her sitting before the fire, stark tg-

came to her side and touched her arm.

Mrs. Wrandall, but shall take it upon
myself to deliver the car to you. The

finding the girl.
Mrs. Wrandall gave final instruc-

assistant. She had answered all the
questions that had been put to her,
and lad signed the document with a
firm, untrembling hand. Her veil had
been lowered since the beginning of
the examination. They did not see
her face; they only heard the calm,
low voice. sweet with fatigue and
dread.
