who had fallen by the way. My first
impulse was to take hold of the person
and ascertain if help was needed, but
for some reason I did not, but hurried
home to get aid. Mr.. K. was still with
us and on hearing my statement said
Yes, know. The man is dead, and
it is fortunate that you did not attempt
to touch the body. Should we now try
to remove it or even to go to it we
should no doubt be seen and at once
suspicion would attach itself to us, and
spone could tell the consequences. We
might cause riot before morning. P"
1t should be said that this suspicion
would not have been because we were
foreigners, for native under similar
circumstances would likewise have run
the risk of being charged with the muir

The young mar, however, acted Qultd
differently. He had hardly reached
home before. in the rush or business,
he forgot both his sweetheart and his
oath, and before very long he married
some Gther woman. Avenging fate did
not long permit this utter faithlessness
to 90 unpublished. The first child Of
this marriage, a strong. handsome boy,
was found slain by Il weasel when only
three months old. A second son en-
Joyed life but a little longer. when he
met an untimely death by being drown
ed in a well.
The unhappy mother. saddened by
The untoward death Of her beloved chill
dren sought in vain for any of her
own sins that might have brought down
Il curse upon her head. At last she
begged her husband TO tell ner the
story of all his career previous TO their
marriage. COnscience-stricken. the af-
nicted husband could not withstand her
searching questions and finally revealed
the whole secret Of his broken vows.
To ner this accounted for all Of their
m.sfortunes. which now appeared TO be
only a just punishment for his unfaith-
fulness. She Immediately sought a di-
vorce from him. begging him as soon
as he was released. to seek his former
love and by the fulfilling of his vows
propitiate angry fate.
The repentant man gladly agreed to
do as she wished and FASTENED to the
town in which the faithful maiden
lived. Once there, he inquired ON ev-

no time in seeking her parents. TO

maiden. The youth was no longer
such for time ana trouble had altered
him not a iittle-and the true-hearted
maiden did not at first recognize him.
Thinking that he was some new sutton
she once more pretended to be seized
with epilepsy. Soon the scene changed,
