DR.. Shaw turned to pace the room. LIGHT
was beginning to dawn o. him. It was diff
cult for him to bring his mind to believe that
Cuthbert was guilty of a mortal sin; yet
here was the father of the girl violent in
heavy charges, SO that the existence of the
victim at least was an established fact bv
surest proof.
"As the husband of u rdaughter he would
not have left her" he said, speaking in a tone
of pain and shame, and with something like
horror in the expression of his eyes. "May
God forgive him il he has brought disgrace

reported. If he be my daughters husband,
it shall be proved soon. Sir, I thank you for
receiving me civilly, and bearing with me.
For forty years have I dwelt in Greystone,
and for all that time no man hath ever
pointed his finger at me for any act Of
wrong. That my girl hath owned to a secret
marriage is a bitter disgrace upon me, who
have ever tried to teach her the hatefulness
of deceit, as the pathway Of one that forgets
the Lord. If you have news of your son,
sir, you will please to acquaint me with it.

And turning abruptly he left the room,
and in a moment the doctor heard the hall

call her his wife, and there was n o mention
Of marriage. Such are the trun lpery acct
dents which produce tragedies.
Mr.. Strang6eld flung them upon the floor
and wen down stairs.
His wife had finished her dinner and was
coming away from the house door, where she
had been standing a while on the lookout for
Jenny, whose absence troubled her, though,
for the girls sake, she would not complain.
Something like disdain Yves in her face when
she looked at her husband. He could not
have been guilty of more humbling meanness
in her sight than to ransack his daughters
bedroom.
"The dinner is cold" said she, "and 1 hav,
dined. If"
Ihave no appetite" he interrupted. "Let
the wench clear the table"
He went to his armchair and seated him
self in a sullen, rapt attitude, and never
stirred all the while his wife helped the girl
to remove the cloth. Then the poor woman,
hardly knowing what she ought to do, was
about to leave him alone and was closing the
door, when he called to her. She came to
the table.
"If you are taking her part" said he, in
harsh, concentrated tones, "and justifying
her conduct to yourself, tell me that 1 may
know how to address you"
II do not take her part, neither am 1
against her, until I know the truth" an-
swered the mother firmly.
"The truth is in the letters you will find
lying on her bedroom floor. Her sin is there
written by the hand of the villain who has
brought shame upon U.s."
Mrs. Strang1eld turned white and grasped
the table, while she stared at her husband.
"Why do you say that, Michael! Is it 90
plain! Is it so plain?"
"Plain!" he cried hoarsely. "What brains
do you allow me-, that l should not know the
language of the paramount? Get up stairs
and judge for thyself!"
"No. no! Not if I died for refusing. Oh,
Michael, art thou not headstrong i'll thy fearsa
If he be her husband, and loves her"
But she faltered and stopped here; for what
was to be done with that hard question-f
he loved her, why had he left her to bear her
trouble alones And, stammering q little, she
went on:
"But you will not believe that sho is his
wife, and It's easy, therefore, for their poor
letters to make thee think they have
sinned."
"Leave mel" he cried sternly, for be feared
the anger which his wife's obstinate advo-
cacy was kindling in him.
She e away quickly, smothering her
sobs until the door was closed. Then, at her
bedroom window, she planted herself to
watch for Jenny's return.

forty-six gold forms, in excellent pre-

early part of the fifteenth century, and

rolls. not enclosed in purse or vessel
of any description. Some ruins of
house that had evidently been destroyed
by fire were discovered three feet dis

buried prior to some war, the owner no
doubt hoping to recover the money after
the event was over. Many of the coins
