was too late to prevent you from fall-

since it has given me the pleasure of

The crimson crept slowly into her
face while I was speaking, then %reced-
ed, and left her pale as marble.
"You were not to blame, .sir," she
said, in a strained voice,
" I thank you for tho service you
have done me, and bid you good even-
ing." •• _
"-At least, allow me to know your
name, and to -escort you home."
" Thanic you," she said coldly. "My
name is Florence Haye, and my home
is at the Manor. It io but a step. I
will not'trou Lie you,"
" Trouble ! 4 It would be a pleasure,"
I began., impetuously, for, in the pre;s,
ence of this woman, I seemed to have
lost my identity. -.

look like a gentleman. I do not -wish

wishes '?" . '
‘.‘ Since my presence is unwelcome I
will not urge you. My name is Guy

At the end of a wee I had made a
somewhat desperate rescaution. I took
a new. book—the semblance of excuse—
and went to the Manor.- •-The front
door was adjar, and the October sun-
shine fell slant and golden on the floor
of the hall. ' '
I knew -I was impertinent, but , it
was no use tO knock and ask for Mrs
Haye. Of course I should be denied.
and I was in.n9 mood for denial. So
1 crossed the hall itild entered the sit-
ting -room. I thought I should find
her there. The crimson carnet smoth-
ered my footfall. I could almost touch
her before she saw me. She was sit-
ting in a low chair, her black lustreless
dress sweeping around her, her white
hands clasped above a broken clustre of
dead clematis.- •- =

ner haughty and repellant. as she cer-
tainly had -a right to make it
• " To what am I indebted for -this un-

asked, coldly,., .
"1 -know 1, I am impertinent, Mrs
Hoye ; I know you would not be wrong
to censure:me, but I wanted to see.you

book, but I did not come for that.

"On one condition," she answered
'slowly. ,
"And that I" .
"You must go at once. I 4O not
want you. to remain* a single moment
longer. I might call my Servants and
have you turned out at once, but I will
not do that; I will simply ask you to
leave me." '
.Such a look at; she cast at me-! ' It
would have melted a will of iron. It
disarmed ine, and -made me powerless,
-
I rose instantly. .
" Pardon me .if I seem inhospitable,
but there are reasons—" ' . ,
She stopped abruptly, then resumed
in an altered voice,— - s

She - laid her hand on my arm; I
put mine over it. She -might have led
me to the utmost paits of the earth

grouuds, where she hesitated, a moment,
then said—

I was satisfied.

A fortnight passed. ,It was Novem-

cruel north wind; and as I drew my

that I was not Dr. Heith over the way,

heard a tap on the window which open-

Florence Haye confronted me, White as
death ; the very lips had lost all bloom,
and were colourless and rigid as those
of a corpse.
"1 want you I" she said, hoarsely.

I obeyed ha- silently. For the rest
of the night all was still as the tomb.
Day broke redly over the hills at last --
the storm was done. Florence opened
the door of my room and came
There, -Were- dark circles arqund her

She bent her head, and touched my

The 'motion intoxicated me. I for-

".Never that!" she cried, hoarsely; •
"never that 1- Guy Erlington, it is a

Her manner awed me. I drew back
and folded my cloak around me.
"One thing, Mrs Haye, if agithi you
need me, you -will call me I"
" Yes—I proraise--1 an glad to

, And so I left her.

whose life \Vas wrapped in so deep a

At eleven o'clock that night I stood
within the hall of the Manor. Florence

She put her handsin mine.
"1 am glad to *see you," she *said.
"1 have one more favour to ask of you,
and then I am done. I wonder if you
will grant me even that r'
"I will do anything for you."
"Come, then, Follow me." .
She led the way up the stairs to the
door of the lighted room, and with her
hand upon the knob she stopped,
"It is not yet too late. If you re-
pent there is still time to go back. B,e'
member, I do not Urge you : act of your
own flee will." -
"Go 'on," I said, firmly. " Your .
will is mine."
She clasped hands with me silently,
bowed - her imiaa .with reverence, and
went in. I followed her.
It was an oblong room, lighted:by a
single lamp, 'which burnd on the man-
tlepiece. The windows_ Were heavily
curtained, the furniture black,. walnut,
grim with age. The air was danip and
cold as that of a toinb. In the centre
of the room stood a table, -,,and on it was
a long, rough box, half _covered -with a
black cloth.
Florence stepped up to the side of
hebox, and raised the cover. I.knew
well _enough what'I Should see.

I cried,

" I.may not need you at all," she said,
as she was going out ; " but if I do—"
"You may trust meunto death!"
• She left the door ajar, and a mo-
ment after I heard the dull clang of the
heavy doer of that lighted room as it
closed behind her. Whatever that
mysterious apartment might contain
she was with it, A dead silence fell'
upon the place, broken only by, the
singing of the wind, in the tall chimney,
and the. nlonotOnous drip, drip of the
rain upon the toot'.
The night dragged on. Twelve
stroxes pealed out out on the air from
the old clo61Con tlitir. 'A little
afterwards I heard a stir in the lighted
room. Then a moan,
rising gradually
to something,like a howl, and succeed-
ed by a sound that was half like the
voice of a wild beast. I left -my place
by the lire, ancl stood before the door
which shut me out from her .and her
peril.
I heard her voice distinctly, it was
soft and soothing, like. a mother's when
she fondles a sick child. Then- there
was a sharp; fiendish cry) a fierce strug-
gle, a smothered groan, .and a heavy
fall. Still sbe had.not called me !

" Heaven grant it may ceme right
speedily !" I said. " You do not know
