She took a chair near the open door and bent forwaid with an air of attention that was disquieting. She wore black perhaps to lit her the better into the house of a somber Sisterhood. I seemed suddenly to remember her from a time long gone, and the effoit of memory threw me off guard.

I suppose that even then the con--- sptracy was thoroughly arranged, I said tauntingly, laughing a little perhaps, in my brutal Impulse to wound her, to take vengeance upon her. She rose and stood by her chair, one hand resting upon it I faced her; her eyes were like violet seas. She spoke very quietly. "Mr. Glenarm, has it occurred to you that when I talked to you there in the park, when I risked unpleasant gossip In receiving you In a house where you had no possible right to be, that I was counting upon something, foolishly and stupidly, yet counting upon it? "You probably thought I was a fool," I retorted. "I she smiled slightly. I believe I have said this to you before! that you were a gentleman. I reallydld. Mr. Glenarm. I must' say it to justify myself. I relied upon your chivalry, I even thought, when I played being Olivia, that you had a sense of humor. But you are not the one and you havent the other. .1 even went so far, after you knew perfectly well who I waa, to try to help you to encourage you to prove yourself the man your grandfather wished you to be. And now you come to me In a shocking bad humor, I really think you would like to be Insulting, Mr. Glenarm. If you could. But Pickering, you came back - with him; he is here and he to going to atayl And now that the property belongs to you, there is not the slightest reason why we should make any pretense of anything but enmity.

Your blustering can hardly conceal the fact of your failures. I had hoped you would really be of some help to Sister Theresa, and incidentally to me, but we both sadly misjudged yon. Her tone, changing from amused indifference to severest disdain, stung me into self-pitfor my stupidity in having sought her. My anger was not against her, but against Pickering, who had, I persuaded myself, always blocked my path. She went on. Mr. Pickering te decidedly more than a match for wou, Mr. Glenarm, even in humor. She drew herself up with tragic scorn m every line of her figure, then relaxed, laughed and was Olivia again; and as I watched her, wondering, perplexed, chagrined, she turned swiftly away and ran I am sure she ran fiom the room. She left me so quickly, so softly, that I stood staring like a fool at the spot fchere she had been, and then I went gloomily back to Glenarm House, angry, ashamed and crestfallen. While we were waiting for dinner I made a clean breast of my acquaintance with her to Larry, omitting nothing, rejoicing even to paint my own conduct as black as possible. You may remember her, I concluded, "she was the girl we saw at Sherrys that night we dined there. She waa with Pickering, and you noticed her, spoke of her, aa she went out? That little girl who seemed so bored, or tired or sick? Bless me, why her eyes haunted me for days.
