' “Heaven grant that you may find your wife, and find her alive 2" said the lawyer, rather ashamed of the moisture that dimmed his eyes; and shortly afterward, without further word or comment, Lord Rylestono drove awayâ€"ordering the coachman to drive as he had never driven beforeâ€"and reached “'slton Court with the horses covered with foam. “I have found bcr !" he said to Adelaide. “Do not wait for explanationsâ€"come with me." Quietly and composcdly she obeyed him, hardly waiting for the bonnet and shawl that were brought to her; and, as they drove rapidly along ho told her the head-waiter's story. “It is just what I should have fancied," she said. “I can imagine that she walked on and on until she fell. l'oor Margarita, it it was a mercy that she fell there!” Thcyroached Nettlebank nt last. It was nsmall house, and Mary Meadows herself answered the door. For once Lord ltylc- atono quite lost his self-comm]. “Is she living?" he cried. “For Heaven's sake, speak quickly!” “Livingâ€"and that in all," was the brief reply; and then they entered the house. The doctor had just gone, and he had given no hope. He said his patient might last ,two or three days, but no longer. “You can go in, sir,’ said Mrs. Meadows: "she Wlll not know you ; she will never know any one in this world again.” He went in. There was no mistake ; one look at the white, wan face on the pillow, and with a cry that those who board will never forget, ho knelt down by the bed- side. It was a small room; ncat and clean, with pretty curtains at. tho windows. The bed, with its white hangingamtood in a small roccss;and there, like a lovely broken lily, lay Lady llylczitono. Adelaide \vcnt up to her, and, bonding down, klflscd the white, unconscious face. The dark eyelashes novcr stirred, the pale lips did not move.

Adelaide Cameron had her reward for all her it ' watching of the invalid when one morning largarita whispered her innit-,and tho wan fried with the wurn dark eyes looked something more like the Margarita of old. Ilut those dark eyes naked a pitiful question. Adelaide lent over her. "I did not mean to steal," whispered the know in M weak. faint voice. "I know. in ‘ darling," said Adelaide: "and I know t : joy never kills. Your husband is waiting to no you. and he loves you better than ever." And then. as Lord Rylratoue entered the mum, she who had aaved. a: far as human shill could nrqh'u wife for lair-amassed out, leaving thorn tog-ether alone. The nocnday son was ahining over Nice. the warm surch air was laden. with the breath of floamhinls were singing melodi- j nottheshadowofthe vino that re inn sunngeexpreasion to her beautif faceâ€"â€" darker was brooding over her,and longed toknow the HCGK'CL of the will, not the unhappy woman who sinned for for her own curiOsity’s sake, but from the sakeâ€"who sinned because she thought the fond, false hope that she might be able to sin would save you; it must not be as the help him. “I loved you so well, Allan," she said. ti htenod their hold of you, but of the girl when this sad confession was made; “and I w 0 used to steal out and meet you, deaniu thought that no one else in all the wide the dewy morningsâ€"the girl who loved you , world could be so acute where your interests l as no one else ever will or can. were concerned as myself. I quite believed, when I read Miss Cameron‘s letter, that 1 i should find out something that had not been found by othersâ€"that I should see some lway of restoringto you your lost fortune which had not occurred to them or to you. It was not vanity which made me think so, but loveâ€"love secs so far, and so plainly. My disappointment was almost greater than I could bear, Allan, when I read the will, and knew for certain what your love for me had cost you. I could not bear the weight 1 of the burden. It was as nothing to me that they caught me, and angry voices cried out about my wickedness. I remembered only that I had ruined you. But for me you would have married Adelaideâ€"you would have kept your fortune. I hated myself be- cause I had won your love. to live one moment after I had read the will; it destroyed the life in me. I wished that I had been living in a land where suspicion of theft was punished with death. I would have died to free you from myself. Allan, I believe that I was mad; yet how could I forget your tenderness, your love? You had chosen me, and I should have been content. I longed to die, but I would not kill myself â€"-I was not coward enough for that. I re- mcmbar leaving Layston Park, and decid- ing that I would walk on until I dropped downâ€"I was quite indifferent where or how -â€"then I must die, and I should not have killed myself; I found myself here in this little fann, and I thou lit I would hide my- Allan." “\\'by, my darling,” he exclaimed, “how could you think that money would outweigh my love for you?" “I cannot tell," she answered drcamily. “Allan, the will was my death-warrant ; it was very cruel, dear." "And very stupid,” added Allan. They had talked for some time after that, until at last Allan understood how it had all happened-she had made herself wretch- ed over the secret of the will, and had re- solved upon finding it out for his sake alone. She told him how good and kind Adelaide had been to her ; she told llllll the whole story of her doubts and fears. In tiino,thOSc fears grew small, and she began to under- stand tli great broud fact that he cared more for her than for the wealth of the whole \vorldâ€"â€"thut he would have given all ho had -â€"wealth, titlc,oven lifo itselfâ€"for her love; and with the certainty of that knowledge came content. ' And then, when Lady Rylcstono was able to be removed from the farm, she had been taken to Walton Court. she was carried past the library door, and turned to her husband. “That is the room where the brightest and best part of mo died,” she whispered; and be, though he tried to cheer her, know it was true. . After that, for long months, Lady Rylc- stono had lain between two worlds. Clover physicians came to her, and after long con- sultations it was decided that if she could, be taken to Nico thcro was just a chance for‘ her life. So, when the spring came round, Lord llylestono took Margarita to Nice. Previous to [caving England he asked Ade- laide to remain at \anton Court.- “Through all these scenes of trouble you have grown to be like a dear sister,” he said, “and I want you just for a little long- cr to take care of my house." So Adelaide remained at Walton, and Lord Rylostono took Margarita to Nice. For some short time there was marked improvement in her health. The bloom re. turned to her face, the light came back to her dark eyes, tho mouth grew once more like a roscbud, and Lord Rylcstono was as hop 3 as a child. “ on will live, Margarita." he said one day. “\Vo shall be happier, darling, than if we had never suffered." He never forgot the sad, swcct smile that came over her face. “Whether I live or die,” she said, “I do not cure now. I have been happy. I have lived and loved, Allan; now let me die.” "You will be happy for many long years" {10 said ; but she shook her head, mournful- Y- . “I am always tired now,” she replied, “and I have been so happy that lam willing to die.” If tcndcrcst and most passionate loveâ€"if most untiring devotion-4f most watchful caro could have saved her, she would have lived; but She had told the truth when she said that she had had her death blow. Day by day the beautiful face grew inoro sha- dowyâ€"day by day the health and strength seemed to fade from licr. The graceful figure grew thinâ€"tho white bands whiter. Ono morning,carried from her room to the balcony in those faithful, tender arms that nevertircd, wliilo slio lay watching tho sun, the birds, and the flowers, 5110 turned sud- denly to her husbandâ€"â€" “Allan,” she naked, "will you send for Adelaide? 1 should like to see her again be- fore I go to the unknown land." “I will iicnd for her, darling," llu replied. llu knew no gri-atcr happiness tlun to grati- fy her every wish. She lay silent for some minutes, suddenly she stole one whito arm round his neck, and drew his faco down to hers. ' "Allan." she said, quietly, “do you know that Adelaide loves you?" Ilia fnco flushed. Ile remembered the scene in the picture-gallery, and he was at a loss what to my. "I found it out," continued Margarita, quito by accident. She had told me that she loved a shadow. and that, for his love‘s sake. she was willing to give up the whole world. I found out that you were the shadow. ‘ “I need hardly tell you, Margarita, that not one word of love has ever passed between Miss Csmcron and mySelf." “No, I am sure of itâ€"shc told inc so; but none the has she loves you." lie know then that she was so near death as to have lost all a woman's jealousy, and his heart sank within him. "I have never given one thought to any woman but yourself," he said, “and you argariu." “Yes, I know it, dear: you have been like Douglas, ‘tcnder and true.‘ You will send for Adelaide!

Sweetest flowers bloomed thereâ€"love seemed to surround it. He was the better man for that visitâ€"it seemed to remove the weight of sorrow. After all she was at peace. And then he went to the Court. He found Miss Cameron in the grounds, and a little child, one of her protegeea, was with her. He reached the Court one evening in May. when the air seemed full of the nine of j lilac and the song of the nichtingales; and CHAPTER L. Lady Rylestono died, one ongnt sunshiny mornin' ,calmly and sweetly as a child falls asleep. They had placed her, as she wish- ed. on her favorite couch by the window, and for some time she lay watching the blue sky. She did not seem to recognize him.

He fancied that she was wandering, she looked on that fair morning so unlike death. She was thin, wan, and white, but her face was exquisite still. “Take me in your arms, dear,’ “and hold me fast.” He clasped his arms round her, and Ade- laide. kneeling, said the prayers that Mar- garita. bud lispcd at her mother’s knee. she said, hand of Adelaide Cameron and the stron , kindlyhand of Lord Rylestouc, she hell! them together. “After I am gone," ‘she said, gentlyâ€" “Allnn,you will not not forgotâ€"I shall wait for you, loveâ€"I shall wait beyond the grave, dean You will beminc, all mine, for you loved me first and best.“ And then, holding both the hands she had clasped, she died as a child falls asleep, and when he knelt by her death-bed Allan Ryle- stone knew how he had loved her. She retained her marvelous beauty in death. As was the custom of the country, those who prepared her for her last long rest; crownu her with flowers and laced flowers in her white, cold hands. \'licu Adelaide wont toatako her farewell, she was half startled to see that in one white hand was placed a scarlet geranium. All the words of tho ballad rushed to her mindâ€" “Bcautiful Evelyn Hope is dead ;" She remembered the reading of it, and Margurita’a words. How little had she dreamed‘theu that the beautiful dark-eyed woman would lie dead so soon, with o. gcr~ nnium in her hand 1 They took her homo to England, and laid her to rest in the pretty church-yurdof Lut- Ladies Rylestono lay; but in a green grave on which the flowers blow, the rains full, the sun shines, the dew lies like toars,und the leaves drop in winter. 0n the day of the funorul,Mr.Bculo came humbly to ask if he might attendâ€" ' “I wronged her, my lord," he said ; “I wish to Heaven she had trusted me. but she did not. Let me make all the amends I can.” So Mr. Beale was one of the chief mourn- ers at the funeral of the woman whom he had so cruelly misjudged. ’ CV81] Tho funeral was over, and once more Lord Rylestono and Adelaide Cameron were alone togetherâ€"no longer strangers, but dear friends. He knew her goodness now and ap- preciated it. She wus standing alone by the grout western window in the library when he entered the room; he went up to her at once. “Adelaide,” he said abruptly, “I shall leave England to moriow, never to re- turn.” lIcr sweet face grow a shade paler. “I am not surprised," she returned gently â€"“not in the least." “I knew that you would not be ; you are so kind, so good. I must go; my heart lies buried in Margarita’s grave. I cannot stay bore." He spoke with a sorrowful, passionate bitterness that grieved her. She tried to comfort him; she laid one hand on his. “It is only natural,” she said quietly, “Change of scene and travel will bothe beat for you." * “I am ashamed of myself," he continued, “but I cannot help it. Adelaide; my love is stronger than I. I cannot forgot her. I see the beautiful face, the dark "eyes, the sweet lips; I hear the voice sweeter than earth’s sweetest music. “'hnt shall I do? My sor- row never sleeps." “Time will heal it," answered Adelaide ; “nothing else can." “Adelaide,” said Lord Rylestone, “you have been like some dour sister to me. I shall never forget your goodness. Be kind to me still. I shall never return now to live at “'nlton. \Vill you remain here and take care of it for me 2" will," she repliedâ€"and the simple words meant more from her than strongest protestations. “1 am ashamed to ask you to take my place â€"-to ask you to fulfill my duties; but ,1 can- not rcmain, for my heart is in Margarita's ave.” "I will take your place," she said,gontly; “but I have faith in yon, Lord Rylcstono. You will not let sorrow master you. You must suffer for a time. but you will rise again braver, nobler, better for tho tight; and until that time comes I will take your place." So they bade each thor farewell.nnd soon afterward ho left England, and Adelaide lived on at \\'slton Court with the dream of her life unfulfilled. ller namo soon became famous. Nearly the whole of her large fortune was spent in works of charity. Sho built churches,alina- houses, and schools; she relieved the sick and the poor; she never turned from a pray- or, she never refused sasistanceto the needy. For miles around her name was followed by blessings and tears and prayers. Iler sweet and noble womanhood seemed to have on complete; as years ,the beautifu face grew more lovely; tune added to its charma. There was. perhaps, a deep- er sheen on the golden head, a deeper light in the eyes and a firmer expression round the lips; but Adelaide Cameron was nearly at the prime of her superb womanhood then. She had lovers in plenty. Some of the proudest in the land had laid title and for- tune at her feet; she healed them not. "My shadow.love."she said to herself, with a mournful smile. "is dearer to me thananyothercanbe,andlshalldie all have livedâ€"true to it." She heard at rare intervals from Lord Rylestone, but she had ceased to hope or to think that he would ever can for her : his heart lay in Mar 'ta‘s grave. There was no more lat-anti! trait in hercharacter than that evidenced by the t can Ibo took of Margarita‘s grave. .‘o one could see it without thinking that loving hands tended it. Rare“ flowers bloomed there, and hardly a week passed without her visiting and theqaivering lips, buried his but to it. Perhaps she was not much surprised to see him ; he was so continually in her thoughts that it was only one of them realized. She dropped the white lilies that she had gath- ered,and advanced with outstretched hands to meet him. - , “You are home at last," she said, leaving her hands in his. His heart seemed to go out to herâ€"she had been so loving, so good. so trueâ€"she was so fair ; and he knew that her youth,her love, had all been given to him. “I want you to make it home for me, Adelaide," he said, gently, “I have some- thing to say to you." . She walked down the broad path, sin: for- getting the little lame child, who looked after them with a sigh. He did not plead to horns a heart. broken man, nor on one whose heart lay buried and whose hope was dead, but like one who had suffered bravely, and had borne his pain. “It is not my first love that I have to of- fer you, Adelaide,"â€"“tlmt, the iinpetuous, fervent boy's worship, was Margarita'sâ€" but I do offer you the whole true; decp,ten- dor love of a man." She did not accept it at once; she wanted him to be sure of himself; but at lugnlmost in despair, he pleaded to her with suchpna- sionnte earnestness that she could not re- fuse. There was no coquotry or uffcctatiou in acceptance of him :hhe merely placed her hand in his and saidâ€"â€" “I am quite willing to be your wifc,Alln.n for I have loved you all my life." They were married in the summer time. and no happier husband and wife live that Lord and Lady Rylestone. She is too noble and too liberal minded to be jealous of the dead, but. there are times when she steals nearer to him and clasps her white arms round his neck, remembering Mnrguritu's last words. The voices of children uowmuko music in the Court. If Lord Ryleatono has ii favorite, it is his eldest daughter, a dark eyed girl, whom he calls Margarita; and his voice takes another tone when he speaks to her, and his eyes have nsofter light. A grave, half sud smile comes to his wife's li a when ho,wciuh- ing past and future, calls is child Margar- ita. Adelaide finds him sometimes standing be. fore the Spanish picture,looking at the rich- ly-colored face and dark, tender eyes ; and then she raises above the level of woman- hood, nnd says sweet words to him of the buried love, andlcads him gently away. They are very happy. Fame and fortune smile upon them; the poor bless them ; fair children bloom around them; Heaven lavish- cs richest gifts upon them. Earth has no more to give them. THE END. â€"â€"-â€"â€"â€"â€"â€"9o<l ->».â€"-â€"â€"â€" Too Hard it Question. The line of renouuing adopted by children in arriving at results is often puzzlingto older heads. Here is an instance in oint: A Sunday-school teacher had luboro carn- estly with her class of little children, en- deavoring to make them understand the meanin of inheritanceâ€"that if they were good hristians they would inherit the Kingdom of Heaven. After being thorough- ly satisfied that the lesson was understood, the teacher asked one of the little girls: “Now what do you inherit when you die 2" Childâ€"“A ooffin !" Shrowd as Ever.

The damsel, com- rcssing her brows into an awe-inspiring frowu, ejaculated : “ You clumsy wretch !" Most men would have looked foolish and apologized, but our hero was equal to the occasion.
