a Romantic Story from Maine.

Some years before the war Otis Bur-
ton, Il former resident OF Bangor lett
here to seek his fortune in the West
He drifted to Missouri, where he met
an accomplished lady with whom he
fell in love. She was pleased with him,
but before he made his passion kGcwn
she moved to a distant part OF the
South
About this time the war broke out,
other. Burton joined the Union army,
and was soon aitcrward wounded, and
as it was supposed he would die,
letter was sent to his mother
informing her that her son could not
live He, however, was blessed with
good constitution and recovered. lie
went back to his regiment, and was de-
tailed with company to take supplies
across the plains. The party was at
tackled by Indians, and every man in
the force except Burton killed. lie
was reported to have been slain with
the rest. The Indians decided to let
him live, and took him a prisoner to
their retreat in the mountains of the
Southwest. He gradually recovered
from wounds he had received in the
encounter, made himself agreeable to
his captors, and adapted himself to
their ways of living.
After he had been in captivity six
months or more he was allowed more
liberty, and now began to watch for a
chance to escape. The Indians had
stolen number Of ponies, and among
these was one which Burton's prac-
ticed eye showed him was highly bred,
and with speed and endurance. This
pony was cared for and pctted by Bur-
ton, and he was allowed to ride him.
One day he strayed away further than
usual, and, though not acquainted with
the country, made a dash for liberty
He was closely pursued, but the gal
liant little pony had the bottom for a
winning race. He rode for three days,
and then began to see that he was get
ting out Of the hostile country In
the distance he saw house which he
knew must be inhabited by whites.
He shouted with joy, feeling that he
had gained freedom at last. He knocked
at the door of the house, and surprise
awaited him. 1t was opened by the
woman he had loved in lang syne. he
was at once recognized, and received a
hearty welcome. Burton told his adj

There was suit before a Justice Of

CHAPTER III.

It is hard to personate an act a part long, for
where truth is not at the bottom Nature will
always be endeavoring to return, and will
peep out, and betray herself one time or other.
The court resumed next morning, and
was crowded in every part. AT ten
o'clock the prisoner was placed at the
bar, and though still very pale, had lost
much of that crushed appearance she
had displayed the day before; and on
Mr.. Eyre's entering the witness-box,
showed symptoms OF almost uncontroll
able agitation.
He himself gave no sign of emotion
as he briefly gave his evidence, and
even under the cross-examination be-
trayed none of the impatience and an
ger that Frank had done.
Asked IL he had ever felt any jealousy
of Lord Lovel, especially on that fatal
night, he looked across at Frank, and
involuntarily the two men smiled,
thereby greatly scandalizing the jury,
who could not see that the murder OF q
mans wife was matter for joking to
the man himself.
Asked IL he had unlocked the door,
seldom used, that connected the library
with the drawing-room, which on the
latter side was hidden BY a thick cur

The fox suspended, while the ass goes free.
Mr.. Eyre's character, discussed by
his friends at luncheon, had suffered
severely. Inhuman, dishonorable, ly-
ing-these had been some of the cpl
thets applied to his conduct, and even
the Duke had not been able to stem the
current of popular opinion against him:
1t was taken for granted that he had
from the first known the child drowned
in the Shifting Pool to be his own, and
pushed the charge against the woman,
Janet Stork, with relentless vigor, till
the accident of the mothers appearance
in the place had compelled him to q dis
honorable policy, in which, by private
agreement with Lord Lowell, he had
made the young man the scapegoat Of
his sin. The power of his influence
over his discarded mistress was gagged
by the fact that, though residing In the
village for nearly seven months, she
had never even sought to discover her
self to the wife, but had shared with
Lord Lowell the false position in which
Mr., Eyre's hypocrisy had placed her.
In the minds Of the jury this latter
consideration was destined to bear un-
expected results. while at the same

came. But so carerul was sne that no
shadow of her misery and degradation
should pass between Mr.. Eyre and his
happiness, that she would not even re-
veal to her foster-sister his name-the
fOSter-sister, who was the one person
on earth who loved this forsaken, I'M
happy woman, and who attended her
devotedly throughout that terrible time.
But this woman, with the stern instinct
OF revenge common to her class, took
the resolve to comfort the father with
his child, and rouse him from the dream
Of happiness in which he was sunk to
contemplate the misery of the woman
whom he had once loved. And by
patient watching and searching, she at
length obtained what she believed to be
q clew to his home and name; then per-
suading the mother that the child would
be better if taken to her own people for
awhile, and the mother consenting. the
servant took it away; and that way led
her to the very gates or Mr.. Eyre, the
man through whose fundamentally the
woman he had once loved, stands,
charged with murder as felon, in the
dock to-day.
but placed on false scent by the
information that she had gathered in
the village, and faint with fasting and
fatigue, the servant repented of her
plan, and creeping away, sat down to
rest herself by the pool, of whose curl
Gus history she was ignorant. AS night
drew on, the child cried for food, but
she had none to give it, and in a mo-
mert of madness laid the baby down by
the pool and walked away, thinking
that some one would find it, but return
ed few moments later to find that it
had rolled itself over the brink, and dis
appeared.

beneath q plank in the nurses room,
and that she had exhibited such extra
ordinary fear on their discovery that
much closer examination was now be-
ing conducted, in the expectation Of
finding other boards.
Then suddenly flashed across Mr..
Eyre's memory the cupidity of the wo-
mans eyes on the night she had seen
her mistress dressed in the diamonds,
and he glanced at her keenly, but in the
same moment put the thought by-he
was so convinced of the guilt of the wo-
man who stood in the dock before him.
Cross-examined as to his reason for
practicing such a deception, and asked
honor to allow his friend to be publicly
accredited with his sin, Mr.. Eyre re-
piled, carelessly that it was no question
of his homer, but of his wife's happi-
ness, which, thank Godl and in spite Of
the manner Of her end, had been pre-
served to the last.
There were those present who be-
lieved they saw Satan in the flesh, as
they gaZed at this man, in whom was
no truth or pity; who could own himself
to their eyes man who had not scru-
pied to sacrifice his friends honor to
his own well-being, and who now de-
liberately pursued to death woman
whose crime, if she had committed one,
distinctly lay at his door.
But there was one present who loved
him better in his ruin than she had ever
loved him in his honor, though he was
not even conscious Of her gaze, looking
on all that passed around him, as fig
ures in q Kaleidoscope, with which him
self and his inward thoughts had moth
ing to do.
Asked IL he thought that jealousy Of
his wife was likely to have precipitated
the prisoner into the crime, Mr.. Eyre
replied that he considered the motive Q
