St. John Lisle was within'a few miles. She might possibly meet him in her rambles or her drives with her uncle, and how should she feel if they stood face to face ? Her heart answered, "Slightly curious, but quite unmoved." Yet, to her infinite satisfaction, she telt a profound conviction that Lisle eould never again stir in her emotion of any kind. She might even be amused with his cool, crisp talk, if he deigned to bestow any of it on her; she had even fcfrgiven herself her weak credulity, and could smile at her youthful folly in ac eepting Lisle's veiled attentions and ar- dent though indefinite expressions of ad- miration, as meaning anything real. It was all so completely past—though little xaore than three years had elapsed since they had met and parted—that she felt as if she could meet exactly as though ethey had never met before. The man sese had loved so shyly and warmly had vaaished, with the actual St. John Lisle she was barely acquainted. Then tlae scenes which preceded Mrs. NeWburgh's death arrayed themselves diatinetly before her.
