But, while filed with indignation at
| the brutal manner i'll which he had re-
ceived the communication OF the acct
dent that had so strangely befallen her,
and the abruptneSs of her dismissal, she
/ longed 10 know whether he had recov-
| cred from the effects of his ungovernable
rage. and also whether the missing ami
nal had been found and rest pred.
OF course she dared question no one
about it, and her only resource was TO
the village daily paper, which she read
with eagerness, but no reference was
! ever made TO the subject.
! Occasionally. DR.. Efenstein called To
! see Lady Claire, but the bare inquiry
/ after the baronet's condition was all She
| felt at liberty 10 make.
/ The reply ever was that Sir Reginald
/ nervous system was in such terrible
state that it was impossible for him to
/ improve a yet.
| The manner of the Doctor toward her
| self She thought constrained and re-
served, and this gave her intense pain.
! She feared that lie did not approve of
4 her course, and imagined, fl ON his quiet
i appearance. that her refusal t. acquaint
! him with the nature Of her fault might
cause him 10 magnify the error into a
| positive crime.

GOODNESS was assumed, merely, 10 hide
i the real state of his affections in order
I to attend 10 the "a red duty which he

! published the entire trial of Fit2rov
/ Glendcnuing. and had noted the fact that
/ the valet Antoine Duyal. had testified
against him By relating his unfortunate
/ words, spoken IN 4 moment OF intense
! excitement.
/ The thought had then occurred 10 him
! that this Antoine might be impIf ated III
/, the deed of darkness tina. had SO immed-
! lately followed
4 Lately, his whole spare time had been
occupied in trying to trace out the move

! For some time al that he could dis

/ Reginalds employment about a year after
the murder, and then had suddenly left
/ the place and departed to some region
unknown.
! One day lie accidentally entsred the
village postotfice just as the postmaster
