The sea was as sorrowful as herself, she thought, and muttering softly to her as the waves came rolling in almost to her feet.

It might have done so, but the very words so burned into her brain to her were justification: "at whatever cost to yourself or to others." They shut up any loophole of escape.

"No, I don't understand it. I only know, Arnold, that this life of suspense is killing me." He started, and a look of shocked wonder came into his face; then he laid his band on her shoulder. and checked the sigh that could not ease the weight at his heart.

"I suppose, Erica," said Philip St. John, one evening about ten days after his wife's interview with her cousin, "that you would not care to go to these Ringtoii races?" He smiled as he made the assertion, pausing by her side in his walk up and down the long drawing room. She was playing softly in the twilight, but her hands dropped from the keys, and she looked up with a sudden flush on her cheek and a sparkle in her eyes. "Oh, yes, Philip, I should like it so much." she said; "will you take me?" He laughed at her eagerness. "Yes, my child, if you like; I am glad there is anything to amuse you in this dull place," lie said; "since when, though, have you developed a taste for racing?" "Oh, I don't care exactly for the racing," answered the girl, rising up and bending over some flowers in a stand near: "the scene is amusing, and the people are so odd.

Arnold did not sneak, luu stood in perfect silence, half amused by the Eassionate bitterness with which Erijja ad uttered those words, yet half angered too. "Why do you try?" he said, sullenly, at length; "it's no earthly use. You've told me often enough that I'm everything that's bad.

I can't help it if you are so sensitive as to be wretched because I play and bet, and so on, and because your husband is too honorable to allow nis wife to know such a person. Thousands of fellows do the same, Erica; you don't know the world a bit, and think everything dreadful." "Thousands!" said the girl, clasping her hands together, and suppressing the sterner words that sprang to her lips, "luring themselves to rum; they 'only' play and bet.
