Another Message.

Hamlin sank back on the bench and
leaned his head on his hand Had any
thing been accomplished by this in
teryiew? One thing, at least-he had
thoroughly demonstrated that the
charm once exercised over his imagi-
nation by this beautiful woman had
completely vanished. He saw her now
as she was-heartless, selfish. using
her spell Of beauty for her own sordid
ends. If there had been left a shred
Of romance IN his memory Of her, It
vas now completely shattered Her
coolness, her adroit changing Of
moods, convinced him she was playing
a game. What game? Nothing in her
words had revealed its nature, yet the
man instinctiyely felt that it must in
volve Molly Mcdonald. Laboriously
he reviewed, word by word, each sen
tence exchanged, striving TO find some
clew. He had pricked her in the Gas
kins affair, there was no doubt of
that; she knew, or at least suspected
the party firing the shot. She denied
at first having been married TO LIE
Fevre, and yet later had been com
PEELED to acknowledge that marriage
There then was a deliberate false
hood, which must have been told for
a purpose. What purpose? Did she
imagine It would make any difference
with him, or did she seek TO shield
lie Fevre from discovery? The latter
reason appeared the more probable,
for the man must have been in the
neighborhood lately, else where did
that haversack come from?
So engrossed was Hamlin with
these thoughts that he hardly real
lied that some one had lifted the vim
dow curtain cautiously. The beam OF
light flashed across him, disappearing
before he could lift his head to ascer-
tain the cause. Then a voice spoke,
and he leaned back to listen.
