Lady Plinlimon.

The most curious thing in the whole
Of Jones' extraordinary experiences
was the way in which things affecting
Rochester affected him. The GOODNESS
of the club members was an instance
in point. He knew that their cold
mess had nothing to do with him. yet
he resented 1t practically just as much
as though it had.
Then again, the case of Voles. What
had made him fight Voles with such
vigor? 1t did not matter to him In
the least whether voles gave Roch-
ester away or not. yet he had fought
Voles with all the feelings Of the man
who Is attacked. not of the man who
is defending another man from at
tack.
The attitude of Spicer and the other
scamp had reused his ire on account
Of its want Of respect for him. the
ter's folly had inspired that want of
respect. why should he. Jones. bother
about it? He did. It hit him just as
much as though 1t were leveled
against himself: He had found. as
yet to limited degree. but still he
had found that anything that would
hurt Rochester would hurt him. that
his sensibility was just as acute un-
der his new guise, and. wonder of
wonders. his dignity as lord just as
sensitive as his dignity as a man.

A great white light, cold and clear
as the dawn of Truth, began TO steal
across the mind of Jones' Why had
this woman come to him this morning

who held her letters? How had Voles
obtained those letters? This question
had occurred to him before, and this
question seemed to his practical mind
pregnant now with possibilities.

asked he.
Good heavens. what question:

Eyes, your lordship. I have shown

Jones had finished breakfast. He
rose from the table, gathered the let
tiers together, and with them in his
hand followed Church from the break
fast room to the smoking room. A big
woman in big hat was seated in the
armchair facing the door.
She was forty If an hour. She had
a large, unpleasant face. A dominat-

made up by art.
"Oh, here you are" said she as he
entered and closed the door. "You

Jones nodded, went to the cigarette
box, took cigarette and lit it.
The woman got up and did likewise
She blew the cigarette smoke through

knew that he detested her. Then she
sat down again. She seemed nervous.
