But now the Lady Catharine Knollys
veered again. with some sudden change
of the inner currents Of the feminine
soul.

said she, suddenly disengaging her
hand. "Yet I did but give you insight
of things which any man coming as
you have come should have well within

go, then, and leave me for this
time" she besought him. But still he
could not go, and still the Lady Cath
arine could not bid him more sternly
to depart. Youth-youth, and love, and
fate were in that room; and these
would have their way.
The beseeching gaze of an eye singu-
lar in its power rested on the girl, a
gaze filled with all the strange, half
mandatory pleading of youth and
yearning. Once more there came a
shift in the tidal currents of the wom-
ans heart. The Lady Catharine slow
ly became conscious of delicious help
lessness, of sinking and yielding
which she could not resist Her head
lost power to be erect. 1t slipped for
ward on shoulder waiting as by
right Her breath came in soft meas
ure, and unconsciously a hand was
raised to touch the cheek pressed down
to hers. John Law kissed her once
upon the lips. Suddenly, without plan
lin spite of all plan--the seal of a
strange fate was set forever on her
lifei
For long moment they stood thus,
until at length she raised face pale
and sharp, and pushed back against
his breast a hand that trembled.
'Tis wondrous strange" she whis-
pered.
ASK nothing" said John Law, fear
nothing. Only believe, as I believe
Neither John Law nor the Lady
Catharine Knollys saw what was pass
ing just without the room. They did
not see the set face which looked down
from the stairway. Through the open
door Mary Connynge could see the
young man as he stepped out of the
door, could see The conduct of the girl

She saw the Lady Catharine sink down
upon the seat, her head dropped in
thought, her hand lying languidly out
before her. Pale now and distraught,
the Lady Catharine Knollys wist lit
tie Of what went on before her. She
had full concern with the tumult which
waged riot in her soul.
Mary Connynge turned, and started
back up the stair unseen. She paused,

eyes were wide and flashing. her cheeks
deeply pink. the sweet bow Of her lips
half a-quiver in her vehemence. Her
surprising personal beauty. rich. ripe.
enticing, gave more than sufficient
challenge for the fiery blood of the
young man before her
1t was less than two weeks since
these two had met Surely the flood OF
time had run swiftly in those few days.
Not a day had passed that Law had not
met Catharine Knollys, nor had yet one
meeting been such as the girl in her
own conscience dared call better than
clandestine, even though they met, as
now, under her own roof. Yet, reason
as she liked, struggle as she could,
Catharine Knollys had not been quite
able to end this swift voyaging on the
flood Of fate. 1t was so strange, so new,
SO sweet withal, this coming of her
suitor, as from the darkness of some
unknown star, SO bold, SO strong, SO
confident, and yet so humble! All the
old song of the ages thrilled within her
SOIL. and each day its compelling mel
ody had accession. That this deliri0us
softening of all her senses meant dam
ger. the Lady Catharine could not de-
ny. Yet could aught of earth be wrong
when it spelled such happiness, such
sweetness-when the sound of a foot
fall sent her blood going the faster,
when the sight of a tall form, the ring
of a vibrant tone, caused her limbs to
weaken, her throat to choke?
John Law looked at her calmly, but
said nothing. One hand, in a gesture
customary with him. fiicked lightly at
the deep cuff of the other wrist, and
this nervous movement was the sole
betrayal of his uneasiness.
You come to this house time and
again." resumed Catharine Knollys,
as though it were an ancient right on
your part, as though you had always
been a friend of this family. And
yet"
"And so / have been," broke in her
suitor. my people were friends OF
yours before we two were born. Why,
then, should you advise your servant,
as you have, fairly to deny me admis-

"'Tis not presumption" said the
young man, his voice low and even,
though ringing with the feeling to
which even he dared not give full ex-
preston. 81 myself might call this
presumption in another. but with my
self It's otherwise"
