therefore, resolved to proceed thitlier Al r
,nce, as if he were only arriving from b
be village where be had left bis servants, i
md 10 trust that no one would ever sus- 0

ietour into the domain of his enemy 5
This plan succeeded perfectly he was

doing well; SO that no doubt was Ter
moment entertained that be had ever d.
waited from the road he had been expect
ed TO take, and he had once more started
for Edinburgh before the news Of the
murder had spread beyond Inverary.-
Nevertheless, when the fact did become
known, it created a great sensation, chief
ly owing to the peculiar circumstances OF
the case--a murder committed By an un-I
know assassin in presence Of one sole
witness, and that one deprived of the
power of seeing The murderer, was, even
in those days Of 5loodshed, q striking
event and the mysterious escape Of the
criminal seemed altogether unaccouuta-
bic.
The Marquis of Argyle, who was at
his castle on the fatal night, left no stone
unturned in his efforts to discover the
perpetrator of the deed being stimulai-
ed to unusual activity in the search, by
the strong suspicion he entertained that
the assassin was in some way connected
with the family of bis foes, the Hamiltons,
This he gathered from conversation be-
tween the murderer and his victim; which
Elispeth detailed word for word, but il
afforded no clue whatever to the actua
individual, and Kenelm himself was ney
e er suspected.
. After a few weeks Of useless iuvesti
e cation, the search was given up but th'
n details of the murder were carefully re
1t corded by the court of justice, and th
IS Lord of Argyle declared that if ever j
d his lifetime the assassin was discovered
e he would bring him TO the scafold be th
r, interval ever so long. EIspeth found
ID home in the Marquis household, aftf
= the good old fashion of those times, whic
IN recognized a claim on the part Of all Il
le helpless and afflicted of the elan TO ind
Iy refuge with the family of their chief, ar
ds Kenelm had, to all appearance, escape
d, with perfect impunity.
IS Yet lie, gay and thoughtless as
in, seemed, was secretly haunted by oI
on dark foreboding, which never feft hi
