Mary Hamilton had. from the. mo
ment of their first meeting, felt Hieh
runlideuce in Dolores Unit, tin she had
tilvvaysi declared, her very presence
was trnn.iuilizing ami gave her a feel
ing of strength nml neeutity, as if her
spirit wore rained above the ordinary,
very-O'iV world. She oxiieiienced
Unit ellect now, wit h mi indescribable
i-"'.iiio of being restored to life and J
happiness, much a if she hud been
uwakciicd from a horrible but too real
dream. fSho could not forget the
words si 10 had heard, but, nui ely, she !
had strangely misunderstood' the !
meaning of them. Sho sank back I
again into her chair, Imt she drew j
Dolores down beside hrr, and, with
lu r iinit close about her, she said in a ;
jiiestioning voiee, but with a maimer j
tf perfect faith: !
, ' '1 heard bis words, dear, lie said '
Unit be loved you, and- oil, l.orita-- '
tlmt he had never loved any other
woman!"
"I know it, Maruja - but it was
idle talk-that man never really loved j
me he is not ivpahle of il."
Mary drew away from her a mo- j
tnent and looked nt her quest inn iuly ;
mi l Dolores paused in what she hud
been saying. She had been temple 1
to add: "Ho is incapable of loving
any one. and it is profaning the word
to speak it with his name,-' but aim '
felt tb.ul this would be useless now; !
fo f"ar, opposition to Clarence Stanley ,
'.ad, m is usual in ditch cases, only '
in. Teased I'olly Hamilton's mission. 1
With a half impatient nili Dolores '
continued: ;
"What he imagined to bo hi j love '
for me is limply a mania to possess
the groat treasure of the Mendozas n
treasure w in -h does, indeed, belong to
me if it is ever found, and which no
man or women can truly possess and
keep 3.cept through it rightful owner;
but I hhall never seek it. The man
you nro unfortunate cnouirh to love.
-Vmuja, sees in me simply the iios-
'eisoi' of untold treasures, tlio charm
of which is, perhaps, increased and
exaggerated by the romantic family
lib-lory of which I gave him thrt de
tails. How I regret that I did so!
Ilow I wish I had thou understood
myself bolter -as 1 do now. I hoped
the story of tlio wicked and treacher
ous l'ed ro Mctido7.ii might have been '
u warning to bim " I
"l.oi ita!" interrupted I'olly, re- j
proaehfully. "You are very bitter j
against Clarence."
"That c:i;iu it be newu to you,
Maruja; you have known from tha
first my aversion toward Mr. Stanley, j
It is not merely that I do not and !
Jiever could under any circumstances j
love Clarence Stanley that gives no :
idea of my fccliug in the matter 1
loatho him!"
She would have said more, but olio
f:iw that any further conversation
would lend to more than sho now
wished to say; and, risiuu; hastily, sho
!iis:.ed Mary hurriedly, but with pas
Mounto tenderness. Then she has
tened from the room. Hut, before
t losiug tlio door, she oaiuo back and
look I'olly Hamilton once more in her
rnius; and the girl remembered after
ward that sho embraced her solemnly.
"Adieu, Maruja!" sdio said. "My
(no dear, truo friend. Lovo mo al
ways, Maruja, and never forget me!
Dear girl!"
Sho drow her passionately to her
heart, aud I'olly felt a strange sadness
in that embrace, as if her friend were
naying a Ion farewell instead of gu
iu to her room.
Scarcely bad Dolores gone wheu
Mrs. llamiltou sought her daughter;
aud if I'olly had not beeu sunk iu
thought sho would have seen at a
(.lance that her mother was iu a state
of suppressed excitement, of a differ
ent naturo from the painful anxiety
vhich had been distressing uer iu re
gard to Tolly's mysterious illness.
Sho put the eveniug's paper iuto
the hand of I'olly aud pointed to tho
paragraph which she had found of
Mich engrossing interest, aud Mary
lead it:
"Waiito l Tlie heir to an Eu-ttlis'u carl

Volly dropped the paper with a
fifih' , ,

Hamilton.

N'ir'.v, mamma, you know there must

Mrs. llamillon fell herself ready to
choke willi the revulsion of feeling
caused by these inexplicable words,
and Ibiding language iiiadciiuatc to
express the cb:!otie colldilion of her
nun 1, she v.-a i reduced to silence.

And I'olly drank ihe bitter ntulV,
making iiuhiv wry faces as she did no;
and Mrs. Hamilton put her to bud and
tucked her in as she had itono when
she was a little child, and then she Hat
by her tdl she fell asleep.
Alter that sin' talked over with her
husband the f.u ei;;u news which had
so interested her, ami incidentally Mie
mentioned th:it there Irid been "some
mysterious kin I of aouaml" between
the lovers.
"And I'olly is mighty cool about it,"
she concluded, "and perhaps it is jui-t
as w ell she is, for it w ill I ach Lord

no 1 1 asoii why we, you and I.mydear,
should not write to Clarence and oiler

"Congratulations!" laughed Mr.
Hamilton, "eoii''ratiiliite n man on the

"Very well, then- -condolence!"

LoVl'.'s MAIITVIIIIOM.
Mary Hamilton said truly when she
told her mother that sho had expeii
enced a revulsion of feeling in regard
to Clareueo Stanley; but wishing to
spare tho heart that had ever loved
her entirely, sho had not told all the
truth. Sho had, indeed, been shocked
aud horrified by the words she had
heard him speak to Dolores; ami sho
had, insensibly, thought a score of
things too terrible to put into form in
regard to tho apparent reeoiinition of
him by Madame Hclmholtz.
It was well enough for Dolores to
insist that Stanley did not lovo her
that his avowal was prompted luciely
by his passion for money and his de
sire to gain possession of the mysteri
ous and wonderful Mendoza treasure!
Hut the tones of his voice still rang in
Tolly's ears, and tho passionate in
tensity with which ho had declared
his love was in striking ami very pain
ful eoutrast to tho tranquil and common-place
manner that had ever
characterized his love-making to her
1 elf.
Ail the evening, after her mother
hail left her for her sleep was
10011 over and far into the night,
Mary llamiltou reviewed her ac
ijiiaintauce with Clarence Stunley;
r.nd much that had so often seemed
'.trange, even to her partial judgment,
honed no loo i.eariy now -out in
. . , , 1

groaned the
nnlia'.iiiy girl, wiitiiing in pain so

Aaiu aad arain, through tb.exvo.iiy

thoughts, in every eoiicoivable vari.i
ti.in, ohaso each other through this
poor gill's t n fired fancy, till, quite
worn out. at last she tell asleep liom
exhaustion: but not until another an 1
yet sadder day hud already begun to
da vn.
It was late in the morning, and tho
household bad already breakfasted,
when Mary Hamilton awoke to that
poignant realization of ever-present
suffering which comes liko a dagger
thrust on lirst returning to wakeful
ness after bitter sorrow. She wol.e
with a loiig ibawu, moaning siujli - a
sound which struck, like a blow, her
I mother, who wiis . Inudlii'.; bc-ide tlm 1

You look troubled about something,
No accident to any mie, I hope?
What new misfortune has come upon

Is he ill? Is he deal?"
"Would to heaven that he had been

llamiltou. bitterly.
"Ah! Then he is not ihvvl! Thank
(iod for that !" cried Mary, as she sud
denly sat up iu In "I, ns if that very

1 "Kiln!" exclaimed Mary, sharply, a

! h. r voice. "Oh, mamma, dear, no
1 harm has come to Kiln?"
! "No harm has come to her," ans-
wered Mrs. Hamilton, with smiling
; and bitter contempt. "You dear, in
I noceiil child! No one is sacrificing
life or comfort to spare you, though
you would have died for eitbel of them.
Dolores is neither dea l imr ill nor

"'Kluped'" repented the girl,
I stupidly, lis though t he word possessed

! "Aye, with whom? Thai is the

1 "I'll never believe it!" exclaimed
.Mary llamiltou, "I could not believe
it! So, not if sho stool hero before

Mrs. Hamilton smothered an im
patient sigh. She could no! compre

stranger, now that Dolores was, uitn

her suceesslul rival; for Mrs. Hamil
ton ha I reasons, not yet given to
I'olly, for feeling ipiite convinced thai

who had in every way sought to be

"Tell 1110 all there is to tell about

moment's silence.
' It is little enough, but it means a
greit ileal," said Mrs. llamiltou.
