But he could not do it. Her clear eyes read him through and through. A sense of savage anger rose with- in him, that she should have been subjected to such an ordeal ; that her pure, strong, childish nature' should have been thus roughly rous- ed to a knowledge better left un- learned. It was a thoroughly un- fortunate affair altogether, but there was at least a. little graia of com- fort to him in the thought, that it she was to witness swill a disgrace- ful thing, he should have been her companion. "Yes, I saw all," he said, in -vol- untarily making answer to the un- spoken question in her frightened eyes. "Oh, it is horrible 1" said Con- s tanti a vit1i a violent shudder. "Oh 1 how can it be true ? And Lady Varley------" "Come and sit down here," said Stronge, drawing her towards a gar- den chair. He could see that she was trembling. ''And do not think so much of it.

Quite so," responded lie, with a half -veiled sneer, and a glance at Stronge, who Was not heeding him, but was rather regard- ing 'Mrs, Dimdas with an amazed scrutiny. Had the woman no Con- scienee—no heart ? Here she was laughing, glowing, in all the insol- ence of her beauty, unmindful of that late scene in the garden that had crushed Constantia. She Was making herself adorable to half a dozen admirers ; notably to Coronis. She had even condescended to go farther afield, and had drawn young McGillicuddy into her net. 'The boy was leaning, over her, in an at- titude of exaggerated devotion. Barry,. however,' held aloof from the .siren of the hour. Hisnaanner did not exactly convey theideathat he was against her, but he certainly was not on her side. Constantia noted this, and was in a manner glad of it, though an instant later even this comfort 'forsook her Barry, seeing her, turned upon. her a. scowling brow, and a glance full of concentrated wrath and reproach. the other coolly.
