CHAPTER IX.
8AF1—AND LOVED.
Now that we are safe In Spain; now that
Philippa's arrest is a matter of impossibil
ity, and her expulsion from a country so lax
in its observance of international obliga
tions highly improbable, when her guilt can
at the utmost be only suspected, if indoed
«usplcion*ever points to her, I may pass
rapidly over the events of the next two
months; the more so as ray record of them
would differ very little from the description
Of an ordinary tour in Spain. To me, after
the feverish anxiety, the horrible dread as
to what any hour might bring forth, which
had characterized our flight from England,
it seemed something very much like bathos
my dropping at once into the position of the
everyday tourist taking a couple of ladies
on a round of travel; but for the time I was
outwardly neither more nor less.
From Burgos we went to Valladolid; from
Valladolid to Madrid—-Madrid, tho high-
perched city, with its arid, uninteresting
surroundings and abominable climate. | |Not
long did we linger here. Bad and trying as
the English winter may be, the cold of Mad
rid is a poor exchange for it. I had almost
thrown aside the assumed character of an
invalid; but I felt it would be the height of
theomistency, after forcing iny companions
to accompany me m search of warmth, to
make any stay in the Spanish capital. High 1
glad 1 was to io*vo it, and turn my face
southvrard. Philippa was by now in appa
rently good health, both bodily and mental;
but while at Madrid 1 trembled for her, as I
should tremble for «ny one I loved who I
made that city a resting-place—a city swept
from end to end by crafty, treacherous, icy
winds blowing straight from the Guadar-
raina mountains; insidious blasts in which
lurk the seeds of consumption and death.
Boat our leisure we went southward, halt
ing at such places and seeing such sights as
we thought fit; lingering here and there just
so long as it suited us; travelling by easy
stages and in such comfort as wo could
command. At Malaga we spent weeks, rev
elling in thebalmy, delicious air; at Grana
da we were days and weeks before we could
tear ourselves away from the interesting,
absorbing glories of tho departed Moor. We
were in a new world—a world which I had
always longed to see. At last—it was just
at the end of April, when the land was full
of roses, when vegetation was breaking into
that rich luxuriance unknown in the north
ern lands—we turned our steps to the city
which 1 had in my own mind fixed upon os
the end of our wanderings, the half Spanish,
half Moorish, but wholly beautiful city of
Seville; brilliant, romantic Seville, with its
flower-bedecked houses, its grovfs of orange
and olive trees, its luxurtont gardens, its
crookod, narrow streets, its Moorish walls,
it* numerous towers, all of which sink into
insignificance under tho shadow of tho lofty
Gir&lda. All 1 wanted seemed to be here.
Here was everything for the sake of
seeking which I had professed to leave
foggy England—sun, warmth, color, bright
ness. Here I thought, if in any pi
the world, will tho one I love forgot what i
she knows of tho cruel past. Here it may j
be our new life shall begin.
Glorious, «.underfill Seville! The magic
charm of the place fell on my companions
as it fell upon me, as indeed it falls upon all
who visit it. By common consent wo ar-
xwnged to stay our course for an indefinite
time. Perhaps by now wo all thought we
had endured enough of hotel life, and wanted
some place which might bear the name of
home: so, although such things are not very
easy to find, I hired a furnished house.*
Such a house! •
From the narrow street—the need of shade
makes narrow streets indispensable to Se
ville—pan through a light openwork iron
gate into a »|**cious white marble lined
courtyard, or, as the Spaniards call it,
patio; a courtyard open to the sky. save for
the gayly colored awning which is some
times spread over it; a space fragrant to the
four corners with tho perfume of orange and
other sweet smelling blossoms, bright with
glowing oleanders, and musical with the
murmur of fountains. Around the walls
statues, some of the fair works of art, paint-
Vw and mirrors. Every sitting room in
tho house opening on to this cool central
fairyland—a fairyland which, *or many
months of the year, is almost the only part
of the house used in their waking hours by
the Sovillanos. Add to this a garden, not
large but exquisite, full of the rarest and
choicest blossoms, and if you are not hope,
lessly bigoted, and enamored of English
fogs, you must long for such a home in
courtly, beautiful Seville!
With such surroundings—almost those of
a Sybarite—who can blame me for being
lulled into security, if not forgetfulness, and
for telling myself that my troubles were
nearly at an end! Who can wonder at th«
castles 1 built as hour after hour I lounged
in the patio, with its fragrant, soothing at
mosphere and gazed at Philippa's beautiful
face, and now and again meeting her dark
•yes, and sometimes surprising in those
thoughtful depths a look which thrilled my
heart—a look which I told myself was one
of love?
True, that often and often in my sleep I
taw the white, dead face, with the snow-
heap forming over it. True, that often ami
often Philippa's wild cry, "The wagss of
sin—on, on, on I" rang through my dreams,
and I awoke trembling in every limb; but
in the daytime, in the midst of the sweet
shaded repose, 1 could almost banish every
memory, every thought which strove to lead
me back to grief and horror.
The days, each one sweeter than its fore-
runner, passed by. Each day was passed
with Bhilippa. We wandered for . hours
through the marvellous gardens of the Al
cazar; we dreve under the shading trees of
Delicias; we made excursions to Italics
and other places, which the guide-book tells
you every visitor to 8eville should see; but 1
think we found in the ordinary sights, which
were at our very door, as much pleasure as
In any of the stock shows. We loved to
watch the people. We delighted in the pic
turesqoe, ragged-looking, black-eyed Anda
lusian boy-rascals who played and romped
at every street ebrner. We noticed the ex
quisitely graceful figures of the Sevillanas;
I, moreover, noted that the most graceful of
these figures could not be compared to Phil
fppa v s own. We strolled up the awning-
roofed Cnllo do las Sierpes, and laughed at
the curious windowless little shops. Every
thing wee so strange, so bright, so teeming
with old-world tradition, so fall of intense
interest, that no wonder I could for the
time send painful memories to the back
ground.
And PhilippaV Although there were
times when her face grew sad with sad re
membrances; although at times her eyes
•ought mine with that troubled, inquiring
look; although I trembled as to what might
be the question which I seemed to see her
lips about to form; I did not, could not be
lieve she was entirely unhappy. The smile
—a quiet, thoughtful one, yet a smile—was
v oftener aeen on her face. It came now of its
own accord. More and more certain I grew
if nothing recalled the past, or
should say, if nothing filled the blank, so
mercifully left, of that one night, the hour
was not far distant when my love **>uld
call herself happy. Oh, to keep that fatal
knowledge from her forever 1
Such was my Ufa So, in calm and peace,
all but happiness, the days parsed by, until
the hour came when for the thin! time
dared to tell Philippa that 1 loved her—to
tell her so with the certainty of hearing her
re-echo my words. Yes, certainty. Had
not for many days asen her eyes grow
brighter, the grave, thoughtful look leave
her face, her whole manner change when I
drew near! Such signs as these told roe
that the crowning moment of my life was
at hand.
Here for one moment I pause. I acorn to
excuse myself for wishing to marry a woman
who bad been, or supposed herself to have
been, the innocent victim of a scoundrelly
man of the world. I have nothing in com
mon with those who think such an excuse is
needed. Mrs. Wilson's statement that the
marriage was valid might be true or falsa
It gave me the impression that it was true,
and X believed that Philippa could lay claim
to bear the manfa aoouresd name. But
whether aha was Lady Ferrand, or a trust
ing woman betrayed, lor my own sake “
oared little. She was Philippa!
As to my intention of marrying, my

worth tolling—of a man who loved on.
woman passionately, blindly, and without
tonaideration. Bach was my great love Car
la tel
mtfc, and saying that had 1 seen her, in tu\\
foe—slon of bar senses, level that pistol and
shoot her betrayer through his black heart
I should have held that only justice had
been done. 1 should have regretted the act
but nevertheless I would have pleaded foi
her love as fervently and reverently as 1
was now about to plead for it
Once more I say, if you cond .n me
throw the book aside.
Philippa, with her eyas half dosed, was,
aa was usual at that hour, sitting in the po
tto. ■ In her hand she held a sprig of orange
blossoms, and ever and anon inhaled its de
licious perfume; an action, by the by.
scarcely needful, as the whole air was redo-
lsnt of the fragrance thrown from the great
treeftn the centre of the marble apace. She
was, or fancied she was, alone, as some little
time before I had left the court to obtain a
fresh supply of cigarettes; and my mother,
who could never quite adapt herself to the
semi-open-air life, was taking a siesta in the
drawing room. As I saw Philippa in all her
glowing beauty, the white marble against
which she leaned making as it were a suit
able foil to the warm color of her cheek—the
long, curved, black, downcast lashes—the
bosom rising and falling gently—like an in
spiration the thought came to me that in a
minute my fate would be decided. Heavens!
how could I have waited so long to hear the
words which 1 knew she would say!
I crept noiselessly to her side. I passed
my arm round her waist and drew her to
me. I whispered words of passionate love
in her ear—words, the confidence of which
startled me; but then this time I knew that
my love of years was to be rewarded.
She did not shrink away; she did not
struggle to free herself, but she trembled
like a leaf in my embrace. She sighed
deeply, even hopelessly, and 1 saw the tears
welling in her dark eyes. Closer and firmer
I held her, and kissed her cheek again and
again. Had that moment been my last I
should have said that 1 had not lived in
vain.
"Philippa,” I whispered, “my queen, my
love, tell me you love nt© at last.”
She was silent The tears broke from her
eyes and ran down her cheeks. I kissed the
signs of sorrow away.
"Dearest,” I said, "it is answer enough
that you suffer these kisses, but I have
waited so long—been so unhappy; look at
me and satisfy me; let me hoar you say, 4 I
love you!' ’*
She turned her tearful eyes to mine, but
not for long. She cast her looks upon the
ground ami was still silent Yet she ley un
resisting in my arms. That, after all, was
the true answer.
But 1 must have it from her lips. ‘Tell
mo, dearest—tell me once,” I prayed.
Her lips quivered; her bosom rose and felt
The blush spread from her cheek and stole
down hor white neck.
“Yes,” she murmured, "now that it is too
late, 1 love you.”
i laughed a wild lauglu I clasped Philippa
to my breast.
“Too latel” I cried. "We may have fifty
i years of happiness.”
I “It is too lute,” sho answered. "For your
sake I have told you that I love you, Basil.
My love, I will kiss you once—then loose
me, and let as say farewell.”
“When death closes the eyes of one of us
we will say farewell—not until then,” I said,
as my lips met hers in a long and rapturous
kiss.
Then with a sigh she gently but firmly
freed herself from my arms. She rose, we
stood on the marble floor, face to face, gaz
ing in each other's eyes.
“Basil,” she said, softly, "all this must be
forgotten. Say farewell; to-morrow we
must part.”
“Dearest, our lives henceforth are one.”
"It cannot be. Spare me, Basil! You
hnv*! l>con kind to me. It cannot be.”
“Why! Tell me why!”
"Why! need you askl You bear an
honored and respected name; and I, you
know what 1 am—a shamed woman.”
“A wronged woman, it may be, not a
shamed one.”
"Ah! Basil, in this world, when a woman
fa concerned, wronged and shamed mean
the same thing. You have been as a bro
ther to me. 1 came to you in roy trouble;
you saved my life—my reason. Be kinder
still, and spare me the pain of paining you.”
By look, by word, by gesture, sho seemed
to beseech me. Oh, how 1 longed to tel
her that 1 firmly believed she was tho dead
man's wifel 1 had much difficulty in
! checking tho words which were forming on
l my lips. But 1 dared not speak. Telling
her that the marriage was a valid one meant
that I must tell her of her husband's death,
and, it might be, bow he died.
"Philippa,” 1 said, "the whole happiness
of roy life, my every desire is centred upon
making you my wife. Think, dearest, how
when I had no right to demand tho gift my
life was made desolate; think what it will
be whon I know you love me and yet refuse
to be mine! Have I been true to you,
Philippa?”
"Heaven knows you have.”
"Then why, now that you love me, refuse
me my reward?”
"Oh, spare me! I cannot, I will not
give it. Basil, dear Basil, why with your
talents should you marry the cast-off—mis
tress—of Sir Mervyn Ferrand? Why should
you blush to show your wife to the world I”
"Blush! The world! What is my world
save you? You are all to me, sweetest.
You love me—what more do I want? Before
this time next week we will be married.”
"Never, never! I will not wrong the man
I love. Basil, farewell forever!” »
She clasped her hands and fled wildly
•cross the court. I caught her at the door,
which she had reached and half opened.
"Promise me one thing,” I said; "promise
you will wait here until my return. I shall
not be five minute*. It is not much to ask,
Philippa.”
Philippa bent her head as in assent I
passed through the doors, and in a fqw min
utes returned to the patio, accompanied by
my mother, who glanced from Philippa to
me in a surprised way.
"What is the matter?” she asked, with her
cheerful smile. "Have you two youug peo
ple been quarrellingr
Philippa made no answer. She stood with
her lingers interlaced; her eyes cast on tho
ground.
"Mother," I said. “I have to-day asked
Philippa to be my wire. I have told her
that all my happiness depends upon her con
sent to this. I have loved her for years;
and at last she loves me. Yes, she loves

My mother gave a little cry of pleasure,
and stepped forward. I checked her.
‘ love her, and she loves me,” I coo
tinued. "But sho refuses to marry me.
And why! Because she fears to bring shame
on an honorable name. You know her
story; you are my mother. You, of all peo
ple in the world, should bo the most jealous

know whom you would choose for my wife.
Tell her—”
I said no more. My mother advanced
with outstretched arms, and in a moment
my poor girl was weeping in her embrace,
while words which I could not hear, but
whose purport I could well guess, were be
ing whispered to her. I had indeed been
right in trusting to my mother’s noble

CHAPTER X
THK SWORD FALLS.
"Once conquered—once convinced that
the obstacles which bar solicitude for my
welfare raised against my wish were not
insuperable—Phil ippa offered no further re
sistance; while as for me, every day that
might be coanted before I called her my
wife seemed a day spoiled, if not entirely
wasted. With my mother’s arguments to
back my own fervent persuasion, I had no
difficulty in winning Philippa's consent to
onr marriage taking place as soon as the
needful formalities could bs complied with.
And yet, although the day was fixed, it
was at my instance changed, and the cere
mony postponed for awhile.
My reason for deferring my crowning
happiness was this. Knowing all that I
knew, the question arose, under what name
was Philipps to be married! Under her
own maiden name; under the false name
wh^ch for some time Sir Mervyn Ferrvnd,
for reasons best known to himself, had
made her assume; or under that name
which, supposing Mrs. Wilson had spoken
the truth, she was legally entitled to bear?
So anxious, so resolved was I that there
should be no shadow of doubt as to the
validity of her second and happier mar
riage, that aiter due consideration I deter
mined to sacrifice my owiv inclination, and
postpone our wedding long enough to give
me time to pay a flying visit to England,
where 1 could do my best to obtain such
evidence as would show that Philippa was
the dead man’s widow.
I made the excuse that I found many mat
ters of busineas connected with my property
must be attended to before I could be mar
ried. 1 travelled to England—to Liverpool—
as fast as 1 co lid. I stayed there for a week,
and during that time made full researches
into the life and death of a woman who, as
Mrs. Wilson said, had died on a certain
date, and been buried under the name of
Lucy FerranL
The information I acquired as to her ante
cedents is of no consequence to my story.
Whatever her faults may have been, her
history was a sad one; indeed it soemed to
me that the history of any woman who bod
been cursed by Sir Mervyn Ferranti’s love
was a sad one. However, the result of my
investigations was, in short, this: Ferrand
had married tho woman many years ago.
They bad parted by mutual consent. With
his cynical carelessness ue had troubled no
more about her; and, stranger still, she had
not troubled him. Sho died on tho date
given by my informant. The question of
identity could be easily settled; so that if
ever Philippa chose to claim the rights ap
pertaining to Sir Mervyn Ferrand’a widow,
she would have no difficulty in making that
claim giuxL But I trusted that years might
pass before she learned that the man was
dead.
I made my presence in England known to
no one; in fact, 1 felt that in returning to
my native country I ran a certain umount
of risk. For all I know to the contrary,
there might be a warrant out against me.
If suspicion as to the author of that night's
work hail in any way*been directed to Phil
ippa, I, the partner of her flight, could not
hopo to escape free. However, I comforted
myself by thinking that if danger menaced
us 1 should have heard something about it,
as after our first hurried start I had made no
attemptto conceal our whereabouts. It would
havo been useless. My mother had friends
, in England with whom sho exchanged let
ters. 1 had an agent and lawyers with
whom, if only for financial reasons, I was
bound to corroopond. I had been obliged to
write to my stolid William, and instruct
him to get rid of the cottage as best he could,
and to look out for a fresh place for himself,
but all the same 1 did not care to let it
be known that I was now in England.
While engaged upon raking up evidence
on Philippa's behalf, I did not neglect to
make such inquiries a* I could respecting
the event which had happened that night
near Boding. I found that, so far as the
general public knew, the crime was still
veiled in mystery. No one had teen e.rrest-
ed; no one had bean accused; no reason for
the deed hod boen discovered, and as yet
suspicion pointed to no one. Indeed, in spite
of the hundred pounds reward offered by
government, it seemed that Sir Mervyn
Ferrand’s murder was relegated to swell the
list pf undiscovered crimes. By this I knew
that Mrs. Wilson had kept her promise of
silence; and now that months had gone by;
| now that public attention had been turned
from the thrilling affair; now that Philippa
soemed as far or farther than ever from giv
ing any token which suggested the awaken-
mg of re collection of what her wrong, her
frenzy, had prompted bar hund to do un
knowingly, I dared to hoj»e that any chance
which remained of a revelation of the truth
ivas reduced to a minimum. These results
>f my investigations and inquiries gave me
immense relief, and my heart was all but
?ay as, armed with the proofs of the first
Lady Ferrand’s death, I hurried back to
Seville, Philippa, and the happiness which I
vowed should be mine.
We were married. Philippa and I were
married! Married; and a few months ago I
sat lonely, miserable and heart-broken,
deeming that tho one I loved was lost to mo
forever! What matters the things which
have filled thos» months, and made them
the moot painful of my life! To-day wo are
and wife, joined together till death us
do part!
iid no word as to the result of my in
quiries ia Liverpool. I had no difficulty in
persuading Philippa, who in some things
was as simple and trusting as a child, that
it was necessary, or at least advisable, she
should be marriod under the name which
her first certificate of marriage affected to
bestow upon her. She signed her name for
the last it may, for aught I know, have also
been the first time, as Philippa Ferrand;
and I noticed that sho shuddered as she
formed the lettei*s.
Although my bride was by birth half a
Spaniard, and although I had by now in
many ways conformed to tho Spanish mode
of life, we were t.tfll English enough to look
upon going away somewhere for a honey
moon as indispensable. It would be but a
short trip; aud as my mother in our absence
would be loft at Seville alone, or with the
servants only, wo did not care to go very
far away. It so happened that, although
so close to Cadis, we had not yet paid that
town a visit, and thought tho present a cap
ital opportunity for so doing.
To Cadiz we went, and stayed several
days at tho Hotel Paris Wo liked the
•teaming up the dull, sluggish, turbid river,
with the great flat: stretches of swamp land
on either hand.
There were not many passengers on hoard
the steamer. The boat itself was a wretched
affair, and before an hpur was over w«
wished we had chosen the train as a mode of
transit. Mile after mile of tho level deserted
land through which toe river flows passed
by, and presented no objects of interest
greater' than herds of cattle or flights of
aquatic birds. Save that Philippa was by
my side, it was the dullest journey I ever
Of course there were English tourists on
board; no spot fa complete without them.
Two of them, young men, and apparently
gentlemen, had seated themselves near us;
and after the usual admiring glances at my
beautiful Philippa, commenced a desultory
talk with each other.
From the unrestrained way in which they
spoke, and from the strength of some of
their unfavorable* comments on the scenery,
or lack of scenery, it was clear that they
took us for natives, before whom they could
speak without being understood. Philippa
of course looked a thorough Spaniard, and
my own face had tecome so tanned by the
sun that I might have been of any nation
ality.
The young fellows chatted on, quite obliv
ious to the fact that two of their neighbors
understood every word they spoke. For
some time I listened with great amusement;
then tho lulling motion of the steamer, tho
sluggish muddy flow of the stream, the mo
notonous banks past which we stole, exercised
a soporific effect upon me, and I began to
dozo and dream.
Through my dreams I beard a name, a
hated name, spoken clearly and distinctly.
I started and opened my eyes. Philippa's
bead was stretched forward as if sho was in
tent upon catching some expected wor-ls
spoken by another.
“Sir Mervyn Ferrand,” I heard one of out
fellow-voyagers repeat. "Yea, I re*memb.»r
him—tall, good-looking man. . Where is ;.*•
now! He was a bad lot.”
‘•Surely you read or heard about itf* sain
his companion in a toue of surprise.
I touched my wife's arxu. "Como away,
Philippa,” I said.

She inad 5 a motion of dissent. Again I
Urged her. She shuck her head pettishly.
“Ah! 1 f jrgot where you have boen for
months,” said the second tourist, laughing; j
"cut of the pale of civilization an 1 news
papers. "Well, Ferrand was murdered—shot
dead I”
‘Thilipp i, dearest, come, I implore you,”
I whispered.
It was too late! The look on her face told
me that nothing would now move her—
nothing. Sho would hear tho dreadful
truth, told perhaps with distorted details.
I groaned inwardly. The moment I ha l so
long dreaded had come. If 1 dragged lier
away by force—if I interrupted the speak
ers—what good could it do? Sho had heard
enough. She would force me to tell her the
rest. 1 could ouly pray that she would in
no way associate herself with the man’s
death.
"Murdered! Poor fellow! Who murder
ed him!” I heard tho first speaker say.
“No one known. He was shot dead on a
country roadsido just as that fearful snow
storm of last winter began. It seems almost
incredible, but the snow drifted over him,
and until it melted tho crime was not dis
covered. In the interval the murderer ha«l,
of course, got clean away.”
“Boor d -yil! 1 never heard auy good ol
him; but what au end!”
1 was not looking at the speakers. I wa*
noting every change in ray wife’s face. J
saw the color fly from her cheek. I saw hci
lips and throat working convulsively, ns
though she was trying to articulate. 1 saw
her dark brows contract as in anguish. 1
knew that she was clasping hor bunds to
gether, as was hor way when agitated. Sud
denly she turned hor eyes to mine,
and in her eyes was a look of horror
which told me that the very worst had
come to pa.*s—that the dread which hod
haunted me was realized! Then, with a low
moan, sho souk win to and senseless on my
shoulder.
Though in a whirl of despair, I believe
that 1 assumed a kind of mechanical calm.
I seem to remember that the two English
tourists offered their assistance; that, as w€
bore Philippa to an extemporized couch in
the shadiest aud coolest place we could find,

or something of that kin 1. Little did these
youug men guess what their chance ^>rte
had wrought, little could they think that
in shaking of Sir Mervyn Ferrand’s dcatn
they had, perhaps, wrecked the happiness
of two lives. My heart was full of grief aud
fear, but 1 believe 1 bore myself bravely.
In spite of suen restoratives as we could
administer, Philippa’s swoon lasted for a
considerable time. 1 troubled utile about
that tact. Indeed, to me it seemed well that
syncope shouid have «U]«ervened.‘ and, for
time. Unlisted the dreudiul memories which
hud so sudeenly invaded her brain. Could
auch a thing nave been possible, 1 would al
most have w ished that her insensibility would
continue until we reached Seville. But it
was not to be so. By and by she sighed
deeply, aud her eyes open.-d. Consciousness
nnd all its dreaded sequence was hers once
more.
1 spoke to her, but she made no reply. She
turned her eyes from mine; she shunned my
gaze; sho even «eeined to shrink Horn the
touch of my hand. During the remainder
of that dreary journey not one word jmssod
her lips. She lay with her luce turned to
the side of the vessel, heedless of the curious
glances Lrom fellow-passengers, heedless of
my whispered words of love; heedless of all
save her own thoughts—thoughts which led
her, 1 trembled to picture whither.
Through all those long sultry hours, while
tho wretched stearateat plowed its way up
the broad muddy stream, I sat beside her,
trying to find some way out of our sorrow.
Alus! every road was stopped by the im
passable obstacle of Philippa's knowledge of
what she had dona For she knew it, 1 was
certain. That look in her eyes had told me
so mucli. The duration of her insanity had

I.have been familiar for a number of
vearo with the general character of Prof-
llors-fortP* phosphatie penetration*. He
cent examinations made by me of the
"Acid Phosphate' 9 and “Bread Prepara
tion, n show them to be exactly what is
claimed for them in the oircnlars aeoip-
panving the packages. The "Acid
Phosphate” is a concentrated solution in
water of “Acid Phosphate of Lime. The
"Bread Preparation” isa,imxthreof Acid
Phosphate of Lime, carbonate of soda
and Hoar. When mixed with water, car
bonic acid gas is I iterated and a double
phosphate of lime aud soda is formed
and remains in the bread w hen baked.
In ordinary cream of tartar baking pow
ders the substance .left in the bread alter
“raising” is roctielle sails—a double
tartrate of soda :md potash. Tiio phos
phates are useful m?neral substances in
animal nutrition and growth, the tartra
tes are not.
in my opinion, the Phosphatie Pow-
<i« r is, therefore, preieiuble to the others,
so far vs hc&ithl'uiness is concerned.

W. H. BETTS, M. D.,
Jan25-dAwly ATLANTA, GA.
Chaatlr oil fact had opo»
white walled town, rising and shining abov«
the dark blue sea, like, as I havo somewhere
seen it described.a white pearl in a crown of
sapphires; or, as the Goditanos call it,
tazita de plata, a silver cupi Wo liked the
rows of tall ter.-ace topped houses. We
liked the movement and bustle on the quays
and in the port. We likt-d the walks on the
broad granite ramparts, anl the lovely
view of the busy bay and country beyond
it; but all the same^we agreed that Cadis
bore no comparison to our beautiful Seville,
and tho sooner we returned to that gay city
the better.
Now that I bad gained my desire, was 1
happy! After all that had passed, could I
have been happy daring those early days of
our wedded life? As I look back upon them
I sit and muse, trying in vain to answer th«
question to my own satisfaction. Philippa
loved me—she was my wife; come good,come
evil, she was min* forever. In so much 1
was happy, thrice happy. Could I have
lived but for the present my bliss would
have known no alloy.
But there was tlie pastl I could not alto
gether forget the path which had led to such
happiness as now was mine. I could be
thankful that I alone knew all the horron
and dangers with which that path vat
studded. Ialono know the secret of that
night. Although I could keep it for
ever, would it be always a secret?
Yes, and there was the future. Behind
the happiness which was mine at present
larked a dread as* to what the future had in
store for me—for us. It was a dread which
day by day grew stronger. The greater my
happiness the more dreadful the thought ol
its being wrecked. The feeling that my
bouse of joy was built upon sand was alwayi
obtruding on my most blissful hours, and
not, 1 knew, without good reasons.
Philippa’s very avoidance of speaking ol
her past life lent some justification to my
gloomy forebodings. Not once did Sir Mer
vyn Ferrand’s name pass between my wift
and me. Not once did she ask me for any
further particulars concerning the events ol
that night upon which, in the height of her
short liv^d mania, she reached my cottage.
True that upon becoming my wife, and be
ginning a new and happier stage ot life, it
might be but natural for her to wish to con
sign to oblivion tin* wrong, the shame, tb*
suffering wrought by a villain’s craft; yet 1
was so mixed up in the catastrophe that
silence on the subject seemed strange Her
reticence alarmed me I fancied it mmt b*
caused by some vague uneasiness connected
with that night—some doubt which she dared
not eeek to set at reifc It fa, I know, not un»

time. But 1 doubted if her sensitive, im
pulsive nature could ever l>e induced to take
this view of her act. I doubted, had she
not been the woman I loved with a pas
sionate love, if I could have quite absorbed
her from the crime, with the remembrahee
of her word*, “Basil, did you ever Irnto a
man?” still with me.
Yet, strange anomaly. I would, in fair
fight, of course, have shot that man through
the heart an 1 have gloried in the deed. But
then Philippa was a woman, and had she 1 ninttpr fltprA
not been the woman I loved I might have : ^
shrunk from the one who, even in her mad- 1 \rn H1*P HOW loffitod lit
ness, was urged to ta*o such fearful ven- 1 UUlt >V C tlb
geance.
I smiled bitterl V as I thought how a chance
breath of wind had tumbled my houso of
cards to the ground. 1 smiled almost trium
phantly as I told myself that, come what
might—misery-—shame—death—I had won
aud h-ld for a week the one desire of my
life. Nothing could deprive me of that
memory.
Home at last! Still silent, or answering
my questions by monosyllables, Philippa was
brought by me to our once happy home in
Seville. My mother with arch smiles of
welcome on her comely face, was at the gate
of the jtalio ready to receive us. As she saw
her a kind ot shiver ran through my poor
love’s frame. Sho let my mother embrace
and caress her without any display of re
ciprocal affection.
"Philippa fa ill,” I said, in explanation.
*1 will take her to her room.”
I led her to the apartment which my
mother had in our absence fitted up for u&
It was cay and beautiful with flowers, and
there were many other careful .little evi
dences of the hearty welcome which was
waiting u*. Philippa noticed nothing. I
closed the door and turned toward my wife.
She looked at me with those wondrous
.dark eyes, which seemed to search my very
tefii “Basil,” she said, in a low, solemn
vole*, "tell me—tell me the truth. What
had I done that night!"
