It will be remembered that after she had taken tea with her father she repair- ed to her own room, where she made a careful copy of John Loker's confession, and then hid the original, with his sit nature attached, beneath the cushion of her jewel -box. She thein inclosed the copy in an envelope addressed to Earle, and proceeded to write a long letter to hint, recounting her adventures of the evening. . Her father had gone out immediately after supper, the servants were all abed in their rooms and she was alone in the front portion of the :house. It had taken her so long to make a copy of the confession that she was not half through with her letter when the cathedral clock near by struck the hour of eleven. Almost sinnlltareously with its last stroke the door of her room strung noiselessly open, and a fierce, ugly face, half shacked by n slouched hat, appeared in the aperture. A moment after the fi- gure of a man entered, the door was softly closed, and he advanced with a stealthy, cot like tread where the young girl, who was deeply engaged in writing to her lever, sat bending over her writ- ing d081c. She was not conscious of the presence of the intruder until, reaching for a new pen, she chanced to raise her eyes, and saw him standing close by her side. A cry of fright paled her lips as 0110 instantly recognized the repulsive features and burly form of Ton Drake. Without giving her Hine to repeat her cry, he clapped his hand over her mouth in the 00010 way lie had dorso"earlier kn the evening.

She shrank front him -in sudden terror at the question, but, after moment's thought, oho said: "N -o, I cannot say that it is; but I do not think you would quite dare to murder me to get it.
