CHAPTER NIL "I Know It.o

It was lovely afternoon, but she had never enjoyed drive less She was thankful when it had ended, and they were back once more at the Red Grange. She nereed herself for the inevitable scene. When she saw Fisher follow David into his study, she stood for a moment with her hand pressed over her eyes. Soon they would come for her soon she would be called down there to answer the accusation Fisher would make against her.
 Isiit the moments passed, and nothing happened. She could hear their voices rising and falling. but nothing happened, and she went slowly upstairs.
 But behind that closed study door, Fisher had turned on his friend with excited impulse. "David. who is that woman?" Brctherton .aised his eyes from a cigarette he was lighting.
 "What--woman he asked slowly.
 "That girl-Mary. as you call her?" Weir"
 There was little pause, then Fisher broke out again eXcitedly:
 Who is she? You think she is Sigel's widow. l knoy. but" "I never said thought so. know as well as you do who she is. ' Bretherto on's voice was rather flinty she is Mary furnival," he added de- i liberateIy. "l have known it all along"
 Monty Fisher stared at his friend for an instant without speaking Then:
 You know if all along. my deat fellow! And you allowed this woman to deliberately deceive yod. and pas, herself off as Nigers widow" 'T knew it all along" There was something in the quiet answer that Fisher resented. [ He had been David Brethcrton's i closest friend for so long that il | that he had been shut out from all this.
 Mary i7urDiyals influence must be great indt cd.
 l After a moment he tossed hi; ! cigarette into the fire, and shrugged ] his shoulders.
 "Of course it's no business of mine; but admit I cant undersia and you
 What is the result going 10 he? How in Heavens name are you going tc get rid Of herr" T am not sure that I wish to get rid Of her" said Bretherton. Fisher stared. A daunins suspi. | cion crept into his eyes: he thought Of his sister. and her anger that night

NOW GO ON WITH THE STORY

How dared Dolly. after all she had done. contemplate asking David for money? She had not the slightest claim on him: it was outrageous. And thcA -ae remembered that it was nothing worse than that which she herself was doing. She who had no claim on him either-she who was a stranger--a mere nobody. Dolly had at least been Nigel's wife what ever she had done since-but for herself
 One thing remained clear to her. She must leave the Red Grange: she must leave David and Miss Narney. and the beautiful house and garden, and go back to the old weary drudg- cry of life as it had been when she first met Nigel.
 Any day, almost any hour now, Dolly's letter might reach David, and then She found herself crying soft ly. She did not want to go. If seemed so impossible to walk away from this new, wonderful life, and go back to the tear and hustle of Lon don on few shillings q week; and yet how much more impossible would it be 10 stay here, dreading discovery every moment Of every day-acting a lie.
 Once she had thought that she could go straight 10 David herself and tell him, hut she knew now that she could not. How could she toll him that she had shnmelessly called herself his brothers wife? How could she tell him that she had once believed herself 10 have loved Nigel, when now--at this very moment there. was another man for whom she cared with every beat of her aching 1 heart?
 They were SO very different, these two men. For brothers they were amazingly unlike. and yet at one time each in turn had been dear to her. She had lost ono, and now she must lose the other also.
 1 She erept into bed and law awake, staring into a darkness that seemed pulsating with throbbing thought.
 The gray ghost had warned her to to. Well, she would take the warn ing.
 But with the morning sunshine her determination weakened; her coward heart pleaded for just one day moro ! just one more day.
 A. few more hours with David a few more hours of forgetfulness---and then she would write the fins to the story with her own faltering hand, and steal away out Of his life.
