“ You must do so,” Hllllan persisted. •* i nave 
acquainted Mr. Whitely with this fact, and hid

“ You are very good—very generous, Mias Carls-

“ No—no t” she vehemently interposed. 
“ Well, then, suspect ot willfully tricking you." 
“ I believed that I had good reasons for the sus¬ 
picions 1 entertained,'’ she sighed. “ But do not 
add your reproaches to the weight of ray unhappi¬ 
ness. Heaven knows I am miserable enough.” 
“ You speak as If you were half Inclined to ad¬ 
mit that you have made more than one discover}*: 
that something or other has led you to the con¬ 
clusion that I have not been guilty ot all that was 
laid to my charge. Am X right ?” 
“ Yes,” said Hllllan. ** I could not see my way 
out of the web that was so cunningly wound about 
me. till l had a glimpse or the motives of the rep¬ 
tile who worked upon my weakness for his own 
ends. 1 should like to hear you say that you for¬ 
give me, Lord Oarlsforde, for all the injustice with 
which I have treated you." 
“ By tlds kiss, and this. I not only forgive you, 
hut love you better than ever!” 
But now. rosy with confusion, she struggled out 
of his arms. 
“No—no, 1 did not mean that; only to—to be 
good friends before T go away again.” 
“ And where would you go 7” asked Noel, Im¬ 
prisoning one of her hands. 
“For to-night, do you mean? To the hotel 
where Airs. Hurst Is waiting for me; to-morrow 
we shall join her sister. Miss Gray, at her cottage 
by the sea, where I hope we shall soon hear of 
your being publicly installed at cartsforde." 
“ Never, unless you go there with me as its mis¬ 
tress,” cried Noel. “ If It Is I who am rich, I need 
no longer hesitate to say all that Is In my heart,, 
and I tell you. once for all, that I will not accept 
this property, nor live at the Park, without you 
share sovereignty. Ah! Hllllan—beloved iTtllian, 
can you not comprehend that my only craving tor 
wealth has been that It might give me the woman 
I love ? I have not coveted riches for myseir, but 
to enable me tomake a home worthy of my bride.” 
“ There are others fairer," she faltered. 
“ But none dearer.” he promptly responded. 
“ Look up. and confess that you helleve this.” 
But Hllllan would not or could not do this, and 
her voice trembled more than ever as she de¬ 
manded whether she ought to permit him to make 
such a marriage. 
“Nay, Hllllan, none of these scruples, pray!" 
he pleaded. “You love me? Yes. you do not 
deny It. Only say that you have conquered the 
distrust which I am not conscious of having done 
anything to deserve; then promise that you will 
he mine, and I shaU be happy, Indeed." 
“ But you have doubted me also.” she reminded 
him. “ Although Mr. Dunforth may have deceived 
me, when he hinted that It was with your conniv¬ 
ance he came to Oarlsforde, and forced himself 
Into my eonildenee, 1 cannot forget that you your¬ 
self questioned me about events that I did not 
wish known." 
“ But 1 could have told you If you would have 
let me. that It was from Dunforth I heard of these 
thingsand Noel repeated how Clement professed 
to have recognized her as a suppliant at the law¬ 
yer’s office, and afterwards as charged with theft, 
under the name of Smith. 
“ How dared he so distort the truth!" cried 
Hllllan, indignantly. *• Now. hear my version. 
Once, when I was bitterly feeling papa's coldness 
to me, I determined to enter a convent, and plead¬ 
ed with tears to be permitted to carry out my In¬ 
tention. I was so miserable, so lonely, that on my 
knees l prayt fi papa's solicitor to intercede for me. 
and let me hide my repulsive ugliness In the 
cloister. When my prayer was denied, I escaped 
from my aunt’s guardianship, and at night and 
alone, endeavored to find my way to the house of a 
s isterhood, in which I Intended to e nroll myself. 
Some wretched women, attracted by a valuable 
No. 2.—A stylish costume or silk and grenadine 
Is here represented. The polonaise Is cleverly 
contrived, and Is very appropriate for washable 
fabrics as well as those of silk or wool. A novel 
decoration for the bottom of the polonaise Is formed 
by cutting the bottom in points and facing them 
on the outside with the silk goods, and concealing 
the top of the facing under a rucking of the same

seam through the center of the back. Lawns, 
organdies and momle cloths, will be largely made

from stretching. A grenadine polonaise made up

organdy, piQue, cambric, print, or any washable ’ 
material, and trimmed with Hamburg embroidery,

In the model. Price of pattern. 35 cents. 
No. 6632,—Ladles' Overskirt. While this over¬ 
skirt Is stylish with long or dcml-trulu skirts, Its 
short Iront-goro and close drapery make It also 
decidedly fashionable for wear with short walking- 
skirls. This model Is adupted to silk, satin, silk 
and woolen mixtures, bareges, and nearly all kinds 
of suit goods. Fringe, lace or plaiting may be 
added to the sides, and lor thin, gauzy materials

But as Ada Carlsforde’s cold hand would have 
unclosed the outer door, she was clasped In a close 
embrace, and carried, rather than led hack Into 
\ the parlor. Noel had followed her -. it was he who 
now held her In his arms, and drew her head down 
| on his throbbing breast, and kept It there In spite 
of a little resista nce.

tire margin. The front portion of the crown Is 
concealed by four upright frills of lace and a fancy 
bow of ribbon, while ribbon also extends about 
the edges of the marginal trffls and forms another 
how at. the back. The sides of the crown are 
covered with strips of Insertion joined diagonally 
and bordered with the same edging as that form¬ 
ing the Dill, while the row ol Insertion next the 
highest Is also edged with a lace frill. A less ex¬ 
pensive cap may be made by covering the crown 
with tine Silesia—either blue or pink—and over¬

may be used In making ibis Pompadour with 
charming effect, and the more delicate the tint of 
the ribbon selected, the daintier the effect.
