A. Life'8 Mystery.
"It was DO dream, "he said, quietly. "It
was 1 who abet him." -
Zora's eyes, dilated with horror and
ehrinking, were yet lima with, a kindof
dreadful fascination upon his. She could
scarcely breathe, and cold thrills ran like
ice through ber veins; but a fearful, an
irresistible curiosity impelled her reluctant
lips to feebly_frarne the words- .,
" Wes it -a dider=ifffairdfiglif?"-d- "
"In fair fight ?a -no," • he said, his face
unclouded • by any shame: It seemed,
indeed, as if bit set, stern' features would
nevermore be shadowed or Olea,nged by any
fresh emotion. "From the bushes, as
they said. How they all wondered!My
aim was always a sure one. - When he had
fallen', I went to his side to seeif the work'
was done. And at the last breath he
drew, he looked up and knew me:" *
Zees, started with a sob of sorrow and
anguish and yearning. .
" !" . she cried, ' shuddering, her
whole frame seeming to Collapse in one
great tremor, as she buried her face deep
down in her hands. "Oh, my. darling 1
my darling 1 -murdered 1" she moaned;
and the naiads that Covered her face alibi-
ered like aspen leaves. •
Glencairn took no notice of her agitation.,
He was past all agitation himself. 'Only
his brows'contracted in a.deeper•line above
the stern dark eyes, as he said, •reere to
himself than her- . t •
" I wished that be had'," not looked up

_ ______
you call remorse thatl have ever hadd
" Remorse ?" she repeated, looking up at
-
him wildly. "Have you known no remorse?Oh, how could you live with that neon
yomenseuh?" • - •
And as she broke recklessly- down all
barrieridand spoke her true heart's wonder
fearlessly to him, so, for the first ahd, last
time he spoke from the very 'depths of hit.
soul to her ; and far off reverberation of
the tempest in which that lost and ship-
wrecked soul was tossing blindly in the
dark betrayed itself in his tone as he said
after drawing one long, deep breath- .
"1 only loved Luli--I only eared for.
Luli. , There was only one soft spot in my
nature, and that, was Luli. She never
knew why ladled him'. I. wish she had
known. I told her Only now -but how can
I know whether she heard me?'She has
died as her mother died -and both their
deaths are written to my charge! Yet I
tried to save Izer-only all went wrong. I
reap the harvest I sowed. But if I were
mad, that 'madness was foredoomed.: The
Heed I Bowed, and the fruit I gather to -day:
Fate played its game -but the gatne's
played out now." He looked away beyond
Zora, as though he saw an enenay-heard
an enemy's mirth mock his despair.
"You cursed Fates -laugh on! Idefy you

me. Do your vvorst I" • '
' " Is there -no hope -no hope left in life
for you?" •
He did not answer impatiently nor scorn-
fully, but shook his head gently, and said,
" No, no. No new life. Too late."
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. The
railway guide -book was open, in his hand,
and for it moment or two,. as he ran his
„eye and hie finger down :one eolith:1m he
, did not notice, them. He took out his
watch and glanced from the book to it with
knitted bre*, and :teemed to note the
time with something approaching satisfac.
tion. Be looked at Martin Griffiths and
epoke to him in the old, quiet,grave,
self-possessed tone, apparentlyregardless
of the horror and recoiling striving with
compassion in Griffiths' -honest eyes. For
that there had been ..foul play in the
matter of Duke Mayburne's death Griffiths
of course too plainly perceived. •
" Will you give all orders for the
funeral ?" Gleneairn taid. "I am going
on a short jonrney-onla three hours' rail,"
he added, glancing down at the hook in his
hand. "In the drawer of that writing -
table you will find money enough for -all
present expenses, if I am not back. soon.
Here is the key. Consult - together, you
two; and give all neeessary.ordets."
The clock was beard to strike. Glen-
itairn turned at the sound with a slight
atart said looked Retests the' garden and ,the
-fields toward the railway bridge. They
noticed a sort ,bf strange eagerness -the
• light of an excitement and suspense that
had nothing to 'say to hope -in his eyes..
"My watch is slow," he said ; " the
express is nearly due. Gioodsbye. I don't
offer my hand. You can take it when we
meet again !" .
noon knew Gleincairn by sight, and not
knowing of the 'de:nestle calamity thathed
befallen at the Claaletnemiled :tithe touched
his cap to, thp gentleman whom he had
good reason for recognizing, albeit Glen -
cairn was always more lavish of his silver
than of his armies. ,
Net long after the arrival of that train
in London another train started for a
popular seaside place within a convenient
dietanee' a the metropolis. ' 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. And it
seemed so strange and dream-like to him
in tbat hour to look dialove and joy and
youth, and realize -as one looking across
an impassable sea -that them far-off
things existed on the other horizon.
That evening =the beach, some two Or
three miles 'from- that popular watering -
place, a boat -man stood hitching upto-a

about which two little children were play,
The beach was solitary there; the spot
where beauty and wealth and fashion most
did congregate was miles away. The boat-
ma.n looked up as another human figure
came toward him aloisg the lonely -shore.
The gentleman who was drawing near
walked slowly, as if in deep abstraction.
When he got close to the boat, as if aloout,
to pass it by, he paused suddenly and
turned and looked from the boat to the
"Want a row, sir ?" said the man, seeing
