Miss Ludington's hands trembled as they lay together in her lap, and she was regarding the picture of the girl over the fireplace with a fixed and intense gaze, apparently oblivious of all else.
Paul broke the silence.

"I am going to see this woman," he said, quietly.
"You need not think of going with me, aunty, unless you care to.

I will go alone." "Do you think I shall let you go alone ?" replied Miss Ludington, in a voice which she steadied with difficulty.

"Am I not as much concerned as you are, Paul ?" "Where does this Mrs.Legrand live ?" Paul asked Mrs.Slater.
"I really can't tell you that, Mr.De Riemer," she said.

"It was sometime ago that I attended the seance I spoke of, and all I recall is that it was somewhere in the lower part of the city, on the east side of the Broadway, if I am not mistaken." "Perhaps you could ascertain her address from the friend of whom you spoke, if it would not be too much trouble ?" suggested Miss Ludington.
"I might do that," assented Mrs.Slater.
