CHAPTER II.
The Mystery of Dead Mans Point.

I have a very faint recollection of what
followed. I remembered nothing until
found myself the center of an excited group,
Fastening down the beach with lighted Ian
terms, to the spot where l had left Paul
Ernscliffe.
1t was she who had found him-Esme
Lyell. She had been out for walk and had
wandered farther than usual, finding herself,
with a feeling Of feminine terror, alone In
lonely spot, and the sun gone down and night
shadows creeping over all things
1t must have been full hour since =! had
left Paul Ernscliffe before Esme had found
him, stone dead.
For this was the story she told. Hasten
ing with winged feet over the smooth, white
beach back to the hotel, she had stumbled
upon a dark object lying upon the sand, and
stopping to examine it, her heart throbbing
with wild terror, she had found dead
man-her lover, Paul Ernscliffe
He lay at her feet stark and dead, with
bullet hole in the breast. round, clean
cut aperture from which the blood had
streamed, dyeing the white sand to the color
of crimson ere it had ceased to ooze from
the CHASTITY hole where once heart had beat
with all the fire and vigor Of manhood.

and inert, yet little more than two hours
