Next she opened a drawer of the

bearing the words, "If I am deadn

this for sonic moments, sighed deep-

also a half sheet and bore a few lines
addressed to herself. She read this
several times and then folded it also,'

Approaching the door which com-

refuse to let Mr. Barnes see Marvel,
but he pe itively declined to take any
part in the matter himself.
Descending to the cabin, almost the
ilret ihdividual whom he met was Mar-
vel, and Mr. Barter•, approaching him,
:addressed him as follows :
" 1Nr. Marvel, I believe ?"
"That is my name, but you are a

" air. Marvel, I have a very unpleas-
