4 Story of LoUe Mystery and Hate, 7Oth a
Thrilling P9rt,uyaI of Lite Behind Prison Bars

heard Edmond Levasseur's story already
But the first glance of his eyes had re-
assured her; they were devoid of any sus-
picion-the same frank eyes that had
never looked at her except with tender
ness.
The thought brought no comfort with
it; il was like a stab in the heart. She
shivered for all the soft warmth Of the
morning, as she set about her toilet, Won
dering with a sick dread how long this
FOOLS paradise of loves creation would
last-how long it would be before that
dread specter, started up out of her
past, would drive her out into the thistle
strewn desert of the world that laughs.
Before going downstairs she slipped
along the corridor to Bettys room The
girl was still asleep. She lay on her side,
one closely clenched hand under her
cheek. Her breathing was quick and I'M
even, and her face was slightly flushed
There was something so unnatural in her
look. in this prolonged sleep, that Edith
Barrington's heart sank as she stood
there looking down at her For Betty,
who, like a child, seemed to rise with the
birds. to be sleeping so profoundly now,
Certainly it might be the sleep of pro-
found exhaustion, yet she was afraid.
She fingered reluctantly, even after the
second gong had sounded summons OF
such shrill Impotence that she knew it
had been beaten out by her fathers hand;
and as she fingered. the girl in the bed
stirred and flung out protesting arm.
The movement disclosed something fallen
on the bed from her suddenly relaxed
hand.
Edith bent and picked it up-a small
scrap of paper, on which were written
in that same clerkly handwriting which
had come to her by that morning post

cheek to ring up my respected father-in-
law at such an hour"
He bent suddenly and kissed her, press
ing her against his breast with that lover
like fervor that the years of their mar
riage had never stalled. but for the first
time his caress failed to thrill the woman.
She was conscious of one thing and Of
one thing only-the almost cruel pressure
of those damp, roughly folded papers
against her breast
I'm go down and have a look at the
papers before your father comes down to
sit on the Times" Darlington said.

As the door closed behind her husband
Edith gave long, sobbing breath of re-
lief and turned the key in the lock, lean
ing against the woodwork. her breath
coming quickly, like that of woman
we'll nigh spent with running But with
an effort she recovered herself and, TAX
ing the papers from their hiding place,
smoothed them out and folded them into
neat unobtrusive packet which she
slowed away in the innermost recess of
her jewel case.
Just for the first moment Of her sur
prise, when she had turned to find her
husband standing there in the bedroom
behind her, Edith harrington had dreaded
the worst Her mind had leaped to the
conclusion that it was as an accuser An

looked down into her face with a ques-

Very charming eyes, with their eVer-lurk-

said. and pom my word, don't believe

There was just a suspicion of reproach in
his tone that served to put the woman on
her guard. She forced her trembling lips
into smile and put out her hands with
a charming gesture Of welcome.
