The sodden entrance of a servant

and mind.
"Mrs iyAqulla," announced the me

Brancaater shrugged angry shoul

and then stopped short as she saw that
he took almost involuntarily a few
backward steps from her. •'What Is

“Nothing." returned Brancaster.
"Won’t you sit down? 1 '
She obeyed his hand gesture and sat
down.

how you are."
His manner was rold as he replied:
“PructJcaJJy quite we/1 again—at

woman must have seen plainly that he
wished to break with her. there was
