"May I come in, Izetta, please?
Yes," answered hate, and sh
was startled at the hoattemees an.
hollowness of her own voice.

room to where she sat; the vete
room seemed brighter for her pros -
'You are better this morning, are
you not, Izetta'? I had 'hardly ex -
prated to find you up and dressed so
early."
Loraine drew back with a startled
cry at the white, haggard face
'raised up to beer own.
Izetta did not tell her she had no:
laid her weary head upon the pillow
all the long nig' let through.
"I was frightened about you last
night; but I am still more *frightened
about you this morniug. All the bloom
has left your face; you look like at

pected frost. If you have a seerei
sorrow, Tzetta, tell rue, could 1 light-

A sudden impulse seized Izetta to
anburden the terrible secret to Lo-
raine, but it was instantly abandon-
ed. She could not bear that the fair
face of the only being who had been
kind and gentle toward her should
turn from her in horror and amaze-
ment at the accusations she would
bring against her husband's honor.,
"No, no, not yet," Izetta told her-
self; "she must tleink first what
would be best."
sudden thotight occurred to her:
she would speak to Loraine about
her husband's hair; the suspense of
•the terrible mystery was kidixig her.
"Did you tell me, 311.s. Ulvesford,
your husband painted that portrait?"
asked Izetta, pointing toward theeta-
ble on which it lay.
"Yes," answered Laraine, always
pleased to omit of her husband. "He
painted it while he was abroad 'in It-
aly, I believe, and quite from mem-
ory, too."
There was nu mistaking the face;
any one could. see Loraine was cer-

"Hew strange it seems, Mrs. 'Caves -
