passionate declarations of unselfsh love
for herself and have pressed her to
marry him. wealthy or a pauper
Instead of that. he had let her see
right into his inner nature. There Is

The words bit like acid, for there is
little misery more acute than that OF
a hypocrite in the hours which follow
his first detection.
Even Sadie would have been salts
fled with the punishment she had in
fiicted upon him had she known what
a night of agony he endured.
The next day, however, he was able
to take a less depressing view of the
position. The personal smart was
dulled. He had made a fool of him
self and had lost the best thing that
Fortune a ever put in his reach:
but, after al, she could do him no real
injury. 1t was not likely their paths

All that he had dom was to refuse to
marry her when she said she was poor,
and thousands of men would have
done the same. As to his proposal that
she should p|ersonate his cousins wife,
he had mentioned no names; and if any
necessity arose he could easily deny
the whole thing. or pretend that he
was merely testing her,
And in all other respects he stood

the Broadstone title and estates, he
had never had any difficulty in raising
money up to the time Of his cousins
marriage, n his debts ran into q
good many thousands. The marriage
had made a difference, of course. The
money-lenders had closed their cash
boxes, and some of them. in deed, were

that sum out of him, although he was
by no mean willing to part with

The Towers was a deadly dull house

at present it was additionally gloomed
by the shadow of Mr.. Petherby's death

back in his chair one day in his office

But the disappointment was not by
any means the worst. He had been so
