swered. Then we will go to the sunny
South and try to forget all about It.
In his own heart he knew that this
was likely to be easier said than done.
Ever since he had seen it on that men,
orable Thursday night Teresina's pite-
Gus face had been before him, and now
with the recollection of what followed
so close upon their interview to deepen
the impression, it was more than likely
that some time would elapse before he
would be able to forget it.
That night when he went to bed he
found 1t difficult to get to sleep. 1t
was as if the events of the morrow
were casting their shadows before, and
when he did sleep he was assailed with
the most villainous dreams. He saw
himself in a garnet room with Teresina
kneeling before him holding up her
hands in piteous entreaty; then he
saw her lying dead upon the floor, her
CLASSY eyes looking up at him as II in
mute reproach. A moment later he
was sitting up in bed staring at Victor
Fensden, who was standing beside
him. holding a candle in his hand, and
with a look upon his face that Showed
he was almost beside himself with ter
ror.
Good Heavens, man, what is the
natter" cried Godfrey, for the others
face frightened him. 1T was as white
as paper, while in his eyes there shone
light that was scarcely that of rea-
son.
Let me stay with you, let me stay
with you,' he cried ''4f am left
alone don't know what / shall do. |

have never met your friend before,
Godfrey, but should say that he is not
very strong"
II am afraid he is not" the other re-
piled, and the subject dropped.
A quarter of an hour later Sir Vivian
I announced his intention of returning
home and when his carriage had come
round, took Godfrey on one side.
Keep up stout heart, my boy" he
said. THE man who committed the
crime will certainly be captured before
very long, ana then the poor girl will
be avenged" = N
Then the kindly old gentleman drove
away When he had seen him depart,
Godfrey went into the house and made
his way upstairs to inquire after Fens-
den's welfare. Somewhat to his sur
prise, he found him apparently quite
himself once more
Il cannot think what made me be-
have in that foolish fashion, said VIC
tor, as he rose from the sofa on which
he had been lying. Il am not given to
fainting fits. Forgive me, old fellow,
won't your s-o''1 SO - a.,9sf
There is nothing to forgive" said
Godfrey: -e'7a ~" @]afi4$
AS he spoke the dressing gong sound
ed, and after having asked Fensden
whether he would prefer to come down,
or to have his meal sent to him. and
having received an answer to the first
in the affirmative, Godfrey lei. him, and
proceeded along the passage to his own
own room. when he reached it he pass
ed to the further end and stood before
the original sketch of his famous pic
ture. "A Woman of the People" 1t was
only mere study, roughly, worked out;
but whatever else it may have been,
it was at least a good likeness Of the
hapless Teresina.
And to think that that beautiful
face, is now cold, in DEATH" he said to
himself, and that the brute who muir
dered her is still at large. God grant
that it may be in my power to bring
him to justice"
Before he dressed, he sat down at
his writing table and composed letter
to the coroner. informing him of all he
knew OF the case. and promising him
that he would be present at the inquest
in order to give any evidence that might
be in his power to supply. 1t was only
when: he had finished the letter and
sealed it, that he felt that he had done
small portion OF his duty towards the
end. He also wrote to his solicitor Civ
ing him an account OF, the affair, and
! telling him that ne would call upon him
on Monday, prior to the inquest, in or
der to discuss the matter with him.
Then he rang for his valet, and gave
instructions that the letters should be
posted without fail that evening. Then
he began to dress with Ia, heart as
heavy as lead. He remembered how
much he had been looking forward to
this dinner ever since the idea had
first occurred to him. In his own mind
he had endeavored to picture the first
meal that Victor and his betrothed
shonld take together. He had imagin-

| dare not even close my eyes. For
Gods sake give me brandy. l must
have something to bring back my
courage. Look, look Can't you see,
man. how badly ! need it?"
Needless to say Godfrey saw this.
Accordingly bidding him remain where
he was he went off to procure some.
When he returned he found Victor
seated on the settee at the foot of the
bed. Apparently he had recovered his
self-command.
Il am afraid you must think me an
awful fool. Godfrey" he said. But
have really had a deuce OF fright.
You don't know what awful dreams ]
had. l could not have stayed alone In
that room another minute.
1t must indeed have been fright,
for Godfrey noticed that. though he
pretended to have recovered, he was
still trembling.
We'll, am glad 10 see that you
are feeling better" he ss>'. DRINK
some of this, it will make new man
of you"
If it could do that Id drink a hogs
head" he said, bitterly. If there's
one man in this world of whose society
am heartily sick, it IS Victor Fens-
den. Now I'll go back TO my own room.
Forgive me for disturbing you. won't
you, but | could not help myself"
So saying he took up his candle
once more and returned to his own
room, leaving Godfrey to put what
construction he thought best upon the
incident.
IL am beginning to think that poor
Victor is not quite right in his head"
said the latter TO himself as he blew
out his candle and composed himself
for slumber once more.

Z. In the previous chapter | described
10 you how Victor Fensden had fallen
in dead faint just at the moment
when the gentlemen were about to go
in search of the ladies in order to re-
assure them after the terrible shock
they had received. Immediately on
hearing his friend call, Godfrey hur-
ried to his assistance, asking Sir Vivian
meanwhile to go in search of brandy.
The latter had scarcely left the room,
however, before Victor opened his
eyes.
my dear old fellow" said Godfrey,
81 en- indeed thankful to see that you
are better knew very well that this
terrible business had upset you more
than you were willing to admit. Never.
mind. it will be put right in the end.
How do you feel now?'
Much better" Victor replied. II
cannot think what it was that caused
!, ne to make such an idiot of myself"
!, At this moment Sir Vivian returned
with glass of brandy and water.
Victor slipped, a little. -o
He had not been feeling we'll of late,

on the top of certain other worries had

said Victor, and he accordingly retired
to his room, while Sir Vivian and God

theyf could to the ladies, who We're in
the dining room, awaiting their re-
turn with such patience as they could
command. '-

: dreaded another explanation; --it will
z be time enough, however, for me to
explain later on. 1t is sufficient at
present to say that terrible murder
has been committed in London, and
that the assassin, knowing that r had
endeavored to be good friend to his
victim, has played CHASTITY practical

This time there was no making the
sneer. 1t may have been the thoughts
that had occupied his brain as he walk
ed home but even he could not help
coming to the conclusion that the man
he had known for so long, whom he
had trusted so implicitly, and for whom
he had done so much, was no longer
well disposed towards himself He said
nothing, however, for Victor was not
only his guest, but he had troubles
enough of lis own just then to look
after without adding to the number.
Molly had noticed it, also, and had
commented on it, when she and her
lover were alone together.
Never mind, dear" said Godfrey. "It
doesn't matter very much if he has ia
ken dislike to me. | think the truth
of the matter is he is not quite him
self. Though he win not show IL, I
have an idea he is too much cut up
by this terrible business as am myself
He is very highly strung, and the
shock has doubtless proved too much
for his nerves. You won't see very
much more of him, for he will bring his
visit to a close tomorrow morning, as
he has decided to go abroad again i'm
mediately after the inquest"
But thought he was tired OF trav-
cling, and that he had stated his desire
never to see foreign hotel again"
Il thought SO, too, but it appears we
were mistaken. However. do not let US
talk about him just now. Can you real
ize, dearest, that in ten days time we
are to be married"
Il am beginning to realize it.. she
answered. But this terrible affair has
thrown. such = SHADOW over our happi-
ness for the last twenty-four hours
that have thought Of little else.'
