I CAN NOT TELL YOU.
“Will you marry mo, Violet, aa
your father wished f ”
Tbe girl turned and laid her hand
in tbe questioner’s with the simple
answer, confidingly uttered:
“I will.”
And then Violet Allyn was be
trothed to Carrol Dauton, just one
day after tbe cruel stroke that had
left her fatherless.
She was but sixteen, and lore, as
she was to know it in later years,
was a sealed page to her os yet; but
her whole respeot and esteem had
been long since won by tbe noble
man whom her father bad loved
during tho last years of bis life as
a son.
Carrol Danton was twice her age
and bad seen much of tbe world,
but surely never in any clime could
his eyes have rested upon a love
liness more perfect than that of
Ms betrothed.
In her deep mourning garb, her
sweet face, surrounded with its
aureole of pale gold, seemed to him
as fair as an angel is.
They were married, and a brief
happy year flitted by.
Though outwardly the same,
Violet was a child no longer.
With her new life and duties new
thoughts and capabilities had
sprung into immediate being, and
an emotion, over-mastering and ab
sorbing, bad taken its dominion
witbin ber heart.
Her love for her husband in its
intensity almost irigbtened herself,
and it served to render her shy of
expressing herself through actions
or words, lest she should appear
ridiculous; and thus, though lie re
cognized tho affection that was so
thoughtful for bis every comfort,
Carrol little dreamed of the real
uepth ofthe tenderness that filled
bis young wife’s heart for him.
Although it occupied a large por-
tion of his time to attend to the
extensive estate which his wife had
brought him, Carrol’s own business
interests, which he had retained,
notwithstanding his wealthy mur-
th * riage, compelled his occasional ah
scnce from home.
At such times, at his desire, his
cousiD, Maria Danton, about his
ewn age, and therefore much older
thnn Violet, installed herself at
Allyn Hall as companion for his
young wife.
Could Carrol have looked into
the future, he would as soon have
placed a viper amid the boquet of
fragrant flowers which was his
daily offering to bis wife, as to have
introduced into bis happy home
one who camo there with the in
tention fully formed of working, If
it came within her power,no good,
but deadliest harm.
All her life, despite entire lack
of encouragement, Marla Danton
bad loved ber cousin. She was very
plain, and keenly sensitive to the
lact, and from the first Violet’s
beauty had aroused a demon of
jealous hatred within her breast.
But she bad managed to conceal so
well her real feeling under a garb
of cousinly affection and interest
that Violet, as Carrol, had been de
ceived.
She had been at the Hall three
weeks, during which Carrol bad
been away from home. His return
was expected at tho expiration of
another week, bnt unexpectedly,
he came several days sooner.
Date one evening, full »l eager
ness to see once more the dear lit
tle wife from whom lie had been

“Then give me the explanation I j declaration,

before, and to enjoy her surprise,
be entered the drawing-room un
announced, to lind Maria there
alone.
An hour passed. Satan had
placed at last tho coverted oppor
tunity witbin Maria Hanlon's icacb,
and she used it so skillfully, vail
ing ber malice undo! an aspect of
secrets. I can give my trust cither
in all, or not ut all. Violet, as
your husband, 1 command you to
tell mo who it is you have met
clandestinely every night for a
week.”
At the conclusion ofhis sentence
an indignant light flamed in Violet’s
face.
“I sec now who it is that has
poisoned your mind against me,”
•he oried. “No one but Maria could
have known so much concerning
my movements. Carrol, if you
chooso to believe and trust her
before your wife, I have nothing
further to Bay or plead.”
“Then you rofuse to tell mo what
X ask? Violet, I havo given you a
husband’s affection; it suiely calls
for something better than reserve
and duplicity. For the sake of
your own happiness and mine, I
implore you to he frank. Inno
cence has no fear; it is only guilt
that cowers and trembles.”
But though tears drenched her
cheeks, “I cannot tell you what
;’ou ask,” was all the answer Vio-
et gave to hor husband’s moving
ippeal.
More words passed, angry and
bitter upon one side, passively
heard on the other; and then the
husband and wife parted, and Vio
let was left aiono in her girlhood’s
home, a child in years, with more
than a woman’s heritage of suffer
ing.
The next morning, without wait
ing to hid farewell to tbe hostess
whose happiness her secret spito
had blasted, Maria Danton left the
Hall.
Six years have now run their
course since the above. It is morn
ing, and upon tho sands of a quiet
watering place two gentlemen arc
strolling together—one handsome,
with a frank, good-humored face,
the other tall, dark and very grave.
“I’m so glad I fell in with you,
old fellow,” the younger one is
saying. “Whore have you kept
yourself since wo met in Paris?”
“Abroad,” is the answer. “I
only returned last week, impelled
by a longing to set foot onco more
upon my native soil; but 1 find now
that I’m here that I havo no desire
to remain. The associations revive
the pain too keenly. I shall take
the next steamer out again if noth
ing happens to change my determi
nation.”
Mark Blair looked up into the
dark taco beside him curi Jusiy; but
he had not known his companion
long cnougli to possess the clew to
his gloom.
With ready tact lie turned tbe
conversation.
“Well, while you aro here you
might aa well have a little social
CDjoymcnt. What say you I o mak
ing a call with me to-night? I
have an aunt who lias a villa hero
who is the soul of hospitality, and
would be charmed, I know, to
make your acquaintance. Will you
come? By-tbe-byc, she has a
friend visiting her who !b us beau
tiful as a Peri, and is a magnificent
musician.”
Tbe latter is an inducement,”
Mark’s companion answered. “I
am passionately fond of music, but
I fear my society manners are
sailiy out of repair. However, ii
you wish it, I will accompany you
willingly.”
And so at 9 o'clock, just as the
young inoon flings her pale radi
ance over the waters, the gentle
men walk slowly along the path to
the villa, whose grounds slope in a
succession of terraces down to the
sands.
As they near the house they

with you alone. Ob, Violet, thank
you, thank you, for ginnting it to
me at last. Surely, you know
what I am going to tell you—how
madly, desperately .1 love you.
Violet, your manner to mo has
never given me any encourage
ment, but I can not believe that I
am wholly indifferent to you. Such
devotion as mine must win somo
return.”
A soft voice interrupts him.
“Do not thank me, Cousin
Ralph, 1 ’ it says; “I indeed under
stood your desire for an interview,
but I havo only granted it to you
to show you the hopelessness of
your attachment.”
“Why hopelessness? There is
utter despair in that word. You
aro your own mistress; young and
beautiful, capable of loving and of
inspiring love. Why say ‘hopo
lessness?' “
“Because,” comes the sad reply,
“it is the right word for me to use,

Ralph, I am now going to tell you
something that will cause you
pain, and what, hud it not been
for this avowal, you would never
have known.”
“One day, as you remember,
six years ago, you came to my
houso, in the absence of my hus
band, to beg from me the means of
assistance and concealment. In
a fit of passion you bad challenged
a fellow-student to an unlawful
duel. You had fought and had
tied, wounded yourself, from tbe
field where you bad left your con
testant, as you thought, mortally
injured.
“You had succeeded In reaching
tho Hall before the alarm had been
sounded and the pursuit begun
I listened to your alory with hor
ror. You implored me, by tho
ties of blood and old acquaintance,
and for the honor of your mime,
to hide you until your hurt should
be healed, and you uould make
your escape to another country. I
did so.
Tiie excitement in the town ran
high, for tho young inan whom
you had wounded lay between life
and death; but by an imminent risk
to myself, I concealed you in an
empty tool house witbin my own
park, and ministered myself to
your wants. By my action in
thus befriending you I ruined my
whole life.
“My husband returned two days
before you effected your escape.
A treacherous momber of my house
bold aroused his suspicious. My
solemn promise hound me in iron
fetters, and when be questioned
me, and implored mo, if it were
indeed possible, to explain my
mysterious nightly absccncs from
my home, I was obliged to remain
silent.
“All that sustained me through
that dreadful interview was the
hope that in a brief while you
would bo far away aad safe from
tho disgraceful "consequences of
your rashness, and that then I
could tell my husband all. But
that hope was not to bo realized.
“He ieft mo iabitter anger, and
I have never seen him since, nor
heard from him, until a year ago a
friend abroad sent me papers con
taining the account of the toss of
a French steamer, one of whose
ill-fated passengers he was. I
thought then 1 should die, but God
willed it otherwise.
“Cousin Ralph, surely now you
will never approaeh me again upon
a subject that can only add one
more pang to tbe sorrow that
through you—I mast say it, though
it wound you—must forever bar
the entrance of happiness into my
heart.”
There is a moment’s pause, then
a man’s voice breaks it:
“And it was my hand that
wrought you this suffering! Though
he I wounded recovered from bis
hurt, and my band is free from the
blood of a fellow-being, I have
slain a soul Cousin Violet, forgive
ms if you can—I can never forgive
myself.”
There is a sound ol retreating
footsteps, and of a woman’s sob,
then, unable to control any longer
the emotions that impelled him,
deserting his friend, and climbing
with agile qulekness up the balco
ny supports, Carrol Danton stands
before tbe wife he had lost but bad
never ceased to love, despite the
torturing doubts thai, had embit
tered tbe last dark years.
“My wife 1” be cries; "my Injur
ed Violet I It is your husband,
not dead, but alive abd beside you,
who has heard your exoneration
from your own lips. Do you not
know me? Do not shrink from
me. It is indeed your Carrol, ask
ing upon bis knees pardon for tbe
sorrow he has caused you to suf
fer.
Tbe cry Is full ofsn unutterable
agonized longing, and as Violet
hears end fells herself gathered
close into an embrace that proves
beyond mistsko tbe life and well
being of tbe husband she bos deem
ed dead, happiness once more
springs joyously baok to the Ihrone
to which it haB been a stranger-for
so long and dreary a while.
And thus Mark Blair learns tbe
secret of bis friend’s sadness, and
feels no small gratification at bis
own share in tbe blissful reconcilia-
tion. •_ -
