Do people often wonder at their own hat
phiewi? Certainly I was wonderiiip at initio
m I sal alone in my pretty drawing room,
resting back in my chair allowing my I!er
lln work to fall unheeded on my lap, while
my eyes wandered here and there, surveying
with fond pride my possessions.
Many ol tho pictures on the wall, tho
lironzes on the mantel, tho clock, a chair
here nnd there had been by bridal presents ;
and as only oat short year had passed since
I came to my kingdom, I had no time to get
weary.
A year ago, I had then thought myself a
happy girl. I had yet to learn tho full liap
pine which comes to every loved and lov
lug wile ; but I had especial cause for gratl
tude in u fact which might present pain.
ISefore I met Will, my husband, I had
been engaged to n young man, by n very
few years my senior, when bouio one Uia
covered that his fattier and grand falter be
lore him had died inmates of n RtDtttic
asylum "y
My parents immediately broke oil tho en
gagement, and I was ton sensible not to how
to their decree. Por a tlmo I was very nil
erable,but soon after I met Wlll.and learned
that Into his keeping had passed the one
true love ol my life, and he had it so tenderly
so sacredly, that soon there was uot even a
bear to mark the old wound.
Hut tears came freely to my eyen, nor did
Will reproach me with them ihen,some six
months alter my marriage, I learned In the
full lluh of my hapjilnesii, that Victor
Struthers's snd fate had overtaken him, and
that he, too, had followed in the steps of
those gone before; that never again the light
of reasou would shine within Ilia eyes or the
words of love he no well knew how to utter
fall from his lips.
alone slnco my marriage; but Will had been
called atvay by Important binlnes, and
would not be hack until late, perhaps not
until to morrow.
Once moro the tears caino within my eyes
as I contrasted my lot with Victor's or sund
ered nt the fnto which would have been
mine, hud I followed my first mad Impulso
to be his at any cost.
Yet, had not the loss of tho girl ho loved
hastened his doom ? The physicians said
not ; but their verdict would not satisfy my
nervous dread, I sighed a long, tremulous
igh at this latter thought
And surely was it imagination ? some,
where within the room tho sigh was re
echoed.
We had in tlio month of roses two long
I'rench ivlndiitvs,dr.iped with blue satin nnd
lucoupenid on a veranda, which, as the
evening was cool, were closed and fastened ;
but as I glanced round, with a strange, mis
giving rt my heart, I saw tho folds of one
Irctnblo.
The window must then he open ; yet I
felt no air.
With this thought I nroo from my seat,
stepping f irtvard to ascertain the cause, hut
had barely taken a slnglestep when I stopped
my blood frozen, unable to make another
movement, or even part my lips to scream
for help.
On the blue surface was a man's hand

on its lustre my eyes rested, fascinated as the
dove by tho serpent. Whero hnd I seen that
ring before 1 Somewhere, surely, wliere,my
tortured mind cnuld not reason.
Then summoning all my strength and
courage, with desperate effort I turned lo
leave the room. Once put a closed door be
tween myself and that white hand, whose
invisible owner might at any moment step
from his concealment, I might know what
he-t cnuld be done.
Now I was blind with terror, and could
scarcely see, though the room winbrllllaull)
lighted, to grope my way to tho door.
At hist I approached it and reached out
my arm to open the way lo freedom, when
five white fingers, one bearing tho ghaining
ring, were laid on mine, and slowly drew me
back into the room
"Look at me I" said a voice. ''It is your
workyou need tint fear."
Then I realized the truth ; and glanceing
up, saw Victor Struthcrs btanding before
me.
Jly first sensation was of relief. His eyes
peering into mine, were lit by the old soft
nes"; around his mouth was the old smile
and, though his woids were hitler, his baud
some face was only kind.
Could he he mad ?
Or had recovery como to him, spite of the
physician's hopeless decree ?
I laughed a nervous laugh as I answered
"How could you so staitlc, mc, Victor

And he stooped as if to kiss ine, but
rew back shuddering.
"What? no greeting?" ho exclaimed
and slowly there crept into his eyes a look
ad never seen thero belore a look of cun
iiing and of moral diead.
He glanced round the room
"I have, waited so long waited to fiud you

lu that moment I knew the the truth
knew that this man by my side, quiet as he
was, was indeed mad, ready at any inomeii
to throw oil' even this mask of sanity, and
seize me in his powerful grasp
Once moro I glanced around my pretty
room.
My husband'f eyes looked into mine fron
Ills portrait on the wall, as if to say, "For
my sake, darling, keep calm. All rests with
you. Da not let me return to iinu a uesoi.u
home, with your blood staining the tine

"Victor," I said suddenly, "heforo we go
011 this journey, tell mo of yourself of all

"Of myself? What is there to tell ?" he
questioned, with rising passion in his voice
"Of what I havo been doing I shall indeed
