sore and wretched, and, in truth, sadly
frightened, she was not awkward. In
that encounter, so far as IL had gone,
she had been the victor.
As soon as she was alone and the car
riage had been driven well away from
the door, Mrs. Trevelyan left the draw
ing-room and went up to the nurssry. As
She entered, she clothed her face with
her sweetest smile. "How is his own

said; as though the "having baby" was
a privilege over which there might al

On the evening of that day the bus
band and wife had an interview tegeth-
ct In the library, which unfortunately
was as unsatisfactory as Lady Milbor-
Ough's visit. The cause of the failure
of them all lay probably in tAis,-that
there was no decided point which, 1t
conceded, would have brought about
reconciliation. Trevelyan asked for
general submission, which he regarded
as his right, and which in the exist

sore that no approach to terms was
made by them.
