CHAPTER LII.

There was but one hotel in the little
town, "'The Brae Arms" and there Alric
had gone Mt times to play at billiards.
She remembered that, and perhaps even
now he might be there, laughing at the
jest-such cruel jest-so. unlike him.

One or two strangers who passed her
by looked with wonder at her. Through
the thick vail one could see the white
face and the burning eyes.
IL must speak calmly" she thought,
cor they will think that l am mad"
The landlordhimself stood ON the steps
of the hotel. she clenched ner halds
so tightly while she spoke to him that
great red dents left their marks there
lor days afterward.
ssIs Mr.. Rymer here?" she asked, and
the man; who knew her, replied:
"No. madame, he left at four o'clock.
He went to meet the train at Glenrock.
l understood Mr.. Rymer that he was GO
ing to Paris"
The landlord, who knew that the lady
before MIN was called Mrs. Rymer, look
ed at her in wonder. She saw the look.
No need to laugh and sncer at her yet
she would be dead soon. Beforepeople
knew that she had lost her honor and
her fair name sne would be lying dead
and no one sneers at death. She
clenched her hands more tightly, and
the physical pain brought her to her
senses. :
s'Thank YOU" she replied; "I did not
know that he had gone"
Then she walked away,with no trace
of the deadly despair that has mastered
her in her manner. t4

'it can not he true. l am his vile be-

But those were not jesting words; they
were terrible, strange; but, as she sat in
Mortified, bewildered silence, it dawned
upon her for the first time, that she might
have been betrayed, duped, deceived and
deserted. Such things had been done
before, but not surely by men like Alrc.

raised her white iace again, and then
there was upon it such hopeless, help

have recognized her.
She rose slowly, and stood erect; her
limbs trembled, a mortal sickness was
upon her, mortal cold chat seemed TO
freeze the blood in her veins, and made
her heart beat slowly. s3.

terrible impress of suffering; he wonder
ed at her youth, her beauty, her sorrow.
"What can have driven her to death ~
he thought.
She had not fainted--such misery as
hers is rarely lost in 'unconscousness.
He placed her Oh the grave where she
had been sitting, and again she moaned:
"Why did you not let me die~
He looked down on her--not unkindIy /;
he had seen too much OF human suffering
for that.
"If saw YOU standing on the brink of
a precipice" he said, "sbould i not draw
you back? If / saw you falling into a
flame of fire, should not Try to save you

She looked up at him, and he shrank
from the pain aud anguish in those sad
eyes.
"You do not know" she said-"you do
not understand can not live"

were cold as deathAso cold that the
touch startled him.
"My poor child" he said, quietly, "do
