AN ANGEL OF EVIL. L-etty's manner was graver than us- ual. Iier talk with Mrs. Revelswrrth. had filied her w.th vague alarms. It seemed to her a dl‘eiideI and almost a despicable thing that her employer should propose secretly to set detectives to hunt up Frances Revelsworth‘s life- histoxy, although Betty loyally believed there wculd be no part of it of which her friend w uld need to be ashamed. In Betty’s c‘lnicn Francesca was a grand and generous creature, brilliant and taoinating as she was beautiful, and a model of daughterly devotion. The strange half-dread and deep-rooted mistrust of her which characterised Mrs. Revelsworth were inexplicable to Betty. It was true that she herself would not willingly offend her “panther It’rlend," as Heremon O’Meara had ' styled Francesca; but there seemed lit- tle chance that she would do so, for Miss Revelsworth's good-humor was unfailing, and her pat.ence under her aunt's daily tire of sarcastic comment quite remarkable. Betty herself was extremely swee empered, and even ready to save tro his 'or vexation to Others. She was most anxious that. on this particular day, when Mrs. Remis- werth's nerves were clearly not under control, she should not he further ex- asperated by any unpunctuality on the Part of her niece and nephew; and it was for this reason that M.ss Manning- ton gave Joseph directions as to where he was likely to find the truants, and to remind them of the growing lateness of the hour, her own instincts. teaching 9191' infallibly that they were far more likely to be making love under the Pal. ace Lme-trees nun choosing boats by the water-side. Joseph Welldcn, on his part, accepted his mission gladly. There was some- thing he particularly wanted to say to Miss Revelsworth, and he was, more- over. delighted at the opp'rtunity of interrputing her tete-a-tete with her cousin. For in the mind of this half- Jewish, half-gipsy, and wholly un-Eng. llsh lad of fifteen there had grown up during the past treath an absorbing passion for Miss Revelsworth, mingled with a very real fear-something Leann. tul and terribleâ€"a very angel of melt. edness. all-wise and all-powerful. She exercised over him the fascination of terror, and there was hardly any task he would not have g'adly performed in her service. So far he had never dared to ofler her Openly his invaluable aid as a spy in the enemy's camp: but he was fully resolved upon d0’ng so now. He looked at Miss Revr sworth in such a meaning way that. the latter immedi- ately understood that he had somethfng of importance to communicate to her. ‘4” “You will have to fly home.
