Meanwhile, Fedore wandered about iiLo
some unquiet spirit. The only thing I sHe
could not endure was to rest within fbe
house. Mrs. Molyneux watched her daus sbe

What she most dreaded was a break down

Fedore had not in the least forgotten bon

Here is an excellent match awaiting her

Full of these happy thoughts, he un-
fastened his thick coat, and put down his
hat and gloves.
Don't announce me-" he said to the
waiting maid 81 will show myself in"
He reached the threshold of the room
Then a mighty trembling seized him. His
jaw dropped, sudden paralysis seemed to

For there was huge mirror on the wall
opposite him, and there, in its clear shln-
