dose to the bed, and for a moment or two
thought she bad made a mistake—this couid
not be Fra ces-but as she stood shocked,un
certain, the sick woman sighed restlessly',
opeiielherlai-geh.fi eyes and instantly
a gleam of reooguitioo shot into them
‘•Ruth: Is it Ruth?” she said, and held
oat ter hand, which Rute first clasped, and
tbeo kissed the burni-K pulm.
"I have come to nurse you,” faltered
Ruth, and tears she could not suppress
rushed into her eyes. , „
‘I have been very ill, but I am better,
said F. a .ees m a weak, hoarse voice, but
she was perfectly conscious. “When did
you cornel” she continued. “I am glad you
have come; what I want is nursiug; tuey
neglect me here.”
■■l shall take care of you; I have brought
plenty of money; you cau have everything
you require.”
“that is good news, ’ said the invalid.
“And how is ” and then her miud
seemed to wander a little through excessive
weakness. “I forget n mes sometimes,”
she added, as if apologetically.
‘•Do y.,u mean our father?’ said Ruth in
a io w tone.
•‘Yes, to be sure, our father—and the
Oldman at Sudley. “Ah” and he sud
denly raised herself up in bed, the whole
tragedy of her life flashing back to her
weakened aud sometimes clouded brain,
•why did you do it, Ruth? Do you know
what you did? You sent poor Arthur Bea
ton to his grave.”
"No, no. Oh, no!”
“Yes, but is was so,” went on Frances,
her eye, gleaming wildly. “That wretch,
Auuloy, came to Monte Carlo to i ell Arthur
of the little bora bane dead before its time
that you buriod by the sea. And do you
know why he did this? To revenge himself
on you for telling the story to St af >rth. I
thought you hou and have died before vou

But it was difficult to realise it. In the
two years which has passed since she had
seen Audley he had grown very shadowy
and indistinct to her mind. She had tried
never to think of him, in fact, for his re
membrance was only pain, aud to see him
again she felt would rnake the old wounds
bleed anew.
Sbe returned therefore to Frances’ bed
side fee ing restless and dis'urbed in no or
dinary degree. Col. Kenyon had arranged
to take r.erthe next day to see Au iley, hut
of course she said nothing of this to Franees,
who seomed a little better than usual w hen
she returned.
Aud on the following afternoon she did
go to see the stricken min. Ever
since his accident Maj. Audley had drunk
an inordinate quantity of brandy, and this
intemperance the doctors believed had
brought on the paraiysis from which he
was suffering. lie was a melancholy spec
tacle, the whole of the left side of the body
being affected, and this, coupled with the
fact of the loss of his right leg, made him
almost entirely po verle-s.
He was sitting prooped up in an easy chair
when Col. Kenyon led Ruth into is room;
and when she saw the shattorei wreck be
fore her, she was much shocked aud over
come. t-he wont up to him, and took one
of his cold stiff bauds in hers.
“You have been ill?” she said pityingly.
“I am ill, vou mean,” he answered with
something of his old manner; “I am a use
less log, Ruth; not fit any longer to cum
ber the eart j.”
“Oh! do not say that.”
“It’s about the truth, at all events," he
continued. “And so you are in Paris to
nurse ”
Bu r Ruth gave a warning gosture, and
looked rou dat Col. Kenyon, who wal .ed
to the window, not caring to watch this
strange meeting between the husband and
wife.
"Ruth, my dear.” said Col. Kenyon, the
next moment, “I’ll go uow, and call for
you in half-an-hour; Maj. Audley may
wish to talk to you a little while.
Ruth would fain have bid him stay, but
in Audley’s terrible condition it seomed im
possible t 0 say anything that might seem as
a slight to him. So C .l. Kenyon went
away, and Ruth was alone ivith Audley.
He was silent for a moment; he looked at
her earnestly—at this girl- wife with her
fair face, who had never loved him, and
tneu he gave a restless sigh.
"I am glad to see you again,” he said. “I
have tnought more than once since this con
founded paralysis has overtaken me of
asking you to come—but I suppose you
would not have like l that?”
“If I could have done you any good,”
hesitated Ruth, with downcast eyes.
“Wed, for the matter of that, no one cai
do mo any good; but you could have taken
c re of me, you know, until you are a
widow.”
“I wish you would not talk thus.”
“Very well, I won’r, then. I was so as
toui had to see old Kenyon yesterday. s >
astonished that tor a moment I forgot all
about poor Beaton’s death,” and his brow
darkened, “though, for the matter of that,
he only did what I myself would have done
u ,der tue circumstances. Bud at all events
I lorgot the poor lad, and ouly remembered
1 might hear something of you.”
“You know Frances is very ill?”
“So he told me; and is it verv safe for
you to nurse a woman ill of typhus fever?”
“I am very, very glad I came; I hope
she is going 1 1 get better now.”
“You are a good little woman, Ruth."
“No, no. indeed.”
“Aud if Madame whatever her name is—
she will always be Jezebel to me you know,
—gets well do you think you will come and
nurse me for a little bit?”
“If you wish it, yes.”
“Thank you: Ido wish if. And now tell
me how your father is, and all the news.”
S .o sat with him for half an hour, and
then Col. Kenyon returned lor her and
they went a-vay; but not until she had
promised to return. But on the following
day Frances was worse, and it was impas
sible for Ruth to leai e her.
Of the next few days in that darkened
sick-room it is painful to write. Fatal
syinptons sac iu, and the doctors told Ruth
pla.uly t ere was no tope. And it was ter
rible to Ruth to know that Frances was per
fectly u iconseious of her danger. She talked
of go.ting wo 1 when she talked at all, and
at last, trembling, white-lipped, Ruth spogo
to her of the great change sac kne w was
near._
“iVhat do you mean?” said Frances
quickly, a startled look coming on her hag-
Hil'n-'e. “Please, Ruth, do not begin to
preach.”
"lia, my dear, my dear,” said Ruth,
bursting into a sudden passion of tears,
and siuking on her kuees by the bedside;
“.he doctors do not tluak you are improv
ing—they—uni., k ”
“Not t at I am going to die!” cried Fran
ces in terror. “I will not die—l dare not
die—-do I’t for heaven’s sake speak of it
agaiu, Ruth!”
“At least let us pray together,” wept
Ruth. "On, my dear, tnink how good Goi
is. Let us ask him to forgive us all our
sins!”
But Frances would not listen.
“I do not see how we have been very
muen worse than other people,” she said;
“oleise let me alone Ruth, i want to try to
sleep.”
Alas! in the fitful sleep that followed each
moment brought her near r to the long
sleep tnat has no wakening. And as the
garnering shades of evening stole over the
gay aud busy world o itside, so did the gath
ering shades of death creep nearer aud
nearer to the vain restless heart who had
done not good but evil ail her days I
And us the hours wore on, even Frances
began to fear, began to realize that the
new and strange sensations which over
whelmed her might mean the unseen
shadow from which there is no escape. Her
terror then became pitiable to bo old. It
was terrible to see this reluctant soul—con
scious, terrified —drifting into darkness,
cliaging to life, vainly fighting with the
grim foe!
* * * * * * *
She died at daybreak, but, for some hours
before her death, she lay in a state of semi
sensihility, while Ruth knelt by her side,
praying audibly and holding fast the poor
uands in which the pulses were sinking
lowor aid lower. At last the ond came;
there was a shudder, a brief struggle, aud
beautiful Frances Forth was dead.
CHAPTER XLVIII.
not very poor.
Ruth’s grief was deep aud bitter when
they told her that Fra ices bad ready passed
awav. And as she wept and wailed,
there came another mourner—seemingly
an old man—who stood gazing, w ith drv
eyes and haggard face, at tue changed fea
tures he remembered in their lovely prime
This was CoL Kenyon, who, as he knew the
end was drawing near, had gone to the
house where Frances lay dying. Ail night
he had waited, sleepless, moved to the very
soul by the knowledge of the mortal strug
gle goiug on in the chamber above where he
sat, pai j and rigid, hiding as best ho could
the strong emotions surg.ug in his breast.
Then at daybreak tuey came and told
him Madame was at r st—that it was all
over; hud Col. Kenyon roue up and went to
look On the face of the dead womau who
had once been his wifqf Long ne stoo 1

spoke no words. Ho scarcely indeed seemed

memorv and of woe. He turned his eye? I
away from the haggard face o i tue pillow
ami lo ted at Ruth, and the next moment
laid his hand on her shoulder.
“Come with me, my dear,” be said.
“You can do no fur.her good now. And
he raised her to her feet as lie spoke.
Ruth wished to remain, but Col. Kenyon
was firm.
“It is mv duty to take you away," he
said, aud Ruth, worn with watching and .
mental suffering,yielded, aud after or © long,
la-t look at her once b-autiful sistei's lac-, !
allowed her.-elf to be led from the room.
Ruth was very ill during the next few
days, so ill that Col. Ken von telegraohed
for ber father, and Col. Forth arrived in
time to follow Lii eldest daughter to ber
though at first be refusal to do so.
But Col. Kenyon wished it. and he was
ashamed to refu.-e.
“Let us only remember what she once
was to us both,” said Col. Kenyon. And
so the two old friends siw her laid in her
last resting-place, after her brief, unquiet
life.
Maj. Audley had sent to inquire many
times duri g the last few days of Frances’
illness, and showed real anxiety about
Ruth’s condition, t’ney took her from the
house where France? bad tiled as soon as it
was possible, aid after a little while, after
the first shock was softened, she began to
recover, and, to the great relief of her
father and Coi. Kenyon, showed no symp
toms of infection, which she might have so
e isilv contrac.ed by her constant attendance
on Frances.
Toe i Col. Forth began to talk of taking
her home, but Ru h said very little. She
asked Col. Kenyon very quietly one day
to take her to see Audley, and when she
entered his room in ber deep mourning,
she could not at first suppress her tears.
“Come, you must not break down,” said
Audley, who was not unmoved.
“No; but it was so dreadful.” w-ep; Ruth.
They were aione, for Col. Kenyon bad
only escorted her to the door of the hou e,
where Aulley had a small suite of rooms,
and after a few moment? silence, after a
slight hesitation, Audley asked her to re
main with him.
“I know it is a selfish thing to do,” he
said, “but it won’t be for long, Ruth.”
“Would it make you happier?” asked
Ruth gently fixing her eyes, full of pity, ou
hi i face. “Are you sure you would like
me to be with vou?”
“I am quite sure: I always liked you, you
know, [o.ir little woman.”
“Perhaps I can be some little help to you,
I think you should have a woman with
you—if you wish it, I will stay.”
So they settled it, and to the surprise and
strong indignation of Col. Forth, Ruth told
him when she returned to their hotel that
she was going to remain in Paris with her
husband.
“vVi.n that fellow? After he struck you?”
said the colonel, angrily.
“Ha will not strike me any more,” an
swered Ruth gently, “poor fellow, he can
not lift bis hand."
“But to spend your life with ahelplers
cripi'ie’ Just think what it will be, before
you determine on such a sacrifice.”
“I think i . is my duty. he has no one to
iook after biro, and I feel sure I am doing
right,” said Rijtn earnestly. and nothing
her father could say could move her from
her purp .se.
“I think she is right," answered Col.
Kenyon quietly, when Col. Forth appealed
to him on the subject; und so, exceedingly
sore and annoyed at the idea of losiug the
company of his daughter when he had be
come so accustomed to it, Col. Forth at
length returned to his little house at Head
fort alone.
That Ruth's now life wag a painful trial
to her it would be useless to deny. But sha
was of a very pitiful and womanly nature,
and Audley was such a great sufferer that
it soou became easy and natural to her to
tend, and try to chee-r him. She wrote and
told Ke mid Senforth out in India what she
had done.
“I am sure if you sawhim, dear KenarJ,
you would say I had done right—and ne is
so much moro patient than he usod to be.”
she wrote to her old friend. “I read to him
and write his letters; and he was so very
lonely, and hisdife is so very sad, that I am
glad that lam able to be with him;” aud so
on.
It went on for nine months longer, and
Ruth made a devoted nurse, and the end
came very suddenly and quietly. Major
Audley had already had two paralytic at
tacks when Ruth returned to him, and ho
died when too third seized him, never re
gaining speech nor consciousness. He had
seemed unusually weU the day before, aud
had spoken very gratefully to Ruth.
“YVheu I die, niy dear,” he had said, “you
will know how well I have appreciated all
you- kindness.”
Ruth telegraphed to her father, and the
colonel lost no time in hastening to her as
sistance But imagine his delight when,
after poor Audley was buried, he received
a letter from Audley’s lawyers to inform
him that the late Maj. Audley had some
months ago executed a will in favor of his
wife, and bv it had left her his entire for
tune, completely iu her own control. This
fortune was a substantial one, for since his
sister’s death Audley had had au income ot
over two thousand a year; and Ruth thus
f uud heiself almost a rich woman, and un
derstood now what the poor fellow had
meant when he told her she would know
some day ho?v well he had appreciated all
her kindness,
Col. Forth's elation was so great, he
could sc ire'ely keep it within tha bou ids of
decency.
“They’ll not show you the cold shoulder
now at Headfort, Ruth,” he said, proudly,
but Ruth only smiled, and then went to her
own room and sat down thinking softly of
someone who was far away.
And tho next day she went out quietly
and alone, and poste l a newspaper, in
which she had ma ked the annou 1 cemo it
of Maj. Audio'.'’s death. And the i she
watched and waited for the iettar she hoped
this news would b ing.
It came by the first Indian mail, after
IC -nard Seat mr : knew that the man was
dead who had senaratod him from his
young love. Shall wo read it with her?
Read tha warm and tender words in which
he told her that bis heart hud never change!;
that he would return to E gland immedi
a el v, and that he prayed God that this
time nothing would separate them?
* ***** *
And he came; and these two, who had
loved each other so truly, met again, and
cla ped each other's hands in silent joy.
Seaforth looked browner and older, but he
told Ruth that in her fair face he saw no
change.
“And ray darli ig.” be said after a little
while, “will you go”back to India with me
at once?”
“Must that be?” she asked softly.
“Well, yon see we won’t have very much
money, and I think for a year or two it
would be more prudent.”
Ruth smiled. .
“But I am not very poor now.” she said;
and when Seaforth heard of her fortune,
with excusable exaggeration he declared ho
would have liked'her better without it!
But his parents' wore by no m -an? of this
opinion. Kenard judiciously told the
amount of Ruth’s iucome. wnen he wrote
to tho general to tall him of his renewed
engagement, and the gene al c irried the
letter,to his wife with a smile on his usually
somewhat stern countenance.
“ Well, your boy has got bis own way at
la-t, it seems,” ho said; "and n?that other
wretched woman is dead, and this one we
always heard highly spoken of, I think he
has done very well.”
“And he was always so fond of her,” said
the mother a little tremulously.
“That’s all very fine, but you can’t live
on love now-a-R ys; I am glad for one that
siie’s a good income; and I have no doub* so
is he —or will be.”
