HONEYMOON. + oy VAAL E PEE IL EE IIe She was leaning against the railing gazing wistfully down upon the sea of faces on the landing down. De- spite her 30 years there was some- thing girlish in her shrinking figure --~a suggestion of the incipient emo- tions of youth. She descended to her state room. At the door she found the stewardess, who inquired if she was Mrs. L. Smith. "That is my name, and I am going to be il." "Lie down at once. And about this bag? 1 thought it would give you more space if 1 put it in the gentle- man's room." Lucy Smith looked up in mystifica- tion. "But it is mine,' she explained "and I want it." The next day she struggled up and left her stateroom, the stewardess fol- lowing with her wraps. At the foot of the stairs she swayed and fell upon the lowest step. "It's no use," she saide plaintively. "1 can't go up-- I cafi't, indeed." H The stewardess spoke with profes- sional encouragement. 'Oh, you're all right," she remonstrated. 'Here's the gentleman now, he'll help you." Someocne lifted her, and in a mo- ment she, was on deck and in her chair. --- "Perhaps you would like yester- day's paper?" said a voice. The man in the next chair leaned téward her, holding a paper in his hand. "1 am {11,"' she answered. He did not reply, and in a moment his glance wandered to jhe card upon her chair. "Odd, isn't it?" he ques- tioned. She followed his gaze and colored faintly. The card 'read: "Mrs. L. Smith." Then he pointed to a similar label upon his own chair, bearing in a rough scrawl the name "L. Smith." "It is a very common name," she back. "What a mess you are making of your Iife."' "How will you prevent it" "By an appeal to reason." "What love was ever ruled by rea- gon?" "Great God," he retorted passion- ately. "Look things. in the face. What do you know of me?" "1 know that I'love you." . "1 would give two-thirds of my fu-|' ture--such -ag it is--if 1. had not known you." ? ' "And yet you love me." "My love is a rotten reed," he said "Listen." She bent her head. "From the beginning 1 have lied to you---lied, do you hear? I singled you out/for my own selfish ends. All my kindness, as you call it, was because of its usefulness to me. While you looked on in innocence, 1 made you a tool iu my hands for the furtherance of my own purpose.' "There is not a soul in this. boat but, believes me to be your husband. 1 have created the impression because 1 was a desperate man and it aided me. My name is not even Lawrence Smith." "Stop," she said faintly. 1 left England. a hunted man, When 1 reach the other side I shall find them still upon my tracks. It is for an act which they call an ugly name. And yet 1 would do it over agdin. It was justice." Her quivering face was turned away. "1 peached Southampton with the assistance of a friend. He secured stateroom from an L. Smith who wa delayed. 1 took his name as a safe- guard, when I saw yours beside me at table. I concluded he was your hus- band and I played his part in the eves of the passengers. It succeeded well." He laughed bitterly. Then before her stricken eyes his recklessness fell from him. "Oh, if 1 could undo this," he said, "1 would go back gladly to stand my chances of the gallows." t "Hush!' she said widly. "You must believe this," he went on passionately, 'that at the last 1 loved you. You must believe." "No, no!" she cried. And she fled into the obscurity of her stateroom.
