CHAPTER u.

Louise. with a heavy, silyer-plated
candlestick in her hand, stood upon the
uneven floor Of the bedroom to which
she had been conducted, looking up at
the oak-frumed family tree which hung
above the broad ch~imney-piece. She
examined the coat of arms emblazoned
in the corner, and peered curiously at
the last neatly printed addition, which
indicated Stephen and John Strange
wey as the sole survivors of a dimin.
ishing line When at last she turned
away, she found the name upon her
lips.
"Strangewey!" she murmured. John
S%trangewey! 1t Is really curious how
that name brings with it n of
familiarity. 1t Is SO unusual, too. And
what an unusual-looklng person! Do
you think, Aline, that you ever saw
anyone so superhly handsomcT
The maids little grimace was ex-

"Never, madam" she replied. "And

She passed across the room. and on
her way paused before an old chevnl-
glass, before which were suspended
two silver candlesticks containing
lighted wax candles. She looked stead
tasty at her own reflection. A little
smile parted her lips. In the bedroom
Of this quaint farmhouse she was look
ing upon q face and a figure which the
illustrated papers and the enterprise
of the modern photographer had COM
bined to make familiar to the world
the figure Of n girl, It seemed, notwith-
standing her twenty-seven years. Her
soft. white blouse was open ut the
neck, displaying n beautifully rounded
throat. Her eyes dwelt upon the oval
face, with Its strong, yet mobile fea-
lures; Its lips a little full. perhaps, but
soft and sensitive; at the masses Of
brown hair drawn low over her ears.
This was herself, then. How would
she seem to these two men downstairs,
she asked herself--the dour, grim mas

rescuer, whose coming had somehow

their number died who had seen more

They were brought to America In the
summer Of 1850. In 1885 their emanci.
patton came. For the next few years
they were buffeted about by changing
fortunes without any settled home.
Ono among them, wiser than the
rest, saw the dangers Of their unset.

they could be turned out ut any time,
and, hiring themselves to strange mas.

when she looked at the hour-barely
ten o'clock. Yet it was all in keeping.
From the doorway she looked back In
to the room, In which nothing seemed
to have been touched for centuries.
She stood upon the threshold to bid her
final goodnight, fully conscious of the
complete anachronism Of her presence
there.
Her smile for Stephen was respectful
and full Of dignity. AS she glanced to-
ward John, however, something
flashed In her eyes and quivered at the
corners Of her lips. something which
escaped her control, something which
made him grip for a moment the back
Of the chair against which he stood.
Then, between the old manservant,
who insisted upon carrying her candle
to her room, and her maid, who walked
behind, she crossed the white stone
hall and stepped slowly up the broad
fight Of stairs.
