1t a great victory for Mr.. Bryan-the culmin-

The west prevailed in the sense that the principles

without question by his section of the country while
they resisted by representative democrats of the

W. AINTREE was driven home be-
@. ia fore dusk, for his pocketbook
lD was bloated with moist bank
notes, besides which Lady
Starkie positively refused to have him
about the hotel that evening. 1t was
against the rules for bridegrooms as
laid down by her ladyship, who dined
very solemnly with her niece alone
and got to bed at a reasonable hour for
the first time that week. Claire then
had their sitting room to herself, and
she drew out the oiled silk packet
which had fallen into her hands that
afternoon. 1t was thin and oblong,
like the letter it plainly contained. IN
der the lamp Claire's name and the
address of her old home were still
legible beneath the silk, though they
no longer stood out as when the skin
was wet. And on the reverse side was
written very small, "For PHYS sake.

fessed to her his crime? Some min
utes after Claire Harding asked her,
self this question she turned up the
lamp and cut the oiled silk open with
q pair Of scissors. She now saw that
the letter had been written some time,
yet it was with q strange thrill, a Won
derment beginning at the heart, that
she read the heading within. 1t was
Newgate and the date May 20, 1887,
the blacklist day of all her life, the eve
of that on which they would have
hanged him.
Agitated as she was, however, by
these dreadful memories and touched
by the mere fact of his having written
to her on that awful Monday, it was
the first sentence of his letter that ran
into her heart like molten lead. He
called himself an innocent man! From
the brink Of the grave came that lie,
that blasphemy, which he had lived to
confess to her with his crime! She
read on mechanically, and all at once
her pain ceased. She was lost and
absorbed in the plain, straightforward,
ci~rcumstantial story into which he
plunged without preliminary. He told
her everything from the moment they
parted at the garden gate. Nothing
was left out, nothing extenuated, moth
ing enlarged or even commented upon
by the writer. Her heart was beating
wildly long before she reached the end
of this plain statement. She had for
gotten all about his confession. This
rang true; this rang true.

and Peggy was gazing at him with

table and swept out of the room with

ants to withdraw. Her ladyship rose

OF all this James Daintree spoke so
feelingly and with such an obviously
earnest purpose that Lady Starkie was
quite moved and undertook to use her
influence with Claire in the matter of

But it was of no avail.
