'You asked me it Gaston Dan- ireo was my lover, an 1 1 said yes. I should hare told you the truth he was more than my lover. He was my â€" husband.' The last word seemed to suffocate her. She crouched farther down as though shrinking almost from a blow. She had expected a ereat startâ€" an exclamation of amaze and horror â€" either as hard to bear as a blow. 'Your husband I This a surprise. And for seven years you have been this scoundiel's wife ' 'For seven long, miserable years. Oh, brother, forgive me.

Don't fear. Rose. I can only regret that you did not tell me long ago. Tell me now at leastâ€" all.' 'I wasn't quite eighteen, and just home from my convent school when I met him tiist, with all a girl's foolish dreams of beaut) and love, and ro- mauce. He was very handsome â€"with that dash, and ease, andgiace of a man of the world. And if he had been a very Vulcan of ugliness, his divine voice might have wci. my dreaming, sentimental girl's iicart. The aroma of ccuquest hung abont him â€" married ladies petted and spoil- ed him â€" young l.'\dies raved of his beaux yeaux and his Mario voice, and I â€" I fell in love with him in a reck- less, desperite sort of a way, as lifter I suppose poor Kathenne Dangerfield did in this very house. I was M. De Lansac's reputed heiress then, and just the sort of a prize he was liok- ing out for. Very young, very silly, • not bad looking, and the heiress of one or two million dollars â€" a prize even worthy his stooping to win. My grandfather detested him â€" forbade him the houseâ€" forbade me to see or speak to him. Then began my wrong- doingâ€" I did see him I did speak to him â€" I loved him â€" von wouldn't nn- understand if If I told you how dearly, and â€" and â€" Redmondâ€" I consented to a private marriage. He was afraid to Icse M. De Lansac's heiress, and I was afraid to lose him. He threaten- ed to' leave New Orleans and never re- turn if I refused. I married him. and for a little time was happy in a fool's paradise. Only for a little while in- deed. My grandfather, in the most unexpected and sudden manner, as you know, got married. Gaston was furious â€" no need to te'l you how he stormed and raved, or the names He called M. De Lansac. I received my first lesson in bis real character then. That year he remained in New Or- leans â€" then little Louis was bom. and all his hopes were at an end. He might bid good-bye to M. De Lansac's great fortune. He came to me one night â€" we mot in secret on the grounds â€" like a man beside faimse'i with rage and disappointment. He accused ne of being the cause of it all it was bad enough to be a beg- gar himself, without being delnded mto marrying a beggar. He bade me savagely keep our marriage a dead se- cret. He went to England, wrote me â€" I replied, got no answer, at length I wrote for my letters and picture I received them by the very next mail, bnt net a single word fiom himbc- aidea. I was in after that, tired of New Orleans, weary of life. I longed only to see Ireland, to see yon. Then I read in the English papers of Dan' tree' mwn^e to Miaa Dangerfield, of Sewtwood Perk. %mun. Hew I lived throogh it all I know not. li««dthe«toi!^orb«(aBarriage and UM.tragedv of her d^tii.

'Am aonry fur Laily Dangorfield,she has been kind to Rose, and I hope tills affair may be settled amicably after all.' 'Yes, I hope so.' answered the earl, 'but I doubt it It's a confounded bore for me, now that everything is settled â€" ' He stopped suddenly. *Yon allude to Lady Cecil's engage- ment, I presume,' O'Douuell supple- mented, quite calmly. 'Rose has told me. My onl surprise is that it should be announced at this late day as newF. I lielieve I am correct in thinkiug it a very old affair indeed â€" of si\ years standing or more.' Very few people ever had the good fortune to see Raoul, Ear! of Ruysland at a loss, but for one brief moment he was at a loss now. 'Very old affair â€" oh, yes, very â€" ever siuee his fathei's death â€" in fact, it has been tacialy â€" ei â€" understood â€" nothing definite â€" aw â€" too young, of course, and all that sort of thing. It was the desire of the late Sir John, as well as myself, and â€" er â€" the young people were by no means adverse to carrying out our wishes. Ail is hap- pily settled now â€" the wedding will take place without any nnnecessary delay. Are you going to Castleford at once I should like to have a half hour's cocversaliou with you about,' â€" he lowered his voice â€" 'about Miss Hemeastle I have placed a de- tective ou her track.' O'Dounell found Cecil in the draw ing-room singing just as she used to sing at Torrygleo. Cecil said 'I hope you admire my waltz â€" il is of my own composing. I call it the Rose Waltz, and dedicate it to Miss Rose O'Donnell.' 'I like it, but I liked the song I heard you singing as I came in better â€" my song. Lady Cecil. Do you re- member the last time I sang it stand- ing beside you in the little parlor at Torrvglen, as I stand now You playing, and your father asleep in his arm-chair â€" or was he only pre- tending sleep, and watching us The la.st time. Lady Cecil, only I did not know it.' She made no reply. She still play- ed the Rose Waltz, but she struck the chords at random. '1 .remember it so well. You were dressed in whit» as you are now. White is your fitting color. Lady Ce- cil. You had wild roses in your hair, and we sang together all the evening and scarcely spoke a word. You have changed since then â€" grown taller, more womanly, more, beautiful and jet â€" will you be offended â€" I think I liked the 'Queenie of Torrvglen' than La Reine Blanche of Scarawood.' 'Captain O'Donnell's memory is good,' she answered, 'better than I gave him credit for. I remember the evening he alludes to very well â€" the last though I did not know it either. And will he be offended if I tell him that I liked the Redmond O'Donnell who savad my life, who sang sougs, who was neither blase nor cynical, much better th^an the dashing Chas- seur d'Afriqu^ ))f six years after. I fear time imp^ved neither of us I have grown wildly, you a cynic. What will be ten years hencs, I won- der ' He then spoke to-^r iu allegorical language of their hap^ time at Tor- ryglen, and wtiea it came to the let- ters she received after their departure she said 'Captain O'Donnell, what story is this Is it â€" is it â€" ' 'My own,' Lady Cecil! Yes; you need hardly ask the question, I think,' he said. 'Need I ngt Yours And what letter is this yon talk of, written by my hand and signed with my name. I don't understand.} 'Yon don't understand. A few min- utes ago you accused me of a defective memory. But I suppose a matter of such trifling import could not be ex pocted to remain in your memory. I mean the letter yon wrote me, reject- ing my presumptuous suitâ€" telling me of yonr engagement to Sir Arthur Tregenna, |the uigut before you left Torryglen' 'I never wrote any such letter.' •Lady C^il I' 'I never wrote any such â€" ' She paased suddenly.

IN Whilst Montreal is a model city in many respects, il is not exactly a quarter section of Paradise, as Capt. Geo. Murphy, Chief of Goverumeut Police can testily. A reporter of a Montreal journal waited upon this gentleman a short time ago, and put to him the following query "Chief, do you fiud the duties irfc- sume-and dangerous in yonr etrange calling " "Irkeomt," replied Mr. Murphy, "I seldom find them but that they are attended with danger is very true. There is danger to be faced, of course, frora wind, weather and crinaiuals, and the leaat of these dangers, is not those of exposure and bad weatLor. The heavy, moist atmosphere that gathers over the water is very condu- cive to rheumatism, and many of my men suffer from that complaint more or less. I believe our danger from exposure from thij time forward is past, as St. Jacob's Oil, if applied in time la cases of rheumatism, has a wonderful way of knocking that mala- dy out of people. It certainly reliev- ed me of a pain in my shoulders." Mr Freeman has soH a large stock of furniture to Mr Crane. «• Sheep stealers are busy about here.
