Somehow, after the first fierce throb at his heart. the idea of seeking Aurelia. in her husband's home to deliver her sister's message did not seem quite so bitter a task to accomplish. the message that Mrs. Clavering Would see him very shortly. It. seemed an age to Gerald. sitting in that sumptuous room waiting for her. and how many thoughts rushed across his mind, as his eyes wander- ed impatiently about the apartment.

He had not told Margaret yet of his great. change of fortune. He was so pleased to see how much she thought of him still, be- ;ieving him to be poor. There was ~:reax. comfort in this thonght tor Prémisixig to do his best to bring her back with him, if it were pos- aible. Gerald took his leave. In answer to his summons a. ser- vant admitted him; he was shown into the drawingâ€"room, and the man who took up his card returned with “You will go- to her at once.

He had told himself that he would learn to forget. her. to meet her, now that, she was anothcr's, with a calm face. even though his heart tortured him. i ‘She has followed me to New York to find me andâ€"and share my misfortunes, Gerald," she declared, vehemently; "but, Iâ€"I did not want her to toil too: she was intended for a. lady.

He could not find it in his heart to reveal the truth to the lawyer on account of the horrible expose that would follow, ending in the bitter disgrace of the woman he had once loved better than his life. No, no. he could never do that. He told himself that he must have time to think his way clearly out of the entangling labyrinth in which he found himself. He recol- lected himself with an effort. The lawyer was saying: “Shall I tell Miss Lancaster you will call?" Gerald laid his hand earnestly the other' 8 arm. Thereupon he proceeded to give Gerald a complete and minute reâ€" sume of the visit of Dr. Thorpe to his office; the will he had drawn up for him in favor of Margaret Lancaster, and of the doctor’s sud- den death subsequently; and how he had journeyed to Romaine farm him- self to see the young girl and ac- quaint her with the strange 'trick fate had played upon her; and how startled he had been by her dark glorious beauty when he had first looked into her face. He could understand then the old doctor' 3 mad infatuation for Mriqaret Lancaster. He had told her of the great amount pf money bequeathed to Mar- garet Lane” «r, and she has shown him conclu: e proofs that she was the Margaret he sought. She hcd told him, too, the full and complete history of her life, and had men- tioned that she once had a. sister named Aurelia, but that she was now dead. ’ Like one turned to stone, Gerald Romaine listened. As the lawyer proceeded, sentence after sentence, with his story, he understood the whole aflair. It was as plain as day before him. Soon after Mar- garet had departed the lawyer had come and explained his errand. and with her great, intense craving for wealth, Aurelia had not been able to withstand the temptation of pass- ing herself 03 as Margaret and claiming her inheritance. “We are evidently talking at cross- purposes, like the two knights on either side of the gold and silver shield. The best Way to get at the root of this affair. is to tell you how I made the acquaintance of the lady who is stopping at my house,” returned Lawyer .IIarding. "There is evidentEy an error some- where," he said. “Aurelia. was not. dead up to a. few weeks ago. I have this from her sister Margaret's lips." Gerald looked at him in blank amazement. “No, Aurelia Lancaster is dead," returned Lawyer Harding. “ The young lady who is stopping with us is Margaret Lancaster, her sister. As the young girls lived in your family, surely. you. of all other men. ought, to be conversant with the fact.tlmt Aurelia. has been dead for years." "I have but. a. moment to 8135'.” said Gerald, accepting the proncred cent the lawyer olaced for him.- “-1 cauea to see xx 1 have been rightly informed in regard to a young lady who is visiting at your house, I believe; will you kindly inform me if it is Miss Aurelia Lancaster?" The lawyer was delighted to meet him. Only that dew he had been thinking of Gerald Romaine. and had been pondering over the advisability of inviting the young millionaire to call upon him. with a View to intro- ducing Romaine to his pretty daugh- ter. He Was therefore more than pleased to see the object of his thoughts step into his office. Wlieh Gerald took his lâ€"eave. he took a cab at, the corner of the street. and drove directly to Lawyer Harding’s oflice. . 5 .8513: ,1- ’..1.. 7 "She is at pgegem... szmng dings, on Lexington avenue, lieve.” ”Indeed.” said Gerald. surprisedly. “Why, I know Mr. Harding well."_ a While Margaret had been sitting in the'park suflering the pangs of hungerâ€"1w. oi hungerâ€"Aurelia had been rolling in the wealth so treach- erously acguired. ‘How was he to tell Margaret'that?
