Long after Jane Fclspar had left
Ter Angela stood mentally reviewing
The unhappy circumstances amid
which she was placed. 1t seemed TO
her as though she were passing
through some hideOus dream-as
though she had left far behind her

as though all that was fairest and

anne moments when she could not
realize the truth-when all that she
had undergone and dreaded seemed to
be the offspring of disorderad
'ancy-when she decided that she
must have imagined these things
that che had allowed doubts and
4uspiciOns to warp her mind Could
she be mistaken? The captain was a
gentleman, man of good birth, and
most popular in society. True, he
had committed what she considered
crime in marrying her mother
solely for her moneys sake; he had
committed even d greater crime in
making her mother unhappy after
her marriage. But between those
two evil deeds and this darker more
htdeOua one, there was a gulf so
great that even in her IMAGINATION
she could not bridge it over. He
lived under the same roof with her:
they met two or three times daily.
he was polite and kind to her in a
formal manner; and yet he was cum
nlngly and cruelty devising means
whereby he could take her life, It
seem impossible to believe it; never

She remembered Jane Fclspars
warning, DO not go out with him:

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
