It was dark now, and the light from the lamps at the entrance of the building fell garishly upon his haggard face. He had passed through the valley of the shadow of death, and he bore traces of the dread journey. There was no Castle carriage waiting for him -who could have expected that anything- but the prison van would be required I -but Sir Edmund placed his at Mr. In - gram's disposal. "Get him home as soon as you can, Ingram," he aak1. "Get him away from the crowd," and Ingram, almost forcing: the marquis and Luigi from the encircling mo!ti, put them in the carriage and jumped upon the seat beside the coachman. As they drove away, the marquis saw Elaine and the major pass them in Mr. Bradley's brougham, and with a long breath he fell back. Not a word passed between the two men during the homeward drive; but now and again the blind roan touched th'e marquis' arm timidly, as if to assure Himself that his beloved friend and protector was really there, safe and out of danger. The marquis passed . through the line of pale and sympathetic ser- vants, and went straight to the lib- rary, Luigi leaning upon his arm. But when he bad got there it seemed as if he would not take the sadly needed rest. He paced up and down with feverish haste. How cruelly I wronged her !" fell from his parched lips.

The Story of the Recovery of Miss Falford, of St. Elie She Says " 1 Ani Confident That Dr. Williams' Pink rills Saved My Life" -[tope for all Weak, Sickly Girls. To be well, to be strong, to pos- sess a clear domplexion, bright eyes and an elastic step, the blood must be pure and filled with life-giving energy. When you see pale, sallow, sickly girls, easily tired, subject to lreadaelres, backaches and violent palpitation of the heart, it is the blood that is at fault, and unless the trouble is speedily corrected the patient passes into that condition known as "decline,"' and.daatli fol- lows. The one eure, positive way to obtain rich, red, health -giving blood is to take Dr. Williams' Pink Pills. This medicine has saved thousands of young girls from a premature grave. Strong proof of this is offered in the cure of Miss Zenaide 1'alford, of St. Elie, Quebec. Miss Falford tells the story of her sickness and recovery as follows: "Like many other Can- dian girls, 'I went to the United States and found employment in a factory at Woonsocket. The close, in- door work proved too much for ine and nearly ended in my death. At first I was taken with headaches, would tire very easily, had no appe- tite, and no energy. I tried to con- tinue the work, but grew worse and worse, and fina Ily was compelled to return to my 'blame. I was so much changed and so emaciated that my friends hardly knew, me. Two weeks alter my return home . was forced to take my bed, I head a bad cough; was distressed by t rible dreams„ and sometimes pa ed whole nights without sleep.

By the time head taken nine or ten boxes I w once more enjoying thie blessing of perfect :health. No symptoms of the old trouble remain, and I am confident Dr. Williams' Pink Pills saved my life." Pure blood is the secret of health and it Is because every dose of Dr. Williams' Pink Pills make new, rich loon, tth;at they cure such desper- te oases as that above relaied.

"I'm -I'm deeply grieved at hav- ing to force my presence on you, my lord," stammered Saunders, as he hurried through the hall. "I -I know- your lordship acquits me of anything worse than an endeavor to do my duty." Luigi touched him warningly. "Be spent,•" he whispered, "and take tie where you wish as to go quickly.

As they neared it Luigi heard voices speaking In suppressed tones, and his grasp of the nrarqule'' arm tightened nervously. Saunders flashed his light upon' the bridge, and the marquis saw two men kneeling beside something; one was Brown, the detective; the oth- er, Dr. Simmons. They were kneeling beside Fanny_ Inchley. She lay, her head rest- ing upon the doctor's knee, her white face drown and distorted as if with agony, her eyes closed. "Is she--" asked Saunders in a hushed whisper. The doctor shook his head. "No! My lord; I am glad you have come. Hers is the last chapter of this awful mystery !" And he In- clined los head to the still figure. The marquis stood and looked down, at her in silence, his lips compressed, his brows drawn. "Why has she sent for me? he asked grimly. "What has happen- ed to her ?" The doctor held up a small vial -it was the vial she had stolen from the chemist's the morning Lady, Blanche had followed her there, "Poison!" he said in a low voice. Luigi caught the word. • "And lying there? Why do you not take her home?" Ile asked. stIlltinsof no use," said the hushed voice. "She wohe uld die before we could carry her a hun- dred yards. It is only a question of a few minutes." Brown got up, and ad- dressed the marquis apologetically. . "I'm not to blame, my lord, I'm not indeed 14 he said. "When Mr. Saun- ders told me to follow her, I left the court at once, and went to the Castle and hid just outside her aunt's door, meaning to intercept her. But she got in by the door of the small tur- ret. I founds the key on her." And he held up the key Fanny had had made. "She must have used this key to get in and out of the Castle on the night of the murder. She had it this even- ing, and got to her room while I was waiting outside there for her. She couldn't have been in more than ten minutes -fifteen at the most -but when I went just to see if she had slipped in some other way, I found she had been and gone. Look at her dress, my lord !" The marquis looked, and stared, It was not the dress she had worn in the court, but another of some light material, and there was a dark red stain on the sleeve and on the bosom. "It is the dress she wore that night, my lord," continued Brown in a whisper. "She'd put 1't on be- cause -well, you see," and he looked round, "she was half out of her mind. They do things of that kind when they've (leen brooding over things and got fascinated. Half out of her mind, that's what she was. I looker.' for her all over the place. It didn'teoccur to me that she'd come here. Mr. Saunders thought of this place, and here we found her." "She was leaning over the rail just as Mr. Locke saw her the other day,!' aaid Saunders, taking up the tale. "Brown and I stole upon her as quietly as we could, but she heard as -she'd ears like a eat, and a step as light, too. She heard us, and faced round. She saw the game was up -I could see that by the look on her face -and as we sprang forward • she put her hand up to her mouth, and luy the ed her she was ime e wasfalling..Poison," had lie jerked his head towards the vial in the doctor's hand. "Send for the mar- quis," she managed to say. Brown and I .L•egged her to make a clean breast of it to us, but that was all we could get out of her, "Send for the marquis; only him!' I came at once, my lord, but I'm afraid It's too late." The marquis , said nothing, but looked down at the wretched girl with sad abstraction. It seemed al- most incredible that this poor crea- ture, even with the aid of Lady Blanche, should have been able to work so much mischief, and Cause such intense misery. (To bo Continued.)
