At the end Of that time she was sent
to boarding school.
In five years she graduated. a tall,
lovely girl with dark eyes and rayen-
black hair, and a gift of music which
her teachers declared would develope
into something wonderful.
One happy season she passed at home,
and then Noel Garvis aroused himself
to the fact that this girl, his child, as
he had always called her, was his hearts
love.
Yet he shrunk from making any pro-
posal to her, lest she should accept him
from feelings Of gratitude.
The thought was hateful to HIM.

or to win her himself.
Accordingly he made preparations
to send her abroad with married
couple of his acquaintance, but his plans
were overturned in most unexpected
manner.

Dubois engaged detective who had
been some time in tracing some appar.

Garvis could only confirm this belief,
and the day following Monsieur Dubois
