 But how many times had you seen him bcfnr';' put in my lady very prrtinrutIy. "Only once"
 In answer to that could do nu moro than give further assurauCCu of my certain ty on the point It was the man saw in the boat at Greenwich. " declared r0s itiVrly "Why should imagine it."
 An the same. trust y"u have " sho rvjuincd, for if it Was indeed that arch scoundrol We are undonc,
 ''Imaginntiun plays queer tricks sometimes. Master Lindstrum said, with smile of much meaning. but comr lad, will ask Dymphna, though think it Iisrirss tn du su, for whether you are right or wrong as tu your friend will an swrr for il yuu are wrng aS tu my daugh tcr'
 He wus rising tn go from them for the purpu>r when Mistress Anne opened the door and cano in. She luuk"d somewhat startled at finding us all in C"nclavo. Il thought I heard your voiccs," sho ex- plainrd timidly, standing between Us and tho door. II could not sleep"
 Shr looked indeed as if that wCro so. Her eyes wrro very bright, and thoro was n bright spot of crimson in each check. What Is it?' she wont on abruptly, look ing hard nt mo and shutting her lips tight ly. There was s0 much to explain that no one had taken it in hand tu begin.
 It is just this, the duchess said, open- ing her mouth, with snap. Have you been with DN mphna all tho timc:''
 ''Nrs, of course, was the prompt hn- swcr.
 "Whnt is she doing:"
 "DoIng?" Mistress Annc repeated in Surprise, She is asleep"
 Has she h. cn out since nightfall?" the duchess continued. Out of her room? Or out of the huusr:"
 "Out2 Certainly not. Before sho fell asleep shc Was in no state to go out, as you know, though l hope sho will he all right when she aw"k,s, Who says she has been out;" Anne added sharply. She looked at mo with a challenge in her eyes, as mach as to say ''Is ii you7" II am satisfied, l sHid, that was mistaken as to Mistress Dymphna But 1 am just as surc as hrfurc that saw Clar- enCr.
 "Clarrncc," Mistress Anno repeated, :. starting violently and tho color for an in stunt fleeing from her checks. She sat down on the nearest seat
 You need not hc afraid, Anne" my lady said, smiling. ShO had wonderfully high courage herself. II think Master Francis was mistaken, though ho is so certain about it.
 But wherc-whCro did hc sec him?" the girl asked. She still trcmblcd. Once moro had to tell the tale, Mistress Anne, | as was natural, listening to 1t with tho livclicst emotions. And this time so much of the ghost story had to bo introduced, l for she pressed mC closely as to where I had left Clarence and why 1 had let him r" that my assuranCcs got less crodence than ever
 II think I sco how it is, '' sho said, with sauCy sCOrn that hurt me not little. ] "Mastcr Carcy's nerves are in much the l same stato tonight as Dymphna's He thought he saw a ghost and he did not. He thought Inc saw Dymphna, and he did not. And he thought ho saw Master Clar- ] encc, and he did not ; Not so fast chld." cried the duchess ! sharply, seeing mo vince. Your tongue runs too freely. No ono has had better proofs of Master Carcy's cOurago-f 1T which l will answer nyself-than we 1 havc."
 "Thon he should not say things about Dymphna!" tho young lady retortcd, her foot tapping tho floor and tho red spots back in her checks. Such rubbish I | never hCardr"
