Beverly was trembling liko u leafjrj
This phase of Ills villainy lmd not o<?'
eurred to her. She was like a bjrd try- j
lug to avoid the charmed eye of the I
serpent.
: "Oh. you?you miserable wretch!" j
she cried, hoarse with anger and de- j
spair. "What a cur you are! You
know you are not speaking the truth. 1
How can you say such things to me?
I have never wronged you"? She was
almost In tears. Impotent with shame
and fear.
"It has been a pretty game of love
for you and the excellent Baldos. You

yon look terrified. It Is for you to
say whether she Is to know or not.
You can bind me to silence. You have
lost Baldos. Take mo and all that I
can give you In hhi stead, and the
world never shall know the truth. You
love him, I know, and there Is lad one

She flew to Yetlve's boudoir, consumed
by rage and mortification. Between
sobs and feminine maledictions she
poured the whole story. In all Its ugliness,
Into the ears of the princess.
