Helen opened her eyes
Howard, the men mast not give up
work; the money--their wages, if they

cried, wringing her hands.
'Yes, Helen; and for awhile they

blast might uncover the ledge. Repeated

cry. We are poorer than the veriest beg
gar of the street, for Jife is denied us. Has
life would kill us, and there is nothing
else left us. Listen to me, dear, and help
me think"
Long, long into the night they talked.
and the nurse afterward remembered that
she heard them in the nursery during
the wee Sfna' hours OF the morning. She
saw them give the children each drink,
and, through her open door, watched the
light as it disappeared down the hall.
81 was sleepy, and did not get up, as 1
covered, for l thought their mother would
see to that"
This she said the next morning. amid
her sobs, when questioned by the crowd
that had gathered in answer to her horri-
fed shrieks on seeing the children stiff
and cold.
She had oversight herself and risen a
little late. Dressing hastily, she called
the children. AS they did not answer,
she went to the bed
There lay May and little Lucille, smil-
ing, as if asleep, but stone dead. She
rushed shrielling to her Mistress room,
and burst open the door without waiting
to knock. On the table were several sill
yer coins, and a statement signed by
Courteney, telling why he had taken the
desperate step, and cold and dead in the
bed lay husband and wife.
A swift and subtle poison had done its
work painlessly, and five corpses were
buried from the grand house that day.
They took up a collection for the nurse
and sent her home to England. The
other servants were from the town, and
the house was shut up for a long time =
Several years passed, and the Rocky
Bar. for so it was called, fell into the
