She waved her hand towards him, as if
to implore or command silence. 1
"I have nothing to say TO you" she
muttered, in low and husky tones, as il
ashes were in her throat. "But to YOU "
she said, and her voice rose clear and
strong as she turned and stretched out her
arm towards Rosa, who was leaning in
alright against the wall ITO YOU, trait
ress' who has come between the true hus-
band and his wife-in the morning you
must leave the house you have desecrated!
for if you do not, or il ever / find your
false face here again, I will tread down and
crush out your life with less remorse than
ever set heel upon a spider Twill, as
am Berners ! And now, begone, and
never let me see your form again !"
Rosa Blondelle, who had stood spell
bound by the,terrible gaze and overwhelm-
ing words Of Sybil, the wronged wife, now
suddenly threw up her hands and with
low cry fled from the room.
And Sybil dropped her arm and her voice
nj, the same instant. and stood dumb and
motionless. .'.'f7.i.'' ..,..
