Her full face was toward him for a moment, then a mist came before biseyes,a cold tremor par- alyred bis limbs. it was his lost wife. He knew her at once. Death made no obstacle, years no difference, mystery none! His very being recognized her, apd bAlUre itself stood amazed. For « time all power of thought seemed lost. He beld on to the rail with a biind sort of in- stone! , and kept his face turned the way she bad gone with s vague thought that she would return. And thus he stood until a hand touched bis sbonlder, and a man, who bad been standing by him, said— “You are ilt, sir. Let me get you a cab.” Hervey started, and made a faint effort to bring his mind back to its usual power. “Thank you,” he stammered, “I am not— yes, I believe 1 am ill. 1f you will be so kind,” he fumbled in his pocket fora card. “1 have had a strange adventure. The dead has come to life. I—but 1am wandering. Don’t mind me Without any remark the man who had of- fered bis assistance took Hervey’s arm, and ding him to the nearest gate, bailed a cab.

The stranger (or mariten, for he was one surely) opened it, a taking & eard, gave it to the cabman. “L'li go with you.” he said jumping in after Hervey, “I owe you as much,” and then was silent—Hervey, sitting bolt upright, with a@ white set face, and with every nerve trem- bin ole come to-morrow and see how you are,” said bis companion, as they stopped at the door of the lodging. “Here is my card.” (mn the card Hervey read, with a vague no- tion of haying teen the name somewhere be- fere— +Colonei Richard Carter.” Next day Colonel Carter kept his promise and called.

He had rea- soned, and almost induced himself to believe that the supposed recognition of the preceding day was the eflect of one of those marvellous nesses one sometimes sees, combined with Tvous and diseased imagination. have long wished to see you. Major Her- yy.’ were the first words Colonel Carter said, “and for a purpose: you will hardly thank me; for I bave astory to tell you—my own story. You must not think me mad before you hear* what I bave tosay. Providence threw mein your way yesterday, and neither you nor I ean avoid such a power. My story is this:— Years ago, when I was quartered in York, 1 Weneged to make the acquaintance ofa girl who was ata boarding-school there. We were very much in love with each other, aud kept up a correspondence. At Chistmas she went to spend the bolidays with some friends. I foljowed her down, and met her in the hunt- ing-field. We arranged everything. and as soon as she got baek toschool she eloped with me.” Hervey bad started forward ashe = ottbe bunting-field and Yorkebire: and Gropping his face upon bis clasped arms, he leaned upon the table, making no farther sign while the strange story was being told. «We were married at a village church, and ‘went to London, tbe mistress of the boarding- school traced us, and insisted upon Beatriee going back with her, offering anything if we would consent to the separation only for a time, in order that she might not be blamed by my wife's father, or bring such scandal and rum upon bersecbool. | was aselfish conceit- ed fool, 1 had spent all the money 1 couid get on the trip to London, and began to think I had madea mess of it. The woman had great powers of persuasion, and her own interest ‘was at work; sbe told me privately the mar- risge was not legal; I believed her, and suf- tered ber to take Beatrice away, knowing that =Le meant to tell Beatrice the same story «lL rejomed my regiment, id told myself that | was a lucky fellow to escape from such asily, and that Beatrice would for- abou! me, or only think me too great a blackguard to care for. 1 went to India, and was at M—— when Moynoll’s daughter came out, strange as you may think it, the coiner- dence of name had never struck me, and it was oniy on seemmg her ride past the mess-room one morning, that] knew who she was. “I was still a coward, and while debating Vhbat to co,a lucky attack of fever decided my course. 1 started for England, without seeing ber again, or being seen by her, and, as she did het Know me by my real name, there was no Gunger of her recognizing men in any way but by sght. 1 got down to Calcutta, but allthe ‘way down my conscience was at work, what with that and the joursey. 1 was down ia & ver again directly I arrived. So the steamer bad to sail without me, and I lay there tossing and raving for a fortnizht, all the powers of evil figbting against the wild longing that had «ome over me, to go back to Beatrice, and be- bave like an bonest man, for 1 knew by this time that our marriage was legal enough in the sight of the Almighty. The first tning 1 heord when 1 got oa my legs, was that vou were to marry her, 1 wrote. claiming her as my wife, bidding her come down to me, and reek anything rather than marry you. That lever reached her the day of her marriage; she read itin the palanquin, and taking the head- bearer into her confidence, threw herself on his mercy tosave her.

Beatrice thonght so.
