Lady Glaucourt had not hesitated to tell the world that her daugh. = «i. ter had refused Sir Herbert Gresham; she did not hesitate to tell Mr. Danvers the «same thing. Yet, for all that, the week her lover had accepted' to etay at Glaycroft, glided into three weeks, pearly a month, and it was not a time of unalloyed happiness. There were moments when it seemed to Judith 'that ghé could not go on. It was wonder. ful that at every tun some little phrase, some little incident brought back that event to her mind, and seemed to paralyse her energy to go on, while there 'were . moments 'when even her lover became Aware that there was a veil of reserve ++ between him and her which would have .1o be torn down if they were to' he really * "happy as he hoped they would be, for, notwithstanding, that he had knocked about the world, he had preserved some . thing idyllic and _old-fashioned in 'ideas of married life, with which her té beauty wae more in keeping than her thanner. Once when they had - been in , the garden in the evening, by moonlight, 1i6 had stood euddenly etill and eaid: "I sometimes wonder, Judith, whether ag you will ever care for anyone.

Mre. Lorraine merely said: "Poor Hugh." Yes, it certainly seemed ae if there was an end of Hugh. - . And presently the end came eo swiftly, so unerringly, pointing its rapier at the Jory heart of things, that it eeemed 'to Judith that she could feel the point of the blade of fate entering her soul. 'It wag the end of August now, and Dan- vers, while loth to leave hig lady love, im- precsed upon her that the sooner He went the sooner he would return. He noted her ghastly pallor, when he told her that the day after to-morrow he must go home, if only for a few days, and put it down to the fact that she really cared for him. "Why oan't we just be' married here quietly in the village church, and go back to Jour work ifi Parise without any fuss {" 8he knew, while she asked the question, that it could mot be, that the fact of her urging this would be eounted againet her in the future, that terrible future which had seen the moving holding something in eo for-her, something which she would not have the courage to face or'to bear, but which she felt instinctively would not e | be out of proportion with her ill-luck, and with 'the justice of fate, which we ao knowledge when we commune with our soul, even en 'we have made an arrange. ment with that soul to inveigh against]: her. 8he was. unlucky, and there is'such a here is no doubt about it, guerdond of this world are "to be reckoned as the ultimate rewards and final endings to life.
