He bowed without speaking, and with a little tender glance at Arundel, Muriel left the room. "The most unsociable person I ever met," she soliloquized, as she went tlowly along the hall and up the stairs te her own room. â- ' I should really like to know what he came to see PkUssel about â€" he never took my hand when I held it out to him.

After a few mo- menta he was calm again then he rose and moved toward the door. NVatcuing tlus man, who was his twin- hrother, yet whose nature he could in no wise understand, a deep pa.ssionate regret swept over Arundel Anihou. Ah, it he could only jjo to Kussel as he had once used to go, and ask the forgiveness he always had given no \\ illingly for the b( yish wrong he i'lad dealt him if ha could only tell him how it was he had come to wrong him so terribly, tell him what a feaiful temptation it had been, how he had strus.'gled to ovei- eome it, .mil \\(i\\ it had Leeii too strong tor him. bid llussel remember hov,-, when they were little boys, they used to read the story of Cain and Abel, and because they loved each other so dearly then, they never could understand how Gain could have killed his lirother.

"If the time should tvcr lome when you could do anything for Arundel, 1 want you to do it, Fvussel, for my .sake."

" i'or mother's sake. Arundel â€" I forgive you." The library door swung open, then closed again. Merrily th.e tiickering firelight danced on the wall, throwing gleams of rosy light up- on the massive furniture and over the pro;- trate form of Arundel .Anthon as he lay prone upon the tlior.

In her chair before the fire Muriel had fallen asleep waiting for him her book lay upon her lap, over her face had come the deep peacefulnefs of an untroubled slumber. Standing beside her Arundel looked down at her. His intei view with Russel had affected hi n as he had thouaht nothing could ever do. The terrible sho'jk of linditg alive the man whom \f 1 ad supposed long dead v.-as in itself suih-jm t to completely unnerve him, and the waves ft biiter remorse and passionate regret whiehhad dashed over him as he lay prone upon the lilraiy floor had " his s rength. He felt diin- v/as appiochiug. that the h-ppiness, for whi^li he ii soul, v as becinning to CHAPTER XXXIX. It is not possible to sin and eacap3 punish- mentâ€" end thepunishment of sin is sufferioi;.

" Yes," you say, perhaps with a sigh, ".n the other world we mast all suffer for the swept away all ly that the end life 01 love and had perjured 1 crumble a^vay. As ho stood the beautiful fi y Muriel ,. chair, v.-atchiug ee white with sleep, he thought of the time which perhaps would come when the soft eyes which had never met his but tenderly, would open to him nevermore, when the sweet lips would be silent, the small hands cold and still. In his weakness he trembled from head to foot, and in a passion of despair he clasped the quiet fieure in his arms calling to her almost wildly. "Why, Russel, is it late " murmured Mu- r.el, drowsily. ' ' I have heen asleep, have I not I grew so tired of waiting for you. Wnat did Mr. Brandon want, dear " She was only half awake, and as she nest- led closer in his arms the long-lashed lids drooped again over her eyes, and she did not see his deathly pallor and quivering lips, nor notice the nervous trembling of his hands. Dreamily she repeated " What did Mr. Brandon want, Russel?" He made a desperate effort to control him- self, and was partially successful, for his voice was quite calm as he answered her. "Muriel, Roy Glenmore loves Louie." " Ah, I thought so," said Muriel, opening her eyes and looking thoughtfully into the fire " and I suppose Mr. Brandon came to tell you about himself and P^oy. Are you satisfied, Russel " He clinched his teeth, "Richard Brandon belongs to as good a family as I do, Muriel." " Oh, I am so glad," murmured Muriel, with a sigh of relief. "I like Roy Glen- more very much, and always have, so far as ho was personally concerned. The only thing I e\er had against him was the fact that there seemed to be a sort of mystery abcmt that uncle of his, and I was afraid there; v.as somet'iing wrong about the family. I could never consent to our daugiuei marrying a man whose name was not a fair and honourable one you know, Russel, if there i.s ouc thint; I am partic- ular about, it is family. Why is it Mr. I'Jrandon ia.is bd such a very reserved life?" Lnder his heavy moustache Arundel's lips were blue, there were cleep-drawn lines about his mouth, and the strained look upon his face told plainly by wdiat a terri- ble effort he m as controlling himself. " Years ago, Muriel, a sorrow came upon him^a sorrow so terrible that it darkened his life, and a wrong was done him^a cruel, cruel wrong, that must have made him think there vaa no faith nor truth nor honor in all the world." Had Muriel chancetl to lock up at him as he finished speaking she would have been shocked and startled beyond measure by the remorseful agony in .his eyes, the white anguish upon his face. " Oh, I understand now," she said, still gazin? musingly into the crackling fire. "So many lives are darkened and spoiled by sor- row and wrong that is something I have never been able to understand, why God al- lows such things to be. I do not see how He can permit one person to cruelly wrong another it seems so unjust that a true- hearted, really good peison should suffer because of the treachery and lack of honor in some one else." With a shudder Arundel hid his face on her sunny hair. For the wrong he bad dt ue, for the sin he had committed, tiirely he had this night suffered. " You are tired, are you not, dear?" said Muriel caressingly, noticing his silence and attributing it alone to physical weajiness. "I believe I am, too, and," with a little laugh, "as it is past cne o'clock we m.ightas well go to bed." Then suddenly, as she rose from her chair. " Russel, have you given Roy Glenmore your consent to ask Louie to be his wife?" He knew not how to answer the direct question he could not bring himself to tell her a deliberate lieâ€" not while he still felt the touch of Russel's hand upon his head, not while the sound of the voice that had saiu, "Formothir's sakeâ€" I forgive you," still rang in his ears. Half a dozen hours before and the consciousness that he was speaking falsely wotild have troubled him but little â€" for a simple untnith spoken is not much to a person whose whole life is a lie â€" but it was different now, "Muriel," he said slowly and hesititing- ly, paosing after each word to think what the next would be, "I have no right to with- hold my coiuent â€" and if the girl loves him " "Of that I am almost sure," mnrmnred â- -^nauHy. "1 tWnk h«i •»• hat she loved him she would ircy awayâ€" poor Percy !â€" I never could make it seem nghter should marry Percy -an del answered re wrong than right in the ., perhaps,' said Muriel, he was thinking of the ipon tne Antnon name, er all the wrong will be shuddered. "What would have been able to believe er life, that when he was 1 that would be the end t there was truth in Mu- when the wrong he had ght, Muriel would be h s hat would be hell. Anthon reached home he isly waiting for him. Dur- .lie yonng man had been of conjectures he had in he called uncle so moved had been when h**, Roy. ,• coldly Mr. Anthon had I he could not help feeling ^vicuard Brandon's life held a secret with which Louie's proud, stately father was in some way connected. But Roy was young and he was very deeply and earnestly in love, and above all his wandering thou-?ht.s was the hope that his uncle would gain what he had failed to gainâ€" Mr. Anthon's uncon- ditional cons' nt. "For I could not ask h2r. to marry me against her parents' wishes," he said to him- self, sorrowfully "I could not steal a man's daughter away from him. If Mr. Anthon still refuses to give Louie to me, then " And then Roy dropped his head in his hanJs, his heart aching as it hael never aeiicd Leforc. The thought of life' without L'.iiic was very bitter. " What did he say. Uncle Richard?" hi asked, e.igi rIy, when the door openeii, and slowly and \s;arily Russel Antlion came into ilie room. "Was he satisfied v ith what you told him?" Ru.-3el Anthon passed one hand over bis eyes before he answered. In those deep eyes still lingered something of the look that had come into them when, bendine over Arundel's kneeling figure, he had laid his hand in forgiveness upon the bowed head of the man who had wronged him, who had sinned so terribly against him. "Roy, you can ask her no.v to be your wife." A a;reat glad joy broke over Roy's face. "Oh, Uncle Richard, how can I ever thank you Though I love Louie Anthon as tenderly as ever man loved woman, I could not have married her without her fa- ther's consent. " There v as a quiver, half of gladness, half of pain, in the low voice that answered him. "You have her father's consent, Roy and oh, my boy, guard her so tenderly, phield her from all sorrow and pain, keep grief and care out of her life. Because when a woman gives herself to a man she gives her happi- ness, the joy and biightness of her life, into his keeping, and it is his duty to save her happiness even though it can be done only at the cost of his own. For we are stronger than women are â€" better able to bear grief and pain and then, too, a woman does not give herself to a man unasked he asks her for her life, her happiness, and having ask- ed, it is his place to do all that he can do to make the li'e he takes into his keeping a bright and happy one. There is no sacri- fice too great to be made for the woman you love." Truly there had been no sacrifice too great for him too make, for the sake of the woman \^ho, at the altar, had j^iven her happiness into his hands. Awed by his words, feeling instinctivly that they had come straight from his heart, Roy raised his head, a serious earnest look- upon his face. "If Louie will trust her dear happiness with me, I shall hold it always as the most precious thing in all the world," he saiil. In the great city that night there were tMO men to whom sleep came not, whose eyes did not once close through all the long quiet hoars, whose thoughts were busy with the past one of those men was Russel An- thon, and the other was the man who had wronged him. The next day Roy received a note from Mr. Anthon it was a very short note â€" simply a request that he would call that evening and knowing what he had to say to him, and longing to see Louie, it seemed to Ptoyâ€" filled with all a lover's impatience â€"that the evening would never come. It did come at last, however, and it was a little after eight o'clock that he went up the steps of the Anthon mansion. The servant who opened the door ushered him into the library, where Arundel Anthon sat waiting for him. Before he had been in his presence ten minutes, E«y noticed a change in Mr. An- thon. He seemed to have grown oldersince he had seen him the previous night there was au expression upon the handsome face new to it and Boy found himself wonder- ing if it was fatigue that made the eyes so dark and gloomy, fatigue that had drawn such heavy lines about the haughty mouth. In a few words Mr. Anthon told Roy he no longer stood between him and Louie he said â€" and this he could say truly that Mrs. Anthon gave her consent willingly, feeling that she could trust her daughter's happi- ness with him. "And now I wi I ..ot detain you any long- er, Mr. Glenmore," he said, by way of conclusion. " Probebly you are anxious to see myâ€" to sse Louie. I think you will find her in the reception room." Roy's heart was throbbing so fast as he went along the hall, that just outside the reception room, he paused a seccnd to try and calm its wild beatings then he pushed aside the portiere and stepped into the room. On the little A-elvet couch where she and Percy Evnngham had sat that snowy Sun- day ^ternoou when he had told her he loved her, Louie was sitting, her pretty head bent over a book. But she was not reading she was tbmking instead, and a bright flush swept her face as, looking up, aheww the veij person who had been in her thoughts. Why, Mr. Glenmore, is it yon?" she said, a little nervously. •• I did not know you were bere-I did not hear the beU "I have been in the '^^rary^nanKto yonr father," add B»y* •* "^^ *?« *^ imaU hand she had extended tJ%iin, he seated himself by her side. " Talking to papa?" mnrmnred Lome, in- nocently. "Wnat have yon been taHung aboatf " Louie, can't you gneas " She cave one swift, upward glance at him; then suddenly the white lids drooped over the brown eyes, nntU thelonir, curly lashes touched the burning cheeks and Lome s breata was coming quickly, too. now. "I asked him," continued Roy-he had both the smslls hands now, and his Ups were abno t touching the soft waves that lay up- on the white foreheadâ€" "for the leare8t, the most precious thing he owns. I asked him. oh, my darUng. my darling I asked him to give me â€" you." j u It is hard to say just how it happened, but all iu an instant Louie's head was lying upon Roy's breast, his arms were tiffht around her, and his lips upon hers. "Bat you have not told me, even yet," murmured Roy. ha"f an hour later, looking down very tenderly into the eyes so won- drously soft and lovely now with the love- light in them. "Have not told yon what, Roy?' â€" itscem- the most natural thing in the world now to call him Roy. ., " W^hy, that you love me, darling. " Oh " looking saucily up at him, " what is the use of my telling you that ' " What is the use 1 think there is a great deal of use perhaps you don't, after all." " Oh, Roy, you know that I do 1 "Do what?" persisted Roy, Jiian-likc, de- termine'S to hear the sweet confession from her lips. She nestled closer to him one round arm crept round his neck. "That I doâ€" oh, Roy, that I do love you I" So at last he was satisfied. JKWIBH PXBSXCUTIOHB; lastds History of an Xveat that u flsd te Civibxsd World.

But though Muriel smiled, her eyes were very misty bhe felt the pang which all mo- thers feel when they realize they are no longer first in their children's hearts. "I know how very dear she is to you, and ' oh, Mrs. Anthon, how can I ever thank you for giving lier to me," said Roy, quickly. "By nn.king her happy â€" by keeping, so far as is in your power, pain and care out of her life. I never quite reab'/.'^d, until now that I am so socn to lose her, !â- iw dear shes is to me, Roy." "God helpinc me, you shall never regret having given her to me," said the young man, eancstly and, looki"g up into the noble handsome face, with its eyes so ten- der and true, Muriel murmured " I am sure of that, Roy there is no one with whom I would trust Louie's happiness more willingly and hopefully than you.' She spoke the truth too. Louie and Roy had been engaged a month now, and in that time Muriel had seen a areat deal of him, had come to know him well â€" and to know Roy Glenmore well was to love and trust him. She had studied him closely, had made a careful analysis of his character, and she had not diTcovered a single glaring fault there was no selfishness nor petty meanness nor lack of honor in his nature, it was true to the very core and feeling that she had wronged him in the beginning, that she had been unjustly suspicious of him, she hastened to make amends by treating him with all kindness. It was not hard to do so either, and before very long Muriel found that he held a tender place in her heart. "I cannot help loving him," she said, one day, impulsively, to Arundel. "He is so tender and thoughtful, so gentle aud true it is rare to find such thoughtful tenderness in a man and yet at the some time there is something about him so strcng and protect- ing you feel that you could depend ujon him in any emergency, lean upon him for Euppoit. I was not surprised when yester- day Louie said to me, speaking about him, ' Mamma, I feel so safe with Roy as though he could take care of me no mat- ter what should come, as though he was strong enough to lift me above every care and pain.' After all, there is nothing we women prize so dearly in the men we love as strength, moral as well as physical." And Arundel listened in silence. People were beginning to notice a change in Mr. Anthon. The men at his club missed his clover speeches, witty remarks and bril- liant Ion-mots, his low, musical laugh and suoerb good spirits and they said to each other, " What is the matter with Anthon lately, do you notice how listless aud low- spirited he seems? Perhaps he has been losing money in Wall Street, has been un- fortunate in some speculation." Society women missed his gay repartee and easy E feasant conversation. " Have you noticed ow unusually quiet dear \ipi. Anthon's husband is lately?" they said amongst themselves. "He has scarcely a word to say to any one, he seems to take no in- terest in anything. He was restless and nervous â€" he who had once said nonchalantly he had no nerves he started at every sudden noise he had no appetite, his sleep at night was broken and feverish; there was a look all new to them in his dark eyesâ€" a hunted look. He could not bear Muriel out of his sight, and many times she caught his eyes fixed upon her witii a piteous wistfulness m them which she was utterly at a lois to undeistand.

Xheir "' tiigues with certain well-known Jewesses'!* light repute were a constant scuroeofsn-' row to the old man, and one i.i-ht at t' end of January, when the younts'ers r turned unusually late from a carousul with their companions, he ventured to expi^" late with them. They i-eplied by tirii; "" couple of pistol shots at their lather, whc' being thoroughly alarmed by the atteuip- upon his life, fled in haste to the hasha. wh- at once sent a file of soldiers to arrest the would-be parricides. There was astilf'rc. sistcnce, but eventually the youni; Je'u,= were captured and imprisoned. Tiie mr day they each received six hundred him with the bastinado in the presence of thoj father. His wrath, however, was by li. means quenched. Like other fathers vh have to mourn the wickedness of unrepent- ant prodigals, his indignation giew hotter and hotter against the sirens whose charms had wrecked the virtue of his sons. He applied to the basha to arrest all the Jewisn women of bad repute to whom he attribut- ed his children's ruin. The basha called the Jewish sheikh, furnished him vitha force of soldiers, and gave him a warrant Ui arrest every Jewess whom the .lew Amiei reasonably suspected of complicity in tiit ruia of the young Jews who had just been bastinadoea. The .Jewish sheikh apparent- ly nothing loath, took the soldiers, ami that night hauled out of their beds the eight Jewesses whose sufiferirg has horri- fied Europe. Of these eight one is declare.i to be a .Jewish girl of uuiir psaehed respect ability, as, indeed, is noc unlikely. A .Jewish police des meeurs improvised in Morocco can hardly expect to escape tbe blunders into which the police charged with such duties constantly fall in more civilized lands. Of the other seven, they were, to say the least, no batter than they should be. Next morning the whole eight v.ere stretched flat in the marketplace, isce downward. A Moor held each i.aa^, another stood upon their shoulders, and they were severely flogged by relays cf sol- diers. One of them is said to have gone mad during the process. When it was over the wretched women were bundled into jail pending their expulsion from the town. The American vice-co:sul, himself a Jew. interfered, and they were released. That is the whole story and a 'ery disgusting and horrible story it is, but anything morf absolutely different from " persecution " could hardly be imagined. The man Amic' was'a-lew, his sons were Jews. The aires; was made by the Jc'.vish sheikh at the sug- gestion of the Jew Amiel, and the punisli- ment was inflicted on the Jewesses by the Moors solely at the re(iaest of the Jews.
