ing stirring—her interest in the vital
question of Tremaine's reputation.
She stood quite calmly, seeming to
have very wonderfully regained her
composure.
"Don't tell me," she said in a low
tone. "I don't want to hear."
Julia did not move. She looked up
at Isobel. The guests in the dining -
room were moving. They had risen,
still talking, and the clink of glasses
mingled with their voices. Brandegee
bad poured out a last glass of port;
they were drinking a toast --both Is-
obel and Julia heard it, in Brande-
gee's voice: "John Tremaine!" They
were to urge him to take the nomin-

Julia rose quickly; she stood by Iso-
bel's side.
"It's terrible, but it's past—seven-
teen years ago., In a moment of
weakness—I don't know why — we
none of us know why—no one has
ever spoken of it—Jobn appropriated
funds that were not his own."
Isobel drew back from her, the
color flashing into her cheeks; her
clear eyes darkened.
"You mean to tell me," she said,
"that John Tremaine is a thief?"
Julia contracted her brows. "He

to tell you," she went on, with every
word finding .speech more difficult, no
longer very clear in her mind or in
her sentences, knowing only that she
must finish—that she would give
worlds to have unsaid her words, but
that she must finish, "I want to tell
you that I care for him—absolutely!
That it is nothing to me what be bas
done—nothing! That I will stand by

Isobel seemed not to hear the last
passionate. disturbed confession. She
was laughing—laughing at Julia in
derision. Then there came into her
face a new ligbt—a light of hope and
joy—for it bad occurred to ber that
this was the explanation of his strange
demeanor toward her and that, after
all, he eRred for her.
At that moment Brandegee with
the other men came in from the din-
ing -room. Isobel laughed again and
said to Julia- "Surely you don't ex-
pect rne to believe that! You can't
believe it yourself, do you? Nobody
could believe it."
"Before the beautiful simplicity of
the girl's nature, Julia see-med to
herself a miserable thing. Isobel
seemed so shining. ,she rnur-
mured-
"Forget what I have qaid."
But Isobel, turning to Mr. BrRnde-
geq, who was coming tA)-vrRrd her,
said over her shoulder triumphantly:
"I never beard anv,thing so ridicu-
loual" .

question of Tremaine's reputation.
She stood quite calmly, seeming to
have very wonderfully regained her
composure.
"Don't tell me," she said in a low
tone. "I don't want to hear."
Julia did not move. She looked up
at Isobel. The guests in the dining -
room were moving. They had risen,
still talking, and the clink of glasses

Isobel drew back from her, the
color flashing into her cheeks; her
clear eyes darkened.
"You mean to tell me," she said,

At that moment Brandegee with

said to Julia- "Surely you don't ex-
