With sigh, she beckoned me nearer.
"There will never be peace between

better to await the result of the fierce
alteration l heard ding on in the room
across the hall. But the patience it
took was great, and soon saw that my
suspense was likely to last hours
Coralie slept-slept what 1 should call
the white sleep of despair. Only Miss
Ffolliet looked in, and she but for a
moment. Once heard hesitating
step approach the door, only to with
draw again, after which l caught
glimpse of Mr.. Beauchamp's departing
figure as he CT )ssed the verand to the
front Of the house. His step and mien
were not encouraging He tottered as
he passed the window, which did not
speak we'll for his vaunted disbelief in
Mr.. Melville's assertions. Behind him
came the rector and another man l did
not know, followed by the sound of
departing wheels as the carriage which
had brought the latter rolled away.

ne torbore to press when you were
likely to be care to him."
Her reply l did not hear, for at this
persistent attack upon the character and
disinterestedness of man SO imposing
as Mr.. Melville, l had fallen slowly
back till l was too far removed from
them both to catch anything but the
sound of their voices Curiosity had
given way to indignation, or perhaps it
would be ne .rer the truth to ", to a
growing fear of my own sensations. l
was In condition of revolt, but at
what | dared not even ask myself.
Certainly not at the stand taken by
Mr.. Beauchamp, whose convictions, if
not his open expression If them, seemed
warranted by facts. At what, then?
At my own past estimate of this
fascinating man, whom all seemed
united in distrusting? Possibly, but 1

an inner tumult Of which | was pro-

The docto., who had seemed averse
to obtruding himself at so serious a
moment, and who had been waiting,
In remote corner, for the end of these
attempted explanations, advanced as l
retire .ted,. and the interview between
the lovers came to sudden termination.
Mr.. Beauchamp fastened from the
room, and the doctor, taking the weep
ing girl in charge, attempted to comfort
and encourage her in the same breath.
AS l listened to his wise, true words, l
felt that possibly there was another
disheartened woman who needed COM
fort and encouragement, but l crushed
down the selfish thought and brought a
quiet and imposed countenance back
to the bedside when he finally rose to
give me his instructions. Soon after he

had been sure that Miss Ffolliet
was a scheming md unscrupulous
woman, and had found her tender,
capable and sympathetic, in a very
extraordinary crisis.
Three shocks are too much for one
day, and beg m to hope that the after
noon would wane and night come
without any further disturbance to our
peace of mind. And it seemed likely
to do so. The day merged into twilight,
and neither Mr.. Cassetty nor Miss
Ffolliet appeared. Supper time came,
and then | remembered that Mollie was
likely to bring in our tray, and Mollie
was gossip, and
All! here she was.
The way she entered and the wly she
glanced from me to her sleeping mistress
spoke volumes. Placing the tray on the
table, she drew me back of the bed-head,
where she whispered quietly:
something is very wrong with Mr..
Cassetty. Can you spare a moment to
look at him? Miss Ffolliet has lien
into one Of her little tantrums and gone
off for walk in the twilight, and we
don't know what to do with him. He
is in the library all alone"
"Wait here" said l, and, without
another word, sped ,cross the hall to the
room she had mentioned.
L knew as soon | saw him that it
was grief, simple, heart-breaking grief,
which allied him. He sat with his head
on his hands, and did not look up when
l approached him. The photograph of
a WON n lay on table at his side 1t
bore startling resemblance to Coralie
Across its lower margin was written in
peculiarly flowing characters, Hide

setty, if the painting in the paror told
the truth, was very different-looking
woman. For once, twins were unlike.

1t was thus l addressed him, standing
straight before his bowed figure. He
hardly answered, but as l persisted in
waiting for my answer, he presently
reused himself and looked up, saying
that he was broken man; he asked me
to sit down.
"You believe, then, what Mr.. Mel
vile so boldly asserted" l protested in
my surprise. "How can you, after
what you told me about the scar and
your wife's letter."
He turned haggard eye upon me.
"He says th.t the letter upon which
my whole claim was founded was
written by his wife and not by mine, and
was sent for him and not for me. That
by. some mistake (perhaps both were
writing) it got into an envelope directed
by Helena to me, and that while recog-
nizing all this from the first, he had let
me advance my claim and carry away
the child because he saw how much more
daughter would be to me in my grief
than ever she could be to him. This
was enough like him to be credible-I
