Two m.en were r iding s lowly over the African

veldt at the end of a long , hot day. The y were too

tired to talk or to take any interes t in the mono

tonous scenery, except to wish that they were

nearer t l ieir des tination.Soihe s is months ago the elder of the two

travellers , Gerard Masson, had asked his cousin

C yr i l t o accompany h im on a s i i oo t ing exped i t i on

to Central Africa, and the invitat ion ha d been, joy-

' fully accepted. Cyril was too i joor to have m any

friendsj and such a chance had never come his

way bef or e . I f he qu i ck ly d is cover ed tha t Ger ar d

was an over bear ing , s e l f i s h companion , he s car ce ly

acknowledged i t even to himself. I t made h im

feel ungrateful , and, in spite of his cousin's auto

cr a t i c ways , H^ ' had en joyed the t r i p imme ns e ly .

" I s n ' t t ha t a hous e over t h er e ^" Ger ar d ex

claimed Suddenly, poin ting towards a *" m the

fowl and tough beef. In any case i t ' s a chance to

f i l l our waterrbag, and one we can' t afford to neg

l ec t i n t h i s s andy des er t , "

So they turned off the track and made for the

s quat - l ook ing bu i ld ing , which was ha l f - h idden by

the r is i ng g r ound in f r on t . As t hey appr oac hed

they saw that i t was the usyal Boer farm of the

which was s p l i t her e and ther e by the hea t , and

Ger ar d Hus hed wr a th f u l ly ; he was accus tomed in

powerless he was to enforce his will for once he

moder a t ed h i s t one .

"B ut we ' r e dog- t i r ed and ha l f - s t a r ved , " he

deigned to exp la in , "and the hor s es a r e ahnos t

" I 've told you there's nothing here for you or for

obliged, and you won' t of ten make f ive pounds so

The Boer 's l i t t le eyes glis tened greedily as he

saw the gold, , but he did no t move .

" K e e p a n E n g l i s h m a n a n i g h t in m y h o u s e ? "

lonely and f o r lo r n ! She wonder ed du l ly whether

A n d the man she had mar r i ed— what would they e a r s do for h i m ?

And in this case the victim wouldbe her or the child. She c l as ped her hands wi th astifled cry as she t hough t t ha t a day might comew h e n she could no l onger s t and be tween the fragilel i t t le creature s leeping ins ide and her unnatu r a lf a ther .

Onlythe eyes blazed v/i th a terr ible l ights She h a r d l yneeded to see the s trap on the f loor—stained reaher e and there—to tell her w h a t had been done .

She r ocked her uncons c ious bur den mechan ica l lyto and fro, i ier wild eyes f ixed on the s ti l i , whiteface, while the fury within her mounted h igherand h igher un t i l it s wept ever y th ing e l s e away .

" H e has done it for the l as t t ime, " she said,speaking imconsciously aloud. " He s ha l l nevers tr ike her a g a i n . "

Her vo i ce was low and toneless from the ver yintensity of pass ion ; no words could exprfes whats he t hough t or felt . For t ha t ac t i on was r equ i r ed ,

September 2.2, 1906. THE DAILY MrftROR. ,

A MA: P A S T -C H A P T E R X V I I .

O o n o l u s i o n .

The world was a month older, th e scene was

Lady Mafflin's cosy little morning- room. From

one side to the other of it Denzil pac^d, sometimes

in utter silence for many minutes together, some

times stopping suddenly to demand of Harriet an

answer to some puzzling an d embarrassing ques

tion.

"You have told me o f t e n j " he said, in a voice

that had lost all. its brightness, all its mellowbeauty, "bu t I think it is simply to comfort m e.Will yo u swear to me that—that—you believe her—

death was an accident?"

And there came back to Harry's ears th e voice

of th e dead girl when she.had said to hex: "Will

you promise me that whatever happens Derry ma ynever know'?" Harry ha d given th e promise, andin answering Denzil now she kept it.

" He shall never know; he shall never guess;

but I know, and I wonder if. her sactifice will have

been in Vain? I wonder if, after all, hfe would

have been to o hard, as she found it was t h e n ? "

But Harriet could find no answer to her ownquestion; she only knew that it would be many

day's before she could find joy in the- merry life

that had been hers.• » » » * * *

It was in the winter of another year that Denzil

returned to London. He had disappeared entirely from his world, out of the lives of, all hisold friends, long ago—long enough to be forgotten

save by the very few who were constant. Ther e

was the old tired look in his eyes, th e half-weary

tone in his voice. What his hfe had been for thepast year none would ever know, he himself

scarcely' cared to remember. Biit it was ended

now, and he had returned to his own country with

a set purpose.

Through the old familiar streets, now enveloped

in a slight yellow fog, he was driven; through

one upon which he resolutely closed his eyes. Itwas the one in which his town house stood, th ehouse where Kate had died, th e house that he hadparted with because never could he bear to pass

through its doors again. H e went straight to hisrooms where he found an accumulation of letters

which took him all the morning to go through;

and he afterwards received visits from his menof business who had grown a little impatient athis long absence.

And when he coiild count the day at last his own,he went ou t again and'made his way to a house

which lay far away from th e glare and noise ofLondon, which stood alone in ,the dim, silent

country. Th e journey was a long one, so long

that it was late when he reached his destination,

and his inquiry for Mrs. Tempest was received with

a look of suspicion from th e little country maid

who somewhat reluctantly admitted him to hermistress's presence,,

But Denzil piit her aside, and unceremoniously

closed th e door in her face; and for a moment heclosed hi s eyes, and drank in the old subtle scent

of violets that brought with it memories of the past.

" I have come back," he said to the woman wh ocame to meet him. " In all the world there is only

you—only you who cares. I deserve nothing; bu t—if you can help me to forget th e pagt, and for

the years that arc left to us make a neiv life—Meg,I have come back to you, and if you turn from menow--—-"

Where he knelt at her feet she leant forward andpassed hei; hands over his hair with a gesture

of half-pity and infinite tenderness.

" If I can help you to forget, if l can bring yo upeace and any happiness," she said softly, " then

stay,"

MARRIAGES SPOILT

BY R E LA T IV E S .

WHAT INTERFERENCE DOES TO MAR

H A P P I N E S S .

Too many people seem to imagine that relation*

ship gives them the right to superintend th e affairs

of their entire family. Th e continual efforts of amother to rule the home of her daughter and her

daughter's husband have made the name of mother-

,in-law a terror to young married people. Yet the

mother is not the only meddler-brothers, sisters,

uncles, and aunts, all have their finger in the pie

at times.

When a young man and a young woman" marry

the relatives of the pair should consider that their

right to domineer over either, party has ceased, and

that they have no business to interfere in the affairs

of th e wedded pair until their help is solicited,

A mother will often sow the seeds of discontent

in a home by laying dovi-n to her daughter th e rules

of conduct to which she considers her sou-in-law

with their,rel atives; some fainilies get on splen

didly toget her after marri age. These are thepeople who wish each other happiness, look on ateach other's affairs, -but never speak until they

know their opinions are wanted. A married couple

who agree well with their respective relatives aremuch happier than those wh o have none, or whohave to keep, away from t hem. Ye t rather than

suffer from interference it is better, to keep quite

apart,

ought to conform. What an excellent example ofthat Mrs. Mann's new novel, " The Eglamore Por

traits," presents'I

The mother ought not to be so thoughtless, forthe young wife will probably repeat her words byway of a joke to her husband, and be astonished

to find him angry. It is such-thoughtlessness that

brings about quarrels between man and wife.

The, husband's mother is quite as great anoffender as the wife's mother. No .girl can begood enough for her son in her belief. Sh e will

enter the new home and point out its defects,

mentioning th e special aversions of he r bOy,describing hi s likes and dislikes, and generally

leaving the impression that he is the only one to beconsidered in the house,

Gratuitous advice of that sort is never of tise to awife. Sh e does not want to be told that her hus

band likes hi s teef well cooked or two lumps of

sugar in his tea; the little joys of her life He infinding these things out for herself, whTle on hispart nothing can be sweeter to the husband than todiscover that hi swife observes hi speculiarities andrespects them,

It is not suggested that no couple can be happy

HOUSEHOLD HINTS.

Windows should never be cleaned while the sunshines on them, as it is impossible to polish ihem

without leaving streaks. • • •

When grease spots appear on wall-paper, lay asheet of blotting-paper upon Jjie spot an d pass

over it a moderate ly warm flat-iron,

If soot falls upon th e carpet or rug 4o not attempt

to sweep it until it has been covered thickly "^vilh

dry salt.. It can then be sw«pt up, and not a stain

or smear will be left.

Yolks of eggs left over when th e whites onlyare needed will keep for several days if they arecovered with cold water. In hot weather it is Aveli

to change th e water every day."

Should a lamp be overturned, smother th e flame,

but do not use water, for it will simply spread it.

Instead, throw down flour, sandj garden earth, or

salt, stny of wliich will have tlic desired effect. '

When cleaning copper or brass add a little turpen

tine to the polish; it will clean quickly an d alsp

remove stains. Fo r very'stubbom stains use salt

and vinegar frrst; it may also bs" used to advantage

Newcastle United are, I should say, the cleverest sideplay ing the game at t he moment , and yet t hey jus tl ack that someth ing which woidd make them the equal sof the famous Pres ton North .End s ide, o r some of theelevens which have represen ted As ton Vi l l a , o r t he te&mof al l t he t al en t s at Snnd edan d , o r , t o come nearer tothe p resen t day , t he 'Spurs ' s ide which won the C i ip ând , w i th al l due deference- to my Nort l i ern fr i ends , Isubmi t t ha t was one of the bes t el evens we have seenof recen t years .

I fancy i t i s j us t t h i s want o f the four l et t ers whichlet s t i i e Uni t ed down at t imes before in fer io r t eams ; sofar as the n i cety o f the game i s concerned .

They have s t ar t ed wel l , and are go ing to have a b igseason , and I p red ict a t remendous crowd at Pium-s t e a d a n d n r igh t merry one at t he f in i sh ,

Th e o ther matches were ai l , fu l iy covered in yes t erday ' sp a p e r b y " T h r o s t l e , " a n d , b e y o n d a re f e r e n c e t o ' t h eone match of supreme in t eres t i n the Second Div i s ion , Iwi l l pass along to the games in . the Southern L eagu e. .

Most people p red ict a happy re-en t ry in to the sen iorranks at t he close o f th i s season , and , wi t l i a young andenthus ias t i c s ide, i l i ey should get t h rough .
