in an instant and grave anxiety

behind his glasses, dilated with fright

in an anguished tone.

peoples Imagination. The considera-
ton shown US increased as your fame
spread. They kept asking us for de-
tails, and we gave them details. We
told anecdotes about you. And we were
proud of you. monsieur, as proud as If
you were really our cousin. as they all
believe you are"
Nine. Moreau paused. Then she con-
tinued with fervor:
Now if you repudiate US. we are
lost. Yes. monsieur, lost. Consider
our situation in this city-my situation
among the people with whom 1 as
sociate; with the family of my daugh-
ter's fance; my husbands situation in

If they learn the truth. We should

She stopped again and then MUIR

eff you were willing. it would be only
a little thing to do. Naturally, we do
not ask you yourself to gloss over the
truth. But if sometimes you could
walk a little with US in the park. And
then if you would allow me to intro
duce some of my friends to you. And
if you would write your name in few

don't want to impose upon your good
nature; that is to be clearly under

Breath1ess with emotion, she lapsed
into silence. NJ. Moreau wiped the per-
SEPARATION from his temples. The officer
without saying a word. looked at them
with his clear and confident eyes. The
. adventure seemed more or less divert
ing to him. Not for a second had he
thought of getting angry. On the con-
trary, he had a feeling of something
like pity for these good people who in
their whole narrow, shabby life had
had but this one spacious vista-the
reflection of his glory. which they had
naively stolen from him.
Very well. my cousin; I'll stand by
you" he answered with an indulgent
smile.
