CHAPTER XIV.
INVESTIGATION.

Mrs. Caryl had been telegraphed to
come directly to Boston to give her
evidence regarding the Identification.
But, instead of her arrival the reply
had been sent that Mrs. Caryl was Ill
had been somewhat i'll for a few
days and the news had Frustrated
her; she could not leave her bed--im-
possible for her to come.
A summons was sent at the same
time to Julia, who was thus compelled
to leave the scene of her labors.
She was really indignant with
Ralph. He always failed in every
thing, and even in getting himself
killed he must foil all her plans. 1t
was exasperating to have to leave
Dick Burt at this time.
She was almost alarmed when she
thought seriously of the matter, and
found that she was interested in Dick
Burt more than she had ever been in
any one.
She knew that she was under a
kind of infatuation regarding him, but
she yielded herself to it, knowing it
was dangerous to do so, and that thus
yielding would bring her only repent
ance; but this knowledge made no
difference.
The thing she had begun only as
the fulfllment OF a bargain with her
brother, she was now impelled to
accomplish by the force of a passion
that was growing up within her. Not
that .she even yet thought she would
marry Dick, but she must bring him
to her feet. Time enough then to de-
eide that question. Mixed with the
curious attraction he had for her was
the fierce desire to humiliate him.
Had he not kissed her, and without
a word of love? And she had per.
mitted it-nay, she could not recall
that moment without pleasure
which half frightened but wholly cap
tivated her. Yes, so sure as she
lived, Dick Burt should come to her
suppIant.
Such thoughts filled her mind as
the cars bore her rapidly away from
the shore and toward Carylville.
II was not very dutiful or affec-
tionate daughter who came home to
her sick mother, She had so little
affection for Ralph that she wondered
why her mother should bemoan him
so.
Had he ever brought anything but
misfortune upon them?

was very cunning and had all her wits
In full activity.
He thought her still overpowered
by the scene she had just passed
through, while she was only thinking
of the most telling manner to adopt
with him.
"if could only give you courage!"
he whispered, leaning very close.
She looked up at him. In the dim
light she could see how full OF en-
ticsng fire her eyes were, albeit her
face was so pale.
"You are so strongi" she murmur-
ed. what should have done with
out you to-night?"
Burt blushed with pleasure. He had
no idea Of woman's subtle art; he
was quite ready to be intoxicated with
girl who spoke and looked like this.
Still he was stubborn, and he was
not going to give up Kate Purcell,
though he had forgotten her now.
Il am glad I have been any help to
you" he said.
"And | am alone now-Ralph has
gone. OH" and she shuddered and
sobbed.
She did not say she had never seen
Ralph much and that she had never
cared a fig for him.
Burts first impulse was to beg her
to take him as a lifelong companion,
but then the thought OF Kate came
into his mind, and he did not wish to
shut himself off from all chance of
securing her, so he took refuge in
uttering some vehement protestations
of being at Julia's command for any
service whatever.
Julia was angry as she thought she
saw what withheld him from an avow-
al, and her voice was still tenderer
and still more suggestive as he said:
"You are very kind-too kind Do
not make my future life more thaa
ever lonely by the memory OF your
words"
Burt drew her nearer to him, while
he uttered some hurried, foolish
words which did not mean anything,
and then he bent down and kissed her
two or three times with fierce pas
sion. She did not resist. For the
moment she believed she had secured
him. Then she remembered that he

consider themselves bound by such
things-indeed, she was wise enough
to know that men of honor" do not
invariably marry every girl to whom
they have murmured passionate
words and who they have kissed.
At this moment the carriage drew
up at the Old Colony depot, and the
door was flung open by the driver.
Julia always thought If she had had
FIVE minutes more time, then she
would have heard an offer of mar
rage from Dick Burt. But she did
not have the five minutes, and she
was obliged to alight and walk into
the depot, not in an enviable frame OF
mind.
But Dick was secretly relieved G
little at the interruption. This wo-
man had for him a kind of intoxica-
ton, but he was always conscious of
the fear that, IL he should ever be
led into marrying her, he should eter-
nally regret 1t.
He was shrewd, though he did not
dissect his feelings; for aught he
knew, Julia Caryl was all that she
now seemed. yet something held him
back. Was 1t loyalty to Kate Pur-
cell? He believed it to be that.
It was nearly eleven o'clock when
Julia reached the beach that night,
and she retired to bed very much dis
satisfied with herself-borne down by
a sense of failure that almost over
whelmed that other sense Of horror
at her brothers fate.
