CHAPTER V.
A dirty, untidy lodging In nn Eng
IbIi slum. An unkempt man, with nil
ho Blgns of drink and dissipation
ipon his low fate; such wns the man
i ml auch was the surroundings of a
nan whom Alan Mackenzie used to
rlBlt In his beautiful estate of La Paz.
His had nover boon un honest, attrac
tive fare; hut now there had coniu Into
It u look of such devilish cunning und
ilsslpation had given him such n
Dlonted appearance, that It was evi
dent he would soon reach tho lowest
depths of degradation.
Alan Mackenzie's denunciation of
him had been his ruin. He had tried
lo retrieve himself, had speculated,
und had lloundcred deeper jnto tho
mire. Ho mado even Hlo too hot for
lilm, and returned to England. Veron
ica's disappearance meant nothing to
tilni. Ho would have got rid of her to
the highest matrimonial bidder, that
was nil. Sho was not his daughter,
as he had told her, only tho orphan
rhihl of a man he had ruined, and
whom he had brought up becauhe her
beautiful mother had been tho one
woman ho had i cully cared for. Hut
for Veronica herself ho had not tho
illghtest affection. She was too
unlet, too affectionate. Her mother,
who had Jilted him, had been a co
juotto, und had thus won Hutchin
wnte lovo and admiration.
He was just now sitting at tho cor
ner of a very dirty bed, with a glass
or some spirits at his elbow. Ho
looked pleased with himself. "So ho
married her!" ho said, and burst out
into rudo laughter. "Ho married her
mid sho got drowned! Who would
have thought It of them, both no inno
cent! Now thero Is only ono thing to
bo consideiod. Shall I let him marry
tho other, and bleed him ufterwards,
or shall I stop it nowf Which will
hurt him most, 1 wonder? I think ho
iovps this girl. Shall I separate
ihem?"
Ho thought a moment. A look of
miming camo over his face. "No," ho
mid, "they shall get married. I will
five him six weeks, and then ho shall
either bribe mo or bo exposed!"
Ho rubbed Ids hnmls with glee and
then pulled himself up ngaln. "Hut
ho isn't going to cheat me of my re
venge!" ho cried. "That would bo
nothing a mau soon forgets a wom
an. After all. It will be tho woman
who suffers most; but he he has beg
gared me! Ho has deprived mo of
my very life! Ho shall suffer for it.
1 shall never rest until my knife Is
irlven Into his very heart!"
Hutchinson took a draught at his
Klass. "There's nothing left mo but
this," he said "nothing! And I have
bo much carriages and horses, and
lino living nnd everything going well.
I should huvo been the richest man In
Rio, tho most powerful Englishman
over there. There Is no need for mo
to prompt my memory lest I forget;
the wonder Ib that I did not come
across him before. !t mo see, ho is
inch a soft, ho will have told this girl
ill about It before. No, no! My best
plan will bo to wnlt until aftor tho
nuirlage his second murrlngo! And
iTetonlca?
"Well, sho does not know where to
Ind either him or mo. I can drop hor
'or a week or two. Sho has more cuti
ling in her than I should huvo
bought possible for sho never nien
.loned Mackenzie's namo to me. I
and no Idea that ,ho knew anything
about hor. It was the merest guess
work; but what a chnnco! I haven't
had a chance for moro than four
years. Perhaps tho luck has turned,
and tho man who ruined me Is des
tined to put mo on my legs again. IJut
no quarter! Whatever he does I shall
(till tako my revenge!"
Meanwhile, tho object of all those
plots und plans had gono homo a lit
tle disturbed. Alan Mackenzie could
not look unmoved at the picture of
tho wreck of a man's life. Ho knew
that ho counted for something In
liutcninsons ruin nay, ror a great
deal. Hutchinson had nover been a
good man; but thero had been a differ
ence between tho man who schemed at
La Pnz, surrounded by overy luxury,
und tho dirty, drunken scoundrel ho
had met In .tho streets of London.
Then, too, tho mention of Veronica
disturbed him. Ho had nover thought
bo much about hep as ho had lately,
perhaps becauso ho had never under
stood boforo what lovo meant. Now,
In his lovo for Joyco, ho began bettor
to understand tho poor dead girl's
feelings. Ho did nof regret that ho
had not loved her bettor! ho rather re
lolccd that his best love should go to
Joyce. And ho knew that ho had al
ways been perfectly kind to her, as
he was to most women; but ho know
now what tho separation from him
must hnvo moant to Veronlcn, nnd
how, when sho wns drowning oven,
her ono regret would be that sho
should sco bis face no moro!
Tho preparations for tho wedding
went on apaco. Joyce was very popu
lar among hor friends, nnd qulto recog
nized to bo n pearl among womanhood.
Old General Grenvllle, her fathor, had
a largo ncqualntanco, who wero all
disposed to make much of tho beauti
ful, bright girl. Not a few mon woro
envious of Alan's luck. There was
qulto a llttfo stir In tho circle of which
Joyce was tho ornament. It only
wanted a fortnight to the wedding,

and Joyco nnd her betrothed wero
driving down Regent street together.
It was the beginning of May, and they
woro to bo married on tho seven
teenth. Doth Joyco and Alan woro
willing to forego the details of tho
London season. They had taken a
charming house In tho country, where
they Intended to spend tho summer lu
honeymooning. If they liked the
neighborhood, and It suited them,
they thought of buying It, us n littlo
country house where they could live
when tired of London. Dili for this
season It was to bo tholr home us
soon as they had loturncd from
abroad. Thoy Vero on their way to
Llborty's to buy hangings for their
now abode when a block oceuncd In
tho tralllc. Joyco and Alan were
laughing nt some foolbh Joke, and
waiting for their hansom to be allowed
to move on. A slight woman with ti
child in her arms uttrac'ted his atten
tion. Tho child was about throe, and
Alan could seo that his head was cov
ered with rich brown curls. He could
not see tho woman, but the poso of
her head seemed familiar to him. In
nn Instant tho color foisook his facu,
and everything seemed to turn black
beforo his eyes. When ho had 10
galned conlrol over himself the wom
an was gone. Joyco turned quickly
and saw tho pallor on his face.
"Alan," sho cried, In alarm, "my
darling, what is It? Aio you not
well?"
"A passing fnlntness," he said. Ho
could not tell her that this strango
woman carrying a child, and whom of
course ho had never seen bcfoio, re
minded him of Veronlcn, and It gave
him a shock.
"Arc you often llko this?" sho
asked, anxiously. "Oh, Alan, thero la
only a fortnight moro, and then 1
shall bo able to come and take care of
i you always! 1 am sure you do too
much," sho added, tenderly.
He gripped her hand hard. It would
bo exquisite to hnve her with him al
ways; but ho was truthful above all
things. "I have never been faint he
foic," ho bald.
"Then It is tho prospect of spending
lifo with mo that alarms you," sho
said, gaily. Alan had regained his
usual color and his usual manner.
Tho cab stopped at tho door of tho
shop, nnd ho sprang out to help her
down. They wero both very much In
earnest over their purchnse. Joyco
had exquisite tasto, and Alan was
deeply Interested In getting all that
she wanted; but ho was conscious all
the tlmo of n feeling of strain. Do
what ho would ho could not get tho
woman's ilguro out of Ills head. It
was an utter absurdity that thin
strango woman with her child should
have so upset him, and ho hntcd him
self for tho thought that Jio must al
woys keep something from Joyce.
Although sho knew all about it, yet
ho folt that ho should not have liked
to tell her why ho turned fnlnt when
tho hansom stopped. Ho did so yearn
to bo entirely ono with tho girl who
had promised herself to him, and how
could ho with the shadow of the past
over him? And all tho time that he
criticized Joyce's hangings, and the
colors nnd tints that would do well
with hor fair skin and light hair, he
felt nn undercurrent of restlessness.
"It's only becauso my hnpplnesB has
mado mo nervous. I feel like tho old
Greeks, who mado libations to their
gods when somo groat good fortune
happened to them. If I could only give
Eojnethlng n thank-offering for what
I have got!"
Jojca wns too much In sympathy
with him not to know that something
was worrying him. They went to
lunch nt somo quiet place, and when
sho had got her gloves off she put her
hand In hlB aud snld: "Now, what Is
worrying you? I must know!" .
He looked nt her. and, to her sur
prise, his eyes wero full of tears.
"Joyce," ho said, "I cannot qulto tell
you, becauso It Is difficult to make you
understand. When out cab stopped In
Oxford street, and I turned fnlnt, I
saw a woman with a child who re
minded mo of poor dead Veronica.
Mind you, I did not sco her fnco, but
something In hor walk was like,
and "
Joyco wns as pale as Alan had boon.
"It tins made you sad, Alan. You
loved her mare thnn you thought."
"No, no!" ho said, "It Is not that
at all, Joyce, but tho sight of that
Btrango woman made mo realizo how
necessary you nre to mo. Darling, It
Is becauso I lovo you so that I cannot
boar to think of losing you. If I had
to wait another two months Instead of
two weeks I think I should go mnd!"
Ho pushed his hair from his brow
and leaut his head on his hand. Joyco
saw thnt ho was overdone nnd herv
ous, and that she must braco him up
a little. Bho recognized, with a gush
of thankfulness to God, that hero was
a nvui who loved her as few mon love
women, and that tho poor dead girl
could nover have had his heart. It
was only pity, as ho had Bald. Sho saw
this In a Hash oven as sho looked at
him. i
"Alan," sho snld softly, "put away
thoso fears, -sweetheart. Seo, hero I
am; look nt mo. I am yours till death '
and after. Death Itself has no terrors
of separation for ooplc who lovo as
we. What do you think that flesh
afefaMfcairtf.ai a&
and blood could contain our lovo?
No; wo belong to. each other for al
ways, and Hero comes our lunch,
nnd you will have to eat IL"
And ho did eat It, cheered by tho
sunshlno of her eyes and tho music
of her voice. And after lunch they
sat up In ono of the balconies nnd
wntched the boats go down the grimy
but sunlit bosom of Mother Thames,
for tho hotel looked but upon tho river.
And Alan smoked, nnd thoy mndo
plans for the future. Where they
would go, nnd what they would do,
and whnt they Would see, together, to
gether, together always. And they
talked of tho folly f married men and
women who go their separate wajs.
not recognizing the divinely blessed
link between husband and wife. And
when they lose to go thoy knew that
they were nonrer to e.ich other than
they had ever been before. It had
been u gUldon nfteinoon, although now
the sun had gonu from tho river, and
tho mist was rising a littlo. Still, as
Joyce snld, "No mist Ciin blot the sun
out forever." Sho meant It a an alle
gory, nnd as nn allegory Alan under
stood It,
And then they drove homo again to
gether, nnd that evening Alan spent
quietly, doing a little work which was
necessary, seeing thnt he had spent a
good many hours doing nothing but
making love to doyen. And on tho
morrow ho had forgotten tho strango
turn Unit the womnn had given him.
Nothing hlippenod during the next
fm might, which wont all too slowly
for him, until his wedding day. On
tho contrary, each day his heart be
came lighter, and he looked forward
each dny to that which would see the
consummation of his dearest desires
And so the wedding day came, and
Alan foigot everything but thnt the
sweetest woman in tho world was go
ing to belong to him from that dlty
forward forevennoro. His responses
rang out clear and fluent, as did hers.
He forgot Hutchinson and Hutchin
son's enigmatic prophecy that thero
might bo n strango wedding guest
though ho could not have Known thnt
Hutchinson had changed ills mind, and
that thoro would bo no strange wed
ding guest that dny.
Ho forgot everything, save that tho
time was coming nearer and nearer
when the carriage door would bo closed
behind him nnd' Joyco, and he would
whisk her off, Ills own dear bride. And
it Is no exaggeration to say thnt tho
sun hud never shone on two happier
people than Alan and Joyce MncKen
