days had broken down his nerve. He

the first encounter. II he had only
had himself 10 think OF he would
have been brave enough. But the
thought of his wife made a coward
Of him. He could not AFFORD TO run
the risk again.
Mrs. Haig had shown him that his
precautions were useless: and
though II was possible To strengthen
his scheme OF defense. there was
bound TO be a loophole somewhere.
He would have 10 come 10 terms.
To and fro he paced the long room

behind his back. Difficulties and
dangers seemed to meet him which
ever way he turned. II he paid this
money. he would place himself still
further In the woman's power. Per
haps that would be better than ex-
posing his wife to the woman's NAL
ice But there was the question OF
money.
Where Is the money TO come
FROM" he asked himself.
Twenty thousand pounds was a
large sum. Nothing could be raised
on the estates, even II his wife had
consented 10 such a course. He
paused opposite portrait OF Lady
Betty Treverton-painted by Rom

10000 pounds for II, and 1t would
possibly fetch half as much again IL

full woman In a white dress with q
lApdog on her knees. II was not 50
valuable as the Romney, but 1t was
worth a great deal OF money. The
two pictures together would fetch
more than he required to satisfy
Mrs. Haig's demands.
II would hurt him cruelty to part
with them. He valued them far be-
yond their worth in money. He had

said to himself There's no other
way.
He flung himself into chair. and
resting his elbows on his knees and
his chin on his hands. stared at the
portrait OF Lady Betty Treverton.
II was nearly dark now, and he
could hardly see the face. but he
fancied that II looked down on him
with contempt. She had been a
proud and high-spirited .yoman. the
daughter OF great house. He could
well imagine how she would have
