mesaay. Evening October lft Ifttm WiTBERING OF A ROSE By MABIB CORBKU. lYkinu llf T Copy i i ht 1896 by the Author. CHAPTER I.-Contioaed. l .1 ;,-s of cl!noii8 weanier tuey were -j.i.ie mid 1 ahny as spring, tbongh it hl11 -mnirr happy dayg they mifrlit Jiave proved to Rose Allingham if tli. y hud not also beeu days of ever droning perplexity. She was a very loving littlo creature quick to respond to kindness and she troubled herself d.vporately in secret as to why she could not, though she tried, be altogether Irtvmg to her husband. Something held her back from him there was some impalpable barrier between his nature and hers that kept tbeni singularly apart, though to all appearances united The veriest trifles helped to emphasize this curious state of things. One even ing, strolling together in the pine woods, lie 1-cgau to think of all the dainty love poems she used to read and be so fend of, and bringing to mind their dulcet teachings she snddnnlv - j u un hand s hand and gently slipped it round her waist, leaning her fair little head confidently back against the rI-.oH ahe arm thus encircling her ti, QP, With shy. sweet: proa lung blush, she said softly: vru, isii 1 mat nice?" fgarded her with n - ......... amazement. "Certainly not! It is not 'nice!' It is anything but nice! I am surprised nt you, Rose! I really am. Suppose any one were to meet us walking along in thin ridiculous position! Why, they Mould take us for Cook's tourists a Cockney "Arry and 'Arriet out for a stroll! Nothing could be more vulgar and degrading!" Ho withdrew his arm in haste and walked beside her stiffly erect, scenting mr pmjf air- in virtuous indignation. Hi young wife said not a word, but w alked on also, with crimsoning cheeks and downcast eyes, her little feet niov iiiK somewhat wearily. Presently he glared down upon her, with an air of relenting condescension. "Surely you know that demonstra tions of affection in public are very bad form?" he inquired. ,Sho looked up, her soft eyes flashing for once with something very like scorn. "Where is the public?" she asked! "We are quite alone alone with the forest and the sunset and with God! But I am sorry if my action offended you. " "Dear me, I am not offended. Why ihould I be?" he retorted pettishly. "You meant it well, no doubt. But wherever we are, alone or before wit lipHHe. we must avoid even the appear ance 01 vulgarity. And pray do not tjuote poetry to me. I hate it 'Alone with the forest and the sunset and with God.' What rubbish that is!" "Is it?" and she gavo a littlo sigh. "It is not poetry at any rate. It is only me. " "Only you," he repeated. "What do you mean?" "I mean that I said it. Tlm- v J mm. mj own word, just as they came into my head. Very silly, of course. " He eyed her with dignified wonder. "Silly!" he echoed. "I should think r indeed. Nothing could be sillier. Tliey remind nie of the style which the newspaper critics condemn as 'forcibly feeble.'" He smiled and stroked his black mus tache. All at once she locked up at him With an expression of pathetic pleading in her youi;g face. "Harold," she said in a low, uncer tain voice, "are you sure I mean do you really love me?" At this he felt seriously vexed. She wan Koing to bo hysterical, or something, he was sure. Women were all alike. "My dear Rose." he replied, with latiorious politeness, "I think if you vill take into consideration the fact tlint I have married you, you will scarcely need to ask such a very foolish question. If I had not loved vou. 1 should not have matte you my wiie. That you are my wife ought to be suffi cient for you the deepest feelings, as yu know, have the fewest words. I hope," here his voice became distinctly "KRrieved in tmw, "I hope you are not going to cry. Nothing is more childish, but perhaps you are overtired and had better go indoors. Pray, remember that ive are living more or less under public Jiwpeetutn, and that a hotel is not the place to make a scene in. " She raiaed her eyes to his. They were dry and bright and cold. "Do ljot be afraid," she said. "I am not crying, and I shall make no scene. " And, turning from him, she entered the hotel in silence. Ho did not follow her, but remained sauntering up and down on the turf outside, smoking a cigar. The next morning Mr. Francis Fane w:ui out in the woods with his easel and sketching block, bent on finishing a rather powerful study of a tall pine tree plit through by lightning. He had been hard at work for more than an hour be fore he became aware that there was a mall white buudle lying, apparently thrown, on the moss at some little dis tance off. He could not make it out very distinctly, for the shadows of the pines were o long and wide, and presently, moved by curiosity, he got up and went to see what it was. As he approached, it resolved itself into a figure a slight little figure clad in white, with a blue riblioii round its waist and stopping abruptly in his advance, he caught the Mijiothcrod sound of low sobbing. " By Jove!" he muttered. "Mra Al-IikkIhwji!" Indescribably pained and uncomforta ble at this discovery, he was about to step noiselessly back to bis easel with out uttering a word, when the girl sud denly raised her head, and, perceiving I'im. started rip, nervously trying to Cfitrol herself. "I-i-I beff pmir nnnlnii ." ho atam. ".iun8 witn intense interest. Ihave often noticed vonwjinWi ..u , " ' "8 awutwilll your easel and paintbox.

"Of course I do, " he answered, some what amused and surprised at her tone. Everybody at the Pension Gutsch knows you by sight.

You could hardly expect them to say or to think anything else could you?" She smiled and bluKhed. "Oh, I don't know," she said. "You see, I thought they might think me well, funny!" He stared. "Funny?" " Yes. Because it does seem funny, doesn't it, for such a little thing as I am, to be a married woman? Some peo ple must think it curious. Fancy, a married woman!

He heard her with a eertaiu wonder and reverence her voice was so very sweet and grave. 1 cannot say I ever thought of it in the way yon see it," he answered, "but I am very glad and proud that yon find so much poetry in my poor effort. ' ' Poetry? Oh, 110. I am not at all poetical," she said quickly and almost shamefacedly. "I used to be rather fond of reading Keats and Byron, but I never do that now.
