"Yes-; but the nature of the will makes no difference to the crime its de- struction involves,"! said Gavin Ward- rop quietly. In his voice there was no suspicion of thele-. agitation and dread whichpossessed. him. He was playing ' A game afhazard, and it would require `his most consummate skill to ensure success. His col4„.penetrating eye never for a moment left the girl's distiessed face;, and he was almost - master of the situatzon., lie would take it for granted that she had ' destroyed the will, and topeak accordingly. "Listen to me.,yaggie," he said in low, clear - tones. •.. t Have you never heard that it is customary fora person who Makes a will to leave, a duplicate in the hands of legal advisers ?

But for that Other fellow, I believe I should have succeeded." - ' ' "NQ, no," fell in a "sobbing whisper from Maggicee lips. .: f " There is no alternative now. Mag- gie. Unless you fulfil the conditions of Mies Dempster's will, you know what remains. "Only separation from Driimkeillour Lor papa mime," said Maggie, -"What can it involve more ?" - . "Something worse. "You have little experience of such things, but you must know that the destroying of a will is a felonious offence, Maggie," said Gavin Wardrop, -and his voice trembled With 'excitement. He was playing a deeper .ate game. ' ,; "-No one taw me! You cannot prove , it ?" exclaimed Maggie, springing to her feet, for she was brought to bay.' ,A gleam of satisfaction leaped into Guy Wardrop'e dark eye; but Meggie's nerves were too 'completely Unstrung to enable her to read the expreseion on her - tormentor's face, though he was making capital out of hers, "You are very sure Maggie," he said • meaningly.

"Von are completely in my power, but you will fie& me neither harsh nor Ungenerous. I love You, Maggie, almost as my own soul." "If :you so love me as you lay, be pitiful, be generous to 'me !"- she ex-. claimed, clasping her hands in entreaty: "Let me go away from Drtimkeillour back to the obscure poverty in which, it least, I was happy. - Do not hold Me to the bond of the will. Do not; Guy Wardrop, and you will earn thy life-long :gratitude." ' __ • . "And your father; What will it be to him in his weak old: age to turn his back upon Drumke-illour ? . You -know how he is bound up in the place. -Part:. ing from it will be certain death to him. and then what of you ? • , Again Maggie's face fell -upon - her. trembling hands. The thought of her father, of the blow felling upon.him, was more than she could bear: "Then look at the other side of the picture," 'Urged Gavin- Wardrop. , ‘f Only be mywife, Maggie, and I will strive to 7 maker. our life one long summer day.

It is not very long when it is a matter of life, or death." she added, witira look of such deep pathos that the man's heart smote him. Beloved her with a selfish love, and yet he would fain have sliatecl. her -such keen pain. ' "By all mewls. My • darling; I Will not be hard :upon . you..

I feel so strange- ly. My brain is whirling. I will be calmer to-rnerrow:' I will come here in the morning, and tell you my decision, - Only promise me you will say nothing to papa till g- give you leave. Spare him as long as possible." "Your word is law,": said _ Gavin Wardrop fervently, and raising one of the white hands respectfully to his lips, he opened the library door • for her to pass Out . • Maggie'zis weak and trembling limbit could scarcely beer her upstairs; but at length she reaehed her own room, which she gladly ' entered, and, lockingthe door, threw -herself On the bed. Oh, to fall asleep and wake no More. Such .was the wild desire., of ;her soul. But there could i be no rest until the battle was fought, .until the matter was decid- ed either way. ' So, after the wild-Atli:4 sobbing had spent itself, she rose, and moving over to the window, drew up the blind, and sat clown there.
