tugged and shook In vain, and there
was no more time to lose. But the
consciousness of danger lent the
young man unnatural strength. After

CHAPTER X.

Meanwhile the Justice and his clerk
were seated at Widespread table in
the dining-room. which also looked
out upon the garden. Edward could
not send the gentlemen. who had TAX
city Immediately; so he had invited
them to dinner. Mr.. Thompson could
not find words enough to express his
regret and sympathy for the sorrow
oyerhanging the household, but he
saw no reason why he should not have
comfortable meal on that account
He thought it perfectly natural that
Edward should excuse himself and re-
main in the drawing-room. No one
could feel offended with the grief
stricken nephew, but he himself dis
eussed all the more eagerly the good
things set before him. and was ably
supported by his clerk.
The old gentleman only regretted
Doctor Blackwood's absence, and ad-
mired the sense of duty which would
not permit him even to appear at din
ner. He was just giving his factotum
discourse concerning this distin-
guished physician, at the same time
helping himself to a large piece of
roast meat. His factotum listened
most dutifully and took a still larger
slice, when the subject of the con-
versation suddenly entered
