CHAPTER Xxx.

DEAD MAN REVENGE
In the preceding chapter Il glimpse
has been given of Tom Bryson after he
had heard of the death Of Edgar Van
Wyck: but he hal nc occasion to show
to his daughter, nor did he show to
her. the true nature of his feelings
whom this surprising news came to him.
1t put him i'll perfect ecstasy of de
light. He would not trust himself in
the presence o! any living person tc
show it. lie went out into the woods
and there laughed, capcrcd, and actual
~ shouted with glce. Little by little
the mans nature had been wholly
changed. Little by little his love foI
his child-th the only thing that had re.
manned from his better days, to human
ize him.-had yielded. TO his powsrful
lust for wealth, and his absorbing anx:
iety to retain in 81 ETY. the great fruits
of his terrible crime. TO seal the
mouth of one who might haze been a
swift witness against him, he had been
willing, nay, anxious, to sacrifice his
daughters happiness by II hateful and
unequal match. And now that Young
Van Wvck was suddenly removed by
death, the release of ,Iessica was the
last thing that he thought of as cause
for congratulation.
The thought that filled his soul with
Joy was that, save .lcssica, the only per-
son who coull give information that
would trace the murder and robbery OF
Mason belmont to him was silent in
death. The dreadful secret wa; kept
by himself and by the grave alone; lie
was absolutely safe.
For IL few days the thought kept his
brain in such whirl that ho was able
to form no plans for the future. Time
was when his first question would ha e
been: "What can | d. for Jcssca p
how can | best benefit her?" But now
his very soul had become callouscd by
his misfortunes, by his crimes, and by
the ac luisitlon Of h s ll-Sotten fortune.
The questions That now haunted his
thoughts by day and his dreams by
night we're; How can ! enjoy all this
money in safety? Where can go with
it? How far must | go before it's use
Will cease to excite suspcion?" lie
went out into the woods, but he did not
labor. Hour after hour lie sat idly
upon the trunk of n fallen tree, trying
to answer these questions; night after
night did he return home undecided.
AS he became absorbed in these
thoughts he grew harsher and sterner
in his treatment of tn, only being who
still clung to him, and da, by day was
tho burden of that patient soul in.
creased.
What somc one has styled he IN
Sdni'y Of JttjN must have seized him.
He became suddenly fearful lest the
murdered mans money had clipped
from his grasp. More than eighi
months had passed since, in the early
hours of that dreadful day, he had
locked it up in the little closet. Never
since then had he placed key in that
lock. Sometimes he hal sat before il
alone at night looking at the closed
and locked receptacle with kind OF
rapture; but lie had never opened nor
examined it.
But he had been away at least some
hours Of each day since. Jcssca passed
much of her me in her room, up.
stairs. Suppose that somo prowlcr
had discovered the prize, and robbed
the robber?
These torturng fears became at last

girl has shown us that obedience to her
father, consideration for his wishes,
was her law in life; hence, it will not

she fastened past Randall Belmont on

how when Gen. Garfield was near the point
