Be pitied Brenda with all a lover's exorbitant power to pity, and finally he told his mother thee Ittwould be impemeive for him to leo° on the ilex* Northern train. "Of comae, my son," she acquiesced, " would not have you remain away from the funeral for warlde—that ie, , if there is any possible chance of your reaching it in time." Gera/d did hh best. But the joueney was long and Brenda's telegram had been cruelly delayed. When he arrived at Shadyshore the funeral ceremony had been over about three hours. Brenda, olad the deepest mourning, met him with a sob and a cry. "My poor girl 1" he said, and took her in Ins arras. A servant had just glided from the drawing roora, leaving them alone. Ger- ald'a lips found their way to hers and the kids that followed was one of bethothal, as both silently understood, "I have so much to tell you," faltered Brenda, booing about her with nervous glances. "But there will always be the thought that she is listening.* * It Is suoh a lovely afternoon. Leb na walk out under the fir trees." Their walk lasted until nearly duak. Finally, with a blinding headache caused by grief and excitement, Brenda redirected her steps toward the house. "And you tell me," said Gerald, as he walked ruminative- ly at her side," that Dr. Southgate declared your brother died of heart disease ?" "Yes. He wrote that on the certifioate ; I aaw the two words myself." "Bat you yourself think—" " Oh, I think nothing, because I've not a veatige of proof I" Gerald was silent for some little time. He would have liked to ten Brenda the rea. son her brother had cauaed her to place that paper in Ms coffin, but remembrance of hie /math forbade.

" You cannot gnus, can you, Gerald, what it contains? "No, I cannot," replied Gerald, glad to answer so directly. "Unless," he went on, " a list of aoottsations against his wife is to be found tbere." "Oh, I have thought of that," said Brenda, "but surely he would not have—" "These words died on her lips, for int then while they were ascending the piazze steps, Natalie came forward from the inner hall.

Natalie seemed furtively to gnaw her under lip. Then she threw hack her delicate head with a little blending of scorn and sadness.

His heart beat queerly as he began hie little journey apron tote and by dark Mus- ters of lonely ioliage. The ghostly charac- ter of his undertaking was not its only draw- back. He seemed to see, again and again, •before he reached the .vault, forms dart out upon him with vetoing gestures, aeousative e es Aad how could he explain his tres- passing presence in oath any such arreat ing the house so well that the cabinet to which hie friend's letter had alludea and the apartment in which it stood were both well renzemberad by him. But quick as he had been Natalie reached the cabinet before him. Ho saw her kneel- ing at one of ito open 'drawers. The next natant he saw her lift something to her dps. Almost immediately after that stie fell heav- ly backward. There had lain a swifter poison here in the cabinet than that stealthy one which had doubtless wrought her hus- band's death. She was quite lifeless when they picked her up. Afterward, when rigid examina- tions were made as to her previous life, it seemed slight wonder that such a woman ahould have preferred to end by suicide the final collapse of her evil hopes. She had undoubtedly been the wife of a mottle dia- reptitable Englishman called "Captain" Clay, and one of whew aliases was " Lever- idge," long before her • marrige with poor. infatneted boils Bond, From sorne of the letters from this Man, found in the cabinet, it was only too evident that she had pin- ned Louis' murder with oh full knowlebge, and that the teeo expeoted at some future day to enjoy the wealth which would thus vilely have been Emend. But in reality he gained the vault quite unobserved. It was built of solid granite in the side of a slight hill. He listened for a moment, and then descended the mall flight of steps leading inward to a lerge metal door. Then he inserted his key in the look. It fitted perfectly, and grate soon afterward he had passed within the in. terior of the vault, leaving the metal door behind him just enough ajar to admit a oerintin quenthy of air, yet not enough so to attratte she notice of any possible passer. He now stood in pitohy darkness. A heavy smell as of fresh out flowere ab once oppreesed him. He lead ceased to feel tre- pidation.'his old magnificent courage and coolnesshad come back to him. • Slowly he atrack a match and lighted one of hie tapers. As the dame atruggled from intense dim, ness into comparative brightness the solemn, stone wrought chamber boatel:le deafly visible. It contained hut three coffins, each laid in a separate niche. One was that of LouiaBonds mother, one that of his father, and one was hia own. The last lay heaped over with wreathe and crosses. All the niches were large, and in a manner took from the usual grimness of seine reoepteeles 'being unoramped and commodious of aspect. Gerald had brought a small sO0n00 for his candle, and now set both on the edge of the empty niche, just above the casket of hie friend. He waited for some time in awed silence. To open the coffin was an ad from which he shrank most reluctantly. And yet his seemed oath compelled him to per. s form this act. There was only the usual rsook to be pried asunder, and for tilde pur- pose he had brought with him a capable in. trument. Presently he banished his repulsion, "How oan there be the least detworation ' he thought, "when I am only following slt; Louis' own earnest; wishea ? Besides the vow he once exacted from me there is a new stimulus in Brendan account of that hidden paper." And yet to spend three mortal hours in this dismal vault 1 he began already to feel that hie nerve po /roc, strong and trust- worthy as It was, could scarcely endure so drunk an ordeal. Still, he MUSA make the effort. Looking at his watch he disoovered that only fifteen minutes of the slotted time had already paeeed. And yet they had seemed far more than an hour I One stout wrench with hie chisel and the coffin was pried apart. He soon looked upon the calm waxen face of Louie. How like, and yet 'how completely soulless and irreeponsive t What hope of any vital, reethrectional sign could possibly be drawn from bide pallor and apathy? He leaned Moser above the still features, familiar, yet utterly changed. He forgot the concealed paper of which Brenda had told him, while he parted from the dead man's breast and chin the ail& muses of flowers which lay there. But he ransom. hared, and with a piercing force of recollect - tion, what he had bound himself of old to nee every mental effort in desiring and yearn- ing after. Some of the flowers fell over upon the Stone lloorieg of the vault --loose oarnelliaa and white roses, with, perhaps, e few glossy leavee ef either. He meant to stoop and pick them up whert Suddenly & otraoge and horrible thing occurred. The light went out, and it seemed to him that as it did so a sharp motellio taouud rang threttgle the dead, abrupt darkness. And then something struck him, with a light yet distinob contact, fall on the breast. He lifted hie hand, and caught a stiff square of glazed paper, • "The hidden letter I" flashed through hio brain.

During the following autumn occurred Gerald's marriage with Brenda, greatly bo the delight of Mrs. Revelow, whose health had now regained its usual gentle etate of invalidism, Some time before this event Brenda had visited the vault where, her brother lay and had first ordered arighther own band what disarray had been oaused by Gerald's weird visit and afterward quietly obtained aid for the restoration of the in- jured coffin. Bab Gerald could never he induced to ethompante her on (tither of the several little pilgrunagels which her task involved. "No, Brenda," he would say, "There are memories connected with that phew which will haunt me till I die. No need of mak- ing them more Avid than they are sure to be already." But once Brenda said •—hPerhapt you are • quite wrong in believing, Gerald, that anything supernatural really oat:erred that night. In my hurry and agitation, seising a moment when ehe was not present, I thrust the paper within poor Louie' breast. It may be that I lodged it ineecurely, and that the movement of the coffin edber ward displaced it still more. When, as you say, you disputed the flowers that lay on the breast of Louis the paper may have been half concealed by these, evh!le its whiteness corresponded to that of the &wets them- selves, all being seen in a dim light.

And wben, as it seemed to you, the paper was al. moat put into your outetretched hand, this may merely have been the natural result of its having slid to the floor, like some of the floweret that I found there." Gerald listened intently and then !Meek hie head with an unwonted gravity.
