naturally turned to her brother; and So one
ldayshe sat down and wrote him q letter, in
which she said great many things which
were only intended for his own eyes, Per-
haps NO harm would have followed but
that Carrie mailed the letter with her own
hands, without saying word TO her hus-
band, and that, more by, accident than
ANYTHING else, it was opened and read by
Young married lady, in one of the larger
New England towns, ON the following
day. s a.a Rts.56 s3sls
It was not the same cell that John Al
bany had looked into before, and it was
nearly two weeks, later. The prisoner
was the same, however; and, with all his
confinement, he was hardly as pale as his
worried and badgered looking visitor.
"It's all up, Calebl' amoa H
whats up, john" asb
"Why, this wretched secrecy business
Lucilles coming" istl
sLucilles How do you knows"
''Read that telegram. Got to meet her
at the cars this afternoon"
John Albany had the better in color
now, very decidedly.
ooh, John, my boy, what is to be
done!"
"She must knowt' i. a5
aAnd Carrier" "a,
"We'll see about that. Don't see what
l can do but invite her to the house"
And John Albany looked more like
baited wild animal than ever, % he half
flung himself out of the cell.
John didn't go home to dinner that day,
or he might have discovered that nurse
had been left alone with the baby, -hile

whittier. So, in uncomfortable ignorance
of the dangers that beset him, John went
to the New Haven depot that afternoon,
and waited for lady who should resem-
BILE, as much as possible, the miniature
likeness which had been shown him. And
he found her very readily. There was no
chance for mistsking the striking but ner-
vous looking beauty; and, in fact, as he
advanced to meet her, the trembling lips
parted slightly, just enough to say,
"John Albany?"
"And can this be Lucille ?"
"Oh, John, where is my husband
Why is he not here?"
"He is safe and well, I assure you; and
you shall soon see him"
"But l don't understand! Why is all
this mystery and deception"
II can't explain here" said John !; :" but
If you will get into the carriage will tell
you as we 60"
And John was determined to keep his
word, though he would almost as soon
have been convicted Of burglary. He
was not aware of all his trouble,
however. He had not noticed the
yelled female form that had followed
him into the depot, nor had his ex-
cited and confused faculties taken any
note Of the fact that the same form sprang
lightly into close coupe which drove off
rapidly after the carriage which contained
him and Lucille. When the latter was
pulled up in front of hotel, the coupe also
stopped at little distance, but the yelled
lady did not get out. She leaned forward
to the window, muttering, II knew there
was something of the sort Oh, John
joint How could you" And then the
driver of the coupe received fresh orders,
and drove away rapidly up town.
Lucille had only gone into the hotel to
gather her somewhat shattered senses after
listening to the news impaired by John,
and, on the whole, she had sustained the
shock much better than he had expected.
In a very short time for, with all her
nervousness, she was brave and devoted
wife Lucille declared her readiness 10
hurry off at once to the prison.
|" must stop at my Office for moment"
said John.
"Oh, but | am in such hurry" ex-
claimed Lucille. t III r,E,
"But it's only to leave o law paper
with my partner. He has been at court
all day, and / have not seen him."
Johns office was in very busy part OF
the city, and both he and Lucille had
their heads altogether too full of exciting
thoughts to notice any particular mem
beers of the hurrying thrOngs upon the,
sidewalks Still, as the carriage pulled
up at the curbstone, John said: n
Good l won't have to go up START
There's my partner now. Brown! ~
Brown |"
The gentleman thus addressed had be n
standing on the edge OF the sidewalk, Jas
if waiting for somebody, and now ca ne
forward with a remarkable beaming ex-
preston Of countenance.
"John, my boy it's all right"
Whats all right"
"Why, that Caleb Smith case"
John Albany had to catch his bleath
for a moment; but he stammered, /" H.
how"
"Why, there was whole batch sent
IN this morning; and one of them-t at q
Flash finger Dick-confessed to putting
the money on Caleb's person"
Swell, but what did you do?"
ooh, Judge ~ was as good as Me;
let him right cut, and I've got him up
stairs"
