He paused, for the look on her face
was painful to see, and her body was
as that of one who had been struck
by lightning. His heart smote him,
and he pulled himself together to tell
her all.

I want--to know all. ought to have

helped now. Continue-please."
Her words had come slowly, in gasps
almost, and her voice was so frayed
he could scarcely recognize it. All the
pride of her nature seemed shattered.

from her lips which appalled, him
MY God-my God !" she said with
bloodIess lips, her eyes fastened on
his face, her every look and motion
the infection of despair. GO on-tell

cOmDOSure
Swiftly he described what hap
pened in the little room at the traj-
tors tavern, of the momentary recon
Citation and the wine that he drank,
drugged wine poured out but not
drunk by Erris Boyne, and Of his later
Inconsistencies. AT last he paused.
"Why did these things not come out
at the trialY she asked in hushed
tones.
He made a helpless gesture. 81 did
not speak Of them because ! thought
Of you. I hid it, did not want you
to know what your father was"
Something like a smile gathered Mt

IF you had told what he was-if you

said. "Gf ] killed your father, prison

Her face suddenly sufrused and she
held herself upright with an effort
She was about 10 say 81 dare DycE-

she said. motioninE with ner hand.

! have told you, and ease her mind.
for | know she herself meant to tell
you"
As he went he looked at her face
closely. 1t was so young, 50 pathetic,
so pale, yet so strangely beautiful, and
her forehead was serene. That was one
Of her characteristics. In all her life,
her forehead remained untroubled and
unlined. Only at her mouth and in her
eyes did misery or sorrow show. He
looked into her eyes now. and he was
pleased with what he saw; for they
had in them the glow of understanding
and the note of will which said: you
and l are parted, but ! believe in you,
and | will not show | am a weak wom-
an by futile horror. We shall meet no
more, but l shall remember YOU"
As he turned away it was with the
sharp conviction that he had dealt a
blow from which the girl would re-
cover, but would never be the same
again. She was rich beyond the
dreams of avarice," but that would not
console her. She had resources within
herself, had what would keep her
steady. Her lips opened as though she
would say something but nothing came
from them. She only shook her head
sadly, as if 10 say; "You understand.
Go, and when you come again. it win
be for us to part in peace-at least In
peace"
Out in the garden he found her
mother After the first agitated greet
ing-agitated on her part-he said;
"The story has been told, and she is
now reading"
He told her the story of the manu-.
script, and added that Shella had car.
ried herself with courage.
Presently the woman said to him.
"She never believed you killed Erris

why you did not deny having killed

Il could not deny. In any case, the
law punished me for 1t, and the book
is closed forever"

one"
yes, ! have thought, but who is
there? The crowd at the Dublin no.

secret, and they would lie the apron
off a bishop. No, there is no light, and
to tell the truth, care not now"
But If you are not gullty-It Is not
too late; there is my girl II the real
criminal should appear--can you not

The poor woman, distressedly pale
her hair still abundant, her eyes still
bright, her pulses aglow, as they had
ever been, made gesture of appeal
with hands that were worn and thin
She had charm sim, in way as great
as her daughters.
