CHAPTER XV.

Constance followed her friend up to the room where they had so often passed long hours together, wonderingly at Sybil’s composure and seeming resigna- tion, and shudderingly recalling the bland devouring stare of the man who was her husband.

It was the first time since Sybil’s re- turn that they had been alone together, and Constance half dreaded the inter- view, as well as wondered not a little that the opportunity was of Sybil’s own making; hitherto she seemed anxious to avoid a tete-a-tete.

Sybil moved straight on in advance of her friend, and never turned her head nor spoke, until the door of her boudoir had.shut them in; then she turned and faced her companion, uttering as she did so a low mirthless laugh.

**Well!’’ she asked abruptly, ‘“‘how do you like him?’

Constance bent a searching gaze upon her friend, and read her state of mind with a woman’s keen intuition. The tensely strung nerves, the dread of this interview, the determination to have it over, and to bear her part bravely; a proud and stubborn nature, battling with despair, and unspeakable heartache. She understood it all, and her own heart bled for her friend. But, being a wise little woman, she held her pity in reserve, and

replied, as if the question concerned a |

new dancing master :—

“‘I don’t like him at all, child; let’s talk about something more interesting,’’ and she threw herseif down upon a fan- teuil, and tossed off her hat; just as she had tossed it axde a hundred times, in that same pretty room. The simple action, brought a thrill of tenderness, and sad recollection, to the heart of Sybil. She seated herself beside her friend, and her face lost a shade of its bitterness.

‘It's like a shadow of the old days, Con.,’’ she said sadly, ‘‘and the substance I can never have any more. But you must let me talk, I feel as if I must talk, and you will let me say what I will, and ask me nothing. Con., you saw that— that creature down stairs? You saw him, but you did not hear him.’’

She shuddered, and paused for an instant; but Constance did not speak, and so she continued :—

‘Thad made up my mind never to speak of him to you, but the very thing I had dreaded has happened; you have met, and, in the generosity of your soul, for my sake, you have extended to him your hand; have openly accepted his acquaintance. Oh, Con.! I could have

struck him dead before he touched your hand. He! Ah, there is a limit to my forbearance; he has forced himself into my life to blight it; he has forced him- self into my family to be an added curse. But he shall not force himself upon my friends. Con., treat him with the disdain he deserves, else, he will force his way into your very drawing room. Never, never, never, extend to him the courtesies dus to an equal. He is not an equal, he is not a man at all; he is a fat, sleek, leering, ruminating animal, at his best; he is a wolf, a vampire, a devil, at other times; ignorant, vain, avaricious, gross. Rather than see him force himself upoft, you, as he has forced himself upon us here, I will myself sever our friendship, I will never see, never speak with you again. John Burrill shall find a limit, which even his brute force cannot pass.”’ She was growing more and more excited, and a bright spot burned on each cheek. Constance was startled, but fully un- derstanding the necessity for perfect cool- ness, now that Sybil’s composure had almost given way, she never attempted to interrupt the words that were but the overflow of long pent up feelings; but sat quietly stroking one of Sybil’s slender hands, and becoming more amazed and mystified as she listened. | ‘‘Sometimes I find myself wondering at the tenacity of my life,’’ went on ‘vybil, more hurriedly and with increas- g excitement. ‘‘Sometimes I feel my strength leaving me, and think the

battle is over; but somehow it is-renewed, -

and I find myself growing stfong instead of weak. For months I lived with my inevitable fate constantly ‘before my eyes. I knew that there was no escape; that what has transpired, must happen. [ have suffered tortures, passed nights without sleep, and days without food. I have grown 4 little paler, alittle thinner, and a great deal wickeder, and that is all. I am strong, as strong as in the be- ginning, and yet, what am I but a gal- vanized eorpsé? Iam dead to all that is worth living for. My one wish is to be free, and yet, Con., do you know I have never once been tempted to self-destruc- tion.”’

Constance Wardour sprang impetuously to her feet, and paced the length of the boudoir again and again in perfect silence. The terrible weight of torment that was crushing Sybil’s heart, and maddening her brain, seemed to rest, too, upon her, and weigh down her spirits; she was tortured with the sight of Sybil’s misery, and the thought of her own helpless- neas. Could nothing be done? Struggling for an appearance of composure, she paced to and fro, and at last, having mastered her feelings, and arranged her vhoughts, she resumed her seat beside Sybil, whose eyes had followed her move- ments with curiosity.

“Sybil, listen;’’ she began with that clear, concise energy of manner that, in

itgelf. inspired confidence. ‘‘If you do not

Wisn me to make any overtadres of triend-

ship, rest assured I shall make none. I at least am not under the spell whieh this man seems to have thrown about

you all. There, don’t draw back, child, I have no more to say on this part of the subject. I may ask a few questions, how- ever, without treading on forbidden ground. You say John Burrill is avari- cious; can he not be bought off?’’

Sybil shook her head.

“Not with the Wardour estate,’’ she replied, sadly. ‘‘ Not with all our fortunes united?”’

‘“*Cannot he be frightened then?’’

‘*Frightened! You don’t know what you are saying.’’

‘Then, I can think of no other way. He isa bad man; he must have Ied a wicked life; can we not find something in his past, which will place him in our power? Can he not be driven into ban- ishment, through fear of justice?’’

Sybil turned her eyes full upon her friend; eyes dark with the shadow of despair, but unwavering in their sad firmness.

“If that could be done,’’ she said, slowly. ‘‘The very day that witnessed his downfall, would bring about the catas- trophe I have sacrificed myself to avert. Constance, say no more; we can do none of these things; there is no help for me on this side of the grave.’

Constance looked once more at her friend; looked long and earnestly then.

‘*Sybil,’’ she cried, with swift resolu- tion, ‘‘Do you know what you are bring- ing upon yourself? Do you want to go mad, and so be at the mercy of John Burrill? It is what will come upon you if you don’t throw off this torpor. Your eyes areas dry as if tears were not meant to relieve the overburdened heart. Let your tears flow; shake off this lethargy; battle royally for your life; it is worth more than his; do not let him put your reason to flight, and so conquer. Sybil! Sybil!’’

The words ended in a sobbing cry, but Sybil only gazed dumbly, and then looked helplessly about her.

‘*There, there, Conny,’’ she said at last, as if soothing a hurt child; ‘‘don’t mind me. It’s true my life is worth more than his, but—I can’t cry, I don’t feel like crying.’’

**Then laugh,’’ cried Constance desper- ately; ‘‘laugh and defy your tormentor; harden your heart if you must, but don’t let it break.’’

‘*I won't,’ said Sybil, with quiet em- phasis. ‘‘Now come and see my dia- monds, Con.”’

She crossed the room as_ she spoke, bent over a dressing case, and came back with a tray of sparkling newly set jewels.

‘*Bah!’’ she said, as she dropped the glittering things one by one into her friend’s lap. ‘‘How I loved their glitter once, and how I envied your treasure of jewels; now you have lost your treasure, and I have no more love for mine.’’

Constance laughed oddly, as she bent to recover her hat from the floor, where it had lain during their interview.

**Secret for secret, Sybil,’’ she said, with forced gaiety. ‘‘I have one little secret of mine own, and I am inclined to tell it to you, because I know you can appreciate it, and can keep it; and I choose to have it kept. Bend down your head, dear, walls may have ears. Listen.’’

Sybil bent her dark head, and Con- stance whispered a few short sentences that caused her to spring up ereet and excited. ~

‘‘Constance! you are not jesting?’’

‘‘Honestly no. I have told yon the truth, plain and unvarnished.’’

Sybil stood as if transfixed with sur- prise, or some sudden inspiration.

“Why, how amazed you look, dear; after all it’s an old, old trick, and easiiy played. Come, don’t stare at me any longer; put away your diamonds apd come below with me, my ponies must be dying with impatience, and I am anx- ious to avoid our mutual foe, for I make common cause with you, dear, and If have told you my secret, that we may be in very truth, fellow conspirators. Make my adieus to the family, and be sure and come to me just as you used; if your

?

ogre insists upon coming, trust me to freeze him into an earnest desire to be in @ warmer and more congenial place. Courage, mon ami, somehow we must win the battle.’’

Sybil took the diamonds from her hands and put them. away, with far mere care than she had displayed in bringing them forth; then she followed her friend from the room, closing and carefully locking the door behind her.

Constance observed the unusual can- tion, but made no comment. Only when many days after she remembered that day she wondered how ‘she could have been so stupidly blind.

She effected her departure without be- ing seen by Frank or Burrill, and drove homeward, revolving in her mind various plots for the confusion of the latter, and plans for awakening Sybil from the dangerous melancholy that would surely unseat her reason.

“If I could only move her to tears,’’ she murmured, ‘‘only break that frozen calm once. How can I touch, move, melt her? It must be done.’’ And pondering this difficult task, she drove slowly on.

‘*I wonder if I blundered in telling her my secret,’’ she mused. ‘‘T know she will keep it; and yet, somehow, I fear I was too hasty. One would think it had grown too big for me to keep. But, pshaw! it’s not a life and death matter, and J wanted to give a, new impulse to

While she was thus pondering, Sybil Burrill had hurried back to her own room, locked herself in, and with hands clasped and working nervously, Was pac- ing restlessly up and down, as Constance had done a little earlier.

‘It’s the only way,’’ she muttered be- tween shut teeth, ‘‘the only possible And then she unlocked the dress- ing case, took out her jewels once more, handling them with greatest care. She spread them out before her, and resting her elbows on the dressing table, and her chin in the palm of one slender hand, gazed and thought with darkening brew and compressed lips; and with now and
