Thus passed a period of aeveral days, began to find myself vaBtly better, and, with the growth of energy, to look forward pleasurably to the time when 1 should return to my work in London. My good friend the waiter had much to hla delight, In getting me to go for numerous drives through the lovely country that surrounds th I had even, on diver watering-placoccasions, set forth on foot and explored the coast and the Inland lanes for myself. I went alone, but I neven felt the absence of companions, for myi expeditions always took place before or after the hour at which she might be expected idling on the promenade at the hour when she drove by. I had come to understand the routine of their daily outing. They were manifestly living somewhere to the west of the town. Every day they went through the island lanea at the back of it until they were a mile or two to the east, and then, descending seawards, drove home to the promenade and the road that skirts the sea. Now one day, with no set purpose that I would have confessed, even to myself, I took tho western road., and went into the country. Some doxen cottages and a little pier stood at the margin of the sea. Inland a few houses were seen among their fruitful or-chards. But at the edge of the slope there waa a little space of wild wood, n and this, ss I looked across the hedge, tempted me to rest. I climbed this intervening barrier and e. lay down In the shelter of a little cuc-eeed- ed, ill- ness that hud brought me there to seek for health. For a year past I had longed for a period of license such as was now mine to enjoy, but the granting of my desire had come in such a fashion that it gave me not the smallest pleasure. I waa desperately tired, and my nerves were in a state that rendered all enjoyment impossible. I used to lie late in the mornings, for there waa nothing to do but wander idly on the promenade, and the trivial pleasures of the crowd vexed me unutterably because 1 could not share them. It waa only at night I realized that possibly this irksome time of rest was bringing me nearer to the recovery of my health. Then I used to wander until all but the latest of the visitors had left the promenade. It was impossible not to be at rest. I had been perhaps a fortnight in the place when first I saw the lady of whom I would tell you. It was only for a moment, as she drove past in the company of an older woman, but that moment's sight waa enough to fill my thoughts until I saw her again upon the morrow. She waa beautiful beyond all words; I fancied she could hardly have passed the age of twenty; and speech and hearing had been denied her. She had the Innocent gladness that remains while they are yet young with some who are thus afflicted. She looked upon the world with beautiful bright eyes, and, in spite of fate, was well pleased to be alive. But she was talking with her fingers to the elder lady, her companion. In whose eyes as they looked on the girl I saw an infinite pity expressed. That pity Instantly Invaded my own heart, though its object was gone out of my sight within a few seconds of her appearance; and, despite the fact that I knew not so much aa her name, there was mixed with the pity a sense of angry rebellion agalnat the fates who had thus afflicted her, wantonly robbing of Its value a generosity that, through her, might otherwise have gladdened the wide world. I could not refrain from laughter at the emotions so suddenly aroused In me. 1 might have been her lover, and this Inability to hear or to speak a calamity quite newly fallen upon her. Now, more than ever, I regretted my loneliness, for I had no one from whom I might expect to gather any information as to her identity, nor was there e. flower-grow- oak-tre- It may be I slept Certainly I was a long time under the oak before I became aware that I was not the only occupant of the wood. Someone waa singing softly, and I could hear footsteps moving slowly through the fern. I could tell by the sound that the newcomer was stopping here and there to pick flowers. Now, I had enjoyed the solitude, but even at the flrat the person who. was coming towards me did not strike me aa an Intruder. Ker singing was la absolute concord with my mood; it was as if one had thought of a poem, and a moment later found oneself humming the melody that would make of It a perfect aong. I lay and waited, and the singer came nearer. The song ceased when she presently appeared. She and 1 were a little startled. Theft yon are not dumb? I cried lnvoluni art'y aa I started to my feet She bnilteted, and a little smile played about thw corners of her pretty mouth. ''It fft my aunt who ia dumb, he said.

HE Was s Brllgom Anaw "THEN YOU ARE NOT DUMB!" any hope of my gaining the privilege of her acquaintance. I made some futile inquiries at the hotel, and only got ao far aa to be almost certain she was, like myself, a visitor. On the next day, at about the aame hour, the carriage passed along the length of the promenade. She waa still Innocently glad to be alive, content to accept her burden as If It were no burden at all; it was with smiles she looked Into the pitying eyes of her companion, and I could fancy that the messages she was conveying with swiftly moving fingers were humorous appreciations of what she saw around her. My earlier questions had been to a quaint, elderly waiter at the hotel; a man who hr.d in some sort made It his especial task to see to my and who was the nearest approach to a friend 1 possessed within a hundred miles of the place. It hap-- I that I was lunching at the open window one day when the carriage parsed, a little earlier than usual. "That la the lady of whom I was speaking." I said to him. lie looked out of the window with r.iiirk Interest. 'A dear little maid, if I nicy sn. Yes, and the poor dear is deaf and dumb; shes talkin' upon ber fingers. Well, tn pass along the promenade, and so my thoughts were always busy, whether with anticipation or remembrance. Never once did she fail me; never once did her affliction seem to mar the beautiful gaiety of her mood. It appeared that she saw and enjoyed every little thing that could he seen; nor was it altogether a young mans vanity that made me wonder whether she had begun to notice the fact that a certain sallow Invalid was always near her.

Ifft face, who made auch blundering atlrmpta to carry the airs of an old fmTy man. I knew just how the thirg anould be done, and I would do it. I had no trouble in bribing the baggage master to strip our trunks of love knots and old shoes, ao that we were not advertised when we reached the city. This winning of the first round gave me an assurance that must have impaired my caution. Her brother waa with us. At the hotel I boldly registered his name with and sister following It, and then wrote my own name. When it came to placing ub, I made some offhand explanations, but the eyes of the night clerk twinkled and I could have throttled him. Tho next morning, when I shook out my new umbrella to take a walk alone, husbands do, I just aa rattled rice all over the tile floor In the office. Of course I explained to the day clerk that I had been attending a wedding and must have taken the bridegrooms umbrella by mistake, but he smiled knowingly, the hangers-o- n laughed and Borne urchin in the corner yelled Rats! At dinner my wife said she never knew before that I took wine after meat and the waiter grinned a polite grin. When, in my rattled condition, I gave him a $10 gold piece for half a dollar, I threw off all disguise. At the next stop I told them we were just married, that we wanted every attention and that expense cut well-season- ed no figure.
