"I'm not, Uncle David," Joan's eyes shone; she was thinking of Patricia; "but you, everybody, lose a lot if they do not really know the truth about women the real truth." "My dear," David was quite serious, "I'm no longer hard or misjudging I was frightened at your aunt's methods with you, but you're proving me wrong every day." "You should have trusted her more, Uncle David."

A wild, unreasoning yearning superior to time and space and the service of railways got hold upon her. "Come to me," "Come to me," sounded in Joan's ears in the live voice she had loved and lost and found again. An hour's delay, a minute's, a moment's seemed a crime.

Joan's bright eyes turned quickly upon Raymond, who had flushed with boyish pride and pleasure and shame at hearing himself thus praised. Joan listened with flashing eyes and ever-varying colour. At the close of the tale she spoke. "I have heard of that wretched boy the tool and sport of the old man's evil arts, the victim of the son's diabolic cruelty when he has no other victim to torment.

I think the delay may have been caused by temporary difficulties concerning two points: 1. As to who the fiends were who were represented in Joan's Voices; 2. As to whether her saints spoke French only. You understand, the University decided emphatically that it was fiends who spoke in those Voices; it would need to prove that, and it did.

And now there was another voice it was from the other platform pealing solemnly above the din: Cauchon's reading the sentence of death! Joan's strength was all spent. She stood looking about her in a bewildered way a moment, then slowly she sank to her knees, and bowed her head and said: "I submit." They gave her no time to reconsider they knew the peril of that.

Joan's weeping bent and rocked her. He put his arm about her, tried to soothe her. At her cry of "Pierre! Pierre!" he whitened, but suddenly she broke from him and threw herself back amongst the pillows. "'T was you that killed him," she moaned. "What hev I to do with you?"

Hayter; he could almost feel for one second the throb of her heart against his. Then, like a flash, as if all his other thoughts had been but a shifting background for this, the principal one, Joan's face swung up before him. Where had she been going to that night? Who had her companion been? Why had not he had the courage to speak to her, to follow her at least, and find out where she lived?

Dunois conceded that the council did know it to be the most desirable, but considered it impracticable; and he excused the council as well as he could by saying that inasmuch as nothing was really and rationally to be hoped for but a long continuance of the siege and wearying out of the English, they were naturally a little afraid of Joan's impetuous notions.

The team had been standing in a group during the short address. "Really, I hadn't thought about it." Joan's tones were chilling. Nina was a nobody in her estimation and must be treated as such. "You must be most unappreciative." Stung by the snub she had received, Nina spoke straight from her heart. Then she turned and walked away. "Why, the idea!" An angry flush overspread Joan's face.

So for three hours John was face to face with awful death, and Joan on her knees praying for his safety, and John had but just got back to his home, and the cry of thanksgiving for her old dear's return was yet on Joan's lips, when the postman brought the fateful newspaper. Fortunately they did not open it at once. Joan laid it carefully aside and brought on their belated breakfast.
