CHAPTER CIII.-4Continuedr.
New her mother rejoiced that the had
done so. evince the bad done so much bet-
ter for herself. Lady Glnucourt had not
licritated to tell the world that her daugh-
ter had refused Sir Herbert Graham; eche
did' Hut 1us:tate to tell Mr. Danvers, the
same thing.
Tet. for all :hat, the week her lover had
accepted to stay at Glaycroft, glided into
three weeks, nearly a month. and it was
net a time cif unalloyed halipinees. There
were moments when it seemed to Judith
that sae could not go on. It was wonder-
ful that at every tueu tome little phraee,
some Iittle incident brought Lack that
event to her mind, and seemed to paralyze
her energy to go on, while there were
memento when even her lover became
«ware that there was a veil of rteerve
between him and her which would have
to be torsi clown if they were to be really
happy a- he hoped they would be, for,
notwith,tancting, that he had knceked
about the world. he had preserved some-
thing idyllic and old-fashioned in hie
idea, of married life:, with which her
beauty wee more in keeping than her
neinner. Once when they had been in
the garden in the evening. by moonlight,
he had stood suddenly etlri and said:
"1 sometimes wonder, Judith, whether
yen really care for me as much as you
will ever care for anyone. I want you to
be eincere with me. Did you . . . did you
care for Gresham?"
Her heart stood still. Hltd she cared for
Greeltam"r It seemed to her that she had
eared ISO much, that she had forgotten
that it wee caring. It bad simply seem-
ed part of her life, a state, not a mood;
and, because she wanted to speak the
truth when ehe could. not to lay up future
reproach in little heaps all around her,
but to have only one dunghill of trouble
stored away in tbe backyard of her life,
ehe told what she believed to be the truth,
what was the truth as a matter of fact.
"I think I eared for him very much, at
one time -hut -but wben he propeeed to
me, I mean -I felt that I could never
marry him -never.".
"And you don't feel the eame about
me?"
It is wonderful hew people can torture
tie when they don't know what is in our
mind.
"No, dear, I want to marry you very
ranch." She laid her hand upon his arm
very softly.
This at Ieast wait true, and his content
returned.
And there were timee when notwith-
standing the tacit reserve between mo-
ther and daughter, both were given over
to a gnawing anxiety neither would have
acknowledged, the anxiety as to whether,
at the last moment he should hear.
Both the women wmhed that the wed-
ding could have taken place et once, hur,
riedly, in the night even, before he left
Glayeourt, before he could see anyone,
speak to anyone. Instead, he spoke of
going home for a week. to tell his people,
of ,running to Paris for a fortnight to try
and get a couple of montba' leave for the
honeymoon, and when he spoke of doing
that, the hearts of both women seemed to
die within them. If he went, would he
ever return? Both were aware that they
were living on the edge of' a volcano.
And often on those hot nights, Judith,
unable to sleep, would get up from the
bed, and go and kneel by the window, the
inward need for' spaces or aix around her
thoughts inspiring the physical steed for
cool breezes. And holding her head in
her two hands, she would ask herself.
what was going to happen -what was go-
ing to batmen, for it 'seemed to her as if
all this could not go on, as of something,
must happen, as if, if the bolt did not
come from the blue, then it would comae
beoauee she would go mad and tela hien
herself.

nees of a bright day, her eerenity would

beauty in the glees bring calm, and a re-
turn of that strange philosophy which
had taken the place of religion in her
soul.
Atter all, what more could he want than
her beauty, her grace, her. position? She
had not appealed to him to marry her,
she was net marrying him for hies money,
why. what snan was worthy of more than
•he had to give? She sufficed. She euf-
fteed.
And the days; glided by, the inward de-
vastating feverishness hidden by a hun-
dred occupations of pleasure, ride
through cool gladee in the cool of the af-
terncon, dripping eweetness from the
hedgerowe, teuf teufe in his automobile,
drives. garden parties at the houses of
country neighbors, flower thews, a fete
ehampetre in her own home, all the things
that had seemed wearisome other years,
and which had often made her persuade
her mother to go to Homburg, eagerly
Fought now becau..e they helped to cheat
time, prevented tete-a-tetes with her
Rance. Congra.tulatione every day, and
all day preeents pouring in, preparations
for the trou,.;eeau. talks with her father
about their plane, cltelve of the brides-
maide, and the bridesmaids' presents and
gifts, daily gifts from him lettere to
write, all the pieaeant toil which aecom-
paniee the linking of two lives together,
even inhumble spheres, but "which, where
the linking is that of two members of
the aristocracy of 0 eountry, and accom-
panied by wealth, ri_ee to the importance
of an historie event almost, like confer-
ring the freedom of a city, or the signing
of a charter.
And underneath it all, like some devour-
ing monster creeping beneath the long
grace, and making an almost impercept-
ible, though ominous sound, denoting its
presence, the feeling as if, while she
built up air edifice of strength, with cor-
nices and turrets, ramparts, and terraoee
of delight, eeomething within was erumb-
ling away which had been its mainstay,
and that soon the. proud ]leaven-ehalleng-
ing steeples would totter to the ground.
And there were several, if not many,
who made inward comments as they read
the announcement of the engagement,
and little snipe of detail obtained from
the servants iby society papers, evidencing
that preparations were to be on a large
scale, and aclvaneing rapidly,
"The Lase which will be worn by Lady
Judith Roach on her wedding gown -has
been trade in :Ireland." , -
"Tho bridegroom has presented hie fu-
ture bride with the famous Olorion ruby,
which it was said Agnes Sorel eent to the
Duke of Bedford ae a 'bribe to induce him

cites over Charles the Seventh, and whiekh
was the , ubject of a famous lawsuit be-
tween 'the Due de •Neveuilie and the Earl

"The Earl of.IGroleigh has given bis ne-
phew the beautiful oastle of Ohililaehie

And as these items brought her name be-

an end of Hugh,
And presentlthe end came so swiftly,
so unerringly, pointing He rapier at t'hc

Judith that she could feel the point, of
the blade of fate entering her soul.
It war the end of August now, and Dan-
vers, while loth to leave hie lady love, im-
pressed upon her that the crooner he went
the sooner he would return. He noted her
ghastly pallor, when he told her that the
day after to -morrow he Must go home, if
only for a few days, and put it down to
the fact that she really eared for him.
"Why can't we just be married here
quietly in the village churcb, and go back
to your work in Paris without any fuse'!"
She knew, while she welted the question,
that it eould not be, that the fact of her
urging this would be counted against her
in the future, that terrible future 'which
she knew, as if she had seen the moving
finger write it, was holding something in
store for her, something which she would
not have the courage to face or to bear,
but which she felt instinctively would not,
be out of proportion with her ill -luck, and
with the justice of fate, whieh we ac-
knowledge when we commune with our
soul, even when we have made an arrange-
ment with that eoul to inveigh against
her.

Lady Crlancourt could not believe her

dow, and from her bed, her mother could
see the tears falling, those big swollen
tears whieh hurt ea, 'which eome tragical-
ly elowly, as if they are distilled from
very pain.

My dear, you ought to be very thank-

that could have battened. And you
mustn't cry --think of your eyes."
Ever same Judith had been a baby the
had eaid "think of your eyes" every time

But Judith was not thinking of her
eyes. She seemed to see that little path-
etic, lonely form, stretched out, the form

Jrad held dor one brief moment in her

When Judith went down to breakfast,
the relief •wbicah had succeeded the one
moment of feeling, had brought some-
thing more natural and. leve constrained
into iter manner than there had 'been
since her engagement, and Danvers told

pretended that she waen't, and that the
ebynese was beginning to wear off.

in the supreme unconsciousness of the
fact that a grandchild of hie had lived
and died. Lord •Glaucourt was in the beet
of spirits this morning.
He had heard from phis son that he would
be with them the next ' night. They had
I,•ni.ed to get him before, but he had been
staying with some friends, with tine 'fam-
ily of a charming girl, as a matter of
fact, whom he wanted to marry princip-
ally because 'she was different from hie,
mother and easter. He didn't think he
was likely to be taken 'with Danvers. He
hadn't mutat faith in what his sister gall-
ed "a charming man." But his father
had insisted that he should come, and
make his acgnaintance 'before he left

did he dare? That ware the ctuce>tion which
it eeemed to her she had asked aloud,

dominated. Why had he come?
She saw her brother• so rarely, that the
did not know that they were acquainted.
Ao a matter of fact, till that week, they
had hardly known each other. Hugh
Glover had been invited by the people
where Juditix s brotber woe staying, and
the young moo, the eon of the house, a
brother officer of hie, had told him son's
of Glovers troubles, calling them a
"beastly shame" and young Lord Frewley
had invited Itim to spend Saturday till
Monday zit Glaycroft, with absolutely no
idea of the tragic character of the ac-
quaintance concealed under Glovera un-

"I think I've met your 510100."
