words at the other In tone OF hec-

speaker had fancied: the recollection

land what she had meant by that
chance allusion to Armstrong which
she had made in the beginning OF their
acquaintance. but he had refrained.
At first he had no right to question
her; there could be no natural end to
their affections; and latterly when
their hearts had been disclosed to each
other in the wild. tempestuous. pas.
sionate scenes OF the last two or three
days. he had had things of greater mo-
ment to engage his attention. subjects
OF more importance to discuss with
her.
He had for the time being forgotten
Armstrong and he had not before
knowE what jealousy was until he had
entered that room. To have seen her
with any man would have given him
acute pain, perhaps Just because he
had been so long withdrawn from hu.
man society. but To see her with this
man who flashed Instantly into his
recollection upon the utterance Of his
name was an added evaporation.
Newbold turned to the woman to
whom indeed he had addressed his
question In the FIRST place. aud there
was something In his movement which
bespoke CALLING almost contem ptuous
obuyiousness to the presence OF the
other man which was indeed hard for
him to bear.
