The Secret and Its Shadow.
“Betty, did 1 ever think that one <la 1 I
wm.ild have the right to ask yon to be my '
wife’” Jack Rimmington's voice was very;
tender as he bent over the girl sitting in;
the stern of the punt among the ga> iy 1
stripped cushions. ‘ Yes e day I had only
hopes and dreams, yest<-rda> I was • ■ills
a poor beggar wincing whenever your
name was mentioned, dreading every day
to hear your engagement to F’aul Saxe.
Today I can go to your father and ask
for you without fear of refii il.”
The girl laughed, tilting her face to
his. A charming oval face, framed in
hair of that brown which is hu ed with !
gold, and eyes of a soft s. a-gray that
were full of laughter.
“Oh. Jack.'’ she said. It's all fright
fully nice and wonderful: but I wish
you'd come down out of the clouds and
explain. You don’t forget that Mr. Saxe
is a millionaire of sorts, when \on claim
to be his equal?”
Her tone was one of tender mockery,
but her eyes were qucst oning. What
had happened since yesterdax to make
this man she loved, this semi-penniless
engineer, ready to make claim for her to
her father, who had treated him witii
such slightly veiled contempt ?
Bettx Lumsden was ver\ fond of net
father. but her fondness did not blind her
to several unpleasant facts regarding him
his love of money, the ugly ambition
which filled him that she should make a
match which would enable her to out
shine in every way the ♦dd» , r sister whose
marriage to Anthony Barrington, the art
ist. he had so thoroughly disapprove!
Before her marriage Edith bad been iii<
favorite, “but to be u th while w’. th
those we love doth work like madness in •
the brain.” and Sir George limsdensl
dislike of his wealthy artist son-in-law |
was rapidly approaching a man a.
Rimmington bent and kissed lur.
“By n<> manner of moan-.' ho said. “I |
forget nothing, i don't even mean to.
pretend that 1 am in reality Saxe s equal,
though after all. for all ’ is pretensions,
do any of us know exactly what that
means? < mly whereas yesteniu: I wa -a
poor man, in a week s time ' shall be a
rich one. I didn't mean to speak today,
only the madness swep’ over nc . Getty,
at touch of your hand, tin look n your
eyes”
Words of Love.
Their lip-’ met. and the flood swept
him again.
•‘1 love you, Betty Betty. 1 love you’.
The words lovers have whispered from
the beginning of time sounded divinely
new in their ears.
•■But I still don't un< ■ rsiand, Jack.’'
She drew awa.V from him, the first to
speak.
Rimmington's fare (•hanged a little, sit - :
ting there in the punt, his head outlined •
against tlie exquisite varying
the trees that stretched upwards from the
riverside in serried ranks, hr looked ad
mirably in tune with the Thames-side
scene. Bike it. he was typically English |
and good to look upon, with his tanned |
skin and clear-cut face „ ■
“I'm afraid I can't explain today, dear, .
he said “The secret is not wholly mine;
but in a week’s time then 1 shall come
and claim you before the world. Only a
week 1 only ask your patience 1 r a
week.”
“I don’t think' I iike secrets, Betty
said, her voice a trifle plaintive.
“1 simply loathe 'em ” Rimmington
said, promptly .
•But this one is inevitable it sounds
as tn o ugh I were trying to tantalize you,
but when you know you’ll so thoroughly
understand. HD voice took on a coax
ing note. And. after all the whole thing
l;1 ay be through before the week is out.
Hvervthmg is a little nebulous at pres
ent I didn't even know I have i- leave
Weybourne till the mid-day post, and
then 1 punted up for all I vis worth.
B\ Jove! There were some 1 didn't even
open.” He slipped his hand into the
pockei of his flannel coat and drew out
some letters “One from poor old Toby,
too no. though, it isn't Do you mind
if I open it .’”
Betty' nodded and turned away She
always felt a certain embarrassment
whenever Toby Rimmington s name wis
mentioned. Jack Rimmington's yonnyr
and exceedingly charming brother, who
p a .< left England so precipitately six
months ago. ami whose name, by some
tacit consent, was never mentioned in
•ho Red House, where Jack lived with
the puritanic old uncle and aunt, who
seemed the oldest relation..- for any one
like him to have.
Her eyes wandered It was very still
~}■»• in that private hv. a.io-i, where
the i’li‘*s looked up open-< jed at tot
| sky. showing like lozenges of vivid blue
through ‘ht lazily-moving foliage. The
| sun si.) di mg through the willow under
jneith which ’be i was run made a
tliekei irg. b as-s; >tb-d patterns on her
i gown. The air was full of scented warmth.
! She w '• ahsoiu’s'ly and entirely happy
as only the woman who loves and knows
herself loved ran be.
An exclamation from the man at her
side made her turn. Rimmington's face
was ghastly The hand that held the open
letter shook.
“Has anything happened? Oh, Jack,
what is it?”
“Toby.” he said. “Boor -old Toby'”
She caught another low-muttered word
“fever” as he turned away, his mouth
working.
Rimmington could have said no more.
A sicken’ng sense of reaction swept
over him To have been sitting here
full of life and and joys of
life and a” the time the letter which
told of Toby’s death lying unopened in
his pocket! While he held the woman
he loved close to his heart, cold Mother
Earth had been clasping Toby to her
chill breast. Toby the very childish
name was like a hand about his heart
strings.
“Jack I'm frightfully sorry.” The
girl’s voice came to him, almost start
ling him for the moment even she had
been blotted out. Her hand stole round
his with a soft, warm clasp.
“Yes: it’s pretty awful to feel that while
' a you are a true follower of Isaac /

V; 1 dollar, and, for a short while, take

ie’s been so happy one's brother’s been
' ir.urdered.” he said.
“Murdered!”
A startbd note beat in the girl's voice
It recalled Rimmington to himself. “No.
not that, little girl. Betty, I'm a brute
■ for frightening you; only this news has
thrown me off my balance: but it was
moral murder!” he added, doggedly. “The
’ men who hounded him out to that death
trap in West Africa are as fully respon
sible for his death as though they had
! put a bullet through him.”
A new tone had come into his voice
rendering it hard ami bitter, almost
unrecognizable as that of the man she
i loved. Betty glanced at him appre
hensively and sftw his face changed also
the face of a stranger, filled with a
sudden malignant hatred. He turned on
her almost sharply
! “Did you believe him a blackguard, liko
i the rest?”
’Toby.’ Why, he was the dearest
boy—”
The girl's eyes had a bewildered sur
prise.
7 “Yes, one of the best; you’ll hear
i him called ugly names. I know what
i your father will say of him.”
i “Oh. father! You mustn’t mind him.
’ Jack. He doesn't mean half that he
• says. Rut tell me about Toby if it
i won t hurl you very much. I'd love to ,
know. You see, I understand a little I
what you feel. dear. He was to you
• something like what E<lith is to me. And
that well, it's not to be put into words.
I But I'd give my life to save her from the
I shadow of a heartache.”
The Old Story.
• He looked at her gratefully .
"Oh. it’s the old story—of a foolish hoy
and his money and how he fell among
thieves."
It was a story painfully new to the ears
<»f the girl who listened, this tale of the
hoy with his passion for life and his
fatal rapacity for making friends who had
outrun the constable so hopelessly and
come to final, irretrievable grief over the
York meeting—just a year ag->
