Then there arose before her the re- membrance of small. and at the time un- noticed, incidents which had occurred lately. She remembered how, on one oc- casion, Vernon had drawn a. rough sketch on a piece oi paper which he had taken from his pocket, and on which were stamped an iyraborate crest and ar- morial bearings; she had asked him at ‘the time whose they were, and he had 'answered so carelessly and indifferently that she could not now recall the reply. How was it. too, that he never spoke? of the past but in a. strangely guarded ‘wuy, never alluded to his relations, even in his loving converse with hert I Was there not, also, something mys- ‘terious in his visiting so unknown and ' secluded a spot as Newton Begin? I Could it be true? Jeanne. pacing up and down. felt that .

Jeanne's face flushed with sorrowful indignation at the idea. "I should have loved hum let him he what he might," she murmured. "Why did he not trust met" Then came with painful intensity that pang of jexlomy which Lady Ldeelle's assertion of Teimon's love for her had aroused in J eanne's breast. Had he really te) truly loved her, and grown tired of er? (“3175; " . Tr . Jeamus's face grew pale, and her soft lips quivered. It was a bitter blow to her pure, sweet maiden love, the thought that another woman had listtyd, to ht low, musical words of lover-that other lips had received the leases which Jeanne had deemed so entirety her own.

M ' What she wanted Gil, her lover. not a coronet; and the knowledge that he had loved nether woman before he had won Jeanne's love was wormwood and gall to The dusk came creeping silently down, l and found her still pondering and chafing ', over the secrets, which had been revealed to her, and still undecided what to do. He-artist or marquis, whichever he was-would be here in a few hours. How could she meet him with the old light- hearted gayety--how could she let him take her in his arms and kiss her with the some freedom as of old, while this shadow would assuredly creep in be- i tween them? t Supposing she told him of this strange lmeeting with the fair-haired, lovely woman of fashion-supposing she told him all that Lady Lucille had told her? What would happen?
