Laura sighed wearily. "You know what I mean,‘"‘ went on Sir Ralph, with a passionate ring in his deep voice. ‘‘We have both made a mistakeâ€"a terrible mistakeâ€"but we must get out of it as be«t we can."* *‘Why do you speak thus?"‘ answer« ed Laura; and she looked at him halfâ€" reproachfully, hallâ€"sadly, ‘‘You know I will not, must not, listen. You only make my life harderâ€"you who should help me; and I need help, I meed help indeed!"‘ t"f‘o}gi\’efimo." he said; ‘but it is so difficult not to speak of what one Laura madeâ€"no answer.â€"She tura« ed away her head, and for a few moments Sir Ralph walked on in silâ€" ence by her side. The sun sank beâ€" meath the bank of clouds; the wind began to stir the brown brarches of the clmws; the air grew _ chill, and Laura: slightly shivered. F Before she could reply they both gaw Gcorge Gifflord advancing toâ€" ward them, who met them with a pleasant smile. He thought no more, indeed, of meeting Laura with Sir Raiph than" be shad mer ber with Anna Lindsay. *‘‘I came out to meet you,"" the said, looking at Laura, ‘"‘for Anua told ine you were in the grounds someâ€" where; but I did not know you had Sir Ralph for an cscort," he added, with a goodâ€"natured glance at his host. Tears rushed into her eyes as she spoke, and her lips quivered, and Sir Ralph felt a keen pang ol scllâ€"reâ€" proach as he saw this. minutes ago," said Sir Ralph. ‘"I was telling her 1 think it is getting rather cold for her to be out."

And as he spoke he raised his cap and turned away, with an angry, jealous pang burning is his hcart. He took her hand as he spoke, with familiar affection, and _ drew _ it through his arm, and Sir Ralph‘s dark face paled as he saw the simple action. 4 It had been fixed that the Giffords were to stay three days at Hareâ€" wood, but Sir Ralph urged them to rema.n _ longer. _ (icorge, however, pleaded his business engagements. "A _ hardâ€"working _ lawyer must think of his clients, Sir Ralph," he said, smiling. "‘I am bound to be back at the office by Friday." ‘"But go into Suffold on Friday, and then return here," ‘replied Sit Ralph; ‘"and Mrs. Gifford and Miss Lindsay, of course, will remain here â€"and your father.‘" _ ""Oh, no, no, George," she said, Rastily; ‘‘we must all go on Friday." ‘"I suppose that settles it," anâ€" swered George. _ ‘"When you are a marriecd man, Sir Ralph, the first thing you‘ll have to learn is obedâ€" ience." And George laughed. But Sir Railph visibly winced. "He gives you a hbad character, you see," ha said, looking at Laura, who blushed beneath his gaze. Then George turned away and beâ€" gan talking to Anna Lindsay; and Sir: Ralph said in a low and someâ€" what bitter tone to Laura: "It is better I should go," â€"sho answered, also speaking . in a Jow voice. "I gee mo difference it can make." Laura did not speak, but she felt it did ‘make a difference. Secing Sir Ralph daily was too great a straim en â€" her own â€" powers of endurance, when Goorge also was by her side. She had noticed the jealous Jook on Sir Ralph‘s face the evening before, when George had takemn her hand in his and drawn it through his arm. She had seen Sir Ralph‘s lips wince and quiver when George appronched her, and she was conscious that sho preferred George fot to be ncar hor in Sir Ralph‘s prosence. ‘‘You seem in a great hurry to leave my house," . "I am bettor away,"" she told herâ€" self, and so she meant to go. . But her leaving with George angored Sir Ralph groatly. ‘"Have I annoyed you in any way?"* he presently asked. ® ‘‘No, no, it is not that, but=â€"=" "But what?" asked Sir Haiph, bending his head & little nemror. George looked at Laura inquiringâ€" " _ said Laurx, in a low CHAPTER XXIL 1 must go back to my work.‘* *‘*You have no necessity for work» ing now.*" *‘Yes,. I have." **You mean it keeps you from thinking? ~You see I can guess your thoughts; but in spite of work you will think, you must think.‘" "I must try not to do so.‘" ‘If you succeed will you give me a lesson in the art? Do you think," he went on bitterly, ‘"I would not also forget it all if I could? Do you think it makes me any happier to reâ€" member the old daysâ€"to seo you again, in memory,. looking in my face as you used to look then?"‘ ‘‘Oh! hush, hush, Sir Ralph!‘* ‘‘You madden +me by your indifâ€" ference, or feigned indifference. You grudge me a smile, and yet I know, I feelâ€"‘" ‘‘Sir Ralph, do you see Miss Lindâ€" say looking at us? For my sake do mot speak, o not look as you ars doing now." _ s ie "I am a bad actor, I am afraid. Â¥es, I see Miss Lindsay‘s redâ€"brown eyes have a curious flicker in them. I dislike that woman, and yet I have Bo reason.‘" ‘"‘She is not lovable, certainly." *"Few women are lovable, to my gnind. What is it that makes the charm, I wonder? Is it that the mind attunes itself to ours? It is something beyond _ mere _ beauty, though beauty has doubtless great power. But a man wants more than that to fill the complex nature of his heart." .. Laura‘ Sighed uncasily. ‘‘Do you remcmber the first time I spoke to you in the pictureâ€"gallery?"* ""Yes," ‘‘And do you remember when wo went, long after, to another pictureâ€" gallery, and we sat and talked? Laura, I loved you thenâ€"as I love you now." *‘Well, won‘t you stay, Laura?‘ asked Gcorge. j ‘‘No; I have some work to do, and I must do it," answered Laura; and then she turned away. To stay any ; was impossible. ‘_So the next dayâ€"Fridayâ€"the fame fly party rcturned to Red House, and the old weary lifo began again for Laura. Her mind was out of tunc; in that state when trifles cease to interest and amuse, and when there seems no pleasuro under the sun. She sat down to ber work in & listless fashion; she wrote a few lines, and her mind wandered away,. Again she heard that low plcading voice: | "Laura, I loved you thenâ€"as I love He almostâ€" whispered the last words, but Laura heard themn. At the other end of the room George and Anna Lindsay were still talking, and (Gicorge noticed at this momcnt "‘Perhaps he‘s trying to pt';-unile het_}o stay on," suggested Anna. "I was trying to persuade her to stay over, the mect on Tuesday," said Sir Ralph, longer at Harcwood Hall she felt attitude "Sir Ralph is talking in a wonderâ€" fully impressive way to Laura," he said; ‘"I wonder what it‘s all about?" So Gcorge went up to his wife and said pleasantly to her: "L amâ€"sureâ€"Sirâ€"Ralph is trying to persuade you to do something, Laura; what is it?" Laura‘s face crimsoncd and then paled. Sir Railph‘s ‘‘Very likely; let us go and ask them.‘ _ **You think of nothing but that confounded book, I believe,"‘ he said. "If you find housekeeping such a trouble, you‘d best let Anna order the dinners, as she used to do beâ€" fore." i *Very â€" well," answered â€" Lavra, coldly; and she again lifted up her pen. But George did not mean nor wish to offend her, and after looking at her for a moment or two he laid his hand kindly on her shoulder. _ weorge came in cheerful and cheery; asked what she had ordcred for dinâ€"= nerâ€"a subject in which he had conâ€" sidcrable interest, _ Laura had forâ€" gotten the dinner. Still, there was plenty of time, as it was yet only carly. morning, but George did not look overâ€"well pleased. ‘"‘I didn‘t mean that, you know, little woman," he said; "but I am vexed to seo you always poring over your Writingâ€"table instead of bustling about tho house, which would be far better for you,. You don‘t look over strong, and I wish you would . take more excercise. If you like I will come home carly from the office toâ€"day, and take you for a walk.‘" "I am sorry for that, dear.‘‘ _ And George bent do®® and kissed her forchead, or rather the curls on her forchead. ‘‘Well, goodâ€"by now, and take care of yourself.‘‘ And he turnâ€" ed and went away; and Laura sighed @ecply aifter he was gone. "‘Not toâ€"day, thank you, George," answered Laura, gently; "I don‘t feel Â¥ery well toâ€"day." Then she roused herself and . went to see after that important affair, the dinner. And it is an important affair, no douht, to a hardâ€"working man like George Gifford. But, oh, the difference of a loving wife ordering little jluxuries for _ her husband, thinking of what he would like best, of his tastes, his fancies, and an unâ€" loving wife considering _ the â€" same UOuty. _ Lavufra wished many a time that she had let Anna Lindsay go on ?uh-rin_g_ the dinncrs and keeping the keys. The small responsibilitics worâ€" ried hor; they disturbed her ideas; they broke into the throad of her plot. j Still it had to be done, and she did It. ‘Then aftor lunch she tried writ« Ing again. But struggle against it as We will, something of the mood that we are in affects our writings. Laura feit weary and depressed, z:s/mr wrote without spirit. But t four o‘clock the house doorâ€" rang, and #he heard a man‘s footsteps crossing the hall. drawingâ€"room which she always used It was Sir Ralph Woodland.

Why prolong a uscless struggle? Laura, do you know why I came toâ€"day?" Laura slightly shook her head.‘ . _*"I am bound .to him,"" said Laura, _ with trembling lips. 5 "Not as ~you ~are ~bound to me. Love binds you to me with truer bands than a few words from a parâ€" son‘s lips, which can have no meanâ€" ing unless they be true. In your case they never were true.

What is the use of going on living such a life as yours is now? Leave Mr. Gifford, and as soon as it is possible we shall be married." _ He followed her; he took her reâ€" luctant hand; he bent down and kissâ€" ed it. "It is quite impossible!" said Lauâ€" ra, rising and beginning to pace the room _ in the greatest _ distress. *‘Speak of this no more, Sir Ralphâ€" youâ€"you add to my misery!‘‘ ‘‘Forgive me if I pain you,‘" he said, ‘‘but I do it because I know the struggle in your heart. You think yourself bound to Mr. Gifford, whom you do not love?"* â€"‘‘I seem so, but I am not. If I believed.you were happy I would go away; go out of your life, and see you no more.

And how are you?" _ The two men shook hands, and exâ€" changed a few words, and then Sir Ralph explained the s.cming object of his visit. _ â€"welil, and are you going, Laura?" msked George, looking at his wife, who was very pale. P o d ‘"I came to try and persuade Mrs. Gifford again to come to the meet on Tucsday,‘"" he said. ‘‘It is to be not more than a quarter of a mile from the house.at .Hanwg’qnd_.â€"” «use so It struck George that she was looking very ill, though he never for a moment suspected that Sir Ralph‘s visit had anything to do with it. "No, George, I can not go," she answered in a faltering voice. "I came home carly,‘" he went on, "to sce if â€"you. had changed your mind and would go out for a walk, but you do look very seedy. But, Sir Ralph, you will stay and dine with us, won‘t you?" _ _ But Sir Ralph declined. He remain~ ed a few minutes longer, and then he took his leave, and wont straight to the hotel where he had put up Kis horse. Ho also was very pale; he bit his lips under his moustache more than once as he rode slowly homeâ€" ward, and when he arrived at Harcâ€" wood he went to his own room, and began pacing the floor with resticss footsteps. S "I am a bad man, I suppose,‘" he was thinking, ‘"to urge her to do agninst her will what she no doubt believes to be a sin; but to my mind it is no sin. It is a sin for a woman to marry a man she does not . love; but Laura loves me, and she shall never regret that love. _ I shall be good to her alwaysâ€"poor girl, poor girl! What hard f@te was it that parted us, when our love would havo had no sting, no remorse, to her tonder heart? But ‘she will get over thisâ€"in her love she will forget itâ€" I must teach her to forget it." He went to th¢ window of the room as he spoke, nndistood looking moodâ€" ily at the fastâ€"darkening sky.. Many problems were passing _ through ._his mind; great questions to which *he had no guide. Sir Raliph Woodland had drifted away from the teachings of his youth, and in his manhood held no creed that interfered with his own will. He loved Laura, and she loved him, and he told himsclfâ€"or tried to tell himself that this was a sufficient reason to defy all laws. Laura, in the meantime, was trying to seem at case and talk as usual to George, while in her heart a conâ€" flict was going on almost too great for her to endure. Every day her life was bocoming more strained, and its ordinary routine harder to bear. . A long Sunday followed this momentâ€" ous mecting with Sir Ralph, and then a long Monday â€" and Tuesday. But on Wednesday a blow struck her which placed a sure weapon in . the hand of her cnemy, Anna Lindsay, which she was not slow to use. The two were sitting togother in the morning, after George bad 0 to his office, and the Suffold fornâ€" ing post was lying unopencd@"on the table beside them. Laura puzzl« ing over someâ€"houschold # accounts, which she could nut quiys make exâ€" act, when Anna tookâ€"Up the nowsâ€" poper and bogan cartlossly scanning its columns. Suddofily she gave an exclamation. i "A dreadful accident happened yesâ€" torday to Sir Ralph Woodland on the Wuntingâ€"ficld. Hoe was thrown, and his horse rolled over him. ‘They fearâ€"" 5 MA _ But here Anna stopped, for with a sorl of cry Laura sprang to hor continued Anna, with her redâ€"brown Nee e t e te tor, and to the oftice for George. ‘There was triumph in ber heart as she did this. George should know of the false wife he had cherished, she told herself, and she eagerly awaited his coming. 3 But still she lay motioniess, and finally Miss Lindsay sent for the docâ€" so, and Anna saw with jealous eyes this sign of emotion, ‘"She is notâ€"‘** he gasped out, with trembling lips. _ _ . CC MRCK ‘‘What is this? What is the matter with Laura?" ho asked, breathlessly. "Come in here, George,‘"‘ answered Anna, and she pulled him by the hand into the diningâ€"room, the door of which was standing open, George turned quite pale as she did ‘‘She‘s coming round, sir,"‘ said the cook, who was bathing Laura‘s hands with cold water, now addressing her master,. George mado a step nearer, and stood looking at his wife with a strange feeling in his heart. But at thisâ€"moment theâ€"doctor hunried â€"into the room, and shaking ~hands with _ He came in great haste, before the doctor arrived, and Anng met him in George Gifford made no answer to his cousin‘s insinuations. He broke hastily away from her and went into the breakfastâ€"room. and lying on s couch, with the servants standing around her, he found his wife. _ _ "I read out the account of Sir Ralph Woodland‘s accident yesterday on the huntingâ€"field,‘"* she hissed forth, ‘"‘and when she heard it she fainted at once dead away.

I thought I hml‘.lnqb.o:'ter tell you the cause of her illness,"‘ answered. rm.. "‘when no one clse was near,"* George as he passed him, at once commenced to endeavor to revive Laura. ‘‘Perhaps I had better go into anâ€" other room,‘" said George, slowly, and he left the room as he spoke, and in the hall he met Anna Lindâ€" nt w c 2000 d.2 "She looks very~ ill,"~ answered George, coldly; and then he went into the diningâ€"room, and shut the door bchind him and sat down to think_.. eagerly, Could there be any truth in this, story of Anna‘s?"‘ he was asking him« self. He also has seen the account of Sir Ralph‘s accident in the news= papers at the office, pnd it was cerâ€" tainly extraordinary that it should bave had such an effect on Laura, if Anna‘s words were true. "But she was always jealous . of Laura,‘"" Gcorge also reflected, and then he began to look back on what had occurred during the last fow weeks. Certainly Laura‘s spirits had not been good lately, and she : had been _ looking _ ill. But he had never noticcd anything in Sir Ralph‘s manner to her that was at all out of the common. . le was â€"a sensible man, but not a quick nor observant one, and he was very . matterâ€"ofâ€"fact. To his mind a man paying attention to a woman meant to be constantly at her side. This certainly Sir Ralph had not been. = e ATUENE VC CCC "It is just some folly of Anna‘s,"" he decided, but all the same he felt disturbed. â€" Anna‘s evil words has not fallen on unhceding ears. *‘What?*‘ she gasped out, ‘"what?" *They fear he is fatally injured," Presently the doctor rapped at the door, and entered the room, followed by Anna. "I would like a word with you, Mr. Gifford," said Doctor Wallace, who was a little brightâ€"faced, keenâ€" eycd, middleâ€"aged man. ‘‘Has Mrs. Gifford had any sudden shock lately, likely to bring on this attack?" es o hoA s 290 itc c en i ce w t ‘‘Not that I know of," answered George, a little hoarscely. a lit MESCN‘s 7 003 ~bageke "‘She is in an exceedingly low state of health," continued Doctor Wal lace, ‘"‘and the action of her heart is weak, and any sudden news or anâ€" xicty would inevitably cause faintâ€" ness, ~and she must be guarded against all excitement. I will send her some medicine in a quarter of an hour, and will look in again during the evening. She must go to bed at once, and above everything, be kept porfectly quiet." Anna Lindsay said nothing. She was standing behind the doctor, and George did not care to look at her face. "Very well, doctor," said Gcorge Gifford, slowly. And then the little doctor bustled away, and after _ he was gone for a moment the cousins looked in cach other‘s eycs. lA Anna‘s were written, "I told you #o," as plainly as if she had spoken the words; in | Gcorge‘s, uncasiness and daubt.

Sir Wilfrid said he would consider the matter. He could see that abuses might arise from members of Parliaâ€" ment practising in the direction just mentioned. Hon, Raymond Prefontaine, replying to a question put by Hon.
