who BBS was.
"At lastl" cried Maxey. He had been
letting the finishing tonohea' to a&ketdh
in dm liubt front tho liny window in tlio
front room And threw down his Grayon
to utter this exclamation. Dr. Lunar
had just told him that the time hud
clinic to qnoittion Ainietto.
"Rut iu .saying this, " tho physician
oon tinned, "I want you distinctly to
unrloratand that she is still in a very
dolioate state. This examination must
bo conducted jndicion8ly, and it must
ptop iit the first symptoms OH her part of
undue agitation or excitement. -At the
inmo time I am going to bo perfectly
frankvAth you. Julian, and confess that
I am more afraid of you than of the
strength of the reminiscences, This wild
eyed exhilaration in which you oooo
lidualry Indulge is as communicative to
II nervous temperament as the measles.
Yttur principal fault is that your pulse
rises too quickly. That will do now.
They 're coming, "
There was a knoek at the door,
"Comingl" echoed Maxoy, "Why
di In't you t"ll me bo at onob?"
His chief tronblo ut thi.s moment was
his hair and his necktie, the first of
Which had risen in a combative manner,
While the second somehow had arrived
at a decidedly demoralized condition.
Maxey had time only to make one'or
tT.'o frantic dashes at each whin the
door leading from the little vestibule to
the back parlor was pushed open and a
playful voi e said:
"May we oome in?"
The artist was a trifle confused by the
suddenness of the arrival and blushed
like a girl, all of which several symp
toms on his part amused the philosophic
physician very much. Hut Maxey was
an artist, and he Boon forgot his embar
rassment in his admiration of tl pic
ture that was presented to him. The
two girld stood in the doorway with
their arms about BsXh other. Miss Dye
had already regained her color, and her
eyes Bparkled with the return of health.
Thoy were about of a size, and both
w ere dark, bur there was enough differ
ence in their faces still tomako an effect
ive contrast. Even Lamar, who was not
an artist, was uw.lro that his heart was
beating a trifle faster, but like fuost of
his deeper emotions this waa a fact
known only to himself
"Shall we sit hi re on the sofa?" Ellen
asked.
"Sofa? No. Here, here! Let her sit
here by the window," cried Maxey,
"where she can see the river."
"Why, the ungrateful rascal already
has eyes for only one, and she, except
from a medical point of view, the least
Interesting' thought Lamar.
Still he ought to have been content,
for this forethought of Maxey's permit
ted him to take a chair near his own
preference,
Maxey sat beside his easel in a posi
tion from which he could lot k into the
faces about him.
Annette was just bepinninr to got
traffic! entry used to her new friends and
her new homo to be easy and natural in
their presence. Her shyness had been
wonderful, and it had taken a' long
time to conquer it. Bnt now she sat
easily and gracefully by the window, a
faint smile on her narted lies, enlovino
the boundless prospect Maxey gated j
upon her with undisguised admiration.
"You aro looking so much better to
day, Miss Dye," he said iu a burst of
enthusiasm.
"I am glad to hoar that,' 'she replied,
with a look of pleasure, "It makes mo
begin to hope that the time i.s riot far
away when I shall bo strong and able
to ro to work at something and in some
faint way repay yon all for your great
kindness. "
She glanced furtively at Maxey's
sketch. Tiie artist ol.serVed the look.
"Yon like art?"
"In my poor way, yes, but I know so
little about it. They were foolish
enongh Once to fancy I had talent for
drawing. I learned what I could from
books, A good lady who had been visit
ing my mother noticed some little
Sketches I had made, and gheWnS so
pleased with them that she promised to
give mo lessons, She was very kind, was
she not? Perhaps I might have learned
to make a pleasing picture, but I lost
1st art I lo.-t every friend I ever had."
A painful expression drove away all
at onee t tier brightness and animation in
Annette's countenance. She turned her
head to hide her tears. This little scene
filled Maxey with consternation, and
even the loyal Ellen felt a momentary
suspicion. The doctor alone remained
perfectly calm. He spoke, and his rich
Strong voice had a consolation for all
three of his hi ai'ers:
"But this same lady afterward wrote
yon a Utter, did she not?"
"A letter? No, sir."
"Very recently, I mean!"
Annette instantly became pale. She
spoke in a IdVvaioe and with on expres
sion which gave them all a chill at the
heart, for at that moment they saw the
face which had looked forth from the
little bed in the oloovo rbom. Fortunate
ly it was only thr expression of an in
stant. If it had lasted longer. Dr. Lamar
Would certainly have brok"fci up the con
ference. But it was evidently only the
transient result of the shock to a tuind
Which finds itself suddenly brought face
to face with a forgotten Irorror.
"Yes, yos, " she snid in a faint voice.
"1 remember it now. She wrote to me "
"Her name was Hapgood?" continued
the physician after a pause.
Sho looked at him a little liewildor
iugiy nnd in some degree regained hct
color.
"I am surprised at your knowledge,
but of "course you know all about it.
Why not? You haVd probably seen
my" She hesitated and finally said,
"Mfc Dye."
The physician iu his calm manner
asked another ntiestion:
"In there any reason why this Mrs.
Hapgood shonld hate you?"
"Hato Vni? nt a dreadful ideal She

tO her indeed that I WU quite suro she
1'llf.SS A'-.t.CCIAriON,
must have forgotten all about me. uurs
was only the acquaintance uf three days
ut the Somerset hotel, where my mother
took me, and two years have passed since
then."
"She is a very old lady, " out in Max
ey. "Undoubtedly that is the explana
tion. She forgot her at least so much
that the name Annette recalled nothing.
It is perfectly possible. When yon got
the letter which you Supposed came from
her, you thought it was very Btrange,
but still you went to meet her on the
beach road?"
Annette looked into the artist's face
and shuddered, but the tone in which
she spoke was more the voice of desola
tion than of honor.
"My good, kind friends, it is due to
you that I recall all this, howdvor much
it pains me. I have tried not to think
of the past while I have been here, but
it is too black a shadow ever to let me
go."
Said Maxey eagerly, "When you have
told the story once, you need never refer
to it again."
"I do not complain. It was my mis
fortune to DO bom under it. I do not
Wish to conceal anything, Indeed I
thought this letter very strange, but I
was so unhappy that anything was bet
ter than the suspense. I had nobody to
advise me. If I was imprudent, it was
not wholly strange after the life 1 was
leading. 1 got the letter in the morning,
and at noon I had decided t.) go. 1 came
to the hotel on the beach road jast be
fore sundown. I had expected to And it
just as I hod seen it once before full of
people and stir. It was a shock tome to
see it closed and deserted. It was very
cold. At first I walked up and down the
road, but after awhile, becoming tired,
I resteil myself en a seat by the way
side. It grew dark very fast after the
sun went dow n, and my heart juisgavo
me that Ihad done wrong to come. The
ocean sounded so lonesome moaning
way below me, and it awoke such a fur
lorn feeling in my heart that I believe I
was foolish enough t cry as I sat there
to think how miserable and friendless 1
was.
"What first brought me to myself
was the realization that the tears were
almost freezing on my cheeSs and that
it would soon be quite dark. I started
up and looked along tho rood There had
been but few pasw rs, but now I saw a
man coming down on tho side nex't to
me, and I waited for him to pas-.. He
was so muffled up that I could only see
his eyes, ami I thought he acted some
what strangely. He surely saw me, but
he turned bis head away quickly when
I looked at him, us though he did not
wish to meet my" glance. Then I began
to realize What a d:uigerl might be run
ning alone at this hour iu this deserted
place. I watched him fearfully as he
went on, and I saw him look around to
ward me once or twice, and filially he
crossed over and came book again on the
other side of the way. This really
frightened rue, but us he seemed to be
going by I tlurught I would wait till he
got past and then run for safety with all
my might I started out for this pur
pose, but I had run but a little way
when I heard a sleigh coming very fast
from the direction tho man iiad gone,
from the direction of the city. I thought
by the sound the horses mnst be running
away. I stepped back to the wall to be
out of hafm's reach, but it was only a
man, driving rapidly. ItWasnotSO dark
that I could not see him. He wore one
of those caps which let down over the
face, with an oval slit for the eyes. De
fore he got to nie he began a rein in
the horses. They stopped so qnloklythat
I hardly realized what was happening.
He wart out of the sleigh and coming to
ward me almost before I really knew
it. I did not even then fully understand
that I was the object ofilifl attack, and
when I did I had not the powi r to cry
out
"He seized me with t rrible strength,
putting a cold gloved handover my eyes
and mouth and forcing me backward
across the vail. I was faint with fear,
and his glove pressed me so tightly that
I could not breathe. I struggled to get
my face free, but he held mo too firmly.
Ho pushed me down in the cold snow.
He got my arms under his knees nnd
hftrt me terribly. Then I felt his free
hand searching my pockets. The rest is
all a blank to me. I must have lost my
senses at that moment. I supposed I had
a fever, for I awoke in the hospital Willi
a strange dizziness in my head."
Her voice ceased suddenly, ami each
of the three listeners drew a sigh of re
lief. Even Lamar had averted his face
lest she should see how inten sled he
was. She alone was free from exoite
mcnt Tlv associations aroused in her
mind by. her recollections seemed only
to make Ik r utterly sad and east down.
She did not ueed to tell them in so many
words that her life had been very un
happy and unsatisfactory.
Maxey was breathless to know what
the cautious physician would next do.
He was afraid lie would think that An
nette had dwelt long enough on gloomy
things for one day. To his intense relief
Dr. Lamar Boemed disposed rather to
encourago her to talk.
"Yours was a narrow eseajic, Miss
Dye," he said, "and one for which y OUT
friends must all be very grateful."
The pathetic expression in the pale
face deepened.
"My friends! All I have are w ith me
here. I lfiivo'no others; no, not one. "
The tone was so forlorn and desolate
that Miss M.i.ey'seyen filled with tears.
"Surely, surely, this cannot be!"
"Ah, it, sei ins stnuige to you because
your lifo has always been bright and
happy. You caimot understand Even
iu the little time I have been in your
pleasant home that old life of mine has
begun to seem likoadrcam. It comfort
ed me so to have escaped from it that I
have done all 1 could to forget it."
"But you must have had a good homo
and refining influences. That is liotriiy
od in all that you say and do. "
Annette's wbolo soul seemed to bo in
her reply:
"All that I havo to bo thankful for I
owo to ono sublime woman, whoso frail
life htdti between mo and degradation
and ignorance, who put her Wry heart's
blood Into making me what I an!"
She stopped abruptly, overeoruo with
emotion.
"Your mother?1 '.suggested Ellen.
"Yes, yes, I shall always call her so!
My mother! Forgive me for not having
told yon all about it before. But if yon
knew how it pained me to bring bad;
the old associations and the old feelings
Von would not wonder at my Silence.
Just now I was trying to please myself
With the delusion that it had gone for
ever." "It has!" cried Maxey and his sister
inonehrtuth. Ellen crossed the room
impulsively, and kneeling on the floor
beside Annette's chair took her hand in
hers and comforted her like u sister. In
a little time Annette was ably to speak
coherently.
"If I had not always been so seifsitive
and so bashful, it would not have mat
tered so much, but it was so hard for
me to make friends. I hfld nlways to
wait tor somebody else fa take the initia
tive. And then win n"l met persons
whom I belie red I could have loved and
trusted, as sure an that day came, the
acquaintance was .suddenly broken off,
and we wi re separated."
"Separated? By whom?"
"By by Mr. Dye. He did not wish
mo to have friends, I am sure. I hope I
do not wrong him, but I think so, be
cause nothing disturbed him more than
to find me talking with a stranger. My
mother pitied my isolation, and she of
ten tried to interest in me companions
of my own age, and then tho informa
tion Wbuld come that we Were to break
up our little home again and goto some
distant place to live. That is why Ihad
no friends. We staid so short a time in
any city, we changed our living place
so often I cannot say home I never
knew what that word really meant till
I came here, But l am only mystifying
yon, my kind friends. I should tell you
what I know of myself from the begin
ning. "Way back, beyond all that I can
really remember, there is a vague, im
perfect sense of something different
which comes to me most vividly some
times when I am not trying to think of
it But my first distinct recollection is
of playing with my little rag doll at a
window, very high up, looking out over
tho roofs. Air. and Mrs. Dye Were with
me, and I called them father and moth
i r. I always was afraid of him, and he
avoided me, but I loved my mother with
the strength of a double passion. I can
dimly remember that at that time both
of them were rather different in their
looks from what they seemed in later
years. .Mr. Dye has changed greatly.
He used to be very Wbll dressed and
careful of his appearance. That was be
fore he took s greatly to drink. Now
he seems to have no cure. My mother
was pale, Blight and sad. She wept so
much when I first rccolloct her that her
eyes were Slways red. ner husband made
her very unhappy. He never used vio
lence toward either of us. He rather
seemed to pity us, but there is an mi
kindness that is quite as deep as theun
killdnnss of hard words and blows. Ho
Was a tilei't mid moody man and was
very little in the house.
' 'I noticed as soon as I was old enough
tp notice at all that he did not like to
have me even look at him. I sometimes
caught him watching me furtively, but
as soon as he saw that I knew it he
would turn away quickly, If it was net
so absurd, I should have believed he was
afraid of me. And so my mother was a
broken hearted woman. But the less she
had in common with her husband the
more she devoted herself tome. She of
ten tuld me that she lived only for me,
and when I think how feeble she was
and what a struggle existence was to
her I cannot help believing she told the
truth. She taught me all I know. Sho
saved her pollutes and went without
clothes to buy me books. In tho lone;
days and evouings when wo wero en
tirely alono we read and studied to
gether. We had to devise places to hide
our literary treasures, for whenever he
found a book he sold it and kept the
money. More than onee our entire little
library, obtained at so much cost and
pains, was missedfhyus in tho morning.
"I should not havo be. u unhappy bnt
for tlie little knowledge of the world"
and its ways that my reading gave to
me. It made me f el tho degradation of
my position. All the time my mother
WM becoming paler and feebler every
day. Finally she took toher bed. I I
attended her!"
It was with difficulty that Annette
controlled herself sufficiently to go on.
But her resolution conquered her natural
emotion. She Wiis even able to speak in
a calm voice.
"Before she died she told me that I
was not her child. It was a secret she
could net carry away With her, She had
of ten and of ten begged her husband to
tell her who I was, but he never would.
One night when I was not 2 yean old
Mr. Dye had placed me in her arms, and
in a hurri'd ai d agitated manner had
told her that i was to be their child
thenceforth, : that We three wire to
begin traveling about the country the
very next day. Before that time he had
been very good to her, but somehow my
coming estranged them. The gulf that
began then has been widening between
them ever since. He had loved her onee,
the said, and there shb was breathing
nut her last breath in any arms, while
ho was away with degraded men, care
less what b; came of hi r. He had at last
frightened her by declaring that if she
ever told anybody I was not, their child
it would bring him to the gallows, Then
she believed (hat the secret must be ter
ribl" Ihdood, and for years she had not
dared to qui lion him again.

He only answered "I do not know. ' ' Oh,

So, Annette, I must not die yet. I feel
strange. Arrange, my pillows that I may
sit up. I can hear better then, and the
first sound of his footsteps on the stairs
trill drag me back from the very arms
of death.'
"It was night, and everything in the
house W08 still. I cried so I could hard
ly see. 1 lifted hup as she Wished,
and there sho died, with her head
turned, listening for the step on the
stair. When he came, he found us both
unconscious on the bed. Alas, mine Was
an unconsciousness that knew an awak
ening! I almost hated him for awaking
me. Oh, how like a horrid dream it
seems this, that was only a few weeks
ago!"
There were no longer tears in her eyes.
Those dark orbs burned with li light
that the physician did not like to see iu
them.
"Let us forget all this, my dear young
lady," he said. "What happened alter
that?"
"After thatWOS the little funeral, at
tended by only us two. We sat iu the
carriage that followed her to the grave,
strangers, 08 W8 had been nil our lives
long. "
"The brute!" cried Miss Maxey.
"You Wrong him," said Annette
quickly. "He was not heartless. I never
in all my life heard him speak a savage
tvord to her. And in the carriage his
grief was terrible to see. I never sawa
man weep before. It frightened ma I
tried to say something to console him.
He silenced tno with a terrible oath,
the only time he ever spoke like that to
me. Oh, Mr. Dye is a strange maul He
seems always to be brooding over some
terrible wrong, 1 have sometimes even
wondered whether his. mind was not un
settled. That Was what made my life so
unbearable. It was enough to feel the
desolation of my mother's death, but to
have him always absent or sitting in
the same room without a word, without
a look for me, that was terrible. And
still we moved about. I could not bear
to remain shut up all the time, and one
night despair gavome courage to throw
myself upon his mercy, to tell him my
nnhappiness and to beg him for a re
lease. I thought if be could allow me to
go out to work as a servant in a family
where I could earn my bread even that
would be better than this, for this was
Worse than death itself.
"He heard me out in astonished si
lence and averted his head to reply in a
voice that trembled: 'You are my daugh
ter, Annette. Tho law makes me respon
sible for you until you are 21. I must
continue to take care of you. ' Then I
told him, for the first time, that I knew
his secret. I was not his daughter. If

rfiiiS'isssij
v
"I fniii Mm that i knew di iceret,"
he did not let me go, I should myself
appeal for aid to some charitable person,
The fact that we had just come back to
the city, where I had nut the kind lady,
Mrs. Hapgood, made me think of her,
and I spoke of her. He seemed utterly
overwhelmed, and when I saw the
Btrango pallor that my rash words had
brought into his lace my angerdiod away
at once. I remembered what my mother
had told me about his fear of the gal
lows, and 1 thought there might be truth
in it. I was frightened That was only
the day before I not the letter that took
me to the hotel at Somerset."
"That is enough for that," said La
mar. "It is not necessary that you
should allow your mind to dwell much
upon the unpleasant past. Choose the
bright things, Miss Dye, if you must
think of it at all, and let the rest pi.
However, I wish to ask you ft question
or two, if yon don't mind. In the first
place, were you feeling well and strong
previous to the 9th of December last,
when yon made your unfortunate visit
to Somerset?"
"Not really well, sir. It had been in
creasing for some months. Ithinkifl
bad been well I should not havo felt so
deeply the lonesomeiu ssof my situation.
My head troublod me greatly, ami at
times I suffered from an overwhelming
feeling of despair and melancholy, which
I am sure was not natural to my dispo
sition. "
"Then as to your Bight. Could yon
not call up the face of an absVnt person
most vividly before your mind, and
shutting your eyes sometimes almost
persuade yourself that that person was
I landing before yon?"
Annette suddenly became very pale.
She looked at the physician, agitated
and amazed
"Why why, how could you know
that, sir?" she stammered she seemed
so excessively troubled end alarmed that
everybody uttered an exclamation of
Surprise. In a few moments, however,
she had partly recovered, and then she
at once went on in a hurried manner,
much as if she were trying to get away
from a dangerous topic as fast as possi
ble. "Indeed I never forgot faces nor any
thing else that I saw that interested me.
Sometimes such a thing would haunt
me for days. I suppose it wus my lone
liness and isolation that made me toko
bo much interest in what I saw about
me when I was young. I. studied over
them till they almost boeumo a part of
me at least I fancied so. Hfimetimes
when anything bad impressed itself
strongly on my mind it would eomo
into my sleep night after night until it
n ally terrified me with it.s vividness.
And really, Dr. Liumir, I should like to
f . I J i .. ' rp,-i ill
know n you consider this a part of my
diseilso?"
Sho put tho questiou anxiously, as if
it wero a most momentous one.
"Oh, no, not at all, not at all!" said
tho physician quickly, believing that ho
had alarmed her, though the fact seemed
very strange and inexplicable to him.
"I think' jierhaps, Miss Dye, wo have
talked sufficiently on such topics for ono
day. Some time when you ore stronger
we will discuss them more fully. Forget
this past that troubles you. You are in
safe bauds here, and I can assure you
that your old life is a closed volnmo if
you will only agree to make it so, My
earnest advice to you is to' keep your
mind free from it. The present and tho
future are much more.to the point."
"But what eon I do?" sighed An
nette, passing from her former agitation
to an expression of uneasiness and dis
tress. "I do ndt, I cannot feel happy
here. I know it is wrong, but I cannot
help seeming to myself a burden on my
friends, II I could only earn my own
living!"
'You shall," cried Maxey, with an
Inspired look. "You yourself havo al
ready indicated the path. You have a
talent for drawing and an admiration
for art. I will become your teacher, and
you shall be an artist."
"And make your fortune at once.
Artists always do," added Miss Maxey,
with a sly look at her brother.
"But I am not sure that lean. I
spoko too much of myself perhaps. I
may not have any talent at all," stam
mered Annette.
But tho delight and hope in her face
as she glanced at Maxey's sketch be
trayed her real feelings plainly.
"You will not refuse?" the artist
cried.
"Not, not if you really would like to
havo mo try. "
