CHAPTER XVII.

That afternoon Blanche, who re-
mained at home, had encountered an
experience more thrilling than any
thing which had ever befallen her.
She had tried, after the major had
left for the city, TO pass the time away
with various amusements. She had
poured out her complete happiness TO
the sympathetic pages of her diary;
she had, when that joy had spent it,
self gone to the piano and played her
guardians favorite airs sung his ia
vorite songs, imagining him in his
smoking jacket and slippers in his usu-
al seat on the great leathern lounge.
Then a small cloud rose between her
and the sun of her present happiness.
1t was the memory that such a short
time had elapsed since another had
occupied her place, and that thought
had frequently beset her of late, but
seldom with such persistency as now.
She tried TO fight against its influence,
TO tear herself from its grasp, but in
vain. One of the most tantalizing of
these thoughts was that Jeanne God
dard's room still remained just as the
absent woman had left 1t, just as
Blanche wildly remembered it on the
night preceding Mrs. Goddard's de-
parture. It's door had not been opened
since its occupant had left. Blanche
supposed it was locked, as she had
once, in passing, seen the key to the
door hanging on a nail outside.
perhaps" thought our poor her
oine, 'if I could put down my objec-
tions to seeing the room again, and go
there, might not think of it so fire.
quently; and I really must be more
generous. But" Blanche shud-
dered as her thoughts ran on un.
checked, 81 cannot bear to think that
God had made us for each other!"
She would not have been the woman
she was II these recollections had not
stung her proud nature to the quick
81 certainly have goou opportunity
now" she thought, remembering that
both the maids had asked for leave
of absence that afternoon, and
through the window she could see
james leaning over the wall at the
foot of the lawn engaged in deep con-
versation with an acquaintance. So
the outcome of her mental arguments
for and against this step was that she
bravely ascended the stairs, went
along the fern-oecorated corridor to
thedoor of the room which had haunt
ed her so much of late, To her sur
prise she missed the key from the nail
where it usually hung, Then she no.
ticed it in the lock, and that the door
was slightly ajar Thinking yhis was
perhaps due to the negligence of the
servants, the young wife entered and
stood in the center of the room-a tar
get for sharp memories which were
shooting into her heart from several
objects in the boudoir-Jeanne' couch
and chair, the divan where she had
once seen her husband with his arm
around his wife. Blanche's face was
set with keenest suffering as she
turned her back on the canopied bed
