Just then came a rustle of silk on

over the railing.
"Who I.s it. .Uhn? What's the mat

"A stranger? Good heavens! The

"Let him speak, then," lifting his

His passion ami despair moved the
woman more than she was willing to
acknowledge.
"Hush!" she cried, trying In vain to
calm herself. "Slum! out of my way.
How dare you ever speak to uie after
what has passed?"
She hurried Into the house, pretend
ing to he very angry at Ills presump
tion. Iiut her heart beat fast, and It
was with difficulty that she kept back
the scalding tears that rose to her
ey s.
An hour later. In the brilliantly-light
eu ilrawitigroom. other bearded llpn
were pouring their tale into her car.
"I have learned to love yon passion
ately already," the so called Paul Kay
nor sa.u. Miiiiiiieninok would be a
dreary place. Indeed, without your pres

clared your Intention of marrying the
missing heir when he came to light.
Here he s, at your feet, darling, icudy
lo take you at your word."
Hut Mrs. Kaynor drew back, pule and
trembling,
"It was a foolish apeech," she pant
ed, "an idle Jest. 1 meant nothing by
It."
"Then you do not love me?"
"No, no! Not yet how could I? It
Is so sudden."
"Take twenty-four hours to think It
over," ho said, after a dismayed pause.
"Remember how dearly you love Sum.
mernook, and how hard it would be to
Itnv your dear old uouie. Take jlty
on toy despair and jour own helpless
ness." Mrs. itnynor did not close her ryrs
at all that night. It would be hard to
go away forever. She did not. know
how she could bear it. Hut there was
John! Ills handsome, Monde face had
grown very dear to her, and It was
utterly Impossible to banish him from
her thoughts for two consecutive min
nntes. "Silly goose that I nm," ahe mut
tered, "I do bellcv 1 have fallen In
love with the fellow, and would will
ingly give up everything In the world
for his deal sake. Well, he shall never
know of my folly."
Ami yet she could not help thinking
how delightful It would be If John's
story had only len true, and he was
the rightful heir of Stimmernook.
The next day she was sitting alone
In th" dra wing-room when one of the
servants put lu-r head In at the door,
and said:
"My lady, here's a strange young
woman who claims to have business
of Importance with you. I could hot
put hi r c(T."
Mrs. Kaynor looked surprised and n
little startled as her glance fell upon
the person In question. She was
scarcely pat girlhood, and had the
loveliest face the widow had ever seen.
The month was sweet, the eyes dark
and melting, the face a perfect oval.
P.ut for her pallor, and a certuln heart
broken, despairing look, she would
have Ie en bewitching.
"Forgive me for troubling you, mad
am." the stranger said. In a trembling
voice. In fore Mrs. Kaynor could collect
herself to speak. 'T will go away di
rectly. I want my husband."
"Your husband? Good gracious,
child, why do you come here to seek
him?"
"P.eeaiise I have every reason to be
lieve that he is now tarrying under
tills roof."
Mrs. Kaynor ill t red n startled cry.
"Who is lie?" she hoarsely uttered.
"Whnl is his name?"
"Harry Hanks, and mine is Amy. 1
will tell you the whole truth, madam,"
said the poor creature, with a midden
burst of tears. "It Is shameful, but
you ought to know. My husband heard
that the heir of Sumtnernook was miss
Ing. and laid a plot to ilinvive you. and
get possession of the Inheritance. He
has a strong resemblance to the Ray
nors. and that Is what put the idea
into his head. I found it nil out by
means of a memorandum he left In his
desk, and followed him to see that no
wrong was done."
Mrs. Kaynor started to her feet, trem
bling all over.
"God bless you, child! Y'ou are just
in time."
Glancing from the window nt this
moment, she saw her two suitors ap
proaching the house from opposite di
rections. Drawing the young wife
forcibly forward, she pointed them out.
"Which Is your husband?"
"There he is," Amy answered, with
an enger little cry.
"Thank Heaven!" said Mrs. Raynor,
drawing a rtV-p breath of relief.
She waited until the gentlemen came
nearer, then pushed up the sash, and
stepped out, compelling Amy to follow.
"Here Is your wife, Mr. Hanks," she
said, presenting the trembling creature
to the pretended Paul Kaynor. "Take
her home, and sen that you are kind
to her."
The villain's face was a sight to be
hold; rage, shame and terror all con
vulsed it at once.
P.ei'ore he could recover from his con
fusion, Mrs. Kaynor had turned to
John, taktn both his hands, and was
looking earnestly into his honest eyes.
Tan you ever forgive my harshness
and Injustice?" she naked.
Something in her face made him very
bold all at once. His nrm glided round
her waist, and drawing h"r close to his
heart, he whispered, huskily:
"I believe you di love me, after all.
Is It not so?"
"Yes." she answered, smiling roguish

"In the reams ihat have been writ

makes the mistake that used to he

now obsolete with most of ills sex
that a .woman's club and a mail's
club are comparable, which, as well
informed persons know nowadays, Is
not and never was trtl". Therefore,
he starts his argument upon false
premises. Miss Winslow then pro

the women's club has done and is do
