are lying stark and still down in the

ever he may be, struck them, and no
body can touch them until after the
coroner has been here and had every
body in the house up before him to
find out what they know about ii.
| May the Virgin save US, but it's nor
rible sight-the mistress face horribly
dishgured. and the master with All,
poor heart'"
This last exclamation was called
forth by poor Grazia, who, with a low
moan of horror, fell back upon her
pillow, white and still in a dead faint.
Mary rushed away for water, eau de
cologne, and other remedies, and then
busted herself trying to restore the
girl to consciousness and the misery
awaiting her.
She was young and strong, and well,
consequently she soon revived, and
then tried to brace herself to face the
terrible ordeal before her
Who can describe the wretched days
that followed days when the house
was ransacked from top to bottom by
officers and detectives, in search OF a
possible implement or death, and
thronged by curious tragedy-Iovers,
who are always on the lookout for par
ticulars of the latest horror; days that
were full of wearisome examinations,
and all the sickening details pertaining
10 the double murder, not to mention
the frightiul nights that were made
tanlJld more CHASTITY by the remem-
brance Of the repulsiye experiences of
daylight.
We will not attempt to rehearse all
the horrors Of the miserable time
such experiences are already but too
familiar, for the whole land is TEEN
ing with them, and the newspapers
which food the country are filed with
Them.
We will only give the result of the
inquest which was wretchedly unsatis-
factory, and, in some respects, eX-
tfemely startling The whole affair
seemed developed in an Impenetrable
mystery, and theories were as plenty
and varied as the people and charac-
ters who thrunged the house from NOR
bid curiosity and other motives.
The most that could be definitely as
eertained was that Mr.. and Mrs. Kings
ley had Unexpectedly returned from
Washington late on Thursday evening,
and that they had been found stretched
dead upon the parlor floor, by one OF
the servants, about seven O'Clock the
next morning.
Both had been killed by some sharp,
heavy instrumental could not be de-
.ermiucd just what-and their appear
ance was revolving in the extreme.
There was not the slightest clew to
indicate the perpecrator Of the deed;
but. during the long and wearlsome
examination, IT came out that Grazia
was the last person who had been in
the parlJr on tbat evening previous to
her parents return; by her own con-
Gesslou, She had left the room only a
gw moments before their probable en-
trance. while her handkerchief had
been found. saturated with blood, lying
upon fine Hoar near the body of Mrs
Kingsley
