 North stood in stupefcd silence for a moment, gazing at OReilly, but in l reality seeing only that sweet, pale face whose beauty had sgladdcned his eyes for one cruelty brief moment after I,nr long years of silence and mystery and separation. He was slow to recov- | CT his usual sane judgment, slow to | comprehend the significance of the i words that Dennis had spoken. Then in q rush tho strange developments of | the past hour, the strange confirmation of the past moment swept over him.
 Spring1ng eagerly into the carriage ] and nIotioniug O Reilly to the drivers i seat. he cried il sharp imperative tones: l
 ''ilrcre is no time to waste, Dennis! l Drive rIc 10 EvaEsburg as quickly as possible!'
