This she threw into the fire. Then she went up the wide shallow stairs and turned in at her bedroom door. “My dear boy,” she said in a tone as \ I Will go up much like her natural voice as supreme effort could make it, “I really don’t think that you ought to be reading the newspaper, particularly lying down in bed. Let me read to you. ” She sat down by the fire with her back to the light Alan Stacey lay back among his pillows id enough. “I don’t care abor reading, so long as you’ll sit there and talk to me,” he said lazily. paper-‘2” “No-o; an account of the ball last night, with our noble names in the l paragraph. All the rest is pretty much . as usual. ” l She glanced down the, day by day, column, gave him a list of all the l items of news that might in any way serve to interest him, and after that they talked for a little while, and then i Alan Stacey said that he might as well i get up as lie idling there, and Mary[ went down stairs again, carrying the I paper in her hand; carrying also her' burden with her; carrying with her the knOwlcdge and the conviction that he would have to'be told; that she must be the one to break the news to him; that there must be no shirking’it, no getting out of it; that it was a task which lay right in front of her, a task which she must accomplishâ€"and the sooner the better. Then she remembered that if she told him Alan would naturally ask to see the paper containing the news. But she had burned it! She feltâ€"so strangely are we moved by trifles in times of great diflicultyâ€"that she could not en- dure to let hiiri know that her first thought had been to hide the truth from Him. Then how was she to ac- count to him for having destroyed that “Is there anything in the ‘ : 355101253“ ‘ LIXDSAY’ O.\'r. .part of the paper? Should she send out and get another copy? She did not like to do that, nor did she like to go her‘ ‘ selfâ€"it would look so strange. , And then the thought came to her: Why tell him at all? Why say anything about it? Why break up and destroy their intense happiness? Nothing could be wider apart than the lives led by Edward Conway and Alan Stacey’s wife. Why admit that she had seen the news that part of the crew of the Ari- khama had been rescued? Just now, when Alan was showing; signs of over- work and about to take a holiday, it Would be cruel to deal him such a blow. A few weeks longer in her sunshine would make no difference to anybody but herself. Alan would never knowâ€"'â€" Edward Conway need never knowâ€"- that she had been aware all along that three men belonging to the Arikhama had been rescued off an uninhabited island in the Pacific ocean. Why should she say anything? Why should she not at least let Alan finish his bookâ€"the greatest book he had ever doneâ€"take his holiday, and, if the blow fell thenâ€"why, he would be the better prepared to meet it. It would be bad enough if Ed- ward Conway discovered her and the secret could not be kept any longer. Having thus made up her mind to keep the news which had reached her to herself, she acted immediately. She destroyed the torn sheet of the paper and thrust the part which remained carelessly into the rack with the other journals, trusting to her own wit to keep Alan from wishing to look at 1t during the day. It was an off day with the young lady who typed to her dicta- tion, so that she was free of any tie of work. She set herself to do some nee dlework in order that she might look oc- cupied when Alan made his appearance, and she sat near the window stitchig industriously, while her mind went ov and over again such shreds of self justification as she could find to salve her conscience She told herself thatort was not as if she had gone into an 1r- regular union with her eyes open. She had truly and honestly believed herself to be Edward Conway’s widow, and her marriage with Alan was her real marriage. What was it they said? “I require and charge you both, as ye will answer at the'dreadful day of Judg- ment, when the sec'rets'of all hearts shall be disclosed, if either of you know of any impediment why ye. may not lay- fully be joined together in matrimony, ye do now confes‘s it.”~ Then came these impressive words: “Those whom God hath joined together let no man. put asunder. ” Surely, surely, God had 301n~ ed them; surely, surely, it had been by the permission of God_that such a blaze cf pure andfiinnocent Joy and glory had ‘ ’ - surely she would be ght to continue suéh a union. and bigoted lover of conventionalism could never wish that ' she should go back to live the life of 8:99.111}! 311d degradation SEA-Ell had been) 1-- doing ri .

Then the sound of the sob in her own voice frightened her. N 0, she could not, must not, dared not, tell him just nowâ€"now, when he had the weight of a great book upon his mind, the anxiety of a large contract before 1 him, when he was in a measure nerve I broken and anxious and depressed. No; she must keep the secret, at least for a time. It would be selfish to do other- wise. She owed it, even if it was a sin, as a small return for all that Alan Stacey had poured out at her feet She owed it to him. In this instance silence was her duty. CHAPTER XIV. FROM THE CORNER WINDOW. . As the train steamed outof Padding- ton station on the following day Mary gave a great sigh of relief, and Alan Stacey,whose spirits had gone up as high as the day before they had been lowâ€"fer he was, like all people of- buoyant dis- position, subject to great alternations of temperamentâ€"moved his seat over to the one beside her and put his arm round her waist “Little woman, ” he said, “it is aw- fully jolly to be going out of London again, isn’t it, even although we are not going for a holiday? By J ove, that was a good idea of yours. What a wise little head you’ve got! I should have gone on fagging my heart out in that used up atmosphere, and you came with your wonderful woman’s wit and solved the question in an instant. You women are wonderful creatures. " She did not say very much. She nes- tled up close against him with curiously mingled feelings. On the one hand she felt that she was leaving her troubles behind her; on the other that she was only putting off the evil day for a little time. She felt that she was safe and yet that she was insecure. She had gained breathing time, a resting place, but that one day she would have to tell Alan hers during 'tno‘se few mofifhé after her first marriageâ€"after that barbarous sale of herself into which she had been driven by circumstances absolutely beyond her control. _ Alan Stacey came down presently, and when Mary noticed how haggard and ill he was looking she thanked heaven that she had kept the news of Edward Conway’s survival to herself. She exerted herself in every possible way to please him, coaxing him to eat when lunchtime came and being seem- ingly in the gayest and brightest of spirits. But nothing served to rouse him from the dull depression which seemed to have taken possession of him. “I believe you ought to have staid in bed,” she said at last as he sat mop- ing and shivering over the fire. “No; I’m better up, ” he answered. “The book is weighing on your mind. dearest. ” “Horribly, ” he replied, “horribly. I feel as if I should never finish it. ” “Oh, don’t say that! You’ve been burning the candle at both ends. You cannot do this work and go to fancy dress balls at the same time. Why not let us slip away and finish it quietly somewhere? Supposing that we pack up and go to some quiet little place where we can work in peace and com- fort, and after that we will go off on our long holiday. ” He caught at the suggestion eagerly “That’s a good idea, Mary,” he re- plied; “that’s a very good idea. You’ll take little Miss Winnington down with “Oh, yes, because there’s a good lot to do yet. Oh, yes, we would have her down there with us. But the change, the fresh air, the sea, the restfulness, would all be very good for you and would help you to finish it with half the elIor't it would be if we staid at home. Shall we go OR at once?” that one day she would have to die. John to send the papers after us?” “No, I did not tell him, ” said Mary. She flushed up a vivid, guilty scarlet, Stacey the truth was as inevitable as “By the bye, did you remember to tell for, truth to say, she had purposely re- ..â€"â€"-â€"â€" Two Papers for 500.

Well, of course we can easily write and tell him to send them,” said Alan. “All the same, I don't know whether newspapers are not rathera bore than otherwise.

I dare say we shall be much better with opt them if we find that the Powys Arms is not so luxurious as to have a London paper. Let us try it at all even‘ts." So they started on their pilgrimage without so much as a daily paper to tell them what was going on in the world. It seemed strange to Mary herself that she was not more eager to know further news of the survivors of the Arillhama, but she was truly happier not to know. From that moment she flung herself into the present with an energy which was intensely pathetic, and Alan Stacey was more hopelessly in love with her than ever. She had arranged with Miss Win- nington to be in. readiness to come if she should send for her. so that they made acquaintance with the little Cor- 4 For rurchasm' P'rk iv each We d .
