He had not seen the sud- den terror. exquisite fear, which had overwhelmed her at the intelligence that her dreaded foe was not only actually close at hand, but would be near her every day to torment and trouble her. All that Darnley had seen was her hasty rush up the stairs, with an eagerness that as he remember- ed it sent a cnrious pang to his the dogs, dispensing pats of wel- round, and he heart, which grew deeper and deeper as he walked across the grounds. "My jud nt has been utterly at fault it seems," he said, bitter- ly, to himeelf, kicking savagely at a little daisy that: was rearing its innocent and pretty head to grect summer sun, "and she is no better than the rest. that she said just now, ' re money!'
