= CHAPTER TX.

The morning which broke through the
defenses of Breen, and crumped the dear
est purpose of Constable, also drew Miss
Stansbury into the vortex of intense emo
tions. Whatever dominant traits and i'm
pulses she had inherited from her mother,
it had been her self-training to repress.
Ample opportunity had been afforded her
to note in her mother the career of an in
domtabe mistress of affairs. The result
of her observations was positive distaste
for stiffness of views in any sphere, and
a conviction that the display of master
fulness in woman did not make for wom-
ans happiness.
As a girl it had not occurred to Lara
to exert an authority counter to her
mothers. When she became a young wom-
an she carefully avoided any extremity
which might lead to the breaking of
either her own or the more visible will
of the house.
Now, in the midst of painful develop
ments, it was borne home to Lara that
she had progressed too far in the way of
amiability; that she had unconscously
outstripped her intention, and passed into
the boundaries of self-effacement. In the
crisis of the newspaper revelations, she
had followed her mothers initiative with
out question. The creature of indecisions
that she had become grew more and more
odious to her as the forenoon passed, and
in her contrition she realized that the
man whose first wish was to spare her
from harm had been repaid with lack of
courtesy and greater lack of courage.
Nothing that she had said or done, it
seemed to her now, carried the stamina of
decision. She had implored him not to
speak; she had run from him, like
frightened child to her mother, when he
had told his love and begged her to seek
safety aboard his ship. In none of her
dealings had she shown the strong wom-
