Geoffrey had gone home that night with a strange whirl ot complex feel- ings in his mind. The long day upon the summer river, the near proximity of a girl who was beautiful and ten- der as a poet's dream, the belief that he had but to put forth his hand to take twr for his own-all this had had its full effect upon him. Added to which, the fumes of the wine were in his head, that wine with which his uncle had piled him so persistently. Was that the reason that he had been earried away a little beyond his own natural sell? Why he had mur- mured a word or two in Angel's ear, that had better. perhaps, have been left humid? Why he had pressed her lc-ft unsold? Why he had pressed her hand at parting with a fervour that had called up the tell-tale blushes on to her face and neck?

' Am I not with thee!” "Alas, Martina," answered Rose, "it it were, indeed, love that brought me to this house, how much easier would it not be! But the loathing and the abhorrence which fills me every time grows greater and more intense, so that it amounts to a crime so deep that God himself can never pardon my wickedness." A stifled sob cut short her words, and then the door was slow- ly unbarred from within, and a man admitted them into a small stone-flag- zesUard. _ A long, low, shivering sigh we: the only answer. And then Madame do Brefour drew herself up, and threw back her head with a resolute action, which told old Martine that the mom- entary weakness was subdued. __ The man who admitted them seemed to expect their visit. He led the way in silence into a small dingy house, whose windowa were closely barred up with thick iron bars. A lunatic had once been confined in this melancholy house-a raving madman, who had been kept here for years. There was a pris- oner here now, but he was not mad. Every six months Madame de Bre- four came to see her brother-that was what they believed him to be; and she paid the couple who took care of him for her. Paid them for the houatr. rent and the taxes, for the coals and the firing, for the food and for the medicines, down to the very clothes that they had got for him to wear. It was a long business; tor, though she paid liberally, she went scrupulously into every item, and examined every bill. The man went through all the accounts with her, whilst his wife took from Martine's basket the delicacies they had brought for the recluse. These people had looked after the madman who had died in a raving (it in the house. They had been trained to that sort of thing; and it was an easy, restful business for them, now that they were growing old. to have this quiet, harmless foreign gentleman to look after; who was only “a bit soft," as they put it, and whose worst mania was that he would never go out of the house. even into the little melan- choly yard, with its fringe of laurel shrubs, until after it was dark. When the business was over, Madame de Urefour asked a question or two, to which the woman replied. "How is my brother?" "Mueh the some, Madam." "Is his appetite good?" "Excellent. He has not hadaday's illness since you were here last. and he tsleeptr.p.erffetlt." -. - _ _ _ The two women were ushered into a small room on the ground floor, where an elderly woman rose civilly at their entrance, and set chairs for them by the table. This was the wife of the man who had admitted them; and they were Madame de Brefour'a servants, paid by her twice a year for the work they did for her; paid to look after the poor gentleman, who was not mad, but who was weak in mind, who, had delusions-to whom absolute seclusion was necessary.
