Macgregor smiled at this liespetuous

And here words failed this youthful
enthusiast, in love for the first time;
but she lifted one of Maegregor's brown
hands and kissed it pessionately, with
defiant tears standiN in the stormy
blue eyes.
And again Macgregor laughed.

And then, of course, Mr. Maegregor
emphasized his declaration by an ardent
embrace.

He strolled out. The night had. shnt
down blank and starless; but that blood -
red ino-on ,which lighted the widow and
her companion ou their ghastly mend,
gleamed fieree and wrathful still through
the inky pall. The surging of the gaits
in the park was something tremendous,
and one or two big drops, precursees of
the tempe,st at hand, fell heavily ea he
opened the wicket and 'muted, out.
He turned into the Prior's Walk- as
usual, The darkness eef Erebus reigned;
the trees writhed and groaned in travail
about him; the night and storm, down
there in the woodland, were sublime, He
walked on, faecinated by the terrible
grandeur of the convulsed elements, un-
til, as he neared the Priory, he stopped.
For there, along the deserted rooms, he
oaught the swift glancing- of a light.
A light at midnight in the haunted
Priory. What did it mean? Thesid the
dead Dominicans arisen from their
graves to chant matins as of yore? Was
It the ghostly prior going his unearthly

something worse, exploring the old man-
or at We unchristian hour?
see, by George!" eried Macgregor,
striding through the wet grass. "'Be he
living or be he dead,' as the children say
in the nursery legend, I'll ascertain what
he's doing here."
He followed the direction of the light
and, reached the open window. His first
impulse was to enter and follow; but,
ere he could act upon it, he saw the
light returning, and heard the rapid
tread of footeteps approaching He drew
back into the shadow of a projecting
buttress and waited. A. figure emerged --
then another -then the first turned to
Close the window. Macgregor plunged
forward; in that moment the man turn-
ed from the wiudow with n cry of alarm,
and leaped away into the darkness.
The second essayed to follow, but the
muscular grip of her captor held her
powerless.
"Come with me," Macgregor said,
coolly, "and let me see who you are."
"Let me go!" a passionate voice, shrill
and. piercing, crieds; "let me go!" strug-
gling frantically; "let me go! let me go."
"A womae, by all that's astounding!
Whew!" Macgregor's shrill whistle dut
the air like a knife; "and. I ought to
know that voice. wager a guinea
We Mrs. Ingram."
"Let me go!" shrieked Mrs. Ingram,
still struggling madly; "let me go, I
tell you! I have done nothing wrong."
"That remains to be seen. Pll let you
go presently, when I've had a little talk
with you. Calm yourself, Madame In-
gram -cease your struggles; I won't let
you go until I find out whet has
brought you all the way from Chud-
leigh Chase in the 'dead waste sad mid-
dle of the night.' Keep kill -do! arid
come this way."
She ceased her struggles all at once.
She knew who was her captor, and tet
him lead her, sullenly. Fate was agdinst
her, and the charming little widew was
a fatalist, Kismet! It was written.
She followed him down the Peior's
Walk and into the house, e.truggliag 110
1110re.
The big drape, falling swiftly t ed
more swiftly from the first, drenehed
theist thoroughly before they revelled
the Retreat. The forked lightning leap-
ed across the sky; the thunder crashed
deafeningly over their heads; the wind.
howled; the rain fell in torrents. The
"elemental uproar" was in full blast.
Mrs. Ingram, afraid, of nothing else in
the heavens above, or the earth be-
neath, was mortally afraid of lightning.
She gave a litle gasp of horror, as the
red forks of flame shot along the black
sky lighting up with its lurid glare the
dismal woods.
She clung involuntarily to the arm of
Macgregor, losing all dread of hint in
her greater dread of the storm.
"You remind me of a certain conun-
drum, lire. Ingram," Macgregor said,
grimly, "What is conscience? 'Something
a guilty man feels every time it light-
ens.' Conscience makes cowards of all,
I dare say you have good reason to be
afraid. Does poor Joe Dawson's dead
face. ever rise out of the red glare to
confront you?"
He could feel her shuddering through
all her frame as he hurried her into the
house. 14'br the first time Mrs. Ingram
stood within the Retreat, and the lamp
light, falling upon her, showed her wet,
bedraggled, ghastly, white -rouge, and
pearl -powder, and belladonna and moire,
and jewels gone -a piteous object in-
deed.
Macgregor stood arid looked at her -
a shine On his faee. She tried to re-
turn that look with her old effrontery;
but she was not herself to -night. The
ghastly ordeal she had gote through, the
ghastly sight she had seen, the intense
fear she had of the lambent lightning,
all conspired to unuerve her.
She towered before this man itt abject
terror, and her teeth shattered audibly
in her head.
He crossed over, leaned hie arm on
the mentel, and stood looking down on
her, as a royal stag might look on a
trembling kitten. She tried to meet
thot•ie stern, triumphant, mereilese eyes,
but her own fell in pitiable dread.
"Spare me!" she murmured, involun-
tarily, "Oh, Mr. 'Maegregor! I have done,
nothing wrong."
"No? Then, what brought .you and Cy -
111 Trevenion to Monkawood at this un-
holy hour M night? To find the lost
Will, Was it. notie"
'The clever shaft, shot at random,
sped home. She looked •itt him with

"Miss Trevanion was right, then, from
the first. Von did know the where-

Did you murder him. Mts. Dawson, as

She nutele to reply. Her •chattering

"It is faise, Angus Macgregor!" the
little widow screamed, in shrill affright.

"I don't believe it! 1 -won't believe

ed. "It is a foul and baseless liel

change coining over his face and voice.

CHAPTER XXVII,
Mrs. Ingram sat by her chamber win-
dow, gazing out at that pleasant per-
spective of cool beechwood where the red
deer trooped -velvet glades, marble ter-
races, rose -wreathed, and sunlit lawn. A
cloudless morning of sunshine and eoft
sea, breezes had followed that wild
temptest of rain and lightning, and the
widow's face looked terribly haggard
and worn and chalky in its pitiless
brightness.
The turret clock wasstolling nine as
the widow sat there alone, gazing out
upon that fair landscape, with a hot
mist over the dark eyes, in which all
things really swam. The house was very
still; the servants were busy in their,
own dot)lain, and Gwendoline had not
yet arisen, Very early that morning
the widow had returned to Chudleigh
Chase, and had flitted in and up to
her apartment unobserved. Wearied
out, she sunk down by the window, and
though the hours had gone, she had nev-
er stirred since.
The worst had come -the worst that
could possibly happen. Cyril Trevanion
was alive and here! She had known
him from the moment he spoke -she
only wondered now how she could have
been so utterly blind as not to know
him from the first. He was here to
claim his own, to triumph over her, to
crush her beneath his heel. The mercy
she had shown to him, to her dead hus-
band, to her living son, to his father,
he would show her; he had told her so,
with a face stern and set as doom. All
her fair prospects, so near their fruition,
melted away in thin air; nothing re-
mained but imprisonment or transporta-
tion for life. Yes, One chance remained
one terrible alternative, No one knew
as yet -no one would know until Sir
Rupert's return on the morrowlie
had said so. What if he were to die
to -night?
Her ghastly face turned dark red as
the devilish thought flashed through
her mind. It was one chance -the only
one. She would never be suepected;
all might still go well. She might mar-
ry the man the world as yet thought
General Trevanion's son; she might
leave England, and reign like a. princess
abroad. She might triumph over the
woman she hated; the victory be hers,
after an. And if the worst eame--why,
she could hardly be worse off, caught
"red-handed," than she was now.
She got up and paced the floor, her
black brows bent over her gleaming
eyes, her lips set in a, steely line. Once
She thought of her lover; he might rid
her of their enemy,. if he had. but half
the spirit of a man. But Itc had not,
and she scouted the idea at once.
The busy brain worked. In half an
hour her rapid plan was fornted. She
sat down and scrawled a line to Miss
Chudleigh.
"Dear Owendoline,-Last evening's
mail brought me a letter froni a friend
in London, telling4me she was danger-
ously ill. I leave by the 11.50 train,
and will probably be absent a week. Be
kind enough to inform your papa when
he returns, and Colonel Trevanion,
should he call. Attend to your studies,
and 'believe me,
"Affectionately yours,
"Edith Ingram."
She left the house, giving this note
to Mise Ohudieigh's maid; and so well
had the cosmetiques done their work
that the girl saw nothing- unusual in the
widow's look or tone, She was very
simply dressed in a travelling suit of
dark grey, soft and. noiseless of texture,
and with a, thick mass of Meek lace in
her pocket, ready for use. And thrust
into the bosam of her dress was a load-
ed pistol -a, silver -mounted little toy,
that yenrs ago had been the property of
Captain Hawksley.
Mrs. Ingram did leave Speck:haven by
the 11.50 train -but only to alight at
the first station time miles off.
Here she donned the black lace mask,
and •very slowly made her way back to
town, So slowly did she walk that the
afternoon sun was setting ass she glided

DEVOUT MECCA PILGRIMS.
We stopped our special train yesteraaY
for an hour or two in the very tamale
of native Arestea, and went for a morning
walk. There were troops of natives on
donkeys from the villages around coining
for water to the wells, which they them-
eelves dig,and we talked to some delight-
ful native boy. about their lives.
One boy, standing by the weal, to my
surmise, was on Ills way to Mecca, 114V-
1ng travelled already 2,000 or 3,000 miles,
which had taken two or threo years. Ws
father had died on the way, and whets I
asked him how he would manage ne
said quietly, "God will provide," and it
never entered his mind to ask me for
anything.
Five minutes afterward we came across
three women -an old woman and two
daughters. The eldeat daughter was
five and twenty. They were corning
back from Mecca, but they had startea
off, she said, when she was a little gala
about twelve. -Bishop of London in tho
