Century.
His Punishment.
' Demarest sat biick iri his 'chair, his
legs crossed comfortably, 1 his elbows
resting on the velvet-cushioned armrests,
his finger tips lightly touching each oth
er, a slight smile on his face that was
sarcastic enough to vex Cicely almost
past endurance.
Demarest always wore just that same
grandly superior look whenever Cicely's
friend Dorian and she were together, in
Dematests presence and fMl usual, to
night Cicrfys Wes' -began to flash, for all
she controlled her voice so admirably in
I5thejta3t4uehe and Dorian sang.
'After sh(T had said good-night, she
went in from the piazza, whither she
had accompanied Dorian, straight back
to the chair where Demarest sat. ;
"DoVou know I think you are jnst as
mean-r-as you can be,' Chauncy Dem-;
arest?" " ",v 1 . - - .
She was provoked, but was trying to
show more anger than sh actually felt
-r-a rather difficult thing for any' woman
ia da,, where ChaUncy Demarest was
concerned, with his lazy, smiling, sar
castic eyes and handsome face that even
Philip Dorian's betrothed wife admired
and was influenced by as union as tne
rest of women. ; " ' i
Demarest was conceited,' as all hand
some men are bound to be, but it was in
such a charming, masterful way that it
rather added to than detracted from his
pupularity ; and just now, never stir
ring from his Jazy, Comfortable, position
he looked boldly back: into uiceiy s nan
angry half smiling eyes.
'tfiss yere you don't mean it."
' "Don't I? WeilIdo then most em-;
phatically, and I repeat it you are aw
fully mean."
His handsome" mouth curved in a

Cicely laughed a, little,
laugh, and turned awav and sat
on the piano stool, idly striking a chord
or so. . . (.;;
Demarest walked after her, and lean
ed his elbow on the end of the piano,
looking her squarely in the face, that
her eyes did not meet his, until a per
emptory little pronunciation of her name
sent the warm blood in her cheeks, an4
made her lift her eyes.
"Cicely! there must be child's play be
tweenus no longer."
'What shall you do'' with Philip Do
rian ? You promised to be his wife and
we love each other."
He spoke rapidly, passionatelyj and
with that masterfulness that Cicely Vere
admired above all things in a man, and
that Philip Dorian lacked utterly.
He went almost fiercely on, without
giving her time to answer. ;
"Do you think I will let such a man
as he is take my happiness from me ?
You shall be my wife, Cicely, for I love
you, and you love me. And I think I
am generous in not making you tell me
you do.
A strange confession of love but it
suited her, and thrilled her to her very '
souI, and all the rich color flickered and
wavered in her face as she looked up at
him. . .
"I will tell you though, Chauncy, but
I must marry Philip.' It has been ar
ranged so long, ever since that Horrible
day he waved niy life when the yacht
went down and not a soul escaped but
but Phillip' and I."
Demarest's lips curled, in 'spite of the
pathos in her voice. t ' " :.
"He was a greater coward to make you
pay for your life by giving it to him than
if he had let you die. Oh, my darling,
give him up for me, for me !",
The passionate persuasion in his voice
was inexpressibly sweet, and all the
smiling bonhomme of his face had given
place now o intense eagerness..
Cicely paled she could not cut Lo
riau adrift he was not a man who would
be jilted by a woman. J
Their engagement was of four years'
duration, and Dorian had told her, only
that same day, that his business affairs
were in a state that warranted him iriH
begging her to name ah early day for
their wedding.. ' ' ,
He was not a grandly imperious man
with a woman he loved, as Demarest
was, but he was slow, persistent, almost
dogged in his unwearied determination
to accomplish what he , purposed--and
for four years he had purposed to marry
Cicely Vere, the charming ' yonug girl
whom he had ; rescued from drowning
when the Wild Rose went down. 'And
he wanted her for iiswife, because she
wad a woman to be proud of, because
she was lovely to look at, because she
was rich. ' - ' :; ' ; ' '
And Chauncy Demarest knew all this,
knew that in her gratitude Cicely Vere
would wreck her earthly happiness and
his own ; knew that she did know, or at
laast suspected, that Dorian would nev
er have begged Miss Vere to bestow the
life he had saved for her if she had been
well one of tlie chamber maids whom
nobody tried to save in that awful mo
ment. ' ' ; " " ' ' '-
A day or so after that conversation
between Demarest and Cicely, Mr Do
rian went away from the hotel, back to
his office in Wall Street, where he would
coin money when once he had hia wife's
capital to start on,, and,, then Demarest
and Cicely ceased their devotion to each
other, for they were too honorable to
take advantage of tbeir opportune
ties., . ' - '.. :.:
' Once Demarest had said to her he
would never give her up, and she had
been confused, and startled, and dismay
ed, and told him she would marry the
man she promised to marry, unless he
gave her up of his own free will and ac
cord. ' '.'i ;
"Which is remarkably likely any man
in his senses would do' Demarest an
swered hotly. "
But they aid not very often speak of
it ; and one1 day .Cicely went , to him as
he stood looking ' moodily out on the ,

, But Demarest did not congratulate
her. I 1
"Lwish you had lost every dollar you
possess in the world !" , ,
She looked at him wonderingly; he re
turned the look positively. ;
"I mean just that if you had lost
every dollar, Philip Dorian would give
you up. . ,
, Then her eyes twinkled. ' h.j
"But no man in his senses would," she
said. . . ,.: : , t:., ' u,

and he became grave and earnest "will

' "I certainly will, if I can.". .
' "There is no doubt but that you car,

"Write a lettee to Dorian, and let me
dictate it, and promise me I may see the
answer. Will you. v
She shook her head dubiously. .
"I would rather , hear the dictation
first,'' she said cautiously.
: He repeated it hastily only a request
that Dorian would be so kind as to make
L all possible' inquiries into the St. - Law
rence bank failure, and ascertain, if pos
sible, if anything could be saved' from
the wreck. . , ... ,
She agreed, and the 'letter .was for

afterward Cicely sent a message to Mr.
Demarest to come to her aunt's parlor at
a certain time. . j ' . . , ; ,sf, j

the window and made her turn her face
toward him. U ; ; - ' '. :.-,)
' "Cicely; you surely are not so grieved
as this ? You have been crying." ' .
" "Crying ! '' I should think so. Oh;
