KILDEE; OR, The Sphinx of the Red House.

Author of "The Bayou Bride," "The

Fugitive Bride," &c.

CHAPTER XXXIII.

Foil a moment neither spoke. Heathcliff still held her hand. She made a motion to withdraw it, and this movement aroused him. . Ho felt now that her hand-was trem bling ; he clasped it move closely, aud turned to her.

"My child," he said, "I did very wrong to allow- you to put yourself in this false position." " It was my own act," she answered » "you did not even know what I intended doing." " I guessed it, yet I did not try to hinder you. 'I -vvas so troubled for her, I caught at your little hand, so generously held out to help, and gave no thought to what might be the consequences to you." '• Do not think of it now : do not blame yourself. I know I have nob done wrong ! I ought not to mind if it seems wrong to other*. He said lie would tell M my friends. They will not believe it, and if they do—l—" Her voice trembled and broke. " Kildee," interposal Heathcliff, quickly. " Did you not understand ?' No one can think anything wrong now. I had a right to visit mv betrothed—to keep her retired if I liked and it pleased her- You will pardon my presumption in saying what I did to Hazard Hall. It was best." " I am sorry you said it, Mr HeathehH.

" Why, Kildee ?*' "It was not true. I did not feel afraid of letting the truth stand as it was. Some time they would have known I had not done

wrong." " I could not let you bear the burden of the doubt, Kildee. And I thought—l hoped—you might make it true." She looked up at him with wide eyes. Every shade of colour had gone from her face:

" did not mean—" She began and stopped. The colour came in a warm tide, melting over cheeks and brow. He 'laid his hands lightly on her shoulders.

"Kildee," he said, "did you think I tried to shield you with a sham? Did you think I took "the sacred word ' wife' on my lips in mere subterfuge ? I own that I spoke on a moment's impulse, that 1 spoke to shield you ; but I meant my words to stand true—if you would permit it." " 1 will not permit it," she cried. He saw that she was strongly agitated — that she shrank from him.

" I see I have presumed too far," lie sadly. "I am too old, too grave for you, my bright little one. But, Kildee, listen to me. Ido nob ask you to love me. I will not hold you bound to me in fact. Though you take the marriage vow, you shall be free as before. I only "wish you to bear my name as a safe-guard ; I only ask for tlie right to protect and care for you." "To bear your name—your honoured name, Mr Heathcliff! Do you forgot / have no name, no family ? lam only a waif. No, no ; I could not let you sacrifice your self to a mistaken sense of honour." ,i> "And if I.told you—looking into jtfiir true eyes as-I'do 'now—that it was no sacrifice ; that I held you in your sweet souled, unstained'maidenhood-a lit match for any man under tlie arcli of heaven ? But, child bo frank with me. Even to shield you, I will not urge you to do a thing that revolts you. It is not fair in me, perhaps, to ask you to link your fresh young life to my worn and saddened one. If you had a home, if you had parents or even a guardian, I would nob ask it. But you are alone. It is not a bright lot I offer yoxi as my wife, little one, but it is, I hope, a safe one. In my home you shall have the truest care and shelter." " And You—" she said, looking up with wistful, searching eyes. " Would it make you happier to have me there —in your home ?'

''It would, Kildee." She put her hand in bis without a word. He drew her to him and kissed her forehead with grave tenderness. When he looked up, Miss Faust stood before them. He led Kildee to her, and said : " This little girl will stay with you until I claim her for my own. She is to be my wife."

Mi~s Faust looked at him in silent amaze ment.

" Your wife !" she said at length. "Is she, then, Miss —" " She is Kildee. You have often heard me speak of her." Miss Faust darted a swift, keen look into his eyes through her pale-green glasses. But she could not read their clouded depths. Then her glance searched Kildee's face. She noted its changing colour, tlie unsteadi ness of the lips, the quiver of tlie eyelids. She went up to tlie girl and put an arm round her slim waist.

"I will take what care I can of her for your sake, and for hers. I will never for get what she has done to-night. She comes to a gloomy house, but she knows its wretched secret; and she does not shrink from me," she said softly, for Kildee's head lay against her bosom. ' Heathcliff touched the little head caress ingly. "She is weary," he said. "It is late. Take her with you, dear, and see that she goes to bed at once. I will sit here awhile. Good night, little friend ; sleep sweetly, and have no bad dreams." But it was long before Kildee slept. Miss Faust had taken her, not to the fine pearl and-gold chamber, but to a less pretentious bedroom with quaintly-carved foreign furni ture. She lay wakeful, thinking of the strange changes in her life —of this last strangest change of all. She could not make it real. It seemed a dream to her—-all the occurrences of this night. The coming in disguise to the mysterious Red House, the meeting with its ijnforfcunate mistress, the rflle she, Kildee, had assumed with such outward self-assurance and such a fluttering heart, the encounter with Hazard and his cruel taunt; more than all it seemed dream like to recall the words Mayor Heathcliff had spoken. Had he really called her ljia wife that would be? Had his lips really pressed her forehead? Had he said he loved her - No, he had not said that—not once. His manner to her had been kind, tender even, but it was tenderness that had in it no passion nor rapture. Yet, had he ROt said her presence in hfchotfte would make him happier? That should beenough. It was enough. It was more than she had ever dreamed she should hear. "I could not expect a noble, wise man like him to love Sic only as be does. I will be blessed eyond my deserving if I can make him happier," murmured Kildee ; and she pre sently slept with her arm thrown above her head, its round whiteness half buried in her short, dark curls. Miss Faust found her so when she stole into the room a little later with her soft, gliding -step. She stopped by the bed, shading the dim lamp with her hand, and looked for more than a minute at the sleep in "lho is liittle more than a child," she said f" but there is strength as well as aweetn'en'ln her face. Yet he dpss not love her. He i$ brpken-h#ftrfcsd for m}m of the woman he still loves,'

She had just said good-night to HeathoLiff and had looked after his retreating form as he .passed down the tree-shadowed walk. She' had gone out to him where he sat in the dark, on the narrow iron balcony that jntted out from one of the windows of the boudoir. As she stole, unperceived to his side, she heard him sigh heavily. She came up to him and pub her hand on his shoulder.

" What is this you have done, Ira ? You were to marry Miss Montcalm. It was to be in less than a week ; and now you say ib is to be this girl. Has Honor Montcalm taken back her promise ?"

"Do not ask me. Don't question me about it. It does not matter."

"It does matter. Do I not see that you aro miserable ? And only last night you were so happy. There has come.a terrible change, and I feel that it is through me, miserable being that I am, horn always to cast a shadow. Havr. J not been the cause ? Ak, you will not speak. I know without your answer. It is because of me that Miss Montcalm has broken her pro mise ; it is bcoause of me that you are going to marry this girl you do not love. You will marry her as compensation for what she did to-night, or because it was compromising her. At the bottom of all there is the same cause—my own blighting and blighted self. Ira, why should I continue to hang like a poisonous fungus upon your life? Let me end it let this miserable mummery cease. I have no right to jeopardise your safety, to de stroy your happiness, your hurd-earned good name. 1 will quit this house to morrow night. I care not what becomes of me afterward. It has been a criminal weakness and cowardice that has made me stay here just to lean on you." " It has been my advice ; it has been for the be3t. It will continue to be for the best. Kildee has saved us. Through her stratagem suspicion hau been disarmed. Her presence here accounts for what has been seen and heard; it will account for what may be seen here in the future, though we must be more cautious. Do not be morbid, my darling. After a time it will be safe to leave this place with all the miserable memories it has for ypu and for me. We will go to a foreign land — you, Kildee, and I—and fortret the dark trials we have passed through here." "But the sacrifices you make for me —oh, Ira, they—" "They are made willingly. What we do for love's uake, though ib ba bitter, has a sweetness of its own. Come, it is time I had left you—time you were in bed. Do nob grieve over the in evitable. I have always gloried in your strength of soul, your philosophic resigna tion to tlie must be. Dp nob let mo find you weak at this late hour." '• I am weak. lam so tired of the struggle. Forgive me." She threw herself on his breast, sobbing stormily. Nob for long. She soon con trolled her emotion. She lifted herself from his arm?.

" 1 will nob give way again," she said, " forgive roe. <-'ome ; I will go with you to the door and give you the duplicate key to tlie gate. You forgot and left it last night."

ST JACOBS OIL FOE lihcssmatibui. RHEUMATIC: SUFFERING FOR MANY YEARS—CUBED AT SLKTY-EIUHT. " London, E.C. " Having suffered for many years past from severe rheumatic mine in my knees and feet. I was induced by a friend to try St Jacoha Oil. Hav ing tried many remedies without relief, I must confess 1 \v«e some * what slo* in tryinp your ' great lomcdy.' Hovrovor, about a month ago I procured a bottle and applied the oil to the parts affected. I must say the result has astonished me. I am sixty-eight years of age, and, although I havo used it only a few times, the pains have quite left me, and I am as strong and active on my feet at the present time as a young man of twenty, You cart make what u*e you like of this letter, for I feel that I should not be doing my duty to my fellow men if I did not do my best to let them know where ijuch a valuable remedy may be obtained. •• Chahlks Davis, Of jMossrs Davis and Co., General Carriers and Forwardors." RHEUMATIC SWELLING-CURED AT 60. "For over three years, Mr John Tetlow, No. 34, Hartley-street, Old ham, was hardly able to walk from rheumatism. His joints were badly swollen, and he wajj bentwjthufiony. One bottle of St. Jacobs Oil effected a marvellous change. He is not only now free from puin, but, al though over sixty years old, can walk as well as* ever. Facts like the above tell their own etory. DEPLORABLE CONDITION—BACK AND HIPS. " I§, Beacon-lane, Evcrton, "Liverpool, England, " Here I am as free from rheumatic pains as any man in England, while for years, until two weeks ago, I had been almost a constant sufferer from the most severe rheumatic pains in my back and hips. None of the dif ferent remedies which I applied seemed to reach the soot. While I was in this most deplorable condi tion, a friend gave me a bottle of your St. Jacobs Oil and urged me to jose no time, but to apply it directly, saying that he ' knew of a case even worse than my own, which had been cured by-the timely use of the Oil.' I began at once to rub-the afflicted part?, Judge pf my surprise after suffering all these years to feel the pains gradually but surely going away. By the time one bottle waa used up 1 was a well man. " Josefij Johns." PRONOUNCED INCURABLE—CURED. Mr Henry Ricketts, Tryn Cottages, West bury, Gloucestershire, Mas a great sufferer from rheumatism for over two years. His attacks grew so violent that lie went to Bafch Hospital to have the benefit of the mineral waters. In five weeks he left even worse, and his case was pronounced incur able. Then he used St. Jacobs Oil. One application entirely relieved him of pain : his health is now fully restored, and the disease has never returned. CASE OF MR BARRETT, THE ACTOR. "Royal Princess's Theatre, Legsee and Manager, Mr Wilson Barrett, London, Eng land;—" Mr Barre'tt has desired me to thank you for the Pottle of St. Jacobs Oil you so kindly sent him, and say that lie had previously been using the Oil with signal effect. He has found it very effica cious in muscular rheumatism, and also in the case of a sprain. —Sii-vanus Daukcly." ST.
