Presently he rose and went again to the roomwhere his dead darling lay; and looked once more on her cold, calm beauty. When he left her this time, he kissed tha marble lips and said " G-ood-by." As Martin Griffiths and Zora stood together speaking in hushed whispers, they heard - for everything sounded distinctly through the solemn 'silence of the, houSe-Glen. cairn's step comp slimly,. .dowinitairse Glenceern's -voice asking the servants for a railway guide. Then in a few minutes he entered the room wheim they were.

' A young married couple travelling by this latter train took especial notice of one a their fellow passengers -a tall man, with dark hair heavily streaked with gray, with a grizzled beard and eyes whose strangeness puzzled tbern Anti' theytobservel that one was cf a different and darker hue thitu the other. This man looked often at the young couple, and although oue or two casual stock travelling remarks were exchanged, and he :melte to them very gently and courteously, they noticed that he never smiled. The youvg wife was a pretty, rosy, dark -eyed girl, not in the least like Luli. It Vitifi not en account nofamy-likenessgreal or imaginary, thet be looked at her. But there before him were youth and love and happipess.
