Mi. Mnrllnonii had moved his chair a
( Ittlo , so that his face was entirely In
Hie Hliade. The daylight In the room
was not very strong , HO that his ex
pression was dllllciilt to fathom. At
this point ho broke In with
"What kind of a man was this who
spoke to you ? "
She smiled a little , then dolefully
thook : her head.
"I can tell you only two things about
him. Ho was young , and he was not
dark that IH , his hair was not black.
I should think ho was several years
older than I. "
"You would not know him again If
you saw him ? "
"I am afraid not. You see I saw him
only Just then. "
"Oh that was the only time you saw
him ? "
"I think PO , but he may have seen me
afterward without my knowing It. "
"Please explain. "
"Well , that evening as I was in my
room , crying my eyes out , my uncle
sent a message to say I was to come
down into the drawing-room. Ho had
never said such a thing before. I sent
back word that I would not come. He
camu up to my room In a lowering
passion. I was terribly frightened of
him , but I wan now thoroughly roused ,
and I still said I would not come. Ho
beat me then struck mo several cruel
blows , shook me and Hung mo to the
ground. After that ho went out , lock
ing the door behind him.
"I had quite made up my mind by
that time. I meant to run away. My
boating had frightened mo and shaken
me there was a sharp pain In my
head. Terror and pride alike urged
mo to flee. If I stayed ho would strike
me again. I tied up an many things as
I thought I could carry in a towel ,
opened my window , and dropped thorn
down on the turf below. My room was
on the most secluded side of the house ,
shaded by big trees. None of the
kitchen windows looked out upon it.
I fastened my shoots together , and
knotted the top ono securely to the
iron ring of my window shutter. I

The last thing which I distinctly re
member doing was getting out of that
window. After that comes a blank
which lasted , so they tell mo , a year
and more. Dr. Stelling says It was the
result of being struck on the head. "
"Who Is Dr. Stelling ? " asked Mr.
Martlneau.
"My old friend. I should have died
but for him. "
"Well what more ? What Is the
next thing you remember ? "
"Tho next thing that I remember is
walking up and down by the sea up
and down with a woman. I was not
strong. I loaned on her arm. I can
not recollect more than that. "
CHAl-iurt IV.
Mr. Martlneau pushed his chair more
closely to hers , asking with great In-
tontnesa
"No more ? "
"No more , till the strangest part of
all. "
A sudden movement of the junior
partner's hand sent a bundle of papers
to Ihe ground. Ho stooped after thorn ,
and slowly replaced them.
"Tho strangest part pt all ? " ho said.
"Yes. One morning I went for a
drive. I cannot tell why I should remember -
member th'ls , but I do. There wore
three other people with me , I thinker
or two I was not alone , but I cannot
tell' you now In the least who they
were. Wo went to n church. I stood
by the altar , and , as far as I can re
call , was married. I don't think I ob
jected. I don't think I understood. I
was like a person In a dream. I was
told afterwards to write my name , and
I did. I know my name then. I don't
remember anything more about it. 1
can't recall who was with me , or any
thing. I remember at last waking up
in a strange room , beautifully clean ,
but very small , and seeing some 0110
bending over me. "
' "Who arc you ? ' I said.
" 'All right , my dear , ' she responded ;
'you're with friends. '
"It was a very fltrango , gradual com
ing back to life. I was kindly oh , so
kindly waited upon by Mrs. Stolllng
and her daughter , but I was complete
ly bewildered. I could not remember
a word of what I am telling you now.
I was constantly asking who I was ,
and why I could not remember the
time before I was 111. Dr. Stelling told
mo not to trouble , and that everything
would come In time. Meanwhile my
name was the dUIlculty. I had 'M : L. '
marked on my clothes , which were
all new , and , when Dr. Stelling found
me , I had a piece of paper in my pocket
on which I had written thuae words.
I have the paper here. "
"I should like to sec It , " said Mr.
Martlneau eagerly , stretching out his
hand.
She handed to him a sheet of note
paper , which had been crumpled and
then smoothed out again. On It was
written
" 'Oh , Cathie , they have left mo all
alone ! Do tell mo what I must do. I
can write no more. You know how
my head goes round. Ho said he would
como for mo. You must answer this
directly , or I shall not know where to
go. The woman frightens me ; she says
they will not come back.
MARGUERITE L1LBOURNE. "
The young man read It through and
shook his head. There was no date on
the letter no address. It had evident
ly been written In a hurry , and by a
perj-on In a state of nervous excite
ment.
"So much , " said Marguerite , "for
what I can tell you of myself. Now
for what Dr. Stolling tolls me. Ho had
boon to the Great Western Railway
station to sco his son off on a long
Journey , and , the train having gone ,
lie was strolling up the platform when
he noticed several people stop and
stare in ono direction , and presently
ho saw mo walking up and down , with
the air ot a person who had not the
least Idea where she was.
" 'Who is that ? ' asked Dr. Stolllng
of a porter.
" 'Lady Just come In , sir. Seems out
of her mind. We don't know what to
do with her. Bettor send for the po
lice , d'you think , sir ? "
" 'I'll speak to her ; I'm a doctor , '
said Dr. Stelling.
"It was Just like him ho Is always
noble and humane ! He ciinio up to mo
and spoke to mo very gently , asking
mo if I had lost my friends. I said
'Yes , ' and at first ho thought that I
was sane , only lonely and frightened.
Ho asked mo where I came from , but I
could not remember In the least. Ho
says that I cried In my eagerness to
tell him ; of course , nobody could help
him , as the tickets had all been col
lected at Wcstbourno Park , Ho saw
then that I was really very ill , and his
anxiety to ascertain the names of my
friends increased. I told him that I
had been married some days ago , and
that when wo returned from church
my undo had said to mo that he was
suddenly called away and would leave
mo in the care of my husband , who
was out for a walk. Ho had departed ,
and I had been alone over since. I
had come to London to find them all.
I had written to Cathie , but could not
remember where she lived , 30 had boon
unable to post the letter *
"So much ho had gleaned from mo In
the waiting-room , where ha had token
me wh ° n 1 lapsed Into utter uncon
sciousness. Ho made Ills resolution
quickly , put mo into a cab , and drove
mo to his own hotiso. I had brain
fever , and , as he fully expected , when
I recovered I had entirely forgotten
my meeting with him , and , indeed , ev
erything that had taken place. In my
pocket , besides the letter to Cathlo ,
they found a couple of biscuits ,
wrapped In this. "
She held out another fragment of ,
paper for Mr. Martlncau's Inspection.
It was apparently a blank half sheet ]
torn off a letter , and at the top was
written , In an ugly sprawling hand
"P. S. Leroy , of Lance Lane , E. C. ,
has a copy of the father's will. You
can convince yourself If you like that
the offer Is genuine. "
"You sco , " said Marguerite , "that
was evidently a bit of paper which I
Just picked up from somewhere to wrap
my biscuits in. It may not refer to
my father at all , but Dr. Stelling
thought It worth while to try. .It
would bo Interesting to find my fath
er's will. "
"It certainly would , " said Mr. Mar
tlneau absently.
"The Stelllngs advertised , " she con
tinued , "saying that a certain Marguer
ite Lllbourno was to bo found at tholr
house , but no one appeared to claim
her. The doctor next put in an adver
tisement 'To Parish Clerks and Oth
ers , ' offering a small reward for the
certificate of Marguerite Lilbourno's
marriage , on or about a given date , tea
a person unknown at a place unknown.
Still there was no result. Ono day ,
when I was able to walk about , cling
ing tightly to Mary Stelllng's arm ,
we took a walk , Intending to go to the
now public gardens Just opened near
where we lived. As we passed a row
of squalid looking houses a nun came
out and passed us swiftly. The sight
touched a chord In my memory. Past
events came back ; I was able to tell
them nil 1 have told you to-day , but
from the time of my falling out of the
window to the time I awoke in the
Stelllngs' house all was a blank. I
could tell them nothing ; Indeed , so
vague and Indistinct was this Idea of
my marriage that I should have boon
satisfied that it was a delusion had it
not been for one thing. "
"Yes. What was the one thing ? "
"This. "
She laid a wedding ring on the table
before her.
Mr. Martlneau drew a long breath.
"That seems tangible , " ho said.
"Dreadfully tangible ! " she ex
claimed , with a shudder. "Can you
wonder that I feel I must know all ?
Heaven knows that I would sooner die
than return to my uncle but I must
and will hear the rights of this dis
graceful fraud ! It is a mystery , is it
not ? "
"It is the strangest thing I ever
heard , and the most pitiful ! "
"The Stellings are very badly off , "
went on Marguerite. "When they found
me I had only a few coppers In my
pocket I had evidently spent what
ever I possessed on my railway ticket.
I could not bear to live on their kind
ness. I did fancy needlework for a
time , managing to contribute my mlto
toward the housekeeping till I was
quite strong. One day , in an inspired
moment , I painted some little cards
for ball programmes , and sent them
to a largo West End shop. They caught
the public taste. Soon I had as many
orders as I could execute , and I began
to work hard. I not only kept my
self I put by a little ; and in our hap
py , busy life wo almost forgot that I
wa ? married. "

the novel features of the exposition.
Enough to say that the cxpcrlcnco
of last year 1ms been utilized to the
full , that the dark places have been
touched as with the wand of a wiz
ard , and that Electrical Superintend
ent Rustln has prepared a fairy scene
brilliant and gorgeous beyond compar
ison.
In the mater of exhibits the First
Greater America Colonial Exposition
has been most fortunate. When the
exposition was first talked of some
doubt was expressed as to the possibil
ity of securing a sufficient number of
attractive exhibits to fill the Immense
buildings , but that doubt 1ms been ob'
soured by the necessity of cconomlzlnj
space In order that all who nppllo
might bo accommodated. The Unite
States government building contaltW of
a special exhibit. The ontlre contents
of the famous Llbby Prison War Mu"
Bourn are displayed. It Is composed of pu-
the relics of the wars of this nation ,
and Is of great historical importance
and value. In ono part of the building
will bo shown an immense collection
of the relics and trophies of the late
war with Spain ; the campaign in Cu
ba and Porto Rico. Froia the Philip
pine Islands will come four car loads
of curious and interesting exhibits ,
rollcs of Dowey's famous victory , tro
phies of the war in and about Manila ,
and interesting objects collected from
various parts of the islands. In addi
tion to all this will bo the regular gov
ernment exhibit of life-saving appara
tus , etc. , and In a corner of the build
ing the fisheries exhibit will bo shown.
The display In all the principal
buildings gives promise of far surpass-
Ing that of the Trans-Mipslssippl Ex-
position. Manufactures building Is
filled with a bewildering display , and
there is demand for more space than
can be found. In the wav of live ex
hibits that Is , machinery In operation
it is probable that this exposition
will surpass , in extent and variety , all
previous efforts. Machinery Hall will
bo filled with this exhibit. Silk weav
ing from the beginning with the raw
silk to the completion of the cloth ;
the manufacture of hats , from the raw
material to the finished article ; In
short , a hundred different articles of
commerce being made it the same

tricity building will be seen all that
Is latest and most interesting in elec
trical apparatus and appliances ; dyna
mos , telephone exchanges exhibitions
of lighting , heating and cooking. In
brief , scores of interesting and curious
things such as can only be found in n
display of this kind , and which must
be. soon to bo appreciated
The colonial exhibit will consist ot
many Interesting articles of commerce ,
Industry , and manufacture , from our
foreign possessions. Implements of ag-
culture , arms , vehicles , native drcsg
and ornaments , products , plants .md .
fruits , are a few of the many lnterfBt-
Ing things now on the way from Ou-
ba , Porto Rico , Hawaiian Islands , iiitl
the far off Philippines. A large num
ber of the natives of these several Is
lands of the seas will be at the exposi
tion , and will doubtless make on > of
the most interesting features of the
great exhibition.
To those who are Interested in the
national question of imperialism the
villages of the native Islanders will bent
nt once a revelation and a sourr < ' of
varied information. Whether the rill-
plno Is capable of sclf-govcrnmert or
whether It Is safe to offer his cou itry
a place In the sisterhood of states are
questions best answered after a care
ful study of the man himself. In the
native village he will live as In his
Island home. His dress , manners , CUB-
toms , ceremonies 'and religious ob
servances will not be added to nor de
tracted from , and the dally occupation
by which ho lives \Yhcn nt home will
bo faithfully adhered to.-
