CHAPTER II.
A BLOODY SLEEVE.

S
Sutherlandtown was q seaport. The
village, which was small one, con-
sisted of one long street running par
allel with the coast and numerous
cross streets running down from the
hillside and ending on the wharfs.
On one of the corners thus made stood
the Webb house, with its front door
on the main street and its side door
on one of the hillside lanes. AS the
group of men and boys who had been
In search of Mr.. Sutherland entered
this last mentioned lane they could
pick out this house from all the others,
as 1t was the only one In which light
was still burning. Mr.. Sutherland lost
no time in entering upon the scene of
the tragedy. AS his imposing figure
emerged from the darkness and paused
on the outskirts of-the crowd blocking
up every entrance to the house, muir

a way was made for him to the front
door.

AS he uttered these words he felt an
other quick pressure on his arm. Look
ing down, he saw leaning against him
the form of young woman, but before
he could address her she had started
upright again and was moving on with
the throng. 1t was Miss Page.

A MENTAI. WRECK.


AS they re-entered the larger room
they were astonished to come upon
Miss Page standing in the doorway.
She was gazing at the recumbent figure
of the dead woman, and for moment
seemed unconscious of their presence.
How did you get in?s Which Of my
men We're weak enough to let you pass
against my express instructions?'
asked the constable. who was of an
irritable and suspicious nature.
She let the hood drop from her head
and. turning, surveyed him with Il slow
smile. There was witchery in that
smile sufficient to affect q much more
cultivated and callous nature than his,
and though he had been proof against

She had not a good voice and she knew
1t, but she covered up this defect by a
choice of intonations that carried her
lightest speech to the heart. Hard

approval as he ever gave to any one.

''Thank you," was her demure reply,
her lips dimpling at the corners in a
way to shock the sensitive Mr.. Suther-
land.

lines Of the noble figure OH the couch,
he remarked with an air of mild re-
proof:
Il do not understand you, Miss Page.

"Oh, don't send me away, entreat

which she probably regretted. for she
instantly sought to cover up the anxl-
ETY. 1t showed by submissive bend of
the head and a step backward. Neither
Mr.. FentOn nor Mr. Sutherland seemed
to hear the one or see the other, their
attention having returned to the more
serious matter in hand.
