"To liayc and to hold, for better or for worse, for richer or pooler, In sickness and health, till death us do part." The solemn words fell softly upon tho evening air, and tho two who heard and echoed them a handsome man of eight and twenty, and a girl of nineteen, with a face of rare lovllness pressed each other's hand more closely, while their , upraised eyes sought and met each other's with a gaze full of Wistful, tender Import, not un' mixed with anxious solicitude. The brief rllo was ended, and the naw- made husband led his bride to tho door of the little- church, just as a boy came hur riedly up from without. "Please, sir," ho said depreciatintsly, "tills come for you just after you went out for your walk, and a little girl told mo she had seen jott comlii' down this way, so 1 camo right along." And ho thrust an envelope Into the gen tleman's ham'. With his cheek paling and his hands trembling visibly, Gilbert ll'est broke the Inclosure. A slip of paper fell Into his hands, bearing thosliTiule message: "Conic at oneo; your father Is dying." Drawing liis bride inoro closely to nlm with onp hand, Gilbert held the telegram before her with tho other. 'Wo must bo parted at tho very altar for a brief while, darling," lie said, with strong emotion. "Hut, thank heaven, I leave you united to me in lliat bond of lore and faith that nothing shall sever, 'till death do us patt.' " Into tho bride's pearl-pale face crept a sudden Hush, then it died as quickly, and leaning her head on his shoulder, she burst Into tears. "lie brave, darling, precious wife," soothed Gilbert. "I will be gono but a few days. If 1 can sen-my father alone, with out tho presence ot thoso who I belleye arc tatftil schemers, 1 believe, in the softened stale that must precede such a solemn hour, I can win both hU consent and blessing upon our union. Hut If not, no power on earth can break the. sacred pledge that holds us. I have enough In my own right to support us In modest comfort, and my effort shall procure the rest if need he. 1 am so thankful that this step Is Irrevocably taken, beyond all power of chance or sub tlety to delay or prevent It are you not, darling?" "I cannot but he thankful for auythlng that gives you to me," sobbed his hrldo. Ilut,oh, Gilbert, there is such a deadly fear at mv heart. It seems as if this separation were destined to he final as If some fatal ity were to part uj forever." "Nothing can nothing shall, hut the great change that no human power can aycrt," replied Gilbert, solemnly. "Tell me, dat ling, before I leave you; havo you the slightest doubt of my loyo tr fealty? ITavo you the least fear that any earthly consideration could causa mo to forget, re nounce, or seek to undo the vows I havo so gladly and joyously taken?" She raised her head, this hrldo of less than an hour, and gazed into her husband's face as If she would indeed probe his very soul. His deep brown eyes, beautiful in their expression of loyal devotion and truth met hcr's with a fond, unwavering gaze tho gazo that fed and sustained her hope aud trust in the dark after-time, and letting her head sink ouco more sho faltered: "None none, thank Godl I seo noth ing there hut love, honor, fidelity; a love and fealty that can only be equaled by my own," irm-in-arm they wtlkcd hack to tho llttlo country hotel where thoy had taken temporary accommodations, then holding her once more In his arms, and pressing what was at once his bridal and farewell kiss upon her lips, Gilbert West was gone, And whilo ho was striding hastily away in tho direction ot tho depot, and' his bride was sobbing out tho pain and loneliness and sickening fear that overwhelmed her, two people a man and woniiu tho WC' man of a dark, rich beauty, tbe man-sing larly like Gilbert himself, savo for a sins- ter droop of his lips, and a cruel light In lila oyes, were holding a whispered consul tation in a room adjoining that In which omen's JyinR wiier lay. "I caro nothing for tho fortuno," tho . gri j,roka out passionately, "naif of It Is mine Iu any event; but I would rather throw It Into tho sea than .possess it un shared by htm. And yet this long absence so much longei than usual fills me with Y.. .irAa,tr,,i t.nr. WliAt if he has Liready married her?" I LUW IUV4 ULH...U, '-" .. ----- " "ThottRli ie had marrieu uer iiiouBauu times, ItwouU wake no difference." broke $1.2B when In her companion, with a" passion exceed ing her own. "No other man than I shall eyer call Kdna Larcllo wile. I am with you In this scheme, Lola, because my own Intciests am Inseparably connected with II, anil by fair means or foul wo shall and mttt succeed. If the first part of tho scheme does not separate them, the next will. It is well that she has never met mo that she knows nothing of the mad passion with which she has Inspired me. Hut wo will wait until ho comes and wo are sttroof tho worst." And that assurance camo yory soon when Gilbert, palo and ngllated, hut with a new brightness andlfcsoHttlon mark ing his expression, came and bent over his dying parent. "Gilbert," gasped tho dying man, "you know what Is my wish with regard to you and I,olo. I had hoped to live to witness your marriage, but It is too late." "But, father, hear me," urged Gilbert. "I am already -" Rut oven as ho spoko tho eyes of tho In valid glazed, and ho sank hack with his ex piring breath. Rut another had marked tho scene and cauaht tho unfinished words, and as Gilbert laid his father gently hack upon the pillow, Lola Marshall, with a while, set face, glided from tho room. A week had passed, and'ilinyonng bride, pale and anxious at tho utter absence of any tidings from her husband, was scaled In her room.whcn a maid entered announc ing ylsllor.who followed her Immediately. "Are you tho person known by tho name of Mrs. Gilbert Wpst?" tho stranger In quired. "I am Mrs. West," answered Edna briefly. "I have sad news to break lo you, my poor girl," continued her visitor, "The tidings that you hayo been made tho dupe of an unscrupulous man. Your marriage was a sham tho man you supposed a min ister, simply a confederate. Hp did not, It Is true, Intend to desert you quite so sou, but circumstances ho could not control have mado it necessary." In sllcnco the young bride listened to the cruel words. Then her palo lips parted. "I do not know you I do not bellovo you," she said, simply. "I am a lawfully married wife, and you can bring no chargo against my husband no accusation so ter rible that will havo any weight with me, unsupported by his testimony," "Have you a man iage certificate?" asked her visitor, abruptly. . "Jfy husband has II," replied Kdna proudly. "Ho knew better than to leave It with you, oven though It was worthless," said tho stranger. "At this very time ho is preparing to contract marriago with a lady to whom ho has, long been betrothed. I learned theso facts in a way I cannot ex plain now, and came to offer jou the shelt er and protection of my home, where nellh- crtho pity nor the slander of Hie world will disturb you." Rising from her seat,, Kdna waved Jicr hand toward the door. "Ilrlng all tho proofs you can tosubstiin tiato the shameful story you havo told me," she said In a low, clear voice. "Then bring mc.Gllbert, and In his eyes and voice I will read the truth or falsity of your words. No other test will convince me.' The visitor rose, a dark light burning in his eyes which Kdna. with her head bowed did not see. "Very well," she answered, coldly. "1 would have saved you some sbare of tho scorn aud contumely-you must otherwlso endure, l!utl will bring my proofs, and you shall seo tho worst!" and she swept from the room, leaving Kdna half fainting In her chair. Two more dreadful days dragged by, and reason secmed.to be rocking on Its throno. Kdna was sitting In her room battling with tho wcll-nlgh distracting doubts and fears that possessed her, when a step camo to the door It opened, and a yolce greeted her ear: "At last, darling -at last I am he.ro to vindicate your trust and faith." iritlf a low cry Kdna sprung to her feet took an eager step forward, and then as suddenly recoiled, with blanching checks, Ho stood beforo her in the doorway looking upou her with a smilo a man who gazod at and spoko to her almost with her husband's eyes and voice, but against whom, at that crucial moment, somo in sllnct stronger than reason, more potent than logic, warned Jier as with a. Hying voice. "R'ho are you?" she gasped In bewilder ment. "Who am 1?" he repeated hi fond re proach, "Il'hat docs that mean, Kdna' Has this brief absence, trying though It has been, obliterated me from your memory and love? Havo you no welcome for your husband?" Sho came up closo to him and raised Her pale face, gazing with piercing scrutiny Into his eyes. ' You are sttangely Ilku him marvelous ly sol" she tittered finally. "Hut tho Iius band for whom my welcome Is wall lug docs not dwell Ic your body." "You are wild, Kdna crazed by tho trial to which I have unwillingly been com polled to subject you," was ti e soothing response. "Let me lako you from this placo at once, aud jour mind will recover its lone, and you will ho able lo recognize and acknowledge mo as your husband," "Not one slup.slr, with you!" said Edna, receding as ho held out his hand. "More over. I command you to leave mo at once. Il'hat horrid jusiilcry this Is I know not; I ouly know that although you can counter felt hlin wltli rare skill, you arc not my husband, and I will go with none other," "Listen to me, Edna I" eald her visitor after a moment's ilencc, his lips working nervously. "What sinister Influence como between us, I kuow not; but this lar I will humor you. 1 will leave you to-night, as 1 seo you aro strangely excited, hut to morrow night 1 will return and take you from this place, and, If ncccssaty, remove you lo an asylum until you recover from this strange .madness. Let us hopo mat may not be, couipollcd to to resoitto any such measures I" andivlth a dlstanlbow he left the room. 'What dark and dreadful mystery Is this?" moaned the terribly overwroimht bride, pacing the'rooui,. her hands clasped over her burning temples. "Am I really mad. and Is he telling tho truth? If so, why is not that look in his eyes that I saw when I bade him farewell? Where Is the true, loyal soul to which my own is sacred Iv hound? I caunot Hud It lu hl gaze, not, paid in Advance. Single Copies 5 Cents. Mirclfnl heaven guide me, or else let me go mad Indeed." Sin fell on her knees by the wlndow,and raised her haggard face lo the clear sky with Its gcm-IIko stats, and from the lieayon to which she looked for aid came tho Inspiration sho sought. A stupor fell upon her, In which she beheld her hus-b-vid incarcerated In a dungeon, stretching out his mcnacled has, and fndbesccchlng her lo come to him, Sho came to horscl at last, trembling as w Ith an ague, but with ono purpose thrilling llko fire through lcr veins to set forth In search of her husband, and novcr to relax tho cITort un- I tho mission was fulfilled. Oboylng the subtle Instinct that took tho place of rea son for tho time, sho hturled on some outer ai incuts and noiselessly made her way om tho house, and with her faco set as fate decided, sho pressed on and on under tbo starlit heavens, mile after uillc, that tireless feyor in-lier veins forbidding all rest or delay. How many hours, how many tulles sho had traveled sho ncycr know, but at last, as she found her strength falling lcr, there loomed up beforo her a long high wall. "I can go no further," sho ianlod, tears of utter exhaustion coursing over her face. I will try to reach that wall, and tlicrc 1 can lay down and die."

With a last effort sho dragged herself forward, and fell across the prostrated body. "Found! found!" sho gasped. "Notcvcu death shall p.rt us now!" Rut death was not to visit litem then, for when, after a long and wcll-nlgh fatal swoon, Edda once more opened her eyes, Gilbert's arms were around her, his warm brcalh un licr check, his kisses and tcais falling liko rain upon her marble face. "Tell me what this means," Kdna gasped snuggling to r.tlso herself. "What horrid witchery Is this? What blessed Inspiration that has reunited us?" The witchery of unavailing malice the Inspiration of Heaven!" answered Gilbert, ervently "a plot, as I belleyo, formed' by ui y cousin Albert and Lola Jarshall, Ilia woman my father desired me to rnatry, Listen, darling, for I must inako my story cry shott." Then ho told her that, ho had written dally during his absence, and that, on the evening of his depatture, Lola had begged him to go with her once more to his father's grave; that whilo there she had slipped away, and as ho was about to look for her. a blow had prostrated him, and on ccovcrlng ho had found himself In the place outside of which they had thus mir aculously met, which was a prlyato Insane asylum, and from which a happy chanco had that night enabled him lo escape by scaling the v.-ali; He knew that Ills cousin, had seen her, antl that was another reason for his anxiety for their speedy marriage. Edna's story followed, to which his had af forded a sulllclcnt explanation, and then the wedded couple, so strangely leunlted, set off in search of a hotel where they could remain until morning. And morning brought the news of the flight of the guilty plotteis who had learned that their conspliacy was known and de feated, while Gilbert took his bride to tils father's home, which was henceforth to ba theirs, until death did them part. -"I lako the will for the deed," said the young man who, alter Having in yam ineu lo Induce his wealthy uncle to transfer coi tain real estate to lilm, Inherited It whoti tlio uncle died.
