CHAPTER LXYII.

TTevelyan held the door open loI nei
as she went, and kept it open during
her absence. There was hardly a word
said between him and Lady Rowley,
but he paced from the passage into the
room and from the room into the pass
age with his hands behind his back.

cruel"
at is you that are cruel" said Lady
Rowley.
"Of course,-of course. That is
natural from you. expect that from
you." To this she made no answer, and
he did not open his lips again.
After while Mrs Trevelyan called
to her mother, and Lady Rowley was
allowed to go up stairs. The quarter
of an hour was of course greatly stretch
ed, and all the time Trevelyan continued
to pace in and out of the room. He was
patient, for he did not summon them,
but went on pacing backwards and for
wards, looking now and again to see
that the cab was at its place,-that no
deceit was being attempted, no second
act of kidnapping being perpetrated.
At last the two ladies came down the
stairs, and the boy was with Them
and the woman of the house.
"Louis," said the wife, gong quickly
up to her husband, Il will do anything,
if you will give me my child"
"What will you doP
"Anything,-say what you want.
He is all the world to me, and cannot
live if he be taken from me-"
Acknowledge that you have been
wrong"
"Bat how,-in what words, how am
to speak it'll"
"Say that you have sinneI, and that
You will sin no more"
Skinned, Louis,-aS the woman did -

say that ~
"He cannot think that it is So" said
Lady Rewley.
But Trevelyan had not understood
her. Lady Rowley, l should have
fancied that my thoughts, at any rate,
were my own. But this is useless now
The child cannot 60 with you to-day,
nor can you remain here. Go home and
think of what have said. If then you
will do as l would have you, you shall
return"
With many embraces, with promises
of mOtherly love, and with prayers for
lOvein return, the poor woman did at
last leave the house, and return to the
cab. AS she went there was a donbt in
her own mind whether she should ask
+. kiss her husband; but he made no
sign, and she at last passed out without
any mark of tenderness. He stood BY
the cab as they entered it, and closed
the door upon them, and then went
slowly back to his room. MY poor

"Why for mamma go" sobbed the
child.
Mamma gees-O, heaven and earth,

had made him understand that it would
not suit her to find home any longer
for one who was so singular in his pro
ceediugs. He believed that his child
would be given up at once, if he was
not there to guard it. He stayed ~
home, therefore, turning in his mind
many schemes. He had told his wife
