'.• The next day Dr. Clark had inter- viewan with Casslnovo in the prison and pointed out to him that the only course to prevent Laura giving evidence was to make her his wife. Cassinove at first demurred, but the, good doctor easily persuaded him that it would be for the best. And then he took his leave for a Cohort time to make the arrangements for the strange marriage. First he called at the lodgings of Miss Elmer, whom he found dressed as if for a walk. "My carriage is at the door, my child, and if you are going to visit our prisoner this morning, I will gladly take you there," said the doctor, artfully. "I thank you; I was just going; I am quite ready, and need not detain you an instant," sad iMss Elmer, joining him. He took her to the prison, through all the halls and passages to the cell of Cas- s/move, saw her enter, and then withdrew to procure the special license. Then he cared upon Cassinove's old pastor, the Rev. Henry Watson, of St. Matthew's. He found the good old man in his study, end in a private interview, explained to bite the service for which he was wanted. Now, among the very law who had an unshaken faith in the innocence of Csasinove,was' the Rey. Mr. Watson, the tor, who 'had known him intimately from childhood up to maturity.

Once more they were interrupted P tel h\ the opening of the cell door and the en- trance of Dr. Clark and Mr. Watson, who were ushered in by the turnkey, who im- mediately withdrew. Dr. Clark recognized the Duchess of bowed,Bereslelwithgh and presented pleasure, the Rev. Mr.Wat Wat- son. The little party quite filled up the nar- row cell. "The officers of the prison seem to think that you are holding a levee this morning, Cassinove, and are probably wondering what it, is about. I did not think proper to voluntter an explana- tion," said Dr. Clark, cheerfully. "Young lady," said the minister, ap- proaching Miss Elmer, and speaking in a low voice, 'is this step that you are about to take well considered?" "Yes, sir, it is well considered," an- swered Laura Elmer, gravely and firmly. „heaven,then, I must in the name of proceed. Stand up, if you please," said the minister, opening his book. Cassinove arose and led Laura before him. Dr. Clark took his place beside Cassin- ire, and the young duchess stood by Laura Elmer. The marriage ceremony was commenc- ed with the usual formulas. When they came to the question, "Who giveth this woman to be married to this man?" 'I do," said the venerable Dr. Clark, 1 cin and a S taking the hand of the bridep it in the hand of the bridegroom. \Viten they reached the point where were very few in number ---consisting of his venerable pastor, his old schoolmas- ter, and his old nurse, all come to tes- tify to the excellence of his character from his childhood up. With these Cas- sinove was astonished to see old Colonel Bast rags, dressed in deep mourning, and looking worn and wasted as though from illness. Cassinove beckoned Mr. Fulmer, his junior counsel ,and inquired: "How came Colonel Hastings hither?" "He presented himself this morning as lie voluntary witness for the defence. has just arrived from Baden-Baden, where his constitution received a terrible shock in the death of his only and ido- lized son" "The death of his son? Mr. Albert Hastings? When did he die?" inquired Cassinove, in surprise. "About a month ago." "Was he" long ill?" "In body, not an hour. In mind, always I fear. He blew out his brains after los- ing fifty thousand pounds at a eard table in Baden-Baden. It has broken his fath- er's heart, as you may see. The old man was ill for many adys after the cas- tastrophe, and has only just arrived in England, to serve you, if he can, he says." The attorney -general proceeded to open the case for the Crown by stating at large the facts attending the mur- der for which the prisoner at the bar had been indicted, commented severely as he progressed upuon the atrocious nate ure of homicide in general, and of this murder in particular, wherein he said ' were all the vices of ingratitude, hypo- , crisy and cowardice.

Oaesimove was sitting just where the doctor had left him on the side of his mattress, with les hands clasped toge- ther and his head sunk upon his breast. He looked up as Laura entered, and, ria- ing extended his hands to her, saying: "Oh, Laura! oh, my guardian sprit, can you surmise what Dr. Clark ,has been saying to me this morning?" "Yes, yaw, mine own, for I sent him to say it," replied Laura Elmer, with noble truthfulness, as she placed both her bands in hie. "And are you, my beautiful preserver, prepared for the sacrifice which, indeed, I fear it is doing a great wrong to ask of you?" "It will be no sacrifice on my part. It is the only possible way to Save your- self from an unsuetly-inflicted death, and me from a fatal remorse." "Alas, Laura! when I first met and worshipped you—when I first dared to dream of the poy of making you my own —thin was not the sort of bridal J. pic- tured to myself!" said Caseinove, with a deep groan. "No, my awn; you thought of con- quering fortune, and laying it ''x't my feet and of lifting me to a position high- er, if possible than that from which I fell. This is 'what you planned for one.
