Canst thou whose youth and beauty have been

"So!" he exclaimed, fortune favors The disap-

popular belief in their guilt and then Eugene may
doubt me if he will. Yes, shall be the baron of

Raising Neela from the ground, he wrapped the
veil around her and bore her swiftly through the
cret passages with which he well acquainted, to
the seashore where he found boat which he had
dered to be in readiness. Laying her gently on the
sands, he approached the vessel to give
sary instructions to the boatmen.
The fresh air playing upon her face revived Neela's
senses, and by the light of dawn she beheld large

brain, and she who had so loved her mother while
living feared to look upon her when dead The very
stiffness made the blood creep cody in her veins and
she would have given worlds to hear the sound of
human voice. In her despair she again had recourse
to prayer.
Neea was calmer when she had concluded, and
irnprintng warm kiss the cold face of the dead
she covered it with veil and returned her seat
She had sat about quarter of an hour, musng
her desolate situation, when slight noise aroused
her and raising her head with start, her eyes fell

have shreked but her tongue Glove to the roof of her
mouth, and she unable to utter a sound.
" Fear not, maiden" said Leslie, as he took her

his touch aroused all her dormant faculties and she
uttered wild cry for help.
Repeat that cry said Leslie, drawing dagger

Leslie arose. still retaining his hold on the dag

the face of her mother and he bent forward to
gaze, shudder passed through his iron frame, and
he felt momentary thrill of horror.
