there's something serious TO come of her
Irritation with Saviile-
There were, as a rule, no secrets IN
this united little household, or he would
not have spoken so openly.
Mrs. Noble took alarm.
NV dear boy, hope you are mis-

None Of us do except Nora, mother
Nav tell the mater your idea about

Angela nodded, though she doubted the
wisdom of adding to the poor lady's
alarm. She went herself in search of
Nora. leaving Frank to tell the story in
his own way.
Morals door was locked, and at first
she refused to admit Angela; but all at
once she threw open the door and gave
her friend the benefit of the flashing
rlances which had so dismayed Frank.
They had no effect. however. on Miss
Grant. She quietly walked into the room
and shut the door.
What do you want - demanded Nora
4 suppose Frank has sent you to try
and talk some sense into me-that is
how he would put it! But if you have
come for the purpose of insulting my
future husband, you can so away with

Then why has he not wooed You in
honorable fashion? You were compare

only been here a few times, and now you
tell me you are going TO marry him
and soon, too. Has your mother given

Now, look here, Angela l am not go

have come to tell me that you imagine
Lewis Saville and that count man to be
the same! l do not believe it, and moth
ing you say win make me believe it! So
you may save yourself the trouble of
talking"
You are mistaken" Angela spoke
very quietly-sne knew it was her only
chance of getting the angry girl to listen
to her. II do not imagine Lewis Saville
to be Count Ripaoli-I know it! Nora,
be sensible. dear. At least prove me to
he wrong before you do anything which
You may regret all your life afterwards .
Nora seemed momentarily impressed
by this reasonable suggestion. but the
impression was transient. Her next
words were spoken with a sudden calm
ness that made Angela more anxious
than before.
Did you ever love man with all your
heart and soul, and with your head as
well! l am sure you have not, or you
would understand how impossible it is to
doubt him. If all the people in Naples,
and all the people here in London. were
to swear that Lewis is Count Rapaoh.
and that the count is Lewis. l would not
believe them against the word OF nv
dear one himself. And do YOU think he
would not have told me if what YOU say
IS q TACT? He does not even belong to
Naples. His home is at Venice. What
DO you say to that? :"
Only that the man has deceived YOU.
Nora, as You will find out some day. to
