136 THE FACKHK OF ROSENFEL, drew up with a sudden pull upon the reins. Then she bent over and seemed to call to him in a low voice. Mr. Dye started out of his abstraction and looked up to find himself face to face with her. Even at the dis- tance which intervened between herself and the scene, Miss Maxey fancied she saw the man’s sallow face turn to a deadher pallor and his jaw drop. He certainly staggered for an instant like a drunken man, and then stood motionless in the middle of the sidewalk, staring at the woman in the carriage. ‘he woman spoke again and beckoned to him. At this Mr. Dye roused himself, threw a hasty glance over his shoulder in each direction, as if calculating the chances of fight, and ended by stepping out into the street and entering into a conver- sation. All this time Miss Maxey was coming nearer and nearer. If she could only hear one little sentence of what they were saying she thought it would be some satisfaction to her, but unfortunately she was on the other side of the way and she did not dare to cross over. She did not dare even to look unduly toward the point where all her interest was centered, for the reason that the woman seemed to be suspicious of everything about her. Even in the midst of her conversation with Mr. Dye, which seemed to be conducted, on her part, with much earnestness and emphasis, she glanced up and down the street in a cautious, uneasy manner, and looked at Ellen fixedly. It was when she looked at her thus directly that Ellen first became aware of a vague and but half-active impression that she did not see this face now for the first time.
