She pressed her hnnds upon her hend, nnd there wns incipient mndness In her ryes, as sho muttered, "Oh, thou who hnth my fate In thy hnnds. spare my reason, that I may hnvc vengennce upon that wretch !" "There wns not n crime that the villain did not lay to your charge." "And you could listen to It all?" she Raid, sadly. "Not without twice striking him to the ground." "Bless you bless you for that !" she cried, fervently. "Oh, thnt you had kill ed him! But no; I would not linve hnd Unt, for then you would hnvo lobbed mo of my vengennce." "Unhappy woman ! Do not tnlk of vengeance," he nnswered. reprovingly. "This man snid that but for your machi nations the mortgage money would have been forthcoming. Oh, Eleonore, this cannot be true !" "I would have laid down my life to nave renrhyddyn," she cried. "Oh, do not think me such a wretch ns that ! But I feel that he has woven such n mesh round mc thnt I know not wbnt I may liave done unwittingly. The anonymous letter I gave you I obtained from him. I now see it was n snare I saw It the Instant you told me he was interested in the mortgage; and it was that which threw me into the fits Inst night. I have been to his office this morning, trying to Bee him. I can feel thnt he has mnde me n tool in bringing about this ruin; but I do not know how but, oh, do not thiuk me knowingly guilty!" "I do not," he answered, solemnly. "I must make one more confession. I am the child you saved from the wreck. But I did not know it until I beard the utory from your lips; and it was the awful fatality that was enshrouding us that made me fly from you. I am Eleo nore de Solssons, the namesake of that picture." "I have felt that it was so all along" he answered, sadly; "but I never dared to ask of you n confirmation. Poor child, why shquld I blame you? You have been no free agent; you have been but nn in strument in the hands 61 a resistless des tiny. When, in John Trevethick's cot tage, we were plighted to each other, nnd I pronounced the words, "Death alone can separate us,' Death was at our side. As we left the altar, Death was the first object our eyes fell upon; and Denth f about us now in this our last meeting. Uefore I go," he went on, "let me warn you that this Wylie has threatened to have you arrested upon some charge. You had better at once seek some other abode." "Have me arrested! for what?" she cried. "But you are right, aud I will ,act upon this caution; Tor there is no extremity he would not 'go to take away .my liberty." "Seek no revenge upon him, for my sake; avoid everything that may lead to exposure. My lawyer, Mr. Briggs, will liave instructions to pay over to you on application such sums as I can send you out of my earnings abroad: and here are Jour five pound notes." "I shall never go to him for money do not leave me any!" me answered through her sobs. But he placed the notes upon the table, end once more moved towards the door. "Let me kiss your hand,-' sho said, en- trentingly. He held out his hand. She took it. gazed upon it for a moment, kissed it nassionately, and beoewed it witn tears Even then, spite of all, so powerful ".was the old love within him. that he could scarcely refrain from raising and pressing her to his heart, in one last wild embrace. But he conquered the weakness. His hand slides from her' clasp one lingering look their eyes meet -for the last time on earth and then he is gone. and she lies senseless upon the floor! "Freeman," said Eleonore, after she liad revived, "I must not sleep in this house to-night. Wylie nas threatened to have me arrested upon some trumped-up charge, and he dare not let me be loose, If he can help It, after what has passed AVe must go to our old homo until morn' Ing, and then think of some better place of concealment. The servanla must be discharged, and this house shut up." Mr. Wylie did take out a warrant", as he had threatened. The charge being the nbduction of Miss Constance Grierson; the proof produced by him the very letter which hnd been written In his office un der his dictation. But the policeman who cnino to execute it found the bird had , flown. fUTAPTEIt XXVII. r'n ,llmlv lit lied chamber In n remntp lctr!rr 11 f London, towards I ho close nf II ll - I - - a dark December day, sits a woman at needlework a iniuuie-ageu, piaciu-iooKing woman.

"And it was 1 I who contrived her nbduction who wns the means of pre venting this; nnd he made me tho tool to work my own' destruction. From whom did you hear nil this?" "From Mr. Stafford.

By the dim light she perceived n little in nu ance of her on her left hand a winning staircase; she considered far a moment, and then crept up the stone steps in the same noiseless manner as before. At the head of these steps was a pn clnns corridor, lit. at the end at which she stood, by a largo window: there ..i.i i ,tr. were doors on eacn siue uprums m fcreut chambers.
