down to the edge Of green turf border
ing the road. From one of the glade
like openings two figures emerged in
front of our carriage, sauntering slow
ly along on the grass, too deeply alb
sorbed in conversation apparently to
be aware of our approach. One--a slim
girlish figure, dressed in black gar
ments, with graceful, fair head bowed
like a lily on it's stalk-was, as l knew
at once, Nona's; and it needed not the
rector's impatient exclamation and
sudden, quick jerk of the reins to tell
me that the slight, almost boyish figure
by her side was that of her cousin,
Charlie Branscombe.
In an instant the half-scotched SER
pent of jealousy was reused again and
stung me to the heart. All my old
doubts and suspicious rushed back like
a flood. Fool that had been ever to
dream of hope in the face of what
had seen and knew.
There was something of mockery in
the elaborate bow, returned by a curt
nod, with which Mr.. Charles Brans-
combe greeted the rector; and, as I
read it, a CLEAN Of triumph on the
handsome fair face in which I recog-
nized the fatal beaute de diable I had
heard described.
A passing glimpse Of Miss Brans-
combe showed me a half-startled, sur
prised glance of recognition-a swift,
shy blush, in return for the grave bow
with which acknowledged hers. The
meeting had upset the rector's equan-
unity as much as it had mine. He
spoke no more until we turned in at
the rectory gate.
