CHAPTER XVIE.

AN ANTIED WOMAN.

For a time after that duplicity which she had practised not only on Sir Geoffrey bat, in a manner of speaking, on Van Vleet, too, Lady Boral obtained some peace from Ira Challis, if not from her own tortured mind.

Challis on receipt of the 25,000, which was paid to him by a aboque to Self in the same that the preliminary £500 had been paid, | told her that Mark Lambert, was satisfied "for the prosast." Tast, indeed, he would disturb her no more for some time to come, while he binted, however, the same breath that, since the money was required for investment and to provide hit chont with an income for the future, it would be as well to let the whole sum of £10.000 be paid over as soon as convenient.

“Oh, my God!" said Lady Bottrell, sinking | missing, noone will ever know what I have done. into the chair in ber sleeping cabin after | None will over know that I took my own Rie Séverine had Loudod her the telegram to read, borneo I could not baur The shame I have "What is to be done!

Never!" and once more | witness the shame and disgrace I have bronght she burst into a food of tears as he had so on the only two creatures I had to love in all often done before,

Thoarb, as she spoke, she said inwardly, Never thought of before! Heaven help me, I have thought of it a thousand times. And, what the moment of exposare comes, as come it must, I will avail myself of it."

"What resource, Rhoda?" Séverine asked, looking at her mistress. "What? You have mentioned no other to me."
