The handsome young datd Was attentive to his motherâ€"no want of hers seemed to escape himâ€"â€" but his heart was at bonny Ger- trude's feet. Gertrude, glancing toward the win- flow, by the purest accident, caught thegleam of the dark, miserable eyes gndthe white hair, on which the light shone. She started with a cry â€"ocry of fear quite unusual with her, for she was naturally brave. - “Har-J,’ she exclaimed, “there is nface at the windowâ€"a woman's face!" _ “A woman’s face!" he said. "Are you quite sure, Gertrude? It must hVe been the shadows that startled, u.'.’ "She had quite recovered from her [right now, and walked at once to the window. "It was no shadow,” she said. “It; was a. woman’s face, with wild, dag-kl eyes and white hair; she was looking; Inthrough thispane of glass." l Lady Fielden came to her. I “d think," she said, “you must} have been mistaken; no woman could? getin here without the servants’ knowledge, and they would not adâ€"l mitosoranger." She drew the lace hangings back. “I have no doubt,"§ shesaid, "that it was one of the; pole passion-flowers that blew against the glass." Gertrude smiled. “You know, Lady Fielden.” she laid, “that I do not suffer from ner- i vwsms. I was startled for a moâ€"; meat, but by no means nervous, and: I am perfectly convinced that it was} I. woman's face I saw. I noticed the ' dark, wild eyes and white hair; there could be no mistake. You will won- do! more, perhaps, when I tell you mu am sure those eyes are famili- orto me, that I have seen them be- fore." "My dear. child, I am convinced it infancy," said Lady Fielden, smiling â€"”quite convinced." Gertrude raised her hands with a. pretty, graceful gesture to her temples. “Let me think,” she said; "where have I seen that face before?" flashy looked at her in astonish- ment. ’ "Now I remember," she said, “and I lean verify my Words. I Called in! at Grey's, the fruiterer’s, to purchase f some grapes and that woman was in ‘ the shop. i thought she was going tofaintt; but when I spoke, she an-' owered coldyâ€"almost rudely, poor creature! I noticed her eyes then, how dark and wild they were, and; what a weird contrast they presented l tuber white hair." Lord Fielden was listening intent-i ly. "Did she speak to you. Gertrude?” he asked. v“Noâ€"only a few words. 353 said, ‘I am quite well. “Did you notice her voice any peâ€"I culiarity in it?" he asked. I "No; I cannot say that I did.

' “I will go first myself,"- he said; i and he did- But; he found no one. Close to the 1 window, however. there was a broken spray of passion-flower and some .rosehleaves, as though some one had] pulled aside the branches in order to dock in. That was the only sus- ;pfcfous circumstance. Then the but- “ and two footmen accompanied lord Fielden through the grounds. films. St. Ange, from her hiding- placo amongst the ferns, saw the‘ reflection of the light. that they carâ€" ried, but they failed to discover her. Harry Was grave and thoughtful that evening. Lady Fielden said that I think ,then was no cause for any anxiety; avidently it was a woman who had , Dome idea of begging from them, and who was curious to see the inmates. "Goodâ€"night, Gertrude,” he said, about the woman peep- 303 through the window, and sleepi “I do not think I shall ever format 5 . nearer. Ho ‘Ilet me go. nor," was the answer, in the least nervous, if that g. What you mean, Harry." I _ He watched her as she went up the broad staircase. She stopped half: way, and, looking down at him. kiss- ed her hand to him. He thought how like that fairest creature, Juliet, she looked. How little they dreamed of what would pass before they‘would meet . Gertrude went to her room, ' and soon forgot her troubles in sweet j with ‘ again! sound slumber; while Harry, the new idea growing in, his brain. felt more and more sure that there 'but I am not, ‘ vapor. That one word "eitl'acted" pro fetal. She had spoken in ; low, murmuring. hoarse voice. almost im- possible to distinguish; but in that word he had recognized the never-to- be-mistakrn roll of the French “r." which the people of no other nation can imitate. He grasped her more closely. "You are a. Frenchwoman!" hn cried. ”You have perhaps come from that wicked woman herself!" She struggled afresh with the strength of a man, uttering low, plteous cries: but in his strong grasp she was helpless as g child. "You cannot escape." he said. "Your struggles are more vain than those of a bird in the fowler’s net." Just then a. few rays of light broke through the clouds; they ported in majestic grandeur, rolling away in heavy masses of black and white leaving the moon sailing was “something" in it, and deter- . peacefully in the sky, mined to go out once more and he retired to rest. i ‘ 3 .CHAPTER XXXIZII. m : Lord Fielden was in no Way daunt- . ed by the darkness of the night. If 3 the moon or the stars had been shinâ€" I ing. the woman, let her be whom she § might, would never ha\e ventured through the park. The darkness had , favored her; it would also favor him ‘ in finding her. He thought that the best thing to do first was to go down to the lodge and see if any per- son had been noticed there. The people at the lodge had seen no one; they were quite certain that no strange woman had passed through the gatesâ€"in fact, no person could] pass through them without their! knowledge; nor did they believe that it was likely any person could get into the park by the other entrances. Lord Fielden's suspicions increas-t ed. The woman had evidently gained j access to the park in some secret‘ manner; therefore her purpose could} not have been legitimate or honest.I It was idle to suppose that robbery had been the motive; consequently Harry was more convinced than ever that the stranger was some person who had read the advertisement about Lola. do Ferras, and wanted to. discover the reaSOn for it. As the woman had not passed through the gates, it seemed probable that she might still be in the park. If he could but find her! He knew the grounds well himself, but he could not decide at what point to begin: asearch. Ho vowed to himself that he would linger all night in the park I rather than she should escape him. More than a}; hour passed, and he was no nearer the object of his search. Oh! surely there Was a sound at lastâ€"that of slow, creeping, stealthy footsteps on the other side: of the beeches. The footsteps came I must see who it was without alarming her, and so he be- gan to noiselessly retrace his foot- steps, only pausing now and then to‘ lee if the other stealthy footsteps! faltered. i He reached the end of the grove: and stood waiting. He was brave: and fearless as a lion, but there Was‘i a queer sensation at his heart as the; f: stranger drew nearer and nearer. The footsteps grew more distinct: i" . and I now that the grove was past, presently they sounded quite close to 5 him. He put out his hands, and: they grasped a woman's garmentsi The woman stopped with a faint low 5 313': j “Who are you?” he exclaimed; but. there Was no answer. It was ’ dark to see. He only knew that hei clutched a tall figure that seemed; frozen with fear. There was silencei for a minute, and then the woman struggled violently to free herself,: i all without a word. I “You shall not go," cried Lord‘ Fielden, “until you have told me; who you are! You need not struggle; L you are a strong woman, but I am of strong man. Such efiorts to escape? are useless. Tell me who you are3 and what, is your business here, and Q then I will let you go." i She struggled with such violence; 880 y if he could discover anything before; LEuropcâ€"you are Lola de Ferras!” tool "Thank Heaven!" he cried.

It was her last hope. It was as though an ocean wave had flung itself against a rockâ€"useless, vain, indeed. injurious to herself. The last shred stood revealed which she cursed in her heart â€" a . tall, stately woman, with a mass of L trasting vividly with her white face; the false hair had been trampled un- ll ly, so clearly that Lord Fieldcn could ‘ see every line of the stranger’s fare and figure. In a moment it flashed across him 1 who she was. This was no poor, i common woman looking for work. i She was rather like 8. queen of trag- ‘1‘ edy. l’ "I know you." he said. “You are ‘ the woman for whom I have been i searching morning, noon and night. 3 for whom I have sought all over i A low cry came from her lips. ~an~l, Lord Fieldcn releasing his hold, she fell upon the ground, shuddering, ; trembling.

It was as much as he could do to hold the strange woman, but he kept her hands tightly grasped in his. I How long a time passed in the ter- rible struggle he could not tell. He found presently that she was panting for bzeoth, and that her strength was failing her, and that in a. short time she must be still from sheer ex- haustion. So it happened. After o few more efforts to free herself, she gay. up struggling, and stood pant- ing and trembling. Then came a long- drawn sigh, a low, piteous cry.
