held it with the presentiment that a

of ilia villainous business—his flight and

—I felt that now indeed, 1 had a need for
it. I sent in Charles yesterday to Mr.
McAdam, and. his client, upon hearing
the facts of the case, very graciously
consented to give back the papers and
to take the money which he had ad-
vanced. Not a word of thanks to me,
admiral. I tell you that it was very
cheap 'benevolence, for it was all. done
with his owiamonea, and how could
use it better?
"I thought that I should probably hear
from him soon, and I did. Last evening
there was handed in a note of the usual
whining, cringing tone. He had come
back from abroad at the risk of his life
and liberty just in order that he might
say goodby to the only sister be over had
and to entreat my forgiveness for any
pain which he had caused me. Helvetia
never trouble me again, and he begged.
only that I woull hand over to him the.
sum which I held in trust for him.
That, with what he had already, would_
be enough to start him as an honest man
in the new world, when ho would ever
remember and pray for tho dear sister
who had been his envier. That was the
style of the letter, and it ended by ine- .
ploring me to leave the window latch
open and to bo iu the front room at 8 in
the morning, when he would come to re-
ceive nay last kiss and to bid me farewell.
"Badeas ho was, I could not, when he
trusted ineebetray him. I said nothing,
but I was there at the hour. He entered.
through the window and implored me
to give him the money. Ho was terribly
chauged—gaunt, wolfish, and spoke like
a madman. I told him that I had spent
the money. He gnashed his .teeth at me
and swore it was his rnonoy 1 told him
that I had spent it on. hina. Ho asked
nee how. I said in trying to make hiin,
an honest man and in repairing the re-
sults of his -villainy. He shrieked out a
curse, and pulling something out of the
breast of his coat—a loaded stick,
thittk—he struck nee with it, and I re-
member nothing more."
"The blackguard!" cried the doctor,
"but the polies must be hot upon his
track."
"I fancy not," Mrs. Westmacott an-
swered =hilly. "As iaaY bretheris a

do not think that it is very probable that

"My dear ma'am," said the admiral,
"if it is indeed this 1111.Msaanpney that has

no scruples about taking it. 'You have
