not toll you why, but I am afraid my
brain is not quite strong. Will you stay

"Certainly, I will," ropliod Agatha,
"I will minty with ploasuro, and I will
road yon to sloop."
But. though alto road hour after hoer,
tho weary head tossed to and fro, and
no sleep come to tho burning oyo0.
1"or two days the unhappy woman
ltopt to hor room, and two null days as
they were uevor fell to the lob of any
woman. Sho would have no ono with
hor but Agatha, oithor by night or by
clay.
"I aril not ill," she would maty ; "I am
nervous, and frightened by shadows.
Stay with roe. Do I look wild or
strange? It is fancy, Stay yourself;
(lo not let any one oleo near."
She remained through two days and
two nighty, ,over leaving her ; but what
days they woro, and who-(( nights ! Shu
novo forgot them. Thu nervous clutch
of 1110 burning hands, the terrified start
at every sound; and Agatha had no
chance of seeing Mr. Norman, or telling
him anything about his wifo's 111(1 1131,

each day to know how she was, Neither
had she any ohauco of Knowing what he
thought or felt over beautiful Freda.
Silo was struck by the av1dity with
which each day Mrs. Norman asked for
the flap„rs, every word of which mho
flavoured. The people of Paris were

of all human shape. For sontodays her
life was despair:'1 of, and the b0111)1les
issued by the physicians were MA with
far greater anxiety than if mho had boon
a queen. Tho people tt*ert) troubled to
read that their 01100 br111iaut favorito
lay moaning arca praying that she might
die,
Then tho attention of the Govern-
me11t was turned to the outrago, and a
rowarcl was offered for tho apprehension
of tho offender.
"Peual servitude for lifo-nothing less
the senttucu would bo."
And Mrs. Norman, reading tho com-
ments on tho affair, among other things,
r1a(l that.
"It is a W0000 punishment than
death," sho said, slowly, and Agatha
answered:
"It is a worse crimo than murder.
It is a dastardly orimo-ono that is the
outcome of a weak, dastardly, horrible
uaturo :
11r0, Norman shrank and shivered at
tbo words. Sho raised the most piteous
and frightened oyes to Agatha's face,
"Why do you say those things to mo ?"
she asked.
"For no reason oxcept that wo wcro
speaking of it," elm replied.
But from that 010010111 a great and
terrihlo dread fastened itself with cor-
taiuty on Agatha's mind. Could it bo
possible that attar all, this miserable
woman had committed the crimo ? ;She
had feared it at first, but who spontan-
eous oviclonoe of the servants, that 14Irs.
Norman had returned within sovau min-
utes after 8110 left, had completely do-
stroyod the suspicion ; in that short
Limo she could not havo gone to tho
theatro and book. Just now it occurred
to her that she might have driven thou°
and back -might havo hailed some pass-
ing cab, and havo driven to a stroot
near tho thoatro, and have returned in
tbo same fashion.
She looked at hor stoadily. Abyes,
thorn was guilt -deep, horriblo guilt -
in that most miserable fade ? Ilor whole
soul recoiled with horror; sho could not
endure to broatho tho sumo air. She
knew woll enough flow much tho unfor-
tunate woman had suffcrod, and could
maim ovory allowance ; but this was too
horriblo-no ono could forgivo it ; it was
the outcome of a miserable, dopravod,
morbid mind. Tho pure and goutlo
nature of tho girl r0vo11od from any con-
tact with such a criminal; and Mrs,
Norman read her thoughts in her fano,
It was a strange coiucidonco that
whilo she stood looking in hopeless an-
guish and dismay at 0.110 guilty faro,
Aline canto to say that 0,Ir, Norman
wanted to. soo her at once. Sho hastened
down and found him in tbo grand salon,
pacing up and down with hasty foot-
steps, with a face so stern and white
sho hardly recognized it. He turnod to
hor abruptly, and closed who door. Ho
stood dirootly boforo her.
"Do you know," ho ariod "what tho
pooplo in Paris are saying about n13t

"No," sho answered, "How should 12

you do not boliove it ?"
Nor Agatlla's faco had grown colorless,
and sho trembled violently.
"It cannot be that you boliove it?"
110 said. "Oh for Ileavon's wilco speak

"I will toll you all I know," sho ro.
pliod : and sho gave him tbo history of

ho lookod so nuuttorably miserable, so
distracted,
"Is this true?" ho asked.
"Yes; porfootly true," sho ropliod,

"I must go and say "good -by' to that
hapless, wretahocl lady," said Agatha.
"I thick you had better not, If she
11In01V you woro going away, there is no
knowing what She might do ; she might
break out into Homo paroxysm or other.
Tho groatosb kindness you can do to me

country in any direction not absolutely

to find you, if you carry out those in-
structions they will never succeed. Will
you do this?"
"Yes, I will," ohm answered.
"Every sound I hear frightens mo.

"Nothing," ho said. "Your evidence

"Good -by, If over that dreadful
affair'ends better titan you fear, bo kind

"I will," he replied, and tilero was
something like emotion in his face.
Tho packing was quickly done; but
Agatha oould not leave without looking
once more at tho haploss lady. Sho
would not toll her she was going, bub
wicked and horriblo as her conduct had
boon, Agatha Could not go without see-
ing her ouco more. She wont to hor
room boforo she put on hor travoling
attire. She found Mrs. Norman crouch-
ed on tho window -scot, and whilo Agatha
Lived she never forgot the expression of
liar face; hor tendo0, womanly heart
bled for this terribly stricken, desolate
woman ; she almost forgot tbo 01ormi1y
of hor crimo iu the groatnoss of pity.
She wont up to hor and laid hor hand
on tho two that wore so tightly
clenched.
God forgives everything," she said,
quietly, "to those who ask pardon," but
the dull, leaden misery of tho face never
cinema, and Agatha wont in silence.
Sho thanked Heaven when she stood
once more in tho freo, fresh air -that
atmospllcro of crime and misery had
stiflod her; sho said to herself that sho
would far rathor die than over havo
anything moro to do with such a class
of leoplo. Sho did just as she was
tolel; sho took a ticket for Genoa, and
thou destroyed it. Sho inado her way
to who country llousc of the Countess do
Timmy, knowing that she would bo
welcome thorn. Sho wrote to madame,
who joined hor at once. Agatha would
not return to Paris because tbo young
count was there.
'twos at tho country -house of Madame
do Kerney that sho react tho finale of
the horriblo story sho had boon so deep-
ly inberosted iu. After all, it had bcon
usoless sending hor out of the way, the
ovidonco against Mrs. Norman was too
strong.
Tho trial had caused tho groatost
s0nsatiou, not only over Franco, but
over tho whole of Europe. It was a
muse al'lebre such as who public had rare-
ly gloated over boforo.
