CHAPTER XVI.

Thus it happened, that although Mrs.
Bregy and her husband had been parted
for upwards OF tw nty years, he still
held the same power over her which he
possessed in the past and could control
her as easily as he had done when he
first made love to her on the benches in
Washington Park
With his wife Alphonse Bregy's Sc
cret was quite safe. Known as Mr..
limerick he was free % go and come as
he pleased without the world being any
the wiser regarding his identity.
Yet he was about to play desperate
game, and it would tax his deceptive re.
sources and daring spirit to the utmost
to carry 1t through to q successful issue.
The world must learn at once that Mrs.
Breezy had made a mistake in his iden-
tity, but the rest must transpire grad
ually. No suspicious must be raised.
One Of the first whom Mrs. Breezy
spoke to after telling her son of her dis
appointment was Mrs. Delaro. That
good lady was very ready with her sym
pathy, yet she was really glad that the
poor womans mind had at last been set
at rest "You will not Of course delay
your departure to France, now?' she
said to Mrs. Breezy.
NO" replied that lady. 1T is our in
tention to leave as arranged, and there
is one delightful circumstance connected
with my visit to Mr.. Emerick's which !
must mention"
Indeed, what is it?" asked Mrs. De-
laro
"It is this" said Mrs. Bregy. "Al-
though did not find husband in Mr..
limerick found friend" (Iow we'll
the natural cunning OF her race was
serving her at this time.)
THAT must be very agreeable" said
Mrs Delaro
ut happened this way. l told Mr..
limerick was going to France, and as
he also intends to 60 there this summer
he has resolved to start at once and ac-
company US. He also knows many peo-
pie at Amiensand can be Of great serv.
ice to u.s."
As Mrs. Bregy spoke these words the
stately Armida walked in, and after the
congratulations of the day she asked
Mrs. Breezy II they expected to spend
the whole OF the summer in sunny
France.
81 really can not TELL" was the an
swer. Eugene is talking OF going to
Paris for years study while l am la
boring with the lawyers at Amiens."
"Then he is going to act on my ad-
vice." said Armida, in pleased tone Of
voice which her mother thought seemed
almost absent-minded.
"I do not know whose advice II is, but
that is the determination which he has
expressed" answered Mrs. Bregy.
Sand are you not going to be in Lon
don at all during the year?" asked Ar
mida.
"We may 60 there, but it is almost
impossible to tell what we shall do un-
til the vexatious questions OF law are
settled" responded Mrs. Bregy.
"If you should go there" said Ar
mida, "you will either fnd us or hear OF
US at tho Hotel Metropole, Northumber-
land avenue"
"Then will make a note OF it," said
Mrs. Bregy, as she drew little book
from her pocket.
"Now, must go, for | have to 60
down to tho lawyers"
She had not been gone long when MIR.
Blodger called.
Since his old friend, Wilcox, died ho
had ceased to carry his scrap-book
around with him, and poetry seemed to
have vacated his soul for the time be-
ing. Ho had grown very prosaic, and,
as he said to Mrs. Delaro, he wasn't
feeling very we'll and as travelling
seemed to be the ordor OF the day,
