He unlocked the door softly and | stole out into the great hall, from which' the wide, shallow staircase | wound upwards, He found Charlotte Dane in her favorite room--one that looked in to a winter garden, lovely with blooms, tall lilies, and narcissi that | sent forth an intoxicating perfume.

"But, Charlotte, you must hear what I have to say, since it affects you intimately. In the ruin which drove Edward away your father was involved." She flushed a deep red and bent her head a little.

She had abandoned her generous) desire to see the disinherited heir reinstated in the home of his fore-| fathers: Paul had displayed his} promised proofs, and against her }wil-Charlette had beei™fonvinced} of the absent man's villainy. But now. she was thinking . of neither him nor of Paul. Her eyes were shining with a strange glow, her lips were parted in a tender smile, and she went along her way | with alert steps, coming to a pause | when she reached a grove where a few leaves still lingered upon | boughs that were almost bare. The muscular, well-knit figure of | a man was slowly pacing there, his mind apparently lost in. thought. But he turned sharply with a glad ery upon seeing the girl, a smile coming into his. grave, bronzed features--a smile of inténse devo- pres that was reflected ib her own | face. "Oh, my dearest gir He took her hands, and spoke to her in a ilow voice. "I began to fear that I should never see you again. Do you iknow what I thought--what I im- jagined? That you had become jproud now that you are rich, and to forget the man who | | | | 199 i loves you."' 'How could you think that?' she murmured. '"'Don't you know that nothing could make any difference ito my love, certainly no consideration ?" He took her in his arms and re-j} verently kissed her. / "Tt would have been but natural, | | after all, my dearest,'? he said, i 'for I am poor--a man of whom } you know nothing, except that he | is of no importance in the world-- and you are a rich woman.' "Rieh only-in your love," murmured, happily. Yet what Bertram Wood had re- marked was indeed true. All she! {knew of him--his past, his life, his | present--was his name.

From that first fateful moment the flame of love had kindled be- tween them, and the man and the woman realized that each seemed destined for the other. Some secret in his life Charlotte knew there was, something that shadowed his days, though he was silent as to its nature; yet despite this, and even though he urged her to keep their very acquaintance se- cret from the world, she gave him full and complete trust. He had even urged upon her that they should be secretly married by special licence in some neighboring' ehurch, without asking anyone's | the drawing-room and closing | ward Walton. ; hame. | doubt me, with | here; ' Mightn't he be able to / with specious denials and explan- ations ! | shown ; you. can dupe as well as {go in my company. e Charlotte was alone, her father's old friend, Walton, whose death had ig been expected, though the disposition of his property had been s much of a surprise to Charlotte as it had proved to Paul Walton. And now he spoke of it again, and listening to her lover's words, her heart. overflowing with devo- tion, had given consent before her lips echoed it.

She was sorry, since she cared for him in» certain sisterly fashion. | He was always at hand, ready to advise, to assist; and she him whenever he was absent. He lost his temper for a moment or two and demanded her reason for refusing him, and the girl felt) it was but his due that he should know she cared for another man. He beard her faltering words with frowning brows, then recovered himself, apologizing with quite a contrite expression, and Charlotte, who hated to see anyone unhappy, freely forgave him. One day when she returned home with a glow of a wonderful happt- | was} ness shining in her eyes--for not to-morrow to witness her wed- ding, her secret wedding '--Paul Walton was waiting for her. His face was pale, but there was an air of ill-suppressed excitement about him, a twitching of tne features, a/| restlessness of attitude, all gone. "Charlotte !' name huskily, repose He following uttered her her door. "I have something to tell you. I have discovered who sucéessful rival is--this man you care for, this man who has wooed you secretly and in disguise.' He spoke slowly, striving for an ap pearance of calmness.

"Tt is impossible!" She gasped | out the words at last, gazing at him with eyes whose light was suddenly shadowed by a mist of pain, veiled by tears. | "Charlotte, this is the truth." He spoke the words with emphasis. "But why---why alien in name and identity, here in the place of his birth?' His motive?' 'The otner shrug- ged his shoulders.

Ah, Charlotte, had pleading been something more than } vain pleading, my love would have spared you this. .And is it too late now?' he went on, seeing that she did not silence him. "Proeve to this disappointed fortune-hunter that he, Go to London as you have decided, but Let him draw ifrom that circumstance what infer- lence he chooses." A chilly smile touched her cold | \face. She looked in that moment a woman with a dead heart. "You suggest a remedy -- that would take out the sting from wounded pride,' she said, giving him her hand. "And'you are my friend " "Your true, your loyal friend-- who would be more, if he dared hope."' ® % ¥ * * 'od Charlotte sat gazing into the fire, watching the dancing flames with sad eyes.

His devotion had won its reward; his quiet persistence had wrung consent from her at last. He had saved her from a villain, who, with clearer eyes than others, must have foreseen. before | Mr. ~ Walton's death that the old man had named Charlotte as hig heiress, and had hoped by. winning her love to re- gain what he had forfeited. And yet--oh, if she had never met him, never known the pain a tender-hearted woman must feel when she has wasted her love upon a rogue! She glanced up a little as heard the door-handle turn;. then looked down again with a smother- ed sigh. She knew who it would be Paul, paying his customary visit. she But a voice speaking her name made her start up to her { and trembling, to stand face with Edward Walton.

"Something in my disfavor, 1 'have no doubt," returned raul; | with a sudden assumption of bold ness. "But Miss Dane will scarce ly give ear to calumnies, She knows the truth with regard to your own iniquities." There was a dangerous flash in Edward Walton's dark eyes. But The retained self-control. "On the contrary, Miss Dane will hear the truth now for the first time,' he responded, " and learn that you have reversed the position of affairs, as you did long ago, to my hurt then as now. "Tt was you who, assuming my Christian name as well as the name we share in common, bribed rascals of the race-course to do your vile work, weaving a mesh of villainy in which I was caught."' Paul Walton interrupted with a | sneering laugh, and threw a glance | 'at Charlotte. But her eyes were turned away from his, were bent with a shining light in them upon 'his cousin. And it was to her that | Edward now turned. ""Charlotte," he said gently, '"'my cousin made me his scapegoat, hardened my father's heart against ; Es) =" ders with a devilish cunning.

As it has been officially decided that the Prince of Wales is to go "up? to Oxford for a couple of years, it will. doubtiess be interest- ing to know what the young Prince will have to go through during his college career. In the first place, | before being admitted he will have t® pass an examination known as "Smalls." In this he wil have no difficulty, because it is really no harder than the examination he passed a' few years ago before en- tering Osborne. -- The only differ- ence is that in "Smalls" the stud- ent has to "'take" Greek whether he likes it or not. This is immediately followed by another examination known as "matrieulation," which is set by the college--not by the University ~--and is in most cases easier to pass than. the "'Smalls." His preliminafy examinations | passed, it is probable that his Roy- | al Highness will enter into the so- cial life of Ofordx with that whole- |heartedness that was so marked a characteristi¢ of his grandfather, REGULATIONS EXACTING, | The young prinee will doubtless find some of the regulations a trifle | exacting. For instance, he -- will 'have to be fully dressed and ready |to "'keep" chapel at eight o'clock-- \if not every morning, at least four | days a week. | Obapel lasts about twenty min- jutes. From eight-forty-five till ten |he will breakfast. This may seem irather a long time for breakfast, 'but it must not be forgotten that |\'Varsity breakfast is as important a meal as dinner, and generally |comprises four or five courses, as 'lunch for the most part consists of i bread and cheese only. For this jreason breakfast is frequently | known as "bruneh."' From ten til! one, perhaps with an hour's interval, he will attend lectures, for which he will have to don "academical dress," which con- sists of a gown that is a little snort- jer than the ordinary lounge-coat, and a "mortar-board," The afternoon he will have to himself, and, if he decides to deyote |himself seriously to athletics, will |be invited by the various secretar- jies of the different athletic clubs to "turn up.' MAY TAKE UP ROWING. | Tf, as is not improbable, he wish- ' ake, 2owing,-he-will be-edu- | ly "tubbed." | - "fTubbing" consists of sitting in |a short, heavy boat which holds two | beginners and one "coach." The beginners do their best to row un- |der the supervision of their coach, | who keeps up a running fire of com- ment-on their efforts. It well known that the language of coach- les is not of the choicest. | For dinner the Prince will again (don his gown. Dinner is served in |hall, the undergraduates sitting at long tables that are divided ac- cording to the number of years that i students have "kept." Thus all those in tneir first year, called "Freshers," sit at one long table, those in the second year at another, and so on. The dons or professors of the college, sit on a dais. THE TOM TOWER. At nine o'clock "Tom Tower'"' i that is to say, the tower of Christ Church--which can be heard all ov- er Oxford, tolls for about ten min- | utes, at the end of which his Royal | Highness will be required to be in his own college. The college gates iare closed at this time, and he will | have to pay a fine of five cents if |he "knocks in'? between closing- | time and eleven o'clock. Between eleven and twelve the 'fine is a quarter. To be later than |twelve is a very serious offence. |The smallest fine for this is five dol- i lars. | After dusk the Prince will have lto wear his cap and gown, and if lhe fails to do this he will run the lrisk of being "progged," which is | Oxonian for falling into the elutch- (es of the Protector. The Protector lis a don and takes the place of a | University policeman. After dusk ihe patrols the city, accompanied by 'some half-dozen "bulldogs"---that.
