a subject which had formed one of- the
strongest bases to the argument by
'which I had sought to save 'Mr. Durand,
Miss Grey cherished no such distrust of
hey fattier hs X, in my ignorance of their
relations, hart impute,j to her in the
early hours of. my ministrations. This
you have already seen in my account, of
i heir parting. Whatever ids dread, 'fear
or remorse, there was no evidence that
she felt toward him anything but love
and confidence: but love and confidence
from her to him were in direct contra
diction to the doubts I had be
lieved her to have expressed in the lialf-
wiitten note handed to Mrs. Euirbroilit-r
in tiie alcove. Had I been wrong - , then,
in attributing ibis scrawl to her? It be
gan to look so. Though forbidden to
allow her to speak on the one tabooed
subject. I had wit enough to know that
nothing would keep her from if, if the
fate of Airs. Fairbrother occupied any
real place in her thoughts.

me one morning' Of settling this fact be
yond all doubt. J own that my main
feeling was one of dread. T feared to
see this article in my creed destroyed,
