As soon however as Victor heard of Briton’ death. he recalled the savage attack the dog had made upon Miss Revelsworth that morning, and the wonderful way in which she had reduc- ed him to trembling submission. Was the dog mad then? he wondered. tuil of anxiety on his iadylove’s account. The others turned to him in surprise. and the young man widened.

Mrs. Revels- wont‘h. who liked listening to music, put down her rattling wooden knit- ting-pins to hear them better, while Dudley, seated near her, strnked his moustache and pondered, chiefly about Francesca. the precious youth. h.e hadrhzen can- strained to bestow a shilling upon him with the tacit underarm-ding that he was to keep s.l~ent on the subject of that matutinal walk upon which the s1ave, already realized that for him Francesca's will was law. The l'ght in which he had come to regard her prompted his first thought on reading her letter to Mrs. Revels- worth. "Now what was her reason for keep- ing her mmher's existence a secret?" That was the question that rose in Dudley’s mind, while Victor was melt- ed to tea rs by the affecting tenderness cf Francesca’s allusions to her mother. Victor had been equally astonished and angered by Joe Welldon’s hint that Francesca might have been concerned in the death of the dog which had at- tacked hen At the same time, after. adminiatering a sharp reprimand to The more he saw of her, the greater his opportunity of studying her feat- ures and her movements, the stronger the conviction grew upon him that two wvxnen, with that face and voice and height, and, above all, with thoée StrangEIy-Smilir?‘ blue eyes, could not exist. He was is. -h to believe that his cousin was deliberately lying to him, and his admiration for her beauty and the personal fascination she had for him were undeniably strong; yet al- ready he was fighting against her sway over his heart and senses, and telling himself that the strange magnetic at- traction which she passessed for him was an unworthy t-hraldom, to which he must not submit without a struggle. 3 â€" “It seeni's such an unlucky beginning $10:- yo 1 stay here,” said Betty, “and Ereminds me of what our last parlor- maid said when she gave notice. ‘No good,’ she said, ‘can come of living fin a haunted house.’ The ghostly, rustling drove her away, she declared: gand that reminds me that I never asked "you two how you slept, and whether you were disturbed in the night?” ! “I can answer for myself that I slept iiike a. top until my hot water was 1 brought at a quaiter (to eight, ” Dudley Wegan, and then stopped short, struck by the change that came over his brother’ 8 face at Bet‘ y 8 question. For i the young Frenchman had flushed and looked emtariassed, just as he had done a few minutes before, when the dead mastiff had been the subject of conversation. For a moment his thoughts flew to 'the short, stout, indistinguishable per- son whom he had met with Francesca'l “double” at the music-hall. But aftel a little consideration he realised that this person could n". by any possibil- lty be his cousin’s paralysed mother. The mere fact that the idea had occur- red to him however proved that he could not quite rid his mind of the mt...i..:~.-..,...at.:x that Francesca and the lady at the music-hall were one and the same person, in spite of Miss Revelsworth’s scornful and reiterated denials on the subject. CHAPTER XI. Dudley Revelsworth was even than surprised and puzzled than were hla brother and his aun‘ when he learned of the existence of Francesca’s mother. and when at Mrs. Revelsworth's tea- time his cousin’s letter was shown to him. "'l hat dcg masn’t never hurt outside,“ he whispered. “I found blood upon the door- mat l ere and w 'pe-d it up. Was It her he sprang upon}?

As if he divined his brother’s conjec« ture and desired to avoid a cross-exam- ination, Victor hurriedly left the room. pleading an appointment with his kite- flying friends, as soon as Mrs. Revels- worth’s bell summoned Betty up stairs. Before however he had time to leave the house, the boy Joseph joined him In the hall, and, to Victor’s surprise, approached him with an air or consido erable mystery. “Victor is keevp‘ng something from me,” Dudiey thought. “What in the world can .t be?" In consultation the three young peo- ple decided that the news must be broken gently and gradually to Brlton'a mistress. The dog's untimely end had saddened them all. truthpt Jose h‘s statement. Here they, tound poor rl'ton’s body, still warm. but growing stiff in, death, stretched upon the straw, the tongue, which pro- truded from the :mo‘zth, and the entire throat swollen and inflamed.

Tears rolled fast down her cheeks, until Dudley. putting his arm around her in gentle brotherly fashion, induced 'her to re: turn with him to the house. week, and {fie’butch'r's 'boy said he’d do for him, 'causo I heard hlm."

And so the conversation on the sub- :ec,_t‘ or Francesca closed. “It remains to be seen." said Dudley quietly, “whether'she intends to em courage either at us.

Now I am not one of those silly people who talk about ‘beauty be- ing skin-deep' and ‘handsome is as handsome does.’ I don't know when that nonsense came in; it isn't Bibli- cal, for certa‘n. If you know your Bible, you will remember that in M0- saic days the priests had all to be handsome, ‘wiihout spot or blemish; and that all the chosen leaders were ‘goodly’ and ‘well favored.’ I like to see handsome men and handsome women about the, but it must be tne right sort of h'hdsomeness. You may think I have been living so long out of the world that I have grown morbid: but, when my niece Frances lay back last night in that chair in which you are sitting now, taking stock of me .with half shut eyes, it came to me that there was something wrong, something sinister in her good looks, andâ€"it’s a strange thing for me to say, who have :never feared anything yet, but. when that girl came near me, I almost felt I {was afraid of her!" Dudley listered with frowning brows, deemy interested. “ ‘As the flight of a river that flows to the 883, My soul rusheth ever in tumult to thee]" ’ The lines, sung with much fervour by Victor to Betty's acoom-painment. reached the ears of Mrs. Revelswort-h and her nephew at that moment. They exchanged glances with a half smile. “Yes," Dudley said in a low vo ce, in answer to the unspoken question in hie aunt's eyesâ€"“Victor certainly admires Frances very much, but he does not as 3â€"ru1e take' his love-affairs much to heart."
