The steward knelt by the corpse, disen-
gaging the pistol from the stiff grasp of
the dead. He looked at it with won.
dering, bewildered eyes, and said:
1t has never been loaded "
Then the old squire understood it all
--he understood that his boastful, pro-
voking words had aggravated Hugh to
put his courage to the test, in the hope
of convincing him there is no trial of
bravery between honest man and rob-
ber. And the squire understood also
that had that unloaded pistol been what
it seemed, he, the honorable Coran Of
Corau; had only escaped by lie !

the two deferental officers of justice
came and stood at either side Of haty~
mer Coran, and his own servants fell
back in horror and dismay. Alas ! for
the twice bereaved women, who sat
waiting and weeping, and as yet hoping,
in the proud old castle towers
Latymer Coran was spared the igno-
miny of trial-he did not even live to
hear that the coroner's jury returned
verdict of misadventure." The stout
old hea rt was broken. Hugh's funeral
was delayed but single day, that his
grandfather and he, "the last of the
Corans," might be buried together
Their names the murderer and the mur-
dered, were written on one tablet. Not
word was said of the ancient and hon.
orable lineage, nor of the tragedy in
in which both lives closed-only their
ages, the old man and the boy, and the
