ly, but In a tone that was hollow and
splritiem, " but I have trespassed too
long upon your kindness already, and
1 shall do very well If I have a ear-
ring*. Martha, of course, will accom-
pany me."
Dr. Mortimer bowed. then arose and
left the room to do her bidding.
Re returned In about twenty min-
utes, saying that a carriage was
waiting. and found that the email
family were rill ready for their expe-
dition.

fore you leave"; then she signified
her readineas to go on, and was dri-
vea away.
In less than an hour Cecile Mont-
gomery stood in the presence of Hel-
en Langley -of the woman who had
taunted and threatened her before
her marriage -who had sent a 00w-
ardly threat, after her when she had
started out upon her new lite with
bright hopes and a heart full of hap-
piness.
It had required no small amount
of ooarage and a merinos of pride
to humble herself aufficiently to come
to heir now ; but her extremity re-
quired it.
She was indebted to a man who
was almost a stranger, for her passage
across the Atlantic; abe had scares
money enough to defray her hotel
bills and carriage hire ; she did not
know the name of her husband's law-
yer, and she did not know to whom
else to go for aid.
She had resolved to borrow of her
husband's sister until she could see
Howard's lawyer and obtain the ne-
cereary funds from him.
A Inca of astonishment had flashed
over Mrs Langley'& face when aha
entered her parlor and discovered who
was awaiting her tbere, but it was
quickly followed by a frown, as rho
turned for her brother.
Then her • es fell upon Ceei•le's child
in the lap b( her nurse, and her face
grew radiant.
She loved children dearly, although
pane had ever Dome to brightea her
own home, sod this dainty little bud
won the heart of every one.
She swept across the room with
quiet eager steps, took the child in
her srmmse,, and kissed her repeatedly.
She had not even answered Cecile's
words of greeting ;the had not noticed
her sorrowful face and drooping man-
ner.
