CHAPTER XXXVIII.
The marquis, still surrounded
the excited crowd, found himself out-
side the court. 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.

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,

tite, and no energy. I tried to con-
tinue the work, but grew worse and

as much money, as slue demanded, and

Luigi uttered no contradiction. He
deemed it best to let the bitter tide
of self-reproach have its way and
exhaust itself.
"Her father -the poor old man !-

he hurried through the hall. "I -I

.CILAP,TRula XXXIX.
Saunders led the way io the
bridge. 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

jerked his head towards the vial in
the doctor's hand. "Send for the mar-
quis," she managed to say. Brown

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.
