CHAPTER XIX.

The next day at three o'clock Lady Bottrell sat alone in her drawing room overlooking the Park, now bathed in the autumn run. At pre- sent it was quite empty of the crowds of carriages at which, four months ago, she bad gazed while teiling berself that all was well for the future; that Maud's career was assured, that, oncoforth, there was no blow which could possibly fall and, in its fall. shatter the damunt of oblivion with which Time had en cased her secret.

And then-then as she now told hersola blow had fallen; one that had caused her to become little better than an intriguing, dis honest woman, a woman whose life was a living lis; one who-and this, to a woman, is the most bitter thought of all-could no longer respect herself.

It was not strange," she mused this after noon as she sat atlessly upon her lounge near the window while she listened half eagerly, half

anxiously, and wholly nervously for the sound of a knock at the hall door which she was expooting; "it was not afrange that I should have been driven to, impelled toward that which I attempted last night. That which would have been accomplished if it had not been for the appearance of Augustus at the last

She was pole as she mused thus; pale an-1 with none of the rich colouring left in her chooks, yot with one thing still left, hor beauty, and also another, that look of youth which she so strangely possessed, and which caused those who saw her for the first timo to refuse to believe that they were gazing at a woman who was nearly forty.

"His hair is dooked with white and he has grown a board. Yat-yet-us!" Augustas said, "o. The photograph you have would be to us to me. I want to see the one taken of him in the United States, and the name of the photgrapher."

"Tha is easy. I can remember it perfectly. The one was Bingleton & Gebhardt,"

"Bingleton & Gebhardt," Augustna anid, writing it down. Yet, oven then. I should koor the number on the back. There would be one, suppose?"

"There was one, and I can remember that too. Pincipally because the figures were all onosanda tro. They were 11.12. I found myself peating them over and over again like a chill learning a lesyou, or as a person who was half bewildered or stupefied, after I bad my first interview with that man."

Somehow she told it, somehow I though often with her eyes averted, or cast down, and ones, when she arrived at that portion of the story which dealt with the appearance of Challis on the scene and the knowledge she then obtained that her first husband was still alive, with her hands before her face.

**Yes. That in tho man,” and Lady Boltrell sighed, not perhaps more deeply for the lary Mark Furness had brought on her than that he should have fallen as low as he had done. Bo low that an honest man should speak of him in the contemptuous manner Augustna had used.
