Naturally enough the words: Good-bye dear, dear Wayne," were still ringing sweetly, yet with almost unbearable pathos, in his ears. True lover that he was, he felt the security of his hold upon Rose s heart, hecould not doubt her faithfulness. What then was the mean- ing of the strange treatment he had received! Of course it was quite impossible for him to formulate any satisfactory explanation, and the more he thought of it the more mysterious `it seemed. Doubtless his imagination exag- gerated the whole affair, but at best, under the circumstances, there was much in it to arouse the daepest anxiety if not the wildest and most shapeless suspicion which` now crowded his brain. Hitherto he had been a, frequent visitor at the Fenwicke place; noth- ing of which he was aware had happened to cause the sudden change, nor was there any" theory upon which he could account for the singular and almost frantic conduct of in driving him away.` ` .
