The funeral wa. held from the First

CHAPTER XX,

How she reached her room. how the
long night wore away, Beatrice never
knew. She lay, fully dressed, upon her
bed. in a sort of stupor, from which the
daylight, stealing through the blinds,
aroused her.
Her eyes had never closed. All
through the night they had stared into
the darkness, until this first faint sum
shine blinded them. All, what had she
and sunlight in common! No wonder
that she shrank from it's brilliance and
it's glare. Yet, all unconsciously to her.
self, it found it's way into her soul. ana
revived the crushed plant of courage
and bruised flower of hope.
The sense of impotence which had as
sailed her in the presence of her enemy
grew less. Her strong will asserted it,
self 1t could not be possible that, in
this house, filled with people. among
whom she was free to move as she
pleased, into whose ears, too, unforbid-
den, she might pour the story of her
wrongs, that this monstrous injustice
could be perDetrated.
She had heard of some people being
shut up IN Warehouses;. Dul tll1L WAS
different. They could find no one to
listen to the truth. Grey Oaks was not
a mad-house. Why. the very servants
would rise up to bring her help and de-
lverance.
She rose and bathed. and freshly
dressed herself Finding in her room
all her old belongings, She chose dress
of white flannel for her morning cos
tune. She met no one as she came
down the stairs.
Going into the conservatory, she
broke off two or three creamy roses and
fastened them at her neck.
Never, thought Allen Layton, had he
seen so exquisite picture as she made
when entering the dining room. where
