CHAPTER Wv.

March had announced. in name at
least, and in name alone. springs adj
vent, ere Helen Reynolds fears con-
corning the man who held such terrible
power over her, were realized.
AS the slow weeks had dragged
themselves along, she felt that each
snapped asunder a thread which held
her suspended over an awful abyss.
She was growing hard and desperate
under the cruel strain. She sometimes
wondered IL her mind would not give
way beneath II.
Day by day her wicked love was
kindled; day by day, as she watched
Harvey Barclays attentions In the
guise of friendship toward Grace, she
famed the fire of hate toward its mo
cent cause.
1t was the 10th of the month, and as
she sat before the fire, hugging Its
warmth and the misery of her own
thoughts, while without the cold winds
blew and the cold rains fell, the butler
entered. bearing on the salver In his
hand a note.
She had not seer the inscription, she
had not touched the paper, but she
knew that the sword had fallen. She
knew hat this was a message from her
past: she knew that 1t was the silent
voice of her master: she knew that
what II commanded she must obey.
"a note for you, Mrs. Reynolds" said
IN low. respectful tones.

as she stretched forth her hand to lift

CHAPTER XVI.

The clock had not struck 10 when
once more the wretched woman had
made her way, undiscovered, to the
safety and protection of her own room.
Here she hurriedly threw off her wet
things, and strove, before the blazing
fire, to restore some warmth to her
frozen limbs.
She was drenched to the skin. Her
face was deathly white, and her eyes
cleaned with a fierce, unnatural luster.
"You look like your w self to-
night, Helen Window" she mentally
articulated, as she caught sight of her.
self in the mirror.
A gentle knock sounded on her door,
but she made no movement that she
heard.
Crouching before the fire, and holding
out her white. jeweled hands to the
warmth of it's blaze, she tried to be-
lieve herself the victim only of some
hideous nightmare. Could 1t be that
that poor wretch who stood, an hour
ago, unsheltered in the storm and
darkness, shrinking at the sound of a
coarse voice and brutal threat. with the
rain beating on her head and the wind
whistling about her. was one with the
hugging the warmth Of the
bright fire, whose red glow spread tt
self through the luxurious room, and
revealed 1t a fitting nest for bird of
bright-hued plumage?
Well, IL the latter were the dream
the former, reality-at least the dream
should last a little longer.
She let the warmth penetrate every
nerve, and then h rose. and taking
from a case within one of the bureau
drawers. a tiny vial filed with some
dark liquid, she carefully dropped a
small measure OF the contents into a
glass, and lifted II to her lips.
Then she threw herself upon the bed,
and in fifteen minutes she was sleeping
the quiet sleep Of a weary child.
The family had assembled when she
entered the breakfast room mex morn
ing. Her husband sprang up to greet
her.
IT would not disturb you dear" he
said, "You are better?"
II am quite we'll" she answered, with
a smile, and took her accustomed place.
Al they rose from the table, Edgar
Reynolds paused az instant beside
Grace.

All his time he had made no effort
TO STOP her hurried u~tterances. Not
once had her voice risen above it's low
monotone, but 1t sounded like a vail

been forced TO sustain now revenged
itself. When she paused. he spoke:
