My feelings were the cause cf my
leaving Llmmerldge house. Marfan
Ilalcombe brought to me a realization
of my own heart. "You must leave,"
Fhe said, "not because you are only a
teacher of drawing, but because Lau
ra Fairlle Is engaged to be married."
A few days 'before I left Cumber
land, while walking alone In the ere
nlng. I was confronted by the came
face which had first looked Into mine
on the London high road by night.
nut I was startled leas by Its sudden
reappearance than by my Immediate
recognition of an ominous likeness
between this fugitive from the asy
lum and my fair pupil at Llmmeridgw
house. Still greater was my conster
nation when the woman admitted hav
ing come to the neighborhood for the
o!e purpose of thwarting the proposed
marriage of Laura Fairlle.
I left Llmmerldge house, and soon
after embarked on an expedition to
Central America. The same year Lau
ra Fairlle became the bride of Sir
Perdval Clyde. Bart, and with ber
sister went to live at Blackwnter park
her husband s country estate. Count
Fosco, an audacious and domtneertng
Italian, and his wife were guests of
the household. But all was not as
harmonious as aa English country par
ty should be. Lady Clyde and her sis
ter, as Inseparable and confiding as
ever, felt a perceptible coolness rising
between them and the two gentlemen.
Coolness turned to suspicion and soon
to fear.
Then It was that Lady Clyde met
the Woman In White. The mysterious
