And Ronny was distinctly worse, ne was feverish, and wandered in his talk, salling out for ‘Mummy" and imploring to be taken away from Mrs. Clutterbuck in a way that wae pitiful to hear. There were hints, too, of that darker time when he had been left alone with men and women as &‘anarser tÂ¥neâ€"brutes in human gulse, he had been left alone with men and women of a coarser typeâ€"brutes in human guise, who starved and beat him and swore, at him because he would neither ie nor steal. â€" This part of his story his friends had striven to make him forget, but when his brain was clouded by fever, the frightful images of those terrible weeks in a New York slum came back to him with redoubled force, and it sometimes seemed as though only the n»resence of the mother for whom he cried so those terrible weeks in a New York slum came back to him with redoubled force, and it sometimes seemed as though only the presence of the mother for whom he cried so constantly could chase thein away. And yet Fenella did not come. On the third day Jacynth waxed desperâ€" ate, and résolved to telegraph again. _ He had seen in the newspapers some accounts of a gale which had been raging in the Channel, and it occurred to him that the (GGuernsey boats might perbaps have ceased running, which would ot course give a reason for T.enella‘s silence, and yet it seemed to him impossible that she should have heard nothâ€" ing yet, or been unable to send him any anâ€" swer. He would telegraph again, but he would go to Onslow first ; it was possibleâ€" just possibleâ€"that she might have written to him. From the look of agitation on Frank‘s faceé, and the convulsive tightness with which he grasped a letter in hishand, Jacynth fancied at first that his conjecture had been correct. "What is it ? he said hurriedly. | ‘‘"Your wifeâ€"is she coming ? Does she know that you are sate ?" "Heaven knows! She makes no sign. #ibl >, the letter His face wa lTered. that nd story . His brow became dark and mevnacing as Re spoke, but he was more anxiouy than angry. _ He and Fenella knew the truth, and he was bound by her wishes to keep it secret from Lord Francis; was it posâ€" sible that anyone else shoald know? â€" Sureâ€" ly,he said to himself,no other soul on earth nowâ€" living had an inkling of the truth. But at all hazirds he would try to prevent Onsiow from keeping so suspicious and se unworthy a trysi. Frank Onslow, however, had made up his mind, and Gid not respond to any of Jacynth‘s somewhat ineffective arguments. And when the clock struck three, he took up his hat and went out without saying whither he: was bound.

Yes, all dreamlikeâ€"visionauryâ€"of a great station, of a short journey through the great city, then the rail once more, and then of the steamer calmly gliding down Southampton Water. The lights here and there, then the darkness and the cool, soft, light breeze fanning his burning temples, as he leaned over the bulwarks forward with fixed eyes, waiting for the morning and the first glimpse of the sunny island which he loved. & : o 1m Always confused and dreamlike, but there were memories of the dancing waters, of dimly seen white rocks, and of a great blaze of light flashing out at intervals with electric glavre, and seeining to sweep the sea. _ Then a long period of darknes« in a rough, tossing sea, whose cool spray ever dashed in his fice, and at last a pale peariv gray, chanuing to a warim glow; then broad sunshine, and at last, the rocky islets and his destination looking a very paradise seb in the deep blue sea.

Hb’{ifi; long the time seemed, and how misty and dim everything looked. The sun shone;fgpillia.mly, but there was something press ‘\llfg’ as it were, upon his brain, . a strange pain too at his heart, and that feelâ€" ing of faintness which seemed to overcome him from time to time.

But he had to avail himself of the driver‘s arm and totter up to u‘}de’odoor, his eyes wildly searching the window for Fenella‘s face. Thenlfg:ce more, as in a dream, someone meeting him and a voice speaking ; _ ‘"‘The lady ? No, sir, she left here in the bad weather, two days ago, by the boat."

He knew that it would be hours before au ans wer gouk%come, and to try andâ€"calm himself he was slowly walking along the path, gazing ouf;‘?to sea at the swiftly comâ€" ing tide, and ‘higking of the long period that had to be got over before he could take boat JIHXL morning, i g,d escape from . wh «6@ i omr ied * h ess he sat that rc footste W I ged garments | rough peaâ€"Jack he passed, and closely cut hal Onslow ackn him a becgar, aul Et v ind le 0 which 1 me m Oe UE N U Y e U e radhiedestong d is NCR ie u se tast uce 8 i Frauk," she continued. The handsome, smiling face suddenly turned livid, the jaw dropped, and with her eyes dilated, Lucille de VYigny stood gazing past Onslow as if at some spectral object at his back. Then, clutching the bag to her breast as if to protect herself, she uttered a wild, animalâ€"like cry of dread, turned and dashed down among the rocks where a preâ€" cipitous track led to the sea, Almost at the same moment a hoarse voice cried to Onslow in French : "Take care !
