CHAPTER ".

Dinner was over at the Grange. and
Miss Amelia and Olivia were in the
drawing-room waiting for the appear-
anc6 Of the squire, who, for form $
sake fingered behind for a quarter of
an hour In the dining-room to sip a
glass OF the famous Vanley port.
1t was Miss Amelia's custom every
evening during this quarter of an
hour to enjoy a peaceful snooze in an
armchair carefully placed by the
footman out OF the light of the lamps.
from which she awoke on the appear,
anee of her brother to declare with q
start that really in another moment
she should have been asleep.
Olivia was sitting as usual with a
book In her hand; but this evening"
the volume remained open at the
same page and instead of readi, & she
was thinking of her strange meeting
with the mysterious stranger" of the
Dell.
1t need scarcely be said that Olivia
was not sentimental. She was the
last girl in the world to invest anyone
with q romantic halo or to get up q
sentiment" over any man; but try as
she would she could not dismiss the
remembrance of the handsome face
with its sad eyes and the grave
voice with its almost tragic tones
| from her mind, and 1t was with feel
ing of actual relief from her own too
persistent dwelling upon him that she
heard the door open and looking up
saw her father enter.
Miss Amelia heard 1t too, and ierked
herself upright with the usual [.
that you Edwin? Another moment,
etc.
Olivia, looking at her father. saw
that instead of the smile OF amused
incredulity with which he usually re
ceived Miss Amelia's assertion. his
face wore an anxious and thoughtful
expression, and as he came up to hel
to get his cup of coffee, she said H. q
low voice:
as there anything the matter
papa?'
Anything the matter?" he re
peated, with little start mo
What should be the matter?"
Il don't know" said Olivia, "but
thought you looked rather worried
dear"
mo, no, he said, with a forced
kind OF cheerfuluess. 81 am sorr,
BERTHE did not stay to dinner"
so am !" said Olivia, promptly
How well he looked! Dear Bertie!
The squire glanced at her.
"Or Mr.. Bradstone,' he said. q"
thought he meant staying"
"Ies?" said Olivia in a colder
voice.

he put In bitterly, you can say thai
you called TO demonstrate with me
for allowing that savage dog OF mine
TO be loose; and that, finding me
rather decent kind OF man, you stop
ped TO make my acquaintance"
Very well" assented BERTHE. sadly.
And now, goodbye" said Fara.
deane, gently pushing him to the
door.
Berthe held his hand for a moment
or two in firm grasp, and then wen.
down the path. At the gate he looked
back. The tall, graceful figure was
leaning against the door-post, and
there was something in the attitude.
something in the expression OF the
handsome Van Dyck face, sugges-
ton of such terrible loneliness and
hopelessness and despair, combined
with uoble kind OF resignation and
calmness, that the Cherub's tender
heart throbbed with a sympathetic
pain.
Harold Faradeane remained there
lost in thought for moment; then
followed closely by the huge dog, he
went back to the room, and, as il
with an effort to discard something
from his mind, sat down at the table
and began 10 write.
He wrote for few moments with
that rapidly which indicates a stern
determination; then gradually the pen
slowed off, and presently he was alb.
sently sketching something on the
blottlng pad
Suddenly he started, and he gazed
at what he had drawn, and a strange
expression-of fear almost-leaped
into his eyes. He had drawn an out.
line, striking In its truth, of Olivia's
face.
With kind of groan he sprang to
his feet, tore the sketch into frag-
ments, ard, striding to the door, scat.
tered them to the winds.
Great Heaven!" he murmured
with bitter smile BERTHE must be
right. must be going mad! Stark,
staring, raying mad" and he thrust
MS hands into his pockets, and leaned
against the door with his head droop-
ing despondently upon his breast.
Suddenly in the. silence of the
was almost dark in the
Della sound smote
upon his ears, and caused him to look
up quickly.
1t was the sound of a runaway
horse, and no man who has heard 1t
once can ever mistake 1t. It was
coming down the road In the direction
OF the cottage. He ran down the mar
row, tiower-lined path and vaulted
over the gate just as small pony,
with a light cart behind 1t, came tear.
Ing up. Faradeane made spring for
the pony's head and caught the reins.
Even small ponies, when they are on
the bolt, are tough customers TO
tackle; aud Faradeane was thrown TO
the ground. When he got to his feet
again after a sharp tussle, and still
holding to the reins with grip of
iron, he was shocked and Mortified to
see a slim, girlish figure lying half I'm
and half out OF the cart.

wood promptly accepted, but the

main at home on Saturday, but go
down to Milford for the regular Sat

they appeared. After being care

the committee having this ground in

Douglas, Ariz., Feb. 2s.-(SpeciaD-
 c. Y. Webb is at last at liberty. After a thorough coroner's inquest and a two days preliminary hearing before Judge Mcdonald, the man who is charged with slaying A J, Brice, or Jack Dooley. in Pirtleville ten days ago, was admittel to bail yesterday afternoon. and this morning made the $500 bond, which was approved by the court.
 To friends yesterday afternoon Webb said it was all right, but he thought the court should not have held him at all. He thinks the eyi- dence in his favor was enough to show Justification for the killing of Doodey.
 This trial has been one of more or less sensational nature, as is always so where there is thought by the pub lie to have been a woman as the pri- mary case of the trouble. There were several women in this case, there being lady relatives of both parties taking an interest in the trial, consequent upon the killing. They were constantly in the court room, both during the long coroner's in- apest over the body of Brice and at 'the preliminary hearing. They added .fhnch interest to the proceedings, but the name of the real woman in the case has never come out.
 ! Bofh of the dueiists have refused to mention her name, and the people of, PTtleville seem to have too much respect for the girl and theatw men who fought two battles about her to wish her name to get into the news papers. The newspaper men have re- spected this sentiment, and it is quite likely that the tragedy will see its close at the next session of the Co- chise county grand jury without the young lady's name ever being given any publicity.
 ' This is an almost unprecedented case, and shows we'll for the high sense of decency of all concerned.
 webb's bondsmen are H. B. Rice, W. c. Collins, F. s. Douglas and c. A. Berdick.
