CHAPTER LV.
MRS. CoMPToN's SECRET.

On the night after the arrival of John,
Brandon had left Denton. He did not re-
turn till the following day. On arriving
at the inn he saw an unusual spectacle
the old man on the balcony, the crowd of
villagers around, the universal excite
ment.
On entering the inn he found some one
! who for some time had been waiting to see
him. 1t was Phillips. Phillips had come
early in the morning, and had been over
to the cottage. He had learned all about
the affair Of the inn, and narrated it to
Brandon, who listened with his usual
calmness. He then gave him letter
from Frank, which Brandon read and put
in his pocket.
Then Phillips told him the news which
he had learned at the cottage about Lang
hett. Langhetti and Despard were both
there yet, the former very dangerously i'll,
the latter waiting for some friends. He
also told him about the affair on the road,
the seizure of Clark, and his delivery into
the hands of the authorities.
Brandon heard all this with the deep
est interest. While the excitement at the
inn was still at its height, he hurried off
to the magistrate into whose hands Clark
had been committed. After an interview
with him he returned. He found the ex-
element unabated. He then went to the
cottage close by the inn, where Beatrice
had found home, and Langhetti refuge.
Philips was with him
On knocking at the door Asgeelo opened
it. They entered the parlor, and in short
time Mrs. Compton appeared. Brandon's
first inquiry was after Langhetti.
Heis about the same, said Mrs. Comp
ton.
Does the doctor hold out any hopes Of
his recovery?
Very little.
Who nurses him?
Miss Potts and Mr.. Despard.
Are they both here?
Yes.
Brandon was ssilent.
will go and tell them that you are here.
Brandon made no reply, and Mrs. Com
pton went to annouce his arrival.
In a short time they appeared. Beat
rice entered first. She was grave, and cold
and solemn Despard was gloomy and
stern. They both shook hands with Bran
don in silence. Beatrice extended her
hand without word, ltelessly and coldly; |
Despard took his hand abstractedly.

The landlord went up to the door and

He knocked still more loudly. Still no

He went up.

whose curiosity was by this time excited,
followed after.
The old man opened the window, which
swung back on hinges, and entered. There
was man in the bed.
He lay motionless. The old man ap.
preached. He recognized the face.
A cold chill went to his heart. He tore
down the coverlet, which concealed the
greater part of his face. The next mo-
ment he fell forward upon the bed.
Johnnie he screamed-Johnnie!
There was no answer. The face was
rigid and fixed. Around the neck was a
faint, blush line, mark what might have
been made by cord.
Johnnie, Johnnie! cried the old man
again in piercing tones. He caught at the
hands of the figure before him !; he tried
to pull it forward.
There was no response. The old man

The landlord and servants started back
in horror from the presence of this father
in his misery. ..
1t was but for momeat that he stood
there, He went back and flung himself
upon the bed. Then he came forth again
and stood upon the balcony, motionless,
white-faced, speechless-his lips mutter.

A crowd gathered around. The story
soon spread. This was the father of a
young man who had stopped at the inn
and died suddenly. The crowd that gath
cred around the inn saw the father as he
stood on the balcony.
The dwellers in the cottage that was
almost opposite saw him, aud Asgeelo
brought them the news.
