she had forgotten what to sign herself.
only plain Mrs. Brown the manageress
thought to herself when she looked at tho
entry later. why, she looks like one OF
the sristocracy."
And early the next morning that state
ly. black-robed figure found her way to the
parish church, and asked to see the register
for marriages of twenty-one years before.
She scanned several entries before she
found the one she wanted. The old clerk
asked II she would like q copy OF IT,. but
she shock her head.
Il suppose the-ths parties do not live At
A1lerton now?' she remarked; trying to
speak indirerentiy.
NO. ma'am; they left the town the very
day OF the wedding. and the bride was dead
within the year. Her sister went to her at
the last. and brought back the baby: but

herself. There seemed a fate against her

old she married a foreigner. and left the
country"
Lady Bellairs had never mixed with the
poor sufficiently to understand the mean

that TO the clerk the word foreigner"
meant anyone from a different part OF Eng
land. nor yet that left the country meant.
not that Miss Marin had quilted her native
land. but simply that she had gone from her
rural home to live In q great city.
Lady Bellairs went away much relieved.
James Payne's story was false IN one par
ticular: he had declared he had seen her
incubus only the day before his visit. Since
he had lied In this. he might have been
equally %untruthful In stating that her
trouble was a living one.

CHAPTER VI.

The summer wore on: August faded into
September. and still Lettuce Bell remained
at the wilderness. In high favor with the
Paynes.
Mrs. Ilnden often wrote to her darling.
expressing the warmest pleasure that Let
tice had found such q congenial home, and
urging her to apply to Mr.. Payne for help
in tracing her father: but for once the girl
turned disobedient. II was not only Ber-
trans warning which made her shrink from
an appeal to her employer. but thai she
was conscious OF a strange distrust Of
James Payne.
And now that she had left home. and
was away from Mrs. Lnden's influence. Let
tice felt more and more convinced there
would be only pain in finding a father who
had chosen to desert her.
She would rather think Of Harcourt Bell
as dead-anyway. he was dead to her. and
she did not feel in the least anxious. to
trace him..
Her visit 70 the Rosery had only been re-
peated twice. The second time Mrs. Payne
spoke to her on her return. alleging that It
was unmaidenly and indecorous to visit at
a bachelors house.
In vain poor Lettuce. with crimson cheeks,
protested she had gone to see Mrs. Bel
lairs. not her son. Mrs. Payne held to her
argument.
Sir Lionel Bellairs is my husbands chief.
and I've no wish to say a word against
him: but everyone knows he's a woman
halter. and that since a disappointment he
had years ago. he's detested the very sight
Of q girl. So you see it's the worst of taste
to put yourself in his way
Lettuce blushed.
Indeed. I meant no HARM" she said
eagerly: land Mrs. Bellairs has been very
kind TO me-"
We'll, don't go again." returned Mrs.
Payne. II don't like the look Of Il: there's
plenty Of company for you here. and you
don't need to be gadding about in search for
more"
Lettuce felt vaguely she was In disgrace.
but she could not think Of anything to say
In her own defense.
WELL" asked Mr.. Payne an hour later.
did you speak to herr
Yes: I think you were mistaken. Jim.
and she only went to see Mrs. Bellairs.''

That's strong language. Sarah; but I'm

And you think you will make more?"

Lettice Bell wondered why the news Of
the necessary postponement Of the wedding
did not trouble her more deeply: why. as she
listened to Bertie's iamentation. she felt a
strange sensation Of relief.

CHAPTER VIII AND LAST.

1t was more than three weeks after that
scene on the cliffs. and Lettuce Bell was
still at the Rosery. She had been very III
so Ill that the doctor Mrs. Bellairs called
In had more than once despaired Of her re-
covery. but now the cruel fever had at last
left her. and. though terribly weak and
prostrate. she was pronounced out Of dan
ger.
Mrs. Beliairs sat in her own drawing
room. In close conversation with James
Payne. The master OF the wilderness
looked old and worn: he had been making
confession.
And now you know the TRUTH he said
simply. When Sir John Bellairs had no
thought Of coming In for the title, he and
