Not violâ€" ently, not severely, but still with sufâ€" ficient force to make her stagger backâ€" ward and catch hold of a chair to keep her from falling. . He is Fone; and she, stunned, quiverâ€" ing, half blind with nervous horror, stands by the chair and tries to realâ€" ize all tLt has passed.

He laughs ironically. "I tell you candidly," be says, with reckless emphasis. "I should have been false to one or other of you, and it cerâ€" tainly would not have been to you." . "You malign iuurself." she says, lookâ€" ing at him with steadfast love. ‘"Do If? What a fool you are!" he says roughly. ‘"Well, by your own folly you have separated us irretrievâ€" ably. Blame yourself for this, not me. My affairs are so hopelessly entangled that I must guit the country without delay. Your own mad act has rolled an ocean between us." « He turns and goes toward the door. Wild with grief and despair, she follows him, and lays a detaining hand upon his arm. ‘"Was it? It is but a little part of what you will have to endure for the future," he says, brutally. ‘"You have wilfully ruined me and must take the consequences. My marriage with Clarâ€" issa Peyton svould bave set me straight with the world once more,and need not have altered our relations with each other one iota." "Horace, do not look at me like that," she entreats, painfully. "Remember all that has passed. If for one moment I went mad and forgot all, am I so much to be blamed? You had been mineâ€"alâ€" together mineâ€"for so long that I had not strength in one short moment to relinquish you. When she would have kissed you, it seemed to me more than I could endure."

But how could 1 bear that?

"So you betrayed me?" he says, pushâ€" ing her away from him. "Now, no lies! I saw Clarissa Peyton toâ€"day, and I know everything." |â€" .. s "So scon returned?" she says, joyâ€" fully; and then something she sees in his face freezes within her all further expressions of pleasure; his eyes are dark, his whole face is livid with rage. Wild and disturbed in appearance, he breaks in upon Ruth as she sits readâ€" ing alone in the very room where she had last seen Clarissa. As he enters, she utters a glad littie cry of welâ€" come, and, springing to her feet, goes over to him. Horace, rousing himself after his enâ€" counter with Clarissa, puts his hand impulsively to his face, tf\e sting of the blow still remaining. His illness has left him somewhat prostrate and weak; so that he feels more intensely than he otherwise would the pain that has arisâ€" en from the sudden stroke. A bitter execration rises to his lips; and, then, feeling that all hope of reconciliation with Clarissa is at an end, he returns to Langham Station, and, with . a mind fuil of evil thoughts and bitter revenge, goes back to town. 3 "I can‘t go on to Sartoris toâ€"day," says Clarissa, in a troubled tone, checkâ€" ing her horse in the middle of the avâ€" enue. ‘*No; come home instead," says Scrope; and tum‘mf, they go slowly, and alâ€" most silently, back to Gowran. J ‘"Hateful? Why? I only wish you had laid his cheek open,‘ © says Sir James, venomously. "But of course this poor little hand could not manage so much." Stooping involuntarily, he presses his lips to the hand that rests upon her knee. _ _ _ _ _ K3 ‘‘That wasn‘t the hand at all," saya Miss Peyton, feeling inexpressibly conâ€" soled by his tone and manner. _ _ _‘"Wasn‘t it? Then I shall kiss the right one now," says Sir James, and caresses the other hand right warmly. CHAPTER XXXV. (Continued.) Passionate indignation conquers her selfâ€"control. ;Raising her arm, she brings down her ridingâ€"whip, with swift and unexpected violence, upon his cheek. The blow is so severe, that, for the moment, he loses his presence of mind, and, swaying backward, lets the bridle go. Clarissa, finding herself free, in another moment is out of his reach and on her way to Sartoris. ‘"Wrong!"* says Scrope. "Hanging would hegtoo good for him. Oh, to think you should have been alone on such an occasion as that!" _ A "I have, the ghost of an old love, but, oh, how disfigured!

She places her hands upon his shoulder, and, Lhrowinf back her head, gazes long and earnestly into his face, as thouigh reading once again each line in the features she loves with such devotion. ‘"Before you go," she says, solemnly, "call me what I shall be so soon.

Only let me see your face sometimes, and hear i\;'our voice. I will not trouble you, or hinder you in any way; only let me be near you." She pressed her pale lips to his hand with desperate entreaty. 2 "Remember my temper," he says warningly. "Only last night Istruck you. Think of that.

Have pity! My father is dead; my friends, too, are dead to me. In all this wide miserable world I have only you!l" _ "You will leave me?" cries she, sharpâ€" ly. A dagger seems to have reached and pierced her heart. â€" Falling upon her knees before him, she clasps him, and whispers, in a voice that has grown feeble through the intensity of her emotion, ‘"Horace, do not forsake me. Think of all the past, and do not let the end be separation. What can I dof Where can I gofâ€"with no home, ‘"There is no use fretting over what cannot be recalled," he says, quickly, though still in his gentler tons. _ "And there are other things I must speak to you about toâ€"night. My remaining time in this country is short, and 1 want you to understand the arrangements I have made for your comfort before leayâ€" ing you." _ A terrible silence falls upon the room. Presently, alarmed at her unnatural calm, he lays his hand upon her shoulâ€" der to rouse her. "Yes,he is dead,"says Horace,though more gently. "He died a week ago." ‘‘Not dead!" she says, imploringly, as though her contrition could bring him back to life. ‘"Not altogether gone beâ€" yond recall.

No, Dorian. alone, I went to see." He shades his face with his hand, and then goes on: "There are few like him in the world. In spite of all that has come and gone, he received me kindâ€" ly, and has given me what will enable me to commence life afresh in a forâ€" ::Fn' land." There is remorse and deep miration in his tone. But Ruth makes no reply; she cannot. Those last words, "a foreign land," have struck like a dying knell upon her heart. She watches iim in despairing silence, as he walks restlessly up and i{ow;n the room in the uncertain _ twiâ€" ight. Presently he stops close to her. "I suppose there is some orthodox way of breaking bad news," he says ‘"but I never learned it. Ruth, â€" your father is dead." The girl shrinks back, and puts her hand to her forehead in a dazed, pitiâ€" ful fashion. a deep breath, she places her hand, with a spasmodic movement, to her left side, ‘"He did not mean it," she whisperB to herself, with white set lips. "It was not a blow; it was onlg that he wishâ€" ed to put me to one side, and I was in his way, no doubt; I angered him b{ my Eersistenc,v. Darling! How could think he would hurt me?" Languid, heartâ€"broken, she creeps to her bed, and, flinging herself upon it, undressed as she is, sleeps heavily until the morn, "diffusing round a tremblâ€" ing flood of light," wakes her to grief once more, "Have mind that eild aye follows youth; Death follows life witg gaping mouth; Senerdly joy abidis never, Work for the joy that lastis ever; For other joy is all but vain, And erdly joy returns in pain.‘" W.

There is a happy smile upon her lips, her eyes are quite closed, almost she seems as one that sleepeth. The awâ€" ful majesty of death is upon her, and no voice of earth, however anguished and imploring, can reach her iceâ€"bound heart. As the first faint touch of light that cam» to usher in her wedding morn broke upon the earth, she had died, and gone somewhere *"Above the smoke and stir of this dim spot Which men call earth." But there is none. She is gone, past recall, past hearing all expressions of remorseful tenderness. In the terrible lonely dawn she had passed away, with no one near to hold her d{ing hand, without a sigh or moan, leaving no farewell word of love or forgiveness to the man who is now straining her lifeâ€" less body to his heart, as though to make one last final effort to bring her back to earth.

How can she have fallen asleep in such an uncomâ€" fortable position? _ "Ruth," he calls again, rather louder, some vague fear sending the blood back to his heart; but again only silence greets his voice. And again he says, "Ruth!" this time with passionate terror in bis tone; but alas! there is still no response. For the th’t; fir.'st_ time she is deaf to his entreaty. Catching her in his arms, he raises her from her kneeling posture, and, carâ€" rying her to the window, stares wildâ€" ly into her calm face,â€"the poor, sad, pretty face of her who had endured so much, and borne so long, and loved so faithfully. _ _ 9 y n Horace, ascending the stairs cautiousâ€" ly, before the household is astir, opens the room where last he had seen Ruth, and comes gently in.
