What is more, he raised pistol and

No; I was then in the summer

lieved him and was satisfied. After he
had gone I found note on the floor,
and picking it up knew that Mr.. Lucas
must have dropped it from his pocket,
for it was addressed to him. should
never have thought of reading it, but 1
recognized the writing and knew it
came from Virgie, SO read it at once. .
Lucas started in surprise, but did not
speak. Alice continued:
'sWhen I saw By the contents Of the
note that Virgie invited MI. Lucas to
meet her at night in the summer house,
I determined to be there also. I did so
because'-here she seemed little
confused, and her rich blood mantled
her cheek-''well, because Virgie is en-
gagged to n:y brother, and for the min
ute I could not understand why she
made an appointment with another
man. Most Of those present smiled at
the girls naive explanation. 81 reach

appointed place. Not long after they
came. heard nearly all that passed. y
"Tell us, please, as much as you can

"They talked quite awhile. and then
she left. What they said was all about
my brother. It seems that he had writ
ten to Virgie, in the care of some friend,
and asked her to meet him that night
down by the river ard tell him whether
she would marry him.. He said that
would be the only way he could come
back after what Mr.. Lewis had done.
Just at this point the dog commenced to
bark, and they spoke lower, perhaps be-
cause they thought the dog had heard
their voices, and they were afraid to
attract attention, and, in fact. after a
minute, the brute did stop his noise,
but it was hard for ne to hear the rest
of the talk At any rate made out
that Virgie was afraid that Walter
would be angry il she did not go away
with him at onre, and that, she said,
was out of the question. She asked Mr..
Lucas to meet my brother after she had
seen him, so as to prevent him from do
ing anything desperate. :"
''What did ycu understand her to

commit suicide. .

down utterly, sobbing SO that it was
necessary to delay the proceedings till
she could recover from her agitation.
Lucas, much disturbed, arose and ad-
dressed the coroner:
esquire, is it necessary to continue
the examination of Miss Marvel?''
eff it could have been avoided, ]
should net have called her.
"But can you not let it drop now,
