I saw her look at the brilliant., beautiful tints of the morning sky, at the frosh tender beauty of th» green trees. and then her eyes wandered round the room. ‘The glasses, the arish light of the lamp, the conâ€" ’usion and disorder, how they contrastâ€" ed with the bright, pure heavens and the clear light of day! I knew that the contrast had touched her; I felt that the peaceful influence of ©the morning had reached her. The wind, which was like th» breath of the roses, seemed to change her face as it swept over it. She put her arms round me. "I am so tired," she said. I took her in my arms and laid ber head upon my brsastâ€"a lost, unhappy woman, 1 knew, hut still Mark‘s wife. The warm tears were falling then from her eyes. "How kind you are to me !" she said.

That made her se diificult to manage. She wou‘ld sit up al! night and sleep in the day. A sudden gleam of gold shooting into the room showed me that the sun was Ilsing. I drew aside the hangings and opened the window, letting in the saweetness and freshness of the mornâ€" inz aipr. "Dear Lady Severne, do come here for one moment," T said. It was about four in the murning- & lorely June morning, bright with sun«hine, and with dew, fragrant with !.‘ba odor of lily and rose. Puring her I found Lady Severne inclined to be qulet and talk rationally. There was something of sullen deflance about her at first, but it died away when I had been some little time with her. I tried to interest her and to make her forâ€" get the horrible craving for stimu‘ant that was destroying ber. She became more like herse‘lf. "You wil}l hbave a terrible night, Miss Chester," said the grim woman. "I shall not mind that, Martha, if you have a good one," 1 answered. I took ber back to her room, and the prayer that ross to my lips every moâ€" ment was "Heaven belp Mark!® _ If this was his life if those were the scenes to which he was accustomed, this creatura, hardly buman now, the companion of bis l:fe, then indeed had be need of Heaven‘s help and pity. I contrived to get her back safely to her room, and to wake Martha who was bhorriiied at ber carelessness, but as she told me with tears in her eyes She was worn out. Never can I forâ€" get the night that followed. I could not describe it. To me it had the horâ€" ror of an Inferne. 1 cannot tell what would have happened if Marthi bhad Got consented, at last, to give ber some brandy . } The next night Martha was so worn t that 1 persuaded ber to go to bed.. g":nhina else could restore bher, and I promised not to leaye her unbappy misâ€" tress for a moment. 1 looked at her steadily and calmly. Gradually the wild eyes fell before mine. I knew that if I could assert and maintain my authority over her then, I should keep itâ€"and I did so. I was quite uncertain bow my exâ€" periment would succeed. I was preâ€" pared to see her spring at my throat as she had at Martha‘s a few days Ance, to see her beat the doors with horrivle cries, as she bhad on the preâ€" vious day, when Martbha was compellâ€" ed to wend for Lord Severne. "Neitber," I said. "I am stronger than you. If you attempt to scream or to make a nolse, Ishall prevent it, even if I hurt you. You will go back to your own room and remain there in quiet." is . ‘"Where is Martha?‘ 1 asked, wonâ€" dering how she had escaped. and thankâ€" fu! beyond words that she was here with me in the "Queen‘s wing," rathâ€" er than in the western tower with the visitora.

No one menâ€" tioned her name or spoke of her after "Lady Severne has fallen over her train." she said, quietly. "1 wish those long sweeping trains were out of fashion; they are very dangerous." _ E C o en ae s | Lady Severne had deceived ber. I only know the results. Martha dressed her ladyship for dinner, and Lady Severne asked for a favorite dress of hers, a handsome white and gold brocaded satâ€" in.â€" Martha was delighted that she lahould take so great an interest in her | appearance ; that was always a good sign. She evidently did not perceive anything wrong in Lady Severne, or possibly the mischief was done after she left her. We were all in the drawâ€" ing room waiting for the dinncr bell. Lord Severne was ta‘king to Captain Forrester, more at ease and less anxâ€" ious than 1 bad seen him for many days, and Lady Yorke looked as though a great load had been taken from ber mind. Some one had just inquired if we should have the pieasure of seeing Lady Severne at dinner,. and Lady Yorke had answered with a bright smile, that she was much better and would certainly join thein. when thei door opened and we saw her standing. on the threshold, saw the gleam of white and gold, saw the light in the diamonds, the graceful figure, the white jeweled hands. A‘as, alas, how shall t tell it? Inone moment L saw what was the matterâ€"so did Mark and Lady Yorke, and we all three hastened toward her. THer face was ghastly, her eyes were wild, and a leering smile bovered on her lips. Half conscious herself that she was not able to move, yet with a mad defiance of her own feelings, she tried to walk with a digâ€" nified step into the room and before one of us could reach ber. could put out a hand to save her, sh> had fallen upon ber face, to the dismay and disâ€" tress of every one present. In less than a minute. Lord Severne had raised his wife in his arms and borne her away. % Lady Yorke I have never a face white guests. My hope was vain. A few days aftâ€" erwards Lady Severne was, to use the nurse‘s pbhrase, worse than ever. The blow that Lady Yorke had feared fell; the terrible expose which she bad dreaded came. For a day or two Lady Severne bad been better. She came down to dinner, and was careful what she drank. There was relief on Mark‘s face and on Lady Yorke‘s. On the third day an awfu! occurrence hapâ€" pened. Whether Martha was tired, off her guard, or in ignorance of what was going on. I know not. Perhaps hignngreiih â€"lcis â€" S â€" 7.
