CHAPTER Nj.
Clarice Mowbray's Miniature.

No words could do justice to Mrs.
Shirley Austin was, indeed, the perso:.
to whom she had, at her daughter Ber-
tha's entreaty, given shelter beneath
her roof
1t was neither regret nor horror that
possessed her when she recognized in
the sick stranger the man whom she
was determined to believe the murderer
of Philip Grayson.
Far from being shocked or panied by
the discovery, her heart was filled with
fierce exultation. That Clarice was,
personally. guilty of her husbands
death, or that there could be grounds
sufficient for placing her under susSi,
cion of it, Mrs. Martin had by this time,
dismissed from her mind.
1t was evident TO the dullest compre-
hension Clarice could not have used the
stilettc herself without having on her
| costume u~nmistakable evidences of the
crime. Even feather Drained Mrs. Now
bray had possessed wit enough to point
out that circumstance; but there was
evidence enough to implicate Clarice
by means of Shirley Austin, and Mrs.

cion should fall upon the bride-at least
sufficient TO faint her good name. and
so leave an eternal stain upon it.
Fate has sent him here, truly she
thought, repeating the words OF her
daughter, without knowing what Ber-
tina had meant by them, "and / will
take pains to turn his coming to my
advantage"

Austin while these thoughts had been
passing through her mind with light
ning-like rapidity, and she saw that,
after uttering the few words forced
from him by the newsboy's cry In tho
street, Shirley had dropped down again
his face once more a blank, his eyes
vacant n his lips ~murmuring maud
bly,. wholly unconscious of everything
about MIN.
He must have possessed himself of
the ~stiletto in the church." she thought,
"and then, inquiring his way to Philip
Grayson's house, must have watched
his opportunity and killed him. The
theft of the watch and other things
must have been done by Clarice or the
French maid, Leonce, to give reason
for the crime. Between them. they con-
cealed the murderer until a favorable
moment arrived for letting him out of
the house; but what could have caused
his present condition? Horror and des-
pair at his crime, nc doubt, for. Of
course, the young man is no common
murderer, and committed the desperate
act on the impulse OF the moment, mad
dened by jealousy and disappointment.
All, Madam Clarice. and brilliant Mrs.
Mowbray, and you, too. my poor, infat-
uated brother, 1t would have been bet-
ter for all of you had my letters TO Miss
Mowbray, warning her that her young
lover yet lived, been allowed to reach
their destination! II would have saved
you al from that which nothing In
this world can now undo-death. A

Austin! 1t will kill you. beautiful Clar-

Taken at His word.

The celebrated French poet, Saint
Folk, who, I'm spite of his large income.
was always in debt, a one day In a
barber shop, waiting TO be shaved. He
was lathered. when the door opened,
and a tradesman entered, who hap
pened to be one of the poets largest
creditors.
No sooner did this man see Saint
Folk than he angrily demanded his
money.
The poet. composedly. begged him not
to make a scene.
Wont you wait for the money until
l am shaved2"
Certainly" said the other, pleased at
the prospect.
Saint Felix then made the barber a
witness of the agreement, and immedi-
ately took a towel. wiped the lather
from his face, and left the shop.
He were a beard to the emu of his life.
