Three years after the above occur
rences, a young man lay sick to death
upon his bed, raving in his delirium
to see Mr.. Redfeld, the father of the
murdered Isabel. SCI ess
Mr.. RedGeld stood beside the dy-
ing coueh of the man who was to
have been the husband of his daughter.
szaI am sorry to see you so low, my
poor Augustus said Mr.. Redfield,

who stabbed Isabel!' exclaimed the
young man wildly.
All were horrified at these words.
His mother and sister imputed them
to the delirium of his disease; but
when he grew more calm, and sol
emnly repeated his asseverations, they
were forced to believe him.
Before his death, he narrated all
the particulars of his unnatural deed.

from the time the handsome Stern
berg entered her fathers house, had
smiled less graciously upon the affi-
anced Augustus Raymond. Stung
to madness, by jealousy, he had
watched them together, had heard Is

as a meeting place, saying she had

thereluctance of Sternberg--heard the
passionate Isabel avow her love for
him, and urge him to make her his
wife. Sternberg refused her gently
but firmly. At first she was angry
but he soothed her into quiet, and
left her, after confessing that he loved
another. She acquitted him of at
tempting in the slightest to gain her
love, and as he turned to depart, she
smiled sweetly upon him and said
she would try to forget him, except
with the love of a sister, but that none
others could ever supply his place IN

Perfectly infuriated with passion,
Augustus Raymond stood before her
upon Sternberg's departure, and re-
preached her more like demon than
a man, with her perfidy.a a5Jl0
Her manner was so naughty and
indignant, that, insane with jealousy
and passion, her discarded lover plum
ged the fatal steel into her fair bosom,
and then dashing into the tbicket,
made his escape with the cunning
caution that eluded the eyes Of all;
and locking the fearful secret up In
his own breast, he escaped without
being suspected even Of the foul deed.
The repentant lover died, and the
father Of the murdered girl wished
to make reparation to the falsely ac-
cused Sternberg.
Finding the turn affairs had taken,
Fanny Talbot confessed to her father,
with a countenance suffused with
bushes, that she knew the hiding
place of the acquitted lido. She
had corresponded with him faithfully
in his exile.
A few weeks more and the now
happy Sternberg returned to his
friends, more highly in favor than be
had ever been before. ~
1t was with a proud and exulung
heart that the fond father placed his
daughters hand in that Of lido
Sternberg, who under an assumed
name, had won both fortune and fame
during his exile.-wbo had also proved
himself in all ways SO worthy OF the
trust, now reposed in him: the sacred
trust Of the safe keeping Of loving
woman happiness and heart.
