" Mr. Gwynne, I don't understand you." " Bah I" ho said, impatiently striding alon-; the sands; "am I a fool? Think you that I can tear off in one hour the feelings of half a life time?—think you I am a woman, like yourself—who can, at the beck and call of the nuger of fortune mould their plaint natures into any shape—be anything, for better for worse- ?" ... "What d°y°v mean?" I again inter rupted I knew what he meant well enough, but woman-like, I felt the necessity for duplicity, and knew that my only safety lay in diplomacy. I longed, yet dreaded to end the painful interview, longed with a feverish longing to bid him go for ever, yet dreaded to pronounce the fatal words. For I had known Bertie Gwynne m the years gone by, and when he had told me that he loved me, I felt thathehad filled my heart with passion, and when he went away [or sixteen long wear/ months I felt, at first, that the very earth had changed into a desert and I was alone upon its vast surface. But when little by little, I became accustomed to his absence, I began to feel the solitude iof my life less and to Qnd that the com panionship ■>£ the world was fomcthng alter all, and, lit-, le by little I grew (v I thought) to forget; and when Iliad quite forgotten and John Dallas, with his rich property and his splendid house and life, carriage am servant,, asked mo tv bo his wife, I felt somehow that I could not refuse the glit tering bait was too tempting, and I yielded. I did" ; ot love Mr. Dalloa, at first I was a little afraid of his motives, but when I got used to his society he became more and mo c to me, until he seemed to be quite a necessity and, somehow, he drew himself around ray heart, until 1 forgot every one else. A woman can love any oue if. she only.gives her mind to it, and I had given my mind to it and-well, if I were not passionately fond of my husband, I felt that he was P«JeoMy proper and necessary, and I did right in marrviii" hin?. And, aow, almost at the weddin^feast, the ghsst of Alonzo the Brave had come back to upbraid his false Irnogenc with her frailty. That was what Bertie Qwyune ment when he stood on that beach at Manly, in the twilight, and looked at me with mad bitter reproach, and I knew it, but I felt that I could not .say bo when I demand ed, " What do you mean-—•? . "What do I moan?" he said again. You ask me that!" ~ , I could not auswer him, and he said not a W°" Have you not married that man? that man. above alt otheis? Have you not cruellj spurned my heart from you—trampled nit beneath your feet—lured me on and on by your false alluring smilc-until you thought me safe within your grasp, and then hurling my poverty in my face, you cast me from you as though I was a tlimg to be moulded to the will of the world, to be kicked away lilcc fi dof' ?" I struggled for a reply, but although my hot and parched lips moved, no sound came from them. His words werecuttiDg me to the very soul, and the tears started from my

eyes. , , , He was silent for some moments, and stood gazing out at the sea.. All was so quiet and 30 still, the very waves teemed to bieat in silence on the pebbles of the beach My lioart beat audibly against my sid# as though it were striving to burst its prnn.n, and fall a quivering, shuddering mass on the sand.' dt my feet. ~ "You would say you love. You told me you would love me always, that your heart was mine and mine only. And yet you ca*t me from you like a straw. Oh, Barbara, Barbara—yon have broken my K'"Vh, Bertie, don't!"' I could only gasp the words out, brokenly, and then bo silent again. „ , . "Have you spared me?" he resumed. " Have Ino heart or soul? Was it because I was poor that you scorned me ? Verily I was unfortunate ; I went away from you— you my bright sun, the light of my life—l left you to work for gold, for your sake, and this is my return, this is what I find return in" from exile ! Scorned by a woman I loved, because of my poverty ! God ! that such things should be ! passed aside in con tempt because of my rags 1" "No." He laughed recklessly. "It is easy to say ' No,' in that melodramic fashioD, but when the dry bitter fact stares one in the face " "It is not true." . "No? why did you marry him if it is not 'rue? You cannot pretend to love that man, to stand there under the face of God's heaven and say that yon have forgotten the time when we loved each other—that you can mv you love your husband for his sake alone I" "Oh! for heaven's sake—if you love me cease," and I broke down in tears. I heard a step approaching in the darkness. I turned to him witha feeble gesture, "Oh, go, go, for pity's sake leave me, and do not stand there arid torture me !" " I go," he said, and strode away. Then he turned to me again, and in a broken voice; " Will I—may 1 see you again? only once more, for the last time—the last?" "Oh, yes, yrs to-morrow !" I hardly knew what T said at that moment, as I turned from him, but I have a dim and faint recol lection of his kissing my hand, and of the sounds of a third party approaching, when I hurried away, and scarcely conscious, hastened to my room in the hotel. Once there, I cast myself on the chair, and sat thinking of what had happened. I had never dreamed nf this. I had never thought of the old love coming back so soon, to fall like a dark shadow over my path, when all seemed tobeso.fair, and yetlhadadim forebo ding of something of the kind, a feeling that I did not do ri«ht in marrying John Dallas, when my heart wasalrendy given to another. But the step once made there was no going back, and I resolved to meet my fate with a brave face. It would not do to encourage his dangerous presence at the hearth of my husband,—it would be both unwise and sinful. I had kept a photo of Ecrtio in my desk, as n memory of the days we had pass ed together, which I thought I could do without wronging any one, but 1 now resolved to destroy this last link that bound me to the past. I made a strong resolve within myself that T would never see him more, nor keep anything that I had belonging to him. With this design I drew it from the desk and approached the lamp to destroy it. One last lingering look upon the dark and cynical features so clearly defined upon the card, and I thrust forward my hand to burn it. And yet,— I hesitated. I drew it back before the flame had touched it, looked again, and then my emotion overcame me, and I fell upon the bed and sobbed as though my heart would break. My husband came in as I Jay there, and took the card from my hand. I was scarcely conscious of his presence until his voice aroused me, and 1 looked up, through nsy tears, and saw him standing before me with a face of marble, the photograph crushed in his grasp, and a look in his eyes I shall never forget. "Barbara" he said, and his voice soundrd strange and hollow, like some one speaking afat off, "Barbara, what is this I find?" I hent my face iv my Hands and could not answer.

"I was on the beach just now, where I went to look for you. I found you there, talking to a rtian. Chance brought me close to where you stood, and I overheard part of your con voisalion. I come to you for au explanation ; I haveit—here! "andhchcldoutthe accusing card. Would to heaven I had burnt.it! ""What am I to understand by your con duct? Who is this man? A lover, doubtless; but who i* ho, and why is he here?" I was silent. I felt'like a guilty thing, and could not answer him. '•Answer me, woman!" he said fiercely. "Tell me, for I will know. Who is thisman? Who is this man you went forth to meet on the beach to-night?—stole out, like a thief, to keep an appointment?" I sank upon the floor in emotion too great for words, and he stood motionless before me; and from the lower part of the house a burst of music and gay, happy voices jarred upon the night air, and scrm'ed to mock me in my misery. "Well, bo it so, "he said at last, " I will speak again wo are calmer; but, understand me, although I will not live with you more— for I feel I cannot take you to my heart again —the world must not know our shame. I will not have the tongue of scandal loosened upon me." And he walked from the room, and the house, and went out into the night. We did not remain long at Manly. " Pressing business" took my husband to town, nnd I was to come after,'the following day. I busied myself as well as I could, packing up the luggage, and, when that was done, sat down in the front parlour to rest for a little while 'before I left for the city. 1 could not help thinking of the past three weeks, and although I did not accuse Bertie of being the direct cause of breaking my happiness, still I could not but feel that he was to blame. But then, what woman is there ever blamed a man t ccause he loved her ? He called on me twice before I left, but I would not seehim, and I left without coming in con tact with him again.

Once iii town my husband called me aside and spoke to me very quietly and gravely. Jle was not stern or arbitrary in his manner, but there was a tinge of regret, of sorrow, in lii!-> voice that cut me to the heart and made mc feel very miserable,

"I wish it to be distinctly impressed upon you that the world must not know of this affair, Whatever happens, it must bo kept a secret. We will appear together in public, but further than that i must ask you to forgive neif I decline to thrust my societyupon you,",

" But, JohD," I said, " surely you will not be so cruel; letmeatleast defend myself. I do not wish you to cast me off. I will be most dutiful to you in everything "

"I do not wish it: a woman whose heait and soul is not her husband's, whose passions and thoughts are not blended wit li his, is no wife at all, and cannot be any wife of mine." Tfcat night we dined together in cold for mality. My husband Was polite, and even courteous, but after the meal Was over he snt reading the evening papers for some time, when he arose and left the room. I heard him take his hat from the hall rack, light his cigar in the passage, and pass out. I heard the door close behind him, jindfelt an inexpressible feeling of loneliness steal over me. I saiw John no more until breakfast the next morning, after which lie left for his office, and did not return until the evening. This line of conduct was kept up, with few exceptions, when he *ent to the theatre, or had visitors, for more than six months. I was at first impelled by curiosity to learn how he spent his evenings, afjd then I grew to be interested; and at last the desire became so strong within me that it haunted mr r'"'hi and day, sleeping and waking, and wtu.il not be put aside, try how hard I might. I thought at first of employing a private de tective to make inquiries, but then I had a horror of these people, and it seemed to be so greatly beneath him to set a spy to watch his actions, that I gave up that idea before it was half formed. But I must know. I felt that I should go mad in my solitary hnme if I did not find out; and at last one night I formed a desperate resolve. I retired to my room, and, slipping on a heavy cloak with a hood and a thick veil, which I pro vided for the purpose, I waited until I heard him go out, and then, with my heart beating hard, and a great fear almost forcing me to give way, I found myself timidly standing on the steps of the doorway in the street. Then I walked on to the footpath, and looked up aud down. There were two men in con vereatiori under a lamp-post, a woman cros sing the road, but I could not see my bus baud anywhere, He must have turned down some cross street, and acting under this thought, for I was determined to cany out my project, now 1 had got this far, 1 hurried round the coiner and looked up and down.

There was some ouo a little distance otfthafc

looked to me to bu familiar, and I hurried on after him. When I got closer ! saw that

I was mistaken. I walked on again for some time without success, and then finally

gave up my search. Just as I turned home wards, I almost walked against a man wh» turned to apologise with an oath upon his lips. I looked up at his face somewhat afraid, and saw it was Bertie Gwyilne. Fearful of being recognised I crossed the street, when to my horror, I found that he followed me. I turned down another street, and he came after me again. Almostspeech less now with affright, I lan away from him, uutil panting, wearied, and exhausted, I sank on a step to take rest. Thank heavem, he was gone! I felt that I could hate him now, with his cold cynical smile and dis dainful manner, but when somehowj thought of the old days gone by, my heart softened to him and I forgave him.' The sound of a

footstep passing down the street arroused me and I got on my feet again. I was walking slowly towarrls the approaching person, when to my dismay I found it was my lms baud. Almost speechless I cowed under the shadow of a doorway to ltt him pass. His head was bent forward and his hands thrust deep in his coat pockets He passed me without noticing me as 1 stood there,

and I saw him enter a house further down the street. Carefully taking the number I made my way home, arid succeeded in en tering without being observed. The next day I called at a private enquiry office, and asked who lived in the housel had seen John enter. I was told it was a sort of club fre quented by betting-men and other looEe characters, who spent their nights in play until the morning broke. My husband was a gambler! The news came on me like a shock. Somehow I felt that I was the cause of it all, that it was I who had driven him to this iife—a life that I felt was foreign to his nature. I partly resolved to speak to him on the subject, but then, how was I to ac count for my knowledge? What right had I to interfeie with him?

Some few nights after this, long before I had made up my mind what course to pursue, I was seated in the Victoria Theatre in one of the side boxes. There was but a thin partition and a curtain between myself and the passage at the back, so that I could hear anything that was said in that part of the house as plainly as if it were spoken in my presence. I heard the sound of a footstep, which at first I took to be John's, it seemed to be familiar to me, but the next moment, when I heard the voice, a strange thrill shot through my frame, It was Berlie Gwynne. "Well? he said, speaking to a second person; "What do you want now?" " Vot does I vant ?" the other said, with a coarse laugh, speaking with a foreign Hebrew accent, "That there little bill I vants, that's all." " Curse you ! You are like all your in fernal race; Can you not wait until to morrow ?'

"No, ma tear, I can't. I come here to tell you that you can get it if you likes." " How cau I get it fool f ' " Mishter Dallas 1 He is here, don't you

" No I don't." " Veil, he takes his vife home; you meets him, and goes to Mishter Bradley's." " Well,' Shylock?-aud if we do? Are there not thieves enough there to fleece him without me ? Haven't they ilecccd him enough already ?"

" But they won't be there to-night-only Hats, they've gone. The races, you see." " Well, I don't see that it makes it any better. There, I won't go, and you eau do your worst 1" 11 Hush, ma 'tear, yon shouldn't speak so loud, you can't tell who may be in thcboxsli," and the two men walked away. What did it mean? There was evidently some plot against John, and Bertie too was at the bottom of it all. I thought deeply over it, but somehow I could not make it clearly out. Then after a time, like a Hash, came the recollection of the gambling he use, andthercmaiksof the Jew. Bertie Gwynuo was to cheat my husband of his money. The Theatre seemed to swim around me when the truth flashed across ray mind, and the revolution of feeling I experienced was terrible to bear. How it was I did not faint I do not know to this day. When John came back to me, I begged to be taken home stating that I had a sick headache. He looked at me, and I fancied I saw his face flush. "You do not look well," he said kindly, and in silence con ducted me to a cab. When we were inside the house I desired his presence in the draw ing-room for a few moments, as I had something to tell him. " Well," he said, when he came, ">Yhat

" John," I answered, in a confused way, for I did not know how to brgn, "I want to ask you a favour—l want to ask you to —not to -go out to-uicht." He looked at me in some surprise. "And why not?" he said coldly. "I do not see how my going out can affect you in any way." "Yes>, yes, it doe?. " I tugged at my glove nervously, and finally split it up the back in my ncrvousnes. "I ask you, for ray sake, to stop at home. Oh, John,if you love me— He raised his hand depreciatingly, "You forget. We arc never to speak of that again. And I pray you to cease now. " "But I will. For heaven's sake, do not go to that house to-night. They will steal '

He started violently and turned pale a? deatb. "What do you mean?" he askediua low voice. "Imean—Oh !Heaven—l heard to-night) two men —talking " "Dou'tbe foolish, Barbara, you are uot well. 1 have promised to meet a friend to night." 1 sank despairingly on my knees nthisfeer, "laskofyou, John, if ever you did love me, to have pity. I heard that man—Bertie Gwynne—and another, concoct a plot to rob you to-nightat cards, nttbathousewhere you goat night. Do not go, John, remain' here once—only ouce, and see if what I say is not true. Oli, for God's sake, do not cast me from you, for 1 love you with all my heart and soul, and I swear that if you leave me 1 willdcstroy I will and I fainted away.

When I recovered, I was in try husband's arms, his face was pressed to my check, and my heart beat against his. For a moment I opened my eves and closed them again, thinking it to be a dream, too beautiful to be rudely dispelled. But 1 soon found that it was the reality, and when I raised my eyes to his, I saw I was forgiven, that his great love had gone out to me again, and his heart was once more my own. We have been as bappy a couple US ttcro could well be found in Sydney since then, and have never had a cross word between us. And When I look back upon the old days and think of the time when that man came to steal me from my husband, I shudder with honor and cling closer still to John's brave heart.

Beitie Gwynnc left Sydney soon after, and 1 saw him no more. Hut I learned a lesson that will serve me for life, and 1 know what a man will do who will offer love to a woman already promised to anether.and I have learned what a poor weak thing a wo man's heart is, and yet how strongly it wi i cling to the support that is firmest and best able to bear with its weakness.
