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. Sometimes the felt tae if tyle mw scream out. end then in the morning, with the glad- nees of a bright day, her eerenity would be xeetored her, and the eight of her own. 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 to leave Paris, at the time of her ascend - cites over Charles the Seventh, and whiekh was the , ubject of a famous lawsuit be- tween 'the Due de •Neveuilie and the Earl of ,Croleigh• in 1647."

Lorraine merely said: "Poor Hugh." Yes, it certainly seemed ae if there was an end of Hugh, And presentlthe end came so swiftly, so unerringly, pointing He rapier at t'hc very heart of thinge, that it seemed to 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.

Ever same Judith had been a baby the had eaid "think of your eyes" every time the cried. at had not been often. But Judith was not thinking of her eyes.

Had they been kind to it? And now, did it know, did it know?" 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 himse.]f that the was shy, although she pretended that she waen't, and that the ebynese was beginning to wear off. Breakfaet rpaseed off with more than ne- ua1 gaiety. and Judith seemed as uncon- cerned as her another was or her father, 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 them on Sunday, so be 'was going to run down for the shortest time possible.

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- campronlie911rg statement: "I think I've met your 510100."
