He paused.
In different tone he continued,
"My cousin, I am obliged to decline

De Valette's brows contracted. His

him. The boy protested.

For a moment she was silent, help

voice rose shrilly.
"Not Gilbert! Ah. God! Not Gil

At length she heard, as from a great
distance, the voice of her father.
"Gilbert Steele lias paid the penalty

pay it In the living. Sister, we go to

slowly.

It was Father O'Iara who ppoke.

She sank to her knees, clutching the
