They created quite a sensation as they
l drew near the beach of Ormsby, where
miscellaneous crowd was assembled. for
the news had been spread abroad by Lo-
relies frightened maid that her mistress
had been missing since the morning. and.
! accordingly. 1t had been conjectured that
the strange light visible at the foot of
| the distant cliff might have some connec-
| tion with her disappearance; and when 1t
was seen that the approaching boat con-
| tanned the missing lady there arose an
outburst of cheering and a waving of hats
that drew the color to her hitherto pale
cheek.
| Among the first to meet the boat at the
waters edge was Godfrey, and on learning
that Lorelie had hurt her foot. nothing less
| would satisfy him than an immediate in
| spectfon of her ankle.
| The case may be more serious than you
| think It," said he.
| So Lorelie, escorted by Idris and Godfrey
| repaired. under smiling protest to the par
Tor of a cottage fronting the beach. where
| after due examination. the surgSH pro-
| nounced the injury to be nothing ESore
| serious than sprain.
"Still, you must not set your foot to the
ground just yet" he added. We VIII pro-
Scarcely had he said this when the rattle
| Of wheels was heard outside vehicle of
| some sort had drawn up in front OF the
| cottage A minute afterward the parior
| door opened giving entrance to Viscount
Walden.
| His acknowledgment Of the surgeon was
limited to ''Ah! Godfrey" of Idris he took
he smiled In manner which showed
| that they were no strangers to each other
and Godfrey. recalling the viscount,s
utterances in the crypt OF Ravenhall
| Il hope Lorelie will be satisfied, looked
| on at their meeting with considerable in

| some guilty secret between them.
''MademoIselle Riviere, am delighted to
l mo yor1 n England - said War. Passing
| along the road outside and observing the
| crowd in front Of this cottage. 1 stopped
my carriage to ascertain the cause. lmag-
| Inc my surprise on learning that you were
| within. Welcome to Ormsby! You find out

| sunny air and the blue skies of the Rivieraf
stand, and find a difficulty in walking. II

| mine Is at your service"
| Ivar's proposal to carry off Lorelie in his
| own carriage reused all Idris' jealousy, Of
| which he had the ordinary mortafs share
| 1t was not very agreeable to hear Lorelio
| asserting. and to observe that she smiled
upon Ivar as pleasantly as she had smiled
| upon himself.
| With a motion of her hand she directed
| the viscount's attention to Idris.z
| Lord Walden. Mr."
| "Breakspear." interposed Idris quickly.
| fearing lest she should inadvertently pro-
| nounce the name of Marville.
| Lorelie gave him a sympathetic glance
| which assured him that his secret was
quite safe In her keeping.
Lord Walden she continued. Mr..

In some surprise War turned to survey
| the savior of Mademoiselle Riviere, and be-
| held a man of about thirty years, with fine
| dark eyes and an athletic fgure-a man
| evidently of good birth; his countenance
| expressive of spirit that showed il he
| should set his mind upon accomplishing an
| object, say of winning a woman's love, he
| would succeed, or make it go extremely Ill
| with those who endeavored to thwart him;
| and, noting all this, Ivar, who was of a
| mean nature, took secret umbrage.
| Idris was about to offer his hand, but OBJ
| serving that the V1Scount was Stiff1y bowling
| with his hands behind him, he thought he
| could not do better than initiate the
| others example.
( For moment the two men eyed each
| other, both apparently animated by a spirit
| of defiance, the cause of which was patent
| enough to Godfrey in the person of the
| charming woman sitting between them.
| Idris, mindful of the fact that he was the
| son of an escaped convict, while Ivar was
| the descendant of line of belted earls, felt
| bitterly the contrast between their respec-
| tive positions.
How this fellow would sneer if he knew
| the TRUTH was his thought.
