Doing Pennnce for Sins.

In former times persons guilty OF
grievous and notorious oflenses were
required to make open confession. and
further to make satisfaction for the
scandal given by their bad example by
doing penance publicly in white
sheet in their parish church. The sheet
was used to show clearly to everyone
which was the offender. The last time
that public penance was done in an
English church was on Sunday even.

CHAPTER XII.

II ask him! Do you dream for one
moment that I shall ask him for it,"
Evelyn opened her eyes in amazement.
She began to think she had perhaps
made a mistake in pretending she had
been an interested listener to the re-
cent conversation.
"Certainly! Did you not understand
me? You have merely to say you
wish for the check in order to COM

you quite agree with me?"
And do you suppose that Major
Browns suspicious will not be aroused
at once?" exclaimed Evelyn, caring
nothing either for her aunt's or for
Falkland's opinion upon the subject.

worse than useless!"

land must know better than you."
He may, Of course; but, for all that.
I should not like to be the one to
make the attempt. II you think your

Major Brown yourself?" she added,

been? I thought you were lost" ex-
claimed her ladyship by way of greet
ing. Ring the bell. dear, and say we
are ready for coffee. They are later
than usual this evening""
But Evelyn did not utter word
as she passed silently through into
the sitting room. At the sight of the
Major her heart had given one tre-
mendous bound, and now it was beat
ing almost to suffocation. What was
he doing there? What could be the
reason? Never before had she seen
either her aunt or Falkland making
themselves so obviously agreeable to
him. Never before had he even been
made welcome to their room.
Miss Luttrell'-it was Falkland
who had followed her through the
window-"th;s will be your opportu-
nifty, You cannot have better
chance. Go out the instant your aunt
leaves the veranda, and in as casual
way as possible try to gain posses

At the sound of the low. rather hur-
ried words. Evelyn started slightly and
suddenly dropped the parasol which
she was swinging slowly to and fro
in her hand.
"The check!" she gasped. gazing
wildly round.
There was no need to wonder any
longer what the unusual affability
meant. The Major had not been pro-
claimed innocent Of the forgery, as
she in a vague sense Of despair had
almost imagined. 1t was clear why he
had been welcomed so warmly into
their private room: and yet. as her
eyes rested for one brief moment upon
the accused as he stood talking to
her aunt. handsome. wonderfully dis

uuence, and We must secure it
II not by fair means-well. in such a
case as this I suppose any means are
allowable!"
Evelyn's only answer was a deep
sigh as she rose slowly to her feet and
turned away with strange inexpli-
cable longing TO he left alone to her
own thoughts. conflicting ores though
they we're. to be worried by no more
cross-ouestioning or cynical taunts
concerning the man whom. despite her
short acquaintance with him and her
cunts strong prejudices. she was be-
ginning to regard with something
which was not exactly mere interest.
No wonder. therefore. that this lat
est affair had been to her like blow.
that for the time being she was SIM
NV stunned by the seriousness Of the
discovery. She could hardly believe
that everything had been done with
one aim and object In view. that all
the Majors attentions. his numerous
little acts OF kindness to both her aunt
and herself. had been part of deeply
laid scheme. 1t was too terrible to
think how easily she had been duped.
how she had been carried away by his
we'll assumed courtesies. in many cases
falling readily into the traps which
had been so ingeniously contrived for
her. Yet, as she reviewed the past
two weeks. it seemed incredible to her
that it should really be so-that a
man who could commit such DELHI
crate felony could at the same time
possess such fascinating manners and
appear, as he always did. so thorough
L. at his ease.
It was growing dark when Evelyn
reused herself YEARLY from her some
what harassing reveries, and turned
her footsteps in the direction Of the
brilliant lamplight which was stream
ing forth from Lady Towards room.
Her aunt had disappeared some time
previously, alarmed no doubt by the
heavily falling dew. and it was only
as the hour was struck by some dis
tant clock that Evelyn remembered
she would be waiting for her to make
her coffee.
Great was her establishment. how
ever. as she drew slowly nearer and
nearer, to hear the sound of voices
and to behold not only her aunt. but
two other figures sitting in the shade
Of the veranda. One was Falkland
she would have recognized his pale,
rather MISUNDERSTANDING face a mile
away-and the other Oh it was alb
surd! She must be dreaming! 1t was
beyond the bounds Of possibility! 1t
could not lie Major Brown!
Whether It was beyond the bounds Of
possibility Or not, It was certainly the
Major who sprang up at her approach,
and who moved his chair to one side
to allow her to pass with that same
spontaneous courtesy which had struck
her from the first. q

She wished he would not thrust his

he knew how detestable his presence
was to her, she wondered he had not

the veranda or to absent himself en-

rest of the evening. But not SEEM

Evelyn gave little gesture Of i'm

even If Falkland was annoying her. 1t
would never do for Major Brown to
suffer in consequence. With tits OBJ

cup of coffee, when Falkland stretched
out his arm before her and placed one

Evelyn murmured some word OF

was 1t that arrested her attention?
What was it that made her start. bend
hastily towards the cup. and then.
growing winter than ashes, look round
at Falkland?
"By fair means" or "any means"
Those were the words he had uttered:

lands calm reply as he turned away
and, without even attempting to argue
the point further. walked across to the
other side Of the room.
Evelyn looked after him with an air
| of satisfaction. and then drew sigh
of relief. She was agreeably surprised
by the way in which he had received
her refusal: knowing that he. owed
the Major a grudge from the very first,
she had felt that, If he could annoy

eddy avail himself Of the earliest OPP

considering how determined he had
been a short time ago to secure that
check without an instant's delay? He
was taking her decided refusal to help
him in his scheme with wonderful
piacidity. Yes-he was too calm-far
too calm. He must have some other
plan in his head. Some other plan?
Clearly he was not the kind Of man
to be so plainly baked.
The entrance of one of the walters

thoughts for a moment. Moving slow
