him that woman's mentality is

keenest amusement, and l have
always an uneasy impression when

and thought her loneliest thoughts,
knew that she had at least the re-
sources of an artistic nature. His
interest in this unknown person
ality grew stronger; and his brows
came down heavily as he thought
of the burdens laid upon it, and of
the deed of which the history was
now shaping itself with more and
more of substance before his busy
mind.
He went first to the tall French
window in the middle of the wall
that faced the door, and opening~it,
stepped out upon a small balcony
with an iron railing He looked
down on a broad stretch of lawn
that began Immediately beneath
him, separated from the housewall
only by a narrow flower bed, and
stretched away with an abrupt dip
at the farther end, toward the or
chard. The other window opened
with a sash above the garden en-
trance to the library. In the further
inside corner of the room was a
second door giving upon the pas
sage; the door by which the maid
was wont to come in, and her mis-
tress~to go out, in the morning.

detected a faint trace of red gravel.
Trent placed the shoes on the
floor, and walked with his hands
behind him to the window, out of
which, still family whistling, he
gazed with eyes that saw nothing.
Once his lips opened to emit me-
chanically the Englishman's exple-
tive of sudden enlightment. At
length He turned to the shelves
again, and swiftly but carefully ex-
amined every one Of the shoes there.
This done, he took up the gar
ments from the chair, looked them
over closely and replaced them. He
turned to the wardrobe cupboards
again. and hunted through them
carefully. The litter on the dressing
table now engaged his attention for
the second time. Then he sat down
on the empty chair, took his head
in his hands, and remained in that
attitide, staring at the carpet, for
some minutes. He rose at last and
opened the inner door leading to
Mrs. Manderson's room.
It was, evident at a glance that
the big room had been hurfiedly put
down from its place as the ladys
bower. All the array of objects
that belong to woman's dressing
table had been removed; on bed and
lchairs and smaller tables there
we're no garments or hats, bags or
boxes; no trace remained of the
obstinate conspiracy of gloves and
wells, handlterchiefs and ribbons, to
break the captivity of the drawer.
The room was like an unoccupied
guest chamber Yet in every de-
tail of furniture and decoration it
spoke of an unconventional but ex-
acting taste. Trent, as his expert
eye noted the various perfection
