" We and the prisoner Not Gailtas my
lord,"
A pause, a dead hush throughout the
crowded court, and the foreman added slow -
We wish, my lord, to add a rider. On
the evidence before us, so entirely circum-
stantial, we feel obliged to give the accused
the benefit of the doubt, earl therefore we
find him Not Guilty."
A wave, a. surge swept through the crowd
-not of relief, not of satisfaction -yet the
prisoner was Young, handsome, and there
were flews in the evidence. '
" Monstrous verdict !" said one man,
indignantly ; "the evidence against hint is
simply overwhelming. He must have done
it 5"
A gentleman just before the speaker glanc-
ed round with a slight lift of the brows, a
slightly amused smile, as if to say : " Much
you know about law," Aloud he remark-
ed:
" A. clear verdict of what in Scotland
would be Non Proven; the man is acquitted
by a fluke of evidence. Practically in every-
body's eyes the poor felow is guilty."
" Hard lines though that, ain't it, sir ?"

Of course there were, and the man so late-
ly on trial for murder must have left by a
private exit, for the crowd saw him no
more -knew not if his 'heart were almost
broken with the agony of its burthen of
another's awful crime,
Tite evidenee, circumstantially, had been
heavy. It had been proved that there had
been high words between the itemised an d.

about his sister, shortly before the fatal
deed was done ; that he (the accused) had
left the Hall in a load passion ; that the
dead man had also gone out towards the
fatal copse in his own park ; that a pistol.

asmall revolver in his hand and a blood-
stain ou his hand, bending over the murder-
ed maxi, evidently horrified, Gee witness
had sworn he had seen the pistol in Claremont's possession, but had been forced to
admit it was the ordinary sort of revolver,
and it might have been one like the weapon
produced.
It was proved -so far as a negative can
be called proven -that nobody had been
seen near the sot or park, going or coming
tiewards it. No stranger seen about the
neighbourhood except' the accused, was
admitted the fact, and out of all these there
were of course minor points adduced, for
and against, needless to mention here. The
gamekeeper deulared that it was impossible
for anyone to hove fired the shot and es-
caped in any direction without his seeing a
fignre on the open as he himself ran. There
WaS a patch of young fern just a little way
beyond the copse, but he had run close by
it and must have seen anyone amongst it
however crouched down.
The defence, in the hands of a very clever
rising Q.C., was bold, and attacked the pro-
secuting defects of evidence, more than re-
lyingon its own denials, since on both sides
almost everything might or might not be
and the amused had no witnesses save his
own evidence, taken on oath at the inquest
under arrest on suspicion.
The substanee was this:
Albert Claremont was a gentleman pos-
sessed of about a thousand a year. He ad-
mitted meeting Mr. Guest and his youngsis-
ter in Paris, where the former, a very bet-
ting man, had gone for the Grand Prix.
He (the prisoner) admitted a stormy,
hostile interviesvat Elm Hall on the fatal,
day, of which Miss Guest was the subject,
but be refused all further detail nr reason.
He hail left the Hall; he started in
hot blood, and had proceeded some distance
towards the western gate of thepark, when
he was startled by the report of fire.arms
coming from a distant copse of trees. He
turned and walkecl quickly towards it,
thinkilta it was probably some poacher, but
still might not be. He was horrified to find
Mr. Guest lying dead on his face, bleediug
front a wound in the back, and a revolver
near him. He picked this up and turned
the body partially, to see if life was there
at all. The gamekeeper Brown rushed up,
and cried out: "Good. Heaven, sir, have
you done Ulla ?" He said, "No, I heard a
shot and came up. Help me carry him to
the house." The revolver was not his, nor
the fellow to it.
The 'counsel for the defence in a telling
speech, had emphasized all this, and insist-
ed on the weaknc:ss of the other sida, and
suggesting the possibility that the real inur-
derer might have fled al once through the
r ark, despite Brow,u's assertion; and of
course, the deceased might have had an
enemy of whomno one knew --he was not
a man'admittedly, of very austere life.
Thejudge had aurnmed up very impartial-
ly, but of neeessity, in justice, in favor of
giving the benefit of the doubt to the ac -
cased.
Hence the verdict just given, that sent
forth a young fellow with bare life, and -to
the majority -a bligb tedname.
CHAPTER I.
on. &suttee's PATIENT.
" What, you take my hand! You do not
believe me guilty, Dr. Sabine?"
"No," said Dr. Sabine with the quiet
emphasis of absolute conviction; "no more
than that poor young thing upstairs, whose
brain the tragedy has unhinged."
The two men were standing face to face,
the younger's right hand clasped close in
the elder's -the latter, a finafeatured, in-
tellectual -looking man of fifty; the former a
tall, very handsome young fellow, who
might well, indeed, win and keep a woman's
love.
"155 is Ghat that is the .bitterest drop in
the cup 5" he said, with a fierce anguish
that wrung the doctor's heart to see. "My
doom of guilt under the world's verdict I
could bear, but this 1 -my darling driven

oblivion, to madness ! Is dare no hope?
Merciful Heaven ! is there no hope ?"
"I 'Would not say that, my dear boy,"
Baia Dr. Sabine, deeply mored; " but I dare
not give you much. She has had a frightful
shock somehow.'
"Somehow 1" repeated Claremont, start-
ing, 'you think, then—"
"1 have no definite thought, only theory.
Bertas, the maid, simply left Isabel in her
roe s., and there found her unconscious, and
no one Saw or heard her about in the inter-
val; but Isabel knew you were below, you
told no."
"Ye, knew I had oome to plainly tell her
brother that I cared nothing forh is fort me,
but meant-sinceshe loved me -to make her
my wife in spite of him."
Exactly," said Sabine; "she, doebtless,
saw yoa leave, and may then hose ono to
Rolf Guest to Weed or defy."
"The last, then; my darling is as high-
spirited as she is sensitive. Pardon my in-
terrnption."
And he was a violent man," concluded
the doctor. 4 If my theory be near the
mei*, only she, poor heart, and Hes,Yen,
know what may have passed to madden her.
From my experience of insanity -and I
have had tbisprivate asylum for many years
--I am convinced there has been something
more in her case than seeing the corpse car-
ried in, even though you followed and she
heard anything against you. It is eanystery
which only she can solve if ever she recovers.
You are going abroad you said?
"Yes," said the other bitterlyt"whatplace

she will know you."
"Not know me?" Albert staggered back,
phtting Ids hand before his eyea ; "not

deaths for her 1 the must -she will know
me at least out, of all the world."
"Follow me," said Dr, Sabine; "bot be
careful not to excite her much. But if she
knows you -there is hope."
And he led the way upstairs, opened a
door, and only said quietly, " Uo in."
Albert Claremont, passed within and paus-
ed.
The apartment was spacious and lux-
urious, the windows looking out over
large, grounds, and basyond over the
the wooded beauties of Highgate, amidst
which the house stood, One glance
took that in ; it, was the one solitary figure
that riveted the man's gaze -a slender,
beautiful girl, such a mere girl, sitting in a
low fauteuil by a window, her white hands
lying in listless apatlry on her lap, the
whole attitude that of hopelessness ; but in
the great, dark eyes, that turned slowly on
the new -comer, there was a wild, dumb hold
row as if their gaze had booked anaemia for
all on some sight too appalang to be ever
blotted out -a sight before which reason
had fallen a wreek; there as no recogaition
in that glance as it mot that of the wen -
nigh heart -broken man who stood there,
still as a statue, striving for perfect self-
mastery before he tiered move or speak.
Three months ago they had parted in
Paris with plighted troth ; one month later,
on that terrible .day of theenurder, he had
bent over her unconscious fortu before they
put him under arrest; and now-
" vboreelk.7,9e1 Bach heare must bleed, must
That they must meet like this!
"Isabel,' the deb, low tones said, the
soft music tremulous with emotion.
There was the slightest quiver of those
delicate hands as if the loved, familiar
sound had som:how, thrilled the cords of
the woman's heart. His leaped with a wild
hope; but he only moved quietly across the
carpet, knelt beside her, and took her hands
into his own.
"Isabel, my darline 1 -my otia love
Don't you know me? -even me?
No control could banish the suppressed
agony in the voice, the deep trouble in the
Gyms in every haggard line of the hand-

way, that seemed as if eagerly eearc hing fo
something, through the horror tho t neve

" His face 1" There was, then, a straggl-

did not overtly recognize him for himself;
yet serely the soul, within its darkened
prison.
" Feltner preeence by it spell of might,"
Or why did she not snrink and repulse him
in intlignant fear
Instead, she left her hands in his; kept
that strangely eager, pathetic gaze on Ins
face.
"Isabel 1-sweetheare 5--155 is I -your
own Albert. Have you no word for me?"
The wide, tearless eyes ciliated, her bosom
heaved, her lips quivered ; but there was
still no respense, and no repulsion.
Claremotit dared anothev step, impelled
by the bold acumen of his .great love --per-
haps a more unerring guide than even the
physician's skill. He passed his arm around
the girl's slender form drawing it slowly,
aa he felt it yield, closer to his breast ;
closer yet, till surely the passionate throbs
of his heart against hers must stir an answer-
ing throb.
Still no sigu, yet yields to n y embrace,"
he mettered, with quickening breath.
"This, then, to test, for only from one
man living could she suffer it 5"
He laid his dark cheek to hers, and felt
her start, yet still not shrine. ; one* second
lie hesitated, and then his lips touched hers
unresisted, pressed them closer and oloser
in the very passion of love and agony that
went straight from been to heart, and by
its power woke the deadened faculties so
far.
She suddenly clung to him, sobbing on
his lemom.

Isabel nestled to him, then whispered
suddenly, in a frightened way:

"Yes, darling, it will in time, you know,"
he said, caressingly but his heart felt

Going away ?" Isabel cried, wildly.
"Ile will kill me if lam left 5 He'll kill me I

"Nobody shall touch you, dearest," said
Claremont, quickly, but firmly. "No one

She gazed at him with those wild, horror

laugh for one who loved her to hoar

she said, wistfully. "0, such trouble 5"

train from Dover after its last stoppage.
The new passenger, who could, scareely
have weighed over seven stone and a half,
and whose whole gaft, dross (albeit quite
ordinary clothing), and tout ensemble told
him to be it jockey, deposited his valise,
settled himself to his satisiection, end then,
glaneing his shrewd eyes round, found him-
self opposite to the only other occupant of
the compartment, a handsome, distingue-
loOking young man, wrapped in it well -fur-
red ulster.
The toll, fine form, with its graceful easy
pose and masculine beauty of both figurc and
countenance, were an almost ludicrous con-
trast to the little sharp, though bonhommie
face'and undersized form of this,,joekey.
"Very cold this evening, sir,' said he,
rubbing his lean muscular hands ; "books
like snow -but A's seasonable weather for

" Well -yes -but," said the other, with

moustache veiled. "1 rather hate season-

" Think so?" returned the gentleman,
with certainly a foreign shrug : "well, any-
how, I have been much abroad, and tun
just from Paris."
"Alt 1" indeed, sir. I was there last
May twelvemonth myself."
" Ah 1" said the other, with a quick,
sudden flash in his dark eyes, " and you are
a jockey. I think. Were you at the Greed
Prix that year ?"
" Rather, sir," returned the delighted
littleman, "1 rode Temeraire for the Vi-
comte do Letour. Was you there ?"
" In Paris at the time -yes ; but not at
the races, though several I know were, and,
I believe, betted heavily on
"Aye, sir ! there was it lot of moneywon
and lost too that clay," returned the jockey,
nodding emphatically. "One gentleman
knew -an awful one to bet, sir, though
not rich --Mr. Pierce Bovill was -:-and Ite
lost his last two thonsand on Teineraire,
.wldch was second, though I sold him, pri-
vatelike, that T didn't think so much of the

Wasn't very quick -leastways, not his oavn

"Heavenl how madly the istener's heart
was throbbing with wild hope! Was this a

lips said:
"Oh! trots mean that mysterious murder
of Mr. Rolf Guest at Elm Park."
"l2hat's the name, sir -and they acquitted
the young fellow on the trial. • Was you in-
terested in it at the time, sir?"
The grim humour and irony of tbe ques-
tion were irresistible; Albert Claremont
smiled, and said, drily:
"Well -yes -I was. Why?"
"Only because it was a curious case, sir -
mysterious, as you say."
"Yet. most 'people think the man was
guilty, you know, though it wasn't proved
"Well, he mightbe," said: atlia little
jockey, "or he might not be the murderer.
I don't think he was, sir, sure as my name's
George 'Winton. I think bis story looks
like about'the truth, Whet do you think,
sir?"
"I don't think at all, Mr. Winten," said
the other with intense quietness. "I know
he is as guiltless of Guest's death as you are,"
"Do you now, sir, really ?" exclaimed the
jockey; staring herd. "Maybe you know
the gentleman, then ?"
"Yes, I do. By -the -ha, have you ever
