hours and talk TO Mary OF her Iowa

Old Morley went to the inn.
The talk was of the old days when
Morley was the landlord.
Tom waited upon him hand and foot.
Mr.. Taylor proposed his health In
some touching words OF remembrance.

which had fallen upon his old age. and
enforcing the moral that they must all
bend to the DEGREES OF Providence.
Old Morley sat and smiled in n
mournful way at the kindly efforts ot
his neighbors and friends to comfort
him.
They had sent for him In chaisc.
and promised Mrs. Meadows to see him
safely to the farm In time for her. and
him and Mary. to hear the Christmas

bells were few and the ringers were

at Dersin.hnm. attracted thither by
the consideration that the soil closely
resembles that In which bulbs are 80

Old Morley. and tho men who saw
Mary come nome that autumn night
from the abbey. had strange visions OF
the bright. gay young traveller who
had TESTED with them. who mad fished
in the river. who had played bowls on
the green. and It was like a nightmare
| OF an untlmely resurrection--the figure
in it's rough tRrred swaddling clouts
hanging by its iron collar. waiting with
/ the wind and rattling its chains in the
tempest.
In the second winter. after the set
ting up OF the inhuman sign on the
! Kirkstall road. Mary Lockwood had.
so old Morley and Mrs. Meadows
| thought. given signs OF awakening rea-
| son: but the hope in which they fondly
| INDUCED arose simply from the fact
that Mary's constitution was utterly
1 breaking down.
| She hal grown quiet. and they in
their Ignorance said thoughtful. She
walked less. and sat longer by the win
dow. looking at the sky.
When the snow came and silence
reigned over the land. she smiled at
the white flakes as they fell. and held
out her thin hand to catch them. and
would seem to wonder that they disap-
peared.
Then came Christmas Eve.
The new landlord Of the Star and
Garter would insist that Joseph Nor
! ley should come to the inn and sip one
glass from the wassail bowl in the old
inglenoOk. and meet the friends who
sorrowcd with him and held him in
honor and respect.
Mrs. Meadows urged him to go. She
never kept these feasts. now that Jack
had left her. 1t would content her to
spend the evening with her brother
who was an invalid. and teach Mary
to call their beloved by his name
their dear Jack-for the widow had
long since forgiven Mary the part she
had played in his voluntary exile, and
had come TO regard her as poor for
lorn daughter. no sympathetic memory
lingering in her mind Of the rival who
had e1p.ated his crimes on the gal
lows
She tried to forget this shadow upon

CHAPTER XIII.-(Continued)
Mary Lockwood looked at Lim. and
then her eyes wandered round the
court.
"It is very painful. no doubt" said
the judge. turning toward her and ad-
dressing her In the midst of sobs that
were audible from more than one cor
ner OF the great hall of justice; for the
vast eoncourse was painfully moved;
moved ~ one man. as one woman: II

some could only sob. as they watched

Judge. attend to the question OF the

back her thick tTesses OF hair that had
fallen from their bands. said In what
sounded like new volce-a sweet,
strange. confident voice:

Yes. We sat beneath the elder. the
leaves were brown. but there Is no

She looked u; the dock. the Judge. the

Eh. saw none Of them. Her great blue
eyes seemed to seek something away In

As she stepped down from tn. box

that rang through the place aud

next moment she had tainted. and was
carried out into the bleak March air.

CHAPTER XIV.


After a pathetic pause tn" counsel
for the prosecution rose. and. In n
voice tremuIuus with emotion. said;
My lord and gentlemen OF the jury.
that IL my case" whcreuPon the
learned counsel for the defense ad-
dressed the court for the prisoner. urE-
ms for him every point upon which a
question OF douht might be raised In
his favor: but everybody felt the YER
diet was a sorrxon- conclusion. The
prosecution closed. the Judge charged
the Jurors. and n verdict OF guilty was
quickly found.
The judge. In passing sentence. al
ludcd to the poor young woman whose
strange presence at the scene OF tn.
murder seemed like the hand OF Divine
Providence In the interest OF Justice.
In pronouncing the last penalty OF the
law he left no room for doubt that 1t
would be carried out and the road
from the highway uutSidc kirkstall
would shortly bear witneEs to the SUI
premacy OF the law In a newly erected
gibbct.
Mary Lockwood never spoke again
with the directing aid OF balanced
reason.
Tn. day before the execution they
took hor to the convicts cell. He de-
sired IT. The doctors said the inter
viow would do her neither harm nor
good. She was past all hope. She had
wandered about the inn after they took
her home. in an aImlcsB way. now
smiling at everything that was said to
her. now bursting out into petty rage:
but generally ending in fearful glance
at the qucstioncr. and a sigh OF wcari-
ness.
She took Parkcr's hand. She did not
know him. He talked to her of their
love: spoke of his misery: desired her
forgiveness. She alternately smiled or
frowned at him. Presently she both
laughed ana cried.
The warde-s who were present ut tho
interview were unnamed: not alone at
the sight OF the poor beautiful. mad
girl. but at the piteous grief of the
condemned man. whose last words
were:

Before the year had passed away. old
Morley had left the inn. and had gone
with Mary to live at Meadows Farm.
