Providence Correspondence Of the
Boston Journal Mrs. Claus PetersoI1
a resident Of South Auburn, had a
thrilling encounter with a big rattle
snake today, and the ever handy ket-
tie Of hot water undoubtedly saved her
life. AS she stood in her cellar kitchen
neal the cook stove, she was startled
to hear a rafting noise, the like of
which she had never heard before. She
was charmed at first and then terrified
at the long reptile which was winding
its way down the cellar stairs. When
she recovered from her fright some
what she started toward the snaAE
with a rolling pin, and it curled I'M ! !
an ominous coil. Then It's rattle ra44'i
out furionsly and she retreated to IL
stove, and seeking a kettle Of hot VI,
ter threw 1t on the snake. The reptik
writhed and o died. Some TIM
afterward Mrs. Peterson went into tn
yard and found her COW dead, killed
the snake.

who stood close by knew just what had
happened.
Mrs. Martin found the hall door
standing wide open, but not a servant
in sight, and, unnoticed, she entered
and proceeded directly to Philips
study.
He was not there. She then fastened
toward his dressing room-for she
knew the house we'll, and could AVE

in 1t. No one opposed her, for here, as
on the lower floor, not a servant was
to be seen, the reason being that some
account Of the scene in the church
had already reached. them by way OF
the coachman, and they were all
crowded below stairs discussing it.
Mrs. Martin tried the door Of Mrs.
Grayson's dressing room, which opened
to her touch, although no one replied
to her knock. She entered softly, clos
ing the door after her.
In less than five minutes h came
out, with a wild. excited face, from
which every vestige Of color a fled,
while the slight sprinkling Of powder
!! and rouge that she always wore, only
served to make her look more CHASTITY.
She glanced up and down the hall,
and gave a sigh of relief at seeing no
one; she then went down stairs as
quickly as her trembling feet would
carry her, holding tight to the bannis-
ter as she an.
Wren she had reached the lower
floor she summoned all her energies to
aid her, and Jung a violent peal on the
first bell-pull she could lay hands OIL.
A servant came running up stairs in
haste, and looked confused at meeting
her angry gaze.

"Oh, I beg pardon, ma'am. We all
thought James vas here. as usual-the
wedding day, ma'am-please excuse
US. We're a little f1urried."
'That is no reason why the front
door should be standing wide open, and
not a servant to be seen. Where Is
Mrs. Grayson?"
The girl scarcely understood at first.

is in her own room, ma'am. She would

The servant obeyed the imperious
command, but Mr.. Grayson was not IN
his own apartment.
''The dressing opens out OF TINS
room, I suppose"
Eyes, ma'am; but there's another
door that opens on h hall"
Very we'll. Show me the door,"
It was put a step further, and MRS.
Martin knocked loudly; then, receiv-
ing no answer. she threw open the door
and entered. ,trt
Before she had taken three steps into
the rccm she uttered a loud scream.
and almost fell against the terrified
girl.
Lord, ma'am, what, is the matter?"
Look! look!" screamed Mrs. Mar
tin, pointing with outstretched hand
toward an appalling sight.
philip Grayson was lying In the mid
die of the floor, his head in a pool OF
blood, and his white. strong race ana
fixed, wide-open eyes staring up at
them.

CHATTER v.

when the momentary stupor OF
amazement was over, the Mortified SER
want was the first to make use of her
voice. 2
With half-articulated expressions
of terror the girl ran shsieking from
the room, her alarm increasing instead
of growing less as she fled from the
shocking sight. .
Hysterical and terrified, she was soon
in the midst Of her fellow servants,
and in a few minutes 1t was known to
every one in the house that Philip
Grayson, who had been the master OF
It. lay up stairs, foully murdered.
There was a scene of wild confusion
guests shocked and distressed, women
fainting, servants gossiping.
And all this while the newly-madc
mistress Of the mansion remained In
her W room, the door OF which was
still; fast locked and bolted, the last to
learn of her sudden and terrible widow
hood.
with an irrepressiblc shudder, Mrs.
Martin turned from the sight Of the

from her wild words, that her excite.

taken place. &
With the resolute quickness thaA
characterized her on ALL occasions q
emergency, she was by the side Of Mrs.
Mowbray in q. moment, and with q few
words had Gained the mothers frantic
excitement @S sss
Placing her strong, white hand On
Mrs. Mowbray's shoulder, Mrs. Martin
said, In firm, quiet tones:
tcYour daughter lis well. You have
misunderstood what has occurred. II
Is my poor brother, Philip Grayson. who
has been murdered ssSS$
Mrs. Mowbray ceased waiting and
calling on Clarice instantly. She did
not at once take In the full meaning OF
Mrs. Martins words, but she under
stood. vaguely. that her daughter was
safe.
Your Sbrother-Philip G%rayson!" she
repeated, in a dazed manner; and then,
suddenly compromising, she burst into
tears. For some moments she wept, In
a weak, hysterical way, and then she
spoke, calmly enough: I'm sincerely
sorry, Mrs. Martin! What a very. very
shocking thing! And my poor child,
Clarice-let me go to her. How does
she bear up under such an awful ca.
lamity??"
well we don't know yet" Mrs. Mar
tin returned, with a degree of cons
tempt that she took no trouble to con-
ceal, ''but, in view of your late re-
marks, we cannot reasonably expect
your daughter to be much overcome
by losing a husband whom she wa
forced to marry while her heart be-
longed to her more favored lover"
Mrs. Mowbary flushed holly that her
own words were being flung back at
her, and by n whom she felt, Instinct
lively, was an enemy to herself. as well
as to Clarice.
She could have bitten her tongue with
vexation that it. should have waggeo
so i~ndiscreetly. And. Mrs. Martin had
spoken in SO loud a tone that her words
had been heard by all the servants. as
well as by DR.. Sprague, who had been
standing close beside her.
It was. already evident that all. who
had heard her words, and Mrs. Martina
spiteful repetition Of them, now put
their own construction on them, and
Mrs. Mowbray had a vague feeling
that, in some way. she had done her
daughter serious harm.
That she had actually directed suspi-
cion toward Clarice by supplying a rea-
son why! the bride would gladly have
rid herself Of an obnoxious husband,
did not suggest itself to her silly brain;
but Brian Mowbray was quicker to In
terpret the meaning of the looks and
whispers that were now being ex-
charged by those about them.
He speedily reached his wife's side,
and, selling her hand, drew 1t forcibly
within his arm, where he held 1t with
no gentle pressure.
BE silent now he whispered, in a
hoarse, angry whisper. Heaven knows
what harm you have already done with
that silly tongue of yours. Keep quiet,
and do no more!"
His angry words and manner passed
unnoticed, for at that moment the po-
lice arrived, and while everyone made
way for them,-the attention Of all pres
emit was centered upon, thems
