be carried 1t about with him, even TO the
courts and into the presence Of the
judges.
In the evening he went to call at Eaton
Place; he had not done so since Mary
went to Brighton. DIR. Dyneyor was still

he found that Mary was also: he saw she
had returned that day. Upon being adj
mitted, the maid. who had, as he knew,
attended Mary, crossed the hall.
You are back again, Sarah?' he ex-
claimed.
@Yes, sir, we came up to-day" the girl
answered, and proceeded to explain the
reason. The family they were staying
with at Brighton received news Of the
dangerous illness of relative at Cbeiten-
ham, and had TO speed thither at once.
Instead of being shown to the drawing
room as usual, Charles was marshaled to

Charles looked at her; there was some
thing in her voice, her manner, that he
bad never met before, and his pulses
auickened with sense Of coming evil

lady, who had not taken a seat, or asked
Charles to do so.
But why?" exclaimed Charles. What

You cannot really need TO inquire,
Charles Baumgarten, and il viii be par

She drew herself up; the aaxen curls
seemed to bristle. Il saw you in sit
nation, sir, the night before last at the
play. which-whicl-wh fact, per-
fectly shocked me. If that dear defunct

Charles had listened 70 her with defer

the situation might be?" he said when
she had concluded.
You are truly bold to ask it, Charles
