Long after Jane Felspar had left
her Angela stood mentally reviewing
the unhappy circumstances amid
which she was placed. 1t seemed to
Der as though she were passing
through some hideous dream-as
though she had left far behind her
all the brightness of her girlhood--
as though all that was fairest and
best in life had forsaken her. Again
came moments when she could not
realize the truth-when all that she
had undergone and dreaded seemed to
be the offspring of a disOrdered
fancy-when she decided that she

''The air is fresh and invigorating, -
he continued, and will do you good -
He was moving uneasily from one
place to another, restless look in
his eyes, a livid line round his
mouth, an expression of craft and
cruelty on his face that robbed it of
ali beauty

She remembered Jane Felspar's
warning, do not go out with him:
and she wondered within herself. if
she tried the new mare as he wished
her, how soon an accident would
happen, and what form it would
take. That one would occur she felt
quite certain.

care to try the mare. take the pony
