apartment, each utinnent his mood grew -
lug fiercer.

saying to himself there was no. account-

with whom they earn e in contact be-
cause of the gord they would leave be-

Wink had no sooner entered his
apartment and touched a match to the
Inper on the mantel than he beheld the
bided paper lying beside the grate.
"Whet in the world is this?" he mut-
tered. "I though 1 was too clever to
leave my private •papers lying around."
A cold draught of air 'brought hint to
a 'gulden realization that he must have
left the window open when he bad rais-
ed It and looked out to see if it was Atilt
snowing.
He shut it down with e beteg, then
crossed over to the table and picked up,
the folded paper again—the other papet,
Web the wind had tossed under lee
couch, einaping his keen eyes.
Ho opened the folded sheet eareletesly
enough, but as leis glance fell upon it,
an exclamation, of Inteese surprise broke
from bia lips,
"Frances Barrisonn will making me
her heir!" he cried, hoarsely. "All com-

"How ORMO it 11070 in my room? She

"She meet hone been spying through

paralyzed her into dumbness, and now
she has changed her intention aleout

"We'll see about that 1" he neelaimed,
grinding out a savage oath from be-
tvseen his white teeth.
"There was a very demon in his sneer,
That woke emotions of both hope and
Jeer:
But where his scowl of natred drakly
fell,
Hope, withering, fled—and mercy sighed
farewell.'
With the will clinched tightly in his
hand, he quickly retraced his steps to-
ward the sick chamber ort the Boor be-
low.
"Wbat la to be done must be done
quickly," he muttered. "The doctor they
have sent for may arrive at any moment
—at any tnoment."
The sick woman lay be exaetly the
same position in which she had fallen
back upon the pillow, but in her veil
there burned it light so flaming, tee
lurid, so baneful, that even. Clifford Car -
tisk, daring trickster though he was,
quailed before it as a condemned en/M-
ufti quails before the glare of the stern
judge in, whose eyes he reads the fate
that has been deckled for him—a prison,
cell or death. Yes, that and more Clif-
ford Carlisle read in the burning eyes
fastened upon hina.
Ife espproached the bed quickly, hold-
ing up the will in his right hand
"I found this In my room," ne whis-
pered, theareneyheading it up before
her startled gaze, "New, the question
is, do you intend to sign. tluis or not? If
you mean to do so, and wilt me to fettoh
•you a pen, yon eau signify your willing -
nets by nodding; if yornt mean no, shake

Peewee Benrison shook leer bean to

ed, her burning eyes, that seemed to
worth down to has very soul, fixed upon
him strangely.
"Do I unelentsand that yott refuse to

Mrs. Benison needed a deliberate
'A ory of intense rage broke from his
lips.
"By heaven, we she,11 see about that!"
he cried, hoarsely. "Do you think I shall
entbrait to suoh it thing—widow the whim
of a doting old woman like you to
stand between me and a fortune? No,
I guess not! You shall eign this paper,
and in it hurry, too—by fair means or
your Vile will pay the penalty."
As he uttered the words, he seized the
plot from the littht welting table close
ley the eottelt, dipped it into the ink and
forced it into her rigid tend,
"Sign!" he hiseed, theneting the paper
before hen "Don't try to intimate that

"Oh, doctor, is the deadt" she gasped,.
eotemenoing to wring her hands wildly.
"Tell me that he is not, for the love of

"Oadm yourself, my gooesoul," replied
the etootor. "I wish I 'could tell you dif-

Old Etsehern grief wits pitiful to be-
hold Eeetenteie as Mrs, Darken had
been, tins fadthful creature loved her
with all her .hestet, and her midden de-
mise was it grief en ttenible that the old
doctor feared yeey much that her heart
would break then and there, or that site
would, lose her renson.
But even while this thought, drifted
through his mind, the latter calamity
fell upon poor, hapless old Esther. The
cries died away on het lips, giving place
to wild, tveird bursts of laughter, fan
more pathettc than the deepest grief
could have been.
Dr. Benson was about to turn may
to summon whoever else might be in the
house, -when suddenly a sight met hie
gaze that held. him fairly spellbound—
rooted to the spot.
He bent breathlessly over the rigid
form on the bed, his keen grey eyes
scrutinizing closely the faint discolored
streaks, the outline of long, thing fingers
that encircled the throat.
"Esther," he exclaimed, abruptly, "you
were just telling inc that you left your
mistress' couch to answer my ring at
the bell. Now, answer Inc this ques-
tion: 'Who did you leave behind you at
this bedside? Try to comprehend what
am saying to you, and sauever me."
She looked up into his face -with a
vacant stare, but her lips were uttering
some name as theugh she rea-lized dimly
the import of his questioning.
Dr. Benson bent down and listened. in.
Wetly. Yes, It was some 71101110 she was
muttering; as his ear became accustom-
ed to the guttural sound, he made out
what she was attempting to sity—"Nor-
ine, little Norine."
Good old. Dr, Benson was shocked—
ate horrified beyond all words. He knew
of but one Noriue, and that one the
blackamithes graneldeughter, Norine
Gordon, whom every one In .the village
of Hadley fairly wonslaiped. If old Es
ther had. struek a knife at his heart, she
could. not have caused him a deeper,
crueler, more intense pain than did that
one muttered name on her His.
While he had been. getting his greet -
coat off in the main hall below, old Es-
ther had given him a rapid account of
how her mistrees happened to be in
such a plight. She had ventured out of
the house, probably- letneding to visit
Hadley, and iind been overcome vrith the
cold just outside the gate, where she
would have frozen to death had she not
been discovered and been brought Into
the houee by a young giri, who hen
chanced to be passing.
Old Esther had not mentioned who
the young girl was, and it had not oc-
curred to him, to inquire tet the time,
"I will not—I menet believe it was
little Notine Gordon who found the poor
soul, Soc,ompanied the sick woman to
this room and was at this bedside, alone
with Mrs. Ba,rrison when she died, for
if I were to think that, it wohld be to
brand the hapless girl with the terrible
stigma of it crime.
"No, no, no! it cannot be; there meet
be some hideous nelatene. 1 'win seek
littleNorine at once and find out, the
truth from her own lips.' Great God -
she must coefess to me what truth, if
any, there is in this horrible story.'
In answer to his loud call for aseiste
awe in the corridor without, Clifford
Carlisle, Arise Austin and old Esther's
husband, came flocking quickly to 'Mrs.
Berrisorin apertment.
The was a meet dratnatic scene en-
acted, which even hoodwinked the doe -
tor, when Carlisle end the young woMint

"but let us get at the object of this un

"Why do you Vepeat all this to me?"'
exelahned Carlisle, hoarsely, "These

"I want to refresh your memory at

Carlisle uttered a fierce oath. '
Unheeding it, Miss Florice Austin
went on airily; "And new, regarding my
terms to insure my eternal silence and
stye you from paying the penaltn of
youe double crime. I demand that you
make me nom wife. You must ellen

"What if I refuse?" cried Clifford Car-
lisle, uttering a still more frightful im-
precation.
"I do not for an instant imagine that
you Will do Bo; you dare not, realizing
how completely you are in my power."
For a few moments -they gazed stead;
ily into each other's eyes, and Clifford
Carlisle realized that he hae more than

Sir Delaval totalled seven. votes
in an attempt on Andover in the gen-

election agent's hills is typical of
the reckoning, he had to pay: "To

Andover, to my legs being thereby
broken, to surgeon's bill and loss of
time aod business, all in the service,

twitch, and he'faintly protested. "Be-

ye'll never do for Dungarven."—From

There axe now about 2,000 ostrkhes
in Australia and, although the industry
was first established nearly 30 years
ago, and despite the fact that it has at
different times been the recipient of
Government assistance, it ean hardly be
called a flourishingeone. A great many
of the birds were imported from South
Africa, where there are many flourish-
ing farms devoted to their culture. The
outlook is it little more promieitg and
