A terrible nervous fear was dominating
Theodore. She could not be alone with
Hector, she did not dare to trust herself.
And there would be the tomorrow and the
ednesday-withOut Josiah-and the soft
warmth of the evenings and the glamour
of the nights.
Oh. everything was too cruel and impos-
siblei And wherever she turned she
seemed to see in blazing letters. "A second

She kept close to Barbara, and when
Barbara moved she feverishly engaged the
Crow in conYersation-an one-some-
thing to save her from any chance of
listening to Hector's persuasive words.
And the Crows kind heart was panied by
the hunted expression in her eyes. They
seemed to ask for help and sanctuary.

CHAPTER XVI.
For His Very Own.

A T luncheon, when lheodord de-
a scended from her room. the whole
4 = party were assembled and already
seated at the several little tables. The
only vacant place left was just opposite
Hector.
And there they faced each other during
the meal, and all the time her eyes re-
minded him of the wounded fawn again,
only they were sadder, if possible, and her
face was pinched and pale, not the ex-
quisite natural white of its usual fresh,
soft velvet
Something clutched at his heart-strings.
What extra sorrow had happened to her
since last night? What could he do to
comfort and protect her? There was only
one way-to take her with him out OF it all.

For one momentthe whole world seemed
golden with happiness; but it was only OF
short duration. The next instant she re-
membered Josiah and her given word.
He saw the eXaltatiOn i'm her beautiful
face as he spoke. and wild joy seized him.
Then he saw the sudden drOop Of her

eyes, and in a. voice of anguish he i'm

mo, Hector she said, and her voice
was so low he had to bend close to hear.
He clasped her TO his side, he covered
he face with kisses, mIrmuring the ten
derest love-words. She did not resist him
or seek to escape.
She laid her head on his shoulder, and
there she whispered in a voice he hardly
recognized, so dominated il was by sorrow
and pain: ''It must be goodbye. beloved;

his head on one side in that wise way
which had earned for him his sobrlquet.

said as he walked away.
And Hector thanked him in MS nedIl'
and went across and asked Morella 10

Up in her room Theodore lay prostrate.
She could reason no more-she could only
sob in the dark.
Next day she did not appear untii

She moved about, and looked out OF the
window, and admired Theodora's beautiful
hair spread over the pillows. Then she
said:

you for being so beautiful. She made me

Uncle Patrick's daughter, and she
is only your mothers niece"
They both love her far more
than they do me-" said Barbara,
with hanging head.
And then they talked of other
things. Barbara adored her home,
but her family had no sentiment
for it, she told Theodore; and Pat,
she believed, would like to sell the
whole thing and gamble away the
money.
Just before luhcheon-time. when
Theodore as dressed and going IS
down, Josiah came up again to see
her. He had fused in once or
twice before during the morning.
This time il was to tell her spe-

dora's leaving.

Wednesday or Thursday, and we cannot
lose our greatest ornament" he had said

pleaded. Il will come with you. Josiah
But Josiah was quite cross with her.
Nothing of the kind" he said. These
people were her own relations, and II he
could not leave her with them it was a
strange thing. He did not want her in
London, and she could join him again at
Claridges on Thursday. 1t would give him
time to run down to Bessington 10 see that
all was ready for her reception. He was
so well now he looked forward TO a Sum-
mer of pleasure and peace.
"A second honeymoon, my loye!' he
chuckled, as he kissed her, and would hear
no more. And having planted this COM
fCrting thought for her consolation he had
quilted the room.
Left alone Theodore sank down on the
sofa. Her trembling limbs refused to sup

II she had been a practised coqueIe she
could not have done anything more to fan
the fame Of Hector's passion.
Lady Harrowfeld had detained him on
the top Of the steps. and he saw her go
on with the Crow and was unable to rush
after them. And when at last he was free
he felt almost drunk with passion.

tent. He knew Hector
would not be Jealous Of

the brink Of calamity was
strong upon him, from the
look in Theodora's eyes.

her from allowing q Jele-

by the riyer-which ran
on the western side below
the rose gardens and the
wood Of firs-to see Bar

Then Hector's determi-

Theodore found herself

path OF meeting willows,
with a Summer house at
the end, by the waters

There was a strange

them, and both their
hearts were beating to
suffocation-hers with the
thought Of the anguish at
parting forever his with
the exaltation Of the pie

They came to the little
Summer-house and there

they should go away to

tender care he would take

sentence ended with a
