THE EVENING STAR: WASHINGTON, A MAN’S MISTAKE. “Ob, dear! I am so tired” ‘tired, my darling? Well, never mind! t's all over now, and you Will never have to go through it again, you know!” ‘The speakers were the sole occupants of a first class carriage, im Which they were rapidly whirl- ing slong toward London from the north. One was a decidedly pretty girl of some nineteen or twenty years Not even the fatigue of which she compiained could deprive her face of its piquant vivacity, and the very protest of weariness was uttered with @ vigor, telling of considerable force 1 in reserve in the slender frame. Her companion Was manon the borders of middie age. ‘There was a certain out-of-door ex- pression on his bronzed and bearded countenance, and a general suggestion of fleld sports In hls largely-bullt tigure, which stamped hil at once as a cou clean. Perhaps Kindness and hon- esty were more legibly written oa his countenance than any great amount of intellectual power. One | could not picture him pondering very deeply, for Instance, over the “Mystery of Life,” or becoming The shining light of a Browning society. Yet his Was a face which few women could have been trusted to criticise impartially. At all times it Wasa good and pleasant countenance; and now, that It was radiant with the light of love, the Drown eyes fairly brimming over with tenderness &> they followed every movement of the daintily arrayed figure by his side, no woman, at any rate, Would have hesitated to’ pronounce Mr. Colling- Wood a handsome man, A mischievous stile broke over his companion’s face at is emphatic assertion of the final nature of the ceremony that day accomplished. “Indeed, Jack? So you have quite made up your sind, that in the event of your quitting this mor- tal scene before me, I am to play the part of a Hindoo widow for the rest_ of my days? What a pity You did not insert a clause in those tremend- ously long, dry settlements arranging a suttee in ali due form!” The shadow of a shade passed over her hus. band’s face at her light rejoinder. She saw it at once, and placed her band on his, in haste to heal the littie wound. “You dida’t think I meant ft, Jack, dear? You know that if you were to be taken from me——” ‘The eager protest got no further; it was cut Short tm a sudiien but not alarming manner. ‘The two had been married that morning tn the Village church. where Whole generations of Mr. Colling Ww ood’s forefatners lay sleeping. In ono re- spect it had been a singular wedding; the bride had neither parent nor relation to give her into her busband's care, nor even the poorest apology for a howe from which to make her debut In her W life. She Was just 2 solitary waif cast upon the world’s wide shore, and gathered up by Jack Collingwood Into his big, sumple heart, there to be guarded thenceforta with the tender reverence Inany a princess of the bicod longs for in vain. Kathieen Kaymond had been the bosom friend Of Mr. Collingwood's young step-sister In a Han- overian “peusionnat de demoisevies” The mother- less daughter of an lmpecuntous Irish officer, her father’s sudden death bad left the young girl sin- | gularly alone in the world, and when she quitted The “pensionnat,” where she bad known Mabel Collingwood, no” othe 1 prospect la before her but to join the great crowd of loney Woueu who are fighting for their own living. But before beginning the much-dreaded search for empioyment she had been persuaded by her | more fortunate friend to take along holiday among | ‘ue hills and dales of Westshire. The orphan girl | Fecetved a warm welcome to the hospitable old | Dower House, where Mabel lived with her widow: mother, and there the bright weeks of that sum- | Mer slipped gently by in happy idleness, ‘And then a most wondertul and yet exceedingly | batural and simpte tuing happened. Mabel's half brother, Lue squire of Annersivy, the eligibie bach- flor of the country-side, the Cynosare of every match-maker in the neigborhood, fell swiftly, Irre- Ulevabiy, bead-over-ears in lo with the little penniless waif whom the fates had cast up at bis Unreshokt. Yhere Was noone living who had the right to say him nay tn the matter, When once Kathieen’s Suy consent had been won, and the preparations tor the marriage were hastened on as rapidly a3 sible rt Mr. Collingwood himself it was a never- ending source of wonder that this consent should | have been so easily and quickly gained. In bis | Lonest eyes Kathicen stood so far exaited above | all ordinary human girls, so far removed from the | Crowd of young ladies whose attentions had often | overwhelmed him with terror, It alimost seemed to | him that he was taking an tndue advantage of her Imexperience In inking her bright girlhood to Lis own Inore mature existeace. It ts neediess to say Chis Was not the view of the taken by the world in general, and in by the squire’s elder” sister, who for ub been at the head of his. bacuelor house- years hold. When Jack, blushing and stammering like & lad of twenty, carried the news of his success to Miss Collingwood, he was recelved With an air of lofty consiueration, and to the long story of hopes, doubts and delights, she replied only with a coul— “Of course, Jack.” “Winy ‘of course?"” asked her brother, ly. “Miss Kaymond is a clever girl, Jack, and when the ball w ually laid at her feet’ it was not ely she would fail to secure her advantage.” he ts hot a Whit more clever than good,” an- swered the squire. “She would not have accepted aa emperor Ubless—unless she loved him as she Joves me.” ‘The squire said it bravely, but he blushed again | like a boy. ris im Miss Raymond's position, “There are few Jack, Who wouid fail Uo love the possessor of £5,000 1s year.

Even the trousseau indis- pensuble for the squire’s bride must be provided with the squire’s money. Jack Managed the mat- ter Lhrouga his stepmother with careful delicacy, and Kathieen was so stieut about the matter. in Roped tuat, amid the many excivements of her hew position, she scarcely realized that the costly lokets and dainty appurtenances Which accumu. lated so fast during the short engagement were each and ail her lover's git. “she is like a child for simplicity and unworldlt- ness,” said the squire, in reply to some caustic Femark of his sister's, “and sue takes what 1s pro- Vided for her Just as’ unquestioningly a8 a child does.” “Miss Raymond quite understands—no one bet- ter—how much better it is to leave some things Unsaid, Jack.

The windows stood Open, and the summer breeze had scattered some of hér papers about the floor. As Mr. © 008d stooped to gathet up the fying sheets his eye was caught by a closely-written page of Kathleen's pretty writing. Ali Uhings were common how, and his resied on U ‘at first Just for the ‘pleasure of seeing her ‘again, then in awakened curiosity, then in utter bewilderment. The letter was without formal and ran thus: ‘It would be wiser and better not to write this at ail, but [cannot any longer bear the of knowing that the news of ty marriage will find you wholly unprepared. Max, you will say I can hever have loved you, and if 1 will ‘one use. less pang of regret, It'is weil you should think 80, ‘Yeu I did speak thé truth when T told you no other could ever be to me what you were.

Good-by, M: jay you win the love of a better womal than I can ever bet” ‘The letter fell from Mr. Collingwood's unnerved hand, fluttering quietly away again beneat table’ as he left te root, and slowly, n halt-dazed fashion, made his way to a quiet ‘nook in tbe arden where Kathleep and he had spent many & appy hour together. ‘The discovery was a terrible blow to him. Like many men who had married rather late in life, he had found a speciai charm in the idea that ‘the Very first emotions of lis young wife's heart had been awakened by his own woolng. A hundred times he had exuitingly said to himself, as his eyes rested on her fair girlish face—“she 13 all my own! No man before me could ever boast posses- Sion of one tinlest corner of her heart! Never has she even dreamed of any other love than mine!” And he had been so certaln, too, that she stood on ‘@ pedestal of unworidiiness which raised her far above the juility of a mercenary thought or motive! It was very bitter to awaken from his ‘Sweet dream to find that, after all, he had been married fora home; and for a little while his Wrath ran high against the woman who had de- ceived him, Thoughts of his sister's repeated warnings crowded upon his mind In unwelcome number. Why had not he heeded them more? Bat never in his whole life had tne squire been able to keep his wrath at boiling potnt through two consecutive hours, and before the last of the cigars in his case had gone the way of all tobacco, he was hard at work trying to frame excuses for Kathleen. So young, so lovely, so gentle—was it avy wonder she had shrunk from the life of toll and dependence which lay before her through the Years of waiting? This “Max,” too, who was he after all, that sie should sacrifice herself for bis sake? Some swaggering, beer-quaffing German student, who had sung sentimental “Stdndchen” under her window by night, and filled her school- girl head with romantic rubbish—rubbish which, bowever, even now stood in the way of her return- ing the love of an honest man. How willingly would he have taught the feliow what a sound British horse-whipping meant! When Kathleen at length returned from her walk, the squire had thought out his future plan of action to bis own entire satisfaction, and was prepared to meet his wife with calmness, if not with cheerfulness, Op a sunny afternoon some six weeks later in the year, Mr. Collingwood was lying on his back under a tree in the chestnut forest which clothes the lower slopes of the Dent de Morcies. Below, on the right, lay the little town of Bex, and in the distance beyond that the gleaming waters of Lake Leman. To the left stretched the broad valley of the Kuone, rich in vineyards and orchards, with the Glacier du Trient rising into the sky for a background. The turbid waters of the Rnone burried along their chanuel almost at his feet, and on the other ‘side of the valiey rose the gleaming peaks and pinnacles of the Dent du Midi. Ail Us Mr, Collingwoud might have seen from one of the forest clearings where he lay. But he seemed to care for none of these things. He lay on the close soft turf pecullar to the chestnut woods, gazing up into the great tree overhead with a Troubied cloud on mis honest face, “after ail, what else could I have done?” he muitered, baif aloud, at last, as though in hope that hfs perplexed Uloughts might grow clearer by giving them utterance. “To « woman who had just Written auother man such a letter as that, any great demonstration of affection, even from a husband, could be nothing but an annoyance. I could see it bored her—why else did she grow so quiet aud oda at Mirren? At first, no doubt, the ¥ery novelty of ‘the thing carried her along all rigiat, Dut as that wore off she began to feel the cliain drag a bit. So I thought I'd keep more in the background for a Ume—give her her head a Dit—and then she'd see I didn’t want to bother her, and get to feel more settled in her mind.” ‘The squire Ndgeted restlessty on his soft, warm couch, 1h vain efforts after an easier posture. “But somehow it doesn’t Work a8 Well a8 I ex- pected.

If f could but forget the thing, and. see in her my own true-aearted little Katie again” Mr. Collingwood made another fruitless at. tempt at comfort, then suddenly sprang 10 his feet With @ strong exclamation, “Why can't I be said aloud, as he paced impatiently to and fro. bee tween the trees. “Why can’t I say right out that J am eating my heart out with jealousy ‘because I've seu her Watching for the post so eagerly of late? If only I could be sure that scoundrel “had dared to write to her 'd shoot him, if 1 knew I should hang for it!” AS he uttered the words Mr. Collingwood per- ceived at a little distance the tall, slender figure Of his wife. She wore a dress of some soft gray Stail, which feil around her with almost nunslike effect; her head was covered only by a little lace kerehiet, for the forest ran close up to thelr ttle mountain “pension,” and they were within a few hundred yards of tts door. As the squire, bimseit unseen, Watched her slow, languid steps and pen- sive face, a great longing to take her intohis arms and kiss the color back to her pale cheek again awoke in his heart, and he advanced quickly’ to- ward her. But as he did so he saw in her hand an open letter, and with a sudden saisgiving he stopped abruptly. It was too late; his step had caugut her ear, and he saw her hurriedly return the letter to her gocket as she came forward. Was looking Wor you, Jack,” sae Said as they met. “There 18 someting I want to ask yot but—but— i ‘The pause was more eloquent than words. The squire took bis courage in ‘hands and resolved to face his fate bravely. “Come and sit down here,” he said quietly, pointing toa seat eneath one of the low, wide: spreading chestnuts, and placing himself ‘beside her. ‘There were a few minutes of uncomfortable silence, broken presently by Kathleen. “[ have wanted vw tell you something for some days past, Jack —, but it never seemed the right tme.” “Have I made myself so very formidable to your” asked Jack, with a sorry attempt at a smile. ‘ot formidable, exactly—but—different, very different.” Kathleen paused again, and then Went on in broken, hurried tones: “I know T am not aif worthy of all the love you gave me once, Jack, dear—but, oh! don’t take it quite from me, for it 18 all I Have in the world!” ‘There were (ears in her quivering voice, and the squire felt an answering lump im his own throat ashe 3 “My poor little Katie!” ‘That was all he coula get out for a minute; then he cieared his throat Sito fear of my love betng taken from ‘No fear of my love being taken ye Katle, if only you will be open with me.

After all, what was she but a chila? Her very words proved how lignuy she regarded the whole matter. Yet even them there rang in his ears the words of that letter to her deserted lover to give the We to the excuse he was framing er. “I want to tell you all about it, Jack,” she said Presently, “And I want to show you a latter, and ‘ask you how I ought to answer it.” “Don’t answer it all,” said her husband D.C 2 BE f =F + u a gs ee i Ee os Hy a “RO long ago as that: Onyx, it you had only ‘ago as that? asked me about it at once!” “Didn't I tell you I was the fool aliver” But, , Kathleen would let no one im Dut herseil, “No—it Was partly my fault too, I it not to mmave bad even so littie a secret as that from you, But I knew you wouldiaugh at me #0 di it you knew Thad been trying to write.

The legend of the ancient Greeks pictures the Furies as pursuing families from generation to generation, rendering them Gosolate, The Furies still ply their work of terror and death, but they are not now clothed in the garb of superstition, but appear in the more intelligible but no less awful form of hereditary disease, Modern science, which hes illuminated 20 ‘many dark corners of nature, has shed « new light om the ominous words of the Scriptures, “The sins of the fathers shall be visited upon the children unto the third and fourth geners- tion.” Instances of hereditary disease abound. Fifty per cent of cases of consumption, that fearful destroyer of families, of cancer and scrofula, run in families through inheritance. Insanity is hereditary in # marked degree, but, fortunately, like many other hereditary diseases, tends to wear itself out, the stock becoming ex- tinct, A distinguished scientst truly says: “No ‘organ or texture of the body is exempt from the chance of being the subject of hereditary dis- ease.” Probably more chronic diseases, which permanently modify the structure and fune- tions of the body, are more or lees Liable to be inherited.
