CHAPTER X.-CoSrrSuEp,.

A second and third attempt Miss Full
ton made to solve the mystery OF the
haunted chamber. On the second night
the place was not visited. and the adj
venturous girl had slept soundly from
2 o'clock until daybreak. But the third
night. just as II O'Clock struck, she
heard the rattle of key in the lock
and directly the door swung upon,
creakingly, and the tall figure she had
once before seen stepped over the TIRES
hold. This time the figure was black
only, simple black. and the veil that
covered her face and shoulders was
sable Grape. She went forward until
she stood upon the blood stain on the
carpet and then sinking down to her
knees she muttered some unintelligi-
BILE words that sounded like denunci-
alton. Then she rose quickly and turn
ed toward the closet where hung the
bridal veil.
Helen sprang forward and grasped
her firmly by the arm. A hoarse cry
broke from under the black veil. With
a gigantic strength the arm was torn
from Helen's grasp, and, as before, the
figure vanished in the shadows of the
corridor. But she had left behind her
a souvenir. For closely ciasped in
Telen's hand was piece of torn cloth,
and on carrying it to the light, Helen
saw that it was a fragment of heavy,
lustreless black silk. The face grew
pale az marble and she leaned on a ia
BILE for support.

ment had brought upon him a great
change. His face was pale and atten-
uated, his lips had grown thin by con-
slant suppression. and his eyes. once so
bright and daring, were sad and misty
with the tears pride would not let him
shed. For as the time drew near when
his reprieve would expire, and the fatal
sentence Of the law must be executed,
he felt strange, yearning desire for
life. Before, when he had been so near
death, he had hardy asked for life;
some way, 1t did not seem so easy to die
now. Once, he had loved in a wild,
passionate way-a little short Of mad
ness--Imcgene Ireton; he would have
given his life TO have brought her one
sion had died violent death. 1t had
been very long since he had thought Of
her with a single thrill, and gradually
there had crept into his heart to be en-
shrined there in secrecy, the sweet face
of Agnes Trenholme, Just as he had last
seen it, when she lay senseless in the
arms of DR.. Hudson, at the foot of the
gallows from which she had saved him.
A thrill of exquisite pleasure swept over
him, as he thought, If she had not loved
him she would not have risked so much
to save him, He flushed. his mouth
grew tender as a woman's at the
thought-he put out his arms as If to-
ward some imaginary object, but
dropped them again with sad sigh.
