Something sickening stirred within her. Her voice- was untied beneath a pile of despairing thoughts. Speechlessly, she looked at- Mrs. Du Val. "Ah, k shocks you. But he love you- .lrs Du Val's (inn cheek against ner nuir. "Do not he is your husband. II Some tune alter .Mrs. Du Val Ik none, uoris lay there without -tirring. She had closed her eyes.

That will be all. but Kstelle," she called after her a moment later "if you please, don't mention this. I mean, mv beine- so i will you'.'

That change which had come over Mrs Du Val's face when she first spoke of the .-u.jmse. it meant something. It meant that she feared Doris wa. not well enough no hear it the whole truth. She slipped her feet into her mules and got to the door, her heart beating with suppressed vehemence. "Est elle," she called softly down the hall to the maid.

But the fires of righteous indignation put him buck on his guard. "Yes, Mother did bring you here," his voice was kinder as he spoke of his mother 'you're right about that. She wrote me about I meeting you and bringing you home with her. Hut Chat's not what wor ries me." His face came closer again half menacingly. "I want to know how you happen to be in Doris' place!"

Wa-all this finally to end in' the police count ? His mocking smile cime again: ' She registers terror!" he said unpleasant ly. Very good. Lifelike. Go to the hcid. of the class."
