"I do not mind that," she murmured.
"And what is worse," he continued,
"it would draw down reproach upon

not -understand how he loved you. They
would insult him even more now he is

The dark shades of night had covered
the trees and flowers when Inez rose
front her long stupor of grief and found
her way home. She was as one dazed
with sorrow; she could neither see nor

dreary, monotonous life that would have

rose. In the wardrobe that had belong-
ed to her young friother she found it
black dress, Caring nothing for the re-
marks; that would be made, she put it
on, and went to madame's room,
"I am better this morning, granemeen-
ma," she said, "and am eome to read
to you."
Madame Monteleone gazed et her with
something like alerre, Wliat bad taken
the color from that beautiful face, the
light from her dark eyee, the mini°
from her voice? Could that pale, sad,
drooping girl, in the heavy mourning
dress, be the bright, radiaut and, whom
no one had been able to, uanage or gov-
ern.
"You have been''very, ill, Inez," site said
gently; "and, my dear child, why have

"Let me wear it," said Inez; "it suite

Anything but black again."
"Thet',s a very strange fancy for a
young girl," said madame, inwerdly re-
solving that, as soon Le Inez looked bet-
ter and stronger, she would force tier
to put away the gloomy robe,
it was four days before Inez summon-
ed courage again to visit tbe -"trysting•

to say good -by to a spot wit -ere she had
been so happy. Only once Leone and then
she would never see that part of the
grounds again. She had ceased, to care
about the world she had so passionately
longed for. lf all Seville were to pass
along the high -road, all the gay nobles'
and fair ladies, she would. not wish to
see them.
She was still half child, half woman;
and, with trembling steps, she sought
the . scene of her former bappiness.
Evtn when sbe eame again to the spot
where she had. seen Rinsed° for the first
and last time, no tears mune to soften

Her heart gave one great leap, What
was it? Who had placed. it there? She
raised it and held it unopened for a
few minutes in her hand. An instinctive
dread of coming sorrow bad seized her,
,Slowly unfolding it, she saw that it was
in her husband's writing, and eddressed
to Luigi Camelia.
Neyer was statue more white and
still than that hapless girl as she read
every word of that fatal, cowardly let -
tor, Every letter thorned to .burn itself
into her brain as she read, Then she
sat as one in a hideous dream.
"I will wait here until he comes," she
said. "I will coufront him with it, and
know the truth at last,"
There was no tremor on that proud,
pale face. She sat as erect and as
haughty as it queen, awaiting the ap-
proaoh of the man who had helped to be-
tray her. He came at lest, and with a
courteous bow and kindly words, Luigi
attempted to take her hand. She with-
drew it proudly, and a look of fear came
into his face as, he observed her haughty
gesture,

"I was," he replied.

she asked,

Without it tremor or breek in her

CHAPTER XXII
It was fortunate for Inez that events
sueeeedea each other with such rapid-
ity that the had no time for brooding
over her oorrow. The Jove that she had
felt for her husband WAS Changed to a.
loathing., and gradually gave place to a
bitter hatred. Her youth, her happiness,
her life itself, seemed dead. She did not
know how she dragged on her dreary
existence from day to day. But a change
was coming, heralded by death. .
.One morning Madame Monteleone was
seized with a sudden and dangerous ill-
ness. The doctor was constantly at-
tended her was sent for, and he pro-
nouttced her to be in great and immedi-
ate danger, and advised her attendants
to send for a celebrated physician who
resided at Seville.
Doctors and medicine were all in vain,
Madame Monteleone had come to the
close of her long, sorrowful life. When
she hear4 that she was indeed dying,
she sent for her grandchild, and spoke
to her es sles had never done before,
She told her how she had hived but
for one object -the restoration of her
family; how she had trained her
fair yoong daughter Bianca for that end,
and hon' all her hopes had been wrecked
by her child's marriage with the English
lord,
"Then, Inez,"contitued the dying wo-
man, "my hopes were centred in you.
Perhaps, child, I have wronged you and
sacrificed you to my own ambitious
views. 1 begged you from your father
with such words of entreaty that he
could eta refuse my prayer, and I have
brought you up as I did your Mother be-
fore you, but with this difference: front
her eerliest infancy I spoke to her of
my hopes and plans, I have never men-
tioned them to you. But for my acci-
dent last year, I should this year have
taken you to Madrid. I arn dying how,
and Hie purpose of my life is unfulfilled

She then tom the astonished girl that
her father was a wealthy English moble -

"And 1 shell have to leave Spain,"

The History of Niagara,,
Dr. J. W. Spencer, who hes made it
specialty of the study of the geological
history of the Niagara, gorge and falls,
believes that about 3,500 years ago the
drainage of Lake Huron was turned irtto
Lake Erie, thus vastly increasing tee
eroding power of Niagaro. It had takee
35,500 years for the gorge to ettt back
from Lake Ontario to the point where
the fries were situated when the Huron
discharge WAS added. Five hundred
years after that the falls Mulled the
Whirlpool. Between 2,000 and 2,500
years ago they were paseing "the site of
the Whirlpool Rapids. The rapids them-
selves were completed less than 300
years ago.
