The woman he called dead was living hereâ€"dead in life, hidden in these solitary rooms where 10 one ever came, treated kindly‘ enough, but a helpless imbecile, while he who callod her dead was about to make Blanche Carew his wife. I have often wondered since how I controlled myself in the shock of that discovery. My brain was giddyâ€"my limbs trembled. Of all solutions to the mystery that hung over Woodâ€" leigh, I had never dreamed of this. O( all improhable secrets, one like this had never crossed my mind.

When that girl threw her tender arma around my neck, and laid her blooming face on mine, I almost bateu myself for thinking of the listâ€" legs face, so like hers, that made me shudder as 1 remembered it. I could understand now why Allan Charlton did not seem to love his child as some men do. Every time he looked upon her a thrill of sorrow, shame, and remorse must have shaken him.

What if, when he heard how I had unveiled him, he killed me. in the first hot burst of his fury ? Such things had been. But no â€" coward fear must daunt or stop me. Before the sun set that day Blanche Carâ€" ew must know that she was Iree.

Iknow I had an ordeal before me, and I wanted leisure to â€" collect my thoughts and prepare my plans. The whole matter was so incredible that at times I thought I must â€" have dreamed it. ‘That in this prosaic niveteenth century a man should venture to hide his burdensome, imbecile wife in his own house ; that she should have lived there, for years, perhaps, her presence unknown and unguspected ; that, with this fatal secret upon him, he should try to win one of the fairest and purest girls to be hisâ€"the thing seemed to me impossible ; I could almost have lavughed at myselfâ€"and yet from the certain evidence of my senses I knew it was true. » As I thought over all that hapâ€" pened, I wondered at my own stupld» ity in not suspecting this secret be. fore.
