On the afternoon the will was
read Frederick Castleton sent up his
card to Helena with the urgent re-
quest, that she would not refuse ban
an interview.
A few moments later she entered
the reception.room. with a hesitating
step. How his heart throbbed as he
gazed at the slender little figure
in black lace that advanced so timid-
ly to greet aim! For a, moment the
beautiful face flushed crimson, then
paled to a. dead white. as she drew
back hesitatingly.
**How she must detest Inc for com-
ing between her and her inherit-
ance?" he thought, with a bitter
sigh.
His face flushed; a great trembling
came over the tall, etalwart figure:
he kne that be could never be con-
ess that beautiful face smiled
him. He would take the
-tune that should have been }lel-
' on. one condition only, and
that was that he might take Helena
with it.
"Won't you come into the conser-
vatory?" he asked, rather confused-
ly. "I have something to -to say
to you."
He fancied that the beautiful per-
fumed blossoms might teach him in
what words to tell her what was in
his heart -of the great, passionate
love that was eating his life away.
Mat was all the money in the world
eoromared. to what the loss of her
love would have been to him? He
