The marriage had been solemnized, at the Church of St. atoda 1 "I canuot aceept this as evidence," said Huldah, presently. "And I will never belieye what you, say until I hear it from his own lips." "Send for him," laughed the stranger, "and see what he will say."

And then rihesraug the bell. "Send Gregory to .me, Susanne," she ordered, calmly. No trace, no sign dirt she allow to appear of what she felt. When Greg- ory entered, she said: "Drive as quickly as you can, Gregory, to the church at Silverton. You will find Lord Wynton there; tell him to come to me with all haste." Lewis turned to her mistress. "You will dress now, miss," she said, "This person can be shown into another room."

Tak- ing up a book, she tutted to the nurse, and said: "I will wait here, Lewis, un- til Lord Wynton comes." Never once did her eyes stray from the book to the stranger. The letter appeared somewhat disconcerted by Iltddah's calm, lofty manner. "I will remain here, too," she said. "As I have to confaont my husband, I will remain on the spot." Half an hour passed, and the strange er looked up with a weary sigh. "He is long in liming," she said. Miss Asheton did not notice her re- mark. An hour elapsed.

An awful pallor overspread his face*. The stranger looked up at him. "Good - morning, Lord Lynton. You did. not ex - /met to see me here." An expression, of horror., paseed over his face; his white lips ,opened, then closed, and the sound die dd away on them. "You!" he gasped.' "You! I thought -I believed you were—" She interrupted him. The glittering smile had died from her face; , in its place appeared a malignant frown. "Never nund what you thou,ght. This is my revenge. I have waited for itl I have sehemed for it!
