Norris was late at the bank on that event

full misery, sleep had come to him in fever
ish, undressing snatches. He arrived at
the same moment with Mr.. Everleigh, who
stepped out of his carriage, accompanied
by a police officer whom he had picked up
ON the way.
"Ah, Norrisr spoke the banker, with
extreme agitation. "Do you know what
has happenedi There has been an accident,
it may be murder. The janitor telephoned
for me. Childer is hurt, he says, shot by
burglars, who broke in during the night.
The three went in together while he was
speaking, and the janitor, who had tele-
phoned Immediately upon making his Rhast-
" discovery, met them with frightened
face, and repeated his story Of finding
Childer, wounded and senseless, while an
open window led to the supposition that
burglars had effected an entrance and

The ball which had entered the chest had

CHAPTER XIV.

IN THE SICK-ROOM.
Startled, but not greatly alarmed, Ingos
raised the fainting girl and placed her on .
sofa in the room. Then he bent his efforts
toward reviving her, not wishing to call
any one until the matter between them
should be settled.
It was only natural she should be over
come by all these terrible events, and tho
sight of her suffering, while it touched him,
brought up the evil passions in the mana
breast.
"Why couldn't she give in without max.
ing me 20 to such lengths" he muttered.
81 don't want to hurt her, I'd rather b.
kind to her, but she gives me no choiee.
She'll end in making me turn against her ~
I've turned against him, the traitor! just
to think how he played it on me! But IN
get even with them both, I'll bring them -
time, if pay the heaviest price for it.''
He grew uneasy at last, Carols swoon
lasted so long, but still he would not call for
aid. He opened window and let the cod
air blow in, rubbed the little nerveless
hands between his own, and wet the pale
lips with water which he found in the room.
His efforts were rewarded at last. She drew
long, quivering breath, and opened her
eyes, to shudder ct sight Of him bending
over her.

Carol wrung her hands together in IN
agony of grief, horror and despair.
"What has he donea" she asked. again,
her burning gaze fixed upon him .--pcllinS

Ingot gave q short, scornful laugh.
"What has he donei Robbed Mr.. Ever
leigh of the money which he has palmed on
as your fortune and his. Your saint who
could do no wrong was nothing else than =
common thief and liar-no, most un1fzr-
mon one, for he succeeded in keeping all
suspicion from himself except with me. I
found out what he was up to, and kept
mum on the condition I've told you, that he
should make you marry me by hook or crock.
He promised, and took my plan up to the
very last turn-meaning all the while to get
out of it in this way, it may be-but I tell
you am not going to have it So"
He had repressed the violent signs OF his
anger by this time, and was speaking calm
ly, but with set, inflexible purpose which NO
pity could move.

with me-unless you marry me now, this
very night-Pn blow the whole affair. Mr..
Everleigh shall know where his money

the thief. II Lyman had made better job
of it, he would have beaten me, there's no
denying it, but as the matter stands have

He paused, regarding her curiously, but
Carol did not move. She sat like oEe

THE PROUD LADY GONE.


Away from the noise and clatter,

Beautiful, wealthy and grand,
And soclety's legions marshal

Yet far from tho glamor and glittor,
From rovel and rout and ball,
Bho socks her old companion.
When the evening shadows fall.
Tread in her eyes of azure
A welcome tender and strong,
And her greeting to mo Is tho music

Shc sits whero tho fading sunshine
Falls on hcr puro, sweet face,
About her, draped aud twining,
