CHAtTEIl XXVIU-Corri!rc.
Now that aho has spoken to ma and 1
know that thoy are to bo united, Miriam la
not reticent alwut aak og of tbo affair
atnlL Hhe talks freely of ber coming mar.
Huge, and In a abort tlnio our ilana aro
laid lomakalt a happy, onjoyahlo event;
and in our devotion to tbo dntAlls ot thn
futuro festivities wo forgot that, friend"
over whoso name wo puttied oar bruliia ao
much at first.
Hut wa arti upiln put in m I ml of it In a
day or two by Allan' writing a hurried
letter from New York saying tbut "hl
fr-end, having business In the city of Now
York, thoy hud tailed for that port, and a
eoon aa possible they would bo at Hay Vlow.
In twoer Uirco days from date wo might
look for them.
"Ho hud forgotten," ho thought, "to men
tion tha friend's ii a mo in hla laat letter:
would juat aay now that It was an old ge.ii
tlsman who resided near tbo liltlo church
of All Saint near Hastings, by tba namo of
Earle Fairfax I"
Miriam uttered a cry when aho read this
natno whether it waa one of delight or sur
prise ar both, I sever knew. Bho threw up
bit hand, aid, staggering forward, threw
herself tuta my arm. "Karlo Fairfax t
Earlo Fairfax!" she repealed. "I wonder
why-O, I wonder why I"
"Miriam," said I, "don't you want to see
t ho old gentleman; Arthur's uucic, 1 pre
sumel"
For a moment she lay quite still, making
no response. Then she said slowly: "lie i
a good, kind old nan; such a friend of
nine-inch a friend of mine I"
Tha words wara whispered with colorless
lip an4 pallid check. I was sorely puuied
to know why. If be was such a fed) kind
friend, she felt Um way at mention of hla
name.
People, don't generally grow white as
death at tbo prostiect of seeing a friend,
not generally, at least, and I waa at a loaa
to fathom this new phase of affairs.
I made no reply. 1 simply released her,
and she went directly to bor room, with the
latter clasped tightly in her nerrous fin
Iters. "Old memories," 1 said, by way of
excusing this, to me, unaiplalnable freak of
Miriam's. "Doubtless his name waa tutor
woven with some painful memory, which
the mere mention of was like the thrust of
a dagger."
Hha did not rome down to dinner and 1
did not see bur until tha breakfast hour thn
noxt morning. Hha was cheerful aa usual
and seemingly auxlou that I should forget
the Utile episode of the previous afternoon.
Launching off Into conversation, In which I
waa sure that her heart bad not the least
interest. In order to dotract my attention
from the- pallor of bor countenance, aho
managed to become unusually talkatlvedur
ing tbo breakfast hour.
"Perhaps," aalJ I to myself, "sh Is not
paler than usual, and I am yoking up yes
terday's circumstance with a morbid fancy
of my own imaginative brain."
lint whesj Maggie, my little maid, said
solicitously behind my chair after Miriam
had cscuaod herself for a walk In the gar
den "It seems to me that the lady la Hi;
Vfe
1 atxax is saixorvo roixxD wig am
she Is narommon white-faced aad talks
sort o' wild Uks, don't you thlnkf" I
thought, ski well, thru my roejertur la
not all aa imaginative affair, after ail Bat
1 said to tha maid that "tha warm weather
might have something te da wtu It."
Ont well, she 'peara ae aasious like
persisted Margie. "1 eaoubfal think taw
weather would aire that worry U her lee
aad msaner, ma'am."
The snasd knew that something ilka a
shadow bad fallen athwart the aoh ef ear
guest, and with natural IrsNittleUiveBeeewea
deieg her best to wring a eot.ftet.OB from

During tha afternoon, waU 1 warn av
gaged In the rearranging ef aluatmr ef
sutety lilies which the wind haw tseeed
ruthlessly from their fastimiaff, eae
drew up at my humble gate sad twe
gunilemen alighted. Instinctively I kraew
It mutt be they whom we were eipecttag,
and I dropiwd my twtne and went do wa the
graveled walk to meet them.
Mure enough, as on ef them came for
ward, I mvguUed my equal utaace ef the
HcatherlelRupark.
As kvh as h looked up he smiled had

faxV he saM, gladly Teem be IntiMduced
aa eld gentleman, In a dark gray suit had
goldbowrl glasses, as "Mr. Karle Falrfas,
of suburban Hastings, Rug "
"Hhe Is In them." 1 said, Indicating the
direction of the library door with a wave of
my band, as Allan looked Inquiringly about
tho liltlo front rlor Into which 1 had rou
ducted them.
I knew aba would rather meet him alone,
iYitut,oejs to criticise or intrude on the
sacrediicss of thulr grietln, and 1 knew
also that ahit was In there waiting for
Allan, because I caught the swish, swish of
her drvss, and the soft closing of the library
4oor as wo came In.
A Hun I'crcival gave me a look of such
jotmis grutltude that 1 thought bad be
a-krd mo to carry a thousand letters to the
ends of tbo earth for him, Instead of one
little retjuest that be did, that look re
warded me in (ml for every thing,
Then be stepped Into tho library and
closed tho door behind him, while 1 did my
best to euterUlu this friend uf Miriam's,
although I could see plainly that he was
very nusinua to get a glun-vse of her, as his
eye sought tho libntry door frequently. 1
was fully us utixlous that alio should meet
him, for I had a curloMly to s tlicni ttv.
gelber: if ttivro was any secret between
'.hem, irhnps 1 uiU'hl lio nblit to guess It
should I seo their ineviiug.
After awhile Allan oame out of the
library, follow til by Mirum, whoso fun
uns a study Hhe st'emiil quite clad to see
the old uncle of tier ricceaxd husband, tiut
thorn wns a frightened, iiiqulriiiK look on
liur ftu'o that dnrtot not put Itself Into
word. it le.ist not before us
I ixitUvd Allan wuti'lilnglicrwllha gravr,
uneasy expression when she wmvered
with tho uncle. l.vUciilly he read the
rlildie no lictter tiian I did, aud thu worried
look on tier fsoe tut him HI at raan.
I could seo tlmt Allan luted her madly,
and 1 t.ild to myself that now, after he hid
cmsscd the ocrau at her bidding, If any
thing would h.tpKti tntcarata them again,
it would wreck hi Ufa completely.
Tho nevt day Allan had some letters to
mail, and ho drove the phsctou down to
thn city. I had eipoctcd Miriam would
rldo out with him, hut for some reason she
did not, so ho wont alune. After bis de
imrturo Miriam took her uncle Into thn
library to thuw blui thu portrslts ot her
self and family ''as they were once," she
said to him with an apieallng look.
I went out to sm after souui dessert I bod
ordered fordlunor and to offer a few sug
gestions to Maggln, knowing that I was not
needed In tho library. Instinctive! 1 fell
that the portrait business was oaly ruse
of Miriam's to got Uncle Fairfax all to
hereif for a cnufldeutlal talk. Doubtless
it wns bor privilege, I thought, aud some
wayl fell glad that Allan-was out of ear
shot, and that It, whatever It milflit be,
would bo over before hla return.
Having an occasion to go Into the parlor
an hour or so after, whoa ahotld I see
standing Just outside the library door tut
Allan Torclval, and hla attitude waa that of
an attentive listener. 1 could not see his
face, but 1 knew he beard the coavoraatmh
goiug on tn the library,
CHAlTT.rt XXIX
He bail returned then and bad come In
unobserved and Justin time to hear well,
1 hod no Idea what; only it seemed to me,
all the time, that It waa something which
he should lint hear. "Oh, dear I" I sighed, In
growing coutternatlon, not Intending that
Allan should hoar me, as I waa on tne point
of turning softly awar, but his quick ear
caucht tho lelltalo sigh, and ho looked up.
Ills face was white and his handsome
ejes wcro misty with tears. Ho put his
linger to his lips quickly to warn me Into
silence, but that was unnrcesary; then be
Ix-ckoucd niu nrsror. He wanted mo to
hear also, aomclhlrg, perhaps, which con
cerned neither ono of us 1 shiwvk my bead
in the negative, but be only beckoned tha
more peremptorily snd I came to his side.
A f tor I heard the first sentence, through
the Uoyhole of the library door, I was as
eagrr to play the eaves. iropixr as Allan
was willing 1 shuuld, psrhaps.
"Then you are not sorry new that I
dashed thn glass of poison from your hand
just In lima to prtjvtnl you r s wallowlug ill"
It was Uncle lairfst Swkltig, and a tort
of exultation rang through bia pleasant
voice.
Allan caught bis breath and put bt band
on tho wall f..r fc-H-ort, looking at me wsth
the horror he dared not express showing
through those beautiful eye of his, now
dilated with a terrified expression.
Thra ramo Miriam's full, sweet vnio In
answer, at) ing ia little tremulous tones:
"No, Undo Fslrfax, 1 oaa aay gladly that I
am not sorry; on tha other head, I consider
that It Is to you I owe my Ufa."
"I never think of that night at the fUst,"
she continued, "without a shudder. Mutt
found my home-oMtllng so dark, ae e4 a4
lonesome, and had Just left Alias feeling
almost heart-broken, and my own heart waa
aching dreadfully also, so much so Uiat I

a pause, "tbst you might bsve mentiwiesi It
