She was hviug on a volcano, as those ever must who are living under a false identity, with a secret to keep; but she knew she should not be kept long in suspense, for Roland Clifford was a straightfor- ward, mum blunt man, who called a spade a spade, and went direct to hie point. Be did so now. "My dear, I wish to ask you a ques- tion about something which Blanche tells me she saw a few nights ago, and tvhieb you can doubtless either deny as a mis- take or explain.' The woneann very heart stood still with sudden deanly fear as it instantly flashed upon her what he alluded to.

She stood at bay like a hunted wild animal, with the agony of her soul in her eyes. "Well, she said, "your question, doc- tor!" "Is simply this, and if you answer me no, I shall believe you: Did you or did you not go out a few moreinga ago, be- tween one a,nd two o'clock, into the park arid meet a man?" She faced him how fully, though the red and burning blood that looked. so like guilt and shame dyed cheeks and brow. Dr. Clifford almost staggered. He had uneonsciously so hoped for, so reckoned on, an instant and easy denial, that that one miserable word came upon him like a.shock. "Blanche told me," he said, when he could !Teak steadily, "thee she woke up, missed her ring, and went to your room to get you to ,help her to search in the drawing -room for it; that you were not. !n your room, and, thinking you were in the library, reading, she sat down by the window to wait for you. Then she saw you crossing the lawn alone; but an hour later she saw you come out of the copse a few steps into the moonlight with a gentleman whom she did not re- cognize at all, and thinks went away toward the village. She saw him draw you back into the shadows, and, she thought, take you into his arms. Then you came back alone to this house, and she went away." "She played spy on my actions to some purpoae," said Christine, with bitter scorn. "But she told you the truth, and you have a right to believe the worst of me you like, for you see I admit the charge?' "Heavens, child, I make none against youl I believe in my emit that you are the victim of some seaenp!" broke out the doctor in a blaze of passion; "and I will see you righted, whether you will or no, if I can. What and who is this man?" She shrunk visibly; her eyes fell dry and tearless; her lips closed et herd,. des- perate defiance --closed all the naore revocably by his generous threat of rightlitg her against her will.
