CHAPTER XIV

"Youwill find it difficult, my dear Ann, -
said Mr.. Lee, to his sister, 'to convince
me that l am wrong, for the proof is too
strong"
"You are lawyer, Henry, and ought to
know best; but still can not believe that
your state of excitement is favorable to
a fair investigation of the subject. You
know that l would not, for any considera-
ton, do or say anything to give you pain,
or mislead your judgment; and as am un-
acquainted with Miss Berne, personally,
and but little, by report, L can not be
much influenced by prejudice for, or
against her, and all that desire is to do
her simple justice.
81 know that you are too generous, Ann,
to entertain bad feelings towards any, and
too pure to suspect others of doing that
which you would scorn to do. But tell
me, if you can, why Helen related to
another the confidential conversation be-
tween us, and that, too, so soon after it
took place y
''How long was it" she asked" after
you parted with Helen before you were on
horseback"
Not more than ten minutes. Was his
answer.
"And how long was it, she continued,
before Mr.. Estelle overlook you ON the
road ?"
"About half an hour"
"Then tell me, Henry, if it is possible
that, in the short space of forty minutes,
Helen could have gone to her room-writ-
ten that letter-sont it to Mr. Eskridge-
that he could have read it, then taken a
walk, dropt it from his pocket, and that
Mr.. Estelle could have picked it up, read
it, ordered his horse and overtaken you"
at docs seem impossible he said, in a
hesitating tone; ''but how can it be other
wise? No one but Helen and would have
known what was said on that occasion, and
Mr. Estelle said enough to satisfy me that
the subject of that interview was known to
him, and who, but Helen, could have di-
vulged the secret2'
"Some one that was in hearing" Miss
Lee answered; "some one who dogged her
footsteps with the sole view of obtaining
the means to injure her But did it not
occur to you that the letter may be forg-
ery2"
"Yes, aud | SO limited to Mr. Estelle;
but the facts he mentioned could not be
forgery2'
"Of course not, Henry; but the letter,
1 am sure, was forged. Attracted by Hell
ems beauty without knowing her name,
at the time--I saw her leave tse room this
morning, and Mrs, Meddler followed her
for what purpose, leave you to conjec-
ture. But | am satisfied she witnessed
your interview with Helen, aud wrote the
letter YOU saw In M EstelIey n0ssessio,
