"If she had taken her mother‘s adâ€" ‘vice, sit, she would never have come to }this pass. I told her that a rich young man like Mr. Wylde wouldn‘t think of marrying a poor little factory girl, but she didn‘t believe my warning. She wouldn‘t heed me," sighed poor Mrs. Finley, when she had told, in her pitiâ€" ful little way, the story of Pansy‘s willâ€" ‘fulness and disobedience. f But she, poor thing, looked pleadâ€" ingly at her pale, silent husband. "But g*ou see how it was, don‘t you?" she, cried imploringly. "I loved him so, and I fell under _ his fascinations sO thtat I couldn‘t help myself; and I thought mother would be so pleased when she found out I was his wife she \would forgive all the rest. Ah, Heaven! I paid dearly, dearly, for that disobedience!" He sat silent, rigid, looking, and MSâ€" tening without a word, and Pansy sobbed ‘bitterly : "Did I not say you would never forâ€" give me? But I deserve it. I have not one word to say for myself, only this: | You will keep . my miserable secret, for when Norman Wylde chargâ€" ed me with my identity I denied it bitâ€" terly. Oh, he must. never know the truth, and if I recover from my wound 3 will go away from here, Colonel Falâ€" coner, and never trouble your peace ‘again.” He smiled a sad, derisive smile at those words, as if in mockery of her promise, and then said: _ "But L have not yet heard how you came by that wound." â€" / "My brother Willie swore that he would kill me for‘the disgrace that I had brought on the honest name of Laurens.~ When I came back home to see my.sister he tried to carry out his threat. I do not blame him, nor must you, for iny stepfather had goaded him to madnessâ€"by his taunts and slurs. Poor boy! (HMe is sorry now for his inâ€" sane deed, and tlie world must never know." i He sinothered some angry words unâ€" der his dark mustache, for Pansy was beginning to‘ speak again her soft, hopeless little voice: _ "While I lay here waiting for Willie to bring you, I made some clever little plans. Juliette went with the Wyldes, did sheâ€" not?" "Of course." s "Then you will telegraph her toâ€" morrow that I have changed my mind, and will go North to some gay waterâ€" ing place, but that she will remain unâ€" der the chaperonage of Mrs. Wylde. My presence in this house can be kept a dead secret until I get well enough to go awayâ€"into a convent, perhapsâ€" into lasting exile, certainly. Do not grieve, mamma," as a‘ whimper of proâ€" test came from the little woman‘s grieved heart. "You will have your other children, you know." Then,, looking back at her husband, went on plaintively: "In the meantime, you will write back to your friends that poor little Pansy is dead and buried. You willâ€"come home to Juliette then, andâ€"after a whileâ€"you will forget:" The plaintive voice broke, and Colâ€" onel Falconer sat still for a few momâ€" ents, lost in deep thought. Suddenly he spoke: t "You are very clever," he said. "I thought it all out for your sake. I was so anxious that no disgrace should touch you," she answered humâ€" bly. "Poor little one" he muttered; then rose and laid his hand solemnly on her head.. "Dear, you have been bitterly punished for your girlish fault," he said gravely; then, in tones vibrating with tenderness, he added: ®*You are my belovedâ€"wife still. I forgive your deâ€" ception, and I will never forsake you." It. was the second day after her arâ€" rival at the White Sulphur Springs, and they were out on the lawn before the grand fhotel. All was brightness and gayety. Throngs of beautiful womâ€" en and handsome men lent variety to the sylyan scene, and the merry music played by the band made one‘s step light and one‘s heart gay. "Rosalind, what do you think of this?" asked Juliette, coming up to her friend with an open letter in her hand. .““What is it, Juliette?" asked Miss Wylde curiously. S ; "A letter from my uncle, in which he explains the cause of his wife not joining us here." £ § s "Is she not coming, then?" ask,gd Mrs. Wylde, in a tone of regret. 6‘N0'¥’ "But why not?" "She was taken suddenly ill that afâ€" ternoon, but would not send us word, let we should wait for her and be disâ€" appointed in going. She is \better now, and has taken up an idea that sea air would be of more benefit to her than the springs," replied Juliette, reading from her uncle‘s letter. "Oh, I am sorry she will not join us. I had fallen in love with her," exâ€" claimed Mrs. Wylde, and her daughter echoed: "I had, too, mamma." A frown crossed Juliette‘s pearlâ€"fair face, and she read on slowly: T he Great Reward "So I will take her away to the sea, and you can‘ remain with Mrs. Wylde if she will have the kindness to chapâ€" eron you.‘ She looked‘at Mrs. Wylde, and that lady said cordially: "Your uncle ought to know that I will take great pleasure in doing that." "Thank yoy,” cried Juliette; then, erushing the letter in her hand, she said spitefully: <"I believe Pansy had all that planned before, and did not mean from the first to accompany us here." tw Mrs. Wylde and Rosalind looked[simple, quiet way, waitir?g startled. § to come back to Pansy‘s "Why should she deceive us?"_cried the colonel might leave â€" Rosalind. ough to return‘ to Virgin "Oh, she had some hidden design in \up his business, preparat« it, of course.

"Nor I, for she always seemed. so frank and open," said her mothers "Inâ€" deed, I had taken a great fancy to her." Every word. stung Juliette more deeply, for she hated Pansy with an intense hatred. She would have hated her for marrying her uncle if for nothâ€" nz else, jul aqaed : this a way : het fanned the fire of rageâ€"into fury. ) She made an excuse for leaving the Wyldes, that she might give full vent, in the privacy of her own room, to the spite that possessed her, and then Rosaâ€" lind observed: 1 “Mam};xé:"l do not think Juliette quite does justice to Mrs. Falconer. sie hates her beciouse she mart ied lolâ€" pectations of getting all ‘her uncle‘s "Mrs. Falconer is without doubt a charming woman, and Juliette‘s suspicâ€" ons of her deceitfulness have their origin in nothing but envy and jealâ€" ousy." While Juliette, alone in her own room, was saying bitterly: "Oh, yes, they have fallen in love with her, have they?, That is because she is the rich Mrs.; Falconer. . They have no admiration to spare for Norâ€" man‘s sweetheart, the poor little toâ€"= baccoâ€"factory girl, who was quite as beautiful, innocent, and charming as my uncle‘s proud wife." When Colonel Falconer, out of ‘the generosity of his great heart, forgave his unhappy wife the deception she had practiced upon him, he made up his mind that he would take her away from the fatal city of her birth, never to return. & \ They would go abroad, and begin a new life, in which they would be all in all to each other; and he would try to forget.the dark shadow, that lay on his wife‘s past, and make her happy as she had seemed before they came back ¢ RHirhmond in( ihe trage ly(f hor with its ignominy. He made arrangements for keeping Pansy‘s.presence in her mother‘s house a secret from the world. «Phebe was told only such facts as were strictly necessary, and then installed as the faithful nurse of her mistress. Colonel Falconer himself came in disâ€" guise to visit her; and Doctor Hewitt who was the only one outside the house who was in the secret of Pansy‘s conâ€" tinued existence, never dreamed that the invalid was the wife of one of the grandest, noblest men in the city, and mistress of a palatial home on Frankâ€" lin Street. He pitied her very much, and advised her one day to remain with her mother and begin a new life. Pansy wept bitterly, but made no reply, and he mwent away feeling very sad over her probable future, for both she and Alice were so much better now that there was no occasion for his furâ€" ther visits. He wuld see the beautiful erring, girl no more, and he feared that,>. with the return of health and strength, she would drift back to het old sinful life. A A In the first place, he had to bribe that wretch, Finley, to silence on the fact that Pansy Laurens was still livâ€" ing. He accepted glady enough a much smaller sum than he had demandâ€" ed from Pansy, fearing that if he deâ€" gxlgr]ed h]e tr)ni]ght Pot g_eji a,n.51t11‘ing. $ \ Colonel Falconer, with his keen inâ€" sight into human â€" nature, soon Sav that Pansy‘s mother was unhappy and illâ€"treatedâ€"a mere slave to her sullen brutal husbdnd., He proposed t« Pansy to settle asum of money on her mother that should be strictly her ow n, and theincome from which would enâ€" able hre to lead a life of ease, indeâ€" pendent of her miserly husband. "How shall I ever repay all your goodness?" â€" Pansy cried, when he told her that he had ‘settled twentyâ€"five thousand dollars on herâ€"mother, and that Alice and Nora were to be sent to Staunton to boarding school. His kind intentins toward Willie were all frustrated, for the young man, ashamâ€" ed and remorseful over what he had done, and standing in great awe of his aristocratic brotherâ€"inâ€"law, had abruptâ€" ly«left home the same night on which he had wounded Pansy, and as yet no tidings had been received from him, The time came when Pansy was to leave home and mother for the second time, and it was, indeed, a sad parting; yet not"as bitter as the first, for then FPansy was going alone into exile, but now there was a strong arm and a brave heart between her and the world. "Only love me, my, poor little darlâ€" ing," he had answered, gently and! gravely, in reply to her expressions of gratitude, and she had promised that she would, while, at the same time, she contrasted his noble soul with that of Norman Wylde. |_ _ They had taken a little cottage in the mountains, and, with Phebe and a few servants, were keeping <house in a simple, quiet way, waiting for the roses to come back to Pansy‘s cheeks, that the colonel might leave her long enâ€" lough to return‘ to Virginia and settle "One so noble and highâ€"minded, the other so false and cruel! Oh, Heaven help me to tear his image from my weak and womanly heart, and enshrine there this good and noble husband!" she prayed passionately. Two months had passed since Colonâ€" el Falconer had taken Pansy away from Richmond. They were summering quietly at a little mountain retreat in the Adirondacks, but his mail was sent to Cape May, and, by an arrangement with the postmaster there, was forâ€" warded to him. & He had done this to conceal the place .of his residence from Juliette and others, not wishing that any pryâ€" ing eyes should intrude upon their seâ€" clusion ,for Pansy was still weak and delicate, and her nerves had been sadâ€" ly shattered by the trying scenes she had gone through. ; CHAPTER XXXV.
