Ail her gentleness then was hypo- crisy, and you are left to guess what remains behind.” Had Briggs come expressly to heap coals of fire on the head of the unfortunate painter, he | could not more maliciously have chosen his words. I asked him what was the source of this change in his opinion of the widow. «I can't tell,” he said « It “was only be- cause I vestordsy madea few innocent remarks on wer portrait, and when we got into the brougham, she was in sucna tantarem!

Instead ot that, I find him willing to break his leg on the chunce of getting tid of her,” Briggs returned, crushing @ note in his hand, and showing the greatest agitation. Weasked him if anything was the matter, if there was auy tad news. “No,” he said, “nothing. At least nothing unexpected.” «Yon seem put out.” “Yet I ought tobe jolly—highly so.
