" - CHAPTER VIIL
. It was the close of the season. Many
people had left town, but festivities
were still On. To a strangor the season
might have seemed at its height The
Armours wero giving a largo party in
Cavendish square before going back
again to Greyhope, where, for the sake of
Lali and her child, they intended to re
main during the rest of the summer in
preference to going on the continent or
to Scotland. The only unsatisfactory
feature of Lali's season was the absence
cf her husband. Naturally there were
those who said strange things regarding
Frank Armour's stay in America, but it
was pretty generally known that he was
engaged in hind speculations, and his
dnb friends, who perhaps took the
pleasantest view of the matter, said that
he was very wise indeed, if a little cow
ardly, in staying abroad until his wife
was educated and ready to take her po
sition In society. Tbere was one thing
on which they all agreed Mrs. Frank
Armour either had a mind superior to
the charms of their sex or was incapa
ble of that vanity which hath many
suitors and says, "So far shalt thou go,
and"--
The fact is, Mrs. Frank Armour's
mind Was superior. She had only one
"object to triumph over hwr husband
grandly, as a woman righteously might.
Bhe had vanity, of course, but it was
Hut lgnooio. one sept one imng ui
view; she lived for it. Her translation
had been successful There were times
when she remembered her father, the
wild days on the prairies, the buffalo
hunt, tracking the dter, tribal battles,
the long silent hours of the winter and
the warm summer nights when she slept
in the prairie grass or camped with her
people in the trough of a great land
wave. Sometimes the hunger for its
freedom, and its idleness, and its sport
came to her greatly, but she thought of
her child, and sho put it from her. She
was ambitious for him; she was keen to
prove her worth as a wife against her
husband's unworthiness. This perhaps
saved her. She might have lost had her
life been-withont this motive.
The very morning of this notable re
ception General Armour had received a
note from Frank Armour's solicitor say
ing that his son was likely to arrive in
London from America that day or tho
next. Frank had writton to his people no
word of his comiug. To his wife, as we
have said, he had not written for month!!.
and before ho started back he wonld
not write, because he wished to inako
. what amends he could in person. Ee
expected to find her improved, of course,
but still he could only think of her as
an Indian, showing her common prairie
origin. His knowledge of her before
their marriage had been particularly
brief. She was little more in his eyes
than a thousand other Indian women,
save that she was better looking, was
whiter than most and had finer features.
He could not very clearly remember tho
tones of her voice, because after mar
riage and before he had sent her to Eng
land ho had seen little or nothing of
her.
When General Armour received the
news of Frank's return, he told his wife
. and Marion, and they consulted together
i whether it were good to let Lali know
at once. He mightarrive that evening.
If so, the position would be awkward,
because it was impossible to tell how it
might affect her. If they did tell her,
'and Frank happened not to arrive, it
might' unnerve her so as to make her
appearance in the evening doubtful.
Rio-hard, the wiseacre, the inexhausti
ble Richard, was caring for his cottagers
and cutting the leaves of new books
his chief pleasure at Greyhope. They
felt it was a matter they ought to
bo able to decide for themselves, but
still it was the last evening of Lali's
stay in town, and thuy did not care to
take any risk. Strange to say, they had
come to take- pride in their son's wife, for
even General and Mrs. Armour, high
minded and of serene social status as
they were, seemed not quite insensible
to the pleasure of being an axle on
which a system of social notoriety re
volved. .
At the opportune moment Captain
Vidall was announced, and because he
and Marion were soon to carry but oue
name between them he was called into
family consultation. It is somewhat
singular that in this case the women
were quite wrong and tho men were
quite right, for General Armour and
Captain Vidall were for silence until
. Frank came, if he came that day, or for
telling her the following morning, when
the function was over. And, the men
prevailed. .
Marion was much excited all day. She
had given orders that Frank's room
: should be made ready, but for whom
. she gave no information. While Lali
was dressing for the evening, somewhat
excited and nervous, she entered her
X room. They were now the best of
: friends. The years had seen many shift-
i ing scenes in their companionship.
, ; They had been as often at war as at
peace,, but they, had respected each
1 other, each after her own fashion, and
now they had a real and mutual regard,
v Lali's was a slim, lithe figure, wear-
ing its fashionable robes with an air of
possession, and the face above it, if not
entirely beautiful, had a strange, warm
fascination. The girl had not been a
ohieftainess for nothing. A look of
quiet command was there, but also a
faraway expression which ' gave a faint
look of sadness even when, a smile was
at the .lips. The smile itself did hot
v' come quickly it grew but above it all
was hair .of perfect brown, most rare,
setting off her face as a plume does a
helmet. She showed no surprise when
' Marion entered. She welcomed her with
v- a smile and outstretched and, .but said
. nothing,- . : & . ...
,' "Lali, V. said Marion somewhat b
tuptlysha scarcely knew why she did
it "are jron happy?" .
. It was strongs how th Indian girl
had taken on those little manners of so
ciety which convey so much by infleo-l
rB93.BYJ.B:CiPPlNC0Tl..Co. '
tlon. Sho lifted'her eyebrows at Marlon"
and said presently in a soft, deliberate
voice, "Come, Marion, we will' go and
Bee little Richard; then I shall be
happy."
Sho linked her arm through Marion's.
Marion drummed her fingers lightly on
the beautiful arm and then fell to won
dering what she should say next They
passed into the room whore the child
lay sleeping. They went to his little
bed, and Lali stretched out her hand
gently, touching the curls of the child.
Running a finger through one delicate
ly, sho said, with a still softer tone than
before, ' ' Why should not one be happy?' '
Marion looked up slowly into her
eyes, lot a hand fall on her shoulder
gently and replied, "Lali, do you never
wish Frank to come?"
Lnli's fingers come from the child,
the color mounted slowly to her fore
head, and she drew the girl away again
into the other room. Then she turned
and faced -Marion, a deep fire in her
eyes, and said in a whisper almost
hoarse in its intensity, "Yes, I wish he
Would come tonight " .
She looked harder yet at Marion.
Then, with a flash of pride and her
hands clasping before her, she drew her
self up and added: "Am I not worthy
to be his wife now? Am I not beautiful
for a savago?"
There was no common vanity in the
action. It had a noble kind of wistful
ncss and a serenity that entirely re
deemed it Marion dated her qwu hap
piness from tho time when Lali met her
accident, for the evening of that disas
trous day she issued to Captain Hume
Vidall a commission which ho could
never, wished never to, resign. Since
then sho had been at her best we ore
all more or loss selfish creatures and
had grown gentler, curbing the delicate
imperionsness of her nature and frank
ly and without the least pique taken a
secondary position of interest in the
household, occasioned by Lali's popu
larity. She looked Lali up and down
with a glance in which many feelings
met and then, catching her hands
warmly, she lifted them, put them on
her own shoulders and said, "My dear,
beautiful savage, you are fit and worthy
to be queen of England, and Frank;
when he comes"
"Hush!" said the other dreamily, and
put a finger on Marion's lips. "I know
what you are going to say, but I do not
wish to hear it He did not love me
then. He used me" She shuddered,
put her hands to her eyes with a pained,
trembling motion, then threw her head
back with a quick sigh, "But I will not
speak of it Como, prepare for the
dance, Marion. It is the last tonight
Tomorrow" She paused, looking
straight before her, lost in thought
"Yes, tomorrow, Lali?"
"I do aot know about tomorrow,"
was the reply. "Strange things come to
ma"
Marion longed to tell her then and
there tho great news, but she was afraid
to do so and was, moreover, withheld
by the remembrance that it had been
agreed she should not bo told. She said
nothing.
At 11 o'clock the rooms were filled.
For tho fag end of the season people
seemed unusually brilliant. The even
ing itself was not so hot as common,
and there was an extra array of distin
guished guests. Marion was nervous all
the evening, though she showed little
of it, being most prettily employed in
making people pleased with themselves.
Mrs. Armour also was not free from ap
prehension. In reply to inquiries concerning her
son she said, as she hod often said dur
ing the season, that he might be back
at any time now. Lali had answered al
ways in tho same fashion and had shown
no sign that his continued absence was
singular. As tho evening wore on the
probability of Frank's appearance seem
ed less, and tho Armours began to
breatho more freely.
Frank had, however, arrived. He had
driven straight from Boston to Caven
dish square; but, seeing the house light
ed up and guests arriving, he had a
sudden feeling of uncertainty. He or
dered the cabman to take him to his
club;: There he' put himself in evening
dress and drove back again to the house.
He entered quietly. At the moment the
hall was almost deserted; people wero
mostly in the ballroom and supper
room. Ho paused a moment biting his
mustacho astif in perplexity. A strange
timidity came on him. All his old dash
and self possession seemed to have for
saken him. Presently, seeing a number
of people entering the hall, he made for
the staircase and went hastily np. Me
chanioally he went to his own room
and found it lighted. ' Flowers were set
about and everything was made ready
as for a guest Ho sat down, not think-
He caught the picture In hit hand and
. kitted U.
ing, but dazed. Qlanoing up, he saw
his face in a mirror. It was bronzed,
but it looked rather old and careworn.
He shrugged a shoulder at that Then
in the mirror, he saw also somethirJg
else. It startled him so that he sat per
fectly still for a moment looking at it
TJ wa some m -foikting at him over
his shoulder a child! lie pot to his
feet and turned round. On the tnble was
0 very largo pliotosraph of a smiling
child with his cyos, his face. Ho
caught tho chair arm aud stood looking
at it a little jlvildly. Then he laughed a
strange laugh, and the tears leaped to
his eyes. He caught tho picture in his
hands and kissed it very foolishly men
not fathers might think and read tho
Dame benoath, "Richard Joseph Ar
mour," and again, boueath that, tho
date of birth. He then put it back on
the tablo and sat looking at it looking
and forgetting and remembering. ,
Presently the door opened, and somo
one entered. It was Marion. She had
seen him pass through the halL Sho had
then gone and told her father and moth
er, to prepare them, and had followed
him np stairs. He did not hear her.
She stopped softly forward. ' 'Frank, "
she said, "Frank," and laid a hand on
his shoulder. He started up and turnod
his face on her; then ho caught her
hands and kissed her. "Marion!" ho
said, and he oould say no more, but pres
ently ho pointed toward the photograph.
She noddod hor head. "Yes, it is
your ohild, Frank, though of course yon
don't deserve it Frank, doar," she
added, "I am glad we shall all be glad
to have yon back, but yon are a wick
ed man. " She felt she must say that
Now he only nodded and still looked
at the portrait "'Where is my wife?"
he added presently.
"She is in the ballroom." Marion
was wondering what was best to do.
He caught his thumbnail in his teeth.
He winced in spite of himself. "I will
go to her, " he said, "and then the ba
by."' "I am glad," she replied, "that yon
have that much sense of justice loft,
Frank tho wife first, the baby after
ward, but do yon think yon deserve
either?"
He became moody and made an impa
tient gesture. "Lady Agnes Martling is
here, and also Lady Haldwell, " she per
sisted, cruelly. She did not mind, be
cause sho knew he would have enough
to compensate him afterward.
"Marion," he said, "say it all and
let me have it over. Say what you like,
and I'll not whimper. I'll face it But
1 want to see my child. "
She was sorry for him. She had
really wanted to see how mnoh he was
capable of feeling in the matter. "Wait
here, Frank, " she said. "That will be
best, and I will bring your wife to yon. "
He said nothing, but assented with a
motion of tho hand, and she loft him
where he was. He braced himself for
the interview. Assuredly a man loses
something of natural courage and self
confidence when he has done a thing of
which he should be and is ashamed.
It seemed a long time it was in
reality but a couple of minutes before
the door opened again, and Marion said,
"Frank, yonr wife ( and then retreated.
Tho door dosed, leaving a stately
figure standing just inside it The figure
did not move forward, bat stood there,
full of life and fine excitement, but very
till also,
Frank Armour was confounded. He
same forward slowly; looking hard.
Was this distingniahfid, handsome, re
proachful woman his wife, Lali, the In
dian girl whom he had married in a fit
of pique and brandy?. He oould hardly
beliove his eyes. And yet her eyes look
ed out at him with something that he
remembered, too, together with some
thlngwhioh he did not remember, mak
ing him uneasy. Clearly bis great mis
take had turned from ashes into fruit
"Lali, my wife!" he said, and held out
his hand,
She reached out hers courteously, but
her fingers gave him no response.
"We have many things to say to each
other, " sho said, "but they cannot be'
laid now. I shall be missed from tho
ballroom."
"Missed from tho ballroom I" Ho al
most laughed to think how strange this
sounded in his ears. As if interpreting

standing jutt inside it.
his thought she added: "You see, it is
our last affair of tho season, and we are
all anxious to do our duty perfectly.
Will you go down with me? We can
talk afterward. "
Her continued self possession utterly
confused him. She had utterly confused
Marion also when told that hor husband
was in the house. Sho had had presenti
ments, and besides she had been school
ing herself for this hour for a long time.
She turnod toward the door.
"But," be asked like a supplicant,
"our child? I want to see our ohild. "
She lifted her oyebrows. Then, seeing
the photograph of the baby on the table,
understood how he knew. "Come with
me, then," she said, with a little more
feeling.
She led the way through the hall and
paused at her door. "Remember that
we have to appear among the guests di
rectly, "she said, as though to warn
him against any demonstration. Then
they entered. She went over to the cot
and drew back the fleecy curtain from
over the sleeping boy's head. His fingers
hungered to take his child to his arms.
"He is magnificent, magnificent!" he
said, with a great pride. "Why did yon
never let me know of it?"
"How could I toll what you would
do?" she calmly replied. "You married
me wickedly and used me wickedly
afterward, and I loved the child."
"You loved the child!" he repeated
after her. "Lali, " he said, "I don't de
serve it bnt forgive me, if you can
tor the child's sake, "
"We had better go below," she calm
ly replied. 'We have both duties to da
Yon will of course appear with me
before them?" ,
.. The slight irony in the tone out him
horribly. He offered his arm in silence.
They passed into the hall and to the
staircase. "It is necessary, " she said,
' 'to appear oheerful before one's guests. "
She had him a an advantage a every
point "Wo will bo. cheerful, then,"
was his reply, spoken with a grim kind
of humor, "Yoa have learned it nil,
havon't you?" ho added. '
They wero just entering the ballroom.
Yes, with' your kind help and ab-
sonco, " she replied. .
The surprise of the guests was some
what diminished by tho fact that Ma
rion, tolling General Armour and his
wife first of Frank's return, industri
ously scat tho nows buzzing about tho
room.
The two went straight to Frank's fa
ther and mother. Their parts wero all
exoelleutly played. Then Frank mingled
among tho guests, being very heartily
greeted, and heard congratulations on
all sides. Old club friends rallied him
as a deserter and now acquaintances
flocked about him, and presently ho
awakened to . the fact that his Indian
wifo had been an interest of tho season
and was not the least admired person
present It was altogether too good lucl:
for him, but he had an uncomfortable
oouvictun that he had a long path of
penance to walk before he could hope to
enjoy it.
All at once ho mot Lady Haldwell,
who, in spite of all, still accepted in
vitations to General Armour's house,
the strange scene between Lali and her
self having nover been disclosed to tho
family. Ho had nothing but bitterness
in his heart for her, 'but he spoke a few
smooth words, and she languidly con
gratulated him on his bronzed appear
ance. He asked for a dance, bnt she had
not one to give him.' As she was leav
ing she suddenly turned as though she
had forgotten something, and looking
at him said: "I forgot to congratulate
you on your marriage I hope it is not
too late."
He bowed, "Your congratulations are
so sincere," he said, "that they wonld
be apropos late or early. " ,
When he stood with his wife while
the guests were leaving and saw with
what manner she carried it all off as
though she had been born in the good
land of good breeding he was moved
alternately with wonder and shame
shame that he had intended this noble
creature as a sacrifice to his ugly tem
per and spite. When all the guests were
gone and the family stood alono in the
drawing room, a silence suddenly fell
among them. Presently Marion said to
her mother in a half whisper, "I wish
Richard were here. "
They all felt the extreme awkward
ness of the situation, especially when
Lali bade General Armour, Mrs. Ar
mour and Marion good night and then,
turning to her husband, said, "Good
night" She did not even speak his
name. "Perhaps you would care to ride
tomorrow morning. I always go to the
park at 10, and this will be my last ride
of the season."
Had she written out an elaborate
proclamation of her Intended attitude
toward her husband, it oould not have
more clearly conveyed her mind than
this little speech, dolrvered as to a most
friendly acquaintance. General Armour
pulled his mustache fiercely, and, it is
possible, enjoyed the situation despite
its peril. Mrs. Armour turned to the
mantel and seemed tremulously engaged
in arranging some brio-a-brae Marion,
however, with a fine instinct, slid her
arm through that of Lali and gentry
said: "Yes, of course Frank will be
glad of a ride in the park. He used to
ride with me every morning. But letna
go, us three, and Idss the baby good
night 'good night till we meet in the
morning. ' ' ' She linked her arm through
Frank's, and as sho did so he replied to
Lali, "I shall be glad to ride in the
morning, but"
"But we can arrange it at breakfast "
aid his wife hurriedly. At the same
time she allowed herself to be drawn
away to the hall with her husband.
He was angry, bnt he knew he had no
right to be so. He choked back his
wrath and moved on amiably enough,
and suddenly the fashion in which the
tables had been turned on him struck
him with its tragic comedy, and he in
voluntarily smiled. His sense of humor
saved him from words and acts which
might possibly have made the matter
a pure tragedy after all He loosed his

' TO UK OOOTIjrUED.
A Quaker's Wedding.
Bride and bridegroom took their seats in
perfect silence, which reigned until one
present offered up prayer. Again stillness
prevailed for some moments, and the bride
groom rose saying, "1 riends, here in the
fear of th Lord, and in the divine pres
ence, I take this, my friend, Edith Mary
il an bury Arks, to be my wife, promising.
in the fear of the Lord, and with the divine
assistant, to be to her a faithful and lov
ing husband."
The bride's formula was in similar words,
and a gorgeously emblazoned and illumi
nated parchment, setting forth thecontract
or marriage, was then signed by both and
attested by several witnesses from both
families. Two fneuds gave short ad
dresses from Scriptural texts, another
prayer followed and, when the civil regis
ter had been duly filled up, the ceremony
was at an odu. iL.xcliange.
Tricks of Memory.
It is not unusual to find a memory reten
tive on some subjects and extremely de
fective on others. A lady of the writer's
acquaintance could tell the number of
stairs contained in each flight in the houses
in which she had lived and the various
residences she visited, yet it seemed almost
impossible for her to retain for any length
ol time a remembrance of things more im
portant. An actor once performing in a play which
bad had a lone run all at once forgot en
tirely the speech he was to make. When
he got behind the scenes he said:
"How could I be expected to remember
it forever? Have I i .t repeated it every
night for the hist 80U nights?" London

patrons that they will this year hold to their usual
custom of milling STRICTLY OLD WHEAT until the
