The smile with which she dis

CHAPTER X
A Woman's Faith.

Duchemin woke up in his bed,
glare of sunlight in his eyes.
He groaned aloud and with
both hands clutched temples that
promised to split with pain that
crashed between them, stroke upon
stroke, like blows Of a mighty ham
mer.
Also, his jaw was stiff, and devel-
oped a protesting ache whenever
he opened his mouth.
Then Duchemin remembered
He got up hastily and spent sew
eral thrilling minutes under an lev
shower and emerged feeling more on
terms with himself and the world.
The Valet-de-chamber brought
with his tray the announcement that
Madame de Montaais presented her
compliments and would be glad to
see monsieur at his convenience in
teh grand salon. SO Duchemin made
short work of his dressing, his cot
fee and roll, and hurried down to
the drawing room.
Her profound reverie disturbed by
his approach, she rose quickly, ad-
yancing to meet Duchemin with both
hands offered in sympathy.
MY dear friend! You are suffer

He met this with a smiling denial.
Not now; at first, yes; but since
my bath and coffee, I'm as right as

it" Slight pause prefaced one
more word-'indefinitely."
At this confirmation of the fears
which had been haunting him,
Duchemin nodded slightly.
