whether Rig, resnrrected, repented,
aud came to get reconciled again !;
or whether to revenge himself on her
for marrying within two weeks, aud
to claim all the property as the price
of secre sy-I am in doubt"
With his doub. came mOrtifica-
ton aud mercenary fears, then a
startling suspicion that Mrs. Rig had
failed in an attempt to poison Rig,
who, recovering in the tomb, had
contrived to burst out, or had been
delivered by suspicious friends.
"She is bitter scold and COM
palmer. Might she not be veno-
nous enough to try to murder me,
also? Jotham Prig, beware
Watch for the return Of this unac-
countable being. and be vigilant at
the interview between the two un-

Mrs. Prig, pale, nervous, mystified
and in terror, said, falteringly,
"This strange fellow must be an
imposter."
aCan't be. Why should he risk
detection, if not Rig?"
"Did he look like this dear pic
ture?"
"Yes; quite as ugly, only more
sepulchral, Are you sure he died
and was buried?"
"Positive, I was away three
days, and when I returned, he was
in his coffin, fast enough. His face
was changed already. His cousin,
the physician, said he died suddenly
of cholera, and we all saw him placed
in the tomb"
"He has broke Jail, then, for he
was surely here to-day"
Mrs. Prig trembled viontly.
"This is remorse! I believe you
poisoned or strangled him. There
ia something wrong about that man's
death. In self-defence, I'll have
the tomb opened, and him exam
