"I've been, and come back agoln,” ** Where?"
That's my business," he answered quite calmly. Your welcome home is not a very warm one, to say the least."
I have no welcome for my enemies." "Oh Twan erany-ch? Well," he added, I have always considered myself your friend." Friend!" she shood. You show your friendliness in a rather curious manner!

"No. You are under a mleapprehension." be responded quickly, * The affair is no dastardly plot, but merely a little piece of ingenuity by which we may outwit La Gioia."

"No," he went on, in a clear Arm voice, “I refuse to be further associated with any of your schemes. You are quite capable of carrying out any villainy without my assistance."
Neel we use the term villainy where La Gleis is concerned !" he asked. "You know her well enough to be aware that if she finds you she will be merciless, and will glant over your downfall."

He kugled cutright, as thongh there were something humorous in her words.
“No, to my dear," he answered quickly. Yon quite misunderstand my intention."
I misunderstood your intention on a previous occasion," she said, meaningly.
But in this affair our interests are entirely mutual, he pointed out, **You must assist

She could not torture me more than I am already tortured, with my mind so full of all that has gone by," my wife declared in a hoarse.. unnatural voice which plainly told of acute suffering.
