in her application for a school that

that it is thought she became tempor-
arily Insane.

nothing. 1 rose, and wished him good-
night. Somehow, In spite of the dislike
with which the man had inspired me,
there was about htm a strength and
dignity which Impressed rue more than
1 cared to own. He accompanied me to
the door. When It closed I paused for
a moment to light one at my own cigars.
Then I crossed the road. As I did so
I glanced back. The ga. was burning
In tbe room which I had just left; th.

throw himself Into the chair which I
had left vacant, stretch his arms out on
the table, and lay his head upon

wa. bewailing the loss of tbe happiness
that I had won.
I pitied htm, but I hated him. It
seemed to me that If this man set his
heart upon a woman's love, sooner or
later she must give It to him. What
would It be If now he used all his power
to rob me of Viola? I knew that till
the ring wa. on her finger I should
hav. no p**c. of mind.
The n.xt day, when I paid my visit
to Viola, I was full of the fear that I
should find Eustace Grant at her side,
perhapa exercising all his craft. In
spite of his assumption of frankness, I
believed him to be crafty, to my dis-
advantage. It wad a fear which had no
foundation. Neither on that nor the
aucceedlng days did Orant In any way
Interfere with my monopoly of Viola.
Once or twice I met him, apparently
coming from the house. On these oc-
casions he bowed gravely, but did not
stop to speak. His vl.lt. were evident-

with mine. I raged Inwardly to think
that he had the right to visit Viola at
any time; but I was too proud to re-
monstrate. It was some comfort to
hear Miss Rossiter occasionally remark
that they

by a venal arrangement of the guards,
reserved to ourselves, 1 fell to consid-
ering how I should best make known
to Viola that the name by which Bhe
had hitherto known me was assumed.
I was beginning, or fancied I was be-
ginning, to know something of my
wife's true nature; and I told myself
that the task before me was not so
easy as I had once Imagined it would
be. My confession was hurried on by
a question she herself asked me:
"Julian, what name was it you signed
in the book at church?"
I hoped that in tbe agitation nat- |
ural to a bride who signs ber maiden |
name for the last time, she had not
noticed my autograph. But she must |
have done so, although she had said
nothing about It until now.
So I made the plunge and told her i
all; told her my true name; told her
of the beautiful house In the west
which would be ours; told her of the
life, free from care and anxiety as to
th* future, which stretched before us.
Then I besought her forgiveness for
keeping her In ignorance of theso

he was dressed all right, and he got

he told her to—er—go somewher*. you
know. Well, of course, Bhe didn't Uko
that, so she went to her brother and
told him that So-and-So had told her to
—er—go somewhere. You know she
didn't know the fellow's name. He
didn't know anybody there and hs'd
been asking girls to dance without any
introduction, you know, and, you
know, that was why they didn't want
to dance with him. Girls would'nt, ot
course, you know.
"So this fellow, the girl's brother, I
mean, went up to the other fellow and
said to him, 'Did you tell my sister to
go somewhere?' and he said 'Yes. Hu
she gone?' "—Exchange.
