CHAPTER XVII,

Up and down the length Of her lux
nrious room Helen Reynolds swiftly
paced, one moment regretting the
madness Of her confession, the next
exultant in her power to meet and de-
fy her husband when the door slowly
opened: and admitted him into her
presence whom she had so grossly
wronged.
That something new-something be-
You'd the terrible scene Of the morning
had happened, one glance into his
face sufficed to tell her.
For the first time in her life she
feared him. One other man, in all the
past, had reused in her the element OF
fear; had Weakened the coward in her

flesh shrink and quail.
This man seemed to make her soul
recoil in terror. She paused in" he1
walk.
He closed and locked and barred the
door behind him; and then he crossed
the floor so near her that only a small
saable, covered with innumerabls costly
sfrifes, separated them.
n he swept a clear space. In QOluS 30
a vase of old and rare china fell to the
floor, and was shattered into a thou
sand pieces.
He paid no heed to it, but on the
space that he had made he spread out
a crumpled sheet of paper he had held
J tightly in his hand.
! One glance told her all. It was the
forged note. Now that she knew the
worst her strength rose to meet II.
There was still at her heart the same
cold, deadly shrinking, but she forced
herself to lift her eyes from the table
to his face, and rest there with defiant
Questioning.
