Ono-cw- - vv--â€" “Where is your t'nistress?” asked Lady Lambart. The woman was folding up a hand- some tea gown, and Lady Lambart noticed that she was very pale, with a curious, strained look jn the eyes. as if she were momentarily expecting something alarming to happen. But. perhaps, this was the effect upon her of the robbery last night; servants were rather like that. “Madame la Countesse has been called away very suddenly, miladi,” she said. ‘I am packing her things. and will follow as soon as I can.’ "Gone. '” exclaimed Lad Lambart. “That is indeed sudden. s it. on ac- count of the robbery ?” vvuv v- mv -vâ€"wvâ€"d _ The maid’s dark face quivered for an instant. “Yes, miladi; it is on account of the robbery,” she replied. “Surely she will come back 1’” ques- tioned Lady Lambart. "She has said good-by to none of her friends”â€" “I know, miladi, it is most unfor- tunate. and Madame regrets much; but I doubt if she will come back; though, ofuoourse, I do not know all her glans. A ash of enlightenment darted into Lady Lambert’s brain. She im ed that Trowbridge must have tol the :Oonnteas of his intention to marry ifiilary. and that in a rage she had w-“'l‘he jewelry is only an excuse," ¢ was her thought. “The Countess must 1 have felt she couldn’t see the two to- l . fiber, and so she has vanished, mak- In any case, Trowbridge was cer- ‘ tain to be aware of the Countess’s . departure. Lady Lambert told the maid that if Mr. Trowbridge knocked ; at the sitting-room door he was to be = informed that Lady Lambart had gone on to Lady Ardcliffe’s room. A babel of voices greeted her ears as she knocked at Lady Ardcliffe’s door, and one broken sentence came to her clearly. “Of course, I can’t prove anything now, but all the same I’m morally certain that”â€" The voice came nearer; the door ing red, and breaking ofi suddenly. “How do you do?” said the elder woman, somewhat stiflly, looking so much embarrassed that Lady Lam- bart was puzzled. “Weâ€"â€"I-â€"-that is, we were all talk- ? ing over the robbery,” she went on. f “Will you come in?” ’° “Thanks, yes; I’ve come to sympao a thize.” replied Lady Lambart, airily. “You are very kind,” returned the other, with a quick but eloquent glance at her friends. 'l‘mwbridge had interviewed her “You are very kind," returueu me other, with a quick but eloquent glance at her friends. Trowbridge had interviewed her early in the morning, had learned from her own lips the theory she had formed in regard to her stolen jewels (a thing she had absorbed from the Countess Badepolskoi, as she would scarcely have been able to evolve it alone) and had induced her to prom- ise that she would do nothing inim- ical to Lady Hilary Vane. “It isn’t that I care for the girl particularly,” he had said, “11 I have given people any reason to think so. .it was only to shield her in her affair with 0x- ford, and also because you have been unkind to me lately. She knows we are great friends and she and her mother may fancy I have put these ideas about her into your head. I shall think you more angelic than ever if you promise not to accuse ‘Lady Hilary. You admit you haven’t .any real proofs; that the Countess ‘ has them all, and has said that she’ll make them known this morning; but mark my words, she’ll do nothing of the sort. I’ve been studying her char- ‘acter, and have discovered that she’s as cowardly as she is selfish. She l hopes to make a catspaw of you, .

Lady Ardclifie had finally yielded ‘ reluctantly to Trowbridge’s argu- ments, but she had not told him how she and the Countess Radepol‘skoi had both been talking in the hall of the hotel the evening before against Hilary Vane and Lady Lambart. Lady Ardcliffe had said, What she uavv yuwuw --- ~â€"â€"-â€" which was worth pawm not my Hilary Yang '“5 - .I -An‘3n1 8116 In one in “Ideal Peninsular” is the ideal m It gives the conveniences of the advantage of being cast-iron and mentor: more durable. everybody who had heard me speecu \ remembered it after the robbery. i Lady Lambert and Hilary, congratu- lating themselves on having escaped 1 a terrible humiliation, little dreamei?l clifie’s words, and especi y the Countess Radepolskoi’s, the night be- fore the robbery, told all their ao- xllaintanees who .had not heard; and ' 080 08611 slum. Naturally some of her most inti- mate friends had lost no time in re- minding Lady Ardcliffe of last night’s conversation, and all were bitterly disappointed as well as surprised at the Countess Radepolskoi’s sudden flitting.

Uther eyes also were fastened eagerly upon the handsome features; and the six self- eonstituted Judges decided that the woman was too hard and shameless even for a blush. Lady Lambart shrugged her shoul- ders. “So you and the Countess sus- pect some one in-the hotel, do you? flow exciting !” Dead silence answeredr'and Lady Lambert began to feel that the silence was electrical, though she did not un- ‘orgtanfl why.
