the "White House lot," the grounds
south of the President s house, bring'
ing bankets of gayly colored eggs and
spending the day rolling them down
the sides of the green knolls and
frassy slopes. The day has gradually
eveloped into an almost universal hol
iday. The White House grounds are given
up to the children from dawn to dark.
Fathers, mothers, sis ers, aunts, and
cousins come to look on, and it is in
deed a beautiful sight to watch them
-as they come from all directions, from
near and from far: even before snnrie
many may be seen waiting at the closed
gates: at o'clock these are cpened

Taere i-i no limit to age; the child who

of the woe tots are accomian'ed by

of the day quite as much as the chil

driven to the grounds; in fact before
noon there is a long line of them, and
the drivers wait for hours while the
little people enjoy the sport
There is a certain way of rolling the
eggs, and the tradition is that those
who roll the greatest number without
breaking auy are to be the most suc

The Earl shut the door of tho library,
an.' drawing a etiuir to tho table
buried his (a-e on hU folded arms.
He was simply t tunned by the news
of Alice's faithlessness and sin: the
vision of her swi-et I eauty haunted
him, and even, when proofs were
strongest against her. the thought of
her innate purity and goodness would
come likes I' ash of light. ,
He remeniliered her as he held her
for that few brief seconds in his arms
that' night in the conservatory: it was
the face of an angel in its fair love
liness.
Such a woman could not sin!
Yet how could ho explain the cir
cumstances? Look which way he
might he saw nothing but tho most
damning and conclusive evidence of
her guilt.
A knock at the door roused him, and
his man Mason entered

"1 can see no one, the l-Jirl replied
hastily.
"He told me to give you this card,
and beg you to see him "for a few min

The Earl took the card.
"Frank Merredith staying with

him come in, Mason.

returned, ushering in Frank Meredith.

his guest's face.
"lou are .looking at me, I see,

Do you remember, & few days ago. you
had a riding partv to the old abbey

The Earl reminated.
"Ves, I remember now. You are

Hoy's voice failed
Frank went on quickly:
LAru itarreu, u is not a moment to
mince matters. I know your trouble.
I think I can appreciate your grief. I
have come hero to tell you I think you
have boon tho victim of some horrible
treachery."
Hoy s. heart stood still, .then Deat
quicker than ever.
"Go on, he said in low tones.
"I had tha honor of ashort conversa
tion with Lady Darrell, that morning
at the ruins and, thinking her a neg
lected, torrowful woman, urged by
some strange feeling I begged her to
let mo lo her friend. After a mo
ment's hesitation she agreed, and I
handed her two cards with my ad dross,
one at the Grange and the other in
London. She promised me if sho ever
needed help she would aend for me.
Have those cards teen discovered?"
Hoy rose hurriedly.
"I "will ring for her maid and ask."
He paced the lloor In wildest agita
tion till Davis came. How ho re
proached himself! A stranger had
read her misery, anu ne was ounu.
Davis knew nothing of tho cards.
"I have looked through everything,
my lord," she said, coming back after
a time. "They are nowhere. My dear
mistress left all her clothes. She had

The Earl waved her away.and Frank
only waited till the maid had gone.
Then he walked up to the Earl.
"Did you bear that? Would any wo
man deliberately go away in this damp
cold weather, clad only in a dressing
gown? I am convinced there Is some
treachery. Listen: I came over here
at Armiwtead's request. Lastnlghtwe
were sitting up late, when we heard a

"Lo!" echoed Frank; "put the de

you ride with me now as far as the

tind out something.
"I.et us start at once. Have you a

CHAI'TEK XII.
Alice lay unconscious half through
tho night that followed her alxluc
tion; sue tossed and turned in her
fever; her liw murmured words inco
herently: her small hands were held
out as if tiegging for pity.
She knew not that Myra Burden sat
beside her through the silent hours
long after the voices had sunk down in
the next room, patiently and tenderly
watching and tending her.
The chloroform hai made her fever
ish: tho shock of seeing Count Jura
simply prostrated her,
A vague dream of horrors filled her
brain. Valerie's malignant face, Count
Jura's dark eyes, haunted her like de
mons: then for a moment would come
blessed happiness, as Hoy's tender,
handsome countenance floated before
her, only to melt again into terrifying
figures of Myra and her mother, bring
ing that sense of dread and horror.
'Yes.'' mused Myra, an she sat in the
long night silence, ever and again
moistening Alice's parched lips with
water: -'she is here against her will
and knowledge, he has evidently car
ried her away drugged and Insensible.
Who is she? A lady, her hands are

I ''yes, there was a look on his face he

As she pondered, Alice moved over
restlessly; the actions caused two cards
to fall from her po ket to the ground.
Myia picked them up.
"'Frank Meredith, the Grange.'
Why that's the next plant! Is he a
friend, or perhaps her husband. The
same name 'Savile row. London!'
This is luck. I will keep them, and
George shall find out."
The words died away In a stilled
shriek, a hand was placed over her
mouth, another snatched the cards
from her.
This was done by Count Jura: he had
pushed aside the curtains nolBelessly;
i nao waicneu mo gin sitting ijuicuy,
had listened to her half-whiHj.ered
! musings, and when sho picked up tho
' cards ho dashed forward and grasped
; them.
"So. you viper, you are planning
against me, are you.'" he hissed, draw
im.' her by a tigfit holt, into the other
vault. "Treacherous - eh?"
"Yes, treacherous if you like,'' Myra
answered sullenly, snatching her arm
from his hand: '-though it is not from
you such words should come, George
Vox.'
"Hush!" Count Jura, glanced round
fearfully ''dare to breath that name
again and I'll "
"Kill mo? Well, dolt. What have
got to live for.' You've treated mo
like the dirt under your foot, George."
Myra flashed her great black eyes on
him like scorching stars. "Do you
ever think of my ruined heart, of all

"1 know all about that," returned the
man, coolly. "I am not in the mood
for recrimination, Myra, so I tell you
plainly."
'Have you forgotten all you swore to
me? Have you forgotten your promise
that I should bo your wife.'"
"Yes," he said, quietly with a sneer.
Myra shrank back; his crueUcoldness
cowed her, she could say no more. She
turned, and sinking on to a mattress,
burled her face in her hands.
The Count frowned, then ho ap
proached her.
"There, Myra, don't bo a fool! We
have had our sunshine, and it is gone,
liut we noedn't quarrel, we are friends,
you and I, Myra; I can't do without
you, I swear it'"
"George, do you m'-an that?"
The words had gone through tho girl
like an electric shot. .
"Mean it? Of course 1 do! There
give me a kiss to mend the quarrel."
Myra shrank back. Then a thought
seemed suddenly to come to her, she
lifted her 111 for the careless caress;
but as the Count turned aside for an
instant, she brushed away the touch
with a shudder.
"Now you are my wise Myra once
more. I want your help. This plate
must be got to Ncstley town, en route
for London, in tha morning. You will
take it?" Ho glanced at her Ind I fie r-atlr.

the lio.uor is in her. We must all move
up to headquarters as soon as the job
is done at the Grange, and I come
back. You will do all I ask, Myra?"
"Ves." Myra answered, slowly, then
she added, "And she does she stay
here wah me?"
Co int Jura hesitated.
"Ves," he replied: then with a care
less nod he went out through the cur
tains into the assage, to the corner in
which the men slept
Myra stood glaring after him.
"He lies to my face. Traitor! cow

CMAITKK III.
Myra crept lmck to the inner room.
Alice was not awake, but sho was mur
muring in her sleep.
The other girl drew a rug over the
stone lb or and ciouched down on it to
get a littio rest.
she burned with a fever of pain,
jealousy, and shame in her heart, but
her hanuH were cold as ice.
As she lay down on the rug the mem
ory of by-gone days came to her-dim
visions of a tiny house and shop in a
crowdi ii city, where her mother was
busy all day.
She could barely remember her
father, though away in tho misty past
she seemed to recall a tall, dark man
who returned but seldom to his home,
and always t'tssed her on his shoulder
and played with her.
Sho knew now that he had been 8
sailor, anil that he was dead. Then
years passed and she could see plainer.
Her mother left the sho) they lived
in - a dingy, dirty locality; their lives
were strange. Housed at tho dead ol
night to admit men with bundles and
packages, she learned to know them
ail. and as she blossomed from a bud
into a lovely flower, she grew to wel
come one wkh a flutter at her heart.
For Geoii?P she hail always a sinilf,
and in return she got many stolen
glimpses of happiness.
George admired her beautv. lie
loved to deck out her dark locks Id
glittei ing jewels, clothe her in silken
robes, and let her walk alxiut the
dingey house like tome beautiful star
caught in a prison.
Myra loved this man with all the
warmth and passion she inherited from
her Spanish father. Her mother cared
nothing aliout the intimacy one way or
another, except that, sho let Myra
amuse George; it kept him in a good
terrier, and he was a man to be feared
and fawned to.
Ho was the most daring of tho whole
gang; a gentleman by birth, of unex
ceptional manners, be mingled with
the very jicople whose houses he
robtnjd.
Myra waa IS when she first realized
what her mother's calling wan-the
receiver of stolen goods! It did not
shock her. x
She had no knowledge of the sin it
was. Her companions had kept her In .
the dark so long, merely to prevent
her talking, and when she knew the
truth she was inditterent. George was
one of them, and what George did was
hallowed in her eyes.
But there came a time when Myra'e
dream was shattered.
George wearied of her love; he come
loss o.'ten: then he announced that it
was decided between Haul I toss and
himsell that he should go to Italy, got
introduced to Hoy Darreil, become hit
friend and thus rob Darrell Catlo ol
some of its world-famous treasures.
The whole gang was ordered tc find
their way to the Abbey ruins.
Haul Boss know them well: he had
lived in their nipuldy vaults during
the whole time his sister was luxuri
ously lodged as Iady Barrel's guest.
Vith sullen sorrow Myra went aliout
her work.
George went off to Italy without a
word, and dosqair and grief had eaten
her heart nearly nway when the build
ing fire of jealously was added to her
burden, and transformed her at once
into a woman full of cares and thought
of veil geance.
Alice's lair loveliness was a sight
that brought the flush of agony to her
dark cheek; tho knowledge that
George loved her was a very sword
thrust Into her bleeding heart, and
filled her eyes with unshed teau.
