It had flown down even to Monkswood Priory,. to goad the fiery -hearted old eeigneur toa tater madness -to make him ease, ine bis passionate pride, the hour of thart once idolized sons birth. And Cyril Trevanioe knew all thise,-) they dal their best, Major Powerscoura and -Captain Hawksley, in their Iriendly good mama& but they could not keep it teem him.

And not once, since lie had been strieken down by that Unseen Hand, had the tatel name of the golden -haired traitress es- caped his lips. He sat alone Oils evening.
