"I have it all marked out" said Chiron,
"and, save the unfortunate mental aber-
ration of Morgiana, there will be no diff

I" But some of the charges against Berk-
ley cannot be proved, and, after all, l fear
we shall be unable to actually criminate
him in the eyes of the law"
"Sir Oliver" Chiron said, while the in
tensity of his feelings was kindled in every
feature, "God never made the heart that
might not be crushed Roosevelt Berkley
has long carried load of sin sufficient to
break the peace of thousand souls, and
feeling of security has sustained him but
let the hand of another hurl these soaring
sins back upon his heart, and will see how
he shall condemn himself. The voice of the
murdered has only spoken to him in his
seclusion, and hence the world has seen
not his reeking soul {; but let another speak
for the unavenged dead-let another inter-
pret the language of that blood that cries
out from the green sod its native land, and
you shall see how like heavens dread thun-
der its trumpet tones shall strike home to
his tortured SOUL"
"You are right" said the baronet, after
few moments reflection and now
when shall we commence ?"
{" We must first look to Orlando's safety
from another arrest for he is still under
commitment"
"That will attend to on the morrow
While you are gone to Mrs. Chester's will

confident l can obtain present bail for the
youth, and conditional pardon"
"Then if that be done, we may go on at
once, Berkley shall know not of the young

his sorrow"

=" By my faith, but Orlando's noble youth.

There's no evil can live behind that face.

to bed. On the rAorrow you shall see Nor

Orlando's peace with the governor"
When Chiron laid his head upon the
pillow that night the sea of his prospects
looked all calm and unruffled, and tire no
rizon was clear. He knew not, he dreamed
not, of the cloud that was gathering over
him, and twas well he did not, for IN hii
ignorance he slept sweetly and soundly.
The sky lark was just mounting upor
her celestial throne of song when Chiron
and Orlando set forth from the mansion ol
Sir Oliver. There had been gentle rair
during the night, but the sun rose clear
and bright, and as it's golden beams begar
to kiss the pearly raindrops asweet fra

thousand messy banks and uHnbrageoui

The canoe was launched, and once NOR
the young hunters heart leaped wildly il
his bosom as his way was marked towards
his forest home. He bent himself to hi
paddle, and all his weakness, aad priva
tions, and his past sufferings, were forgot
ten, as the canoe almost flew up the rolling
river. The landing cove was reached, the
canoe was hauled up among the bushes
and with rapid strides our two friends SCI
off through the path.
AS the opening was gained, the young
hunter locked forth over the garden, to see
if his neither was at her accustomed morn
flowers, the shrubs, and the vine were
there, gkttering with their dewy diamond
drops, but the genius Of the place was alb
sent. A. fear stole through the mind o.
the youth, but he endeavored to push II
from him. He entered the garden, passed
up the vine-elad walk, and az his haAd rest
cd upon the latch low sob broke upon his
ear. Quickly, but yet almost noiselessly
he opened the door and sprang into thu
house. Upon the old oal1en chest sat Elp
sey, with her face running streams Of tears
and her bosom hesying with deep sobs.
As the old woman heard the sound O.
footsteps she raised her eyes from hel
apron, and as they rested upon the form Of
her young master she sprang from her seat
and darted forward.
"God be praised,' uttered the faithful
old creature, as she caught Orlando by the
the arm. He glib my young massa bacl

" But my mother, where is she?p asked
Orlando.
