She raised her hand to stop his words
She gsspd upon him ia confederation
md dismay. She had grown deadl,
pale.
You arc entirely Mistaken she said.
No ono has been false TO me. I my

And she looked up with . ~reproachfuI

Oscar Gerard was furiously angry

the 'front.' he said, between ret teeth.
Miss Clifton was taken aomewha,
aback by the accusation, which she fell
that she could not altogether DENY.
However, she called her womnn's wit to
her aid, and rose to the emergency.

woman's happiness should be concealed
within his own breast
It was not long after this that Agnes,
in . spirit Of restlessness that now often
assailed her, went out alone 10 walk.
The evening Was tranquil and warm,
and she went towards the bridge that
apannsd the pretty little river. As she
walked along the foot-path, she noticed
with sudden horror that the rail Of the
car track was broken for some distance,
