A gleam of fierce scorn came into Norah's violet eyes, and then flashed out again, leaving them dim as with unshed tears. "Whatever I might have cared for I am not likely to get."

"Read that," he said, rather coldly "You seem so ready to suspect me Gwen, I am glad to be able to giv you proofs that I am not deceivin you."

"But Mrs. O'Hara knew that I had been unjustly suspected, and should have taken care to exonerate rae as quickly as possible!" "She has. only had the letter in her possession for a month, she told me, and did not know of its existence before.

Lady Gwendolyn was so stuaried by what she had seen, that for feel ten minutes she stood in the centre of the room, with the paper in her hand, not as yet realizing the naisfartune that had befallen her, and yet with a dead weight at her heart, and such a sense of bitter loss and desecration, that she telt as If it would be a bler,sed thing to die. Her husband had left her with a kiss, and yet all these months he had been living a lie. And living it boldly, although he must have known that chance „might betray him at any mo- ment. And the' Nemesis which had been dogging his steps all that while had at last tracked itina' home to his shame and her sorrow, How she pitied herself as she thought of her great loss, and pictured the long, lonely future that she must needs peas' without hina. The prospect atmalled her so much that she had almost a mind at the minute to brave the whole world and defy her own conscience rather than be parted from him, whom she loved better than life. And the child, that was coming to aer.
