 "I don't know how came to give him the chance. This will be lesson to me, Norris. was too conceited, and thought myself far too sharp; wanted all the credit of unraveling this affair. You remember that Maloney told us Edson had gone out to seek the assistance of Q friend that night when you so opportunely found him9 We'll, l set myself to watch for that friend, sup posing he had got an inkling of Edson's whereabouts, and to-day when was told that 9 person had been inquiring for him, went down to interview the person. It turned out to be one of those cadaverous tract peddlers, on the hunt of sinners to convert, but spent some little time talk ing to him, to Convince myself of the gen. uineness of his mission. When went back to the sick room, found it empty. Mind you, that Miller, as he called himself, had never fairly coFe out of his stupid state. He took what we gave him, ate and slept, and lay there like man whose mind was torpid; but can see now he had his wits about him through all He knew he had given himself away to me, and he took this way of beating me-. You're in the right of 1t to be modest, my boy. I'll never boast of my own smartness again."

CHAPTER XIX

GROPING IN THE DARK.
 She has gone and engaged herself to that man," said Althea, with some bitter ness; and these words kept repeating thcm- selves in the mind of Norris Bergman through the hvelong night.
 His heart had gone down with Q sudden chill. He was depressed and unhappy, but yet not entirely without hope.
 Her brother is at the bottom of it." Althea had declared, and he believed it.
 Of fherself, he felt sure, Carol would never turn to Ingot, and for the.rest, marriage need not necessarily follow upon such an arrangement as might have been brought about by the cooperation of the two men, No girl of spirit would be so driven, and that Carol had spirit he knew, for had she not defed her brother when Lyman snubbed him, and closed the door in his facet
 1t was a cross to think that she had ever tolerated Ingot, but there was comfort in knowing that she, too, was unhappy. Her pale, dropping face had assured him of that.
 Altogether, Norris might have suffered more than he did that night. He was like one who refuses to believe the ill-tidings that come to him, and Althea did her best to keep up his spirits when he saw her again.
 1T drove around there this morning." she said, "determined to get at the bottom of the whole affair, but, unfortunately, Carol was out Don't look so blue, Norris. shall go again tomorrow, and the day after, and every day, until I succeed in finding out what that ogre of brother means by badgering her into taking such step. De- pend on me to smooth the way for you to bring about an understanding of your own"
 But for once Althea overrated her pow IS. She did not see Carol when she called or the second time at the house, and on the third day Carol came to see her.
 The girl was still pale, and quieter than her wont, but she spoke of her engagement quite as matter of course.
 'I do not expect it to be of long stand ing," said she. "Mr. Ingot has already broached the subject of speedy marriage, and, while nothing is settled, may say that feel bound to yield to his wishes so far as can."
 "Are you really going to let this thing go on, Carroll It will be the mistake of your life if you do. You are not deceiving me one iota. I know your brother has made ths match because he hates Norris; it is he, not lngot, who is hurryiEs you to the end, and 1t IS moro than unreasonable of him-it IS wicked! What right has he to make your life miserable2 If it Is done with the vlew of sparing him any thing, be assured that 1t will fail. The penalties which man in vokes by his own acts will find him out; therefore, my little martyr, do not think o1 sacrificing yourself to Lyman, no matter what he may urge. Be true to yourself and to one other"
 Miss Everleigh's earnestnesa had carried her too far. There waa an indignant flash in the soft eyes that were raised to meet | hers steadily.
 "You are deceiving yourself, Althea Lyman has done nothing-nothing-to cause 1 you to speak like that What I am doing is of my own free will, not to please hin l alone"
 "You do not pretend 10 say that you real
Waterbury evening Democrat., 1889-09-26

ysu have 8 turn at being pulled about. No wry faces, sir, but do your duty like $ man."
 Almost before he knew it, he was in tho midst of the fun and frolic. Mir. Ingot held aioof, looking on superciliously, and express1 ing his distaste for the whole affair to Carol when he got the chance.
 ssI don't like you to mix with such little beasts, my beauty. Talk of Miss Ever leigh's pride! don't see whore it comes in tonight. To think of her gathering up such rabble! I thought she said Bergman could not come," with change of unpleas- ant surprise in his voice. "Did you know he was expected, Carol1"
 "No," she answered, turning hot and cold by turns as she lifted her eyes slowly to see Norris entering. How could she meet him with the promise she had given her brother binding her? How could she bear Ingot's

assertion of his claim which she was sure he would Haunt in the others facea
 Norris passed them with a quiet bow, and approached Althea.
 'sl was so sorry to be obliged to decline your dinner invitation that came away before the evening was half over to make amends. If am an awkward quantity, can easily go again."
 1T wish you would," she answered him, honestly. 1T went after Carol, hoping you would come, but she has gone and engaged herself to that man. It isn't her fault; her brother is at the bottom of it, know, but it will not be pleasant for either of you now. Come again tomorrow, I shall want to see you."
 Norris bowed-he could not trust himself to speak-and withdrew as quietly as he came, leaving Lyman, who was out of sight at the moment, none the wiser for his pres ence on the scene.
 Whatever trouble, of his own making, was closing around Lyman Childer, he had broken away from the shadow of it for that one night. He proved on invaluable assist ant to Miss Everleigh, keeping her restless l company engaged until the hour for dis missing them arrived, when he made lit tie speech as he handed out the bag of sweets which made every child-heart glad. Tho old ladies had their donations of tea and to- bacco, and Julle Streng found a soft, warm shawl placed over her threadbare wrap by Althea's hands.
 The blessed Christmas day was at an end. Carol was relieved when her brother took the seat beside her, leaving Ingot to mount beside the driver on the way home. She gave his hand grateful squeeze, and nestled close to him under the protecting | robes She thought she had seen the evil dences of better understanding between Althea and him that night, and in her own heart she was making a resolution to trust him implicitly, at any sacrifice to herself Ingot was satisfied for once to say good 1 night at the door. His bird was snared; he could afford to let 1t futter in the net which encompassed it.
 Time enough to tame 1t when he had it I fairly in his hand.
