fairly, blazed in her terrible wrath, her
jeweled hands olinched tightly together.
"Tell me, girl, what prompted yew to go
to the ball with my lover, even 'though
.he. were mad enough to invite you?"
Gay shrunk back front the wrathful
beauty in the greatest of cliemay. Should
she tell Iffiss St. Claire that 'Percy Gran-
ville was not her lover? That he was
married, and she herself his bride? The
lovely eritusee lips parted, and egain Gay
erabered that vow of silence whith

"Oheadon't say that --don't gay that !"

ittle Gay was too artless to realize the
Tibet admission her words carried with
them to the jealous woman' standing be-
--fore her.
"You love Percy Granville," oried the
heiress hoarsely -and her voice, sounded
searcely human -even to her own ears.
Poor Little Gay! she could never have
deniedther leve for her fair-haired, hand -
'seine young husband, whom tette addred
with all the pussienate depths •of ' her
girlish heart. The becovn, curly head
dropped into the IittIe trembling white
hands, and she burst into, tears.
"I am answered," returned Mime St.
laire, „with scathing bitterness. . 'But,
'I ark aeon., girl," she went on with rising

All in a moment, goaded on by "the

Evelyn St. Claire caught her .breath
• sharply, and rudely catching one of
Gay's cold little hands in her own white
jeweled ones, gazed searchingly clown into
the wondronsly beautiful face.
"Let me tell you why you must never

Gay raised her curly head, and looked
- up into the flushed, excited -faxte.
"Percy is gay, reckless, bet he is the

that lovely, intex3ent face that ehould
never have been darkened by the shadow

' "Yes," admitted Gay, "poor Ifazel was
finite angry with me."
"You braved her aeger and fled to the

"You"preteplaecl to come home at noon
on the folIevaing day," said, Miss St.
(Melte; "can yon explain to the world
where you were during the long hours
of the night that intervened atter Percy
left you, up to theatime your Sister was
found?"
The lovely facie Aieb. those keen,
steel-bbie eyes gazed grew as white as
a snowdrop.
. The dark, velvety eyes dilated in agony
too pitiful for words, the lovely orimson
mouth quivered grievously.
Heaven help her! she could not tell
that she had 'teased those hours at the
parsonage, for then the err,and which
brought her there with Peroy 'would be
revealed; tend that mest not be, or had
not her peeing husband bound her with
an dath tif silence that it should be kept
a secret?, ,-ot •
They might lay at atter door a fearful
crime; they might kill hem, for she.wast
as fre,glie as a tender flower; crush her

Itiss St: Claire's .voice beolte ID pitilese-
ly upon her confused thoughts.
"Do you think Percy Granville would

Oh, if she had s°ce one in this great
werld to advise her! If she could only
' go to Percy,- oreep into the shelter of his
arias and tell him the cruel things they
were saying of her, and find. sweet con-
solation in his love and his caresses!
But, Heaven help her! even this refuge
*failed her now, for Ire would not know
her, even though he murmured through
the long hours of the day and in the
dead wa,telies Of the night the name of
Little Gay!
"I shall save Percy from your cunning
machinations!" cried. Evelyn S. Claire;
"eave him from the trap his pretty teem-,
girl laid out to catch him, and the day
will come when you will thank me for
it. I give yea your alternative, Gayeell
• Esterbrook. Will you leave here this
very night, or will you stay and face the
d,00ra that will track you down?"
"1 cannot -ole. I • cannot - go and leave
him while he lies Bo' dangerousle ill!"
moaned Gay. "He .is all I have. I will
not leave my-nly--" '
"How dare you intimate that he is
your lover?" gasped the heieese, fairly
convulsed with baffled eage , at the 'fail-
ure of her daring little plot to terrify
Gaemell and frighten her away.
Gay Shrunk baelf from her with a pale,
steered fa,ce, and Would have fled prece
pitately from the room, had not Miss
St. Claire divined her intentions, swung
quickly around, turned the key in the
look and removed it. •
"I Will give you until to -morrow to de-
cide," said Mies St. Claire, harshly; "ei-
ther fly from here with the raorrowex
light -so far away that he mon never
trace you, 'or I will—".
The rest of the whispered sentence was
fairly Iiieeea in Gay's startled ear.
One moment only-ehoeror and agony
blazed into the -girl's face --then without
a, moan or a cry, she fell hum downward
among the Mica of the velvet carpet, in
a deep swoon it the feet of her relent-
less foe. •• a' .•

She gathered up hex' silket robe in her

CHAPTER VU,
Like one from whom the vary breeth of
life bad departed. Gay lay face .downward
on the floor where Evelyn Sit. "Clatr had
left, her. '
It was half an hour or in0120 before
she opened b.er dark dazed, eyes, and, like
a flath, atelier gaze traveled around the
magnificent bondoir in whielt she found.
herself, memory reterned to
She uttered a low moaning cry as she
stregglecl-up to her knees, realizing the
Lull laerror of the awful charge with
which she had been accused.
"Hazel,. oh, Hazel!" she (fobbed itx ut-
ter abandonment, "was your death-erhielt

"Oh, Percy; my love! if they turn, you

moaned; "I am all elope in the worla
now, but for you. I could not' -oh, I
could not lose your love."
Then, with a eltock of terror, she re-
membered the epee Miss $t. °Wee had
PMtured . to her, which awaitela her on
the morrow.
With trembling hands she fastened on
her amt, Which haa fallen off, and sped
Swiftly toward the door, intending to
leave the house at once.
It did not yield to her touch.
"Oh, may God! she has locleed me int"
sobbed Gay; wildly; "what 'shall I do?"
In vain she tore- at the lock with her
slim white fingers, throwing her slight
weight desperately against the heavy
oaken pa,nels-useless-useless. A bird
might' as well have 'attempted to beat

oiled it by beating its weak wings against
Gay found herself, a prisoner under
lock and key, in the great stone house
on the hill. •
Again poor Gay flung herself face down-
ward among the roses oh the velyet car-
pet, with bitter ineolierent, °Mee, calling
out piteously to Percy, her love, to save
bet from the cruel fate that was °teeing
in arounrl her. '
tee One pushed bacIx the "velvet hang -
from an inner. apartment. '
was Aviee, Miss St. Claire's maid.
bee excitement the -heiress had quits
forgotten that slie had gone there, whore
she must have heard all that transpired
in the boudoir -till, after all, it would
have•made little difference to the heiress
whether she had heard or. not, fer the
maid was sworn like a naanweled'sleeve
to do the bidding of her beautiful 'faulty
young mistress.
Gay sprung toward her with a white
and terrified face.
"1 prak you unbar the door," she gasped,
"you' are a yetneg girl like myself, you
axe tender of heart -I beg you unlock
the door and let me go free."
The girl shook her head.
"I dare not -it would cost me my place
with Mise St. Claire," she said; "although
I feel sorry for.you-I do indeed -I would
not dare interfere.' 'a
Gay knelt at her feet imploring her to
set her free. No one yeeld have Ioolxed
into that beautiful upturned pleading „fa,ce
untouched -her piteous sobs would have
melted a hea,rt of stone.
"She is my bitterest foe," sobbed Gay,
"she means to keep me here to meet, on
the morrow, a disgrace that would be
more bitter than death to lane -in the
hope that it would Part my lover and
me. If you have eve t loved, yourself,
and know or can realize what the pain
of that parting would be, I beg you be
merciful th me -for my lover's sake."
That was the only point on which
Avice's heart. could be teethed. Avice's
lover had been torn from her by the
stern, cruel hand of fate -she knew but
too well what it was to be parted from
her love. ,
Box' one moment Avioo ,hesitated. Would
she dare throw ' open the door -letting
this beautiful girl go free -and meet Miss
St. Claire's horrible wrath? , She might
kill het' in her ungovernable fury. She
had locked the door' securely, and she
knew ne one, save her • maid, 'had the
other key to her boudoir. •
In hesitating, 'Avice was lost. .
"I will help you," 'she said thartly.
She silenced the joyful sob .on„ Pay's
lips, by exclaiming: "You must wear my
cloak arid veil, for you will be obliged to
pass the parlor door in going out; the
velvet hangings axe drawn aside, abd Miss
St, Claire sits, facing the hall. You must
trust to your own bra,very to aid you in
your escape. 11 shb tells you. as ,you
