MY constitution demands a daily
walk. Besides, we can amuse our
selves with watching the children
sailing their boats and obtain an
excellent moral at the same time.
We can think of all the people we
have known who have set sail so
gayly, and of the storms they have
met. Some have been over
whelmed and we have seen them
no more, while others have lost

happiness, and toss about, a dere-

She moved away before any one
could answer.
What does she mean? What is
she going to do?" Norah whispered,
in agitated tones, to Lady Sarah.
The Washington times., 1919-08-24

"ComeI We must follow them. l

she made a movement to get up.

she will, and we cannot stop her.
If she does not-and I think she
would have spoken sooner If she
meant to speak-we will not give
her the satisfaction of seeing that
We are frightened"
But how can 7 let him go like
that? How can I stop here not
knowing what is happening
whether even now she may not be
poisoning his mind against me?"
81 am afraid, my dear" Lady
Sarah said, gently, that you will
have to learn to bear many things
that seem impossible now. And
you must learn not only to bear
them in silence, but as though they
did not concern you. Miss Leth-
bridge will be always watching you,
you must make up your mind to
that, and the more you let her see

will do nothing rashly. Let her

not. She will make her case as

house. She took a hanson a little
further on and drove to Charing
Cross.
She went into the station, and
having nerVOusly asked a porter
the way she was directed to go
down the steps into Villiers street.
She saw the Gardens almost op-
posite and entered them hastily,
eager to escape from the curious
gaze Of one or two loafers who
wondered at seeing her there.
She walked slowly along the
prim path, between the burnt grass
and dropping trees, holding her
sunshade we'll down over her face.
In a minute she heard a quick, de-
cided step behind, and looked
round. 1t was Paul Delacour.
For an instant they regarded
each other in silence. Was this
the man who had charmed and be-
wildered her so that she did not
know right from wrong? This
man, with the sharp, handsome
face and furtiVe eyes? This man,
who seemed to have a look of the
shabby adVenturer about him, even
though his attire was faultlessly
correct? WAS it the taint of the
prison." she wondered, with a shud-
der, cor the manner Of their meet
ing, that had robbed him of all his
old glamoT?" The first glance had
killed any feeling she might have
had left for him.
The next moment he spoke.
"You are early" he said. 81 am
sorry to have kept you waiting"
81 had to come when | could.
Your letter was a great shock. l
hardly expected to see you again
after what happened"
They greeted each other almost
as strangers, these two who but a
little while ago had talked of spend
ing the rest of their lives together.
On Lady Estcourt's side there was
not only a shrinking cOldness, but
even a touch of enmity. AS to
Delacour, he was obviously en-
barrassed, he whose smiling self
possession nothing had once dis
turbed.
This is a wretched place" he
said, looking round with an air Of
disgust, "and | am ashamed | asked

know where else to suggest. 1t

AS you say, it was necessary to

conspicuous as it would have been
in another woman. AS soon as
she could speak she sent Marie
away on some errand.
She had recognized the writing
as Paul Delacourt's. How had he
managed to regain his freedom?
She took up the envelope with
reluctance and distaste. She had
hoped she had done with him,
though she could not think this
was very likely. She knew that
"old sins have long shadows" and
hers was not even an old sin, and
the shadow had only just begun.
'How many weary years would she
walk in it?" she wondered.
Then she slowly broke tAe seal.
The letter was written from an
hotel in the Strand and was very
brief. 1t began and ended formally,
and merely contained a request
which read almost like a command
that Lady Estcourt would meet
the writer in the Embankment Gar
dens that afternoon at o'clock.
Dare Irefuse?" she asked her
self. "Nd, better go and get it
over. l must hear at once what he
has to say, and it may be as we'll
that l should hear it where we
are not likely to be interrupted.
But / shall make him understand
quite plainly that the past is done
with, and that for the future we
must be the merest acquaintance"
Then she went down to lunch
with an aching heart.
81 have planned an outing for
this afternoon" Estcourt said,

said, slowly, but | am afraid l

with you"
"Then what do you mean? What
do you want?"
GAS / find you comfortably set

may, suppose, presume that so
far Lord Estcourt knows nothing
of your fight?" he said. That he
is ignorant of all that has passed
between you and me?'
She inclined her head. 1t would
be useless to tell a lie
"And l may also suppose that,
naturally, you do not wish him to
know the truth? That your future
wellbeing depends on his ignorance
of your deception and intended be-
trayal being maintained?"
Again she silently answered in
the affirmative. He was only stat
ing the bare facts and she had
, nothing to say in extenuation.
Then" he mOistened his dry
lips, for he was a gentleman by
birth and breeding, and this thing
did not come easy TO him, "then l
am afraid l must ask you to make
me some return for my silence-tO
make it worth my while to keep
your secret"
"What?" she cried. "You say
that-youi" Her eyes were wide
with horror. "And but a little
while ago l almost thought l loved
yOu."
The color leaped to his face and
burnt there in a fiery, shameful
flush. He drew his breath hard
This was the first time that a wo-
man had had cause to reproach
him, and he felt his degradation to

"let you take the consequences.

that he was obliged to be content.
Lady Estcourt had some diff

that afternoon. She waited until

then, evading Marie's attentions,
she dressed herself very quietly,

her opportunity to slip out of the
