the last day, finishing some ruffies in

herself, when suddenly the house was
filed with cries.
An old man-servant, while cutting the
grass upon the lawn, had wounded him
self seriously. The doctor was sent for
Al once, but he VAS not ut home. and
meanwhile poor Xcbcdee was bleeding

Suddenly Ida lIalifont remembered
that Mr.. llunphricS had said that hc

it would have been natural for her IA cali
on one who was soon To be her protector
i'll moment Of anxiety. She would call
him herself, that there might be- no de-
lay; and Selling her gar,lcn-hat, she ran
along a little path that led from her
ground to that Of Mr.. Humphrics,
climbing low fence To save time which
would have been lost in reaching a gate.

Ten minutes,after she thought OF herself
at that moment utterly at eaSe-won-

windows and peeped half timidlv
through the curtains, Il thing happened
that made all she had ever suffered APP
pear as nothing.
The room, the window OF which she
had approached, WAS one that opened
out of a conservatory. She saw Colonel
HUMPHREYS busy with some rare plants
he had just set out to the warm sun
shine that fell through the glass. He
had taken off his coat and rolled up his
sleeves. Now he left the conservatory
and coming forward proceeded to wash
his hands in a basin of water that had
been set ready for him. He was close 10
Ida HalifOnt. He did not see her, but
she could have reached out her hand and
touched him.
Why did she not speak and call him
by name. Why did she sink down upon
her hands and tremble like an aspen
leaf. Alas, the awful reason was this:
Upon that arm to which she was about
to give the right to clasp her i'll tendercst
embrace she saw terrible MARIA mark
she had seen once before. She knew its
shape and size and color Her eyes had
been riveted upon it as the sincwy hand,
at the wrist OF which it ended, graSpcd
her diving husbands throat. She hal
learned it off by heart; she could not be
