ALAN GERMAINE’S WIFE.
DV M.VliTHA ELT.EEK HOI. AH AN.
“Posing for effect,” thought
Philip Varicn, a scornful smile in
his fine gray evos.
A moment ho paused, surveying
the half-shadowed figure. It was
bonding as if unconscious of anoth¬
er presence than its own, above a
great bank of white hyacinths,
and with tender hands caressing
lliC *axcn petals.
his habitual nonchalant
grace 31 r. Varien crossed the per
fumed room to her sido.
fg\ii ss Germaine!”
The figuro started, and stood !
croet—a supple, lissome, beautifui
figure in a garment of clinging ;
blark
How perfectly it revealed the
sjramoUy It covered!
He had fully expected to reo
pretty, affected face, blushing with
rouge, and coquettfsb,, conscious 1
blue eyes. ,
He saw instead a face which,
through alt tho years to
should stand out upon the tablet of
his memory as He most per
fect face a woman ever boro.
A daintily chiseled, pale
but so pure, so wondious
that its very pallor became droops an ad-;
ded beauty. A sweet-lipped,
ing mouth, yet haughtily curved;’
and eyes so beautiful, so .dark, s©
proud and almost do(l:\fft,'yet with
al, so wondrous sad, That they
touched the great, chivalrous heart
of tho tall, distingue man before
her.
A brief moment they stood look¬
ing at each other as strangers rare¬
ly look. Then:
“I am not Miss Germaine,'’ said
a cold, sweet voice. “I will send
her to ) oo.”
Then, liko some beautiful dream,
she was gono, taking with her the
finer essence of a man’s heart. Oh>
to stand again gazing into those
wondrous eyes, and thrilled as nev¬
er woman’s c) T es had thrilled him
before!
A • -•! what a trifling thing can
change the whole current of an ex¬
istence. A glance, a lone, nr.d life
was never to be the half-souled,
sordid thing of the past again.
Ito had c«me a conventional sui

He would bo eager!}' accepted and
duly married, and go to bin grave
at length—-a something within his
being never complete,
Now—
Heavens! What a different man
was this standing*, conscious of pas
slon, pain, yearning, in tho
ows, to the half-hearted cynic who
had so lately entered them to
atl unconsciously upon his fate!
He would never many pretty,
worldly Vera Germaino now-nev
er! Bather would ho forever hold
and idolize the mere memory and
shadow oi the woman who ,had ris
en between them—who had, all nn
soasciously, perhaps, opened his
rusted heart to emotions so
fill as to stagger even himself.
He bent above the white hya
cinths through which her hands
had strayed upon which her won
iirous eves had rested to bless
them forever.
Impulsively he bent, and, quick¬
ly severing one from its stalk,
pressed his bearded lips upon it.
then secreted it in his oosotn.
What a mad, strange thing for a
man ci the world to do—a rnan who
had always so lightly tossed aside
the flowers white, jeweled hands
fastened in b:s buttonhole!
Presently Mias Germaine, flutter
ng with pleased excitement, found
him.
“I am so sorry you have waited,’
*he said, sweetly. “So stupid ol
the servants not to announce you
;t once.”
“One of them told me j*ou were
alone r> rt y. I found
iad^bcrc: looking but J — ci tender !l his lifo he

forcible still when ho lowered hia

•It most have been Dulce, Alan’s
wife. They havo just returned
•to:.; i! ho.—, you 1::. It
her maid who .old me yo u w.'ulo
here.”
A sudden. -tr paih shot
through Philip's being. Married
married—and beyond his reach! A
darkness fell upon his sight. Why
what was all the world now?—a
hideous, mocking nightmare. I-Ic
had awaked to tho knowlodgo of
^‘ 5S su P l *cme, only to fiud it had
escaped'him.
“Dulee! Alan’s wife!

Somehow-just how ho never

almost dm en him mad with her
senseless society chatter. Ever.

that face, hear that voice again*
poor fool, hoped to lure
inl0 an °P cn declaration in the
soft semi-lit and heavily porfumod
conservatory whore sho had that
day lost her last chanco of over
bearing his name,
Oh, tangled threads of Fate, how
far wc come from ever unraveling
thy intricacies!
After dinner Philip sauntered
down to his club, lie was on a
menlal rack. Why this was the
voidest madness; and all for an un¬
1 known woman’s faco. Ah, but
such a face! Easily indeed had he
“Given all other bliss,
And all his acridly wealth for Ihls
To waste his whole soul iu one kiss
Upon her perfect lips!”
“I suppose 3 ’ou also are duo at
the Germaino affair, Varien,’’ sug¬
gested a bon camarado, slapping
him genially on tho shoulder.
‘ Dumlej' here and I aro going to
' adore Langtrj’ from afar in the in
fcrval. Better join us.”
“Anything al all,” he answerod,
and scon they vrero in a luxurous
box overlooking the crowded cp
crashousc.
Little enough the ploy interested
Varien. lie was restless as an oid
woman to bo away.
Ilis keen bye? Rwopt the ‘‘sea of
upturned faces,” and* downturned
ones, also, in search of that one
faco which had suddenly become
tho on’y one on earth to hirn-in
vain.
“By Jove!’ suddenly exclaimed
his genial companion. “There’s
Germaino. Didn’t know ho was
back. Same old dog, though*’
Philip had heard of, but never
seen, Alan Germaine. Out of
scrutinizing eyes he surveyed him
now—a distinguished dashing
looking man, with a certain kind
of evil beauty in a face upon which
w*s yet stamped in every turn the
debauchee.
Beside him sat a beautiful Hondo
rerv young, who showered smiles
in all directions,
Is that his wife with him?’ ask
<?d Vai*ien, caroTessiy.
Well he know it was not. Val
more shot him a gianco of disgust,
‘No. Catch Germaine in an’y
thing so respectable n3 bin wife’s
company! That’s Manila, the
popular danseuso. Pretty little
reprobate!’
‘-Hy the way,’ put in Dumley,
‘1 saT/ wife tho other day.

things purelooJr.ng— a very divin>
lt >\ Where and how on earth did
Germaine capture hor? Toil know
everything, \ aimore, or profess to
f ^° sa > r,n ^ ^ a social ignoramous.
But I do confess a desire for en
Hghtenment on this score.’
Valmore shrugged his shoulders
and jerked his long mustache.
‘Old Germaine, villainous old
scoundrel!—beg your pardon, Va
r ’ cn — was her guardian, and she
hud oceans of money, but no friends
—beyond the Germaines. She was
an innocent, artless iittlo thing!
an( !» presto: it was tho
thing in the world. Clever peopl o
can cranage to compromise aye be;
S irl ver v cnail Yl and clever

^ IflH
good foundation, I know.’
Varien sat looking off across the
stage as if intent on the scone, and
nothing beyond.
‘I always know,’ said Dumlej,
•that Germaino was a end, but, by
Jove! not as bad as that. How
tremendously ho wagered on those
Sheepsheud races—and lost! Ncv
or saw him hot and win in my lifo!'
‘Preset.t me to Alan Germaine’s
wife, Valmoro,’ said Varien, when
they met in the crushed
‘Your yarn awalcenod tny
hood. I want to behold tho Pul
cinoa of my chivalry.’
‘She’s pretty frigid, old fellow’,’
was tho laughing retort. ‘To her
men all are woithless. But come
on to your doom. I just caught a
glimpse of her entering tho conser¬
vatory.
She was bending over the same
wh’to hyacinths. Tho heart under
a pillfc’rcd one throbbed madly as
she lifted her head with a haughty
bow whou Valmoro presented his
friend.
Tho former then boat a hasty
rotreat; and oneo again theso two
stood face to lace, and looked long
and silently into each other’s eyes.
Then suddenly sho bent again.
‘Do you liko hyacinths?' she
asked softly.
‘From to day and forever—yes.
I lovo them*’
Much ho would have given to re¬
call that rash, impulsive speech.
A pink shade crossed ihc perfect
face, thon recoded, leaving it paler
than before—a trilie haughtier.
Then:
‘Oh. Mr. Varien!’called a pretty
affectod belle. ‘Hero you are at
last. Mrs. Germaine was quite
afraid yon had escaped; and Vera
was frantic. Bo 1 buckled on
armor, and coming forth—behold!
tho’lion.*
After that Philip Varien and
Duico Germaino met often.
If it is design on tho pari of tho
noodle when it socks tho magnet,
then on tho part cf Varicn it
design.
With Dulce it was simply fate
war. Sho foresaw no
poor world-weary child.
The friendship of this
grand man was grateful to hci
heart.
‘8hn loves Alan so; nnd bo is so
reckless and careless of ber, it
breaks her heart, poor thing,’ Vera
told him one day.
And if she bad been a mam, be
would have stricken her down for
the words.
As it was, he gnashed his white
teeth in silent rage,
Ono day Philip, Vera and Duico
were out riding in the park. With
great difficulty he had persuadod
Dulce to go. A 3 it ho belonged to
Vera, she always sought to leave
them alone together. It almost
maddened Varien beyond ondur
ance.
Of late, also, her face had grown
whiter and sadder, her eyes Jargar,
less proud, in them ho road a tale
which gladdened and maddened
his senses. Loudly his heart erfod
out fond words his will a id honor
repressed,
-They had come to a turn in the
drive, and wero pausing for n
glance down a sido avenue, when
suddenly a sweet, shrill laugh jar
red tho silence, and a glittering
carriage dashed by- In it reclined
Murillo and—Alan Germaine,
Dulco’s face became rigid, and
Varien clinched his hands. Vera
ar.d avorteci-her face.
It was hard to be silent then; yet
