George Conway is, he'd have been here with me-

ness" said Daura "By this time, hope, the doctor
may be with him. If-if you don't believe me, would
you like to the doctor-by and by?' she quickly

at once. Somehow she must make time.
"If you tell me, your honor lady, that Conway
fell down in fit faint at sight of and lay in the
road till someone brought him here, I'll believe you,
Troy said. "And I'll believe he hasn't back to
himself if you say your honor that it's true. But it
will only make things if you deceive me"
"I do tell you this my honor, Daura repeated.
"And, whatever feeling against George is whether
right wrong remember one thing: My sister loves
hirn-worships him. Mr.. Troy!"
I'm sorry hear that he said subsiding again into

house, except George Conway.
"Then you do want to hurt him.
aIwant to do justice And will do it, Nothing can
keep me from that. -. -
aWhat was trying to say Daura hurried on, lis
this: You don't wish to hurt my sister; you'll let
go and find out how George now, and tell her what
has happened not the part that you, except
that it your motorcar Please let do all this,

you would believe I'll tell you exactly what the
doctor says; but first must my sister, she will
hear of the accident from somebody else.
"The accident That's what you going to call it,"
@Thats what thought it was. Annira had better

if the bridegroom disappeared the wedding day.
She couldn't bear it. You needn't be afraid that III
try to help him in any such way that. I'd take you
to his room, and let you him lying there; but just
now my cousin Captain MacRimmon is with him, and

them that would beterrible for family. Let the
meeting be when you two alone
