pointed. She had been entirely GER

name that the alleged spy or traitor
could be none other than her daugh.
ter's friend; indeed, 1t would not be
stretching the truth to say that Thorne
was her friend as well as her daugh-
tiers, ana her keen mothers wit was
not without suspicion that II he were
left to himself, or if he were permitted
to follow his own inclinations, the re-
lation between himself and the two
women might have been a nearer one
still and dearer one, yet, neverthe-
less, the shocking announcement came
to her with sudden, sharp surprise.
We may be perfectly certain, abso-
lutely sure, of a coming event, but
when 1t does occur its shock is felt in
spite of previous assurance. We may
watch the dying and pray for death to
end anguish, and know that 1t is COM
ing. but when the last low breath has
gone, 1t is as much of a shock to us
as II 1t had not been expected, or even
dreamed of.
The announcement of the name was
shattering to her composure. She
knew very we'll why Arrelsford would
rejoice to find Thorne guilty of any
thing. and she would have discounted
any ordinary accusation that he
brought against him, but the train of
the circumstances was SO complete in
this case and the condolences SO I'M
explainable upon any other theory, the
evidence 30 convincing, that she was
forced to admit that Arrelsford was
fully justified in his suspicion. and
that without regard to the fact that
