But as she crossed the hall, her

voices reached her from beyond the

another voice-the shrill, almost de.

With q quick step forward, Ruth
reached the portieres, and rung them
back to disclose the sight OF Estelle

But Ruth could not know this. She
only saw him holding Estelle in an ap
parently ardent embrace, and Estelle
with her arms wound around him.
Her dark eyes wide, incredulous,
sb, stood staring at the spectacle;
then with low cry Of pain, she turned
and rushed blindly up the stairs and
to her own room.
