For a second Rylton winces, then his fingers close even more tightly over the paper he is holding, and a cynical smile crosses his lips. "You believe much in money," says he. "I have reason to do so," coldly. The strange smile on his lips has caught her attention, and has killed the more vehement form of her passion. "It induced you to marry me! Your mother told me so!"

And catching sight of Siward outside in the starlight, divined perhaps something of her hostess' meaning, for she laughed uneasily, like a child who winces under a stern eye. "You don't suppose for a moment," she began, "that I have " "Yes I do. You always do." "Not with that sort of man," she returned naïvely; "he won't." Mrs.
