lips quivered.

"If you could see my heart-but there,

demands that both of us chould be

believe that it gives me an opportunity
such as a thousand lives, If | might
live them one after another on this
earth, would not bring-the opportunity
of serving you in an emergency involv-
ing awful risks and the most narrowing
difficulty"
He spoke wildly, yet with such evil
dent, deep purpose that the girl was
startled into calmness. There is such
a possibility, though few there be who
are ever called upon to know it by ac-
tual experience.
"Tell me exactly what you mean"
she said, and the steadness of her tone
amazed him.
"You love Robert MAXWELL"
"How can you ask me that? I am to
be his wife,

1t means but little. Do you love him
enough to do him any service that one
human being can do another? Do you
love him as | love you? Stop! This Is
no time to evade and disguise the truth.
Hear me out. When | tell you what

have to be made. You will know that
no motive of human conduct save love

He cannot ask 1t. You must do 1t
without the asking. You must serve
him at your own cost and at your own
, risk, and at once"
What does he require of me?"
Surely you must suspect"
II cannot guess your meaning"
where Is he now?"
"You know well enough. He is in
Boston doing his best to solve the mys-
terry of my sisters DEATH"
can you believe 1t? Do you not see
that his sudden departure is flight?
Not word You must hear me. Who
resisted to the utmost the opening of
that coffin? Who has been most diligent
in casting suspicion upon my brother?
Who, at the disclosure of the secret of
that grave which so nearly closed over
the most horrible of crimes, was the
first to leave this place? Already the
detective suspects him, but 1t has been
reserved for me to find the, absolute
proof of his guilt"
He spoke with such appalling con-
viction, that his words froze the heart
of the girl. Yet che found strength to
say:

you could not longer doubt: would you

of the bloodhound in his heart, and
would yet track the criminal down.
The clergyman grew impatient when
ever Mulligan was out of his sight. He
wished to know every new fact the in
stant 1T was brought to light. Only by
concentrating his mind upon the prob
lem of detection could he keep his grief
within bounds. Blessed Is he who has
work to do ait such a time. Early in
the evening Frank Ames called upon
Mr.. Warren, whom he found pacing his
study in eager expectation of a visit
from the detective. Frank brought
painful news. His mother had not raj
lied from the shock of the terrible scene
at the grave. On the contrary, her en-
durance had been so seriously over
taxed that. at her time OF life, the
gravest results were to be feared. She
lay III, and had relapsed into merci-
full Inconsistencies of her sorrow. In
DR.. Maxwelrs absence there was no
competent physician in Williston, and
1t had been necessary to telegraph for
one who lived in. the Junction. He had
not then arrived. There never is any
lack Of good nursing in a New England
town, however, and Samuel Ames had
found abundant help for the bedside of
his wife.
On hearing this news, the clergyman
thought 1t his duty to go at once to Mr..
Ames' house. Frank remained with
Anna Warren.
At such a time, when tine whole viii
lage fairly thronged with excitement,
Ii may not be d matter for wonder that
Frank Ames displayed agitation. Yet
Anna, who was at tremendous nervous
tension herself, could not help remark
ing upon the condition of her compan-
ion, The pailor of his face was
heightened by his heavy brows and
black mustache. His hands trembled.
He paced the little parlor in the manner
of one tortured by the most narrowing
thoughts.
"The sight of you" said Anna. makes
me regard myself as Il marvel of self
control"
He wheeled about suddenly and faced
her.
And the sight of you,' he said,
makes me lose what little self-control
had before"
His tone frightened her. She asked
him with a trembling voice what he
meant by that.
Anna" he said approaching her, 1--WE
have been friends a good many years.
/ remember you almost from the day
you We're born. and i have watched you
grow year by year into the beautiful
woman that you are tonight. How
have you regarded me?"
