CHAPTER VIII.

Three weeks had passed since the night
on which Hildred had heard the true story
of her marriage. She had tried hard to
conquer the love of her husband which
Rad begun to spring up in her heart. She
4ried hard to do her duty, to school herself
ga the knowledge that for her life was to
be without love. But it was hard. She
was young and impressionable; the earl
was handsome and fascinating There
were times when an irresistible impulse
came over her-an impulse to beg him to
aoye her She resisted it and every time
she did so resist her heart grew colder
and harder.
'I4ord Caraven," said Hiidred, one day,
%'who is the person gentleman, l should
SAY, perhaps-who comes here so often ?'
''Do you mean John Blantyre, my faith
fut friend and steward?' he asked, laugh
ingly. "He comes every day"
as that his name? 1 do not like his
face"
Why not. Hildred?' he asked
TT is not the face of an honest man,
aanlcss Nature has for once made mis-
lake in her own handwriting"
II trust him mplicitly-indeed, do not
Ae,ieye | ever looked over his accounts"
She thought a great deal after that
conversation. 1t had opened her eyes
more fully to her husbands character
4f,an anything that had passed before
She decided to study him.
Was he generous? She thought at first
4hat she might say Eyes" They were
xid,ing ont one day, and they met poor
woman begging with little child in her
arms; she was poor, hungry, all in tatters,
foe nd
a pitiful spectacle of want and destitu-
aion. AS they passed by the earl took
out his purse and literally emptied it on
ahe ground at the woman's feet. She
booked dazed and bewildered at this sud
den bounty of fortune. He did not wait
for any thanks, but rode on.
II WISH" he said, that could collect
aN the poor people in the world together,
and make them rich"
WAS that generosity" she said to her
self Yes, it must be.
They rode on until they came to small
eoatage-one belonging to the Ravensmere
essate-at the door of which stood a man
sin young but crippled and bent double
swlth rheumatism. A little cry of pain
came from Hiidred's lips as she saw him,
Aut the young mans eyes were fixed with
nm evil light ON the earls face.
Mildred stopped to say kind word to
Assa. the cripple came out and stood in
4rent OF the earfs magnificent horse
