CHAPTER IX

An ARtoumllnfiT QuestionPaul on his w y to the door When

the boll ranK and Mr Clifford qntorod-

I want to have a chat with youa they shook hands

MI was to church Paul rapliod-

thinking that U ho romainod at homo Itprobably moant losing several hour ofMargaret company It was thanlikely that Mrs Shonatono would knowhow matter stood and would tell herhuaband then If the judge vlewodsuit with favor h9 would bo sure to askhim to luncheon

My dear fellow there arc fiftytwoSabbaths In tho year cannot you spareone of the mornings to moT said Cut

fordWithout a word Paul led the way tothe and when they woreseated he wilted for his companion tospeak

I eaino twenuee I thought as theJudge soot away tn t a morning youmight b aaainf him tttday I moan toask consent to your engagement to hisdaughter

Paul uttorod an xctam tion of sur-pri

How lid you know I wa engaged toMiss Shenaton he asked

Clifford smiledDidnt I tell you I knew most of your

movements Last night you dined UteHall you walked home and your facetold its own story

Of coats Mr Clifford it may be iathe wrgaJn that you should set a spyon bondman cannot object to whathis master does but I should like toknow if it U one of the servant harewho arts in titat capacity he ajwworodin an angry tone

No There is not a servant in thehouse who knows anything about youThere is one to me by thestrongest ties who brings mo any infor-mation I require abou you but oven hedoes not know tho real nature of ouragreement And now I should like toto the business that brought mo here ItJudge Shenstone consents to your mar-riage with his daughter he will want toknow whet settlements you are preparedto make

Settlements echoed PaulYes the position you occupy it is

ua to hive a marriage settlement Youoin otter to settle on your wife Iexpect as Miss Shenatone is hit heiressthat the judge will want you to take thename of Shenstone You mttit consentand whatever arrraugement he wtehoito make with retard to his estate youmust agree

course I I tore Margaretnot her fathers money or land

Clifford looked at him and there wasmore kindliness in his tone MS be

We all of us feel so once in our livesU we are decent fellows but dont

heart on her The love of a womania not to be counted upon-

I think it is the surest in theworld Money may vanteh and all thegood things of Ute but neverforsakes those she loves saM Paul

Clifford smiled cynically-A mother B love sUuute strong through

everything but the love a woman gives aman changed if she thinks her idol Isuunished I tell you Paul that womendo not love flesh blood men Theyrove gods whom they have created andwhen others stone their goods they turnround and help Dont sot your heart enany woman least of Sit en MargaretShenstone

Why least of alt on herr dentfttrtodPaul

Because it is paid the Shenatonoe havealways boon unlucky In their loves

Yet WHI advised me to woo her

Miss Shenstone i a good match even forthe master of CasOesteads he saidrising

Paul steed up and fated himYou will not consent to mo going to

Judge Shenstone in my own annie andturning nw back on Castleetaadc

No Mor bver if I did the judge wouldnot let you marry his daughter Hewould not trust you

I suppose what you any Is true replied Paul quietly but his face darkened

I think I have said all I camo to sayOf course you will lot mo know It thoaffair is satisfactorily settled

Yes and in shone the two menwalked to the door

Is It any use asking you te lunch atTh Hermitage said Clifford

No thanks I am going to the Hallthta afternoon and with a nod theyparted Paul going back to the morning

After all he told himself It was a goodMr Clifford had given him that

hint about the settlements Then hethought of what he hid said about wom-en and Paul came to the conclusion thatthe man who was the arbiter of his fatehad suffered at the hands of a womanbut because of that It was not fair topeak lightly of a womans love

About 3 oclock he sot ot to walk tothe Hail It was a clear frosty dayand his heart beat high with hope Onceor twice the thought of his true positionraised a cloud but he put it quicklyaway He loved Margaret and h Udnot intend that circumstances that vvorObeyond his control spoilA he entered Allington Park be forgoteverything except that very soon his fatewould he settled The butler Informedhim that the judge was at home andconducted Paul to the library

Mr Cielland the man announcedand Judge Shenstone rose to moot hisguest and invited him to sit down

Mr Shenatonc I have come to askyou to give Margaret to HJQ i love herall my haart he said plunging

into the matterYou ask a good del Mr Clsltend

Margaret in very dear to me and ha hasa iature He paused a momentevidently studying Paul I know vorylittle about you but what I have seen Ilike Still candidly speaking I wouldrather my daughter had married a manof whose past I knew more

Mr Clifford will tell you anything y juwant to knew about me

The judge smiledI know less of Mr Clifford Him ofyou but as Margaret loves I

l ose I must agree to an engagement butI stipulate that the goes nottakp place for six monthsWhy that will be August said Paul

in ruth a disappointed tone that thejudge laughedMy dear Clelland Jt should be the

happiest six months of your life Andnow before you go to Margaret I want

ask you what mays crti to you a veryridiculous question You hoard Lady Lascelles remarks about your likeness tothe missing man Paul Jarret Will youtell me if there is any connection bo-tvvicn you To put it plainly had you

done anything that had caused your father to turn his back on you

Paul was glad the question had boonput in such a farm and looking his com-panion straight in the taco le said

I never did a thing to cause my fath-er trouble I believe I have been whatwould be called a dutiful von As for theresemblance to this man who is heir toa fortune I am quite willing to comelice to face with his landlady or any onowho has known Mm

That is unnecessary Of course Iknow that Lady Lascelles IB imaginativeand a talker still my experience tollsme that strange things often happenand my laughter ia very precious to moBy the way she is my heiress and theShenstones are an old family and I dontknow anything of your people he saidIn an inquiring tone

The Clellanda are of no family Myfather made his money in Australia Hewas very successful My income includ-ing what te invested Is 16660 a yearand I have about as much lying at thehank I could settle 90000 on Margaretor more If you wished

That is sufficient You are quite asrich as1 Margaret will be but as ourname IB an old one I should like youtake it when you become Margarets

You can be known u Olallahd-Shenstone

Why keep the Clellaad My name Isof no Value I am willing to be knownas Paul Shenstone

The other man shrank back at thougha blow had been aimed at him

Paul Shenstone1 He ropeaiddt AndClelland fancied that be regarded himwith a look of aversion No lot it beClolland Shenstone And now you can goto Margaret you wftl find her in thedrawingroom We can discuss the set-tlement I shall make oji my daughterlater

I dont waat anything but MargaretsaM Paul Impetuously

The smiled but whoa the doorhad closed after Paul a grave look sameinto his face and ho became absorbed inthought

Meanwhile Paul had found his way tothe drawiasMoom ansi as ho enteredMargaret iooked around leer face light-ing up with gladness when she saw herJovar-

Ife crossed the room quickly and sttting down beside her 4rew In o hisarms

Yoo are my veryewn be said as hekissed her again and again Then be-spoke in a low earnest tone Margaretpromise me that whatever happens you

be true to m that nothing shellturn you against

She looked up at him Her eyes liketwin stars so clear and steadfast

Paul I shall always be true to youThe whole world could not turn meagainst you because I have given youmy heart But why do you tsar any-thing happening Are you struM MrClifford will not she asked

No I know that Clifford is pleasedbut his wiahee would not have influenced-me and as he spoke with Margaretsbead OB hits shoulder and his arm roundher Paul felt that he would havo defiedJohn Clifford and hade him do his worstrather than have gives up the woman heknrttt and involuntarily he drew hercloser

For a moment taert wa sflwce ThenPaul aid

1 dont like to say IL but Im afraidLady Lascelles may try to mak

You know dear that site thinksall men should be her slaves sadhas never been able to rivet her chaiseround me

Mother has the same impressionsaid ret who however was tootrue a woman to hint that her motherbelieved the fascinating widow was inlove with Paul I wish she would go totown she usually doss for the seasonshe added

Well we wont bother our headsabout I dont think Lady Lascellesor any one else will be able to part usat least not if love me as much as Ilove you and there was anxiety In histone

Margaret smiled ad blusheddot know how much you save tot

me but my very life Is bound up in youPaul I could never love say man

Or I any other woman I s sm toHave been waiting for you my other witonly ioitaitely better

At that moment the door opened andMrs Sbenstone came quietly into theroom but Paul saw at once that therewas an alteration Her fane that usu-ally conveyed the impreariOH that shefound life a bore was tuft of emotionstill hr voice was elm as she said

My husband tells me He has consented-to an engagement between you and Mar-garet I am glad Then she turned toher daughter saying

My dear I have left the book I wasreading Highways and Byways in myboudoir Will you fetch

As soon as the door closedHer daughter Mrs Shenstonoschanged Her whole face became alivewith excitement as she said

Tell me the truth I will kaap yoursecret Are you really Paul Jarrel

CHAPTER X

Question of IdentityPaul gazed at her wonder even more

than fear expressed in his face Howhad she come to suspect the truththe question He asked himself and in hissurprise he forgot for a moment all thather knowledge might cost him

Toll me the truth Are you Paul Jarrot she repented

He pulled himself together realizingwhat this suspicion of hers meant Ofcourse he must it Mrs Shenstonewas one of the last women in the worldof whom he would make a confidant yethe felt could keep a secret it itsuited her to do so but he did not intondtoput himself in her power

Cannot you speak she asked

I was too astonished to answer yourquestion I am not Paul Jarret and Icannot imagine why you should think Iam masquerading under a false name

She came nearer and spoke in a lowbut excited tone

Ena Lasctllra said you were thaof the Paul Jarret who lived in

WWteehapel and he 1 mttting I knowthero are reasons why Paul Jarrot wouldnot come here in his true name but Itell you it ia safe to confide in ma Ishould never tell my husband or Marga-ret and I would be your friend

Ypu ask m to confide something tothat Is to be hidden my intend-

ed wife Im afraid Mrs Shenstone thatyou have a poor opinion of me

She laughed mockinglyDont I know that the man one mar

ries is the man who probably knows lesscf ones secret than any one And thesame applies to women but I want thetruth from you

I nave told you the truthYou dery tfjat you are Paul Jarret

The words were spoken In quick In-terrogative tone

J do I am Paul Clelland and to mysorrow I resemble a man who fs wantedbecause he is heir to half a mInion ofmoney Mrs Shenstone is it likely anyman would conceal his identity when a j

fortune like that was at stakeY s I know of circumstances that

would suh a thing possibleThen tHan who could afford to do

would not have been in theplight Lady Lascelles describes j

Mrs Shenstono was silent She wasevidently considering the matter j

Yes tho man would have to bedespise half a million and to live at

Caatlesteads but oven those items do notbar the possibility of you being Paul Jarrot It may be that while your ftitherlived you wero poor I cnn even guessthe reason You would not be the in-

strument of his revenge so he turnedyou adrift but to face with deathhis heart may have softened or thenshe paused and added in a voice that

halt choked with emotion or youmay be here s the Instrument of your

fathers vengeance That is why I wantto know if you fire Paul Jarret

What If I wore he said watchingher face

Then I should pray that you wouldlot the past bury the past mar-ry Margaret Sho is like her fathergood and Aoble

Mrs Shenstone I Intend to marryMargaret because I Jove her but I knownothing of that past to which you referand I am most certainly not the instru-ment of my fathers vengeance

Then you am not Paul Jarret shesaid in a doubting tone

I have told you I am Paul ClellandWill you tell me what mAkes you thinkthat I am Jnrrot

BecauBo Jarret Thompson the manwho was murdered wsa Paul Jarretagreatuncle and you are the image of hisson Kyle Thompson who would havebeen married to Paul Jarrets mother butfate a very bitter fate intervened Hewas killed on the railway in an awfulsmashup In the north and she marriedanother man

Clelland was silent He longed to ownthat ho was Jarrot and loam from thiswoman who had known his mother mthe past more of his parents But idaoath to Clifford bound him to silence

Those chance resemblances are queerthings he said

Very queer if it te a chance one But-I see you do not Intend me to knowand as I believe you love Margaret I amcontented you should marry her 1 amsure you will novor make her pay forwhat others have done Only one thinsI must ask You will promise not toname what I have said to youto myhusband or Margaret

Did not the Judge knnw the men KyleThompson whom you my I so stronglyresemble

No but if you repeated what I hewnsaid It would rake up something thAt Had1 etter remain bwrle l ara thiiis of whichMargaret is Ignorant

Then I give you my promise not todiscuss this man Jarrot or the resentWants that you say I boar to Isbn

PaulThank you Then she looked keenly

at him Dont you think it strange thattills man Jarret doea not appear to claimthe half no one con giveany information about Him she aaid

No I not long in London but Ishould think It is easy to lose ones siltthere Lady LaseeHes spoke of Himan gaunt and halfstarved What morelikely than that finding life a burdenwhere there was no niche forwont under The river is alwaysfor those who are tired with battling withWe

Dont Oh dont sad elapsedHer Hands appealingly Title she looked

at him I could almost faacy youhad HOB tempted bt that way-

I Why should L tHe favorite of for-

tune want to rush out of life You andI belong to the lucky ones of the earth

Lucky Dont rangtf yourself along-side of me or I shall tell Margaret toHave nothing to do with you I dontthink there is a mere miserable wretchon earth than I Talk about the riverwaiting If I could Have screwed up mycourage I should Have frowned myself inthe lake long are But remember Iam telling you my secret thoughts Some-how I feel that I can trust you

You may rely on me Mrs ShouKoceBut I should like to ask you one ques-tion I thought of it whoa Lady Lascelles was talking to me about this manJarret Who is likely to inherit the

U he U not foundShe put up Her bands as though

oft a blowDont ask me that tHe crown

may take if Then as the door openedaad Margaret entered sHe seated herselfwith Her back to the light

I am sorry motfcer I could not andtHe book either ia your boudoir or yourbedroom said Margaret

It doesnt matter I believe Its oathat table But Mr Cteuantf aad I havehad a nice little chat sad goto to atable in a recess she took up a took andloft tHe room

You look very grave the girl re-

marked looking at Her lovjrI ought net seeing tHat I Have got

the desire of my Heart Only yourimposed a condition said PaulA condition she echoedYes The Judge says we must not

think of being married under sixmonths

Margaret laughed and blushed-I didnt think of it being so soon

belong to each other tHat to Happinesswithout looking aHead

But will you be my wife at tHe endof six months August gtorioug timefor a honeymoon Where shall we go

Margaret smiledDont let us trouble about tHe tutors

I am so happy that I feel as thoughevery moment was precious I can Hanily Imagine such bUss lasting

My darling dont tempt Providence bydoubting You deserve all good things

Dont Pul you jwill make me vainBut I have had such a happy life butfor Then she Hesitated and added

But for mothers health At times shesuffers acutely with nerves Now thiscrowning joy has come

At that moment the butler entered withtko tray and Mrs Shenstone and Herhusband appeared

Paul watched his hostess sis she pouredout the tea he found it hard to 09Hove that she waa the same woman asthe one who had been almost tragic inher earnestness

Will you dine with us tonight Clelland asked the judge

PaulYou would have time to go home and

change or we wllf have you as you arehe sold with a smile

I should like to accept your Invita-tion hut I think I must walk over to theHermitage after dinner said Paul

I understand Well we shall expectto see a good deal of you

Im afraid you will find me a awlsanoe replied Paul smiling-

I dont think Margaret will indorsethat said Mrs Shtnstone Im surethe judge and I will always be glad tosee you

Shortly after this Paul took leave andMargaret went with him through theconservatory which opened on to oneend of the lawn

Goodbygiy darling you have mademe very he said as he kissed

self if he aefafl ever b really Happy insuch a fase position Moreover It waspossible that atJrn day the truth mightbo revealed Would Margaret forgivehim He father would be mercHess Well he must do his boat to blindevery one He had toll the judge hewas willing to face Paul Jarrets landlady and if needful he would do it

A WOMANS DESK

Correspondence boUt in businessand its social is not the art thatIt might be especially amaeg womenaad this may be due in fact must be dueto some extent to the condition of awomans deak

For if this be a place strewn with unletters if its poodle ara never

sharpened and its pone are dulled withrust if the ink well continually needsfitting if blotters are scarce if one isnever certain of the supply of note pa-per It stamps are the exception ratherthan the rule if the whole desk bearsthe appearance of froquent rummaging inthe search of missing articles then whatIncentive is there to sit down and write

But think of the possibilities of a wornaas writing desk orderly and well equip-ped A desk can be imagined so pleasingla contents and arrangement that itwould Invite correspondence

Three aiaes of stationery should stockthis wellequipped desk a small slae fornotes Invitations regrets a medium sizefor regular everyday correspondenceand a larger size that is often used forthe long homo letters and sometimes forbusiness correspondence

The colors of letter paper for socialuses are governed by Delicatelytinted papers appear from time to timeand then disappear White stationeryplone is always in good taste and always

style A fabric paper in gray or paletints that are almost white is

just ndw for both business and so-cial use

The shape of stationery is governedalso by styles The tendencyis toward square sheets and oblong enveJopo which have the advantage ofgreater space for writing the addressThe latest fad in imported stationery isa sheet only about four inchos wide andlong enough to be folded two or threetimes to fit its envelope

Whether the monogram address orcrest shall be used on stationery are matters of individual preference They areperfectly correct if they are desired although monogram or crested paper shouldnot be used when writing to a tradesman The place for those marks muy bethe first page sometimes the fourth Thoaddress appears usually on the first pageabout threequarters of an inch from thetop and in the center or In the righthand corner

The use of the crest and motto onstationery is a masculine privilege Thowife may correctly use liar husbandscoat of arms Upon the unmarried

letter paper the family coat ofarms may be used only in the shape ofa lozenger that is the outline of thecoat of arms is inclosed in a diamond orovalshaped disk

In country homes stationery is some-times marked with the address for talograms the name of the railroad stationand the address for loiters A uniquemarking of the stationery for the country house just now is to have tiny en-gravings of a railroad station a mail-box and a telegraph pole with tho nameof the station postoffice address andtelephony number printed opposite themTitle marking is of course a great con-

venience to outoftown friendgThis desk wo are furnishing might well

add to its stock a supply of correspond-ence cards square cards Just the size oftheir envelopes Those will be foundmost convenient for nates invitationsand acknowledgments They are sometimes ongrnved with monogram or ad-dress

The ink kept on the model d k mustbe black as that color should always IK

used for writing notes and letters
