boldly. Scarcely half an hour earlier she
had been able to steal away his senses and
make him subject 10 her. She was ready
TO renew the contest, though she realized
that a change had taken place in him.

His eyes Were cold and his voice was
stern. Unorna felt 3 very sharp pain and
shivered as though she were cold What
