Hhe could not pre tend any deep aurrow for the loss Of n man who had been c ruel, neglectful and almost brutal to her; but the time she bud been absent from him had In a meas ure softened the harshness of the prevl- cilia memorise, and the aad fate which bud otei-taken him forbade In her forgiv ing heart the angry remembrance of past w rouge. "Perhaps, sunt,” she sold. In a low. re gretful voice, "If I bed tceeu more for bearing end Iras provoking to him be might have bec-u different all the time." Lady M ar ion looked up from ber book.
