CHAPTER X.
A beautiful woman, about whoso
beauty thcro could not bo two opln
lor -of goodly height, yet so full of
grnc that she was rarely described as
tall with a certain gentle Btatcllnesa
that no words can qulto describe with
a head well poised, gray eyes that had
moro tenderness, more passion In their
depths than any othor eyes I had ever
seen, tnobllo lips as expressive ub tho
eyes, a face a porfect oval, clearly, deli
cately cut, bright, brown wavy hair,
growing gracefully around a perfect
brow the most beautiful woman I had
over Been, ever dreamt of Madatno
Arnaud.
She had tho gracious ways which n
beautiful woman learns by the tlmo
ho is thirty years of age. If thirty
yearn had taken the first soft, peach
like bloom from her complexion, that
was but a small loss. With her queen
ly ways, her slow yet radiant smilo,
sho was far moro charming than any
mere girl could, bo. In her presence
even Meg's prettlness seemed inex
pressive. 1, who had scarcely any
claim to prettlness, was ovorwhclmed
with a sense of my own Insignificance
We saw much of Madame Arnaud.
She came often, and she generally
ramo in the evening whon John was at
home. Ostensibly, her calls were on
me; but, whon she left tho drawing
room, John accompanying her across
tho little hall, she fell at once into a
softer, more familiar tone; sometimes,
half an hour after sho had bidden
good-night to mo, sho was still talking
In a subdued, confidential volco to
John in the hall or in his study; and
now and then John would go with her
the short distance that lay between
our houses, and if tho evening was
quiet I could catch tho sound of their
footsteps as tbey passed and repassed
up and down the pavement, until at
I poked my lire obediently. Tho
merry blaze shot up and dispersed tho
shadows. The firelight was so pretty
that the lamp, which the maid nt that
moment brought In, wns b.tulshcd by
Meg to tho piano In tho corner. The
little afternoon tea tablo wns wheeled
before tho fire, and Meg drew her chair
opposite to mine and sank back In It
with n sigh of luxurious content.
"Ono question, Kitty," sho said.
"Will John come in?"
"I think not not yet."
"Then I'm happy," sho replied; "I
breathe freely. Now confess, Kitty
I'll never tell a soul don't you feel a
sense of rellof when John goes out?"
"No. I don't."
"Kitty, you'ro snappish. Your tem
per was never nice and it's getting
worse."
I laughed and began to pour out tho
tea. Meg leant back In her chair and
looked critically at her blue cup, and
stirred her tea slowly with the quaint
little apostle's spoon, then removed tho
spoon to examine it.
"I liko your silver and your china.
Kltfy. Tho sight of your sllvor and
china would almost pcrsuado mo to
marry, If anyone would mnrry me. But
the sight of you and John counteracts
the rash desire."
"How do John and I look?"
"Look at yourself In the glass, dear;
tho glass will speak for one. And John
looks worse. Do you keep him on cold
mutton chops, Kitty? Nothing but an
unvarying diet of mutton chops could
account for his profound gloom."
"John's not gloomy you Imnglno
that," I declared, with n little sharp
catch In my breath even ns I made tho
decisive assertion.
"And you'ro not gloomy?" ques
tioned Meg, stirring her tea, nnd put
ting out her neatly-shod little feet to
tho welcome blaze. "Is ho a tyrant,
CHAPTER XI.
Tho firelight was very bright I
leant back in my chair to escapo from
It. My heart had suddenly turned
cold; I walled for a moment, then
asked a question very quietly.
"Was Madamo Arnaud thcro at tho
ofllco, Meg?"
Meg hesitated for a moment. Sho
put down her cup, folded her hands in
tier lap, and looked closely nt mo.
"Kitty, for goodness' sake, bo a ra
tlonal being!" sho exclaimed. "If you
hnd meant to bo Jealous of Mndame
HER UNCLE'S JOKK
t
rnnud, you should have boon Jealous
before you married John, nnd not have
married him. For goodness' sako,
don't bo Jealous nt this Into dato."
"I'm not Jealous," 1 replied, In n dull
yet protesting tone. "Why should I
bo?"
For many mlnutcB wo sat In sllcnco,
tho clock on tho llttlo chlmney-plcco
ticking audibly In the stillness of tho
room. Then It was I who broko tho
sllcnco. I spoko with sudden passion,
yet In a low, slow, deliberate tone.
"I wish I had never married John,"
I said. "I wish It every day, Meg. I
have spoilt his life. I have mado him
wretched."
"Kitty!"
Meg waa as serious now as I. She
camo round to whore I sat, and seated
herself on the elbow of my chair. 1
put my head against her Bhoulder and
sat in silence, looking perfectly hopo
leBsly before mo.
"Ho loved her," I said nt last, still
speaking In a quiet tone, still looking
bofore mo Into the glowing lire. "Some
ono should have told me! No ono told
mo; I did not know I did not know!"
"And I did not know it until aftor
wards," said Meg gently. "I hnd heard
of her. but I had only heard half, the
story. I heard it again tho othor day
moro fully.1
"Tell mo."
"Hut John has told you."
"No."
"How strange! It's n long story; 1
scarcely know whore to begin. Ten or
eloven years ago Madamo Arnnud she
was Lucia St. John then waa an
actress, n singer but you know that."
"I know nothing."
"Sho sang In opern; they said she
waB tho coming prima donna. Sho
sang for two seasons; then her volco
failed her."
"Go on, Meg."
"Sho hnd been engaged to John
how strnngo It Is, Kitty, that I should
know this and not you! did you kuow
sho had been engaged to John?"
"No."
"John ought to have told you, I
think. Well, Bhe had been making a
big Income, nnd the Income dwindled
down to nothing suddenly, nnd John
was poor. Ho waa very poor, you
know, In thoso dnya; ho was only a
solicitor with a precarious sort oi
practlco, with a reputation yet to bo
mado. Then ho was struggling to pay
off his father's debt he was poor,
hopolessly. She had made him promise
that, after their marriage, alio Bhould
not glvo up her career sho was to bo
allowed to go on singing. Sho had
beon singing in Pnrls; sho waa coming
home. It was midwinter, and she nnd

her, choso to remain on deck when
facnslblo pcoplo would have been sleep
ing in their cabins. Sho took cold.
Whon sho got well again her volco was
gone gono aa far as her profession
was concerned. That's her story."
"But not nil. Go on."
(To be continued.)
"No, Kilty; you must never marry
without my consent. You arc not In
love now, nro you?"
"Why, no, uncle. How cou'd I bo
when 1 don't know any one."
"That's so. You didn't hnvo much
chance to fall In love nt school, nnd
your vneitloiis wcro spent with mo.
Now, Kitty, tho man I want you to
marry Is Mr. Right."
"Mr. Wilght?"
"Yes. You have never seen him?"
ho asked, his eyes twinkling.
"No. I don't know nnv Mr. Wrlcht."
"Well, he's tho man I want you to
mnrry, and If you do you shall have
every cent of my money."
"Hut, uncle, 1 have never sion him
and might not caro for him, unit If I
did perhaps ho wouldn't want me."
"Oh, you'll fall In lovo with him fast
enough, ami ns for him not wanting
you why, I'd like to find the man who
couldn't want Kitty Clinton, oven If sho
didn't havo a nlco pocketful of money.
Hut don't worry your pretty head nliottt
him, for thorc'B lots of tlmo. Chnrllo
Emory Is coming, hero next week, end
you can have a good tlmo with him and
wo will seo about Mr. Right Intor on.
You remember Charlie, don't you?"
cs, indeed. I remember Charlie. I
haven't seen him since I was 11 nnd
ho wbb 20. How nlco ho wns to me,
although I wag so much younger. Hut
do you know, uncle, ho was In lovo
with somo one, for ono dny a picture
of a young lady fell from his pocket
and I ran away with It." Sho laughod
aa sho thought how ho had chased her
through tho fields, and whon worn out
Bho had dropped down under a treo to
rest and have n look at tho picture un
til he came up, tired and cross, to claim
it Ho had blushed ns Bho handod It
back, asking, "Is that tho futuro Mm.
Emery?"
"No, it Is Miss Emery, my couBln."
"Well, you needn't blush so. I'm a
sort of cousin, too, but you novcr carry
my picture with you," sho said, getting
up nnd going quickly townrdn tho
house. "Why, Kitty," ho said, follow
ing her, "I think "
"Oh, I don't caro what you think,"
Bho said,' as sho started to run. "You
can mnrry her for all 1 care," and she
had gono in tho house and novor ap-
might know whnt tho consequences
would ho If I spent much tlmo In your
company."
"Oh, Charlie, didn't you know thcro
Is some Mr. Wright undo wnnts mo to
marry? 1 thought likely you know,
nnd never snld anything about It. Un
cle never changes his mind, either,"
"Well, he'll hnvo to, this time," ho
nald, ns ho helped her out of tho boat,
"for If ho doesn't, I'll carry you olt oy
force."
"Oh, yon needn't do thnt, young
man," said a volco closo licaldo him
"1 guess you'ro Mr. Right, and have
my consent before you've asked It."
"Hut, uncle, Charlie's namo Isn't
Wright."
"1 know his namo Isn't Wright. That
was Just a Jokn of inlno, whlrh you
didn't sen through. I think ho appears
to ho tho right mnn, though,"
"Am I, Kitty?"
"I think, you nro, hut what n funny
way for uncle to put It," nnd tho old
man lnughed noftly as ho went Into tho
house lloaton Post.
"DID YOU NOT KNOW SHE HAD BEEN ENGAGED TO JOHN?"
last sho went indoors and John re
turned alone.
A month went by a chill, gray Octo
ber, with raw mornings nnd misty
evenings nnd rare glimpses of palo
wintry sunshlno. I grew more than
one month older In those four long
weeks. I scarcely knew what troubled
me; I tried to put tho thought of tho
trouble away I shrank from facing It.
John asked mo sometimes if I was
happy; I always assured blm "Yea;"
and perhapB tho assurance was moro
eager than spontaneous, for ho would
look nt mo gently and turn away with
a little sigh.
He was always gentle. I wished im
patlontly sometimes that he would be
lesB patient, less good, loss kind. Wero
men so lnvnrlably patient with wives
they were sure they loVed? Again and
again his sister's words camo back to
mo "You loved her because you
wished to love her. Is such lovo trust
worthy? Will It wear a lifetime? Hus
band It with all your energy!" Tho
words seemed to echo In my brain; I
could not, strlvo as I would, put them
nway from mo.
It was a misty, chilly nftornoon to
ward the end of October. Meg had run
in to ico mo. She was full of life and
spirits; sho laughed at me becauso I
wbb sitting In tho twilight; she kissed
mo and rang tho bell for the lamp and
tea; thon sho kissed me again and
bado me tell her I was glad to see her.
When I assured her of my gladness nhe
put her hands upon my shoulders and
snook mo a llttlo, because my assur
ance, she said, was too lukewarm;
then, reponting, she kUscd me again
because she had shaken me.
"Kitty, my dear, whenever I see you,
I say to myself, 'Don't marry,' " she
aid, divesting herself of her trim llt
tlo sealskin jacket, and looking round,
for tho most softly-cushioned chair.
'Poke your flre, Kitty; let us have a

It Is claimed for a building near St.
Albans, England, that It Is the oldest
lnhabltated house In that country. A
part of It, at any rate, Is moro than
1,000 years old. This is tho foundation
which was built by King Offa. Tho
structure was originally used as a fish
ing lodge by tho monks of tho abboy
of St. Albnns, of which monastery It
formed a part. It wns situated on tho
bank of an Immense fish pond near St.
Albans, bolonglng to the royal p'alaco
of Kingsbury, of which little but tho
namo now remains, Tho present build
ing resting upon these undent founda
tions was probably erected during the
fifteenth century. It has possessed sev
eral names, and Is at present known as
tho "Fighting Cocks." There Is a
wooden tablet on tho front wall sot
ting forth that It Ib "The oldest In

of him frequently. After graduating

"Now, Kitty," said hor uifcle, "run

But Kitty did let It worry her, nnd
