added, in an ipatient tone.
Again he was mute.
She snatched her, hand away front,
him, and turned her face to the wall
once more,
I understand you, Colonel Dacre.
You have a secret and one you would
be ashamed to tell me."
"Is that a necessary inference?"
he inquired, in a low, constrained
voice.
"I think so."
"Perhaps you are too prejudiced to
be just."
"I don't know why I should be.
You and I were always good friends,
in the social sense of the term. For
instance, ' you always asked me for
two or three dances when we met at
a ball, and .sometimes you even took
me down to supper. l have even
known you to shelter me from the
sun by holding my parasol at a par -
den -party; and once you so far sacri-
ficed yourself as to play croquet at
my desire,,. After that I never allow-
ed myself to doubt your devotion, I:
assure you; and I en surprised you
should think 1 could be prejudiced
against you."
"Can you never be serious?" he
said painfully
"I am serious now."
"I should be sorry to think so."
"Why? '1 have not said anything
bad, have I?"
"No; but if your seriousness is so
touch like jest, . how is one ever to
know which you mean it to be?"
"You must wait for circumstances
to enlighteu you."
"How long?"
"That depends upon circum-
stances."
You are very enigmatical, Lady
Gwendolyn, and, as I said before, I
am no CEdipus"
"Then you give me up?" she said.
laughing,
"As a riddle, yes. There never was
a man yet who could fathom a wo-
man, from Adam downward."
"It was never Intended that ybu
should, evidently,
o • z Eve would not
have b
en allowed to set such a pre-
cedent. Weakness is often obliged
to seem like duplicity in self-de-
fence."
"Do you call yourself weak? Phy-
sical
hysieal strength is not the greatest,
after all, . or Una would never have
tamed the lion."
"If you laps into allegory, 1 am
undone," she said gaily. "I am no
'scholar,'' as the poor people say.
What little my governesses managed
to teach inc I have forgotten long
ago."
"And yet, I heard you translate a
Latin epigram very creditably the,
other day."
"Nonsenses Colonel Dacre. Your
ears deceived you. I should have
been so exhausted mentally by the
effort that I should not have been
able to frame an intelligible sentence
for at least a year afterward, and you
see I am quite rational to -day."
He rose with an impatient, weary
air. ` It seemed as if she were such
an incorrigible trifler, and had so
thoroughly accustomed herself to
look on the ridiculous side of every-
thing, that now she could not be
serious even if she wished.
And yet she was so lovely; and
what better excuse did
a man ever
need for such folly?
'12 to her share a thousand errors fall,
Look in her face and you forget them,
all.'
tihe colonel muttered to himself,
rather grimly, as he furtively ex-
amined
xamined the delicate profile which was
just •sufficiently out of the straight
Greek line to give it more piquancy
witho 1t losing the grace of the

Thoughshe was somewhat above

man yet who had ever entirely sat-

he lied only to see Lady, Gwendolyn'

She gave hire her hand, and his
lips fastened on it eagerly, tiass1 i i-
atelv.: She kept • lel' ,tate • �a,'verted
still, but"sire did not chide liim, and
a taint tremor went through her
whole frame. Then slowly she tune
ed her head, and, looking him,
straight in the eyes, said softly:
"You. have not told inc i'otir se-
cret yet,"
Ho sprang to his feet abruptly,as
if he had been stung.
"'Who told you 1 hada secret?" ne
asked, in a stilled voice.
"Some one."
"Is it impussit,le that ''some one'
should Ile?"
"Tell ine it Is so, and I will be
iievc you.''
Dead silence..
"Do you hear me," Colonel Dacre?"
"Yes, I hear you, Lady Gwen
lo"
"That is not a reason."
"It is the best I can give you."
"The best you can give me would
be the true one."
"A woman does not like to confess
that she is curious," she said eva-
sively.
"Then it is curiosity?",
"I did not say so."
"You implied it, Lady' Gwendolyn,"
"Don't you know that speech was.
given to us to enable us to conceal
our thoughts, Colonel Dacre?"
"You are fencing the question. I
wish you would be frank with me for,
once."
"It is a great mistake to be frank.
You only put weapons into your ene-
mies' hands for them towound you
with.,,
"But you are not obliged to be
frank with enemies, Lady Gwen
dolyn."
If once people get into the habit,
it is very difficult to break it off. Be-
sides, who is to discriminate between
friend and foe?".
"I thought a woman's wonderful
instinct always% helped her there."
"Not always. For instance"—sau-
cily—"I have never been able to dis-
cover yet whether you like me or'.
not."
"Then you must be extraordinarily
obtuse," 'he answered, in the same
tone.
"I acknowledged as much just
now."
But at this moment they reached
the Hall, in spite of Colonel Deere's
lingering, and he carried her care-
fully over the threshold, and placed
her on the sofa in a small room,
which had once been his mother's
boudoir, and where the pretty things
a refined woman likes to collect
around her lay about in elegant pro
fusion.
"Now. I will go and speak to my
housekeeper, and place you in her
charge during my absence," he said;
and was moving toward the "door;
when she put out her hand and de-
tained him.
"Colonel Dacre, will you do me a
great favor?"
"A dozen if I had the chance," he
answered, with more vehemence than
he was .conscious of.
"I don't want any one to know I
am here until ,you return."
"Oh, but, Lady Gwendolyn, it is
impossible that I
should leave
you
without assistance."
"Not if I prefer it?" she asked,
with her most persuasive accent.
"When people want things that are
bad for them we generally serve
them, in spite of themselves, by a
denial,"
"Yes; but this is not really bad
for hie. My foot has entirely ceased
to pain nee, and what 1 want now is
simply rest and quiet. .I know Mrs.
Whittaker, and she is a terrible gos-
sip. I could not stand her in my
best moments; now she :would irritate

Seeing him still hesitate, she add-
ed, in a decided tone:
'•'Very well, then, if she comes, or
any fuss is made in the house, I'will
hop home, somehow, Colonel -Deere.
There will be an astonishing story
abroad to -morrow if Mrs. Whittaker
is taken into our confidence----"

"You forget that we shall have to
account for Doctor Thurlow's sud-
den visit,"
"I don't erre any need for that. You
are not surely bound to keep your
servants au Courant as to all your
movements."
"',Chat is about the last thing I
should think of as a rule, I trouble
myself very ,little about what they
think; but I ant naturally sensitive

"If that is the case, you must see'
thatmy proposition is a good one.

if they have nothing to talk about."
"You don't do justice to their in-
ventive faculties, Lady Gwendolyn.`'

She saw then what inference she
had favored, and grew crimson to the
very roots of her hair under his
searching, impassioned gaze. Amazed
at her own embarrassneemt, she
answered petulantly:
"I wish you would let me rest,
Colonel Dacre. I might as well have
had Mrs. Whittaker if you were going
to gossip like this." '
"I beg your pardon," he answered,

He chose one 'thatbe thought
would interest her, placed it on a lit-
tle table beside her sofa, with very
evident pleasure' in the service, and
then, remembering Lot's ;wife, he left
the room without once looking back.
Lord Teignmouth's park adjoined
his, and he had not far to go; brat, on
teaching the house, he heard, to his
dismay, that his lordship and wife
had driven out together to make some
calls, and were not .expected home
until six o'clock.
Of course he could not confide his
errand to the butler, and, therefore,
he simply said that he would hall

the -village. But, as luck would have

He had left the door ajar, and

flaps in his heart of hearts he was
sot sorry that he should have another
tete-a-tete with Lady Gwendolyn,
though he would not have confessed
is much even to himself, so anxious
was he to be honorable even in
thought.
The door of the little boudoir:
where he had left her was shut fast,
and he knocked softly thrice without
receiving any answer. .At last, fancy-
ing that the girl must have fallen
asleep, he opened it with a certain
hesitation and peered in, naturally
glancing first toward the sofa, where
he had seen her last, reclining help-
lessly back among the cushions.
She was not there.
Somewhat alarmed now, he walked
boldly in, and searched even behind
the curtains, thinking, perhaps, her
ladyship was coquetting with his
fears, and enjoying his discomfiture
fromher hiding -place. But she was
not there, or anywhere, so far as he
could perceive, and he paused in
great perplexity. Had the Teign-
mouths chanced to call while be Was
away, and carried her off?
This seemed the most feasible solu-
tion ofthe mystery, considering the
state she was in, and he was about
to adopt it, when he suddenly caught
sight of a little three -cornered . note
lying on the 'table which he had
placed beside Lady Gwendolyn's
couch.
It was addressed • to "Colonel.
Dacre," and, tearing it open eagerly,
he read the following words, whose
expressiveness was only equalled by
their laconicism:: '
• "I have found Crit your secret at
last. Adieu,"
CHAPTER III.
rrr A hese do
Colonel Dacre stood quite still for
beveral minutes, holding Lady Gwen-
dolyn's letter in his hand, and so
completely stunned by the misfortune
that had come upon him, he could
scarcely realize its magnitude as yet,
Had Lady Gwendolyn's accident been
a mere pretense and blind? And., if.
so, had she any excuse for her•decep
tion?
These were the, two questions he
put to himself the moment he could
reason. There was only one thing
that could have justified such a
course of action on Lady Gwendolyn's
part; and if she had pad this motive,
he was ready to forgive her. 1.15
would not judge her, then, until they
had met and he had interrogated her,
when, even if her tongue labored to
deeelve him still, he should know the
troth by her eyes. '
But he couid not present himself at
the Castle a see0 ed time that day,
and he might have betrayed Lady
tlwendo1yli by 00 doing; as there was
just the chance that she had been
able to get home without Lord and
Lady 'Teignmouth knowing ahythixtg
about her little adventure, "a

Thursday', nneaele Beth , x926.
Vile meal was a farce—he was
much too excited to eat; but he
thought it necessary to sit down to
table, and heap himself from one of
the savory little dishes which the bate
ler forced upon his notice. He did
not care to set them gossipinginu the
servants' hall; and Graham .had al-
ready remarked, with the freedom of
an old retainer, that "he feared hip
master must have had a bad night;
neon he had risen so much
earlier
than usual."
To wait until the afternoon was
'beyond Colonel Deere's courage; • apd
as he and Lord Teignmouth had been
at Eton together as boys, he thought
he might venture to make a morn-
ing cal l for ones in a way. So be or-
dered his horse at . a quarter to
twelve, and got through the interval
as best he could,
Lord Teignmouth was at home,
and received him cordially in the
library. He was a hearty, pleasant
mannered man, who managed to en-
joy life vastly, although the countess
was not reckoned, in the neighbor-
hood, to be a very satisfactory wife.
But, if frivolousand vain, her -lady-
ship was sweet -tempered, and accord-
ed as much liberty to her husband as
she took herself; so that they kept
on excellent terms—all the better,
perhaps, that they were so seldom to-
gether.
It was purely an accident that they
were both at the Castle now, as her
ladyship had an engagement else-
where; but a slight feverish attack
had brought her down to Teignmouth
for rest and fresh air,' and she was
as much charmed as surprised when
she found her husband and sister-in-
law ruralizing, also.
"It is so seldom one can manage'
to be ,quite en famille," she said af-
fably; "the world is such a tyrant,
it is always claiming one. I am hor-
ribly tired of gaiety, but one must
do as others do, you know."
And when the earl laughed, as he
always did at his wife's logic; she
opened her large blue, eyes,. and add-
ed innocently:
"Well, but mustn't one, dear?"
Colonel Dacre asked after the
Countess' health with great apparent
solicitude, as he shook hands with
his host, and was, of course, delight-
ed to 'hear that she had entirely re-
covered from her recent indisposition.
Then he added, with :assumed non-
chalance: -
"I. trust Lady Gwendolyn is equally
well."
"Oh! that's where the land lies, is.
it?" thought the earl. But aloud he
said, .with a certain twinkle of the
eye: •
"Inrust she is, too; but I haven't
seen her since last night."
'"No?" put in the colonel, waiting
eagerly for further information.
"The fact is," Lord Teignmouth
went on, in a confidential' tone,%"girls
are never of the same mind two days
together. Yesterday morning Gwen
was enchanted with Teignmouth, and
declared she would give up all her
engagements and stay here for the
autumn; in the evening, atdinner,
she suddenly'announced that she was
'bored to death, and should leave by
the first train in the morning."
"And this morning she changed
her mind for the third time, I pre-
sume?"

to see her at breakfast; but when; on
her not presenting herself, I made in-
quiries, I found that she had left
Teignmouth by the first train."
Colonel Dacre felt himself turn
pale, but managed to say, with toler-
able composure:
"I am sorry for that, as she was
kind enough to lend me a book the
other day, and I have not had the op-
pertunity of returning it. ` But per-
haps you' will kindly give me her ad-
dress, and then I can send it by post."
"Her address. Let me see," said
the earl, with provoking deliberation.
"I know it is somewhere in the
North."
"I am afraid that is rather vague."
"I am afraid it is," he answered,
with his frank laugh. "But I. have
such a confoundly bad memory.
Pauline would remember, I dare say.
She is generally my prompter. Sup
posing you go and ask her yourself?"
"Are you sure I should not be in-
truding on Lady Teignmouth?" in-
quired Colonel Dacre, whose eyes had
suddenly brightened at the proposi-
tion.
"On the contrary, I am'eertain her
ladyship will be delighted to see
you."
Lady Teignmouth was reclining on,
a lounge, by the open • window as.
Colonel Dacre entered, and her very
attitude showed how thoroughly
bored she was; but: at the sound of
his name she turned, with evident re -
life, and held out her hand.
"How very kind of you to take
Compassion on -a poor recluse!" she
said" gaily. :"I am literally dying of
ennui!' I do hope you have brought.
me some news."
"On the bontrary, I have come here
for news," he answered, seating him-
self in the chair her ladyship pointed
out,
"Then you have been 'taken in, I
am afraid Nothing new ever happens
at Teignmouth."
"I don't know about that," he said,
his voice trembling a little, "Lady
Gwendolyn's
' suddeh departure is
something new."
I "I am so accustomed to these
strange caprices of hers, they never
seem new to me," replied Lady Teign-
mouth, hardening a little. "It is <a.
great misfortune when a mere girl
has such a horror of anything like
control. I am going away to-fnorrow

"Lord Teignmouth told me phi f r d
left you her address," hazarded •he•
cotonel timidly.
The countess gave hint a sudden,
keen look right in the eyes, and then,
shook her head,;
"You know poor dear ieginaid al-
ways does make blunders, Colonel •:.
Dacre. Gwen' said something about
letting us know shortly • where he
was to be found, but 1 think it was
only a parting civility to which it
would not do to attach much impor-
tance,"
'But what motive could she have
for Concealing her +r; ereahouts?
"I never profess to understand.
Gwen's motives for anything,. Colonel
Deere; nor do 1; as a rule, interfere
in her plans. The best thing that
could happen to her would be to get
a husband who would keep her in or -
ler, for what litle authority Teign-
mouth might have, as her guardian he
never exercises, so that she is gettitlg
more and more lawless: every day."
„Lady Gwendolyn may consider
that she is justified in pleasing her-
self so long as Lord Teignmouth :does
not remonstrate; he is the only Per-
son who has a right: to take this tone
with her as yet.",
"Ohl I never interfere, if that Is
