when he approached, laughing, and caught
her round the waist, he slipped the ring on
her finger before she could resist But it only
remained there moment. With quick,
sharp cry, she tore herself free, and, taking
the ring off, threw it right away from her
upon the sand. Then, with a wild gesture of
fear and loathing, she rushed into the cottage.
William Jones walked over and picked up
the ring, while Monk stood scowling darkly
after the fugitive.
"What the devil ails the girlg' cried the
latter, with fierce oath, pocketing the pres
ent.
81 dunno She's never been the same
since-since the painter chap went missing.
Pm afeerd he turned the gals head"
HELL turn no more heads" muttered
Monk under his breath; he added aloud and
with decision, "There must be an end to this
She must be married to me at once"
"Do you mean it, master? When you
spoke on it fust thought you was joking"
'Then you were a fool for your palms.
She's old enough, and bold enough, and viz
enish enough; but I'll tame her. tell you
there must be no more delay. My minds
made up, and I'll wait no longer"
Sinking their voices they continued to talk
crouching close to the threshold, and had
heard every word of the above conversation,
and much that followed it. When Monk
walked away and disappeared. leaving Will
liam Jones ruminant at the broken gate, she
suddenly reappeared.
Curiously enough all her excitement had
departed. Instead of weeping or protesting,
she looked at William Jones-and laughed.
Monk had left his horse at the coastguard
station. Remounting he rode rapidly away
through the sandhills in the direction of the
lake. AS he approached the spot of the old
encampment he saw that the caravan had
gone.
He rode on thoughtfully till he gained the
highway, when he put his horse into a rapid
trot. Just before he gained the gate and
avenue near to which he had first encountered
Brinkley, he saw the caravan before him on
the dusty road
He hesitated for moment, then hurried
rapidly forward, and, arriving close to the
vehicle, saw the Irishman's head looking
'ound at him from the drivers seat. He
)eckoned, and Tim pulled up.
elias your master returneds I am in
formed that he has been missing for some
lays"
Tim shook his head very dolefully.
'sNo, sor (; sorra sight have seen of him for
three days and three nights. I'm going back
wild the haste and the house to tell his friends
the bad news. Maybe it's making fun of mehe
is, and I'll find him somewheTes on the road"
II hope you WILL" said Monk, sympa-
thetically. 81 think-huln-it is quite pos
sible he has, as you suggest, wandered home
ward. Good day to you"
So saying Monk turned off by the gate
which they had just reached, and rode away
up the avenue
Tim looked after him till he disappeared.
Then the same curious change came over him
which had come over Matt after she had
been listening to the colloquy between Monk
and William Jones.

CHAPTER XVI.
THE "MURDEREDn MANI

Yes, it was the artist himself, looking
little pale and carrying one arm in sling,
but otherwise, to all appearance, in good
health.
Monk had strong nerves, but he could not
prevent himself from uttering wild cry of
horror and wonder. At the same moment
Matt went to the young mans side, and with
an air of indescribable trust and sweetness,
took bus hand-the hand which was free-and
put it to her lips
''The proof is here" he said, calmly, ''here
upon my person. Eam not quite dead, you
see, Mr.. Monk, Of Monkshurst, and thought

her smile there was KIND OF vague Anxiety
and expectation. ....s.-,
It was arranged that Monk should drive
Matt in the dogcart, while William jones
and his father followed in the commoner
vehicle. At Pencroes, where the ceretnony
was to be performed, they were to meet with
one Mr.. Penarvon, a country squire and
kindred spirit of Monks, who had promised
to be .sbest man" -~7y !
Monk took the reins, while Matt got in and
seated herself beside him, the groom getting

father, ..e

McCleIlan's Body-Guard.

A letter from Springfield, H., to the
Chicago Tribune recalls the fact that the
Hon. Ozias NJ. Hatch, who was Secretary
of State of Illinois in the eventful days OF
the war, was one of the intimate, social and
political home friends of Abraham Lincoln,
and frequently visited Washington to con-
suit with him. During one of these visits
the President invited Mr.. Hatch to accom-
pany him to General McClellans army
near Antietam. They reached Antietam
late in the afternoon of a very hot day, and
were assigned special tent for their occu-
pancy during the night II describing this
visit Mr.. Hatch recently said Early next
morning was awakened by Mr.. Lincoln.
1t was early day; daylight was Just light
ing the east Lincoln said to me: Come,
Hatch, | want you to take walk with me-.
His tone was serious and impressive.
He led me about the camp, and then
we walked upon the surrounding hills
overlooking the great city OF white tents
and sleeping soldiers. Very little was
spoken between us beyond few words as
to the pleasantness of the morning or SINH
lar casual observations. Lincoln seemed TO
be peculiarly serious, and his quiet, alb
stracted way affected me also. We walked
slowly and quietly, meeting here and there

| point, where almost that entire camp could
be seen-the men were just beginning their
morning duties, and evidences of life and
activity were becoming apparent = we
| stopped. The President, waving his hand
toward the scene before Us and leaning to-
ward me, said in an almost whispering
voice: Hatch, Hatch, what is all this?
Why, Mr.. Lincoln said |, this is the
Army of the Potomac He hesitated 6
moment, and then strengthening up said il

more was said. We walked to our tent
and the subject was not alluded to again.

Il was only a skeleton eve
A skeleton eye,
That s-iared in the moonlight UP al me.
From the grass as rode by
As rode by in the long, dry grass
when the gRastly moon was high.
1t was only skeleton eye,
A skeleton eye
But losthsome thing, with Shiny legs.
Crept out as drew nigh
CTept out of the socket TO see me pass,
In the grasses lank and dry
1t was only skeleton eve,
A skeleton eyei
Tipped with the light of a lurid moon,
And lying stark and awry-
Stark and cold by the lonely road.
Where the gaUnt wolves crouch and cry
1t was only a skeleton eve,
A skeleton eyei
And the devil had hardly holder beeD
AT sight of it than /
Than l, albeit hideous curse
Ny heart did horrify
1t was only q skeleton eye,
skeleton eye,
terrible sight 10 see by night,
As all must testify
A horrible sight, by the chill moonlight
FOR guilty soul to spy.
II was only skeleton eye,
4 skeleton eye,
1et never the tiends that Turk below,
Nor the saints that thrOng the sky.
Caa wean my mUrderous soul away
From the CLEAN of that skeleton eye.
