You charge this man on suspicion of the robbery?" headdeJ, turning to Mrs. Tun eta!!. .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.
