rough visitor quickly disappeared down
the rickety stairs.
Victoria's curiosity was aroused.
Wonderingly she unfolded the soiled
scrap OF paper and read these words :
''To-night, at IL o'clock" Laying the
the note beside the letter she quietly
resumed her work without disturbing
Robert, who still slept soundly.
Her suspicious of his associates were
confirmed. What repulslve companions
he must have if the man who brought
the note was one OF theml Towards
evening Robert awokc. He found in
his pockets few cents which he gave
Victoria to buy food with. After they
had broken their fast, she alluded to
the note, which Robert said he had read.
When she ventured to speak of the
letter from London, he said, al shall
not open it. l have enough trouble and
annoyance now aud do not intend to be
further harrassed:by reading q Sermon"
That night he went away earlier than

Victoria, again left alone, reflected
still more on his mysterious occupation.
She longed 10 follow him, but could not
leave her child, aud even il she could
what good would come of playing the
spy2 Sooner or later the truth must
come out. She both desired and dreaded
its disclosure. The fear that it would
bring disgrace and sorrow increased.
She took up the letter from the Earl
and looked at the envelope with some
curiosity. Why not open it2 Mol
Robert had broken all family ties for
her; there could be no good news or
loving message in the letter for either
Of them, or for their child. She replaced
it on the table without breaking the
seal.
Victoria retired carly that night, for
prolonged anxiety and hard, unaccus.
toned work had completely exhausted
her. She awoke at daybreak to find
that her husband had not returned.
Terrible fears crowded on her mind, and
deeper dread oppressed her when, at
10 o'clock he entered the room, his hand
bandaged, his clothes torn and spattered
with mud, and look of despair on his
once handsome face. He did not greet
Victoria or the child, but sank on the
cot and closed his eyes. Though tor
turcd with anxiety Victoria asked nc
questions, feeling it would only distress
him. After sleeping heavily for au
hour, Robert opened his eyes aud said:
"Vic;oria, do not admit any one who

account, nor save any food for me, but
bandasc my hand and will try to sleep
