Tho maeeatro of Guy to May restored her greatly, ami she seotned by night timotohavoquitoiriicoverouiierstrengui. At the usual time for retiring sho wns cliatting piyly to (.'Ure. who had been strnnge'r reserved and silent. At length sho interrupted nor. "Mav." sho said "you pain rho by thoso huppy, trusting words of yours. I liavp kept silent up till now, because you wcro so weak nnd ill; but it is only just that I should speak. Oivo mo your promise first that you will bo brave, nnd that you will beliovo that I only tell you what I do for your good." Blay turned vory tiale, but she alippoti a trusting hand into that of her enemy. Tell me all," Blie snid; "it will be bet- tor for mo to know." "You must hope still for tho host, dear," said the wily traitress, "because nothing short of utter compulsion will force words front me. But Guy L'Bs trange is guilty; I saw him myself in the woods; I saw him strike the woman to the ground in his rnge. Oh, Clare, Clarel It is not, it cannot bo true!" cried Hay, as sho flung herself on the breast of her supposed friend. 'I will never behovo thut Guy could be a betrayer and a murderer." "No, no, Mar, said Clare, pressing May's head to her breast in protended fondness, that sho might not seo the vengeful glitter of her oyos, tlio serpent liko triumph on her face; "I do not say that. I saw and spoko with Guy nftcr it was all over, and I can relievo your heart of a great deal," "Tell me tell mo then. I beg," said May. "Do not fear for me. Anything is bettor than suspense. It is that which prostrates mo and seems to rcnu my heart with hopeless dosjiair." "Listen, then, May," said Clare. "Do not interrupt mo and I will explain all. But above all remember that not a word of what I say must bo repeated to any ono, not oven to my mother. "I promise that, whispered poor May, still nestling her aoliing head on the warm bosom of her betrayer, "all shall bo sacred between you una me. "Well, then, continued Clare, "I saw Guy L'Estrango strike this woman down, as I havo said, and sho saw mo aud knows that I was a witness to ail. Sho will tell this when she recovers her senses, and thoy will force mo to be a. witnosa against him. But he has qutto cleared himself in my oyos. That woman Is not hia wife nor anything to him. Sho never was; of that ho has convinced me. It waa all a hatched up story to extort monoy, but so well was it-concocted that, in his. (ter ror nnd dismay to llnd that his marriage with you would be put off and all his prospects ot happiness perhaps blighted forever, that ho lost command over himself and struck her, never intending to deal so violent blow, Hut it was ooivaiiuy to strito a woman nt all," sobbed May. "Yes; it would havo been utterly cow ardly and wicked had ho lhoant it," Baid Claro, "but ho did not do it in premedi tation, and ho was bitterly repentant after, IIo wanted to remain, and do his host to rcstoro her to consciousness, but I persuaded him to fly whilo no Grangers wcro about; and having seen that tho woman was quickly recovering her senses, and hearing footsteps approach ing, I confess I fled, too. It was then I met Guy again and hoard from his lips tho proof of Ills innocenco pf what the woman charged aim with." "What is to bo douo, thenr sho moatied. . . "I wish ho had not struck that woman. It seems to lower him in my eyes. Oh, Claro, if that part of your story could bo blotted out I should bo o, happy girl." "lou do not lovo him, then," said Claro, gently putting hor from her und rising; "if you did you would find ex cuses for him In his utter despair at be ing compelled to loavo you an ho feared ho would. Good night. May. He sent you a hopeful, loving message. I don't think it would conduco to Ills well doing if ho hoard your doubts and complain ings to-night." "Cut stay, Clare," cried May, clinging to hor; "what is to be tho end of It all? If ho did tills thing, if that woman forces you to speak, lio will bo convloted.' "Tliero 1b no doubt of that," said Clare; "and ho will bo heavily punished. Wo must mako up our minds to bear that unloss otto of two most unlikely things uappono," "What are they?" "Either that tho woman dies beforo she recovers consciousness or that ho oa oanee. Tho latter is tho more improba ble in these matter of fact days or well built places of detention and wide awake police. And yet such things do occur, and there is at any rate a baro poselblli ty that he might escape. It he does he will, of course, have to fly the country, , 'Tliat would be a confession of guilt," Bam juay, "Well, what else oould he do?" said Clare; "if ho remained ho would simply be placed lmolc in prison, under far more unfavorable circumstances. No. If he once escapes lie mutt leave England, and It in rnrv linllkulv von would him ,n for yean unle"' lu,toed' y fled now, and you, my dear, look as if a long sleep would do you good. You must try nnd keep up your strength, for who knows wliHt fresh trials tlie morrow may bring?" She bent to impress a treacherous kiss on the girl's forehead, and then hastened to her own room. Here she at onoe began to undress sitting the while before the mirror and admiring the Juno like beauty she re vealed. "IIow can he nreftir her Inainid beauty?" lie niutterttl to herself, as she surveyed again her own ample ouarms "a weak faced, helpless child! Uahl luUe my elf when 1 find myself pitying; -her. must aud will go through with my plan I liave beguu It. What a pitiful coward I should be to abandon It iiowl" For hours the sat there perfecting eUeine a achemedlabolloal la 1W treao) rv and erueltv - 'i uwt what of thaw 1 "rf " It meant May's shame and ruin; but then, to Clure Raymond it meant- the lovo of Guy L'Estrange. Was uot that worth fighting furf And while tliio arcu neuu was con cot-urn- pUna fir the destruction of her belph-iw, inniHMBt foe, May, lying in her U'noly led, was revolving inner mind tl worda wliiuli Claro Itaymoud had "Unlosd she were to tly with him they might uot meet for years. As if she could doubt? As if, were .be to bear hi dear voice not yield to any proposal ho maddl Euoapol wnai ueiigni4rthare seemed n0w ln that ono wordl It might menijto othors a coufbseibn ot guilt nnu sirnme. But to herit meant tlie safoty Of hot lover nnd their flight to happiness to gether. And so at length, tired put by the ox. oitement and her sorrow, sho slept in sVeet peaeefulnass, dreaming of Uappy days with Guy, and never oflM rtelug dimly, in all her visions, tho swtml"whicb was about to fall. V. The days passed wearily. The condition of tho woman upjit the infirmary had not changed, and nothing further had transpired. It was a dead level of monotony wait ing, waiting and May Fielding's-jjpiriti fell accordingly. The weather, too, had changed to a dull, driezlin:; rain, wearisome and depress ing, and though, as May Fielding safi in her own room on this eighth night attet the outrage, tho downpour had coad, there was pitch blackness without, and the wind howled dismally among the dripping boughs and over tho sodijqn lawns. A fitting accompaniment sho thought to her own weariness and sorrow. Tliero seemed nothing to look forward to but the cold routino of n public trial, which, if Claro's words wero true, could havo but ono ending tho conviction of LGuy L'Entrango and n long, terrible term or imprisonment. Only ono thing in all was sure hot certain, unswerving lovo for Guy. Sho was seated at tho fire, which, In spito of tho time of year, sho had Jiad lit, for sho was chilled and pulseless, when a slight noise nt tho window at tracted hor attention. With a nervous, startled feeling at her heart sho turned her head and waited. Again tho sound camo tap, tap, tap. "Who is there?" sho cried in n tremu lous voico, as sho drew aside tho cur tains. As she did bo, she needed no answer; ono glanco gave her that; and bho start ed back with a cry of mingled joy and fear. For there, without, palo and ghastly, but certainly living, was Guy L'Es trangc. In nn instant sho had opened tho win dow, and stepping out on tho balcony1, was clasped to hor lover's breast. Again and again ho kissed her passion ately, and then in a low, murmuring voico ho said; "May, my darling, I daro not stay hero. Somo ono will bo euro to observe u.i. I have escaped, and shall bo pur sued. Havo you courage to come out and meet rao at tho boathouso by the lake?" "Yes, Guy," sho said, and in n daged way sho moved as if to go at once. "No, no," Bald her lover, "you' must put some thick wraps round you tp coni ceal tills light dross, und-put ounhaC I may keep you Bome'tfme,, ; h Sho went in at once, and in a fow mo monta returned. " .J Sho had elefsed the French! wlitdow be-' hind her as sho entered, and when she opened It again ho was gone, - Sho was all in dark things now, and tripping down tho iron stops leading, from tho balcony, sho was soon Bpeodlng over tho wet lawn, confident that no ono oould seo her in tho darkness. But two oyes had seen hor, and watched her going in cruel triumph thoso of Claro Itaymortd, May found her lover at tho boathouse, his hat pulled over his oyos, tho collar of his big ulster buttoned round his throat so that vory llttlo of his faco could bo seen. "May," ho said, taking her hand In his and looking down into her faco (she could not see his eyes in tho gloom, but sho guessed how lovingly thoy beamed upon her), "I am como to-night to put your love to a great tost. Nay, hear mo out, for at any moment wo may seo the lanterns of tlio polico lulling hither aud thither iu Bcarch of me. Claro has told you oil my cowardly folly and my pun tshmcnt, She has told you, too, that I am innocent of all oavo that blow that that woman was never my wife or aught to mo." Yes, sho has told me," whispered May, nestling to him. "Thanks for your sweet trust, May," ho Bald; "but all tho trust and lovo ln tho world will not avail mo if I remain in England. If I stay hero I am doom ed. I cannot deny tho blow; it was wit nessed and will bo sworn to, and. May, bear it bravely, my love tho woman is dead. Tho clmrgo against mo now is ono of murder." As his strong arm bold her, ho felt how sho shuddered, and he bent and kissed her. "I am loaving this place to-night," he said. "To-morrow 1 must bo on Uio sea. Never more can I set foot In England, We must part, dear one, this night for ever, unless" "What?" cried May, turning her star tled face to his. "Unless, my own, my darling," ho cried, holding her passionately to him J -unless you win ny wiui me. wo emui not want for money; I will secure oil that. If your love is as great as mine. my sweet, tliero will be no craving to re turn hither providing we are together. May made no reply, but nestled to him moro oloeely, sobbing wildly on Ids breast "Do not let me tako you from your home, dear," ho continued, "to share my dishonored name, it one thought, ono doubt, binds you tolsnelanu: but remem ber, May, if we part now it la forevor." "I will go, Guy, she whispered. "How can you doubt me? You are my life my alll" He rained kUses on her lipe bo passion ately tliat May wondered, while he thanked her iu broken words for her love and trust. At tlds moment a light was seen in the trees afar off, and a whistle sounded. "Ah," Jie cried, "thoy are after mo al ready. Uvon now, May, I almost think myself a coward to ask you to sharo .my troubles and dangers. Perhaps, after ail" "Hush, Guy! she said; "let us go. Bvery moment increases your danger. Across tlie grounds they hurried, and were soon in tlie highway,' Here a oloaed carriage was waiting. and helping May in, Guy gave the word to tlie driver, and they were soon speed lug away at a rattling pace from L'Ee- trange Turk. May lay silent in her lover's arms. She felt no deairo to talk; and eveu she had, the rattling of the carriage as it sped along so swiftly would have pre vented tier from doing so intelligibly. Left thus to her thoughts, she could caU usxiMtr aasov. ll a Knew not what, and again and again sho was on tho point of withdrawing herself from hor lover's arms and say ing words which would havo stopped ..mi itigui iorever. Uravo or not, Bho fought with this feeling and conquered it; so much so, that when tho veliicle drew up with a jerk at tho first railway station that Guy uuivi. Biop qi eno awoto irom a sleep sho had been enjoying In hor lover's arms. In tho train Guy disguised ldmself even moro, putting a thick muffler round his nock, nnd subsiding into a corner with his arm round May's waist and her head resting on his shoulder. London was reached In tho small hours of tho morning, nnd Guy at once chartering a cab, ordered tho driver to tako them at full speed to an obscuro street In a south London suburb. It was extraordinary to May to see how clear sighted ho was through it all, as if everything had been arranged bo foreliand. ."Whore aro wo going, Guy?" sho asked, as they rattled onwards through tho somewhat grimy streets. "To Mrs. Preston's," ho said, "an old servant of my aunt's. I will leave you there, for I must hide away In far moro dismal Bpots than that, whilo this huo and try is after mo. Sho is a good old soul, honest and trustworthy, but you must not confldo in her too much. Hero you must bo Miss Maud Rivers, and I must pass as Tom Hartley. I thought of thoso names on tho road, and telegraphed to tho worthy old soul, so sho will be quite ready to welcomo us." Again that unaccountable, uncom fortable feeling passed through May's whole being, a dread that sho had done wrong, a feeling, in fact, which she did not liko to confess to herself. Mrs. Preston was all that Guy had said, kind, respectable and hearty in her welcomo. Sho at once drow May into a room with a bright firo, very acceptable on that muggy morning; but Guy would not como In. "I must not bo Been about in tho day light, my darling," ho said. "I must get away whilo tho day is dull and heavy. Expect mo to-night directly it Is dark. I will arrange about tho spo clal license, and we can bo married in three days," Aftor which it seemed strango that directly "ho quitted tho street ho hailed a liansom nnd ordered tho driver to take him to tho Clarendon club, which he entered quite openly, nnd passed into tho coffee room as usual. What could this mean? Was Guy de ceiving his trusting llttlo tlanceo after all? Timo passed very wearily for May Fielding in tho dismal littlo houso at Brixton, with nothing to amuse her but tho dull babblo of tho well meaning landlady, the perusal of somo out of date books, and tho contemplation of tho mo notonous row of houses opposite, varied only by the different color of a blind or tho disposition of a'flower. Guy sho saw littlo f. Ho camo for a few fcinutes only on tho first evening;, saying that even this short visit, which began and ended in tho passage, was at tho peril of Ids life, and regretting in bitter terms the necessity whith would forco them to bo married in tho dismal little parlor of the Brixton lodging house. Hawayer, it was heaven where sho was, and so on, and off ho was again. A dull pain was at May's heart 03 ho left her, and sho hurried up to her littlo room. Was her awakening coming? And ought sho not bo thankful, If- it wore so, that it did not como too late? Sho wept bitter tears; she blamed her self for her inconstancy; Bho murmured the namo of "Guy, darling Guy," and begged him, as If present, to forglvo her; aud yot sho craved to be at homo at the Iodgo with Claro and Mrs. Raymond, and found herself wondering whether, after all, sho could ever havo loved him at all. for tho feeling, all mastering oa it had been, seemed fast dying out. "Never mind," Bho 6old, as her poor aching head reatod on n wet pillow that night; "I must go through with it all now for Quy s sake. No doubt my feel Ings nro only those of a foolish, fright ened girl. Never shall Guv be able to say that I fled from and betrayed him in his hour of Clanger." tor two days she saw nothing of her lover; on tho third he brought the special license and tho ring to show her. Sho trombled aud blushed a little when she saw the plain gold circlet and tho formidable official document; but when ho had kissed her pouting lips, and whis pered words or laving and blissful an ticipation, sho felt moro restful, and lay In his arms liko n tired child in tho dull glow of tho parlor flro. For it was noticeable that when he came tho lamps wcro never lit; tho two wero always, left to the lovcruko light of the flamee. "Ono could never telL" Quy said, 'fwhon or where spies might bo about. They might bo peering through windows and listening at koyholes, and so forth, when everything- seemed Btlil and ee- ure." , . It was on tho next night that May, having seen nothing of Guy, retired to her room early to read beforo retiring to rest. . This, to-night, woa moro than ever a necessary proceeding, for her mind was in a Btato of wild unrest. To-morrow was to bo her wedding day, Two days after site would quit England with her husband forever, Why was It that dream voices kept saying to her: "Do not go; do not bo readily leave homo and friends?" Her mind was too excited for tears; her heart was beating high; she could not read, and flinging down her book impatiently she rose, and looked out upon the garden, upon which the rays or the moon wero now shining brightly, Tlio strips of ground at the back of tho houses, wero bounded by a soroowlutt high back fence, which se para tod them from a piece of waste land on which were sundry evidences that an enterpris ing builder had Intended making a rusli into work, and then abandoned It. Far over there, beyond this waste, rose a ciiurcn spire. On either side were some trees, and here and there n pool shining in the sil ver light of the night goddess. And therel What was that? Her heart gave a great leapusehe rec ognized a tall figure in an ulster dashing across tlie waste ground at a headlong peed. Was tliat Guy and were Ida pur suers after him? A sickening feeling of dread Invaded her heart, and though her bosom heaved madly wltli the wild beat ings ot her heart, she stood and watebed. The tall figure had evidently for tlie time given bis pursuers tho slip, and waa evttl new climbing the high funo. tll0JC If no came over Hotnowiiat ciumstiy, partly through his long coat aud partly through norvousnew, and ho foil. Ho was up in a moment, however, and hur rying Into tho houso. When May doscended unsummonod to tho parlor, which for tho first timo was lit up, sho found Guy in his Bhirt sleeves nnd Mrs. Preston busy with cold water and sponge. Guy had cut his arm badly, and the blood was pouring from an ugly wound. "Let mo help you, Guy," said May, amazed at sho know not what ns sho gazed Into his hard set face. "Run aud get somo bandages, Mrs. Preston, whilo I tatho his arm." "Ah, thankee, child!" said tho worthy woman. "I couldn't do it all by myself, and I didn't liko to call you. I know girls don't fanoy tho sight of blood." May felt, sho know not why, that a crisis in hor llfo had como, and sho braced herself to meet It. She rolled Guy's right shirt sleeve up higher, that ho might help her. It was tho left arm that was hurt, aud badly, too, tho flesh being lacerated deeply. In one instant sho had learned tho fact that this man who stood beforo her in tho Bcmblanco of her Guy, her own darling Guy, tho man for whom she had deserted homo and friends, had no mark on his right arm I Her heart beatns if it would burst; but in this supremo moment she kent calm. Sho know that tho slightest display of emotion would ruin all. She, na calmly as sho oould. rolled nn tho other Bloevo higher, and saw what made her brain joyous and hor wholo being become infused with a delicious thrill of relief. Tho woman who had been so cruollv used in tho woods had muttered some thing about marks on Guy's arm. All they had heard was tho word "dagger." un tho left arm of this man was n cross aud two daggers, and just above them tho jagged scar of a sword tlirust. At this moment Mrs. Preston re-entered tho room. "I am glad you havo como," said May. "I miscalculated my strencth. Blood always turns mo faint." And sho staggered from tho room. When Mrs. Preston went un nresentlv to hor with smelling salts and a glass of wine, sho found her extended on the floor In n dead faint. "Where is where is Mr. Hartlov?" wero her first words when sho regained consciousness, and Bho gazed as-if in fear round tlio room. "Oh, h;'s KOne." said Mrs. Preston cheerily; "ho left his best love, and Bald the clergyman would bo hero very early; and that ho would got you over to Franco quick, Instead of stopping here," May quickly took her resolution. "Thank you, Mrs. Preston," bho said, "for your kindness in bringing mo the wine; but tliat is only a stimulant for tho moment, and I must liavo something to mako mo feel strong and look bright on my wedding day." (She shuddered Involuntarily as she uttered tho worda.) "I will go out to tho 'doctor's, whoso light I oeo at the end of the street, and get him to" prescribe for mo." The kindly look died out of Mr. Pres ton's face, and a stern frown took its placo, "Not to-night, miss," she said, edging towards tlio door. "I was told most particular not to let you go out nt night; and Mr. Hartley" "Nover mind Mr. Hartley," said May, with a mirthless attempt at a laugh, as she put on her hat and throw her travel ing cloak over her arm. "Timo enough to obey him when I liavo said tho ortho dox words 'lovo, honor and obey.' Kind ly let mo pass, madam," Tlie latter worda wero added in a hard, commanding tono qutto unusual to May, 03 sho advanced quickly. Mrs. Pre3ton was de3perato; sho had long seen that all was not quite right between tlio "lovers," and Bho would lose a, big reward if sho allowed tho girl to escape. Sho stood, therefore, at tho door to prevent her egress. But Bho had entirely miscalculated tho strength of will existing In that youthful mind and the power lying dormant in tliat lituo young form. With one spring, May Fielding had darted for ward, and seizing tho woman by the arm, had swung her backward into the center of tho room. Then, without a pause, alio' fled down tho Btalrs, out into tho street, and away toward tho busy highway at tho end. Sho had money with her, nbuudance for her purposo, and hailing n cab she drove to tho police station. After an hour's interview with n very delighted and astonished inspector, the bravo glrldrovooftngaln, thistlmo to the railway station, ot Euston. It was apparently a very pleased and self possessed young lady who took a llrst class ticket by tho express to Uecp ford, who gavo tho porter half a crown to obtain her a carriage to herself, and who made herself cozy in a corner for her long journey. But pa the train began to tear madly along, shrieking through the fields and villages, May Fioldlng lay in a tumbled heap on the floor of the carriage, oblivi ous to all. Mrs. Raymond and Clare sat in the drawing room at the iodgo. Tlio former was indulging in ono of hor favorlto naps; Claro had been pro- tending tQ read, but as soon as the regu lar breathing of her mother told herthat sho was ln the land of dreams, she throw aside her book to think. The flight of May hod cauaed tho ut most consternation; none the lees so when It was found that, in virtue of her father's foolish will, sho liad transferred all her mpney iq tlio Alliance bank to Mr. 'i nomas Hartley, Clare, of course, kept silent, refusing to judgo her in any way; only expressing n hope that Guy L'Estrange would be satisfied now of tho worthlessnoss of tlie girl with whom ho had been so infatu nted. That morning uews had como that tlie Injured woman at the tnurmary had re covered her senses and was able to be carried ta the court; but as to the result nothing was yet known. And bo in tlie shadow of the big room Claro sat at the window looking across tho lawn and hoping hoping that she might see tlie tall form of Quy Liio transe striding aoros if. Hark I sounds ot wheels epproaebiog then a loud rat-tat-tat at the door. Hur ried step cross the great hall, and ln an otlier moment the door opeus and Quy L'Estrange rushes in, followed by Paul Armstrong. A RU-Ps figure springs to meet ldm and is clasped to ills Minting lu-art, while passionate kisbea rain upou her tips. Surely that umbmuI wan hr.sven Clare lay m sad II 19 WUh oru tpring May Fielding had ilai ted jorwara. Sho knew tliat that fond pmliram thoso eager kisses, were not for hor: but nono tho loss was it rapturo to He in his arms, Up to Hp, for the first nnd. it might be, tho last timet A servant in another moment entered with lights, and Clare struggled away, smiling and covered with blushes. "You did not givo mo timo. Qur." she said, "to explain tho mistake." Then sho added gravely: "Havo rou not heard?" Guy L'Estrango felt a ciddv sonoitlon of dread stealing over him. and ho grasped the table for support. "Xieara whatr ho cried. "Speak! tell mo where is May?" Who is not hero. Sho has fled." said Claro in her gentlest and most studied accents, "Sit down. Guv. nnd listen." Ho did, his brain wliirlimr and Mb heart turning 6ick with dread. But ho listened to tho end without in terrupting. Then tho wholo thing wa3 clear to him. "Sho has been cajoled away deceived by a likeness," ho said. "I know now; I feel now that tho whole secret of this Infamous affair lies in a nutshell. I had a twin brother (which was tho cause of tho strange marks on our arms), and I was led to beliovo by my father and all my family that ho died at tho ago of 10. liavo discovered since, through my dear friend, Paul Armstrong here, that ho did not; but was expelled from school (while was at homo in bad health under n tutor) and sent abroad. Ho married in Australia tho beauti ful but unfortunate creaturo, who died today, under the namo of Roy Talbot, his real name being Ernest L'Estrango. Beforo her death sho exonerated me from all blame. In her lucid moments sho recognized tho difference in our faces, In tlio color of our oyea, in the marks upon our arms. When she found ho had lied, leaving her, liko tho infa mous Bcoundrel ho was, she found a let ter which told her of his destination, and sho followed bim. She mistook mo for him, nnd, when I rushed from her, sho encountered him as if by a miracle. It was ho who struck her down, und who was teen by another woman, who, from tho description given by my brother's wife, I beliovo now to bo you, Claro. Tell me,"lio added sternly, "what did you tell 'her? How has sho been de ceived?" "I told her what I saw," said Clare, 'and sho fled," Sho thought it best to keep back the truth oven yet. Fate might btill play into her hands. Beforo tho news of Guy L'Estrangc's release reached Loudon she might bo tho wifo of Ernest L'Estrango. bho was Bilent, thoreforo, ai to her meetings with Ernest ln tho woods and the infamous conspiracy between them for tho ruin of May's happiness forover. Well, then," said Guy, rising, and pressing- tho hand of tho startled Mrs. Raymond, who had not yet been nblo to utter n word or to thoroughly compre hend the meaning of tho scene, "wo must not loiter hero, Armstrong. Yo must go to London after my darling." Ularo s patience gavo way at tha. "Whatl" she cried; "you, Guy L'Es trango, tho last of a noblo houso, will stoop to follow tlio footstep! of a runa way giri who lied from you at tho first breath of calumny? Shame upon youl Rouso your manhood and your pride! Let her go! She is not worthy of a sec ond thought!" Ho read her secret in her parched lips, her shifting color, her heaving bosom, her wistful oyos. This woman loved him with nn absorb ing passion as yot unknown to ldm, but which, now ho had realized its existence explained all that had occurred. I shall follow the dictates of my heart. Clare," ho said, "and that bids mo save my darling if I can." j mis moment tnero was again a knocking nt the door, and a servant en to rod presently. "A groom has ridden round from the park, Mr. L'Estrange," sho said. "Miss Fielding is there. Sho was brought thoro in n carriage, very ill." Uuy waited for no more, not even to ask tho lawyer to follow him; but, rush ing out, lie leaped on the groom's horse, and was all like lightning. Paul Armstrong, beforo ho went. turned to Clare Raymond, saying in low voice: "Young lady, you played a desperate gamo, which might havo resulted In very serious oonsequences. I suspocted you all along. Then, bidding adieu to Mrs. Raymond. bo hurried out, just In timo to catch the groom gossiping with tho servant, and to walk quietly with him to tho park. May Fielding was delirious when her lover reached home; and it was many a long day and night before she recovered sufficiently to look back upon tho post and oomprehend the present. It was to Guy's aunt that Bho poured forth all her troubles her interview with Clare; tho coming of her supposed lover to the lodge; his entreaties; her flight and her revulsion of feeling; how she only saw her pretended lover by night; bow she strove to love and respect him, ana now tier Heart ait the time was yearning for home and for something which slie seemed to liavo lost. In his secret heart Gny hod felt sorely aggrieved tliat May should, even for moment, mistake another man for him; but the illness, even unto death, through which slie had passed; her wistful, child, Like eyes; bar pretty peuiteooe awl self aluwement eouquered him, and lie took. her to his heart as truly aud as lovingly aa ever.
