CHAPTER XVIII.

Herewnrd has spent the morning in a
strange state of mind, a state which is mix
ture of bitter and sweet, of rest and unrest,
of pleasure and pain. His own implication
in the affair of the murder is the least of his
troubles; he scarcely gives it a thought. But
the bitterness, the unrest the pain, comes
from the knowledge of his feelings towards
Lady Gladys Palliser, and the knowledge
that his hours in her presence are numbered.
If his hours of life were numbered, it could
not add much to his despair.
But there is one sweetness amid the bitter,
one pleasure in the pain, one rest i'll oil the
unrest, and that is the thought that he has
borne something for her sake. And there is
the memory of her voice, Of her eyes, of the
touch of her hand. She will never know
what these have been to him +; but he knows !;
and for everything that the future may hold
for him of happiness he would not give up
their memory. His future cannot be very
happy, he tells himself vaguely.
In the midst of these rOuories, Lady Gladys
comes into the room. She finds Hereward
pacing up and down the floor, and she stands
before the fire, looking at him. For two or
three minutes she does not speak,
''NIr. Hereward," she says at last, 'they
have found the handkerchief.
Hereward has paused in his walk, and con-
fronts her. looking down into her face.
''what will they do now ?" he asks quietly.
'They will place you under arrest"
Hereward neither starts nor changes color.
''NIr. Hereward release you from your
promise"-Lady Gladys's voice trembles o
little, but not much.
81 do not wish to be released. There u
only more necessity than ever for keeping
our knowledge to ourselves"
'You do not see whit that incurs. You
are no longer free agent you dare not
leave this house. There are people watch
ing your every movement"
AZ am not going to try. 1t would only do
harm to our cause.
LIT certainly would But you cannot allow

dance in thcm that even the trouble on lip
and brow cannot efface or disguise. Miss
Middleton is not without O suspicion of the
cause !; and even her careless nature is startled
by the inevitable results.
She has no idea of what has come to pass
with regard to the murder, so called. Those
concerned have kept it o profound secret.
The great fear is that the Countess should
hear of it. So far she has not done so ; and
Hereward hopes that affairs can be so man.
aged that that she shall never hear of it. He
also puzzles Miss Middleton. She suspects
that he and Lady Gladys have come to some
understanding yet she knows perfectly well
that any hope on their part is impossible.
Yet Hereward remains at Kingscourt! Sic
is little piqued that this dark knight has
found that he can love again, and yet proved
SO impervious to her own destinations.
Hereward is talking to Lady Gladys in the
window of the red drawing-room while
Miss Middleton sings. Lady Gladys is re-
Ginning again in her velvet chair, he stand
ing near her, watching the Frightening sky.
A servant comes with message-some one
wants to speak to Mr.. Hereward
Hereward has presentiment that the
game is up, but he leaves the room quietly
without word.
III Inc uaAll SIanu Two pOI1ce-O1ncerS In
plain clothes, who come forward to meet him
the moment he appears, and arrest him in
the name of the Queen.
Hereward surrenders very quietly. He
sees through the open doorway a group of
men waiting outside in the darkness, among
them Mr.. Cartwright, in his large black felt
hat. Hereward sets his teeth rather savage
ly as he buttons on his white oilskin coat.
He has taken his hat from the stand, and is
preparing to accompany the officers, when
Lady Gladys, in her black velvet dress,
with pearls on her white throat, and in her
ears, and o face as white as the pearls, comes
softly into the hall. She does not delay for
q moment-she does not hesitate, but, going
to Herewsrd, puts both arms round his neck
as he bends his head.
my dazzling" he whispers into her ear.
81 shall never see you again, but I shall
never forget you, she answers softly.
Mr.. Cartwright cannot hear the words,
but he can see Hereward bend to kiss her,
he can see her arms about his neck. And.
with q smothered imprecation, he shouts to
the men to bring him out-what are they
delaying FORE
With the memory of that parting Hereward
goes, more than content.

| She does not go through any form Of sa1us

fully as he comes forward to the fire. His
face is rs white as the muff1er round his
throat she can see how trembles, even though
he has not taken off his great-coat. He resta
one hand on the mantelpiece, and stands

At dinner that evening Miss Middleton is
greatly exercised in her mind. She cannot
understand the position of affairs. Her OVID
attention being no longer claimed exclusive
ly by Lieutenant Richard Blount-ho having
taken his departure after luncheon-she has
leisure to look about her, and what she sees
perplexes her.
Lady Gladys, in her sombre black velvet,
looks almost as pale as she did at the break
fast that morning. She had not lost that So

At the conference Rev. A. G. Biggs,

being the first ever delivered in the new
church. The church has not yet been
seated, but impromtu seats have been
made OF secondhand benches, chairs
and plank. Among the members Of the
conference can be seen the face of Rev.
Felex. A. Knox, who was once wild
printer. He is now Kno(x)ing away at
the devils dominion, and hopes to dis

down.
Politics are beginning to warm up

to see them mOnke! ing around amongst
