waa to laat alwaya. After a while

avlah of my enreaaea and worda of love;
it might tire blm to be loved ao In-

grew cold and dlatant; at tlmea poal-
llvely ill-natured. Once he atruck me:
hut I forgave him the blow, hecauae he
had taken loo much wine. He laughed
me to acorn, and called me by a foul
name that I cannot repeat. That night
he aaked me to go out boating with
him. I prepared myself with alacrity,
for I thought he waa getting pleased
with me and perhapa would comply
with my request. Are you weary of
my atory, Louie?"
"No. no. Oo on. I am llatenlng to
you, Arahel."
"It waa a lovely nlgnt. The stars
gleaming like dropa of molten gold, and
the moon looked down, pure and serene
and holy. Paul waa unusually silent,
and I was quiet, waiting for him to
-peak. Suddenly, when we reached the
middle of the river, he dropped the oars,
and we drifted with the current. He
sprang up, his motion nearly capsizing
the frail boat, and taking a step toward
me. faatencd a rough hand upon my
shoulders. 'Arabel,' he said, hoaraely
'your power over me m among the
things of the pant. Once I thought I
loved you, but It was merely a passion
which soon burned Itself out. After
that, I grew to hate you; but. because I
had taken you away from home and
friends. I tried to treat you civilly.
Your caresses disgusted me. I would
gladly have cast you olt long ago. If I
had had but the shadow of a pretext

have no further use. There is no dis-
grace In the grave—and I consign you
to Its dreamless sleep!' The next mo-
ment the boat was capsized, and I was
floating in the water. I cried aloud In
his name, beseeching him to save me.
and got only his mocking iaugh In re-
turn. as he struck out for the shore.
I could not swim, and I felt myself
sinking down—down to unfathomable
depths. 1 felt cold as ice; there was a
deafening roar In my cars, and I knew
no more."
"My poor Arabel, I could curse the
villain who did this cowardly thing,
but he is dead, and In the hands of
God."
"When I woke to consciousness. 1
was lying in a rude cottage, and two
persons, unknown to me—a man and a
woman-were bending over me. apply-
ing hot flannels to my numbed limbs
and restoratives to my lips. I had
some articles of jewelry en my person,
of some considerable value, and with
these I bribed the persons who had
taken me from the river to cause Mr.
Llnmere to believe that I had died.
They were rough people, but they were
kind-hearted, and I owe them a large
debt of gratitude for their thoughtful
care of roe. But for It I should have
died in reality. As soon as I was able
to bear the Journey I left France. Lin
mere had already closed the cottage
and gone away—none knew whither,
but I was satisfied he had departed for
the United States. I left France with
no feeling of regret, save for I*o, my
faithful hound. I have shed many b«
ter tears when pondering over the
probable fate of my poor dog "
"Be easy on that subject, Arabel. 1

been traveling on the continent and
were about returning home.
mained with them until I had acc umu-
lated sufficient funds to defray my ex-
penses across the Atlantic, and then 1
set out on my Journey. 1 came to New
York, for that had been Mr. Llnmere's
home before we went to France. 1 soon
got upon the track of him, and learned
that he was about to be married to a
Miss Margaret Harrison, a young lady
of great beauty, and with a lnrge for-
tune. I wanted to see her; for you
must know that I had registered a fear-
ful vow of vengeance on Mr. Paul Lln-
mere, and I desired to Judgd for myself
If It would fall heavily on the woman
he was going to marry. For even vio-
lently as 1 had loved him I now hated
him.
"I saw Misa Harrison. I accosted
her In the street one day, as any com-
mon beggar would have done, telling
her a pitiful story of my poverty. She
smiled on me. spoke a few words of
comfort, and laid a piece of gold In
my hand. Her sweet face charmed me.
I set myself to find out if she cared for
the man she was to marry. It hau all
been arranged by her father years be-
fore. I understood, and I felt that her
heart was not interested.
"After learning that, nothing could
have saved Paul Llnmere. His fate
was decided. Twice I waylaid him in
the streets, and showed him my pale
face, which was not unlike the face of
the dead. And as he believed that I
was drowned, the sight of me filled him
with the most abject terror. How I
enjoyed the poor wretch'B cowardly
horror!
"The night that he was to be married
I lay in wait for him at the place
where the brook crossed the highway.
I had learned that he was to walk up
alone from the depot to the house of
his expectant bride, and there I re
solved to avenge my wrougs. I Btepped
before him as he came, laid my cold
hand on his arm and bade him follow
me. He obeyed. In the most abject sub-
mission. He seemed to have no will of
hli own, but yielded himself entirely
to me. He shook like one with the
ague, and his footsteps faltered so that

In his ear. 'The river could not hold
my secret! And thus I nvenge myself
for all my wrongs!'
I struck one blow; he fell to the
ground with a gurgling moan. 1 knew
that I had killed him, and I felt no re-
st the thought. It seemed a very
pleasant thing to contemplate. I
stooped over him to assure myself he

waa gruwing cold. It stuck me
through and through with a chill of
unutterable horror. I fled, like one
mad, from the place. I entered a train
of cars which were Just going down to
the city, and In the morning I left New
York and came here. I fell sick. The
terrible excitement had been too much
for me, and for weeks I lay In a stupor
which was the twln-jtstcr of death.
But a strong constitution triumphed,
and I came slowly back to health. I
had some money on my person at the
time I was taken III, snd happening to

Irish woman, at whose door I had
asked for a glass of water, 1 was nursed
with the care that saved my life.
"But I have never seen a moment
of happiness since. Remorse has
preyed on me like a worm, and once be-
fore this I have been brought face to
face with death. Now I am going
where I sent him. God be merciful!"
"Amen," responded Louis fervently.
It wan very still In the room. Cas-
tranl sat by the bedside, wailing for
her to speak. She was silent so long
he thought she slept, and stooped over
to ascertain. Yes, she did sleep. In
this world she would never waken
more.

first train for
Llgbtfleld.
It was sunset
hen he reached the dwelling of Nurse
Day. Margaret was sitting on the ver
anda, with Leo by her side. The hound
ran down to the gate to give the visitor
a Joyful greeting, and Margaret de-
scended the steps and held out her hand.
She was very kind, and almost cordial,
for she respected Castranl with her
whole heart, and Bhe was pleased to see
him.
am very glad to see you, Mr. Cas-
tranl," she remarked, leading him into
the sitting room, "and so also will be
Nurse Day when she returns. She has
gone to a prayer meeting now. And I
especially pleased to see you Just at
this time because I am thinking of re-
turning to New York, and 1 hope to
persuade you to give me your escort,
If it will not be asking too much."
"To New York? Indeed that is de-
lightful Intelligence for the five hun-
dred dear friends who have deplored
your absence so long! I had feared
sometimes that you Intended to remain
here always."
"I almost wish I cculd—life has been
so peaceful here. But I must go back
sooner or later, as well now as at any
time. I think I am strong enough to
bear It," she added, sadly.
"Miss Harrison, I want to tell you a
story."
She drew back from the hand he laid
on hers, and her air became cold and
repelling. He divined her fears, and
smiled a melancholy smile.
"No, not that. Do not fear. I shall
never again trouble you with the story
of my unfortunate passion. I must go
through life without the blessing that
would have made this world a paradise.
It is not that of which I would speak,
and you need have no apprehension for
the future. God helping me, I will
never say to you a single word that a
brother might not say to a dearly be-
loved sister."
She put her hand into bis.
"I wish I could love you, Louis Cas-
tranl," she said, solemnly. "You de-
serve my heart's best affections: but
for me love is over! I have had my
day, and it Is set. But you shall be
my brother, my dear, kind brother
Louis! Oh, It Is sweet to know that In
this false world there Is one heart loyal
and true!"
"Margaret, there is more than one
true heart in the world, as you will
acknowledge when I have told you my
little story. I know now why you dis-
carded Archer Trevlyn. You thought
him guilty of the murder of Paul Lln-
mere!"
A ghastly pallor overspread her face;
she caught her breath in gasps, and
clutched frantically the arm of Cas-
tranl.
"Hush!" she said. "Do not say those
dreadful words aloud; the very walU
have ears sometimes! Remember their
utterance puts the life of a fellow mor-
tal In peril!"
"Have no fear; I am going to right
the wrong!"
"Leave his punishment to God. It
would kill me to see him brought be-
fore a hissing crowd to be tried for
his life. Oh. Mr. Castrani, I implore
you—"
"Calm yourself, child. I shall never
knowingly Injure Mr. Trevlyn. He de-
serves no punishment for a sin he never
committed. He Is guiltless of that
deed as you are yourself!"
"Guiltless—Archer guiltless!" she
cried, her face wearing the pitiful,
strained look of agonised suspense. "I
do not quite comprehend. Say it again
—oh, say It again!"
"Margaret, Archer Trevlyn never
lifted a hand against Paul Llnmere
—never! He is innocent before God
and the angels!"
She dropped her head upon her hands
and burst Into tears—the first she had
shed since that terrible night when
that blasted revelation had, aa she
thought, sealed up the fountain of tears
forever. Castranl did not seek to
u>olbe her; he Judged rightfully that
■be would be better for thla abandon-
ment to a woman's legitimate source ot
relief. Bhe lifted her wet face at last-
but what a change was there! The
transparent palenesa had given place
to the aweet wild rose color which had
once made Margie so very lovely, and
the sad eyes were brilliant aa atars
through the mist of tears.
"I believe It—yes, 1 believe It!" sho
said softly—reverently. "I thank Ood
for giving me the aasuranre. You tell
me so. You would not unlesa It were
true!"
"No, Margaret; 1 would not," replied
Castranl, strongly affected. "Heaven
forbid that I should raiae hopes which
I cannot verify. When you are calm
enough to understand I will explain It
fully."
"I am calm now. Go on."
"I must trouble you with a little,
only a little, of my own private history
In order that you may understand what
follows. I sin. as you know, a Cuban
by birth, hut my father, only, was
Spanish. My mother was a native of
Boston, who married my father for love
and went with him to his Southern
home. I was sn only child, and when
I was about twelve years of age my
parents adopted a girl, seme four years
my Junior. She was the orphan child
of f.oor parents, and was possessed of
wonderful beauty and Inielllgence. To-
gether we grew up. and no brother and
sister loved each other more fully than
we. It was only a brotherly aud sister-
ly love- for I was engaged st sixteen
to Ines de Nuncio, a lovely young Span-
ish girl, who was cruelly taken away
from me by the hand of violence, as you
know. Arnbel grew to girlhood, lovely
ns an hourl. She had many suitors, but
she favored none, until he oarae -Paul
Llnmere! Ill health had driven him to
Cuba to try the effect of our Southern
air, and soon after his arrival he be-
came acquainted with Arabel. He was
very handsome and fasoiuatlng, and
much sought after by the fair ladles of
my native town. Arahel was vain, and
his devoted attentions flattered her.
while his handsome face and fescinat-
Ing address won her love. And before
my parents had begun to ascertain any
danger from Llnmere's society she had
left everything snd fled with him.
"My mother was plunged Into grief,
for she had loved Arabel like an own
child, and the uncertainty of her fate
I think hastened my mother's death.
My father left no means untried to dis-
cover the whereabouts of the erring girl
- but in vain. For years her fate was
shrouded In mystery. My parents died.
Inex wns taken from me. and weary
and heartsick I came to New York,
hoping to find some distraction In new
scenes and among a new people.
"The day before you left New York
I received a message from Arabel Vere.
She was In Boston ill unto death.
She wanted to see me once more; and
she had a sin upon her conscience
which she must confess before she
died, and she must confess it to no per-
son but myself. In obedience to this
summons I hurried to Boston, and the
same train that carried ine carried you
also.
"I found Arabel but a mere wreck ot
her former self. Her countenance told
me how fearfully she had suffered.
She was ill, in a wretched room, with
no attendants or medical aid. 1 had
her Immediately removed to lodgings
suitable for her, and provided a nurse
and a physician. From this time she
began to mend, and in a couple of days
the physician pronounced her out ot
immediate danger. When she knew
her life waB to be prolonged she re-
fused to make the confession she had
summoned me to hear. So long as
there was any prospect of her recovery,
she said, she must keep the matter a
secret. But she could not die and leave
it untold. Therefore, she promised
that whenever she should feel death
approaching she should send again for
me, and relieve her soul by the con-
fession of her sin. A few days ago
came her second summons.
"Previous to this, only a little while,
I had been Inadvertently a listener to
an altercation between Archer Trevlyn
and his wife, during which Mrs. Trev-
lyn. In a fit of rage, denounced her hus-
band as the murderer of Paul Llnmere.
She produced proofs, which I confess
struck me as strangely satisfactory,
anil affirmed her belief in his guilt.
She also told him that because the
knowledge of his crime bad come to
