FALSE AMBITION. {Continued from page 17.) and a puzzled expression came over his face. She was not quite ccrtaiu whether he had recognised her or not, but after a moment's reflection she decided tliat he had not done so. As a matter of fact, Judith was right. David had noticed what he thought was a resemblance to Judith in the woman known as Sylvia Dorian, but he decided it was a resemblance and nothing more. He would have dismissed the matter from his mind had he not gone over to Fislu-rs Cove for the week end. There he casually mentioned tliat a lady was staying at the Van Dixons" wlio bore a strong resemblance to Judith. "As a matter of fact," he said, "she "rs a Mis. Sylvia Dorian, who is on a. xJsit to * relative named Jlrs Pemberton." Felicity and her mother looked at each other, and then the girl rose to her feet. "David," she said. " Sylvia Dorian died in this house. Judith was here and offered to take her jewellery and papers to the Mrs. Peinbrrton you speak of. It is Judith that is masquerading as the dead girl. We cannot let tihis go on." They talked the matter nrer. and decided tliat it was their duty to tell Mr Van Dixon at once. •' I will send him a telegram asking him to meet me at the hotel in the town, where we can talk tilings over quietly," said David. Accompanied by Mrs. Blackwood and Felicity, David took the first train to t lie ctt>% first sending oil the telegram. It was this telegram that Judith saw. Her tare went black with rage as sno grasped its meaulug. She saw it handed in at Fishcra Cove, and that it meant that David had boen told the truth about Sylvia Dorian's death. " To be beaten at the eleventh hour," she muttered. '; But I will not be beaten. I whi »i>peal to Peter's love, and when they come here to denounce me they will iind we have gone." She sought Peter, and. adopting an expression of virtuous indignation, told him that his family were trying to part them. " Don't ask me how I know, Peter," she pleaded, as ?he looked up into liis eyes with all the power ot her will. " You know how i love yon. I love you so that if I lose you I shall die. Oh. Peter, Peter, don't let them part us ! If yon tove mc as you say— as I love you— take me away and marry inc. Marry me now, so they can never part us." She broke into a passionate Ot of weeping, and Peter tried to comfort her. " Don't distress yourself, darling. Nobody can part us. I will see. my father an<l mother. I will tell them al! that we love each other, and tliat. nothing shall part us. There is no need to run awa.v% i am my own master, and I will marry wl mm I like ! " No ! No ! " almost shrieked Judith. " They will tell lies about me. We must go away. I wiil not be insulted, even by your father and mother. You must choose between them and me." Aud Petri-, helpless in the net tliat Judith baJ woven aroiuid him, confute I. Telling her to pack as few things as *\v eo il I possibly do with and meet him in the library in ;t p.v, inlnntes, ha went lo bis room and packed a bag. Taking a* much money as he could find in his room, ho went to the library and found Judith waiting for him. There wo? no sign of any of the family, and tin v weie just going towards the door when it was thrown open, and Mr Van Dixon, looking very stern, paused on the threshold. To her horror, Judith saw that behind bird were David strong, her mother and her sister. " I mil just in time. I see, Peter." said Mr Van Dixon, looking at the hag in his son's hand. "This woman is an imprister. Sylvia Dorian was drowned when she was washed ashore when the ' Caledonia ' went down. These good people tried to save her, l>nt she died from exhaustion. The lady you propose to marry, afire barely giving up your sweetheart, is Judith Blackwood, nerc are her mother and sister." "" 1 don't Mtav« a word Of it," began Peter, when Felicity stepped into the room. " It is true. She is toy sister. Judith, you dare not deny it." The young man fumed to Judith. One look at hw fact told him fcha truth. " Yea, it is true," she said sullenly. " Now, if you an not going to send for the police, please let me l>ass-." " You may go " said Mr Van Dixon. " I have no desire to advertise my son's folly through the police court reports." Judith went out a broken woman. For the first time in her life slie felt asliamed. But for the generosity of Mr. Van Dixon she would have been irtaced" in the dock and convicted as a swindler, forced to herd with vile criminals. She drove to her apartments, and there anotlicr blow was waiting for her. Her servants had ail gone, taking with them everything they could carry away. ' Broken in spirit, she sat in the bare room. She was ruined and disgraced. Wrapped, up in her melancholy thoughts, she scarcely heard the door open, but looking up she saw Paul Vincent standing by her side. " Have you come to gloat ovrr my downfall ? " she said bitterly. "No," said Paul softly "I liavc come not wi>h pity, but with love. I believe you have discovered what faLse ambition is. I want you to be my wife. I knew you were not marrying Peter for love," bat I have loved, you all the time." And then tlie liard -casing that Judith had built round her heart was melted — dissolved in the first roartears she had she*l since ehildlwod. " If you can trust me so much, you need never fiar that the old Judith will return, "-she said. " She is buried in the grave of False Ambition."
