the same period. She was absolutely
penniless.
This fact, brought under his notice
in such striking manner, caused
Armathwaite to ponder on the con-
trast between the two women who. II
the facts which pointed that way were
correct, had both been forced to make
most humiliating sacrifices for a man
whom the young Yorkshireman, in mis-
Indignation, was ready to pronounce
mere soulless clown. He supposed
that old Mr.. Dightons injunction to
Lord Kildonan, not to allow his wife
any money, was the result of ex-
perience as to the quarter to which
any money she might have would go;
but the slight inconvenience which
this deprivation caused the spoilt
Lady Kildonan, and the sacrifice she
said she had made of her jewels,
seemed to him nothing compared with
the life of constant self-denial and
anxiety which the woman by his side
endured without word. Lady Kill
domains sacrifices might be the result
OF a headlong passion for a man she
had not been allowed to marry; but
Alma Crosmont's existence was nor
even warmed by affection for the man
for whose faults she had to suffer.
Even If she stopped short of hatred.
she could feel for him nothing but
contempt.
AS they drew near her house Mrs.
CrosmoDt kept her eyes fixed upon it
with strange, expectant gaze, while
the pink colour brought by the walk
faded and left her cheeks white, and
her steps grew slower than ever.
Armathwaite thought that perhaps.
as it was luncheon time, her husband
might be waiting for her, and might
be angry at sight of her escort. AS,
however, he attempted to withdraw his
arm, she answered his thoughts. and
shaking her head said sadly:
No, there is no one to keep waiting
now"
So he went with her to the gate.

and bounding about and running a
little way down the road, seemed to
be looking for someone else.
No, Lancer, no Fidget, Uncle
Hugh's gone away" she said piteous-
ly, though she tried to be cheerful
over it.
Whether the retriever thought, on
hearing this, that a new friend is
better than none, is not known. But
he leapt up on Armathwaite's breast
and licked him effusively. Mrs. eros
mont's face lighted up suddenly with
a flash of excitement, and a ray OF
youth and sunshine beamed in her
eyes.
Ha, ha! Lancer has found it out.
Lancer knows it's all right. I've
friend left near me after all!''
Armathwaite stammered something
incoherently, but she scarcely listened.
You are going to stay here" she
said confidently.
How did you know? How did you
guess?" asked he.
The brightness died out of her eyes
again, and she spoke in the old soft.
muffled tones.
THE music told me- she said,
dreamily; and giving him her hand in
a dulled and Hstless way, she smiled
taintly as she babe him goodbye ana
thanked him, and disappeared through
the heavy iron gates.
But he turned when he had gone
lew steps away, and saw that she had
come back, and was watching him.
A miserable sense of the barriers of
difficulty which stood between him
and his power of helping her came
upon him, as he saw the CLEAN of her
sad eyes through the iron grating.

CHAPTER XIII.

Frank Armathwaite spent the first
