One wail to tell Sir Jaffrey at ouce the whole matter and tract to his love for her; the other wvs to face it out and dare the man .be hated to do his worst. 1f the man at her aide had been dif- ferent, if hie ware of honor and morbid fear of the suspicion of di.bouor had been less acute. she would have told bim all mud trusted to ber love to w'lu him to cling to her through the pub- licity and .caudal which would they ita- o� follow when Pierre was met at del - sew.

Tbe alternative was to face the other man and dare him to do what be pleased. What would be do? There wee that scene on the Devil's rock, but there was to proof of what the had done. Besides, it there were, what did it matter? If she was to be dragged from the place to which- she had climbed, what did it matter bow far she fell?

"Jaffray's wife can be uothiug but m7 daughter, Iola," she answered. Tbe girl paused and then said slowly and thoughtfully: "I could wish that there were less di- plomacy in that answer and more warmth in the tome." And she sighed.

"It is hard to give oonlidenos where there is no sympathy," said Lola "Aa hard as to give sympathy where DO oontldeuce is offered, child." The girl sighed and raised her hand and let it fall on ber lap as if with a gesture of disaploiutment. "I want to and love in the manor home," she said, after a pause, looking up tato Lady Waloote's face, "and you offer me -this," dropping her voice, but keeping her e7ea axed steadily on ber companion's face.
