No matter; l shall support tho crusader,

commands my respect"
Every we'll" said the Doctor, that Is
settled: so now let us talk Of something

"Raby, your heart Is in the right place,
after ali. But, when she Is hero, how arc
we 10 conceal her unhappy sons tate from
her? 1t will be more difficult than ever,
now Jael Dcncc Is in tho house"
"Why SOY We must take the girl into

"The sooner tho better, then. Let us
have her in here" .......

news Of Henrys death would kill her.
"Ay, poor soul" said Jael, and began
10 cry bitterly.

She leaned her chin upon her hand, and
her face and brow showed signs Of intel.

In them before. ......... .......
"Who Is to go for herr" said she nj last
II AM going myself"
"That Is q mistake at starting, begging
your worship's pardon. Why, the very

"Raby," said the Doctor, "thiS young
woman has said enough 10 show me That
she Is more fitto conduct this delicate un-
dcrtaking than either you or ]. Let us
profit by tho discovery, put our vanity In
our pocket, and give her the command.
My dear, you SEQ tho importance: you sec
