H In asserting that she is going to be the wife 01 Lord Killeen she has stated more than the facts of the case warrant as it stands. The truth is that Lord Killeen has not asked her to be his wife, has never hinted at such being his ambition. But he has flattered her, and flirted with her, and Mrs. O’Leary relies on her own skill in making flattery and flirtation lead to an offer of marriage. She means to be his wife in fact, therefore her conscience sessile her for having been rather prema- ture in announcing to Captain Mackiver that she is to be Lagy Killeen. “ Let us tuinv the idle gossip into sober: truth. Shall we ?” he says; and Mrs. hO"Leary rises and holds out her hand to 1m. " She is expecting Lord Killeen to call this afternoon, and she works herself up to that pitch of agitation when expectancy be- comes intolerable and a tragic climax would be welcome in place of suspense. Nevertheless, when she hears the first ring, and then his footstep in the hall, she feels acreepy sensation crawling over her, and knows that she is turning to what Eastern country people call “ goose-flesh.” “ Why can I not ‘2" she says. deliberately. “ Your interests are mine, your cause is dear to me as it is to you ; why, if I can be of use there, should I stay _here in idleness ?” “ But yofi’re a. brick 'of 9. woman to say that.” he replies, admiringly; and she gathers from hm tone that the hour has come. “Why should I notggo with you to encourage and stimulate you, if I can do these things? Who am I that I should hesitate to sacrifice myself? Besides, we must submit to being talked about; the cruel world will not credit us with being friends.” “The cruel world will find itself very much mistaken if it links our names together in any way that is distressing to you,” he says, hotly ; and she subdues her- self and laughs sadly,a.nd tells him that she “does not mind, but that only this afternoon Captain Maokiver spoke with her 9! her engagement _to Lord Killeen.” “ If he has met that man Mackiver and heard that he is to marry me from him. the cause is up 1" she says, in the few moments that elapsed before Lord Killean “unconscious of her disquiet and its cause â€"oo_mes buoygntly into the room.

A large well-drawered and ordered writing-table stands in a convenient light. Beautiful cabinets, filled with even more beautiful china and antique glass, are about the room.

She is not in the drawing-room when he goes in, and she delays making her appear- ance sufficiently long for him to take note of the aspect of the room, and to find in it indications of her current interests and employment. __ Books abound, on shelves and in sildes, and a. long low table is littered with a num- ber of newspapers and magazines.

The sound of the opening'door afouses him from a. reverie into which he has nearly fallen over a photograph of his wife The new Lady Killeen writes pare- gmphs to the effect that Lord and Lady Killeen are at the Grosvenor Hotel for a. week or ten days previous to their return to Ireland, and despstches them to several London society papers. She also writes a. picturesque description of herself, and for- wards it to her quondum friend, Mrs. St. John, with a. request that the influential and gifted lady will get it inserted as from herself in a widely read journal. Having thus flung down the gauntlet, she nerves herself to the task of waiting calmly to see whether gossip will pick it_up or not, He then goes on to thinkâ€"equally pleas- antlyâ€"oi the sensation she will cause in society when he has established her in a house that has good entertaining possibili- ties about it. She must moderate the expression of her views, of course; in feet, from this time she must leave all public pro- clamation of opinion to him, and merely gracefully and quietly indicate the lines on which influential men ought to run. But she must do her diplomacy very retirineg henceforth, for she is a. woman of rank now, and he has no fancy to seeing the mother of the probable future Lord Killeen men- tioned as a. seditious leader. Altogether his thoughts have strayed far away from the present circumstances and his new wife by the time he teaches Mrs. St. John’s door. There is a large assemblage to hear and encourage Lord Killeen in Hyde Park, and as he advocates order and discretion, and speaks with good temper and good sense, the meeting passes off peaceably. After it he goes to his olub, where his wife is to pick him up at a. later hour. Awaiting him he finds a. note from Mrs. St. John, written apparently under the influence of great agitation and excitement. “ Let nothing prevent your coming to see me immediately on receipt of this; it is of the utmost importance to yourself that: I see yqu without; delay." Meanwhile there has been one of those social convulsions in the Killeen circle which resemble an eruption from avol- cam in theig Adevastating power. As Lord Killeen sets off from his club on that visit to Mrs. St. John to which the fair and friendly little lady who deals so remu- nerstlvely in works of fiction has sum- moned him, he thinks rather pleasantly of the sensation his beautiful wife will create. presently when she drives up to fetch him. 85 he leaves a. line' for her ladyship tell- ing her where he has gone, and bidding her follow him. There is a. feeling that almost amounts to dismay in the Annealey’s household one morning when Dartagh announces that business calls her back to London peremp- town There is, as Dolly suspects. another motive than the monetary one at the bot- tom of this hasty move of Miss Thynne’e. It has occurred to her that she can negoti- ate with the Maekiver family, and make fair and happy terms for Dolly through the instrumentality of her ten thousand pognde. Feeling sure of a kind reception. she drives straight to the Thorne’a on her arri- val in town, and is puzzled to find herself greeted with a torrent; of good wishes and reproacheeâ€"eimultapeously uttered._ So she goes away one morning suddenly, without giving Dolly the opportunity of appraising Captain Mookiver of her depart- ure; and when she is gone Ronald comes to the place more frequently than ever to talk about her to Dolly, which is only fair, as will be seen, when it becomes known how she (Darragh) is occupied in talking about them just now.“ She iaa. woman of property now, and they have no right to dispute the fact. Still, Dolly suspects that some other than a. monetary consideration is at the bottom of the hasty move. ” I shall miss you more than I can say. In spite of all the unhappiness that has fallen upon you here, you have been the one gleam of brightness in our life of the last few weeks,” Dolly says, after pleading in vain that Darragh will prolong her visit. “ And you are more than good to say it," Darragh replies ; “ but even if I could do the great good of making things even tem- porarily pleasanter for you by staying here a. little longer, I ought: to go now; it's a. more imperative need calls me away~believe me that it is l" “And you’re going, leaving Ronald still hanging between hope and despairâ€"still in uncngafinby. £oor Ronalgi I" “He is not in uncertainty, and he has given up the foohsh hope that I shall ever be his wife. Dolly, be sensible. If I had been weak enough to realize that hope, Ronald and I would both have been very miserable, and in time, as remorse had its own way more and more with us, we should have come to respect each other less. It’s best for me as it is.” Dolly shakes her head. “ It’s hard that he een’t be made happy,” she says, gravely. then she asks-â€" " Won’t you tell me why you’re going to leave us, Darmgh? I know I shall have it suggested to me by Marian them you’re going back to win Lord Portbank again; but I won’t believe that.” The girlhas acted sorely against her own inclination and with greatjudgment i‘n avoid- ing a. parting interv1ew with Ronald. She knows very well that if he openly presses his suit upon her with Dolly‘s knowledge that Dolly will aid and abet him; will, indeed, put Darragh’s firm rejection of him in such a. light that it would look like cruel and unreasonable obstinaey. Besides their united efforts to subdue her to Ronald’s wishes will be hard to resist, and Derregh has made up her mind to resist to the end. “ I’m going to discharge a debt,” Darragh says, lightly. “ When I’ve done that, and had it receipted in the way I want, I’ll tell you what my plans are.” " Shall you settle in Ireland ‘2" “ I shsll go whereâ€"I’m ordered.” “ But you’re your own mistress now, dear Darragh, and how I love your cousin's memory for having made you so ! The ten thousand pounds is yours to do what you please with, and you will have a home of your own : will it be in Ireland?” Darragh smiles happily. ” Yes, the ten thousand is absolutely my own, to do what I like with, and I mean to do well with it. Poor dear Killeen dld many a good and generous thing, but never a better and more generous one than this ot_lea.ving me this money.” A THANKLEBS OFFICE . CHAI’TER XXXI. A Remarkable 01d Couple. George Bancroft, the historian, is now 83 years old, and would not be surprised to see at least a. score more. He has not so much flesh on his bones as he had ten years ago. but what he has is all good solid muscle of the same material as the famed shey of the good old deacon which dropped to pieces all at once. His wife, perhaps the most cultured woman in Washington, was 80 years old the latter part of last month, and she looks much the healthier of the two. Her eyes are bright and her cheeks full and rosy.

Uncer- tainty, nervous excitement, and a sensitive shrinking from some task thsthzâ€"me been forced upon her are all clearly expressed in her Eating and her face. ” She’s such a. bright, high-spirited, open- netured creature,” he says to himself; “it’s out of the bounds of possibility that she could be treacherous in her dealings with either man or womanâ€"that’s why women mistake her and dislike her. Such women, at least, as this one I’ve just left. Derregh wouldn’t. Darregh would respond to the genuine ring of the metal, and there’s genuine ring about my lady, I’m sure.” “ What the deuce does it all mean?!" Lord Killeen asks himself. Then she comes forward with a. gait and air in which hesitation and determination are strangely blended, and speaksâ€"_ “ I am more to be pitied than any woman in London at this moment, for I have to tell you cruel things, and to give you pain will be agony to me," she falters; then adds brokenly, “ mine is a thankless oifice.” He goes home with a. heart full of loyalty to his wife. and a. fixed resolve to forget altogether everything that Mrs. St. John has said and implied against her. “She is a siren, if you listen to her voice you will be deaf to the tones of law and justice soon,” she says, passionately, and with an air of intense conviction that she well known how to expreeg; but Lord Killeen is, it not beyond hearing the words, at any rate beyond the necessity of reply- ing" to them. “ NOBLY PLANNED." “ Don’t fill it, than,” Lord Killsen cries, impulsively, striving to ward off a. blow which he intuitively feels is designed to hurt his wife. But, with a. melodramati- cally melancholy wave of her hand, Mrs. St. John persists in what she terms be: painful office: “She is an adept in deceit, indeed, if she has made you believe that she has dealt fairly by me,” Mrs. St. John says, trema- loue with indignation. “ It was I who verified the statement of O’Lenry’e death, which she doubted when it reached her ; it was I who gave her confirmation strong of the fact that she might dare to use her freedom, believing (because she told me so) that she was going to make a. very different use of it.

She turns her head away and covers her eyes with her hand. A suppressed storm of sobs gently flutters her bosom, but he is quick to see that a smile which she has for- gotten to suppress is creeping round the comers of her, mouth. “ You have not been requited unworthin by Lady Killeen.” he says, making stanch declaration of his perfect and unshaken faith in the social integrity and upright dealing of the wqman who is his wife. “ Is this qussumed? Are you rehearsing a. scene for private theatricals, or have you anything to my to me in reality, Mrs. St. John ‘3” he says, eternly. “ She is going to stab! And I thought her such an amiable, soft, buttermilk sort of acresture," he tells himself, and she draws a. deep sigh, and, composing her face to an expression of gravity which hsrdly sits naturally on its plump surface, says in a low, distinct monotoneâ€"â€" Her rage is rapidly gaining the mastery over her, and causing her to regret that she is under orders to abstain from saying any- thine1 derogatory of his wife. “It has been reported, and the report has been repeated to me, that you are about to marry Mrs. O‘Learv ; in fact one ridiculous person, always ready to propo- gate gossip, came and told me that you were already married. Of course, I nipped this fatal rumor in the budâ€"â€"â€"” “ Nor do I wish to learn,” he interrupts quietly. ” Lady Killeen is innocent, I am sure, of having done either the one or the other.” " I admitted her to my ?house; I intro- duced her to my friends when she was 9. comparatively iriendleas woman ; Iwas the cause of her knowing you in the first place ; and how have I beqn reqnibed 7’: “You have tied my tongue,” she says, bitterly; “you have given me to under- stand that you will not listen, without considering yourself insulted, to anything that the voice of friendship may say about your wife. Ah! you little know what pro- vocation I have had; you little know how I have been stung and deceived in return for my tender trust and confidence, you little know how I have been tradueed and malignedâ€"” “ This ‘ fatal rumor,’ as you poliuely call it, is perfectly true. I am married,” he says, with that air of being fossilized which aubdues even strong men when they are sensitive and 0pm} to impressions. “Bus not to Mrs. O’Lsary? Tell me, it is not to Mrs. O’Leary ?” she says. clamping her hands and coming closer to him in her fervor. “Mrs. O‘Leary is now ‘Lady Killeen,’ and I am not inclined to hear her oom- mea_tet_1 upon in any _w&y by _a.ny 9:19.". “ It is easy enough to take that stand, but have you the strength to keep it, my poor friend ‘2” she asks, witha, pitying, pathetic quiver in her, voice thatisinex- preb'gihly irritating to Lord Killeen. “ I have not; only lthe strength to keep it, I have the common manliness to declare it and mamtain it at once ; but to you. Mrs. St. John, this cannot be necessaryâ€"you and Lady Kllleen are friends.” " With your disappointment I have not]!- ing to do; with my wife‘s happiness every- thing. She is waiting for me now.

Mrs. St. John says in real dismay, " for you would listen to what she would say against meâ€"and in her anger she would say dreadful things- whereas you will not listen to what, merely in self-defepgel I mighqgay about her.” “ In self-defence! Nonsense! I have always heard my wife speak of you in friendly terms: it is from you that the declaration of war has come.” Mrs. St. John bites her lips and turns rabbit pails. CHAPTER XXXII. (To be continued.) “ I passed my hand over his face and was surprised to find that it was as cold and clammy as it was on our bridal night in Pittsburg. The extremity of fear must have given me courage, for I took Anson’s head in my arms and began shrieking in his car. All this, you must recollect, occurred inside of three minutes, but to me it seemed like ages. The man was still standing in front of the bureau, and did not appear to notice the disturbance in the least. At last my nerves gave way, and I fell back half fainting. The next thing I remember was similar to my terrible ex- perience at home. Anson was bathing my face and chafing my hands. I told him what had happened and he said I had been dreaming, but he did not seem as positive as before. Of course I was in a state of nervous prostration all day, and when we went to bed I made Anson promise me that he would make an effort to keep awake after mid- night. He did so, and I was not disturbed by the horrible nightmareâ€"as I thought it â€"-â€"of the other nights. On the third night of our stay in Philadelphia the mystery was solved, or at least there was an unsatis- factory explanation of it. My husband and i I had spent the evening at a theatre, and after coming home sat up and talked until nearly 1 o’clock. Then we retired, and I, with some misgivings, buried my head under the bedclcthes. Idon’t know how long I slept, but, as before, I was aroused by some mysterious influence, and knew the moment I opened my eyes that I was to go through another terrible ordeal. Whether the previous experience had ren- dered me brave or not, I don’t know, but, at any rate, when I looked up, I was expecting to see the same strange intruder. And I did. He was standing in front of the glass shaving himself With the utmost uncon- cern. I never knew how I screwed up suf- ; fioient courage, but, without saying a word, I jumped out of bed, and enveloping myself in the counterpane that I snatched up, I approached the man at the bureau. He never budged an inch. I turned up the gasand took a step nearer. The rays of gas fell about the face of the figure and showed the reflection of his face in the mirror. I looked quickly, and great heavens! the blood nearly froze in my veins when I saw the face of Anson Clements, my husband, staring at me. I turned around. My husband still lay in bed. The gas fell over his face, and showed A Bride Continuullyl’ursued by Her Hus- band’s “ Double.” A remarkably curious divorce suit will be tried in this city before an examiner in the early part of December. The parties to the suit have been married four months, and strangely enough are more devoted to each other now than on the wedding day. Margaret Leeds, 9. pretty little brunette, and a native of the city of Pitts- burg. became Mrs. Anson F. Clements on the 8th of last July. Her husband is a carriage upholsterer. aged 26, and has always been an industrious, sober man. The marriage took place in Pittsburg, where the groom was employed at his trade. He was offered a better position in Phila- delphia, and came here after a three days’ honeymoon, leaving his bride with her mother. On the 15th of October, feel- ing assured that his position would be per- manent, the young man telegraphed for his wife, and twenty-four hours later she was installedina cozy little four~roomed house in the northwestern section of the city. She had not been in her new home a week before she had written twice to her mother that she was too utterly miserable to live; that her husband, while one of the kindest and most considerate men living, was possessed of a strange affliction her that made life a burden and certainly precluded the possibility of her living with him. The story she related toaSunday Mirror representative was a terrible one, and was amply corroborated by her tears and her pitiful expressions of regret about the compulsory parting. “The next night and the next I slept soundly without being disturbed. On the fourth day after our marriage Anson started for Philadelphia to seeureaposi- tion which would pay him a great deal better than his job in Pittsburg. He wrote to me every day, and on the 16th of last month I arrived in this city. you can see how comfortably we are fixed here. Anson was overjoyed to see me, and I needn’t say that I had the same feeling. I was tired and went to bed early. I don’t think I shall ever forget that night as long as I live. Shortly after midnight something caused me to awake, and looking up I saw the room door open, and then I saw a man enter. He went directly to the bureau, and then, as true as heaven hears me, began shaving him- self. I was too frightened to move, much less speak. There the man stood with a razor in his hand, drawing it over his face again and again, as calmly as though he was in his own home. He made no other motion, and his movements were perfectly noiseless. I must have lain perfectly quiet for a minute, and then by a mighty effort I retained the use of my voice and limbs. I seized my husband by the shoulder, and tried to awaken him. My fear must have given me double strength, for I pushed him partly out of bed. Instead of arousing himself at my call he lay like a dead man. “ I never knew how muchIloved Anson,” said she. “until after we were married, and I love him to-day better than ever. When you hear me through, I think you Will say that I’ve had the most awful experience ever known to a wife. We were married at 7 o‘clock in the evening, at my mother’s house. The guests remained until midnight, and then my husband and I went to our room. We sat talking for half an hour or more over our future prospects and how happy we would be, and then retired. About 4 o’clock in the morningI was awakened by a noise in the room. I raised myself up in bed and screamed. And what I saw was enough to make a brave man quake with fear. Standing in front of the bureau I saw the form of a man. He seemed to be shaving himself, for every now and then I could see the gleam of a razor, as he wiped it on a piece of paper. I was fully awake in an instant, and my vorce did not seem to disturb the intruder in the least. ‘ Anson l’ I shrieked, nestling up closer to my hus- band, ‘ Anson! wake up, for heaven’s sake; there is some one in the room.” As I spoke I placed my hand on my husband’s face. It was as cold as the face of the dead. I seized him by the shoulder and shook him, but he never moved. In my fright I began beating him on the chest, and screaming at the top of my voice. Then the idea took possession of me that he was dead. His arms were rigid, and I could not hear him breathe. All this time the mysterious figure continued to shave him- self in front of the looking-glass. My screams awoke the household. I heard footsteps on the stairs, and can just remember seeing my mother and youngest brother rush into the room as I fainted. When 'I came to my senses Anson was bathing my face with cold water, and my mother was stand- ing beside the 131.. I looked toward the bureau, but the form I saw standing there had disappeared. I told the, cause of my outcry, but they all laughed at me and said I had been dreaming. I could sleep no more that night, but sat up until daylight, half convinced that what I had seen was a fancy of the brain. My husband seemed annoyed about something, but as the day were on he became good-natured again, and before night came he had me in his armsx telling me how much he loved me.
