Erna.; "otherwise I should not have intruded at this thne," . He felt himself quivering at the sound of her mellifluous voice. And then he looked. at nor and saw how beautiful she was, he felt the old fascination creeping over him, He wondered if it Was pos- bible that he had come to win him from his allegiance again. Ile knew that if there Were opportun- ity she could do it. At that moment the blood Was leaping like mad through his Veins. But he would not give her that opportunity. "1 shall be glad to hear whatever you may say," he answered, steadying Ids voice as best he could. Lady Gertrade stood cold anti Silent between them. She saw the color oine and go onhis fate; and he saw what was in trtia's soul by looking in her eyes. "What 1 have to say Shahid be told to you privately," said Erna, in a low tone.

"No, I will not leave the room," an- swered Gertrude, obstinately. It seemed to her that already Erna's influence Was at work. Was he not protecting her? The earl closed his lips angrily and impatiently. • If Erna's story were true, It were better for her, own sake that Gertrude were not present; but if she would remain, so be it - ".As you will," he said, coldly, • and turned to Erna.

I hope you see that, Lord Aubrey. You know what it would have indent had. such a message miscarried." The earl turned toward Gertrude when she stood, cold, silent, but alert.
