CHAPTER XVI.


 Leonore's Parisian success in the part of the Comtesse de Larnac had been repeated in London. The Eng lizh version of the play, inevitably weakened by the toning down of its more salient features. had proved itself exactly suited to the tastes of Lon don audience The adaptor had done his work with masterly skill. He had kept one eye on the Censor and the other on the requirements of the blase man about town, He had ruth lessly cut out all the words and actions which had found favor with the French, and left in their place a suggestion of words unspoken and of deeds un- performed. Paterfamilias, that great hypocrte of the present age, was pleased and chuckled His daughters remained unsullied.
 Leonore herself had taken her place in the very front rank of the actresses of the world. Certainly no other wo- man had yet achieved such an unqual- flied triumph in two languages. So- ciety had opened its doors to her. More than one duchess had left cards at her house in Pont Street. She was asked everywhere, and even that exclusive section of society, which lies so far above what is known to the papers as the smart set" had shown a dispo- sition to approve of her general life and character. She stood. like another great actress of our time, far beyond the reach of scandal Her quiet, we'll ordered life was an example of how well and truly a woman may conduct herself, even in the face of every temp tation to do otherwise.
 A week after Shil's accident in Pa- ris. she had been obliged to come to London for rehearsals. But during that week she had seen as much of him as was possible under the circum- stances. The knowledge that she loved him was not altogether pleasant to her It was one thing to play at love and quite another 10 experience the reality of it. She had ceased to be the actress, and the natural reserve of the woman had replaced her fictitious de- monstratlon of direction. "A feigned emotion is always more pronounc ed than a real one. and now that Leonore knew the truth, she was at great pains to conceal it.
 John Shil had not been able to leave his room for several weeks, and te did not return to England until three months after Leonore's departure. Di- rectly he came to London, however. he called upon her. His resolve to find Laura had only been strengthened by his Illness. Lvtpk on his bed of sick

ness he had great deal of time to think about her. Ills enforced inactiv- fty had been irksonle to him. and df- rectIy he was we'll enough to resume the search he entered upon 1t wRh rue rious energy. He was still convinced that Leonore knew where Laura was to be found. and he hastened to renew the acquaintance which had progresssd so favorably in Paris.
 During the four months which fol- lowed his arrival In London, he saw . great deal of Leonore Jackson. Tie flask that he had set himself to do was not altogether a distasteful one. He was. indeed, more than little asham. ed of the role he had assumed. But on the other hand Leonore was a tat- ented and charming woman. and no found real pleasure Tn sher socis,y. He never referred to Laura Tn ner presence, but he always kept his eyes and ears open for anything which might hint at some communication oe- tween the two women.
 However. he learnt nothing. and ne. was. moreover. a little puzzled at Leo- nore's attitude towards him Tn Paris she had met all his advances hsifway' She. had appearedr-to use a common. but forcible expression-to pc nlnsIns herself at his head. But here. Tn Lon don. her manner had undergone an en- tire change. It was cold. reserved al- most repallant. He did not understand. He had mentioned the fact more than once in a jocular. good -humored sort of way and she had laughed at him. But he was intelligent enough to see that something had come between them something that lie could not compre- bend.
 The idea sometimes occurred to him that she had fallen in love with some other man. But gossip, which IS si- ways busy about the affairs of those who occupy high places, had never coupled her name with that of any one of her numerous admirers And his own personal observation had fail- ed to discover anything Of the. sort or course, 1t did not occur to his blunt ma sculine intellect that she had faflsh, in love with himself. Awoman. versed' in the ways of her sex, would have learnt the truth at once man could only come to one conclusion-that ne had incurred her displeasure. @s
 It was left to chance to lay bare the secret which the woman had contrived to hide so carefully in her heart. and chance or the unalterable law of the ,unfverse--cali it which you will-nad ordained that John shil should call on I,eonore on the very morning which followed tn ereceipt Of Laura's tefe- gram.
 I4aura's telegram arrivedf.a at the Re- gal Theatre shortly after the rise of the curtain on the first act Leonore had only had just time to road 1t be- fore she was called on to the stage. But in the first interval she sent cn a reply to the effect that she would call at widiey Street about -12so'clock on the following morning.
 For the rest of the evening she was the Comtesse de Larnac, and her mind was so occupied with her part that che could scarcely give Laura more than a passing thought. But when She re- turned to the house in Pont Street shel thrust aside all recollection of the play and began to ponder over the startling news contaned in the telegram.

.Fhis ain't no bloomin' catch. can ta1l yer. 1 ain't wot yer'd call an ard searted woman. but ain't no philiern- thruppist. and don't yer forgit It
 The speaker, stout. untidy woman of forty.five, folded her thick bare arms and glared defiantly.
 T am so sorry. Mrs. Burton, Laura yane replied. gently, but will cer- tainly let you have something on ac- count this week."
 "rve card that tale before" said Mrs, Burton unsympathetically. and you 'aving the best bedroom and all. the use of this ere sitting room. which. tho ] eez 1t meslf. there ain't finer apart ment in widley Street. nor sich furn- 4toor. nor sich pictures. nor sich a view out of the window"
 Laura glanced at the hideous oil paipting of the deceased MT Burton. Almost life size. and inexpressibly bril- liant in colcring. and then turned her weary eyes to the window. The outlook was not cheerful, but it was relief to the sight after the glare of Mr. Blur tons pink flesh. A patch of bare earth roadlike In color and quality. stretched for a few feet to a dingy brlcA wall. Beyond that lav a hundred yards or naked meadow, strewn with every con keivable specimen of battered iron and broken crockery. Beyond that again stretch of brown mud. and then the broad line of the River Thames. grey and sullen in the light of December afternoon
 Laura's eyes rested gratefully on the red sails of a barge. the one beautiful thing in wilderness of ugliness
 "It Is indeed a charming room" she replied with faint smile. and 1t Is very good of you to lot me use 1t. Mrs Burton"
 .Ar ra tt,d ha vary sood of yer to pay me now and then, Mrs. Danby." the wo man replied, mimicking Lauras voice. .just as a matter O form like"
 T do all l can." the girl said in a low voice. "I work hard all day. But they don't pay much for making blouses I just get enough for food. and the baby-he is i'll: l can't leave him"
 Yer shouldn't ave babies if yer can't afford to keep 'em." Mrs. Burton said roughly. T ain't 'ad but one, and my .usband was a man of persition. He could earn Is thirty five shillin' a week. e could--ay. and drink twenty frye of it 'imself-like a lord.
 Laura did not answer, and her silence seemed to infuriate the warlike Mrs. Blurton. Perhaps the latter expectco some envious reference to the wage earnink powers of her deceased husband.
 "wefI-spoken girls like you" contin- ued the memorable Mrs. Burton. ave friends wifi money, unless they're asham- ed to go to 'em- I may be common woman. but I'm an honest woman. and ain't ever done anyfing as I'd want to slde from my friends"
 ' Mrs. Blurton's broad. moonlike face Giowed with pride and indignation. Laura rose sharply to her feet with hot cheeks and flashing eyes.
