"About two yoars ago, after suffering
for noarly two years from rheumatic
gout, being ablo to walk only with great
discomfort, nnd having tried various
remedies, including minoral waters,
without rellof, I saw by nn advertise
ment In a Chicago paper that a man had
been relieved of this distressing com
plaint, aftor long suffering, by taking
Ayer's Barsaparllla. I then decided to
mako a trial of this medicine, and took
It regularly for eight months, nnd am
pleased to state that it has effected a
complete cure. I have since had no re

That lako whoso

ono of Uio prin

of L'Estrange
Park. And it had many attractions,
both to tlioso who know it well nnd to
thoso who as visitors camo to it for the
first time.
It was ono of tho show places of tho
county, with its grand avenues of noblo
oaks, its denso copses, Its knolla and dells
and lovers' wnlks, Its wido expanses of
lawn like verdure,
Tho houso itself was worth a journoy
to sec.
It stood on tho summit of a long, slop
ing hill, overlooking iu front an undu
lating oxpaneo of greensward, with trees
dotted here and there, and exquisite par
terres of flowers gemming its beauty.
Behind It, and on both tides, were
dusky woods or what seemed to bo so;
though when entered it was possiblo to
wander at caso through interminable
paths, cool even in the hottest day of
summer.
Tho L'Estrangos were ono of tho proud
est families in the county.
They couTd claim an unsullied descent
from ancestors who in tho good old times
had dono good service to their country,
and never did it seem less likely tlinn on
this pleasant Juno day that a sliadow
would fall upon the honor of tho old
house.

ho pressed kisses on her soft lips, or
whispered to her of sweet delights in
tho future, when neithor day nor night
of part-
llow could thoy think of evil?
IIo suddenly, however, rouses himself,
Site had taken hold his white muscnlar
arm.
Claro Raymond, tho daughtor of Mrs.
Raymond, May Fielding's-guardian, was
four years May's senior, and during all
thoso long, long months which had
formed tho period of tho courtship of
her friend and her lover, sho had suf
fered torturo unspeakable.
Sho had set her heart upon Guy when
first they had met, years before.
Even in thoso days, however, when
May was only 14 and Guy 21, sho was
his favorite and companion,
And ns time passed, the bud blossomed
out and ripened imperceptibly though
surely, and without any display of mock
modesty or self consciousness,. May Field
ing drifted from her position of tho child
playmate of Guy' L'Estrango to 'that of
his betrothed bride.
Clare had seen all this, and used des
perate means to. avert such a calamity,
Failing all else, she had opened her
heart to her wondering lrjqther, find en
treated lier.to send May away to school
beforo it was too late.
But this was not to be,
"My dear." said her mother tenderly,
"this cannot bo dono. I pity you, and
feel for you, but I cannot help you
am forbidden to send her to school. All
her education must ba received in my
house, I am precluded by the will from
allowing her to leave my houso until a
husband claims her."
And so timo passed; and Guy nnd
May, happy in each other's love, knew
nothing of tho storm in the breast of her
rival,
Claro turned from the contemplation
of the 6ceno. with trembling lips and
her hand pressed tightly over her swell
ing bosom,
"Oh, how I liato her!" sho cried. "But
for her his lovo would havo been mine!
And to think.I havo tried and tried.in
vain, with all my beauty, which ha.s
beeu praisccl sq much by others, only to
bo Bet asido for tliat golden haired dolll"
She- passed into an adjoining room,
tliat she might not witness tho entrance
of tho lovers that sho might calm her
self, in fact, beforo sho met them at all.
But her mind was too busy to b. o tran-
quiUseil.
The Bamo tjioughts would crowd upon
her brain, It was too lato now. All her
scheming had been for nothing; in a
weok they would bo rnarrled, .
"Oh, why am I such a coward? ' Bho
murmured to herself, "Why cannot I
doviso and carry out somo schemo to
part them even now? Tho thought of
their happiness maddens me. I could
almost bring myself to wish that some
thing awful would happen to yes, to
either of them," sho added, vitli a spite
ful stamp of her foot, "rather than eho
should Iivo to bo his wife!"
Even in tho depths of her wicked heart
aho could never havo imagined how
awiftly her ovii prayer would bo an
swered.
Gay voices in tho next room roused
ner, ana bho scnooieu nersen to uu caiui
and smiling to meet the lovers, and Mrs.
icaymonu, wuo, an unconscious opino
vengeful feelingsin her daughter's heart
was joking with the young people, and
twitting May about her anxiety at Guy's
absenoa for a few hours.
You'll get used to longer absences
than that, May," sho cried, "wlui you
tms ti laimitpfl. sir, -
o'clock V ' ,luv auovuer rami o
nloss ra go oil to Salidford
ii' o on to tho othw line."
xVain goner repented Guy in 04rtc ir
ritation, as ho took out his watch. "Con
found tho tiling, it Is tweaity minutes
slow! No, I gha'n't go on, thank you. I
shall be too lato for my appointment if I
do. Good afternoon, Mason; I shall Htroll
home, and try my luck again to-morrow
morning."
As Guy L'Estranco bcixan relrncinir
his stops along tho road, the faco of na
ture seemed to havo changed at any
rate, for him.
Tho nearest way homo was hr Lock-
ley woods, and these ho entered through
a gap in tho hedge.
It was, to n certain extent, 'private
property, nnd tramps and gypsies would
havo been ordered off it.
But Guy L'Estrange, owner of the
park, was privileged, and ho swune alone
the beech and oak avenues ns it he had a
right there.
Ills mind, in fact, was strangely con
centrated on ono thing a desire to roach
tho lodge ns quickly as possible, to seo
May (from whom ho had been separated
only a couple of hOursand to bo suro
sho wnB safo and well.
Guy ridiculed all kinds of presenti
ments, and evorything of a liko naturo,
and yet ho was ill at caso and nervous;
so much so that when, presently, a femalb
form suddculy appeared from amid a
clump of trees, hp started violently.
It might havo been because ho was
plunged in aroverio; but, at any rate,
tho fact remained, nnd with a half bow
he turned rapidly asido to avoid the
stranger.
She advanced quickly, however; and
beforo ho had time-to realize what, was
happening bIio had placed her hand upon
his arm and thrown back her veil, re
vealing a faco of exquisito beauty. ,
She looked up into his face with a
glanco in 'which eager lovo and fear wero
strangely mingled.
'iQh, UoyP she cried, "how glad I
am I havo met you I How cruel to have
left mo without a wordt"
For a moment Guy L'Estrange wns too
petrified with astonishment to speak, but
at length ho contrived to say:
"Madam, I am sorry if my words give
you pain, but you have mado a greit
misiaicc, ono wiucn to ao is unaccount'
able. My nnfnio is Guy L'Estrange. I
am the owner of the park yonder, tho
wall of which you can now see. "If you

(ho was going tosay assistance, but ono
glance bad-assured him showasilchly
drossedor that tort of thing. But you
liaye, I regret to say, mado somo sad er
ror as regards me."
She gazed at him with a look of min
gled scorn and wonder, though there
was something of wistful disappoint
ment and tender reproach In her glori
ous pyes.
''No, I hayo made no mistake," she
said. "You aro my husband', Roy Tal
bot, and why you aro masquerading here
under janother' namo I am at a loss to
understand. However, if this is (ho way
in whicli;you intend to act, it will give
me my puo. pur abrupt ana cruel let
ter to nJo I intended to havo passed over
and forgiven, but"
ttKitrai resotro. i oouiu not (Milore umm

ohftd! But I will not donist in ray
dsorott. Ho) I must so on now to the
bfttur end for iny llttlo Roy's sake."
Aad with these wordj sho itrodo away
after him.
She had scarcely disappeared whan
another llguro appeared on tho scono,
that of Clare Raymond.
Sho looked white and scared, nnd her
left hand was pressed over her bosom as
if in paiu. -
"Fool that I ami" sho murmured.
"Even now, when Fnto Is working for
me In every way, I Hem to have no
courago to work tilings to my own uso.
What shall I do. next? How unravel
this tangled skein without assistance?
And yet my reveugo will be but n poor
ono after all. If he is married, all is
lost! May Fielding will Buffer bitterly;
but so, also, nlasl shall I."
Even ns sho spoko a loud, shrill cry
echoed through tho woods, a cry as of
some ono imploring help.
Clare gave ono storied look "round,
hesitated n moment, and then, bravo' at
last, plunged into tho thick plantation
where the two had disappeared and fol
lowed thoin.
II.
An influx of visitors had prevented
tho proposed pony drive; and Clare Ray
mond, impatient of disappointment, and
with a mind inflamed by resentment,
had slipped on hor walking things and
quilted the house.
Never for one moment had sho . im
agined that any discovery was awa(ting
her in Lockley woods.
But fato plays strange tricks.
Sho cho30 tliat way as if impelled to
do so against her will, for it was nbt a
favorite walk of hers.
And she had found what?
Tho time'passed drearily for May. '
At dinner Mrs. Raymond had a head
ache, and Clare was palesilent nnd al
together "mysterious and stupid," as
May told her laughingly.
After dinner Mrs. Raymond went to

bound to comojright on a charge of at

May uttered a gasping cry.
Could this bo truo, or was it somo hid
eous dream? Guy her Guv. her be
trothed husband arrested on so foul a
charge! It seemed impossible.
At first the world seemed swimminir
round with hor; thon, catching sight of
a look on Claro'a faco which sho had
never seen beforo--rrlook of malignant
triumph she roused herself.
Toll mo all, Mr. Armstrong." she
said, "I-will not interrupt you again."
Briefly then he narrated what had
happened in tho woods; tho claim which
the straifgo woman had made upon hira;
his hurried doparturo homo and tho sub
sequent finding of tho woman in tho
wood, severely wounded.
"But is that all? asked Mav. clasninc
and unclasping hor hands, and looking
at them with wild, staring eyes. "Did

"Ay. that ho did, my dear." saiu Paul
Armstrong.placing his hand on her shoul

seen tho woman beforo in all his life, and
that no blow from him had struck her
down. 'As long as May thinks mo inno

"I think I will go to mv room." stain-'
mered May, attempting to rise.
But tho effort was too much for her:

"In that case," said JLiy. "i ll urlvo

"Madam," said Guy L'Bstrange, who
saw now tliat some real danger might
lurk for him in the shadow of this wom
an's error, "lunpot permit you to waste

But now anger got the better of his
tender heart.
Heaven! If her words wero believed
by others!
May, almost his wife now, would be
taken from him!
Anger and loathing took Jlie place of
compassion for the beautltui stranger.
He shook her off roughly.
"I have had enough of this," he saidj
In a hard, coid voice which May rieta

and looking up every fivo minutes at the
hands of tho'clock which ticked so softly,
so nggrnvalingly slowly, as Bhe thought,
on tho mantelpiece.
Guy had promised to spend two hours
with, thorn that night; his usual time
was half past 8 when ho did not cqmp to
dinner, which at the lodge was served
punctually at 7.
It was now half past 0,
"What can bo keeping Guy?" cried
May at last, flinging asido her book pet
ulantly; "lie was nover late before."
Claro glanced over at tho speaker with
a lool; which May could not fathom; it
was a strange look, half pity, half tri
umjih. . 'A
"Odd and unaccountable things hap
pen sometimes," she said. "You see,
Guy said ho was going to Barchester on
business, and it may havo proved more
tedious than ho imagined, No doubt we
shall have news of him soon."
There' was. a mocking' ring in her
Y0loe..and a mocking light in her oyesas
sho spoko, which was iiiUmse!' irritat
ing to Mav.
"What is the matter, Clare?" cried the
young girl, "You 6peak bo oddly and
ioQk so oddly, one would imagino that
you wero tho depositary of some. weighty
secret in regard to Guy, though I should
scarcely think ho would choose you for
such a purpose.
Sho spoke with nn irritability quite
foreign to her naturo, but sho felt an
noyed by Clare's manner and looks.
'Well, it would certainly not bo likely
while liev majesty the Jjrido-elecl; was in
the land of tho living," laughed Claro;
'but, really, vou must learn to bo rea
sonable Guy may jest about being tied
to your apron strings, but, mark uio, he
is the last man in the world to put tho
theory into practice,"
May was about to mako n somewhat
angry reply, when a loud ring sounded
at. the hall door, tollowed by an impatient
knock, s. i
"Thatxj not'Guy-'s ring or.kno.qk,'
cried May, springing up with a soniowhat
palo faco.
"No; but it may bo a-messago from
him or about him," said Clare, with a
significant look that was lost upon Slay,
for she had quickly crossed the room,
and, opening tlio door, stood listening.
At any other timo sho would nave
laughed at tho idea of 'listening because
an unusuallv loud knock had echoed
throuch the house. -
But she seemed to be infected by the
sarao kind -of presentiment which had
seized unon Guy L'Estrange.
At the lirst sound she had leu a mif
toring of the heart aud a wild sensation
of tho mind, such as sho had never or
perienced beforo. ,
Foolish, as she told hereon sue was to
be so afraid, she yet listened Intently.
She heard a strong, grave voice, wiucn
sho reooentzed at once as that of Mr,
Paul Armstrong, "thB family solicitor,
Then tha servant oame hurrying across
tho wido, dimly lighted lirtll.
"Miss Fieldluir,'' sho said, "Mr. Arm,

,you and Mrs.- Raymond if you can spare
tho time.

her bosom was panting with tlie wild
beatings of her heart; and hurrying
acroM to her guardian "she awakened her
ffom her sleeri.
- Mrs. Raymond was by no means heavy
headed, and Bho very, quickly roauzeu
that a visitor had nrrivod and was. desir
ous of speaking with her.
Bv the time that faul Armstrong en
tered the room, tall, white haired, florid
'and kind of manner, she was fully awake
and received him-graocfully.
The lawyer sat down near her.
TIo was usually quite at his' ease, as a
man of the world ought to be; but on this
occasion he wa. just the reverse.'-
He took out lih? capacious handkerchief,
wiped his forehead. and, though eager tq
toll his news; subsided -into ine merest
commonnlaces.
"Quite unpleasantly hot walking, he
said, with a sorry apology tor a smiie.

him on, "especially if you aro bearer
Til is story has proved a terrible
shock to her, Mr Armstrong," sho said,
"though it is as well she heard it as she
did from your lips. Sho must havo
learned tiio facts to-morrow, and, per
haps, not in so delicate a way."
ihe shrewd lawyer, accustome'd to
read character, had not passed unno
ticed tho strange looks which had crossed
Clare's face as l.o waa telling UU bad
narrative.
"What is your opinion of it all. Miss
Raymond?" he asked abruptly.
bhe answered by another question.
"Are you our family solicitor as well
as Mr. L'Estrango's, the one upon whom
he depends to provo his innocence?"
"Uertalnlyl" cnod I'aul Armstrong
decisively. "I am his legal adviser, as
I was his father's before him, and shall
move heaven and earth to prove him
innocent of this foul charge."
She gazed at him with a strange and
inscrutable look.
In that caso, Mr. Armstrong," sho
said, "I would advise you to leavo mo
and my opinions out of the matter alto
gether. Good night."
And with a low bow, which seemed to
have a spice of mockory in it, she Bwept
from the room.
The lawyer mused a moment ere ho
thought of taking his departure.
"luat girl knows more than she cares
to confess," he muttered. "Well, well,
it s uo use going in for cross-examina
tions to-night. Wo will wait and see how
tho affair goes off beforo tho magistrates
to-morrow. Dear met I wish some one
would come down, I can't go back to
that poor fellow without any message at
an.
Aftr a littlo longer waiting ho was
relieved by tho appearunco of Mrs. Raymond.
"How is Miss Fielding?", he inquired.
"Bettor, I hope well enough to send a
message? I really don't liko the idea of
facing Guy unless I can carry him a
word of comfort.
Mrs. Raymond smiled through her
tears.
