Mark Jermyn had no distinct conscious
ness of going ont of the house into the
street. lie had come TO see her that
night because the love which had grown
up in his heart for her had overmastered
HIM at last. Three days before he had
been on the verge of betraying himself.
But he had conquered. He must sue
coed first in the task set him to do, OF
hunting down not only a murderer, but
traitor.
Some other thought, too, governed
him. He knew that she had some IN
terest in the man he was bringing to
iustice-not the interest Of love. He,
with wonderful keenness of perception,
both natural and trained. had discovered
that this murderer was an adherence to
her. But still she shielded him. And a
sense of honor and delicacy intensely
strong, in spite OF the profession he fol-
lowed. forbade his trying to win her love
till he could first show himself IN his
natural colors. He had remembered
that another day or two must bring his
task 10 an end. The net, which not only
caught this red-handed fugitive from JUS
tice, but gang OF evil confedettes, was
closing in on them. This very night his
plans we're to De put into execution. IL
would be a proceeding OF no little peril,
and he had come to have one last look at
her in Case
And now when he had thought his
quarry secure in a totally different quar-

house where All the modification

That evening began al acquaintance
which confined. Janet tried bard at
first to break 1t of, but she yielded at
last to the gentle but irresistible per
sistence he brought to bear on her.
There were moments when she became
conscious Of this quiet but relentless
VIII which had mastered her own III this
simple matter of acquaintanceship, and
then she was filled with fear and rebelled
against it, only to succumb again to the
charm she really found IN his society.
These moments of anger and revolt
became rarer as the days went on. After
all ii was pleasant 70 have companion
TO whom she could talk TO as an equal.
For he, too. she was certain, came from
different class to that surrounding him.
He was educated, clever, refined; but
as she kept her past to herself 50 did no
his, and they were both contentcd to
take the present as it was.
He had fallen into way OF almost
daily meeting her as she came home
from her work, and not day passed
without their exchanging greetings and
seeiug each other for al least few mo-
mentS. either in the house or streets.
Her old fear Of him vanished, and day
10y day some subtle sympathy, to be felt
bu: not expressed, drew them closer to
each other. II was such relief to her
loneliness. How lonely she had been
during the last few years she did not
know until she felt what this companion
was TO her now. Ii was such relief 10
that gnawing, horrible fear of snticipa-
ton which had haunted her solitude ever
since the day of the murder. Every
moment might bring to her what she
dreaded, with such dreadful. shrinking
repulsion. She was terrified at being
alone.
The simple, pleasant, frank friendship
between her and Mark Grey was very
heaven Of refuge and peace from her
own unrestful loneliness and that thing
which she dreaded But it was coming
near her, very near, and es she walked
and talked with tins man she little knew
that It VAS he who, III another life to the
one he showed 10 her, was ruthlessly
driving it on.
She had once asked him what his work
was, but he had evaded her question.

month after she had known him TO have

cold manner. For the next three days
she saw nothing Of him. He did not
even sleep in she house. 1t was at the
end Of these three days that she dIscoy-
cred by the loneliness caused by his alb
sence how pleasant their companionship
had been. She came home that third
evening feeling the old weary hstless-
ness and indifference OF life; but as she
turned the handle OF her door all that
was swept away in the great and shud-
dering horror that fell upon her. That
which she had dreaded had come. Her
