OF the last hours of Alexander Hamil-
ton the following is told:

friend. DR. Hosack found him sitting
on the grass. supported in the arms of his
second, with the ghastliness of death
upon his countenance. This is NOR
tai wound. DOCTOR" he gasped, and sank
away into swoon. The doctor stripped
up his clothes, and saw at a glance that
the ball, which had entered his right
side, must have penetrated a mortal
part Scarcely expecting him to revive,
they conveyed him down among the
large rocks to the shore, placed him ten
derly in the boat and set off for the city.
The doctor now used the usual restora-
tives, and the wounded man gradually
revived He breathed," to quote the
doctors words; "his eyes, hardly open,
wandered without fixing upon any OBJ
ject. To our great JOY he at length
spoke. my vision is indistinct," were
his first words. HIS pulse became more
perceptible, his respiration more regular.
his sight returned. Soon after recover
ing his sight he appeared to cast his eye
upon the case of pistols, and observing
the one that he had had in his hand
lying on the outside, he said: ''Take care

The owner Of the musical voice was not
disposed to knock, much less to use his
hands to open the door, for he gave it a
vicious kick. The lock was a good one
and did not yield.
"Open the door, he cried.
"Open it yourself" responded the
chief, land come in"
The door was pushed open and a young
man strobe in.
As soon as he stepped within the room
he was seized by the two men stationed
at the door,
With an oath, he tried to struggle free,
and was nearly successful, for he was a
very powerful man.
Tom turned the light upon him. He
did not know him.

municating with Iris. His card-case prov
ed to be empty when he opened it: but
there were letters in his pocket, addressed
to him at his hotel in London Removing
the envelope from one of these, he handed
it to the servant:
''Take that to Miss Henley, and ask when
l can see her."
The girl left him in the passage, and
went upstairs to the DRAWN groom
In the fimslv hnilt little house he could
hear the heavy step OF a man crossing Une
room above, and then the resonant tones
of mans voice raised as if in anger Had
she given him already the right to be an
CRY with her? He thought of the time
when the betrayal of Lord Harry's vindic-
tive purpose in leaving England had
frightened her-when he had set aside his
own sense of what was due to him, for her
sake-and had helped her to communicate
by letter, with the man whose fatal as
cendancy over Iris had saddened his life.
Was what he heard now the return that
he had deserved?
After a short absence the servant came
back with message.
''Miss Henley begs you will excuse her.
She will write to you"
Would this promised letter be like the
other letters which he had received from
ture reminded him that he owed it to his
remembrance of happier days, and truer
friendship, to wait and see.
He was just getting into the cab, on his
return to London. when closed carriage,
with one person in it, passed him on its
way to Redburn Road. In that person he
recognized Mr.. Henley. As the cab-driver
mounted to his seat Hugh saw the car

in the forenoon. regularly every day: al
ways by herself, and always in the same
direction. don't encourage the servants,
Mr.. Henley: there was something inSOlent
in the tone of suspicion that they adopted.
[ told them that Miss Iris was merely tax
ing her walk. They reminded me that it
must be cruelty long walk. Miss Iris be-
ing away regularly for four or five hours
together, before she came back to the
house. After that (says the housekeeper),
l thought it best to drop the subject
What do you think of it yourself, Mount
JOY? Do you call my daughters conduct
suspicious?"
Il see nothing suspicious, Mr.. Henley.
When Iris goes out. she visits a friend"
And always goes in the same direction,
and always visits the same FRIEND" Mr..
Henley added. Il felt curiosity to know
who that friend might be, and | made the
discovery yesterday. When you were
staying in my house in the country, do
you remember the man who waited on
your?
Mountjoy began to feel alarmed for Iris;
he answered as briefly as possible.
Your valet?" he said
"That's it! Well, took my valet into
nv confidence-not for the first time,
can tell you; an invaluable fellow. When
Iris went out yesterday he tracked her to
wretched little suburban place near
Hampstead Heath, called Redburn Road.
She rang the bell at No s. and was at
once let in-evidently well known there.
My clever man made inquiries IN the
neighborhood. The house belongs to
doctor, who has lately taken it. Name is
Vimpany."
Mountjoy was not only startled, but
showed it plainly. Mr.. Henley, still pacing
backward and forward, happened by good
fortune to have his back turned towards
his visitor at that moment.
Now l ask you as man of the world,
Mr.. Henley resumed, what does this
mean? If you re too cautious to speak out,
and | must say it looks like it, shall I set
you the eXample?"
Just as you please, sir.''
Very well, then; I'll tell you what I
suspect. When Iris is at home, and when
there's something amiSS in my family, |
believe that scoundrel Lord Harry to be
at the bottom of it. There's my expert
ence, and there's my explanation. l was
on the point Of ordering my carriage, to go
to the doctor myself, and insist on know
ing what the attraction is that takes nv
daughter to his house, when / heard your
voice in the hall. You tell me you are in
terested in Iris. Very well; you are just
the man to help me''
MAY 1 ask how, Mr.. Henley?"
"Of course you may. You can find YOUR
way to her confidence, if you choose to try;
she will trust you, where she won't trust
her father. | don't care two straws about
her other secrets: but do want to know
whether she is, or is not, plotting to marry
the Irish blackguard. Satisfy me about
that, and you needn't tell me anything
more. May | count on you to find out how
the land lies?"
Mountjoy listened, hardly able to credit
the evidence of his own senses; he was
actually expected to insinuate himself in

Il ask you to keep what has happened
on this dreadful day, a secret from every
body; may | trust you-lttle as you know
of meas l might have trusted Rhoda
Bennett"
Il promise it, miss" In saying those
few words, the undemonstrative woman
seemed to think that she had said enough.
Iris had no alternative but to ask anoth-
er favor.
And whatever curiosity you may feel,
will you be content to do me Kindness
without wanting an eXplanation?'
ut is my duty to respect my mistress
secrets; | will do my duty" No senti-
ment, no offer of respectful sympathy: a
positive declaration of fidelity, left i'm
penetrably to speak for itself. Was the
had darkened her life? Or was she the
submissive victim of that inbred reserve
which shrinks from the frank expression
of feeling and lives and dies self-imprison-
ed in its own secrecy? A third eXplana-
ton, founded probably on a steadier basis,
was suggested by Miss Henley's remem-
brance of their first interview. Fanny's
nature had revealed sensitive side when
she was first encouraged to hope for ref
uge from ruin followed perhaps by starva-
ton and death. Judging SO far from ex.
perience, a sound conclusion seemed to
follow. When circumstances strongly eX-
cited the girl, there was a dormant vitali-
ty in her that revived. At other times,
when events failed to agitate her by a di-
rect appeal to personal interests, her con-
stitutional reserve held the rule She
could be impenetrably honest. steadily in
dustrious, truly grateful-but the intui-
tive expression of feeling, on ordinary oc-
casions, was beyond her reach
After an interval of nearly half an hour,
Mr.. Vimpany made his appearance. Paus-
ing in the doorway, he consulted his watch,
and entered on a calculation which pre-
sented him favorably from a professional
point of view.

Thanks to his luck-yes."
''His luck?"

his life to your finding him when you did;
little later, and it would have been all
! over with Lord Harry. Second piece OF

A WISCONSIN WRECK.
Collision of Twc Passenger Trains at
Early Hour.

Early Hour.
BARABoo, VISA disastrous collision
of two passenger trains occurred on the
Chicago & Northwestern railway at
LavalIe at an early hour Wednesday
morning, in which it is thought that
at least four passengers are seriously if
not fatally injured, and several others re-
ceived more or less injury. The trains
had orders to meet and pass at Lavalle,
and rs train No. Was heading in on the
siding, the vestibule train came along and
struck the other between the baggage car
and smoker, throwing the latter car on its
side and telescoping the second coach. The
persons in the smoking car had to be as
sisted from the wreck. One man received
fractured skull and it is said he cannot pos
sibly recover, while two others received
injuries to their spines which may prove
fatal Another man is also thought
to be seriously hurt. Miss Jessie Hume,
en- route from Pleasant Grove, Mimi, to
Nova Scotia. was in the telescoped car,
and received bruises about her face to
such an extent as to render her unfit to
continue her journey. She was assisted
from the train in this city and placed
under the doctors care.
1t cannot be learned from the railway
officials here who is responsible for the
collision, but is thought that the engi-
neer of the vestibule train is at fault.
Although he remembered his orders he
did not take the proper precaution to see
