life she had sold herself into; Il was a
bondage which did not grow more en-.
durable with time. and the presence

In tho cold. presently became n great
necessity To her. There was nothing
vulgar or commonplace about Ma
belle. She seemed 10 cherish no resent
ment toward her sister; she obcdienlly
went and took up her residence in the
dull. grand house where Angela lived
with Mr.. fordyce. They never qusr.
relied. or rather they had not quar-
relied since o occasion on which An
gcla. with tho dullness Of feeling com.

lead the conversation 10 the subject OF
the Masseys in general. and Of Philip Ia

But Angela had never tempted Ma
belle 10 carry her threat into execution.
Mabelle had a kind OF alteration for
Grace Massey. and what she considered

inviting her 10 her home. She had al.
ready visited more than once At Red

Mabelle laughed. Grace produced n
long. pointed basket. like n canal-bnat,
containing Knitting. and began 10 work
diligently with the fingers which were
never idle.
"What \ little lar thing you are.
