Der OF days had passed and nothing
had as yet occurred to justify the
early apprehensions she had enter
tanned. Under the circumstances the
meal was little prolonged; the first
shafts Of twilight had entered the
courtyard and had begun to steal into
the narrow chamber with darkening
effect, ere Of an accord the two WON
en- pushed back their chairs.

daughter. now standing in the center
OF her apartment, heard no sound
from the other room; then timid
footstep approaching the door was
followed by an indecisive rap.

mistress.

Erect, with mien almost antagonis-

observant brown eyes passed in quick
scrutiny over her visitor; noting the
aggressive brows; the broad, strong
face; the selfassertive pose of the
well-developed figure. A woman to do

"You wished to see me?" Nanette
first spoke. Marie lifted an expostu-
latory hand. What bad manners. thus
