In the Countess Lurovich, Carson found a ready confederate, for twice bad the adventuress‘ schemes been upâ€" set by Lord Cecil, and her hatred of the nobleman was intense. She still maintained her country home at Ashâ€" ley grange, which place, adjoining Ceclt‘s estate, afforded an excellent base of operations. Carson was instalâ€" led as a guest, his presence being kept a secret, while the countess reconnoitâ€" ered and laid her plans. It was on a short roaming expedition that Betty encountered the Countess Lurovich, who, at sight of her, adâ€" wanced smilingly. "I am afraid I have missed my way. Can you indicate the most direct route to Ashley grange?" she said. Betty shook her head. "No. I guess not 1 don‘t yet know this range very well myself," she reâ€" sponded with the frank friendliness of her western land. "It lies off this way, but that is all 1 know." "Sweetheart," bhe said gravely, "among the fairest and most brilliant of all the earth you would be to me as that moon is among the paling stars." The girl shivered in his arms. "Let us go in. Iâ€"I am afraid," she *"Iâ€"I cannot say back anything that would be pretty and fine," she whisâ€" pered. "Out in Nevada they thought me well educatedâ€"I even went one year to boarding school in Denverâ€" but I can‘t say those pretty things, as you do, even when 1 feel them in my beart. You won‘t ever be ashamed of me, will you, dear, even when you take me among beautiful women who know all the things 1 â€"do not?" Cecil took her into his arms and looked tenderly into the wistful eyes raised to his face. as this, When the sweet wind did gently kiss the trees And they did make no noise, in such a night Troilus methinks mounted the Troyan walls And sigh‘d his soul toward the Grecian tents, Where Cressid lay that night." Into the girl‘s eyes came a shadow, and hbher lips parted wistfully. "Oh, I see! You are a stranger. A rew servant at Croftlaigh, I pre sume?"" The girPs face did not change, but the countess‘ keen eyes noted with The countess surveyed ber with friendly insolence. Throwing a filmy scarf about bet bare shoulders, Betty now stole out to the terrace that overlooked the sunkâ€" en garden where heavy headed roses weighted the air with perfume. Leanâ€" ing Gdreamily against the balustrade was the figure of a man, and with a tender smile the girl moved softly to his side. His hand closed over hers as, without taking his eyes from the gilent beauty spread before them, he quoted softly: f . "The moon shines bright; in such a night satisfaction the tinge of added color that crept into her cheeks. "I am Lady Cecil, madam." "My dear child, forgive me!"‘ the countess cried with perfect simula: tion of embarrassed confusion. *"You won‘t mention my meeting you and making such an absurd mistake. wili you, my dear child? 1| am a dear, inti mate friend of your tusband."

He was suddenly called to Cantlebury in a matter of some ‘ampers of game thought to have been poached from Croftlaigh covers, and your ladyship couldn‘t be located before he left." "YVery well, James," Betty said, with a sudden sense of loneliness. "They need not serve dinner. Have some tea brought to the library." James bowed, but with troubled face, for he loved this young mistress. "If I might make so bold, my lady," he said diffidently, "the cook will be rare disappointed. ‘F read in Titâ€"Bits as ‘ow in America no one ever ate anyâ€" thing but fried beefsteak and prunes, and he has prepared someâ€"‘e found out how to do it by writing to a cousin in St. Louis, Americaâ€"as a surprise for your ladyship." _ Betty smiled.

That, as she was convinced he did, Cecil still loved her took nothing from her bitterness, but rather was an added shame. Rather listlessly Betty sank into the chair in front of Lord Cecil‘s writing table and rested her chin upon‘ her clasped hands. Presently she became aware that she was subconsciously reading what lay under her eyesâ€"the gecond sheet of an unfinished letter, in her husband‘s hand, left carelessly upon the desk, Before she realized, her brain had taken the meaning from her eye. For a long time after she left the countess Betty wandered miserably, unable to return to the old house that had sheltered her now dead happiness. Her proud little soul had suffered a ter. rible wound.

No sooner had Betty left the library than a pair of curtains parted cauâ€" tiously, a maid stole into the room, quickly removed the paper from the desk and hurried out. Early the following morning Lord Cecil again@departed for Cantlebury, in connection with the poached game, and Betty burried into the open, as bad always been‘ her wont when her heart was burdened. +~She felt that she must reach some decision. She could not continue to live in the humiliatâ€" ing position of a wife of whom the busband was ashamed. "To help meâ€"that is likely!" the girl laughed bitterly.. "Have you discorâ€" ered that I am the owner of another mine which you wish to steal ?" He looked at her reproachfully. "Betty," he said gravely, "I know I‘ve done some crooked things in my life, but I always done the best I could by you, an‘ I‘ve come back here to prove I‘m a friend and don‘t bear no bhard feelings, even after the way you turned on me for the sake of your husâ€" bangd. I was only tryin‘ to take care of youBetty." Despite her judgment, Betty‘s heart softened. Whatever had been his mo tives, this man had in his way been good to herâ€"hbe was the only one who had ever â€"cared whether she lived or died, went shelterless or slept beneath a roof, Since her early childhood he had assumed the place of her father, and the thought habits of youth are not easily broken. ‘"Youâ€"your actions looked pretty bad, Monte,": she said slowly. "I did not mean to be unjust, ever, but you had given me cause to distrust you. What is it you have to say now?" "I know you are proud, Betty, but I want you to bear me out," Carson told ber. He seemed to ponder what would be the least painful words, and then continued: + a Seated In Loverlike Converse Were Two Figures, One the Unmistakable Figure of Lord Cecil. "What are you doing here?"‘ the girl demanded coldly. Mr. Carson appeared grieved. "For what would I be here except to help you, Betty?‘ he asked in reply. "Pretty soon after I got back to New York I met a man who knew all about Lord Cecilâ€"and what I beard brought me back here as quick as 1 could come. He hbasn‘t played square with you, Betty. He"â€" Betty‘s eyes filasbed fiercely. "I will hear notrhing against my husâ€" band," sne said quietly. ‘"Where is he today?" Carson asked, with a sudden change of tone. P As she turnéd the corner of a lane, Betty was astonished to come face to face with Mr. Monte Carson, who greeted her with a smile of mingled afâ€" fection and sympathy. "*You won‘t want to stay, I reckon, Betty," he said, as he overtook her. She did not raise her eyes, but nodded. «*"*Ne. I will go away," she said dully. "I knew you would. I‘m goin‘ to look out for you, little girl. I reckon you don‘t want to see him before you go," Carson suggested...‘ ""No, I do not wish to see him," she replied in the same lifeless voice,, so unlike her own. "Please take me away now.

I must know the truth now, and all of it." *"‘I‘m plumb sorry, Betty," Carson said sympathetically. "I shore am, but there ain‘t no doubt. Come with me." In silence they walked rapidly along a mile of hedge walled lanes. Presentâ€" lIy they drew near the small stream that was the boundary between Croftâ€" laigh and Ashley grange, and Carson, drawing the girl into the shelter of a clump of shrubbery, pointed to the opâ€" posite bank. Seated in loverlike conâ€" verse were two figures, one the unmisâ€" takable figure of Lord Cecil, the other the Countess Lurovich. Even as Betty An hour later a motor was speeding swiftly toward Whitehaven. In it sat Betty with pale, drawn face and Mr. Monte Carson, on whose vindictive and greedy features was a grin of grat. ified triumph. t Slowly Lord Cecil placed the note in the pocket of his coat. "I will find you, my own, though it be at the ends of the earth, and shut you up in my hbeart,‘"‘ he whispered. "And as for whosoever has done this It was near the dinner hour when Lord Cecil returned from Cantlebury, where the matter of the poached game had been finally concluded, and with an eager light in his eyes hurried into the manor house. As he moved toward the stair James came quietly forward and stopped him with a bow. "Her ladyship has gone out, my lord," he said, and in the man‘s voice Cecil caught a troubled note. "She left a note in the library, my lord." With a vague sensation of impending disaster Cecil hurried to the dim old room and ripped open the envelope lyâ€" ing upon his writing table. His face grew white as his eyes flashed over the tear blotted page. "Beloved," be read and seemed to hear the soft, caressing voice that was used to whisper the endearment in his ear, "I have gone away, and you will never see me again. I know that you love another and that you are ashamed of me. I tried so hard to make you happy. ‘There is but one thing more I can do for you. You will find in the safe a deed of gift for the ‘Golden Hope.‘ I hope you will be very happy. You did love me a little for a time, did you not, my husband? Goodby."
