CHAPTER LIV. (Concluded).

A3 Kildee listened she found herself sobbing. Life was harder to her now. Her home-life was overshadowed. Max had failed in the business speculations he had undertaken. The money lost had been hers. It had come to her from her father's estate. It was all swept away. She did not reproach him by a look—instead she comforted him with loving, encouraging words. But he was soured with disappoint ment. These sweet weak natures easily sour when thihgß go wrong. Max had tasted the novel intoxicating cup of prosperity, the gratification of being thought a man of means, the sensuous delight of surrounding himself with petty luxuries and being liked and caressed in society. He keenly re sented the loss of these. That they were lost through his own lack of judgment made him only more bitter. He returned to his studio, but he had poor success. His old, genial, bright manner was gone. He did nob attract. Ho had never excelled as a painter, and now his hand seemed to have lost its cunning. He had failed to follow Art with loving faithfulness, and now she took her revenge. It became a struggle with them to live. Their pretty house was given up, their furniture .sold, and the money spent in pay ing board. Max would not apply to Kildee's relatives, for they had lent him money before and he had U3ed it to buoy the sinking enterprise he had invested in. He determined to go to his aunt in North Minnesota. She was well off and she liked him. She had helped him more than once be fore his marriage. He had nob the sturdy in dependence that scorns assistance. He was quite willing to be helped. He went, taking Kildco with him, and the little child thab had been born to them during the past year. Rut to his disgust he found his aunt on the point of marrying au-ain, and wholly taken up with her pros pective husband and his children. After a short stay they set oub to return to New York. They were on their way there this December day. Such a drear, wild clay ! The level, tree less stretch of land was one vast expanse of enow : the wind blew icily, the sky lowered in masses of leaden clouds. There was every sign of a fresh snowstorm. In a little while it began. Ib increased Steadily in violence ; the air was filled with whirling, blinding flakes ; the track was buried more and more deeply under the white drift; the engine panted more labori ously as ib ploughed through the deepening mass, the train moved more slowly, and the impatience and anxiety of the passengers momenbarily increased. Nio-hb approached, and still the snow storm continued. At length it became evident that the train could not proceed. • In vain the engine laboured, struggled, groaned like some living giant. In vain <joal was piled under the boiler and steam raised till the safety-valves gave warn ing. The train refused to move. It was snowed up. The night came down, and with its coming the snow ceased to fall, and the wind took up the cruel story. A bitber wind. The pibiless soul of bhe polar regions was in ibs breabh. The bhermometer fell rapidly ; bhe cold increased every moment. The passengers began to complain that the car was uncomfortable. "Put more coal in bhe stove," was the cry, and the request was nob prompbly obeyed. Presenbly a fearful rumour began to circulate ; there was but little coal left upon the train. It had been used too lavishly in trying to force the engine through the snow. Before midnight the coal had entirely given out. The suffering began to be great. The crying of children, the querulous excla mations of women, and the muttered ejacu lations of men were heard. The cold be came intense. . . . "Burn the seats!" cried one, and the words were taken up. The appeal was made to the conductor ; he ordered an axe to be brought, and soon half a dozen seats werO broken and split to pieces and the fragments crammed into the stove. As they burned, more seats were made into fuel to feed the fire and impart a warmth to' the half-frozen occupants of the car. The seats were all destroyed, the passengers crowded around the stove, pushing each other in their efforts to geb near it, the selfish element coming out, as it dees alwavsina bitno of peril. Kikl ee clasped her child to her bosom and stood silent and suffering. She had taken off her warm shawl to wrap about the little one. She looked anxiously at Max. His health was delicate. Disappoinbmeht and anxiety had worn upon him. She felt glad thab his over coat was thick and new. She had knotted her fur boa around his neck to protect his throat. He wanbed to take the child, bub she would not let him. He seemed to feel the cold intensely. He was blue and tremblino-. His sufferings made him selfish, almost bo indifference. He hardly noticed that some rough men were crowding her hack from the stove. He made a feeble re monstrance, a weak attempt 'to oppose the elbows and shoulders thab pushed her and her child as well as himself away from the life-saving heat: then he gave up and let the half-drunken roughs have their will. The door of the car opened and .shut quickly.- A man had entered. One glance at his strongs calm face made Kildee's fast congealing blood stir with a quickened motion; it was Carleon, journeying back eastward", through some impulse too strong to resist. His face inspired hope. ".Ho iriay help us," was Kildee's dreamy thought, •* or at least, he will take Care of my Child.,

She sab- where she had sunk upon bhe floor, and Max sab helpless by her. Carleon saw bhem. He made his way to her side. He lifted her quickly to her feet. He spoke to her almost sharply; he felb she musb be roused.

"Give me the child and drink this," he said. He put the baby on his arm and put the flask containing bhe brandy bo Kildee's lips. "Drink," he said, and she obeyed him. But her faculties were fast becoming para lysed. He handed the flask to Max, and with a few words of stern command, a vigorous sweeping of his arms, he cleared a way through the men to the stove, which still radiated a little heat. He wore a long cloak lined throughout with the grey fur of the Rocky Mountain fox. He took ib off, and putting the baby in her arms, wrapped both in the warm cloak, paying no heed to her remonstrances.

" 1 am used to the cold," he said cheerily. " I have weathered many a norther on the plains. Never mind me." He made a place for Max beside Kildee, where she sab near the stove. Then ho stood by them with arms folded over his chest, and talked cheerfully, glanced from topic bo topic, try ing to keep them awake and animated. The brandy had made Max rally a little, but he still seemed to sutler greatly. The long night hours went by. The fuel was exhausted—the stove cold long before help arrived; it camo at last. As the morning dawned clear and bright over bhe waste of snow, bhe sbrong engine with a supply of coal, which had been telegraphed for, came to their assistance. Ib arrived too late for some. Several were frost bitten—others had incipient inflammation of the lungs. Among these last was Max. He was abbacked wibh pneumonia. He was baken to the next sbabion, a railroad village, pub bo bed in bhe besb room of the little hotel, and a physician summoned. For clays he lay near unto death, nursed by Kildee wibh devoted tenderness and attended by a skilful physician from Indianapolis, whom Carleon had summoned by telegraph. " Stay with him. You shall not lose by giving him all your attention," Carleon said to the doctor, who was his friend. The attentive nursing, the skilful treat ment, seemed about to achieve a victory. Max grew better; then was wilfully im prudent, relapsed, and was soon past hope. Just as the stars came out in the pale sky of the Christmas eve, while the sunset after-glow yet flushed the waste of snow, the life of Max Rubin went oub, his lasb look resting on the face of bhe wife he loved. They carried him back bo bhe home of his early years and laid him beside his mother —his fabher slepb by bhe arrowy Rhone in' " Vaterland." Carleon attended to everything. He left Kildee alone with her grief. The child would be her best comforter. After the funeral he was surprised to hear of Kildce's intention to go to New York. He had thought she would go to her sister in the Soutfi. Had he known the indebtedness to HeathclifF which poor unbusinesslike Max had incurred, he would have understood Kildee's reluctance to accept the warm invibabion bhab she should come to them ab once. , , She wenb to New York to the house in which she and Max had boarded before that ill-starred journey to the Pacific. Carleon parted from her at the wharf directly ho had seen her ashore and procured a carriage for her. She gave him nor hand from tho carriage window and thanked him as she had done before. " I will communicate with you on a busi ness matter as soon—as soon as I can," sho

said. Her manner seemed to him reserved, even cold. " She is remembering my old sins," he thought sadly, as he turned away. He did not know the intricacies of woman's nature. He did not understand that she was blaming herself remorsefully for not having loved Max more devotedly. She had not faTled once in her outward duties ; bub in her heart she was conscious that sho had not been able to accord him that perfect love, that proud, trustful looking-up to which was her ideal of wifely duty. Carleon saw her no moro to speak to for two weeks. He hesitabed to intrude upon her grief while it was new, but he was troubled about her future. Ho had gathered from Max, during his interval of improvement, that he was without means. Every day he walked or rode by the house that held her and her child, but he rarely had a glimpse of her. One day he saw her come oub closely veiled and drive to a jeweller's shop. When she went into the shop she had a package in her hand ; whon she came out she no longer had it. Carleon waited until she had driven away, and then went into tho shop. The jeweller and his clerk were examining a set of beautiful pearls—just boughb, they told him. He aßked permission to look at them. Inside, on the gold setting of each piece he saw tho engraved initials of Kildee s maiden name. It was her father's gift to her on the even ing of his inauguration ball. She had needed money badly, Carleon knew, or sho would not have parted with it. He bought the jewels $ he would find a way to restore them to her some time. Leaving the box at the jeweller's, he went to her boarding-house and asked to see her. She came in ab once. " I am glad you came," she said as she sat near him. " I wanted to see you to ask if you would kindly make oub a stabemenb of "the expenses—for everything. I wanted to pay it. (So it was to geb money to defray the ex penses of her husband's illness and burial that she had sold her pearls.) " I will send you the bills," Carleon said, "with the receipts attached." "Receipts?" .' "Yes, everything has been paid. I had money in my possession belonging to your husband. I bought some pictures from him which he had hung in a gallery here. The money they, brought paid for every thing With a little balance over—some three hundred dollars, which I have taken the liberty to put in the bank bo your ad counb."

"Oh! Mr Carleon, the pictures were not worth so much—not nearly so much. I cannot—" .• - ,

"It was a business transaction," said Carleon conclusively. " Dr. Simms was witness to it.. I have the order for the pictures signed by your husband. Now, will yon not bell me your plans ? I have no righb bo ask, bub—" "YeSj you have the right—the right of my friend—my good friend. I can never forget your kindness to him and me. lam going to stayhere and try to earn a living by writing; oh, not poetry. I know writing poetry would not bring me bread. I am going to do newspaper work for the 'Times.' Mr Went Worth is an old friend. I have written for Kirn before, things that pleased him, and lie will try me now on a little salary—enough to support me." " Are you Bure yOu are strong enough for it?" . " Oh, yes ; I ani never ill. It will do me good." He lookeddoubtingly at her little paleface wOrn by nursing and anxiety. He was afraid she would see in his eyes the sbrong yearning that came over him. He walked to the other end of the room, then came back bo where she sat.

"I am going away/ he said; "goipg back to the Pacific coast. If at any time I can render you the service of a friend, will you let me know ? I beg you to believe how gladly I would render such a service."

" I do believe ib," she answered.

He took her hand in his, looked with grave tenderness into her eyes, and said : "God keep you, dear child ; good-bye." it was nearly a year before she saw him again. It was a busy year tb her. The work was new to her; she tried hard to make it wholly satisfactory. And in the uitervftia of her newapaper labours she

began to write a book. The work and the care of her child and some anxious thought wore upon her. Her tace lost a little of its perfect oval; her dark, sweet eyes had a weary look. Christmas-eve, as the twilight fell, she was seated in her tiny sitting-room, beside the glowing grate. She had been writing, but had laid down her pen to look at a pretty child asleep on the deep, warm-coloured rug before the fire—a flaxen-haired doll in one arm, the other around the neck of the pretty, shaggy white dog thab was also coiled up and cdmforbnMy napping. "Come in," Kildee said as a rap came upon bhe door. She thoughb ib was bhe servant wibh her tea. She started up when she saw the oroad-shouldered figure and strong brown-bearded face. She came to meet him, with flushed cheek and out stretched hands. He held her hand and looked down at her face. "The work has nob been good for you after all," he said. _ " Do nob decry your own prescription, she answered smiling. " Onco you said to me : ' You need work,' and I have found it a tonic and a panacea." "May I change the prescription? he asked, still holding her hand and looking into her eyes. " I said then, ' you need work ;' may I say now, ' you need love's tender care?' May I give them to you Kildee ? My own, my one love, I need you, more than I can tell.' Her answer satisfied his heart.
