talk you since I can tell you no and the girl ended a yet longer onset I have at- tempted to describe nml that no interruption or remonstrance on our past could start by bursting into tears I cautiously watched Parks countenance during this stormy scene At he seemed frightened but that soon yielded to mi expression of up fury that horrified me by Its before I never saw riny thing so fiendish A wiKl gleam shot from his eyes nud they glared like a cat's in the dark large drops gathered on bis dark his heaving gasps like the growling of an angry beast while bis while teeth were pressed down into the thick under lip until the blood I nt the moment that he would do some fearful deed on the spot I bud heard of his once before being excited and that those who witnessed it said they wouldn't liku to have n hand in aggravation blacky but bad no idea of the reality Aunt insisted on Susan's going early to bed She dosed her with hot and other cold for the poor girl hod been thoroughly saturated from the rain For n long time after tea that evening we sat silently our work in the room I could think of nothing but the rible face of the black I felt that it be painfully impressed upon me as long as I lived I too for at least ring this day if not before n kiad of un defined apprehension that I scarce liked to express had been creeping over me that Parks was a man not to be trusted Now since dinner the vogue feeling bad ered n pbaotont so to speak denly assumed a bodily form and yet the sickening alarm the idea gave rise to such that I tried to dismiss it from my thoughts as altogether groundless but t could not silence about it now was becoming oppressive I looked up from my work my dear other eide of the table want at some em- broidery that seemed to try her sight too much as she leaned close over it end I no- that 8 shade of trouble or anxiety dis- turbed usually sweet serene face I said suddenly did it at all decor io uni 1 to try What makes yon saj replied hurriedly dropping the from hand and looking lip at me I can hardly tell I I like what I have seen for days back I can't help suspecting something wrong though I don't well what about this matter of but what influences me most now is the awful look lie bad at the time at dinner that she Attacked You did mot see it but I never can forget it and I tell what I continued it has pressed strongly on my mind more than once to day that in tbe priest's note the covert allusion was to him but you know Igarka being a Protestant might have biased his mind if he did refer to him Ob depend upon I rejoined re- ligion one way or the other bad nothing naturally hollow my whispering voice soun to do with it My annt seemed lost in thought for a Dot worthy of the trust you few moments she said at last with a deep sigh He has hitherto hindered me 1 almost thought strangely in sending away tbe plate Curious too hu drew all hia money out of tbe 1 beard this only and J fancy that Mr suspects him To tel you ibe honest truth Maggie I have out felt very comfortable about him myself for tbe last week though till this moment 1 hardly allowed myself to entertain tbe thought Please God couie what may we'll be off into once Mt wish we wire safe there thia very I almost ejaculated 1 bnd scarce expressed the wish uttered in a low voice when we were both denly terrified by the sound of a cry It to be nt a distance but had a kind of muffled or smothered tone ever it was it like the wild ance of some creature in mortal anguish and sounded fearfully in the night what's said my ing up I rose from my sent too petrified say n word We stood listening with launched but not another sound or stir reached us and in a few moments Frisk a small dog gave a half ball jaik under the window Oh 1 said with a deep breath of relief I know what it was Frisk nf ter a rubit I'll engage I heard just such a cry I in sure the other day from one that liu killed in the walk and of course it wiis more startling at this hour Perhaps it rejoined my aunt It certainly seemed to be outside but dear it sounded so We remained for a while longer at our work more quieted though not gether at case Look said my aunt I want to run up for a bit of thread to finish and then I think we'll go to bed for I de- clare I'm in a tremor since we heard thai and I must sleep with you 1 said for t should be afraid to stay alone and your door is the only one in tbe bouse I think that baa both lock and key I was thinking tbe other day that was not another spot above or below that one could lock themselves up in if they ed jt You're child I rejoined my aunt laughing if we go o it will mot be worth while to get anything done to them at present If I said in a kind of quy as she left the room now know bow boine was absent I was reached from the table a tumbler of wa- ter that bnd been left there for some cine that I was to for my cold and made her SWF How two or three drops Oh Maggie f she at last gasped out tis all and she shook from head to foot he's above behind bed ti pushed a little down from the well I saw him first from the reflection in the look and then for fear of a know bow I got more closely at the bed nnd saw him plain ly through an opening in tbe back curtain with a knife or some sharp thing in his hand He means to murder us sore ly I tried on my poor aunt's account to nerve myself up though aghast at this palling intelligence I how un Aunt Os so deeply upon tbe occurrences of tbe past y or two and wondering what might he the result that I was not aware of her re- turn and did not coming back into the apartment until light of her candle upon tbe work I still held in my bond though I hod not put in a for several minutes and I turned to say something ewer forget her I rose gazing at her transfixed with horror Her face was white like snow even her lips wore tbe pallor of death and she so that only I caught her I think she would hose fallen She seemed trying So bnt her tongue refused V otter an articulate word I roy own fece growing us ghastly as hera I look the candle from ber nerveless hand and almost forced her Sato tbe seat that I had vacated For saW I h tell me he docs not yon saw No I got strength at the moment somehow and walked quietly from the room but oh Maggie what are we to dor We said I bracing myself up for this fearful emergency first of nil gently wake up Susan and then try all three anc get out the door and off before be finds out that he's discovered Where are the Great they had been taken up we then remembered as was the custom every night and left in a small basket on a table in my aunt's room Sure I saw it she exclaimed and tbe table yon know is just by the bed but my fright what it and Now there is no earthly hope I forgot in all about it left we can't possibly escape from tbe bouse the windows are barred the doors are locked keys up close to where that wretch is lurking I fear dear 1 exclaimed bursting into tears and throwing my arms round her that our destruction ia and I shook with convulsive pressed sobs don't my poor darling said roy beloved relative soothingly now aroused and excited by the violence of my emotion There is One who can help us in the last extremity let us ask And with our arras one er we sank upon our knees while Aunt Osborne uttered a few trembling broken petitions in a whispered but voice strengthened and encouraged I call up poor If it comes to a lust struggle three er might do something you'll net be afraid to stay here if I slip down to No 603 answered you know he has no idea that we suspect anything and he'll be quiet for a while stole softly out and down the tbe basement the room which the maid occupied and the cook with her when she was at I ome was in a remote part of tbe house off a passage at the other aide of tbe kitchen while the man's apartment was at tbe opposite extreme end of the lower I passed quickly on and opening tbe door out in a low tone Susan There Was no Going up to tbe bed She has covered self up in the I muttered poor thing she wat so tired and sleepy bow tossed though all the clothes arcT I drew down fhe coverlet Useless to try snd de- scribe the sight that met me the icy chill I fe t she had been barbarously A or string of some kind was tied so tightly round the throat that it bod cut the skin the eyes were trading with R glassy state and a frothy covered the parted lips both hands were clenched as in the last agony Tbat there had been a fierce struggle Jwaa ident oa well from tbe disordered state of the bed clothes as that one of the shut hands contained wooly curl that 1 know must have been torn hi the conflict from the head The coldness and rigidity of death were already creeping over the frame Poor unfortunate groaned out as 1 staggered against the wall this was the cry we In some strange wray tbe sight that dis- corpse imparted 9 sodden and most unnatural courage Ood helping I'll thwart this I said and there's no to be lost my poor kind-hearted I reverently the quills again over tbe dead nee and with a firmer tread than I had the room Lot nw I said I mnsS toy aad not aunt staid I I have determined not to awaken Susan yet a while at all events till we see what may be done she would be sure to cause some disturbance in her Oh want whispered I won't have the poor creature perhaps murdered in her bed without knowing or bearing a word come I'll go to her myself aunt I said yon must not Ob Maggie is there anything for she saw the that I could not conceal I in concealing it be has murdered her have but our own safety now to think of I ed the effect of this intelligence upon one who was already so entirely unnerved by our terrible position she sank back into her seat and folded her bands with a look of passive despair in tbe doak that I bad brought wa heard the window above Jet quickly dowe and at once a long low peculiar I exclaimed seizing by the ana my half scared companion who could that the cation BOW open to us was must go by the back door and out the tle wicket at the other side of the yard the fellow evidently has accomplices outside and we have not done with danger It was no easy matter to get poor Aunt Osborne out she was in so great a tremor that her limbs almost failed We however to the yard and out door locking each after us and so ing the Laurel Walk as the roosi probable place where the others might bo watching or concealed we ran on np the front aver nne and this it was I am sure that saved us for those in the plot were con- I suppose that we would or to reach the gate lodge as a natural uge remained posted at that end of the house By the same favoring Providence that had so far conducted us a company of soldiers with two officers and a magistrate were passing

suppose j ond t and M of the gang aa R Tina no o -i she has only preceded us a little now dear and I knelt down beside her chair and my voice was wonderfully steady and strong re- solved on one last effort for our lives I'll just go up this moment and see if I can't get into that room and bring out tbe keys without his bearing me and then we can readily escape See it's our sole chance Aunt Osborne shook her head and seemed incredulous aa to my ever ing I saw with fresh concern that a kind of apathetic stupor was stealing over her they could find some more repaired bouse Nor was U till after a long and fierce resistance that Parks himself was finally captured The peddler was nbo apprehended hidden in tbe shrub bery Parks and the peddler both expiated their guilt on the gallows and suffered the last penalty of the kw at a dow by Blackwater Lodge that for a long period after for I can tell Cross And thus it came to pass that in less than a week subsequent to the terrors of that dreadful and I dreaded that she might get a fit j hair tiat bad been before black I said God will not forsake us I'm quite certain that I shall succeed Slipping off roy shoes and folding my dress round my shoulders so as to be less impeded I literally crept up stairs cing with extreme care test the creaking of a boaid or the sound might cate my approach When I reached the lobby I stood by the as we called it already referred to for some ments to listen but there was not the least sound then with if possible a yet more stealthy movement I went on to tbe door tbe room and again stopped scarcely daring to draw breath for fear of arousing suspicions felt firm and nerved up to this but now that I was actually on the threshold of tbe apartment where tbe assassin was the full conscious ness impending danger came with such force that T felt the rapid beat of my heart and my limbs shook so that I md to lean for support Against the wall called up the tragedy below that bad imparted such a feeling of in- as to quell the overpowering that bnd preceded it I ed my hand gently along the door which was half opon to ascertain if by chance the ley might be on the outside and to my great

window falling on my full height might Io mischief I had now of course need of the utmost caution au unguarded stir Midden encounter with any article of and we were ruined To provide the latter peril

reached the small table there n a momentary I heard from the ted a breath an inarticulate mutter accompanied by a restless movement I stretched out my band quickly too y in the intense eagerness to
