The hot color dyed her cheeks; her
eyes grew angry.

back. This woman seems to have
bewitched you all Monty, you are
unkind. when you know how inter
ested 7 am in David. I believe you
are helping this woman to take him

lowered her voice.
She looked very beautiful. stand
ing there in the uncertain light. Her
long. golden hair was unbound and
falling below her waist. She wore a
loose white wrapper, heavily
trimmed with dainty lace, that
suited her to perfection
For moment there was silence,
then she burst out with sort of
chagrined triumph
There IS one thing-she can't
marry him; she is his brothers wife!
There would be an awful scandal ;"
Monty frowned. Sometimes, much
as he loved and admired his sister,
she Jared his nerves.
"A man may marry his brothers.
wife If he chooses" he said.
She answered quickly:
But David never would. He
would never like the kind Of woman
Nigel liked. How can you suggest
that he would ever take q fancy to
a common woman like NigeTs
wife?"
Il suggest nothing. 1t was en-
tirely your own idea"
She made an impatient gesture.
why does he want to find her?
Something must have happened. If
you don't tell me, shall ask David. :"
Il can't prevent you"
Her mood changed suddenly. She
slipped q coaxing hand through his
arm.
Monty don't you love me any
more? You've been so horrid to me
lately. Why is it?"
He slipped an affectionate arm
around her.

SILLY child! Just because won't
tell you everything you want to

She drew away from him. Her
eyes were angry again.
Then you are keeping something

He hesitated. finally he stopped,
and brushed her soft cheek with
his lips
Il am only keeping it back for
your good.
My good! What rubbish you
talk! How can it DO for my good
not to tell me things about NigeTs
stupid wife,"
There was subdued passion in her
voice; she pushed him angrily away.
Monty lost his temper; he let
her go.
Very well, then, If you insist.
viii tell you. She is not Nigel's
wife-this girl-that is the whole
TRUTH

CHAPTER XIX
Not Nigel's Wife

For a moment Miss Varney stared
blankiy at her nephew, then she
drew herself up with d sort Of prim
dignity.
Really, David, 1 don't think it's
quite nice Of you to make jokes like
that-if you meant it for Joke"
she added with gentle rcbuke. "Espo-
cially at such a time. when we are
all so worried and unhappy"
David raised his eyes. There was
something in their expression that
would have told her without words
that what he had said had been
spoken in deadly earnest.
Il did not mean it for a joke" he
said quietly. MARY was never Nj
gels wife! It's all been a-mistake!
He seemed to be choosing his words
carefully; his grave face had paled a
little.
Miss Varney looked at Fisher help
lessly She wondered for a moment

if David's head were turned; she
pushed her chair back little
With a nervous gesture.
David. dearr'
IT'S quite true, Miss Varney, "
Monty Fisher interposed. David is
quite right in what he says. The
lady who has been staying here with
you is not, and never was, Nigels
wife,
There was a tragic silence.
Il don't understand. You look as
if you are speaking the truth, both
of you. Butch, it can't be true!
She would never have deceived us
sol Why, she told me herself how
dearly she loved Nigel; how all her
happintss died when he died"
THAT is true enough" said David.
Il believe she did love Nigel, but
she was never his wife" He smiled
a little, meeting Miss Varney's puz-
zled eyes. II cant explain things
any better to you, dear" he went on,
because I don't know the true ex-
PLANTATION myself. But when we find
Mary"
1--WE may never find her" said
Miss Varney chokingly. ooh, poor
child--poor child! David, is this why
she ran away?"
Il think 1t must be. You see, she
recognized Monty when he came
yesterday; he had known her years
ago. 1 suppose she thought that he
would tell me-
He broke off with a feeling of bit
ter anger against himself.
Why had he not let Mary know
that he already knew her secret?
Why had he allowed her to suffer
the torture of fear of discovery?
He had hoped that she would tell
him Of her own free will. Apparent
ly it had been a vain hope.
He was restless and miserable. He
told Monty that he should go back
to London with him. By early eve
ming both men were at the Fishers
house.
You will stay with us, Of course, "
Monty had said. And David had
agreed. He was in no mood for lone
illness; he was glad of the offer.
Dora was amazed to see them. She
was vexed that she had not taken
more trouble with her appearance
that evening; she need not have

minded. David never noticed a
womans clothes. and Just now his
thoughts were too occupied with
Mary ocare for anything else.
And what has brought you to
town?" Dora demanded, smiling in
to his eyes across tie dinuer-table.
Anything to do it'll the myster-
ious telegram"
For moment David looked
puzzled; then he smiled.
ooh, that We haven't discovered
yet who it Is from"
But he did not answer her ques-
ton, and she did not like to refer to
it again. In spite of her protesta-
tons that she could manage any
man she chose. she was little
afraid Of David He was too indif-
ferent TO her beauty, too needless

He hesitated, not liking to leave
her, and yet longing to get awayI
he listened. but everything was
quiet, and he went softly to his own
room.
After all. it was Just as wen she
should know now as later; the shock
would only be made worse by delay
But behind her locked door Dora
Fisher stood with clenched hands,
and blue eyes blazing in her whtte
face.
Bitter pealousy set her heart On
fire; not jealousy because she loved
David, but jealousy to think thak

fascinating, should have succeeded

CHAPTER L
"a Woman ScOInea"

He was sorry as soon as he had
spoken. The whiteness of her face
touched him. He tried to take back
his words or soften them; he began
a stumbling explanation, but she cut
him short.
"Is this true-really true2"
He answered miserably that it
was.
She stood for a moment staring at
him with blazing eyes. then she
turned and left him; and he heard
the shutting and locking of her door.
