man; that she had exalted him into
a hero Of romance. He a traitor to

for a price. How little she had
known him; how poor her judg-

She wondered over and over
again what Estcourt thought OF Il
all. He said very little. He had
been very kind and considerate to
Felicity. but to her he had ex-
pressed neither astonishmeut

alone.
But she felt that in his heart ne

every hope now for them both. He
would come out as safely as he had

But the moments passed, and
when no returning figure greeted
their anxious eyes the watchers be-

Then a hoarse cry Of Joy and re-

but what was It? The cheering
crowd grew silent and shrank back
as Il approached.
On It came, that terrible, silent
figure, with whom the FIRE had
played and left alive, but scorched
and disfgured beyond any likeness
Of the man who had been Paul
Delacour. Suddenly he stood still,
and the child dropped from his
arms-unhurt. In the same minute
he fell to the ground, and when
they gently raised him he was
dead.
Even Felicity, when she knew

have been otherwise. OF Delacour
q might truly be said that nothing
in his life became him like the Ieav-

On the night Of the day on which
DelacOUr had been arrested Lady

speak to her husband on some
trivial pretext. They had dineu
alone, Felicity being prostrated

usually did nowadays But Lady
EstcOurt was too restless and un.
happy to stay by herself, and as
Felicity's door was locked against
everybody, at last she summoned
up courage to 90 and look for her
husband.
She could not yet realize that
Delacour was in the hands Of the
police and would trouble her no
more. Il had been a terrible shock
to her when she returned home and
heard what had happened.
