CHAPTER XIII,

Evening came, and still Belinda was left alone. Her supper was broasht to her room

upon her, and 8he ate sparing:y. When the servan came to take the things away, Be- licda asked her it Major Fi zGcrald was io the house.

‘No ma‘am,’ the woman answered. ‘ He went out after supper.’

* And was there another man with him ?’

* Yes w—a Mr Dancon—a very fine gentle. man. Perbups yoo know ‘im?’

* 1 have seen him,’ answered Belinda with a shudder * But do you know if he is com- back bere ?’

‘No, ma’am, I don’t. I should think, though, he was goin’ away somewhere, for | heard ‘em talkiu’ absut soma place some- where,’

With this explicit piece of information the womun left the room, end Bel.nda retired once more to her sleeping room. Nine o’clock struck, and as she was sure of having no visitors atter that hour ee retired. For & long time she laid awake and pondered upon the scene of the alternoon, She re- membered all that P.izGerald bad promised | her, but she knew not now how much con fidence ste cou'd place in him. She had to tecl towards him asa child shouid teci | to Wards its parent, b.t she had vos yet been jable to realize them. S.e then wondered it (she owed such a man the duty uf a child, | Here ter heart answersi one way, and ber judgment anuther. Her hear: said. Nu; but when she came to think of the abreelute tie between a child and its father she could pot apswer 80 readily. Yet upon oe point she resvived belure she slept; Lt the sut of Ab- )ner Dauton was pressed upon her, and ber new tuund futher attemmpied to con-umats such # union, she Would make her escupe if she could.

Un the following murning Belinda had j her bieaklasi brought to ter as usual, and | alter she tud eaten it 6;e was left alone uutil near (he middie of the afternuvon. tt wus about ten o'clock when she heard a step npon the stairs which she knew to be the mi jor 8s, and ere long the dour was Opr ned }aud F.izGeraid entered,

But the major’s laugh was a sardonic one. | It same out at spasmodic ‘ntervals, and was surely forced. He ied the way up stairs, and oe he reached the landing it was surely | izhter.

* Where's Tom?’ he asked of the woman, who still remained below.

* Up in the next story,’ squawked the hag.

|The major opened the one to the left and)

handed Belinda in, and then followed ber. The apar ment to which they thus gaised ac- cess was of a medium size, perhaps sumie twelve feet square, or more, and very well turnished. It contaimed a dark, cherry table, four common chairs, one rocking chuir, # sort of couchlike sofa, covered with Nankin stuff, and @ wash-stand and dressing table wad glass,

* Take off our bonnet, Belicda,’ said Fitz Gerald, as he sat down.

* We won't stop long, er?’ returned the maiden, interrogatively.

* No, not jong ’

* Tnen { wont remove anything. I shoald like to get home eoon.’

‘ *Twont take ve long to get home after we start You know we came a round-about way In coming, but the way hom is pearly straight Bot it’s curious where Tom ss. You wold on a minute, and [1] go and find nim.’

* You will not be long away,’ said Belinda

shuddering. ‘No, no, not long—of course not. I'm only going tu find old Tom, Lil be right ' back, right awey. Um only atter Tum—I wonder were the fellow w? He ought to be here. Zonude! he’s a sad dog—Tom is. J won ¢ be jong Belinda. Guod by. Ua, ba ha, one would think I was going away, to hear me talk goud by so. fom Tow!

As te major closed this strange courgs of remark he ojened the do r and passed out, and the last part of his speech was spoken in | the tall He ¢ osed the door alter hum. and

There were two windows in the apartment, one looking to the west, towards Cambridge, ud the other to the south towards Valley Acre and Bacon Hill To the west she could look dow. over the water.
