Thuraday, Miaich £2, 1034 There was an unmistakable meanâ€" ifg in his words. For the first time Marah suspected that he loved her. She was eorry, and hoped it might not be true, for she wanted to keep him as a friend. But she was not left in yncertainty, for before he left ber that very evening Helleburg wsked her to marry him. "Oh, I ought to have told you!" said Marah, hesitatingly, deeply trouâ€" bledâ€"‘"there was a man whom I lovedâ€"at homeâ€"it seems a long time ago nowâ€"ho is deadâ€"but I can vever love any one elseâ€"like that!" ‘"The wildest love is not the best â€"and you were made for loveâ€"" "I was made for unhappiness," said Masath. "My name was not given to mme for nothing! Oh, if you could only have stayed my friend!" she added, longingly. "I am always looking for you. I think I was looking for you even beâ€" fore we first met." a "I think I cared for you from that moment in the hotel office," he eald. "When I looked into your face the first time it was as if 1 were euddenâ€" ly full of a great pity for youâ€"and understanding, tooâ€"such things are very hard to explain. There are no words for them." The tears came to her cyes as she taought of Leonard. She wiped them away softly with her handkerchief. Hellsburg sat in silence for a moâ€" ment. f "I knew you did not love me," he said, finally. "You were too much at case with me for that. But love is born from many thingsâ€"and reâ€"born too, Marah." . He had never called her ‘by her first name before, and she found it gave her pleasure to hear him sgay It. "Love such as mine for L&nard is never reâ€"born," she sald. "I can etay your friend and be something more, too. You are lonely und wretched now, halfâ€"ill and that woman you live with is not good to you. Would you be more unhappy with me?â€"â€"Think." "I like to be with you. There is no one I like a0 much to be withâ€" but I could not marry you. That is a different thing." They talked for a long time, but wlways Margah held to hor refusal. It did not occur to her to think of Heilsburg‘s offer as a way of escape. He wanted more than she could give, whe folt, and told him so. she â€" remembered CROWN BRAND ; WHO DISCOVERED (amermca @2 _ 1 HOPE YOU‘RE GOOD AND HUNGRY, P/X/Z, BECAJSE 1‘M OH 7 TAKING_YOU FOR LLNCH TO @oopy.", TME NEW GOAALZE GRILL vewrr DIXIE DUGAN EODWAROSBURG White Lies the sound of the surf on the beach beneath them seqmed to fill the siâ€" lence so completely that they felt no awkwardness. Whep they separâ€" ated, Marah felt that something im portant and delicious had gone qut of her life, something she wa@lifust beginning to appreciate, something that would perhaps never come back. Murah knew that men often said these things when they were . part ing from a woman they loved at the moment. She did not believe that Hellsburg would never forget her, tut sho perceived in him, neverthe: lees a quality of simplicity, mingled with feeling, which she had not enâ€" countored before in any human beâ€" ing. He had the gift of saying the eimplest words in a way which made them lingor in the mind,â€"all his look« and gestures had signifiâ€" cance. He was not In any way brilâ€" liant or conspleuous, yet he always counted for something. Yet she would see Hellaburg again; they would meet inevitably when Von Stoll went to America for; his wedding. At the last Interview they had had together ho had made her promise that if ever she needed him in any way, if, by any chance, She ever came to love him, she would send for him. "For I shall not chance," he said. "I shall be always waiting for you just as I told you I was al ways, unconsclously, looking for you before we met." CHAPTER XXLL . When she and her cousin had left Biarritz behind them the rememâ€" brance of Karl Hellsburg faded, more or less, from ‘Marah‘s mind. His love had touched and gratified her, but their acquaintance had been too whort, the contact of their lives too alight, for her to miss him very much in her dally existence, Parls, strange to say, was a rest tor Mrs. Thompson gave herself up to preparations for the wedding with flerce concentration. _ Marah â€" was Marah was glad that they were to meet again in‘ America. By that time, «he thought, he would have reâ€" signed himself to the idea of her not murrying him, and they could take up again the friendship she <o much desired. In herâ€" aequired humility, and consclona of the little she had to oflfer, it seemed to her that three nonths wias more than long enough tor any man to get over a fancy he might have for her. not strong enough to get out in the evening . with her cousin, so her nights were as solitary as her days. She apent long houra in the secluâ€" wlon of her bedroom, which looked out, a« before, on the court of their hotel. Sometimes ehe lay on the bed, awake nor asleap, too weak and sufâ€" fering to got up; sometimes she sat listlessly in the armâ€"chair, with a book on her lap, which she hardly ever read. When she did not take her â€" mea‘s . with Mre. Thompson (which was often, is the latter had many engagements) they wore sent up to hoer on a tray Sho celdom went out, as ahe did vot feel strong enough to walk and Mrs. Thompson did not suggest her tuking caba. On one dccagion, too, when she had ventured out on foot, a small, thin Frenchman, with a potuted, black beard and a soft craâ€" vat, had terrified her by following her und trying to make her acquaintâ€" pnce. After that she had etayed more closely In the house than ever. Strangely enough she was less unâ€" Aappy than she had been for a long time. The rellef from her counsin‘s constant presence was like that which comes after an eecape from exâ€" + COLUMBUS wou is von nux‘t ... HYâ€" WASMY ARCU.

THOSE ARE tAsy fOR ME posure to & mumum..m[ times the meid whom Mrs. Thomp , Marthe decided in her own mind that Marah was very eympathetic, though not une demoiselle elegante. She pitied her for her i1 health and her ugly clothes. Decidedly Madame was not attached to her cousin, since ehe left her to spend most of her time alone in an inside bedroom. Perhaps, though, there was some reason for this, some mystery, and again ‘Marthe sighed when she thought of all those unintelligible letters, lying about so carelessly, ready to her hand. "March," replied Hugh, briefly, glowing with pride but «omewhat red in the face. So Baron yon Stoll was to marry a prospective grandmother. It was Indeed‘ un almost unbearable stroke Oof calamity. And the worst of it was that she must Immediately begin to live up to the requirements of the altuation. The wedding with its preliminaries was a difficult question for Mrs. Thompson to handle. After a great Ceal of thought (she was . wise enough to consult with no one) she deeided to make no announcement of it untll Von Stoll‘s arrival in New York. The ceremony would be very qulctly performed in a small and comparatively unknown church she knew of. Absolutely no one but the family would be presentâ€"she could not plcture to herself Clarisse Briggs, Ola, Princess Poleveky, Jacob Klein, and the rest gittlng in the pews with the â€" Everetts and â€" their friends; nelther dared she brave their wrath by not Inviting them. She would ask Only Mr. and Mra. Everett, Amy‘s parents, Miss Lawrence, Marah and ber slster, Hellsburg, and a cousin cf her flance‘s who was in the emâ€" bassy at Washington. Hugh would glve her away. Sho would wear a violet cloth dress and the next day she und Von Stoll would sall for Enrope. ‘The announcement of the marrlage would be the first the reâ€" porters should know of it, however carefully they might be on the watch, Oh! she had overlooked the question of license! That was difficult, but whe must trust to luck that the marâ€" rlage of an undistinguished Mrs. Thompson with a German barou, who bad never been in Newport, would pass without notice. The one objectionable quality in Von Stoll was what sho felt was m inurruw-mmd«d family pride. Much as heâ€" wanted her_ companionship, groatly as he armired her physically, the knew he would never marry her In November they salled for home and were met on the pler by Hugh and Amy, the latter, to Mre. Thompâ€" son‘s horror, looking very matronly in a large, loose cloak. No ihint of any deglcule mecrets had been given in Hugh‘s letters, and it seemed to Mrs. Thompson that this blow was more than she could endure. She took her son aside at the first opporâ€" tunity. "You never wrote me about Amy," whe said, in a wrathful underâ€" tone; "when is It to be?" "Dear child." she breathed, tenderâ€" ly, in Amy‘s ear, when ghe took her Into her embrace. "And you never told me!" She mentally resolved that she would send Amy south for the early winter, under some pretext or other, so that she need not be presâ€" ent at the wedding. In that way the unfortunate ciicumstance could be concealed for the present. Mre. Thompson did not realise that Von Stoll was under no Illusions as to her age that ho knew she had a marâ€" rled son, and, being a good and worâ€" thy German, would have rejoiced over these domestle hopes. She was misled in this case, as often, by her vanity, which was the greatest obâ€" stacle her shrewd contrivances lhad ever to encounter. pamed Marthe, came in and held & ehort conversation with her. Marthe had never lived with an American lady before; she was very curious mbout "ces dames", and neglected .o opportunity for informing herself of their position, income, and doâ€" mestic relations. It was a source of great regret to her that she could not read English and that the letters Mre. Thompson received were, for that reason, of no v&lue or interest to her. She was ignorant of honour, like most of her class, though she prided herself on her honesty. _ it he thought she would not bring honour to the name of his ancestore. He could joke with great urbanity rabout being desconded from the robâ€" ber barons of the Middle Ages, but if the subject were approached sorkâ€" cusly, he put on, by Instinct, a dignlâ€" fied solemnity, what Marah called l« "«wollen" look, ADVERTISING In The CHRONICLR BRINGS RESULTS.

Neale (Harcourt, Brace & Co., New York). There is uo period in English hisâ€" tory that commands nearly so much attention asg that of Henry the 8th., Mary and Elizabeth; it is then that Englind bhad the beginning of her present . greatness. . Elizabeth is given credit for bringing at least a semblance of order into England | when the whole of Europe was torn by reilgious and other wars, internal strife, international jealousies and llnmguee. Much has been written of Elizabeth that is conflicting, but Prof. Neale has sifted it all, and pre sents Elizabeth as she really was. Surrounded by treachery and in: trigue. Elizabeth was no exception | In meeting deceit with deceit, but whe was finst of all a queen, and ruled her country well and wisely, overâ€" coming her enemles and removing other clatmants to the throne when forced to. The book is delightfully interspersed with pictures of her love affairs, and conditions of the day, giving a clear history of the entire period. Elizaboth was a re: markable woman, and this is a reâ€" markable bookâ€"one of the most {mâ€" portant of the year. l The service department was in charge of the B.L.C.E. on Monday evening with J. G.

Y. Crowell Co., New York). Muslc lovers will be delighted to know that at last there is a complete biography of the best beloved Ameriâ€" can kong writer. Everybody sings "Old Folks at Home," "Swanee River", "Old Black Joe‘, and many other favorites that have universal appeal. What Victor Herbert did to light opera,â€"Stephen Foster did to folk songs, and it is only fitting that he be recognized by various memoâ€" rials, such as are erected in Pittsâ€" burgh, Indianapolis and other cenâ€" tres. The ‘book is a rich store of Fosterana, from his early days to his tragle ending in a New York hospital. Foster really did get some personal benefit from the sale of his immortal songs, but died virtually a pauper. Foster went through turbuâ€" lant times, and in reading of his life, one gets intimate glimpses of the musical doings of the period, and many famous characters are met. .A noteworthy book that should ‘have a wide appeal. Mre. Amos Martin and Mre. Jacob Clemmer of Waterloo visited with Mrs. Levi Lichty, last week. "The Robber Barons" by Mathew Josephson. This is one of the imâ€" portant spring offerings by Harcourt, Brace & Co., New York, and treats of something that is of vital interest to every American. After the Civil War, America was ®rn and bleodâ€" ing; everywhere was confusion, disâ€" senslon and poverty. Unlimited reâ€" sources were here, and waiting to be An interesting Program.

While these enterpriges brought untold millions into the hands of a few, and unscrupulous meâ€" thods nsually characterized their dealings, they were the ones that brought America from an obsoure country to the very top in a short space of forty years. Mr. Josephson glves Intimate personal pictures of these "robber kings" and clears up much that has been obscure. To real‘y understand American history, it is essential to know the story of these mon and their affains, and Mr. Josephson‘s book leaves nothing unâ€" said. * & "I had & severe attack of rheuâ€" matlem in both kpees.
