.Hite was standing with her eyes cast
doe.;) i her hands hanging folded be
fore her, I caning against tho table. She
was in a delicate position, and she knew
it. If she hided with Percy, it would be
tantamount to a defiance of her husband
— a defianee which he would never
K*'e and would light out to tho bitter
end. It would mean for her loss of social
jiositioti and consequent exile and obscur
ity, or, if not obscurity, a kind of prom
incnce that no one would envy hi,. her. If,
«. « »
; her husband, it would afford the strong
cst possible indication, in lus eyes, of her
virtuous and will \y conduc t and rebuke
,,f the suspicions lie hail
against Iter Moreover, the evidence
against Percy was very strong and
plausible. It might be misleading—and
j- believe .............- Inin guil.y—but. m** in ca .ent should
turn out that he had yielded to some
sudden temptation, it would lie awkward,
sa y the least, to have compromised
herself for a felon. Had she loved him,
Indeed, there might have been a tragic
pleasure in sacrificing herself: but it was
now revealed to her tliat the only love in
the mutter was a love, not ot Percy, but
of excitement. The excitement had run
itself out, and was succeeded by a desire
to got out of the scrape by the shortest
route. But did she feel no remorse at
abandoning her lou r at the moment of
his great cst nee: IV No; tho feminine ccn
science is not so easily caught. It" as
" *th a glow of conscious virtue and con
nubial rectitude that she lifted her pretty
face, and addressing her husband, said:
“Well, 1 suppose lie must have cone it.

away, perhaps to see liovv he would take

expression of half incredulous curiosity;
but the next moment he threw hack his
head and burst into a loud laugh. She
shrank a little at that sound, tmd edged
toward the door; and this was tho lovers’
parting scene.

was; he had a station (that’s what they
call a ranch out there), Matapiro, on the
banks of the Ngararoro river. Well,
Cartwright initiated mo into the m vs ter
