AN I trust you, MftUttlc?"
"Trust inc! In whnt way,
Gerald? I inn nfrnlri t have
not been pnylng much atten
tion to nit that you were say
IriK." Sim turned her beautiful
flower-like fate toward him
with a mocking move, her blue eye
sparkling under their dark lashes with
n tnlpchlcvoun light In their depths, and
with o coquettish lifting of the finely
tnui'ked eyebrows', which distracted
and unnerved him from the task he had
set himself. Would she ever bo se
rious? ever nee that life held deeper
Interests than the whims and nniUBe
ments of the passing hour?
His wife the bewitching, lovely, Ir
lesponsible being: lie went over to
where she wuh lying In a long chair In
the shadiest, coolest corner of the ver
anda, and taking her two slim white
hands In his strong brown ones, he
knelt beside her and said: "Maiidle. r
have to leave you hero with Mrs. Tall
your, and I want to feel sure that while
I am away from you, my dearest one,
that you will be prudent, and do noth
ing foolish or un suited to your position
as my wife, for which afterward you
would bo sorry or ashamed"
"Gerald!" she Interrupted, with petu
lant indignation.
,,'Tcs, my darling; 1 must speak plain
ly. You letnember last winter, it was
unintentional on your part. I know;
but still, how unhappy you were made
by all the wretched talk and gossip
thHt followed!"
"'That was three months ago, Gerald.
1 am older- now and more experienced.
J .-am sure you need not lemlnd me of
that memorable affair; It Is unkind of
you."
She withdrew her hands from Ills
clasp with a repioachful gesture, and
added, pouting:
"After all, it Is not my fault that I
am pictty, and I cannot help It 1C your
friends will admire me and pay me
attention."
.'But you will be careful, my darling:
promise me; this fellow Perceval "
"Oh! now you are going to abuse Lord
Perceval again, I suppose; I am so
tired of that topic: I shall not llstan to
a- word against him; Gerald; I have
k'nown him all my life: he is my oldest
and greatest friend, , a net I do not in
tpnd to give him up for any one, not
even for you, Gerald so there!"
She sprang to lier feet and walked
quickly to the edge of the veranda,
where she leaned over the balustrade
with her head averted fiom him In an
attitude of mutinous defiance. So
small and childlike a creature, and yet
possessed of such potentialities to
wound and hurt the man who loved her

with all the passionate Intensity of ills

slim, fragile-looking being, and yet so
powerful In wielding an luiluencu over
the hearts of those urouud her.
A look of helpless and untiled anxiety
passed over Major Jocelyn's handsome,
caroworn face. Without glancing at
him his wife continued, coldly: "I con
sider It very ungenerous of you to nt
tack Lord Perceval In the way you
have done lately, hinting at things
ngulnst him: throwing out Insinuations
fis to IiIh character, but with nothing
leally definite thut you can state
against him. You know I like him,
that he Is my friend. I call It mean of
you, Gerald, positively mean!"
"There arc plenty of things I could
stute against him if I felt so Inclined,
but there Is no need to particularize.
It ought to bo enough for you that I
tell you I distrust and dislike the man.
Lord Perceval has brought a, slur In
the names of too many women for tiny
honest man to care for his wife to call
him filend."
He spoke with angry emphasis, and
afterward there was nn ominous silence
between them for some moments. It
was at last broken by the girl saying,
with passionate reproach:
"Oh! it Is cruel of you, Gerald, to
speak to me like this, to want to quar
rel with me In these our last moments
together; to leave me with angry
words upon your lips, making me so
unhappy." Her voice trembled and
broke, nnd her hands went up to cover
the tear-laden eyes. In a moment ho
was at her side, all the severity van
ished from his face, and with his arms
around her lie was murmuring In plead
ing accents the words of .penitence and
love which mnde his peace for him be
fore he left lier.
A week had passed since Gerald
Jocelyn had bade- farewell to his young
wife nnd sturted on his journey
through the deseit to join the troops,
in advance. The still, blue heat of an"
J'.gyptlan day brooded over the quiet
villa, which f i om its lack of sign or
sound of life seemed to be piolonglng
Its midday siesta Into the evening
hours. The clatter of hoofs outside
aroused the attention of the solitary in
habitant of the veranda, a middle-aged
woman, whose strongly marked fea
tures and keen dark eyes proclaimed'
her u. person of Intelligence and de
cided character. She threw aside the
book she was reading, and advanced
toward the flight of step" where the
rider, an artillery ofllcer, was already
dismounting fiom his horse. As lie
caught sight of her. the dark cloud
of sorrowful anxiety which hung over
his countenance was visibly lightened. I

person who can help me," he cried,
"Anything wrong, Captain Fergu
son V" she asked eagerly, ns ho joined
her in the shade. Then taking in the
details of his horse's heaving sides, and
his own heated and worn appearance,
she added with increased apprehension,
"You have ridden fast no bad news I
trust V" i
"Yes, veiy bad news; the worst, us
far as 1 am concerned! Poor Jocelyn
my greatest friend, ns you know such
n good sort he was, 1 never was so cut
uj) about anything In my whole life."
He sank beside her on a seat with
nn air of dejected melancholy, nnd
passed his hand wearily across his
brow.
"Has there been a skirmish already?"
Mrs. Tallyour asked, breathlessly. "I
did not know any fighting was expected
yet; the colonel reported all quiet In
his last; is poor Major Jocelyn wound
ed?" "He Is dead, poor fellow! There has
been no fighting; it was an accident
with one of the guns, I Imagine, but
the telegram only said: "Accident,
Jocelyn killed; meet train tonight.'
That Is all X know."
"Ood God!" Mrs. Tallyour exclaimed.
"Gerald Jocelyn killed! How shock
ing! I am terribly grieved. His poor
young wife! only married six months!"
The tears rose in her eyes as she spoke.
"Yes, his wife," Captain Ferguson
answered anxiously. "I rode out at
once hoping to find you heie and that
you would kindly break the news to
Mrs. Jocelyn nnd relieve me of the
painful jesponslblllty. T have not the
courage to do it, though I don't sup
pose she will feel it much."
He spoke with some bitterness, and
Mrs. Tallyour answered him quickly:
"You misunderstand her Indeed you
ilo. Captain Ferguson, Poor child!
poor pietty child! she Is but a child,
after all. The shock will be enough to
kill her; a thoughtless, frivolous crea
tine she may be, but I believe her love
for Gerald is genuine and far deeper
than quy one suspected, deeper than
she herself Is aware."
"She has a curious way of showing
It, then, I must confess." Captain Fer
guson replied with acerbity. "I never
liked her, ou know that, Mrs. Tall
your. A brainless, selfish coquette
without a spark of real feeling for any
one but herself. I am sure I pitied
poor Jocelyn for the life she led him
last winter at Catrb, flirting with every
man she met! And then that poor fel

was a horrid business. However, this

"That fellow I'erecvntl Brute! I
wonder .Tocclyn did not put his foot
down there." Captain KcrRUson
frowned and 1 elapsed Into gloomy si
lence. "See Hint little cloud of dust. That Is
thtlr party, no doubt.
Mrs. Tallyour pointed lo tli6 distant
undulntlntr line In the desert. "I dread
this business! Poor little soul, she Is
not of tho stuff for bearing trouble
well. God knows how she may take
It."
Some few mluulcs later the little
cavalcade lode up, laughing and jok
ing, to the villa, till unconscious of,
the two people who nwalted Its nrrlvnl
in sorrowful silence, dreading tho mo
ment when their sad Intelligence must
be made?, known. Maud Jocelyn sprang
from her horse and ran tightly up the
stops toward them with it laugh on her
llpe then something in the strange
expression on the two faces that con
fronted her fiom the words of merry
greeting on her tongue.
"Oh! dear! my dear!" Mrs. Tallyour
said pitifully, taking her by the hand
and drawing her away.
"Oh! what Is It, Mrs. Tallyour? What
has happened? Gerald! Is he 111 tell
me quickly; you have he.iifd bad news,"
Mnud stnmmored in terrified accents.
"Yes, dear child, there is bad news,
be bravel" nnd the older womnn led
the girl quickly away to her own room.
There, later, a voice walled forth in
anguish, "Gerald, my love! Gerald!
Oh! I cannot bear II It is not true!
Lying dead, while I rode laughing and
Jesting ncrosa the elesert!
Then the thought of their last words
together flashed across her mind; she
seemed to see again the proud, hand
some face, nnd hear again that plead
ing, earnest voice, "Can I 'trust you,
Maudle? Promise me!"
And she had spurned his warning;
had refused his last request, and set
her whims In defiance of his feelings
and wishes. As she rode by the side
of Lord Perceval that day on the lianks
of the cnnal she had listened with
pleased vanity to his whispered words
of admiration; words which conveyed
to her mind tho roue's worship of her
beauty, nnd at the same time Insisted
that such beauty was wasted on the
grave nnd serious minded soldier, who
was cngiossed, heart and soul, in his
profession. She had listened without
protest to Lord Perceval's thinly-veiled
sneeis at her absent husband; she had
been disloyal, a traitress In her passiv
ity; false in word, if not in deed, to the
bravo nnd tender heart which beat with
such true and passionate love for her.
That evening, outside the railway
station, a detachment of soldiers nwalt
ed, in melancholy silence, tho coming
of the train which wns conveying to
them tho body of their dead ofllcer and
comrade, whom them had all respected
and admired. Close by the gun cai
rlage was standing on which Gerald
Jocelyn was to make his last journey
to the cemetery on the hillside a mile
away; nnd at a few yards' distance a
closed carriage was drawn up in which
sat Mis. Tallyour holding in mute sym
pathy' the hand of the gill widow, wl'10,
white and tearless, leaned back beside
her, immovable In calm despair. She
had scarcely spoken since she recov
ered from the deep swoon Into which
she had fallen after healing of her
husband's death had only announced
her determination to bid him a last
farewell beside his grave.
Captain Ferguson was standing near
the carilagc, and whispered to Mrs.
Tallyour that the train was signalled;
then he withdrew from her sight inside
tho station, rufllng and panting, the
train swept in; there wns a strange si
lence for a few seconds followed by a
muflled murmur of voices, tho soldiers
bent forward down their lino from one
to another, accompanied by looks of
amazed surprise. Mrs. Tallyour press
ed her companion's hand tighter, the
terrible moment had arrived how
would the girl face it? "Was it possible
that she possessed sufficient strength
of mind and body for tho horrible or
deal which she had set herself?
Then Mrs. Tallyour saw Captain Fer
guson emerged from tho station with
a dazed look of consternation on his
face, the result evidently of gieat and
overpowering emotion.
He emtio hurriedly towaid them,
making signs to Mrs. Tallyour, which
she failed to undei stand.
"Has it not come?" she whispered to
him as ho appioached.
"There has been a mistake," he mur
ium od in reply; and Maud though ap
parently unaware of what was pass
ing around her caught tho words; her
face woke to animntlon, she leaned for
ward crying.
"A mistake! Ho has not come! Oh,
tell me quickly, I can bear It, he is
not dead, he Is alive I see It on your
face, for pity's sake don't keep mo in
suspense let me out I must go to
him."
She wns stiuggllng to open the door
quietly when some one put Captain
Ferguson quietly aside, and then with
a loud cry Maud sptung past Mrs. Tall
your, nnd fell sobbing on her husband's
breast.
Yes! theio had been a mistake. Ger
ald was alive, though not uninjured;
for he carried ono arm in a tiling, nnd
a bandage rouriel his head accentuated
the startling pallor of his face,
Two words omitted in tho telegram
that day explained the mysteiy of his
resurrection. "Accident, Jocelyn
wounded; gunner killed," altered the
