He took Cyril's letter from his
pocket, and spreading it out on the
table, pored over it word for word.
He would be absent for months; he
had gone without a word-other than
this letter-of explanation to Norah.
They were virtually separated, with
this ietter-while he held it!-as
the only link between them.
Let Norah be convinced that Becca
had flown with Cyril Burne, and the
separation would be complete.
She would be TOO proud to write
to Cyril for an explanation, and he,
Guilford Berton, must by hook or BY
crook intercept any letter from ~yrii
to her.
The mental exertion served to dis
pei something OF the horror that pos
sessed him. He was fighting now
not only for Norah and the Arrow
dale wealth, but for his own life.
He must guard every look, every
word of his own must watch and
weigh every look, every word OF
others. Was he equal to the task. or
should he seek safety in fight?
AS heasked himself the quesL.en.
the next one, Where should he fly :"
arose to answer the first.
There was no place now where a
murderer could be beyond the reach
of the dread arm OF the Jaw.
No, he must remain and fight the
battle to the end If he could divert
suspicion for two months, much
might happen 10 render discovery i'm
possible. In two months Inc might
even succeed in winning Moran. In
two months Cyril himself might be
dead He shuddered as he remem-
bered how the longing to kill Cyril
had come over him the last time
Cyril was in the cottage. Was he a
homicide by instinct?
The hours crept by as he sat in
the silent room In the tomb like
house, scheming and plotting and at
last, unable to think any longer, he
took the lantern and went upstairs to
mis- bedroom.
The room was at the back of The
house and instinctively he walked
TO the window and peered down nc
the garden.
How long he looked at the heap o.
leaves which hid It's awful secret ht

upon her more heavily each minute
Suddenly she pulled up the ponies.
There are some girls-those stand
ing outside the inn-whom l saw at
the fete. Will you ask them if they
know anything, please?" she said.
Berton walked to the knot of girls,
the phaeton following.
Can any of you tell Lady Nora
where Becca South is?''
They looked at each other shyly,
and shook their heads.
You were at the fete last night,

her when you were coming away"
The girls looked at one of the party
and whispered to her, evidently urg-
ling her to speak; and she stepped for

CHAPTER XIII.

Norah woke with a bad headache
and worse heartache; and, as is
the way with women, she 1egan u
make excuses for the lover whom
she had treated so coldly the nj hit
before.
There may have been SOME reason
for his long absence and silence.
She had treated him so coldly that 1t
was little wonder he had avoided
her: and as TO the scene between him
and Becca---well. Norah found it i'm
possible 10 explain that away, bit
as Lady Females maid brushed the
long red,gold tresses, Norah tried 10
find some excuse even for what she
had seen pass between Becca and
Cyril.
Becea she knew was Il liirt and
the love-makng, IL love.making IL
was, must have been altogether On
her side.
In short. her love, strong and pas
sionate, overcame her jealousy ald
resentment as all true love must.
and by the time the breakfast bell
rang she had gone long way to ior-
giving Cyril and was simply longing
20 see or hear from him.
The house was full OF visitors, and
their talking and laughing seemed to
fill the place

kissed her affectionately mo need to

A CONSTITUTIONAL MONARCHY
Such at Last Persia Seems to Have
Become.

Persia. the ancient kingodm of Cy-
rus and Darium, kingdom renowned
in history both sacred and profana,
has been from time immemorial one
OF the most despotic governments n
the world. Especially has this been
true under the Mohammedan rule.
WHICH began about the middle of the
seventh century.
The law of Modes and PersianS
which changeth not" is familiar
phrase. and the ancient dread of
change has been marked trait OF
modern Persia, which of all countries
might have been least expected to de
part from it's traditional hidebound
policy and recognize the rights of
the people.
We learn from a recent dispatch
that on the eleventh day of the cur
rent month the new shah granted the
popular demand for constitutional
government, with but one reserva-
ton. This was that the monarchy
still be preserved. as he feared that
the next demand would be for re-
public.
This action. which was in response
to the wishes of his parliament and
enforced by revolutions in various
parts of his realm. for the moment
quelled the popular tumults which
were growing more violent. in conse-
quence OF the rulers delay and nigh.

sian political affairs. which is in
line vita the progressive spirit of our
time, may be PERMANENT. and that
Persia may win race among the
most advanced nations.
The Christian car an autocrat OF
all the Russias would do we'll to imi-
tate this Mohammedan ruler of a de-
cadent kingdom by giving his people
the constitutional rights they have SO
long demanded.
