CHAPTKK XV. Their honeymoon commences to wane as peacefully as it began, though a most unexpected piece of nrws reaches Susie bfor- it is over. Mr. Gresharn and Mr. Jarrmi have settled to pass the remainder of their live together. It is early in December when they turn their step boineward. Their first wttled residence ia in Ird Luton" house in Cavendish square, which Susie find in perfect working order, handsomely fur nished, and with a fall complement of ser vant. Her curiosity to learn something aiore of the lady who ha preceded her in the affection of ber husband grows upon Susie, and she searches the bouse eagerly for a portrait of her. There are family miniature in the drawing-room, and among them Suaie finds that of a dark-haired girl, which be imagine to be m representation of Lord Luton' first wife. A few days after ber arriTal in Cavendish square, as ie finishes consult ing Miss tiennett, th1 housekeeper, on the Important subject of u.;..;er. she remrrks. in a manner which she imagines to he per fectly indifferent: "That it a portrait of Lady Luton, is K not?" waving her band toward the min iature is she speaks. That: my lady I" replies the house keeper. "Ob. no, my lady. That is a portrait of his lordship's aunt by th.; Mother's side, takeo wben young. You won't find a picture of the first Lady Lot. in. my lady; not here nor at Luton towe. for his lordship did away with them all directly be lost ber. You see, they was too sad a memory for his lord ship, my lady, for n nearly went mad heo he lout ber. I used to bear bim B'alk.ug up and down his room of a night, and raving about ber, my lady. And he sent everything as could remind him of fcer away. It was natural, too. wasn't it. my lndy? For his lordship have one f the most filling hearts I ever heard of, and he just worshiped the very ground ber ladyHhip walked on." She think!' she can understand now the reason of those dark silent hours in which her husband still indulges, and faring which she has already learned not b disturb him. That be shonld regret bis iead wife, and feel melancholy at the re membrance, is only natural. Bnt if be "worshiped" her, why has he married again? Susie can plainly see that her h'lsiiaiul does not worship her. He loves Her. she believe, and is always affection ste and kind in his manner toward her. hot she misses the ardor with which she imagines he remarried bis first wife. Yet she put the envious thought away from her bravely. .She must tie patient and loving, ami her reward will come. And before she has been settled a week in her new home she has many diversions for her somewhat sad thoughts. Mrs. George - i- Iamocri cans upon ur. auu ionics m o-i train several of the balf-aristncratic. Imlf- Roheminn clas. with which Lord Luton has mixed of late years. "Fancy this dear child never having been to I-otidon before I'hiK" sl.e ex 'aiais. after having questioned Susie as 'to her knowledge of town. "We must isisitivefy take her about and show her everything." "Lady Luton at present cares to go verywbere that her lord and master oes." nays Philip, holding hia wife's sand. "But you needn't be afraid of her t any time. She's a thorough little Bo hemian, and has never been anything else. I wouldn't have married her unless it had been so." j "Ah! they're the best sort after all, Phil." cries Mrs Lambert, as she takes er leave. Musi cannot help observing certain small liberties which Mrs. George per Mta herself to sssume with Lord Lvjton I especially that one of calling him by his Christian name), and she becomes nnbsp 17 la oon sequence. She love her husband vary dearly, and she cannot bear to think Mast another woman shonld be more inti arate with him than herself. She has aver presumed to address him a "Phil," Sal each time that Mrs. Lambert pro aoonesa the syllable it Jars upon her ear. Tkaa they seem to have bees to so many liars together and to have known so ur people, that she baa never even tmrt of; and they both speak French HeotTy. and sometimes converse in that teaage, not a syllable of which she uo (rstaada. So that the ppr girl's inno cent spirits begin to fail ber. and she traepa from day to day. and lose ber ester and bar appetite, until Lord Luton tore1 res the difference, and asks her af asrfioaately what is the matter, and all fito answer she ms..es him is by bursting kite a food of tears. CHAPTER XVI. They are in the large drawing-room in Cavendish square at the time, which is the fag end of a winter's afternoon. Kusie i .seated at the graad rpiaao. where she has bees vainly end savoring to overcome the dinVnltie of a aew waits; and at the as ad of her sobs. Lord La ton leaves his at the are, and crosses to her "What ails yon. my darlingr ha hv lirt. "Ireyou ill?" , refrfsw the girl. In a anted raise. "What la it. tben. chat Brakes yon errf" "Xsthlng." she answers. "The I aawvM ad via ro to dry too' at ear, says aer Bosband, la hia T"v yw yesj don't aasarstand." 3, 1 Mf .tesa I don't, tad 1 mi afraid I j shall not understand, until yon take the trouble to inform me. Come, my child." he continues, in the half-paternal man ner he usually assumes with her, "don't be ailly. If you have any trouble, tell it me. thought it as an agreement we were to have no secret from one an other?" "But but Mrs. Lambert ha secrets with you." sob Susie. "She was whis pering to you all yesterday eveuiug on the sofa." "Oh. that's where the shoe pinch-, is it?" cries Luton gayly. "Don't laugh at me. Philip. I cannot bear it. She calls you Thil.' and she talks to you in I n n -h, and it makes me feel so stupid." "Come, this is more serious than 1 im agined." -ays !ord Luton. "It is true that you cannot talk to me in French, my darling; and. now I come to think of it, it is very rude of Mrs. George ; use a language which you do not understand. But if a lady addresses a man in French, what can he do but answer ber? And as for your other charge, Susie, of her calling me Thil." why, she has done it for the last. five ream, and I could hardly object to it. now." "I never call you Thil.' Hut it isn't because I am afraid of you." she whis pers. "It is because I look up to you, and honor yon so much." "My own darling! I love yon for say ing so. and wish I were more worthy of yonr honor and respect. Oh, never doubt my love for you. Susie, whatever may occur. I have had a miserable life till now, and there are many black shadows in my past at which you don't even guess. But the possession of yon is like a pure, bright stream of sunshine thrown straight across my path. If I am some times gloomy or reserved, !e wise, and do not resent it. There are people acts, wrongs in my past life that haunt me until I am well-nigh driven to madness. But you will cure me. sweet one! Your child-like trust and affection will prove the antidote to my sorrow. And in the future who knows-heaven may send me new ties, all breathing of you that will reconcile me to the irremediable past." He kisses ber fondly several times, and then rising to his feet, place her in the arm-chair. Ilia manner changes on the Instant. One moment back he was earn es.t, energetic almost defiant; now he is once more the courteous, insouciant Iord Luton. "Best there. I,ady Luton." he says, playfully, "and repent of all your ains. ft is past five, and I must run down to the club for an htnr lsfore dinner. If you are very good, I will come back punctually and take you to the theater this evening. But, before all, remember that my last orders are thHt you are to consider your self, as 1 do. the most charming and lova ble little woman that was ever sent down from heaven to make a miserable man happy." He waves bis baud as he sjeak. and disappears through the folding doora, with a smile and a look upon his handsome face that lingers with Susie, after bp has gone, and makes ber supremely happy. The dusk has fallen and the large fire which flickers fitfully on the various arti cles of furniture, leaving the corners of the room in gloom, is all the light that she reontres to oream fir. win rioe hi . ,. rise to pull the bell and order the evening lamps to be brought in. and twice does she sink hack again npon the chair, un willing so soon to break the sweet train of thonghl Ixird Luton's words have in- Sjiireil. She sits there in the gloaming with ber hands clasicd. and her fair young face fixed earnestly ufsiu the fire, lost in a happy reverie, for pcrhups half an hour. Tiicii she remembers a letter from her father that requires an answer, and ris ing suddenly to her feet, advances to the bell to ring for liehts. She has scarcely reached it when she starts violently. An other figure is standing on the hearthrug besidi- her. Susie thinks at first if is her new lady's-niatd. "What do yon want?" she asks, eagerly. "Why do you come npon me like this without any warning?" But the figure on the hearthrug does not answer, and the fire flaming up at that moment cast a light upon it, which reveals the same woman who gained en trance to her rooms at Scsrboro'. Susie recognise her at once, and her blood seems to freer in her veins with horror. There she stand, in the white dress she wore before, clinging round her little fig are like a flag, with her dark rnrly bair falling over ber pate, weird fare, and her black eyes filed angrily on Susie, while ber lipa move, bnt witbont sound, and the same word are formed by their dumb action: "He is mino." Susie is paralysed with terror, ftbe does not know whether to fly or remain whether to scream or to bo silent; so she stands opposite the flgare, staring at it, while ber breath is draws ia abort, sharp gasps of alarm. "He Is mine," repeats the silent lips, while the woman' brows ere knitted with defiance. "He is notT' cries Susie, desperation lending ber temporary courage. "If yon mean my husband, be is not yours; be is mine, and mine only, fur evermore." As the word escape from her the figurt spiiears to advance with a still more men acing attitude uptn her, and, a-ith a shrill scream. Susie turns to fly, and falls be fore she can reach the door. The aervant coming in a moment afterward with lamps, finds his mistress insensible npon the floor, and the apartment empty. Ha rails assistance, and ha women take her to her room, but Lady Laton can give da accoant whatever of the illness that over took her. She says she (eft fabst and waa going to ber room, and remember nothing more. Ilia mors sh rsioeu spoa it, the more certain Snsia become that ah baa sea the apparition of the late !ady Ijwtoa. Stlil. sh ferls that ah wM Hk to ho cert a la; sad whea lira, George Lambert. calling the next day. and bearing she is ill, insist fussily upoo visiting her in ber dressing-room, she determine, is possible, to obtain the desired information from her. "I hop you are not given to this sort fcf thing, my dear chiid," say Mrs. Lam bert patronizingly; "for I am afraid Phi! oiild make but an indifferent sick nurse. He has no sympathy with weak and ail ing people, and declares hysterics and faints to be ouly affectation. But then the first I-ady Luton waa so very strong, you see wiry, I called her. She never knew what it was to be fatigued, and spoilt Phil in consetjueuce for all less robust women." " M rs. I ji m bert ." e j acu la t es S u sie, rat her suddenly. "hy is there no portrait of her in this house?" Mrs. George op-ns her big blue eye to their widest eitelit. "What a funny question, I-ady Lntnn! Why. Phil did away with them, of course. You wouldn't have the place filled with mementoes of her. would you? Fancy the awkwardness of it with strangers, bo might not know the truth." "Oh. ye! I can understand that he would not wish it talked alsiut before him. He fe-ls it too much for that. But you were her friend, were you not. Mrs. Ijiiu bert ?" "Well, my dear. I was acquainted with her. certainly, and intimately at one time. I may say, but it mas ouly through Phil that I knew her. He and George were college chuma. you know; and wbeu Ird Luton married. e naturally visited his wife." "But haven't you a photograph, or any picturc of ber that you could show me?" "I had several photographs of her, taken at different times; but. of course, when the unfortunate event hapened, I took them out of my albums and stowed them away somewhere. Phil is always looking over uiy colli-ctioii of friends, and I didn't wish to stir up any disagreeable recollec tion in his breast, stor fellow." The upshot of it is. that she reappears the follow ing day. She sits for some lime, chatting on indifferent subjects, while Susie is trying to summon up courage to ak her if she has brought the photo graphs with her. until, all at on-e. Mrs. George dives into her esthetics! velvet satchel, snd brings them out. "By the way. I had nearly forgotten the photos; but here they are. and a nice work my maid had to find them, I can tell yon. They had Im-ch pushed right to the back of one of the drawers in my davenport." She throws a little packet on Susie's lap as she s;eaks, which the girl commence, with trembling fingers, to unclose. "You must only just look at them, and let me lake them buck again." says Mrs. Lambert, "for I believe Phil would hale me if be thought I bad brought them here." The first one Susie glances at repre sents 'he face, the figure, the very dre of the woman who has twice visited her. The picture of Lord Luton's first wife Is. in every respect, the picture of the myste rious stranger. It is true, then. She has stood face to face with the dead! The thought appalls her. and Susie turns siii. and faint again. "What is the matter. Lady Luton? You are not ill. surely. Those photograph in never upset you like this." Susie turns to her eagerly; she feels she must make a confidante of some one. hy not Mrs. Ijimlwrt. who has been on intimate terms with the dead woman, and she does so, telling her of the ap parition she has seen. "But what did she want?", asks Mrs. Lambert. "Did she only force her way in to insult you? I can fancy her l-!ng quite capable of it: or did she ask for money? I have heard she is in ant; and are yon sure she was sober?" These questions ptixalcd Susie beyond all telling. "Drink!" she echoes, wistfully; "money! But what should a spirit want with drink or money?" Mrs. George opens" her blue eves si ill wider. "Yon sek of your husband's firM wife as if she were dead. Do you really imag ine she is dead?" "Dead- dead." rep" Susie, io a be wildered manner, "of course she is dead. How could Philip have married inc unless she were dead? Besides. I have ci n her: I tell you r have seen her!" "My dear girl, what yon have seen is either the living woman or an halluciiiii tion: Lady Luton (that as is no more dead than you are. It would le a good job if she were, for perhaps llien poor Phil might insnaifc to forget her. W. can't weep forever over the dead. But she did a thousand times worse than die; she disgraced him anil herself." "Not dead!" says Susie incredulously; "but how then can he have married me?" "Why! he got a divorce from, her, of course, you innocent! She ran away from him with a young officer, the Honorable Oeil Knat'-hbull, who deserted her be fore the decree absolute waa passed; and no one knows, for certain, what has be come of her. It was a terrible blow to poor Phil; more perhaps for his pride than bis affection; for he couldn't possibly have loved a woman with such a temper. And so. you see, it must have been Mag dalen herself whom yoo saw, Iidy Lu ton. It csnnof have been her ghost; for I know that she is still alive." "Alive!" murmurs Susie to herself. "Alive! I never thought of thi. Oh. I would see a thousand ghosts rather than have heard it!" f'HAPTKK XVII. Snsie's head is filled with the slrsiige visit she hss received, and the astonnding revelstion It hs evolved from Mrs. George's lips. The other woman, also, seeing the effect the troth hss npon Lady Latoo. and being anxious to estsblisb ber indisputable right to be Philip' closest friend and confidante, tskes good rsre to follow up the sdvantage she hss gained. Bh barks back to the subject each time they meet, with some fresh instance of the late wife's treachery. , Susie baa begun to dread tbe sdvent of this lady a if she were her bitterest ene my; for sbs never visit her without leav ing a stiag behind ber to wound tbe girl' innocent heart. Although she is young, she has a prond and easily-wounded spirit, and the suggestion thrown out by Mrs. Lambert are agony to her. And. after she bas heard them, she turn for tbe first time from ber husband's caresses, when be draws her to hia side one evening. "Why! what is the matter?" be ash. "Leave me alone!" she eielaims. sharp ly. "Barely I may do a I like. Yon let yonr first wife have her own way enough."

That I loved you utficiently to put you in ber place should be enough fur you. And I must request nay, 1 do more than request I command that this is the last time you allude to her in my presence.
