CHAPTER XIII.
FIiuht.

In the alcove the girl waited, torn
in the thrces of incipient hysteria; at
first too weak from reaction and re-
vulsion of feeling to do anything other
than lean heavily against the wall and
fight with all her strength and win
against this crawling, shuddering,
creeping horror of nerves, that threat
ened alike her self-control, her con.
seriousness, and her reason.
But insensibly the tremor wore 1t.
self away. leaving her weary and worn
but mistress of her thoughts and ac-
tons. And she dropped with gratitude
into a chair, bending an ear attentive
to the war of words being waged in
the room beyond the portieres.
At first, however, she failed to grasp
the import of the alteration. And
when in time she understood its trend.
it was with incredulity, resentment.
and a dawning dread lest a worse
thing might yet befall her, worse By
far than aught that had gone before.
But to be deprived of his protection,
to feel herself forcibly restrained from
the shelter of his generous care!
A moment gone she had been SO
sure that all would now be well with
her. once Maitland succeeded In rid
ding himself Of the police. He would
shut the door and-and then she would
come forth and tell him, tell him
everything. and, Withholding naught
that damned her In her own esteem
throw herself upon his mercy. bruised
with penitsnce but serene in the a.
surance that he would prove kind.
| She had such faith In his tender
