form is late in coming, but now IL Is
under way II appears that only very
poor argument can be sound against H.

considered as possibly sound is based
on the constitutional question. which is
purely technical matter for the law

eide. II the Constitution does not make
the transfer possible then the early re-
vision of that instrument is more

And she ran upstairs to put on her
hat and cloak.
Five minutes later. Charles Hyde.
standing beside one of the windows in
the upstairs corridor, watched his
uncle and Marjorie depart.
He watched them down the drive,
through the gate, and out of sight;
then, very coolly, and as though he was
doing the most natural thing in the
world, he crossed the corridor and en-
tered Marjorie's bedroom.
Locking the door carefully behind
him, he produced bunch Of keys Of
all shapes and sizes, and began, with
great deliberation, to fit them, one at
ter the other, into the locks Of the
drawers.
The fifth he tried was successful,
and revealed to his view the writing
desk, of which Marjorie had spoken.
The lock of this too, was tried, and
with the same success.
The same with the little box within
it. and finally he held in his hand the
tiny ivory box containing the bit of
blue enamel.
At this moment there came low,
hurried tap at the door.
Without a moments hesitation, he
crossed the room and opened it.
Madeline, her cheeks flushed, her
eyes feverishly bright, stood outside,
wrapped in a dressing gown.
Have you finished?" she painted.
"She is coming down the lane. Sac
will be here in five minutes
'She may be here in one minute if
she chooses" said Charles Hyde,
coolly.
He put all the things into their re-
spective places again-all but the BIZ
of blue enamel; that he had slipped
inside his own purse-and prepared to
leave the room.
"Have you got it," cried Madeline,
excitedly, seeming in an agony of sus'
pense.
'Safe enough. I hope she won't miss
1t for day or two. And if you are
wise you won't say a word of all thli
to anyone-to anyone, mind YOU"
And he looked at her with signif1-
canoe.
II won't" she answered family, and
then she hurried back to her oWp
room.

The Colosseum is the name given to
the Flavian Amphitheater in Rome, a
large edifice for gladiatorial combats,
fights of wild beasts and similar sports.
1t was begun by Vespasian, who died
A. D. 70. and finished by Titus. 80 A.
d.. when to mark the event games and
Sights were held, in which it is said
that 5000 animals and large number
of gladiators were killed. The amphi-
theater was 1,641 feet around, 615 feet
long, $40 feet broad and was in the
form of an eclipse. and seated 81 200
persons. The marble with which it
was originally lined has been used to
build the palaces of modern Rome.
More than 400 varieties of plants have
been found in the ruins.

CHAPTER VI.
Madeline's Warning.

MaQ6nnoS w aTulnS.
The next day, Madeline was well
enough to sit up in cosy little room
adjoining her bedchamber.
There was, indeed, no reason why
she should not have gone downstairs
but this she seemed strangely reluct'
ant to do.
She looked even more beautiful than
she had been before her illness.
Her paleness made her eyes seem
larger and darker.
There was a softened, chastened
look on her face, which became it well,
and made Marjorie's heart go out to-
wards her with added tenderness.
The two girls were alone together
during the earlier part of the day.
Marjorie thought Madeline seemed
sad, and wondered why.
In her heart she suspected that the
sadness had some reference to Edgar
Hyde.
Marjorie, when did Mrs. Thornton
say she should return to England?'
asked Madeline, breaking a rather long
silence, during which she had seemed
sunk in painful thought.-Mrs. Thorn

| thoughts, and, in a moment, by a
strong effort, became calm again.
I'm frightening you, Marjorie" she
said, with a faint. sad smile Forgive
me. I am a little weak STILL and [
| suppose that is what makes every
| thing look so gloomy to me just now.
Let us talk of other things. You have
not told me if you will do as | wish,
and go to Mrs. Thornton as soon as
she returns to England"
eff you really wish it, Of course
| will" said Marjorie-not coldly-she
was too fond of Madeline for that-but
sadly, and with some show of sur
prise.
81 do wish it, Marjorie. can't tell
you why-not now But some day you
shall know, and then you will see that
| l acted for your good"
I'm sure of that; and I'll do what
ever you wish, Madeline"
my father will try to persuade you
to stay, and-and others as WELL" said
Madeline. But let no one persuade
you, no one," she repeated vehemently,
though still in that hushed tone. "Be
firm, and let them see you have quite
made up your mind. If you stay here,
you are"
She paused abruptly, almost as
though in terror.
What the word was she had arrested
on her lips, Marjorie could not guess:
but she saw the wild energy of her
glance.
The next moment there came a tap
at the door
1T is my father" whispered Made
line. Mind, not word Of this to
him"
She threw herself languidly back
among the downy cushions of her easy
chair and assumed a negligent, grace
full calm.
Come in" she called; and her ia
ther entered, and with him his neph
eW, Edgar.
|, "My dear, this Is pleasant" was the
elder mans greeting. Ito see you up
and dressed after these days. I'm SO
glad. my Lowell"
And he stopped and kissed her. She
WINGED as though his lips burnt. Mar
jorie saw this and wondered
Then Edgar Hyde advanced and first
taking his cousins hand, kissed her on
the lips.
The blood surgeu into her face, Der
whole frame trembled.
Fixing her beautiful eyes full upon
oh $TUn
which was inandible to all save him,
but there was no mistaking the re-
proachfulness of her tone
He answered lightly, and with a
laugh.
She whispered further word or two
and the blood mounted to his brow,
while look of hot displeasure fired
his eyes.
He dropped her hand and stood be-
side the window, looking out rather
moodily.
Marjorie slipped quietly away. She
felt she was not wanted.
Whether anyone noticed her depart
ure or not, no one tried to stop her
not even Madeline.
She went downstairs with troubled
heart. For one thing, she didn't wanT
to go to Mrs Thornton.
She would rather have remained at
neutrality-suspicious. where she could
be in the all too fascinating company
of Charles. Hyde.
And the other thing, the thing that
troubled her most of ALL was that she
was certain Madeline had meant to
warn her against this very Charles
Hyde when she had said. with such ex-
traordinary vehemence:
Marjorie, never, never love unless
you are certain the man is worthy Of
you, and that he loves you with pas
sion equal to your own. II you do you
would be happier dead!"
