hours having only left the Chantrey, at

been strange happenings at that lonely

apprehension as to what the future might
hold for the man and woman she had
left behind her-the blind man raving in
delirium now, who was being nursed by
the wife he had repudiated, and whom he
would never again see.
She had been thankful to find that her

to question her comngs or gongs. and

She was flying from what? She hardly
knew. From the vague terror that Paul

she had shed no tears for her father;

dumb, fearless grief-not so much because
he was dead, but because Of what he had
become-of what had led up to that death.
Stnl. he had been her father and they

That could have been faced, she told
herself. But SAKE had limited at other

seemed to feel herself caught in a net
