Thus they continued talking till late
when with the rest of the household, they
were wrapt in slumber.
The'next informing came bright and chee
ry. By this time Grayson and Flora were
completely bound in each others confidence

they were together. They had often walk,
ed and rode together, since the first evening.
and alrea " their vows were rightel-
they were engaged to wed. Time passed
on pleasantly with the family, except OF
the part of Mr.. Irvine. whose mind was oc-
casionally clouded with misgivings as the
time of his unexpIainable journey approach
ed. At length the day arrived. The
horse was equipped, and Mr.. Irvine was a.
bout to mount, when he was accosted by
three men riding towards him at Il rapic
rate. They were rough and ungainly ii
their appearance; as they approached, bear

consequence of which we pushed our horse
hard to get here before you might start 70
Salem.
"But this business Mr.. Morton; are yo

rupted Irvine.

"but nevertheless your presenceis indispen

"You know nothing of hemurder then?'
