bered reading an analysis of the thing.

the few poisons which leave no trace
behind it.

Merril declinerrgratefully and re-

the vial in his hand, pondering over

"I wonder in -what sliiengeh they

He placed it on the matitelshelt and

It. was Heeketh Carton who turned
over leer =isle for her when Clyde
sang; and he and StantOn were the
last to leave, Hesketh lingering to
speak to Clytie about a. lease of one
of the farina.
The smile whiehs had been ea dis-
tasteful to Mollie vanished as he left
the house and walked toward his own
home under the shadow of the works,
and his face greet =ode and thought-
ful. He had been a guest in the houee
which, but for hie hideous blunder in
burning tlae "wrong • will," Would have
'been his. He had neen just Mr, Hesk-
eth Carton of the Pit Works, among
the county people, instead elite mass
ter of Bramley; and the fact ate nito
hie' soul as acid* eats into metal. But
Lor that mistake! Wass, there no Way
cse rectifeing it, of recovering all that
he had loot?
In his Gafe lay Wilfred Carton'e re-
nunciatien of -Clyde; but it would trot
take effect before the time for grace
• had expired. 'Meanwhile, Wilfred Car-
ton, that gabond and outcast, might
return; eh sorts of things might hap-
pen to aeprive hire, neeketh, of any
hope of recovering the money and the
estate. Even if Wilfred Carton's re-
nunciation stood, the girl would be
mietress of it all. There was one way
of achieving the fortune he had let
slip; he might get Brantley by marry-
ing her. The idea had occurred to him
long ago, and he had followed it up by
paying her careful, guarded attentions.
But be was no fool, and he knew that
Clytle Bromley was one who would:
not be easily won; and the sister -
he clenched his teth at the thought
ot Mollie -disliked him, and would be
dead 'Against him. No, Clytie Bramley
was net easy to win; and, if she ,re-
fused him, she viould etand between -
him and all that he coveted.
There seemed no way open to him.
He felt, AS he let himself into the dark
and gloomy house, that, If a way cOuld
be ehowne he would follow it tip, how-
ever crooked it might be.
He turned up the gas, and was drew-
ing a chair to the fire to crouch over
sit, for Hesketh eves of a chilly dis-
position, when he heard a knock on
the outer of the two doors communi-
cating *with the works.
He listened for a moment doubtfullY,
for the hour was late; then, as the
knock was repeated, he rose, unlodked
the doors and found Merril standing
there.
"I beg your pardon, sir," he said.
"I'm afraid I'm disturbing you at this
late hoer; but you had gone out when
I came in the evening, and I thought
You ought to know!"
"What is the metter?" asked Hesk-
eth, rather curtly.
"It's lelarthe. Brown sir. She's
dead." •
"Well?" said Vesketh, rather impat-
iently. She was one of the ordinary
hands; she had been ailing for sortie,
tithe'and her death did not appear -to
him to be a matter of such importance
as to warrant :Merril's corning at this
hour of the night to announce it. "tre

"A, great many of the hands, the girls

money on finery and cheap jewelry to
have enough for *arm, sensible
clothes and helots,"
"That's true, sir, true enough," ad-
mitted Merril, shaking his head; "and
it was thought 'Martha Brown was
taken that way. Though I had my
doubts froni the first."
"Why 'should yon have any doubts?"
inquired Iiesketh, with barely coliceal-

HoW Suicides Came to Be Intern.
ed There.
In preadhristian days, Suicides were
terribly frequent, and it was generally
agreed that a man might escape the
burden ot life in this manner, without
discrediting his memory. Christianity
with its higher code of morals, tagght
the 'wickedness and cowardice of self°.
murdee, in the strengest term. When
consecrated churellyards were set
apart as the resting place of the
Christian dead, it was felt that those
who died ih deadly in. !at flagrant
rebellion against their MEAT., had eut
themselves offe(rom the faith, and had
no right to await ')ie resurrection
with faithful Chiratians. They were
believed to have put themselves out of
society, and to have forfeited their
rizht to share Its burial privileges. In
those early days, before ,churches
• could be built, it was the rule to
preach and conduct divine service at
• the cross-roads. Wooden and after -
Wards stone erosses Were erected to
Mark, the situation where services
Would be held. Sonie of these nave
hen preserved to this day, being me-
morials erected to the dead, or dedica-
tions of thanksgiving. Since sui-
cides might not be buried itt the
churchyard or other consecrated
ground, pity suggested that the next
311tait holy spot was the ground near
• the old cross, where service had once
been held, and was then held. They
buried the poor suicides there, because
they were unwilling to relinquish hope
for Mein, Afterward, for the sake of
greeter publicity, the gibbet and the
gallows were set tip at the croseroads,
and eriminals were buried beneath
them after their execution. The law
decreed that suicides should lie, with
thete criminals, ineoraer to mark the
detestetion in which the crime of self.
murder Wee Mid. And So what was
once a, signal of curiatien hope and
eitarity, beanie a lege' indignity int -
posed upon the dead bodies to mark
en immensely serious breash of the
law ot the country.
