Eva sighed. "I was just dream," she said.

"She's sleeping."

"Well, you might stay with her. She'll wake. I'll be in the library if you want me."

Eva shrunk back from the rebuke and her pale face plainly revealed, by the quick flush that covered it, how keenly her sensitive soul had felt the man's words.

The rest of the dinner, until the dessert was brought; was eaten in silence.

Suddenly she said utterly with-
