behind him in South .A.merica, as I

"You den% 'believe in that fever, Mr.

The hermit of the Retreat laughed -
a laugh that puzzled and provoked the
heiress -and that knowing light in his
dark eyes seemed to deepen.
"You find your cousin. very much

Sybil looked at him itt surprise. He
had begun lightly enough, but he had
grown strangely earnest ere he ceased.
The handsome, bronzed face, too, was a
shade paler than its wont.
"You epen] or Cosoriel Trevanion
very earnestly," she said, "and yet -I
beg your pardon -but I fancied there
was as bitter hate between you two."
Once more the author slightly laughed.
"My dear Miss Trevanion how very
subtle your instincts are, or else -how
stupidly our Wee must show our feel-
ings. We hate each other, we could
blow each other's brains out with all
the pleasure in life; but we don't make
scenes iia these latter days. We meet
and we bow, and the conventional smiles
and small -talk are in full play; and if

constrainedly, Cyril Trevanion had been
her hero once her cousin always; he
bore the grand' old name, the same blood
rate in hie veins, And now the merest
mention of him rand° her wince.
"Gwendoline was here to -day -poor,
dear Gwen! Mrs. Ingram, will be her

Chudleigh Chase last night. You met
Mrs. Ingram, aud you like her of
course?"
"I don't perceive the 'of course.' Yes,
I met Mrs. Ingrain (she chose rather an
aristocratic cognomen this time), and I
recognized a woman I knew fifteen years
age
"Then her name is not Ingrain, and
she is an adventuress!" Sybil cried. "1
thought so! I thought sot I never be-
lieved in her from the first."
"Yes, Miss Trevanion, she is an ad-
venturess, one who should never sleep
under...the same roof or eat at the same
table with you. A bad, bold, women, a.
dangerous woman, an unscrupulous win
man aod it deadly foe. Your mother
brought bei' berea-where did her lady -
ladyship find her?"
"In Scotland, at Strathbane castle, she
WAS corapanion to the duchess; and When
her grace died she cause to mamma.
It Was at Beelet or Homburg --some one
of the German Bads -that the duchess
met heir first."
"A most likely place. Now, Mies Tre-
vaxdon, if you will not think me imper-
tinently iruuisitive. 1 should like to
hear al 'the story of Csenerid Trevanion's
myeterionts disappearance. 1 heard your
mother once hint that, in some way, you
blamed Mrs. Ingram. Up tto tne present
I have heard but a very garbled accotueb
of that disappearance. I was absent
from Speckhaven at the time it occurred.
If Mrs. Ingram had any motive in mak-
ing away with the general, Mrs, 1ugram
would no more hesitateever the deed
than would Lucretia Borgia. Will you
tell me the story of that night?" -
"Most willingly. But, Mr. Macgregor,
really you are enough to make one's
'blood. run cold. Surely Mrs. Ingram
can not be the fiendees you paint her.
And. then there was no motive -there
ceuld be none. And, besides- Olii Mr.
Macgregor, it is the darkest and most
impenetrable of mysteries. How could
she, one weak woman, make away with
General Trevanion? if the earth had
opened and. swanowed him, he could not
lutve vanished more completely."
"I -should like to examine the room in
which be lay -the 'Adam and Eve was it
not? I will examine the room. And
Mrs. Ingram was adobe with your patient
all that night?"
"By no means. Mrs. Telfer was in the

so soundly that -heaven forgive me! --1
I have sometimes faneied they may have
