u wards them,had separated,Mr Quest
going to tho right across the lawn
✓ to pick up a glove which had drop-
ped upon the grass, while Edward.
f Cossey slowly sauntered towards
, them. When he was about nine
paces off, he too halted, and, stoop-
ing a little, looked abstractedly at a
• white Japanese chrysanthemum
which was still in bloom. Mrs
Quest turned,as the colonel thought,
to put the gun back aaainst the
wall. He would have offered to
take it from her, but at the mom

beth his hands were occupied in er-
trading one of the "painters" from
a snipe. . The next thing that he

strike against the wall of the house
and fall to the ground. Instantly,
whether by instinct or by chance,he
never knew, he glanced towards the
place where Edward Cnssey was
stand:rig, and saw that his face was u
streaming with blood, and that his
right arm' hung helpless by his side. s
Even as he looked he saw him put
his uninjured hand to his,bead, and, i
without a world or a sound, sink d
down on the gravel path.
For a second there was silence, y
and the blue smoke frora the gun D
hung heavily, upon the damp autumn c
air. in the midst of it stood Belle b
Quest like one' transfixed, her lips
apart,her blue eyes opened wide,and a
the stamp of terror—or was it guilt "
—upon her pallid face. •w
All this he saw In a flash, and
then ran to the bleeding heap upon w
the gravel. ta
lie reached it almost simultanern
-
ously with Mr Quest, and together rn
they turned the body over. But ro
still Belle stood there enveloped in
the heavy smoke. se
• Presently, •however, her trance m
left her, and she ran up, flung her- Y�
self upon her knees, and looked at se
her former lover, whose face and er
head Were now. mass of blood. at

further.

arm, "and go for the doctor, for if am

stood by holding a basin of
water. She did not speak, and on
her face was the same fixed look of
horror which Harold had observed
ofter the discharge of the gun.
When the examination was fin-
iched, the two doctors whispered to-
gether for a few seconds.
"Will he live?" asked Mr Quest.
"We cannot say," answered the
older doctor. "We do not think it
probable that he will. It will de-
pend upon the extent of his injuries,
and whether or no they have ex-
tended to the spine. If he does live
he will probably be paralyzed to
some extent, and he will certainly
lose the bearing of the right ear."
When she heard this, Belle sank
down upon a chair overwhelmed,and
then the two doctors, assisted by
Harold,tet to work to carry Edward
Cossey into another room, which
had been rapidly prepared, leaving
Mr Quest alone with his wife.
He came and stood in. front of'
her and looked her in the face, and
then laughed.
"Upon my word," he said, "we

men .beat us in wickedness.'

Iltese things Harold realized most
clearly in the heavy days that fol-
' lowed that churchyard separation.
He took bia punishment like a
brave man indeed, and went about
;' bis daily occupations with a stead-
', fast,face, but this bold behavior did
tot ; lessen its weight. He- had

the tastle of her dress and the

; realize again and yet again that all
these things were not for him, that
they had passed from hina into the
ownership of another man? ...
en.the day following that upon
which Edward Cossey had been ter-
ifictd.jnto'transferring the Honh am
rrrortgages to Mr Quest the colonel
went out ithoo,tog. • Ile bad on the

But of course you know it. No

"Ah!" she said, drawing a long
breath.
"And now look here,'.' he went
on. "Once and for all, I will not
be interfered. with by you. I am
engaged to n.arry Ida de Molle, and

She had been holding the fan be
fore .her face while he spoke. Now
she lowered it and looked at him.
er face was. paler. rhan ever, paler
than death, if that be possible, but
in her eyes there shone a light like
the light of a llama.
"Why not?" she said, quietly.
"Why not?" he antivrercd, savage-
ly. ftl wonder that you think it
necessa y co ask such a question;
but as you do, I will tell you why.
Because Ida is the lady whom em
going to marry, and I do not cheese
that , she should associate with a
woman who has been my mistrers."
"Ab!" she said aga'n, "I under-
stand now."
At that moment a dliersion oc-
curred. The drawing-rooixt looked
on to the garden, and at the end of
the garden was a door which opened
on to • another.street.'
Through this door bad tome Col-
onel Quaritch, accotnpanied by Mr
Quest, the former .with his gun un-
der his.arm. They had walked up
the garden, and were almost at the
French window when Edward Cos-
sey saw them. "Control yourself,"
he said,in a low voice, "here is yore
husband."
'Mr Quest advanced and knocked

When he had first seen Mrs Que
that afternoon she and Cossey we
alone together, and he had notic
sonuething unusual aout her, sour
thing unnatural and intense. I
deed, he had, he remembered, to
her that she looked like the Trag
Muse. Could it be that the loo
was the look of a woinan maddene
by inault and jealousy, who iv
meditating some fearful or imeli Ho
did that gunge off? He did not se
it, and he thanked God that he di
not, for somehow we are not alway
as anxious to bring our fellow-cre
tures to justice as we might be, e
pecially when they happen to b
young and lovely women. Ho
did -it go off? She understood guns;
he could see that. from the way sh
handled it. Was it likely that i
exploded of itself, or owing to a
accidental touch of the trigger! I
was possible, but not likely. Still
such things had been known to hap
pen, and it would be impossible t
prove that it had not happened i
this case. Ifit were Olin atternpte
murder it was very cleverly man
aged, because nobody could prov
thata-it - was but .anciderrrat—
conld it be possible that that soft,
beautiful, baby -faced woman could
have, on the spur of the motnent,
taken advantage of his loaded gun
to wreak her paasion and her wrongs
upon her faithless lover? Well, the
face is no mirror of the quality of
the soul within, and it was possible.
Further than that it did not seem
to him to he his business to inquire.
By this tirne he was at the Castle.
The squire was out,but Ida was in,
and be was shown into the drawing-
rootn while the servant went to seek
her. Presently be heard her dress
rustle upon the stairs,and the sound
of it sent the blood to his heart, for
where is the music that is more
sweet than the rustling of the dress
of th d wcman 'whom we love.
She camein and shook bands
with him.
"Why, what is the matter?" she
said, noticing the disturbed expres-
sion on his face.
"Well," he said, "there has been
an accident—a very bad accident."
"Who?" she said. "Not my
fathet?"h .
no; Mr Cossey."
"Oh," she said, with a sigh of te-
lief. "Why did you frighten me
so? •
The colonel smiled grimly at this
unconscious exhibition of the rola-
