CHAPTER XXXII.
THE END,

The woman Sunfewer was at work with
her needle, and blithely singing, about
week after the sudden termination to the
trial, when savage kick shattered the
door, and there, where it had been, stood
Langley.
She knew her time was come; she saw
murder in his face; but she tried to save
herself even at that pass.
He had broken from Jail once more, to
avenge himself upon his wife.
He was quite merciless.
II have always loved you, Langley,
DEAR" she said
"You've proved it," he said.
"What do you want9"
"To keep my word"
"What wordW
II mean to kill you"
"Kill me! But l won't die. I have
loved you all my life; and love you now
more than ever"
Here she put her arms round his neck.
"Love" he said, plucking away her
arms.
"DearlyAdeeply."
"When we love, Sunfower, we don't be-
| tray. Sunf1Ower, you will never more be-
tray me to the.police; and the police will
never more have the trouble to arrest me,
for you and me will be dead together in
another few minutes. Can you prayW
She leaped at him, kissed his face, his
hands, his feet-nay, almost washed them
with her tears.
But she had lost all power over him.
Remember the iron bars at Newgate.
You will never be out Of my power again.
Prsy-if you CAM
81 want to live. I am so young to dies
Am not as pretty as everY"
"Pray."
A"T won't pray.s
He sprang upon her, ,and as she resisted, he
shook her, and she became stupefed, and
incapable of movement.
He went to the window, caught her up
by her long and beautiful hair, and flung
her sheer into the street.
Then he leaped after her.
She died at once, her head fearfully
crushed for she had been thrown from
lthird-hoor. He fell upon his elbows, his
fail being broken thereby; but all his
limbs were shattered.
He crawled to the still form, about which
o crowd had already assembled; and plac.
ing his lips to hers, he cried, "Sunt1oWer"
And so he died.
Three days before these events, Lord Ar
Ilington had busted himself very much con.
cerning police detective of the name OF
IWebber. The newspapers could not make
out the mystery. The writer's told their
readers how Mr.. Austin Sivory, leaving a
certain house in Park Street, Westminster,
Ibad imprudcntly attempted to cross the
road, and must have slipped upon piece
of orange peel, or other dangerous sub
stance. At all events, the horses ana
wheels of carriage went over the untof-
|tuuate gentleman. The owner Of the car
|riage happened to be in it, for he was be-
ing driven to the Opera; and this gentle
man-the Earl of Arlington-shOwed great
|anxietv about the sutterer-the more es-
necially when he had heard from the land
jadv of the house in Park Street who the
gentleman was.
), Mr.. Sivory was taken upstairs, where
!, Miss Mayter was found in condition ap-
parently of torpor. The presence. how
ever. of the injured gentleman, who was
much blood stained, recalled her to her
self, and she at once busted herself about
the still senseless patient.
II was at this point that strange glib
bcring was heard at the window, and the
attention of those present being drawn to
the point, they saw a terrified, white face
looking in.
Fear for some time prevented anything
being do1,1. The window was at last
opened, when it was found that the lndl-
, yidual in question was quite insane.
at is Miss Varli's brother" here said the
, woman of the house.
When suddenly, Lord Arlington uttered
sound OF anguish, and cried, paul, my
moor lad-Paul, do you not know meT
He looked, smiled, and then said, III
low voice, Hush! we shall hunt him
r down."
He was quite mad.
