cons derably behind time and the EN-

meet the train. We were steaihing
along at the rate of fifty miles an hour.
After We had left Canal Doter aid

tramp ON the track swinging his arms
frantically, endeavoring to flag the
train. This made the engineer angry,
and with an oath he choked the
throttle, thinking it WIS some pBsseii-
ger who wanted TO board the train.
The tramp said he did not want to ride,
but that about fifty tons of stone had
fallen across the track just few feet
ahead of the locomotive. The engineer
went forward and found pile of stone
az high as his locomotive. If the train
had not been stopped where it was the
whole train would have been plunged
over an embankment twenty feet to the

CHAPTER XIII

THE FAIR SACRIFICE
We have to glance in the briefest
way.at the events occurring near'A yles-
worth before the coming OF the follow
ing spring.
The first day Of May had been set
for the wedding of Edgar Van Wyck
and Jessie Bryson; and the dav, now
close at hand, was regarded with very
different feelings by the parties most
interested.
The expectant bridegroom looked
forward impatiently to the time His
frequent visits to the old house had not
satisfied him that the girl had any love
for him. His repeated protestations of
affection rarely produced any response
from her. He had to acknowledge to
himself that she was indifferent to him.
She seemed acting under a settled pur-
pose to make the best of the situation;
to fulfill her promise in order to please
her father, and TO become wife cheer
fully, if not lovingly.
Edgar Van Nyck exactly realized
her feelings; but he would not have
given her up for the world. She was
all in all to him; he had once expressed
the Overlooking feelings of his heart to
his mother, in the words, "If | lose her
| die!' He was like many an older but
not wiser man, who has vainlv hoped
to win woman's heart after marriage.
His Impotence for the arrival of the
weddng-day was increased by his
knowledge that the elegant and city
bred Randall Belmont had called at
the old house several times during the
winter. He had wished to tax Jessica
with encouraging these visits, but he
dared not. Her self-contained suffer

she had ever treated his advances. babe

aious of Belmont, but he knew not
whether his jealousy was reasonable or
not; so his impotence increased as the
allotted day approached.

fears, that only good would come from

she called her, in talking with some

hood.

and stood the test.
But none may know the torrents of
dread that the secret murderer suffered
in those moments.
In fifteen minutes the party came up
again.
"Bryson," said the Sheriff, ct is fair
to inform you that we have found moth

Randall Belmont smiled at the

way toward the outer door. AS he
passed the stairway, Jessica, surprising
the party had gone, was just descend

this one seems familiar to me.
Often, indeed, had he seen that face,
as the face of a child, in past years, at
the stately home of Newland Wendell,
and at his own fathers house, in the
distant city; but the lapse of time and
her present surroundings prevented
his identifying her. She appeared to
him now as an indefinite memory out
OF the past; and she made an instant
impression on him. Five minutes be-
fore he had no thought for anything
but to prosecute the search by which
he hoped to solve the mystery of
his fathers disappearance; now a
disturbing influence had suddenly APP
peared, and he walked along mechan-
really with the others, his thoughts all
IN another part of the house.
But the zeal of the officers suffered
20 abatement. They pushed into every
part OF the first floor, examining the
rooms that were dismantled and
vacant, as well as the others. In look
ing about Bryson's bedroom, one of
them noticed an iron ring on the un-
carpeted floor.

up the trap. The others gathered
about and raised it to its full height.
The damp, musty odor Of the cellar
came up from the darkness beneath.

Bryson replied. L found it here, and
