot did Peter drive her ? " "The Northern , I think he said. " "Again I thank you , and good morn- ng. ng.He hurried away , got into the first coach he came across , and was driven to the Northern depot. He was somewhat acquainted with the ticket agent , and assuming as non chalant an air as was possible in his present disturbed state , he strolled into the office. After a little indifferent conversation , he said. "By the way , Harris , do you know Mr. Castrani , the young Cuban , who has tur = ? iVr - . heads of so many of our fair bellea ? Some one was telling me he left town this morning. " J'Castrani ! Yes , I think so. He did leave for the north this morning in the early express. I marked his baggage for him. He had been hurried so in his preparations , he said , that he had no time for it. " "Indeed ? It's a bore to be hurried. Where was he checked to ? " "Well , really , the name of the place has escaped me. Some little town in New Hampshire or Maine , I think. We do so much of this business that my memory is treacherous about such things. " "Were you speaking of Castrani ? " asked Tom Clifford , a friend oi Archer's , removing his cigar from his mouth. Deuced fine fellow ! Wrish I had some of his spare shillings. Though he's generous as a prince. Met him this morning just as he was coming down the steps of the Astor. Had to get up early to see after that confounded store of mine. Walker's too lazy to open it mornings. " "You met Mr. Castrani ? " said Archer , referring to the point. "Yes. He told me he was going away. Woman somewhere mixed up in the case. Said he expected to find one somewhere well , hanged if I can tell .where. There's always a woman at the bottom of everything. " "He did not mention who this one was ? " . , i "tfot he. But I must be going. It's nearly lunch time. Good morning. " Trevlyn stopped a few moments with Mr. Harris , and then went back to his rooms. He was satisfied. Hard as it was for him to believe it , he had no other alternative. Margie was false , and she had gone away from him under the protection of Castrani. He could have forgiven her anything but that. If she had ceased to love him , and had transferred her affections , he could still have wished her all happiness , if she had only been free and frank with him. But to profess love for him all the while she was planning to elope with another man , was too much ! His heart hardened toward her. If there had been , in reality , as he had at first had supposed , any misun derstanding between him and her , and she had gone alone , he would have fol lowed her to the ends of the earth , and have had everything made clear. But as it was now , he would not pursue her an inch. Let her go ! False and per fidious ! Why should her flight ever trouble him ? But though he tried to believe her worthy of all scorn and contempt , his heart was still very tender of her. He kissed the sweet face of the picture he had worn so long in his bosom , before he locked it away from his sight , and dropped some tears that were no dis honor to his manhood , over the half- dozen elegant little trifles she had given him before he committed them to the flames. There was a nine days' wonder ever Miss Harrison's sudden exodus. But her aunt was a discreet woman , and it was generally understood that Margie had taken advantage of the pause in the fashionable season to visit some distant relatives , and if any one coupled her flight and the departure of Castrani together , it was not made the subject of remark. Alexandrine kept what she knew to herself , and of course Archer Trevlyn did not proclaim his own de sertion. For a week , nearly , he managed to keep about , and at the end of that time he called at Mrs. Lee's. He wanted to question Alexandrine a little further. The idea possessed him that in some way she might be cognizant of Margie 's destination. And though he had given the girl up , he longed desperately to know if she were happy. He had felt strangely giddy all day , and the heat of Mrs. Lee's parlors operated unfavorably upon him. He was sitting on a sofa conversing with that lady and her daughter , when suddenly he put his hand to his forehead , and sank back , pale and speechless. In the wildest alarm , they called a physician , who put him to bed , and en joined the severest quiet. Mr. Trev lyn , he said , had received a severe shock to his nervous system , and there was imminent danger of congestive fever of the brain. His fears were verified. Archer did not rally , and on the second day he was delirious. Then the womanly nature of Alexandrine Lee came -out and asserted itself. She banished all at tendants from the sick room , and took sole charge herself of the sufferer. Not even her mother would she allow to take her place. When tempted by intense weariness to resign her post she would take that stained glove from her bosom , and the sight of it would banish all thought of admitting a stranger. "No , " she said to herself , "people in delirium speak of their most cherished secrets , and he shall not criminate him self. If he did that terrible deed , only I of all the world can bring a shadow of suspicion against him , and the secret shall never be revealed to any other. " So she sat the long days and longer nights away by the side of this man she loved so hopelessly , bathing his fevered brow , holding his parched hand , and lingering fondly over the flushed , un conscious face. He sank lower and lower day by day so very low that the physician said he could do no more. He must leave the case. There was nothing for It but to wait with patience the workings of na ture. ture.At At last the day came when the rav ings of delirium subsided , and a deadly stupor intervened. It was the crisis of . ' * * • ' ' TBSBBBBjp v. • - ' s the disease. The sundown would de cide , Dr. Grayson said ; he would bi better , or death would ensue. Alexandrine heard his opinion ii stony silence. She sat by the bed's heat now , calm and silent ; her powers o : self-control were infinite. Her motbe : came in to watch for the change , as die several of Archer's friends , heretofon excluded. She was not afraid for then to come ; there was no danger of Mr Trevlyn criminating himself now. H ( had not spoken or moved for twelve hours. The time passed slowly. The sur crept down the west. The ticking oi the watch on the stand was all thai broke the silence of the room. The lasi sun ray departed the west flamed with gold and crimson , and the amber lignl flushed with the hue of health the whit ? face on the pillow. Alexandrine thought she saw a change other thai that the sunlight brought , and benl over him. His eyes unclosed he looked awaj from her to the vase of early spring flowers on the center-table. His lip : moved. She caught the whisperei word with a fierce pang at her heart : "Margie" The physician stepped forward , ant sought the fluttering pulse. His face told his decision before his lips did. "The crisis is passed. He will live. ' Yes , he would live. The suspense was over. Alexandrine's labors were shared now , and Archer did not know how devotedly he had been tended how he owed his very existence to her He mended slowly , but by the middle of May he was able to get out. Oi course he was very grateful to the Lees and their house was almost the onlj one he visited. Alexandrine was fit ful and moody. Sometimes she re ceived him with the greatest warmth , and then she would be cold and dis tant. She puzzled Archer strangely. He wanted to be friends with her. He felt that he owed her an immense debt of gratitude , and he desired to treat hex as he would a dear sister. Perhaps it was because time hung sc heavily on his hands , that Trevlyrj went so frequently to Mrs. Lee's. Cer tainly he did not go to visit Alexan drine. We all know how the habit ol visiting certain places grow upon us , without any particular cause , until we feel the necessity of going through witli the regular routine every day. He was to blame for following up this ac quaintance so closely , but he did it without any wrong intention. He never thought it possible that any one should dream of his being in love with Alexandrine. But the world talked. They said ii was a very pretty romance ; Mr. Trev lyn had been deserted by his lady love- had fallen ill on account of it , had beer nursed by one whom of course he woult marry. Indeed , they thought him ir duty bound to do so. In what othei way could he manifest his gratitude' Vague whispers of this reached Trev- ljn's ear , but he gave them at first little heed. He should never marry , he said it was sinful to wed without love. Bui as he saw Alexandrine's pale face anO strangely distraught manner day bj day , he came to feel as if he had in some way wronged her , though how he did not exactly understand. One vlay he entered the sitting-room of Mrs. Lee with the freedom of a priv ileged visitor , without rapping , anil found Alexandrine in tears. He would have retreated , but she bad already seen him , and he felt that it would be better to remain. He spoke to hei kindly. "I trust nothing has occurred to dis tress you ? " She looked up at him al most defiantly. "Leave me ! " she said , impetuously : "you , of all others , have no right tc question me ! " "Pardon me ! " he exclaimed , alarmeil by her strange emotion , "and why not I question you ? " "Because you have caused me misery enough already " ( TO BS COXTIXUE.D. ) POSTOFFICE SECRECY. Against the Rules for Letter-Carriers to Give Addresses. It is not generally known that Unci * Sam looks upon the address or where abouts of one of his citizens as an in violable secret. Such , however , is the case , says the New York World. A New Yorker who had been out oi the city for some time found upon his return , a few days ago , that one of his intimate friends had changed his resi dence without leaving his exact new ad dress. All he could gather was that his friend now lived in a flat on the north side of a certain street When he arrived at the block in ques tion he found to his dismay that every house in it was a flat house. He would have to go from door to door until he found his friend's name over one of the door-bells. He had not proceeded far when he met a letter-carrier making his usual delivery. Here , he thought , was the man who could save him a lot of time and trouble. "Yes , sir , " replied the postman , in response to his query. "I know the party very well. But I.am sorry to say I cannot give you his number. It is against the rules. " The same secrecy is observed at the post office. The postal address of any body will not be given by the federal authorities even to a state officer. This rule is in accordance -with the general principle that a man's dealings with the government are of a confidential na ture. Antiquity of Mosaic Floors.
