FROM -THE GRAVE.
(CONCLUDED.)
Six years had passed since the event-
ful night when Mary had been brought
as dead to A.sley's door, when walking
one day in the streets of the city, he
met an old friend whom' he had not
seen, since his departure from America.
The recognition was mutual, and ,Aet-
'ley insisted upon his friend returning
with him to dinner. The invitation
was cordially given and willingly ac-
cepted. and, thinking to surprise_ Mr.
Holt by the sight of hisj wife's loveli-
ness, he said nothing of his being mar-
ried, picturing to himself what his as-
tonishment wouldiiee when he saw her.
Though he bad anticipated some evi-
dence of surprise, he was quite unpre-
pared for the excess of emotion display-
ed by kr. Holt upon his introduction
to Mrse..Asley. " The color left his face
for a moment, then returningviolently
dyed it crimson, and the words of ac-
knowledgement 'were stammered out
almOst unintelligibly. Recovering his
compdaure with a strong effort he offer-
ed his arm to lead Mrs. Astley to din-
ner, but she quietly declined- it, laying
her hand upon her husband's. During
the whole time of dinner, Mr. Holt
scarcely moved his eyes from Mary's
face, who did not seem disturbed by his
intense gaze, and took no notice of her
guest beyond what hospitality demand-
ed of er: •
ey's suspicions were excited long
before- the meal, was ended, and his
-heart ook a jealous leap as he thought
it poss ble that his friend was falling
in love with his beautiful wife.. He
Cursed. the impulse that had induced
him to bring Holt home wish him; and
busily invented excuses for ridding
ihimself of his guest as soon as possible.
Holt's agitation increased to positive
illness before long, -and rising, he asked
Astly to accompany him by the arm.
"Helt, are you ill. ?" asked Astley.
. "11111" he groaned, "I wish I was
dead." .
He sat down and' covered his face
with his hands.
"YoU'll think me a fool, Astley, but
the likeness of your wife to mine has
completely overcome me." ,
"Are you married; then ?" said Astley.
I did not know it." •
"1 was married eight years ago. I
married an English girl with your
wife's hair and eyes, her height too, and
with her sweet voice. I brought her
here directly .after our marriage, and
we lived the happiest in the world for
two years—and then she died".•
Astley was silent. He could think
of no words of consolation that would
not be g mockery to a man who had lost
such a wife as Mary.
"Died," Holt continued, after a°
pause, while I *as away from her. I
bad gone a three days journeyelea,ving
her in perfect health, and returned to
find that) she died' suddenly immediate-
ly after my departure, and Was already
buried." •
"How long ago !" asked Astley,
hoarsely; ahorrible light breaking in
upon him.
. "Six years. I left Lima the follow-
ing day. 1 never visited her grave,
but ret ed to America at once; aud
now, afer these years I find your wife
se like er in every. look and feature,
that'in" old wound is torn open afresh,
and the, intolerable anguish has made the past to her memory, and if she can
me cry out in this way,". remember You in the faintest degtee, 1
Astle started up and laid hi ii hands
/
upon his friend's shoulder with a grasp
like a vi e. His voice was harsh and
dry, and his eyes were bloodshot and
starin cr.
"H'polt, for God's sake, let us do noth-
ing rashly! Come with , me co your
ewife's grave and let us be veryitire."
Holt looked up and Saw all .in Ast-
ley's° face.
"Speak," he shouted, "s1*- .is my
wife 1 . Tell me how you *It her,
sneak quickly, while I can 1 you,
,
for there is the sound of a t in
my ears that deafens me 1"
. And he fell in a swoon ateekestley's
feet • ,
*see.
He might have died in titds swoon
for all Astley could do to revive him.
He stood blindly staring- at ,Ole , pale
face, but was in. capable of so ,r,auch as
holding but a hand to him. •
Holt came lo himself before long,
and, risings up, haggard and wild, re-
peated his demand that Astley Should
tell him 'wbere he had met la beauti-
ful wife. ` . -
And be did tell him, sparing nothing;
saying plainly - Out that she had been
brought to him by the body-snachers as
a subjects; -that sbe had lain' as dead
.on his table for, a whole night, sheeted
and shrouded like- a 'corpse. '
"And you dared"—burst in Roll,
who wa ahnost beside himself.
"I saved her life," said Astley, sent-
ly ; he bad softened as he thought of
that restoration. "Will you come with
me to, the grave, that we may be very
certain I"
"No, no, no," Holt moaned ; the
fury was passing away, and giving way
to a dull sorrow. "I can bear no more.
It is certain, more 'certain than death,
that your wife is mine. . May 09d Itelp

Wlii.cli of those men was the most
to be pitied ? .
There Were some moments of horri-
i
ble silen e, in which heard the beating
Of hi a hart like a navy- drum. Holt
spoke again. .
"Ask 'Edith to come here. Surely
3if)
she cann t have forgotten me." -
"Mar I call her Mary. I will on-
ly distress her. I give ' you my word
of honor 1 she has no memory of any-
thing bef re the trance."
lit*But hen he saw the - passion in
bit's ' face he judged it best for his
sake that' she should come. Since he
phose to -blear from her own lips What he
had refused to believe from his friend's
he should I do so. -`
She 'Caine quickly at the sound of the
loved voiees, and glided into the room,
looking like angel of peace between
two evil t;pirits. She stooped short as
she caught sight of Astley's face all
drawn and set with an effort to sup-
press his emotion, and then threw her
arms aroUnd his neck with a cry of
love a,nd terror. - .
But he -unwound her arms, and, for
the first time drew back from her em-
brace. .
"Mary, my love," Holt's eyes flashed
fire at the tender words and tones," "tell
me, tell Mr.' Holt, if you remember
anything n your life before you awoke
from youri trance in this house 1"

She was, pale and trembling with ter-

The oath was intyrrupted by Astley.

The struggle was an awful one, and
shook him as the wind shakes a reed.
"You tell her," said Holt, bitterly,
"perhaps she will believe'whatyou. say.
At any rate, she will listen to it."
It was hard to begin the cruel task,
yet for her sake he undertook it, his
voice trembling though he tried with
all his will tosteadyit .

'"She must come with me," shouted
Holt, savagely. .
The demon had got the better of him,
and the poor 'wretch, mad .with jealmis
pain, spoke with pain, spoke bitter and
unjust words, that made the terrified
woman cling more closely to Astley for
protection.
