Agatha Will get over it." she muttered
"She will have lovers in plenty, and I
may never have such chance again"
Thus she deliberately weighed homo,
and dishOnor in scales.
Robert grew FESTIVE.
"Iou nave tempted me away from
Agaths-"
II tempted you'll" she said scornfully.
! GU, you siren; and now will YOU de-
fraud me of my prize? You won't be so
cruel, Juliette!''
She gave him one of her dazzling

OF rough slope which ended in massive
rocky rampant which the sea besieged
year after year: it had followed out great
hollows IN the rock, and carved fantastic
seats and odd inches where one could sit
and watch the sea IN safety, in ordinary
times. But to-day there had been great
storm, and the mighty waves came in
with roar like wild creature, and, go

But Agatha waved her back, They
saw the pitious look On her face as she
stepped lower down, nearer the awful
whirl Of waters.
"Good Heavens!'' cried Robert
doesn't she know better than to venture
over the rocks when the sea is like this2'
Gan awful shrek from Juliette cut
short his words. A mountain of water
came in; it broke with a crash that shook
the solid earth beneath them and drown
ed their wild cries, and then, with sui
len moan, felt back. But it bore upon
its bosom something whittier than its
foam! 1t tossed about the froth of gold
en- hair that shone for an instant and van
ished.
And through al the white horror on
heir faces, through all the shock and
grief, was the one though Agatha was
out of the way!
4 week later there was new grave in
the churchyard, and new mistress a.
Seacliff.
One who well became the position
thought Robert Fielding, as he entered
the drawing-room and saw her in her
deep mourning robes, which only en-
HANGED her superb beauty, She met
him with sweet, cold courtesy. He had
meant to take her in his arms and kiss her.
Why did he not7 What fine invisible
barrier shut him out from her?

"Juliette, you know l would have

him as she glided from the room, and left

remorse. For now all his thoughts be-
