CHAPTER XIV.
THE QUESTION SETTLED.

1t has so far been the somewhat unfor-
tunate province of the author, whilst
pursuing this narrative, to be obliged to in
troduoe the reader to scenes which for the
most part are not of a particularly cheer
full character. The only apology that
can be offered for this must lie in the fact
that it was a condition wholly unavoid-
able in relating the singular and roman
tic experience which forms SO memora-
BILE passage in the life of the hero of
this story. At the same time, however,
it maybe a source of satisfaction to those
who like, when they have followed the
fortunes of various characters through
the pages of book, to close the volume
with 4 knowledge that the actors all
come out right, and are comfortably dis
posed of in the end, to learn that the Sc
DUEL to the little drama upon which the
curtain will now shortly be descending
was of happier nature than the earlier
events seemed to promise.
Clara Lambert did not die from the
effects of her accident, although the one
puzzle of DR.. Scott's professional life has
been to understand how she managed to
elude the grim spectre when he would

(ALL RIGHTS RESERVED

have staked his whole medical reputa-
ton that no human skill could have
saved her. From the moment of closing
her eyes after pronouncing the word
mother, as described at the conclusion
of the last chapter, she lay for many
hours in conatose state, with no other
indication that she yet breathed than
was to be got by tho delicate blurring
of o mirror held close to her nostrils.
Then, after long night of suspense and
heart-subduing anxiety to those who had
watched by her beaside, she suddenly
manifested symptoms Of returning con-
seriousness; and in little while from
first evincing signs OF animation was
wide awake again, staring in startled
way round upon the faces Of her parents,
the doctor and Rawion. Not to protract
this sickroom scene: during the course of
the day she grew so much better as to be
able to sit up and talk, although still
complaining of the sense Of pressure upon
her head. Mr.. Lambert, anxious not
TO tax the kindness of the Hartrees, de-
terlnined as soon as ever the poor girl
was well enough to be moved to have
her carried down into carriage, and
driven over to his own house, and on
the following day DR.. Scott pronounced
her to be sufficiently recovered to return
home. Accordingly she was conveyed
into closed vehicle, and driven with
her Iatner ana mOUner TO FltZ William
Lodge; but scarcely had she been lifted
indoors and laid upon the couch in the
dining room, when she complained of
violent pains in her head. A doctor was
sent for, took her temperature, inquired
into the nature of her sufferings, and
then ordered her to bed at once, telling
Mr.. Lambert that his daughter had got
an attack of brain fever, and would need
the most unremitting care and watchful-
ness to preserve her life. Then followed
o whole fortnight of that most trying
condition of uncertainty which always
enters house hand in hand with sick
ness; at the end of which time the crisis
of the malady had passed, and the doctor
pronounced all danger to be over.

USED HIS RAZOR.
Colored Man in Boston Cuts His Wife's
Throat and Then His Own.

Cambridge, Mass, January 5.-Early
this morning, Henry harrington, colored,
cut the throat of his wife, also colored,
and then cut his own throat. Both
victims are still alive although there are
slim chances for their recovery. Barring
ton and his wife attended colored ball
last evening, and it is alleged that he OBJ
jected to his wife's action in dancing
with certain man and vainly expostulated
with her. After some further trouble, he
took his wife home.
They had not been home very long, the
neighbors state, before hrs. Darlington
was seen to slip out of the house She
went back to the hall. When Darlington
found this out he took his razor and
awaited the womanS return.
Officers Mccarthy and Mulvaney found
Mrs. harrington stumbling down stairs
of her home wounded and bleeding at
about 2.10 O'Clock this morning. She was
sent to the Massachusetts General hospital.
There it was discovered that murder had
probably been attempted.
The house was searched and in the rear
upper room Darlington was found on the
floor unconscious though still. breathing
heavily and with his windpipe terribly
cut. He was sent to the hospital.
A note was found, which was written
by Darlington, saying suhat he regretted
that his wife had brought the gray hairs
of his mother in sorrow to the grave.
This morning complaint was prepared
against Darlington charging him with
assault upon his wife with intent to kill.
This will be held however, pending the
result of the injuries of both.

FIRE IN SHINES CLOTHING STORE.
Slight Blaze Which Was Extinguishet
without Much Loss.

The first fire of the new year occurred
at IL. so O'Clock last night. An alarm
from box A summoned the department to
the corner of Union and Middle streets
where a hot fire was getting in its work
in the cellar stair case in Simon Shine
store at the corner of Union and Middle
streets. Afer a few minutes of lively
work the blaze was extinguished. Only
the prompt discovery of the fire by some
young men in the neighboring all night
lunch room and the prompt action of
Officer Conlon who pulled in the alarm
prevented more DISASTROUS blaze. AS
it was the woodwork about the staircase
and some clothing and bags of rags were
destroyed. The stock Of the store was
not at all burnt but suffered some from
smoke.
Mr.. Shines loss will be small, but is
covered by insurance. The damage to the
building was small and SIS will cover it,.
This is also covered by insurance. The
building was owned by the Clapp estate.
Mr.. Shine had $500 insurance in the
stock in the little agency.

1t is pleasure in those days of cheap
literature to call the attention of our
readers to the conspicuous announcement
of the new years programme of the one
publication which stands -eminently
for the best there is in literature and art
the Century Magazine. A Professor in
one of the largest colleges in the United
States recently made this statement
"The Century Company has furnished
two Of the masterpieces of literature of
the last decade: Sloane's Napoleon and
The Life of A braham Lincoln"
Besides it's literary merits, the reader is
not only sure that nothing will ever ap-
near in it's editorial columns that has not
an absolutely elevating influence, but it
is the one publication whose advertising
columns are also carefully edited, and
nothing allowed therein which cannot be
depended upon as to the claims made for
the article advertised.
