fully. "Yeu must' have, guessed, dear.

Ker a moment there was silence, then
Audrey murmured : "There is some seme
t(lng else, mamma. Something which
has made you tell mc all this. I want
te hear it all." The daughter of Con
nington was speaking then.
"Lord Connington wants you back."
Censtance spoke with extreme difficulty.
"That day, at the Academy, was the

"Yes, mamma." Audrey was un
naturally culm.
"Today I have written and told him
I will surrender you. It will be best.
As his daughter, you will be what I
could never make you. Yeu will go te
court, you will move among the grcatc'st.
1 am only Constance Brent of the Eres
Club. Se I have told him he may have
you.- It is my payment for my sin."
Audrey get lip and walked te the
window. Her mother steed leaning en
the back of the chair, watching her.
She could net read Audrey's face.'kjit'
she was telling hqrself that this dread
ful, silent calm meant condemnation.
Audrey's upbringing alone must make
her view Inconstancy in a married
woman. with horror.
Audrey came te the window and
stared out through it. Only herself
and Ged knew what passed through
her mind and her heart in these tense
minutes of silence during which Con
stance Brent waited for the world te
topple and crush her.
Then Audrey turned. There was a
wonderful pity in hcreyes, and it trans
formed her face, se that Constance
thought of a, famous picture she once
had seen of the Madenna, tender, see
ing no fault, compassionate.
Audrey steeped and hcrMips pressed
warm and. soft en the back of Cen
stance s hand.
"Mether!"
And Constance knew that her six
teen years of labor had net gene un
rewarded. "Yeu forgive me. dcur?" She whis
pered the sentence incredulously.
"There Is nothing te forgive, mamma.
What mere could you have done for
me?"
Constance sobbed. The reaction was
breaking her. Her face was lined and
stressed.
"And Connington!" she said.
Audrey smiled softly. "Hew teuld
I leave you new?"
"Audrey!"
"One can easily forget the things en
does net wish te remember," continued
Audrey. "There are lets of things I
urn going te forget. But one thing I
shall always remember, and that is hew
my mother worked that I might be
happy, and hew she was willing te give
her heart in sncrlilce for me. In. re
membering thnt I shall have no time te
think of ether things. Mamma, will
)ou kiss mc?"
Censtauce came te her arms like a
child.
They hat long in the quiet room, and
gradunlly Censtance told the details of
her story, aew thnt the storm was
ever, and she had ridden it safely she
was able te talk quite freely and utmost
without 'emotion of her agony of the
past weeks.
When It was all finished Audrey said :
"Mamma, de jeu think Mr. Hurkuess
knew about this?"
Constance hesitated. "He may have
done," she snld slowly. "It wus net"
generally Known, but Harknes had
mnny friends in our set, nnd it is quite
likely that he learnt the truth. Why de
jeu nsk?"
Audrey flushed. "It explains some
thing," she said lamely. "That it all."
The next day a letter came from
Lord Connington, and Constance gave
it te Audrey.
"My Dear Mrs. Brent I have re
ceived your letter, and am pleased te re
mind ou of your invitation te take tea
with you whenever I might be motor meter
ing In jour district. I um hoping In
the near future te avail myself of this
invitation, und shall then be glad te
discuss with you and make final
arrangements, regarding the matter
mentioned In your letter above.
Yours, '
"Connington."
And ley tend it and passed It en te
Aunt Ella.
"I will see him myself when Jie
comes," she snid.
But Aunt Ellu, leading the letter
carefully, told herself thut there wus
something of which Lord Connington
was net sure, und he was giving him
self time te think it ever. She won
dered what it was.
