like to hear him. He interests me"
sit was not who thought of IL, but
Jaffray, answered Lola 81 mustn't
claim credit that belongs to him."
"Well, you came to fetch me at any
rate" replied Beryl, with smile that
warmed her face and lighted it. Then
in different tone she said as they went
down stairs together: IN Turrian is a
strange character. He seems to show q
new side every time see him. / have
not heard him before in the role of story
teller.
"Have you not?" answered Lola in
differently. 81 am rather surprised at
that. He prides himself on his powers
a good deal, and Jaffray thinks much
of him on account of Them"
But though Lola had answered light
ly she had an instinct that there was
something behind the remark which
menaced mischief.
AS the two entered the drawing room
together Lola glanced round her rapid
", with curious sense that in some
way a crisis was at hand; but, meeting
her husbands eyes, which rested upon
her with an expression of warm love,
she smiled him back signal and went
and stood close to him, as though safe
in the strength of his protection.
Beryl crossed to Mrs. De Witt and sat
by her, looking chilled and half re-
strained, taking the chair which M.
Turrian offered her with exaggerated
gesture and politeness.
Then the Frenchman went to the
piano, where Lola and her husband
stood together, and sang to Lola's ac-
compartment.
When he sang, it was difficult to
think of him as connected with any
thing evil He had marvelously rich
and sweet tenor voice, which he used
with consummate skill as the vehicle of
every phase of emotion.
Beryl sat listening half in dream,
leaning back in her chair and drinking
in the intoxicating sweetness of the
mans voice as it swept at will the I'M
DERIVING chords of her nature.
"Satan certainly had voice like
that when he sang to Eve about that

She took folded paper from her pook-
ct as she spoke, and her fingers did
not tremble in the least as she unfolded
it.

she continued, "and in the course OF
my stay visited the Chapel of st. Sui

found an entry which has been a most
painful puzzle to me. 1t is that OF the
marriage of a certain Pierre Turrian
with Lola Crawshay. Here is copy.
Can you tell me what 1t means?"
AS she said this Beryl looked him
steadily in the face and held out the
paper for him to read.
He took it from her and read it, hold
ing it with fingers which with all his
efforts he could not keep from trembling
violently, while his face turned to the
CHASTITY ashen color which she had seen
once before when she had told him in
their first interview that Lola was mar
ried to Sir Jaffray.
She recalled that incident as she stood
watching him steadily with eyes that
never left his face and waiting for the
answer, which he seemed absolutely un-
able to force from between his lips.
And with every moment Of silence
the strain increased.

CHAPTER XI.
BERYL SPEAKS.

Almost as soon as the four ladies
reached the drawing room old Lady
Walcote pleaded a headache for an ex-
cuse to go to her rooms and carried
away Beryl with her.
"Now, then, my dear, let us settle
ourselves for a quiet chitchat in the
corner here, 4" said Mrs. De Witt as soon
as she and Lola were alone, "and let's
be comfortable Tell me, who's your
friend? / like him rather, but shouldn't
care to like him much"
''Do you mean NJ. Turrian?"
swell, don't mean Sir Jaffray, do
/? And when say friend ! can't mean
q woman, can I?"
Hes no friend of mine" replied
Lola indifferently. He's here because
Jaffray asks him.
swell, my dear, of course he is. "
And she laughed significantly.
81 mean that do not want him
here" said Lola rather warmly, resent
ing her companions tone.
"Oh, it's that way, is it? He is the
snarer, is he? Has it been that way
with him long? How long is it since
you refused him?''
Lola laughed in her turn.
"You think there must always be
that kind of tie, eh?''
"Not always, but in this case yes
Else why is he here, my dear? But he's
not clever when he drinks, and if there
had been 90 people at the table tonight
they could all have seen that there was
some sort of relationship between you

quaintance or friendship"
Its just as easy for 30 people tC
make mistake as one" returned Lola
again warmly.

the interruption, land you can be very
angry with me if you like. Never have

LAS there was no one about to see
her, can quite believe she did it, and
Use no doubt the man deserved it, "
E.id Mrs. De Witt viciously.
"And you, Miss Leycester"
"I am not skilled in the casuistry Of
murder defenses, replied Beryl coldly.
but if this was such a CHASTITY place
how did the man escape?" asked the
baronet.
Ellis clothes were caught on tree in
some miraculous way, and after time
of suspense, in which his wits nearly
left him, he was rescued"
Lola had schooled herself to reveal
no sign of the painful and absorbing
interest with which she listened to the
story, but at this she could not avoid a
quick, sudden exclamation:
"Ahp'
''This part of the story interests you,
Lady Walcote?" said the Frenohman,
turning and looking fixedly at her.
"No more than the rest, she replied,
keeping her voice under control with an
effort the strain of which was begin
ming to tell upon her, and she gripped
her hands tightly together ON her lap as
she saw the calm, clear, gray eyes of
Beryl LEICESTER scrutinizing first her
self and then the Frenchman, as if she
understood that duel was going on be-
tween them.
The scene was photographing itself
on Lola's memory. The soft yellow of
the lamplight. the lovely flowers ON the
table, those at the table turning to lis
ten to the Frenchman's words, his atti-
tude as he bent forward and leered, half
threateningly, half jeeringly and all
audaciously, at her, and through the
flowers and ferns Sir Jaffray, upright
and handsome, listening with the rest,
as unconcernedly as if it were a tale
which in nowise touched the fringe of
his life.
How would he look if he knew who
the murderess was?
The thought flashed across Lola's
brain just as she forced herself to speak
in tone of polite but casual interest.
Her own voice sounded to her like that
of another.
''And what did he do next?"
"Ah, that was not conventional. re-
piled NJ Turrian, turning to smile ON
Mrs. De Witt, but looking back almost
directly to Lola, with the expression
which TO Beryl had seemed like chal-
lenge and a defiance. "He went his
way. He said to himself, This is no
common act, and the vengeance shall
be like it. +"
"Quite theatrical, murmured Mrs.
De Witt "But what was the end,
please?"
HE let her remain, madame, under
the impression that she had killed him.
He hid himself, and to this hour he has
never revealed the truth. He is waiting
until she has taken some step which
will make his temperance her ruin,
and then he will strike, choosing his
own time"
'What a pity he didn't die" ex-
claimed Mrs. De Witt.
Hes rather a cold blooded brute,
professor. Shouldn't care for many such
friends" said the baronet.
docs he come from Montreux?"
asked Beryl, and the Frenchman, turn
ing hastily round, met the calm, search
ing gaze of the girl fixed keenly ON him,
and in an instant recognized what a
clumsy blunder he had made, and while
he was muttering in some confusion a
vigorous denial Lola, who had turned
pale despite her fight for self control,
rose from the table, and at the signal
the ladies left the room.

Then the Erenchman pent to the piano
and sang.
APPLE" said Mrs De Witt, leaning
across to whisper to Beryl and ending
with raspy, jerky laugh of shallow
cynicism, which she much affected.
The words broke up reverie in
which Beryl was castle building.
He sings magnificently," she as
sented, with slight frown at the inter
ruption.
who is he, my dear? Doyou known"
asked Mrs. De Witt, who was very tired
Of listening in silence even to the sing
ing and was, moreover, very curious to
know more about the Frenchman.
''Sir Jaffray will probably be able to
tell you much more about him than l
can," replied Beryl, who did not want
to talk and certainly had no intention
VI speaking to Mrs. De Witt ON the sub
ject
"Quite conspiracy of silence, was
the sharply spoken reply, and moment
afterward she added: 81 only wanted to
know whether he'd do to have at ones
house in town. What do you think,
Beryl?"
"a voice like his would cover any
other faults for that sort of thing. Let
us listen to him, dear" And Mrs. De
Witt, struggling her shoulders impa-
tiently at this fresh failure to find out
anything about the singer, sank back in
her chair and was not contented until
she caught Sir Jaffray's eye and beck
oned him to her side.
Meanwhile Beryl sat and listened
and picked up again the broken thread
of her thoughts, watching the two at
the piano and turning now and then to
glance at the handsome figure of the
baronet, who sat listening to the chat
ter of the lively little woman at his side,
but looking at his lovely wife with his
heart in his eyes.
1t was a strange position, and as
Beryl thought Of it all it dazed and
confused her, and she wondered if what
she thought or rather what she believed
she knew could possibly be true, and
as often as her eyes rested ON Sir Jaf-
fray, knowing his honest, sterling honor
and mindful of her old unshakable love
for him, she was filled with a deep pity
for him on account of the blow which
might fall at any moment, glooming his
life.
But her face hardened and her heart
steeled when she looked toward the
woman who had come between her and
her cousin, filling her life with the
blight of lovelessness
One step she resolved to take, an6
that at once. She would speak to the
Frenchman, and this resolve she put il
force the next day.

morning she waited for an opportunity

senator Mills Introduces Resolution
bearing on Cuba.
Washington, April 1.-The senate
spent the larger part of it's session
Wednesday in secret conclave. At12:25
1t proceeded to the consideration of ex-
ecutive business and that included not
only the arbitration treaty but the
question of filling the vacancies on the
standing committees. The only mat
tiers of public interest that occurred in
the open session were two resolutions
on the subject of Cuba; and both Of
them went over without action till to-
day. The first was one offered by SEN
ator Mills (dem., Tex.), instructing the
committee on foreign relations to in
guire what obligation, if any, the United
States has assumed toward the people
Of Cuba by asserting and maintaining
the right to prevent the acquisition of
the island by any European power and
compelling them to remain subject to
the dominion of Spain. The other was
that offered Tuesday by Senator Nor
gan (dem., Ala.), in relation to the let
ters from Maxine Gomez to Presidents
Cleveland and Mckinley. At four p. M.
the senate adjourned.
Confirmed.
Washington, April 1. - The senate
confirmed the following nominations:
Joseph L, Bristow, of Kansas, to be
fourth assistant postmaster-general;
Henry Clay Evans, of Tennessee, to be
commissioner of pensions; Thomas
Ryan, of Kansas, to be first assistant
secretary Of the interior.
