For a moment a dead silence fell upon
the little group of men. Even their
callous hearts were chilled into awe by
the revelation of a woplan's power Of
revenge.
Sir Douglas spoke at last. He mouthed

He was silent Horror held him in its
grip. He saw mentally the sweet, fair
face OF Rosemary lying dead, killed by
the poor wrath of a mad woman, and
that woman his mother. whose brain had
been deranged BY trouble and disappoint-
ment.
He turned to the door to find himself
covered by his own revolver in Coxon's
hand. The bully had recovered his
spirits.

warning from Laura Craven. and the
trapdoor by the tower had shut her off
from all communication with the outside
world But now she knew.
Lady Mallaby was mad!
In a fash she understood all. She re-
membered now all Keziah's carefulness
not to betray her mistress, the strange
cries and means that had disturbed her
at night, and then Lady Mallabys mys-
terious disappearance from home. Rose
mary remembered, too the day when
she had paid that forbidden visit to the
tower She had heard cries then-awful
cries that had curdled her bloOd-and
from her hiding place she had seen her
lover wipe the agony of fear and weari-
ness from his brow. She understood now
the secret that had been tearing at his
heart strings. and what had made him
so often look haggard and i'll. A great
pity weIled up in her heart for the
tragedy that had been hidden so well
beneath the roof of Luck House. That
it had been suspected By the village
people she knew, for she had been pity
ingly referred 10 as a keeper"
She tried 10 keep all fear out Of her
voice as she said gently:
Il am so glad you know everything,
Lady Mallaby ] have so hated to keep
a horrid secret from you. win you let
me tell you everything in your own room
by the FIRE? 1t is so cold here, and I
know KeZiah must miss you and be
frightened"
For moment her soft voice had
soothing effect upon the mad woman.
Then Lady Maliaby said, with a cunning
smile:
"Keziah won't know where we are.

She won't miss me. I must stay here

is plenty of time-DOuglas is aways no

monotOnous tone
The blood in Rosemary's veins ran cold
with horror as she listened TO the mad
woman's voice trailing on. II could not
be that she was TO die in the underground
passage with the mother OF the man she
loved, 1t was awful, hideous. and as she
realized the bitter malignity OF Laura
Craven's revenge. she knew that the
other woman had loved the same man as
intensely as she had done herself.
She looked at Lady Mallaby and said
pleadingly:
Let me tell you something-do listen
TO me- II you love your son. remember
that l love him and he loves me. and II

She paused She had gained a point.
for Lady Mallaby was listening TO her,

Night drawers are very sensible gar
ments for the little people in cold
weather, as no matter how often they
throw or the bed clothes they are not
apt to take cold. The garment Illus
trated has a center seam. which extends
down the front and up the back to the
belt, where the drawers are cut across
and gathered to a belt. The center back
seam at the upper part of the garment
is finished for an opening. These night
drawers have feet, and most mothers
will prefer to use them, as they keep the
garment down. and. in case of getting
up, the foot does not touch the cold
floor. Muslin, sateen or canton flannel
are the best materials for this garment.
The pattern 1919 is cut in sizes l to
years. Medium size requires 2ls yards OF
56-inch material.
The above pattern can be obtained by
sending 10 cents TO the Office OF this
paper.

She paused and put her hand to her
brow. II was damp with exhaustion. She
had spoken so desperately and intensely
that her throat was parehed and her lips

Lady Mallaby took the miniature and
examined il with keen eyes; then she

She turned and went along the passage,

Becomingness.

Few skins can stand dead white or
black next TO them. Often all the beauty
OF gown and its wearer is lost because
of this too sharp and trying contrast.
The best way out OF the difficulty Is the
Introduction Of the palest tint of flesh
color at the neck and sleeves. Thus a
white silk evening dress has a mere wish
of fiesh-eolored tulle at these places. an
other OF the same sort has a LAYER Of
1esh-eolored chiffon under the white lace
chelniset. Even black gown can have
the palest and narrowest Of ruchines m
shade of the deadly line. OF course Won
must be careful in your choice of tint A
woman with ford complexion must get
a darker shade than pale woman. and
those with yellow skins would do well To
choose pale cream color instead.
