Lady Severe leughed—and I think
that laugh was the most horrible
sound I ever heard in my life.

I looked at ber steadily and calmly.
Gradually the wild eyes felt before
mine. I knew that if I maid assert

I took her bark to her room., end the

promised not to leave her unbappy mis-

"You will have a terrible night,
Mee Chester," said the grins. woman.
"1 shall not mind that, Martha, if
yon have a good one," I answered.
I found Lady Severne inclined to le
waist and talk rationally. There was
gomething of sullen defiance leout her

been Sonia little time with her. I tried
to interest her and to make her for-

et was about four in the morning—
a. lovely June morning, brightwith
putishine, and with dew, fragrant with
the odor of lily and rose. Dertng leer
fits Lady Severna never went to rest

so difficult to manage. She would sit
