upon that story of Circe, thst he had told
to Arthur I’enrhyddyn, and by a fanlaa-

that tbs story had slumbered In his muni,
forgotten until It had been sro iad by th»
conversation at Richmond
Hu-h an as
•rotation of Ideas wss so monstrously
absurd, that he grew angry with himself
for even allowing It to rise up In his
mind ; but there It was. and. spite of all
hla aelf Indignation, be could not thrust
It away.

between them.
A Strangs humor had fallen upon him
since sunset a humor of doubta and
fears, and atrangw, unacknowledged sus
plclona, not <x>nfe«»»d even to himself.
CHAPTER VI.
On the day after th« mrating hetwwn
Constance and Ktalf<>r<t. at about 4 o'ckx-k
In the afternmin. a gentleman waa aeated
before a table covered with p«|«er». In a
private apartment of an old fashioned
hotel. In the nelffaborhoxl of Kt. James
street.
That man was Sir I.aunro I'enrhyddyn

Prswuily tbe servant Daniel, after a
preliminary knock, entered the r.xim to
announce "Master Arthur.”
Ten yrars hsd wrought

little
chsnge upon the ««kt servant's Iron fen
turee. he waa much the same man as we
«leocrlbed him on the day that he fourvl
his young master gating upon the portrait
In th« western turret.
Arthur followed upon th« heels of hla
announcement, ami going up to his father
with a glow of pleasure upon his fsce,
warmly gras;x-«l his hands. But for the
expreraion of the tell tale eyes, a kxiker
on would have thought that Mir Mun««

Arthur to take a ««at oppoait« him.
"Father, you are looking ant Inns—un

"wbat has happened? l*t me know the
worst . your letter has filia l me with ant

“Arthur, you hare now arrived at that

The volunteer ball at Keldon waa a

Constance herself.
Arthur was greatly stru«k both by her
