CHAPTER Mi.

About month after her chil6's
birth and urgent message came from
Strange's steward to Lady Strange.
He was very Ill and must see her.
She drove 10 bis house and found
him dying and infinitely concerned
that he could not deliver up his stew

was man who had always rather
suffered from hypertrophled con-
science, and perhaps he exaggerated
the Importance Of his office, and the
impossibnhy OF getting any one 10

pressed Gwen good deal, and rather
put her on her mettle.
After reviewing the situation, she
came to the conclusion that II no one
else could keep things straight She
would undertake to do 1t herself As
she took Off her things, new com
plleation struck her; TO do this she
must be on the spot, aud how would
that suit her father?
She was no ther absent and full Of
