Undor Decima’s infuence Gaunt reforms. Realizing that he caunot marry Decima, he loaves her and koss to London, where her brother Bolby has fatien Jer the influence horpe and his sister, A promoter named Marston Daas old on Deslinu's father HAPTER I. In the Grip of Fate. T was as Theodore Mershon intended, Deane lacked the that nearly all great lack. It would not do the work expected of it because— well, there was just one trflie missing, and what that triffe was or where It was the dreamy Inventor could not tell But tho great company that was to make his machines had been exploited, and into it Deane had put all of his fortune, Could it have happened a more inopportune timet Bobby was in debt In London. Dectma could not grasp the extent of the disaster when Mershon told her that her father had lost all of his money, Gradually it wore into her mind—when Bobby came home, pale, haggard, with dark rings under his eyes, with the Jook of a hunted animal Mershon pressed his suit, and, s-cing tow this man’s money might save the dreamy old father and the loved brother, she sald yes, but Mershon knew that he dare not kiss her then. “Do you love him?" Mrs, Sherborne asked Decima as they wat alone in the gorgeous boudolr Mershon allotted his half-sistor. Decima raised her eyes heavily. "No," she satd in a low volce. ‘Mr. Mershon knows that, He does not ask me—does not expect—he says that I shall— love him after we are married.” Her voice was almost inaudible. Mrs. Sherborne's hand tightened on the girl's arm. “After you are married!" she repeated, as if she were half terror-stricken, “Oh, you do not now what you are paying! You do not know what {t means. You are too innocent—too ignorant. Decima, if you do not love him mow you will hate him after you are married.” Decima uttered a low cry and attempted to rise, but Mrs. Bherborne's hand forced her back Into her chair. “Do you think that {s too strong, that {t {s unjust?" pontinued the strained voice. “It {s not. I know him; you flo not. There 1s no cruelty he would not be capable of. My poor child, he could make life a hell for you—and he would do it!" Decima felt that she must see Aunt Pauline. She nested this strong, kind old woman, who had brought her up, to mother her. She would understand and guide her.® Her ttather scarce heeded her good-by, or understood that she was going to London. When she arrived Aunt Pauline was out of town, and so Decima went to the chambers Lord Gaunt had loaned to Botiby. Her brother was not there, but whe ead she would’ wait, and the maid brought some tea and ‘made her comfortable. ‘Yes; the room was eloquent of him. She got round to the Wantelshelf at 1: It was too crowded with bric-a-brac; it one thing among them attracted and chained her at- tion, It was a portrait, a cabinet photograph, of a woman's face mnd bust. It was a Uecautiful face; more than beautiful, ‘ascinating. Who was it? Some friend of Bobby's—or Lord Gaunt's? ‘While the photograph was in her hand, she heard the hall Boor opén, and she raised her head, listening expectantly. Steps came along the hall, a hand turned the handle of Rhe door. “Bobby,” she almost exclaimed aloud; and she put the photograph hurriedly, face downward, upon the mantel- Bhelf, and went to meet him with a smile on her face. ‘The door opened, and a tall figure in @ fur ooat entered. It was too tall for Bobby, but for a moment she did not recognize him, then, as he turned from olosing the door and presented his face to her, she saw that it was Lord Gaunt. She shrunk back, her outstretched arms falling to her side. Bide. “I—I came to see Bobby, | He looked round. “He is not here?’ “No,” she said, ‘the is out. He is coming back present! Mhey say. Where have you come from? Does he expect you” Decime looked at him and saw more plainly, as the fire- Nght played on his face, how worn and haggard he looked. “Have—have you been lI?" she asked, timidly. “I? No," he replied. He raised his head and glanced Rt her. He scarcely dared to look long at her, lest the esire to take her In his arms should get the better of him, “And—and you? You look—you are thinner, paler. Have fou been 111?” “Father nyention | Ta gekew she said. been in great trouble,"* “Trouble!” he repeated intently. ‘What trouble?” “He has lost a great deal of money, and at first wa thought, we feared that—— But it does not matter now.

Gaunt started and looked at her earnestly. “Was he in it? How did he—ah, I remember! And your father lost his money! I can well believe it! I don't know It was through some speculntion— Mr. Mershon much of Mr. Mershon, but I should say""— “Tam golng to be his wife,” she said in a low voice, Gaunt did not move for a moment, but sat Ike one sud- @enly turned to stone.

He had fled from temptation, but temptation is fleet of foot and it had overtaken him and had got him under its heel. “T love you!” face and gleaming she been “Pere His voice broke on hers flercely. ‘I love you, Dectma, 1 have loved you from the beginning.

You hold my heart in the hollow of your hands, It was be- cause I loved you paestonately, madly, that I left you—fled from you!" Lord Gaunt etopped for breath and caught Decima's other hand and gripped {t fast, as if he feared she would be torn from him there and then. "I am glad," she responded with innocent abandon. “That is right!" he said, “And you shall never regret tt, dearest—never! While I live I will spend every hour tn mak- Ing you happy. You delleve that—you trust me?" “Yes, she breathed. ‘But think! Am I fit to be your wife?" ‘The word fell like.a bolt from the blue. face went white. “We must go away together,” he sald, hoarsely, ‘There —there will be some fuss and—and stir. We-we will go to— yes, to Egypt, to Cairo."' “Shall we be married there? she asked, her tnnoopnt eyes on his face. ‘Suppose—I ask you to come with me without being mar- ried?" he eald, desperately. ‘Suppose there was some rea~ son why—why—eve could not be married Iike—like other per- sons? Would you risk—dare—all? Would you trust me and —and come with me?" She looked up at him with no fear tn her eyes, nothing but a faint surprise. “IT would go anywhere with you,” she said, ‘I could not refuse.” She drew a long breath and smiled up at him. “And why should I not? If we cannot be married we can be friends, just as we have been at Leafmore, I was very happy thete—ah, very happy! And I should see you every day, should I not? Perhaps Bobby could go with us? But 1 suppose not. He could not leave his work, could he, even for a time?" Before her absolute innocence Gaunt quaited. Aunt Pauline’s system had been very thorough, He bit his Ip, and for the iirst time his eyes fell before her pure gaze. Mechanically he took up the portrait, lying face down- ward, and was putting {t down again, when, as mechan!- cally, he glanced at it. He did not start, uttered no cry, but he stood stock st!l! and stared at the bewitching face in the eliver frame as if he had suddenly fetlen under a spell. Gradually a deathly pallor spread over his face, his eyes became distended. “Who—what?” broke from his set lips. Decima had turned to leave the room. She came back to him and looked over his shoulder, “That portrait? Whose 1s it?” she asked, “Tt Is my wife,” he eald, as a man speaks In his sleep. She shrunk back from him as if he had struck her. “Your—wite?” The words were scarcely audible, and yet to him they seemed to ring through the room. Ho still gazed at the face. How had {t come there? What juggling fiend had conjured the thing up to confront him with it at this moment—the moment of his life? “Your—wife?? Decima repeated, and she shrunk a step further away from him. “My wife!" he sald hoarsely, still staring at it. Then he Iifted his eyes heavily, slowly, and looked at her, looked and realized that he had spoken aloud, that he had told her. With an oath he flung the portrait {nto the fireplace. It fell with a crash as the giass and frame were shattered on the tiles; then ho stretched out his hands toward her. “Your wife! Then—then it ls not I you love—you cannot! It ts she! “Love her?’ He laughed with flerce bitterness. ‘You don't know what you say. Love? I hate, I loathe her!" A cry broke from her lps. “But she Js your wife?” “Decima," he began again; There was a sound in the corridor. votce, said in clear, metallic tones: ‘Tanks; don’t trouble. I know the way. I will go in and wait until he comes in."* ‘At the sound of the voice Gaunt started and looked over his shoulder ag If his senses were playing some fiendish trick on him. Decima heard the voice, the words, but she did not move. “God! it Is she!” broke from his white lps. He caught Decima’s arm, but stood as if paralyzed for a moment, then he eald in a hoarse whisper: “Go-that room!" and dashing open the door helf led, halt dragged her into the adjoining room, ‘Then he closed the His wife!
