"However, Lady Gwendolyn St. Maur is one," added the inspector, volunteering the information Colonel Deere dared not ask; "for the driver from the George was asleep in the harness -room when I left; and I don't expect he would have stayed there unless he had ben obliged," It did not seem probable, certainly, and so Colonel Deere left Wiginton to return with the inspector, and Went on alone. Of course Lady Gwendolyn had gone to the ball, and, of course, she would be the gayest of them all, out- wardly, for had she uot a secret to hide? He could not help pitying her somehow. She had put her hand to .., terrible thing, but maybe she had had a scoundrel to deal with, and had e.se sorely tempted, poor, unhappy child!

"It is absolntely necessary hat you should hear what I have o say, otherwise I would not disturb ou at such a time and In such a lace." She lifted her head with a haughty esTuig, "It is impossible you should have nything of so much Importance to oinnaunicate to me, Colonel Deere." "I think you will End that you are %taken, Lady Gwendolyn." His stern, decided manner evident - v startled her. for she turned to ady Teignmouth, who was standing t her side, and said quietly: "Has anything izeppened, Pauline? eggie was quite well yesterday—" Lady Teignmoutle laughed a eer- mee. tuneless laugh. "Don't be absurd. Gwen!We hould have been sure to heir if nything had been the matter." "Of course. I am very foolish to righten myself so easily; hut I am red and nervous, I suppose.

Of course I witnessed nothing that passed after this, for I hurried away as fast as I could; but at three o'clock the poor creature,who had evidently tried to crawl to the "ma for aid, died at the roadside, with his head on my arm; his last words being; • 'Tell her I forgive her, end—' Perhaps • you can fill up ::re hiatus. 17e kretend to understand nothing that I ai.d not see 3.11(1 hear."

Through the lanes, swiftly, but • ever so wearily, eped Lady Gwen- dolyn. Her eyes were dim with un- shed teere--she had no time for wo- manly weakness—her lips were corn- • pi essed, until they looked lite a mere thread; her head drooped on to her bosom. She bad never known what shame meant before, and she felt as if she should never be able to look her fellow creatures In the face again, It took her half, an hour only to reach Bridgton, Hall—this morning. The stable clock was striking seven as she entered the grounds, and niade her way hurriedly to the 'front door. Everything was very quiet, or seemed so to her, recalling the gay music and laughter that had filled the house a few hours back, The butler was yawning in the hall, but did not appear at all surprised to see her, He was getting too nauch accustomed to the caprices and vagaries of fine ladies to be surprised at anything now. "Lady Lenox was at breakfast," he said, "and Miss Wyndharn and three gentlemen were there; but he fancied Lady Teignmouth had gone to he room. HoWever, he would inquire directly, if Lady Gwendolyn would step into the drawing -room for a moment." "Thank you, I need not trouble you,n her ladyship replied. "I know Lady Teignmouth's room, and will go and see for myself." "Shall I tell Lady Lenox you are here, my lady?" . "It is not worth while, as I shall only stay a few minutes." And, hearing the breakfast -room door Oen, Lady Gwendolyn fled pre- cipitately. The thing she could have least borne at this moment was an en- counter with Lady Lenox, or any of her fast friends. Knocking at her sister-in-law's door, she was told to enter. Lady TeignmoUth was reclining on a couch, her face as white as her embroidered peignoir, and she looked startled and surprised at this sudden apparition. "Why, I thought you had gone back to the Grange!" she said. "I did go back," returned the other coldy; "but I simply changed nay dress, and returned on foot, as I wished to speak to you." Lady Teignmouth knitted her brows, and did not seem overpleesed. "I can't imagine what you can have to say to 1/18 of so much consequence as that, Gwen. But you do take very ridiculous notions into your head at times. However, now you are here yo e may as well have a cup of coffee. trent Clementine to get me some- thing, and"—with evident relief— "here she comes. Now make us come' Portable, Clementine; I am dreadfully hungIf. 1 hope you have brought enough for two." "There is half a chicken, and some hana,, my lady." -a. .4. "And I shall take nothing but a cup of coffee," put. in Lady Gwen- dolyn. "Nonsense, Gwen; it's the greatest mistake in the world not to eat. When people lose their appetites they invariably lose their looks." "I'll take nay chance of that," re- plied Lady Gwendolyn. coldly. "Do you want Clementine?" she added, in a lower voice. "It is really necessary that I should speak to you at once." "What, have you got mysteries as well as Colonel Deere?" she exclaim- ed, with a levity that would have dis- pleased Lady Gwendolyn at any time, and absolutely disgusted her now. "I am very unfortunate in ray friends." "I think you are," replied Lady Gwendolyn, with involuntary stem- less. Lady Teignraouth looked straight at her sister-in-law, flushed slightly, and then assumed a sulky air. "At any rate, Reggie doesn't com- plain," she said ,at lat. "And if he is satisfied no one else has a right to interfere." Lady Gwendolyn sipped her coffee, and was silent, waiting for Clemen- tine to go. But her sisterein-law evi- deiitiy made work to detain her; not, perhaps, relishing the prospect of a tete-a-tete. However, at last she could not find any further excuse for her pretence, 2,nd dismissed her. Nothing loath, Lady Gwendolyn opened her mouth to sneak, then, but Pauline stopped her nervously. "I know you are goleg to say some- thing disagreeable, that will spoil my appetite; and after being up all night, I really require support. Please, thetefore, let Inc finish ray breakfast before you begin." "I'm afraid 1 can't; every moment ,precious," "X warn you fairly, I don't believe you, However, I suppose you must have your own way," returned Lady Teigrenouth. And reaching out her hand for a silver flask that lay on the dressing -table, she poured half its contents into her coffee -cup, and drank it off like one well aceustomed to poteht drafts. Lady Gwendolyn watched her with rising horror and dismay. The other laughed deilently, pretending to be Vastly amused at the effeet the saw o e had created "I thought I should shoCk you," she said; "hut, really, I have 8116 inieerable nerves, I could not get bri Without stinnilailts.

"Possibly; but he did not know whom yen bast come to meet." 'One can't help people following. ; don't suppose you invited Colonel Dacre to Turoy; but he is tbere." "That is quite a different thing. are hot a married woman, ne,item. bave I given Colonel Deere seerte meetings in the wood. I did not come here to aceuse, but to warn •yetz Pauline. You must leave the 11.8P-41- borhood at once, for Mr, Helmont is dead." Lady Teignmouth uttered a felet cry, and put out her band for the 'flask naethanieally; but Lady Gwen- dolya took possession of it, adding resolutely: "You shall not stupefy youree,f for you will want all your veils. An inquest will be held on the body at about two o'clock, and you know best what may come out. I shall be sileni for my poor brother's sake; but others who have not the same motive for shielding you that I have, rea3' have seen something, and be quite willing to give all the information they can. You are safe, so fart as Colonel Deere is concerned-; for, though he knows all, you have man- aged things so cleverly that he think. I am the wrong -doer." Something very like a smile moved Lady Teignmouth's pale lips. EVPP at this supreme moment she cow,' enjoy the triumph of having hood- winked and deceived a man of the world like Colonel Deere. If she had injured her sister-in-iaw at the same time, and destroyed all her hopes in life, what did it matter so long as she herself escaped? it was a principle with Pauline never to trouble herself anout other people's affairs, and to shift her own burdeit off her own shoulders to sonaebody else's whenever she could, "If that is the case, I see no reason . Why I should *disturb myself in any way. The affair is sure to blow over comfortably if we keep quiet; and, of course, you won't say anything, for Reggie's sake." The tranquil egothen of this speech roused.Lady Gwendolyn at last, and she turned upon her angrily. "You are right—it is Reggie, and Reggie only, I censider in this mat- ter. You have spoiled his life, poor fellow! but you shall not drag his honor through the mire if I can help ' "You rave like a tragedy queen," observed Lady Teignrnouth insolent- ly. "Dragging your husband's honor through the mire is only done now on the stage." "1 find, to my sorrow', that it is still possible in real life," topieel Lady Gwendolyn, with a strong effort at self-control. "Because you are romantic, my dear. When once you get married ' you will look at things in a. moi'p matter-of-fact light. Reggie and 1 are tied to each other, but neither us has a mind to make cur chains too heavy. He o es his way, and 1 kr, mine. 1 do , not cell him to at:venni for anything he may have done dur- ing our' separation, and claim a Wit indulgence from him. I should not in the least object to hi a having a little flirtation, if it amused him; anci I don't really believe that he wishes t9 deprive me of a similar distrac- tion." . "And you call that a flirtation?" exclaimed Lady Gwendolyn indig- nantly. "Certainly. The moment 1 found Mr.' Behnont was taking me too =eh au serieux, I told hien I would have nothing more to say to him. Even if 'he had not died so suddenly, I should never have spoken to him again." "I see; he was becoming .a nuis- ance, and you decided to .get rid of him by fair means or foul." "What on earth do you 'neap.? Of 'course, if 'I declined kb further acquaintance, he had no alternative but to accept his dismissal." . "It is no .use talking, to me in this way. I know all,'" answered Lady Gwendolyn gloomily.

"However, Lady Gwendolyn St. Maur is one," added the inspector, volunteering the information Colonel Deere dared not ask; "for the driver from the George was asleep in the harness -room when I left; and I don't expect he would have stayed there unless he had ben obliged," It did not seem probable, certainly, and so Colonel Deere left Wiginton to return with the inspector, and Went on alone. Of course Lady Gwendolyn had gone to the ball, and, of course, she would be the gayest of them all, out- wardly, for had she uot a secret to hide? He could not help pitying her somehow.

"I think you will End that you are %taken, Lady Gwendolyn." His stern, decided manner evident - v startled her. for she turned to ady Teignmouth, who was standing t her side, and said quietly: "Has anything izeppened, Pauline? eggie was quite well yesterday—" Lady Teignmoutle laughed a eer- mee. tuneless laugh.

Through the lanes, swiftly, but • ever so wearily, eped Lady Gwen- dolyn. Her eyes were dim with un- shed teere--she had no time for wo- manly weakness—her lips were corn- • pi essed, until they looked lite a mere thread; her head drooped on to her bosom. She bad never known what shame meant before, and she felt as if she should never be able to look her fellow creatures In the face again, It took her half, an hour only to reach Bridgton, Hall—this morning. The stable clock was striking seven as she entered the grounds, and niade her way hurriedly to the 'front door. Everything was very quiet, or seemed so to her, recalling the gay music and laughter that had filled the house a few hours back, The butler was yawning in the hall, but did not appear at all surprised to see her, He was getting too nauch accustomed to the caprices and vagaries of fine ladies to be surprised at anything now. "Lady Lenox was at breakfast," he said, "and Miss Wyndharn and three gentlemen were there; but he fancied Lady Teignmouth had gone to he room. HoWever, he would inquire directly, if Lady Gwendolyn would step into the drawing -room for a moment." "Thank you, I need not trouble you,n her ladyship replied. "I know Lady Teignmouth's room, and will go and see for myself." "Shall I tell Lady Lenox you are here, my lady?" . "It is not worth while, as I shall only stay a few minutes." And, hearing the breakfast -room door Oen, Lady Gwendolyn fled pre- cipitately. The thing she could have least borne at this moment was an en- counter with Lady Lenox, or any of her fast friends. Knocking at her sister-in-law's door, she was told to enter. Lady TeignmoUth was reclining on a couch, her face as white as her embroidered peignoir, and she looked startled and surprised at this sudden apparition. "Why, I thought you had gone back to the Grange!" she said. "I did go back," returned the other coldy; "but I simply changed nay dress, and returned on foot, as I wished to speak to you." Lady Teignmouth knitted her brows, and did not seem overpleesed. "I can't imagine what you can have to say to 1/18 of so much consequence as that, Gwen. But you do take very ridiculous notions into your head at times. However, now you are here yo e may as well have a cup of coffee. trent Clementine to get me some- thing, and"—with evident relief— "here she comes. Now make us come' Portable, Clementine; I am dreadfully hungIf. 1 hope you have brought enough for two." "There is half a chicken, and some hana,, my lady." -a. .4. "And I shall take nothing but a cup of coffee," put. in Lady Gwen- dolyn. "Nonsense, Gwen; it's the greatest mistake in the world not to eat. When people lose their appetites they invariably lose their looks." "I'll take nay chance of that," re- plied Lady Gwendolyn. coldly. "Do you want Clementine?" she added, in a lower voice. "It is really necessary that I should speak to you at once." "What, have you got mysteries as well as Colonel Deere?" she exclaim- ed, with a levity that would have dis- pleased Lady Gwendolyn at any time, and absolutely disgusted her now. "I am very unfortunate in ray friends." "I think you are," replied Lady Gwendolyn, with involuntary stem- less. Lady Teignraouth looked straight at her sister-in-law, flushed slightly, and then assumed a sulky air. "At any rate, Reggie doesn't com- plain," she said ,at lat. "And if he is satisfied no one else has a right to interfere." Lady Gwendolyn sipped her coffee, and was silent, waiting for Clemen- tine to go. But her sisterein-law evi- deiitiy made work to detain her; not, perhaps, relishing the prospect of a tete-a-tete. However, at last she could not find any further excuse for her pretence, 2,nd dismissed her. Nothing loath, Lady Gwendolyn opened her mouth to sneak, then, but Pauline stopped her nervously. "I know you are goleg to say some- thing disagreeable, that will spoil my appetite; and after being up all night, I really require support. Please, thetefore, let Inc finish ray breakfast before you begin." "I'm afraid 1 can't; every moment ,precious," "X warn you fairly, I don't believe you, However, I suppose you must have your own way," returned Lady Teigrenouth. And reaching out her hand for a silver flask that lay on the dressing -table, she poured half its contents into her coffee -cup, and drank it off like one well aceustomed to poteht drafts. Lady Gwendolyn watched her with rising horror and dismay. The other laughed deilently, pretending to be Vastly amused at the effeet the saw o e had created "I thought I should shoCk you," she said; "hut, really, I have 8116 inieerable nerves, I could not get bri Without stinnilailts.

"Possibly; but he did not know whom yen bast come to meet." 'One can't help people following. ; don't suppose you invited Colonel Dacre to Turoy; but he is tbere." "That is quite a different thing. are hot a married woman, ne,item. bave I given Colonel Deere seerte meetings in the wood. I did not come here to aceuse, but to warn •yetz Pauline. You must leave the 11.8P-41- borhood at once, for Mr, Helmont is dead." Lady Teignmouth uttered a felet cry, and put out her band for the 'flask naethanieally; but Lady Gwen- dolya took possession of it, adding resolutely: "You shall not stupefy youree,f for you will want all your veils. An inquest will be held on the body at about two o'clock, and you know best what may come out. I shall be sileni for my poor brother's sake; but others who have not the same motive for shielding you that I have, rea3' have seen something, and be quite willing to give all the information they can. You are safe, so fart as Colonel Deere is concerned-; for, though he knows all, you have man- aged things so cleverly that he think. I am the wrong -doer." Something very like a smile moved Lady Teignmouth's pale lips. EVPP at this supreme moment she cow,' enjoy the triumph of having hood- winked and deceived a man of the world like Colonel Deere. If she had injured her sister-in-iaw at the same time, and destroyed all her hopes in life, what did it matter so long as she herself escaped? it was a principle with Pauline never to trouble herself anout other people's affairs, and to shift her own burdeit off her own shoulders to sonaebody else's whenever she could, "If that is the case, I see no reason . Why I should *disturb myself in any way. The affair is sure to blow over comfortably if we keep quiet; and, of course, you won't say anything, for Reggie's sake." The tranquil egothen of this speech roused.Lady Gwendolyn at last, and she turned upon her angrily. "You are right—it is Reggie, and Reggie only, I censider in this mat- ter. You have spoiled his life, poor fellow! but you shall not drag his honor through the mire if I can help ' "You rave like a tragedy queen," observed Lady Teignrnouth insolent- ly. "Dragging your husband's honor through the mire is only done now on the stage." "1 find, to my sorrow', that it is still possible in real life," topieel Lady Gwendolyn, with a strong effort at self-control. "Because you are romantic, my dear. When once you get married ' you will look at things in a. moi'p matter-of-fact light. Reggie and 1 are tied to each other, but neither us has a mind to make cur chains too heavy. He o es his way, and 1 kr, mine. 1 do , not cell him to at:venni for anything he may have done dur- ing our' separation, and claim a Wit indulgence from him. I should not in the least object to hi a having a little flirtation, if it amused him; anci I don't really believe that he wishes t9 deprive me of a similar distrac- tion." . "And you call that a flirtation?" exclaimed Lady Gwendolyn indig- nantly. "Certainly.

"I see; he was becoming .a nuis- ance, and you decided to .get rid of him by fair means or foul." "What on earth do you 'neap.?
