For she loved im. "But for one thing, she, too. might have avowed her love, and not ashamed. But there was some- thing which he did nof know of, a Secret in her life, which made that im- possible; and her heart cried out with a4 great bitterness against the fate which denied her thus the right to love. Two years ago she and careless child: came suddenly, and darkened every thing. She had come out to the islands with her father, who was, s0 the world said, a fugitive from Eng lish justice, But she believed then that the worid was wrong. She had landed in San"Miguel, burn ing with a generous indignation at the injustice of men and full of enthusiasm for the fight which she and her father would win together. The cloud which had come over the brightness of her young life was black, but she balieved that it would soon be dissipated. The truth would be known, and meanwhile exile in her father's company was no real hardship to a girl of seventeen. But two years had passed, and the cloud showed no signs of lifting Moreover her father, so far as she knew, had made no effort to escape from under its shadow, had been con- tented to live in the gloom, and seemed to have lost all longing for the light of day and truth. He had sunk, wit had been a happy then the cloud h seeming content, Into the role of confirmed invalla nursing his gout and spending his days in profitless study of the philosophy of Herbert Spencer--profitless, and even driminal; for meanwhile be did uothing to remove the stain which lay upon his name. It was this--the mental apathy which disguised itself 'in fruitless in. tellectual labor--which Elsa did not understand. It was this which almost, in spite of the loyalty of her love, caused her to doubt. The facts, as she had been told them, were these: The firm of stockbrokers in which her father was the junior pattner had Tailed, "and failed disastrously, for its operations had not been honest. Its bankruptcy was fraudulent, and a eriminal prosecution followed. The junior partner was out of the country at the time, touring in portugal' with hig daughter. An attempt was made to secure his return by extradition, but the proceedings broke down upon a legal technicality, He waited in | Lisbon until the clamor of the courts at home was over, and then changed his name, and went quietly to the Azores with his daughter. He posed, 80 long as there was need for posing, as the innocent victim of an unscru- pulous partner, He never denied that the bankruptcy was fraudulent, but he asserted that his hands were clean of the fraud. That the active manage- ment had been out of his hands. and in those of his senior partner, for the last two months before the crash, w 8 point which told strongly favor, commercial standing made their opin- lon of value, belleved him, and con. sidered him to be what he said he was, an innocent victim. There were some) however, who de- clared that the truth was exactly the opposite. Elsa had known all this, and had waited, at first patiently, but latterly with a growing impatience, for the time when her father should have al} the necessary proofs in his hands, and shou!d return to face his accusers, and vindicate his innocence. That he no longer seemed anxious to do so was a thing whieh she could not under stand. But lately the conviction had been slowly Jorcing itself upon her that he nevef meant 0 20 back; and for that weakness she almost began to scorn him She was king of these things NOW, as she stood at the door of he: father's house in the Azores and looked out into the darkness of the night---a darkness: no blacker than the despair t filled bei.

A Martyr to Gout "You quite understand. my dear," sald Mr. Page, signing to his daughter to shift the cushions, so that his left foot should rest more easily. "You are to bring me a careful description of every member of this circus troupe. You are a keen observer, and it is use of your talent now, It won't be an easy task, because you will have to penetraté the paint ands tinsel and describe the humad being underneath." "How am I to do that? asked Elsa. and added, as she gave a caressing pat to the cushion whick supported her father's gouty foot; "Is that more com- fortable ?" "Yes, thank you, dear, How are you to do it? Why, observe them when they are performing. Speak to some of them, if you can. The members of a travelling circus are not generally exclusive, and in. a foreign . country particolarly they will welcome ad- Sajcas made by those who speak their own language." "But 1 can't go and begin a casual conversation!" she objected. "Even in & foreign country, people would think that queer" "© "CC Ct "You can't," said her father, "but young Scarborough can.

A shooting pain in his gouty foot had cut his merriment short with a gasp, His daughter stood before him walting for her amswer, but the sight of that Spasm of paln cooled her anger at the laugh. "I waat to know exactly what I am to do. Are those my instructions?" she asked again, but in a gentler tance. "The spirit of them, yes. But don't hint; ask straight out. Or, get Scar borough to ask, and back him up in his request.' "1 will ask myself." said Elsa quick car, if he is a cad-- Mr. Page shot a glance at her, mov ing his eyes only, not his lead. He made a habit of economy in move ment; and besides, as Elsa was not looking at him at the moment, by not moving his head he concealed the fact that he was observing her "You don't like your asked. "No." "And I don't like sending you upon it. The part of the Spy is always an unpleasant 'one to play: hut unfor tunately it is sometimes necessar,. You understand that necessary here?"

"Little girl" he said, "we have been through hard times together, you and I; but though the world has been against us, we have heen happy, be- cause we have fought it together. Hitherto there has been confidence be- fween us. You have trusted me. Ig that trust beginning to fai) you?" "No, father." "Then why are you so reluctant now?

He was a prisoner in his chair, chained by the leg, in the &rip of his foe, the gout. How was it possible that he should not be here when ghe returned. Unless ie meant--heavens' was the danger something which threatened not liberty only, but life? Mr. Page smiled at her alarm, "I don't mean that I shall be dead, my dear," he sald,' "I do not expect to move from this 'chair, or at any rate from this reomw, til your return. But we must prepare fof everything--even for things which, at first sight, appear to be impossible.

You .g men, even the most devoted, don't like to be kept walting." Acting upon a sudden impulse, Elsa bent down, and kissed her father. The action was the more remarkable be cause she was not a girl 'who was given to showing her feelings in this way. Then she ran quickly from the room. Mr. Page rested back in his chai wih a smile. The caress had surprised him, and, curiously enough, it made him uncenrfortable. "I believe my little girl is beginning to suspect me at last," he muttered. He waited till the sounds on the gravel below told him that the pair had mounted, apd were off. Then, as though he had forgotten all about his gouty foot, hie rose and went to the window. He used mo stick, and he i did not even mp; the gout, like many 'other things in his. life, was a lie. | He watched the two bicyclists till a turn in the road hid them. Then he i turned from the window with a sighs 'That young man is a good sort, 1 believe," he said; "but T wonder whe- ther he would cry off, or stick to her, it he heard the truth about her fa ther?" ; Then, a moment afterwards, with something like a moau, he added: "And when she, knows the whole truth--my Ged! will she stick 16 me?'
