B u t thu road «w nied very rough. G reat
r u ts had been m ade in th e earth , softened
hy the long rain, and Che«? caused her
to trip and fall tw ice. Both time*« it had
ja rre d h er arm and d raw n forth te a rs of
anguish
A t last th e gate waa reached
and opened w ith difficulty, then a dizzy
feeling cam e over her, and ju st as her
fe e t atepped on the porch she fell for­
w ard in a long, death-like awoon.
L>r. E lfen stein had goue into th e coun­
try , a fte r hia call a t the b aronet’s, to
v isit a ra th e r critical case, in d did not
re tu rn until q u ite late.
H e had reached his home, given his
ho rse to th e m an in w aiting, and then
tu rn e d to en ter his door. B ut w h a t was
th is he saw lying in a heap upon the
|M>rch? Stooping to discover if it m ight
n o t be a large, stran g e dog, his fingers
cam e in co n tact w ith a hum an hand, ami
from its sm all size he knew it belonged
to child or woman.
T h row ing open the door with his latch ­
key, the light from the hall revealed
Mthel N ererg ail’s pale, unconscious face
to his astonished gaze.
“ E th el, here senseless! Oh, m y d a rl­
ing, m y d arling!” he m urm ured, as he
lifte d h er in his arm s and bore her to th e
p arlo r sofa. “ W h a t can this m ean ?”
P lacin g her there, he ran to th e foot
o f th e sta irs ami called Mrs. C lum to
h is assistan ce. W ith joy. a t last, they
sa w h e r eyes open; but th e cry of pain
¿h a t followed filled both w ith surprise.
“ My arm ! my arm !” she cried. “ You
h u r t my arm ! I cannot stir my hand or
u n n , and fe a r it is broken. I cam e here
to Khow it to you.”
“ T h en it was h u rt before you le ft the
H a ll? ” retu rn ed the doctor, passing his
ihaiHl over th e useless m em ber, in ordet
to see the n atu re of the injury.
“ In order* to replace it, • lour I m ust
cau se you pain. I t will t>e in poeaible
fo r you to go out again in th is storm ,
th e re fo re Mrs. Clum , m ; housekeeper,
m u st p rep are you a room, and you will
rem ain here to-night. A fte r siio h as made
you com fortable in your bed, f m u st re­
place th e bones, and then you m ust keep
p erfe ctly quiet, or, a fte r all this excite­
m en t, you will be throw n into a fever.”
G iving M rs. Clum several instructions,
h e saw her leave the room to prepare
one for poor E th e l’s reception; then, and
n o t until then, he bent over th e sofa
w h ere she lay, and usked her in a low
voice:
“ W hy did you not tell me this, instead
o f coming out in th e storm , when 1 w as
a t th e H all th is evening?”
“ I did not know you were there, and
could not have seen you if i had known
It. S ir R eginald flew into a furious p as­
sion as soon as he saw me to-day, and
h a d e me in stan tly leave his house. As
tn y arm w as h u rt, I w as obliged to couie
t o you.”
“ M iss N evergail, how was your arm
d islo ca te d ? and w h at m eans the m ark of
th o se finger«, which I see upon th e s u r­
fa c e ? ”
“ Do not nnk me, dqetor, for I cannot
tell you!”
“ W ell, if you ennnot tell me th a t, why
did S ir R eginald bid you leave
his
h o u s e ?”
“ I can n o t tell you!” w as still her only
reply.
“ W a s It fo r any w illful fault you had
com m itted ?
“ No! oh, r»o! I had m et w ith an acci­
d e n t th e n a tu re of w hich l cannot ex­
p lain . In short, I had, w ithout in te n d ­
in g it, neglected a d u ty lie had charged
m e w ith on the day of m y fright by the
railro ad .
My nervousness then caused
m e to forget som ething. l ie had ju st
discovered it and flew in a rage.”
“T h en the b ru te seized your arm and
g av e it this w rench! You need not tell
m e, child, I know it by instinct, i t is
w ell I waa not th ere, for one reason.”
“ W h y ?”
“ I should have »truck him as he lay

th e fu tu re .
Reave everything o f th a t
n a tu re for tim e and Providence to m ake

l i e took her well hand kindly, alm ost
ten d erly , ns lie spoke; and, m eeting his
«iixious, beseeching gaze bent upon her,
«he blm Jird fain tly and gave the req u ir­
ed prom ise.

C laire IJnw ood. She had applied for
the position, and had secured it.
One day I)r. E lfenstein rode over to
the MimptuouH baronial home. H e pass*
ed an hour in the com pany of E thel.
W hen he left his h e a rt was hard and
cold, and she, poor child, w as to rtu red
with the anguish love only can feel.
In fact, E arle had asked for an ex­
planation of her seem ing p art in aiding
dead S ir Reginald to frighten th e simple
natives with the superstitious idea th a t
the tow er w as haunted. E thel rem em ­
bered her solemn prom ise. She dared
not break it. T he doctor grew from bus
picion to d istru st, so a baleful cloud arose
betw een them A bout th ree days after
the burial of the baronet, E th e l N ever­
gail, w ith Lady C laire Lin wood, accom­
panied by a groom sta rte d out for their
usual horseback ride. B oth were skillful
horsewom en, and both w ere e x tra v a g a n t­
ly fond of the saddle. T his m orning they
had resolved to follow a wild looking
path, leading through a deep wood, one
they never had noticed, iu rides p ast the
spot, until the day before.
Suddenly, a fte r an advance of about
h alf a mile, both girls noticed a t once
th a t fo o tstei» had diverged from the
beaten path, and looking to w ard s the
point to which they seem ed directed, they
w'ere astonished to see the opening en­
trance to w hat seemed a lurge cave, over­
hung w ith vines of thick luxuriance.
T hese vines seemed lately to have been
parted.
Reining up th eir horses, they
paused before the spot, in order to su r­
vey it m ore closely, w hen ail distinctly
heard low m oans of pain, issuing from
a point n ear the entrance.
Surm ising a t once th a t some fellow ­
being w as in distress, E th e l requested the
groom to dism ount and investigate th e
place, and im m ediately re tu rn to report
the cause of the ap p a re n t suffering w ith­
in. T he i.ifiu dism ounted as requested
and disappeared from view’, only to re­
tu rn w ith the new s th a t an eccentric
bookseller, who h ad recently m ade his
appearance iu the neighborhood, and who
was know n as the Rev. E dw in C. Stylos,
was very ill in th a t rem ote and hidden
spot. Bidding R oger assist her to the
ground, E th e l a t once hastened to the
side of th e sick m an.
She found him stretch ed upon an old
cot bed in th is dam p and gloomy retrea t,
fa r aw ay from the h a u n ts of men. She
noticed a few articles of fu rn itu re, and
a few utensils for daily use, but saw no
tr ic e of fire or food.
On a rude bed lay stretch ed th e form
of the eccentric being who had been
m uch talk ed of during the p ast few days.
H is cheeks were Hushed w ith fever,
while th e weary m ovem ents of his head
told of intense pain in th a t region. C lasp­
ed in his thin, w hite hands upon his
breast lay a sm all w allet.
Seeing a t once th a t th e poor creatu re
was very low’, perhaps n ear death, E thel
stepped back to the entrance of th e cave
and requested R oger to ride w ith all
epeed to sum m on D r. E lfenstein to his
side. She also requested L ady C laire to
rem ain w ithin call, w'hile she herself
would w atch over the sufferer until aid
should come.
A t once E thel returned to her self-as­
sumed charge, and endeavored to arouse
him from the stupor he wa* in, iu order
to ask of his relatives and home. T he
effort w as vain. A low’, incoherent m u t­
tering, in lyhich the words “b ro th er” and
“save m e,” w ere m ingled, w as all she
could hear.
It seemed a long and w eary while to
the anxious girls, before voices were
heard in the distance. Dr. E lfenstein
was the first to enter the cheerless place,
while tw’o men beside R oger followed,
ready to bear the sufferer in th eir arm s
to a wagon quite a distance down the
rond, beyond the n arro w p athw ay the
girls had pushed over on the bucks of
tbeir gentle horses.
T he doctor paused a m om ent to exam ­
ine the p atien t, but looked very grave as
he did so, and w hispered to E th el:
*‘l think we are too late to save hjm.
H e will live b ut a few hours, as death
is even now upon him . H e m ust be re­
moved, how ever, at once, and as I know’
of no o th er place, I shall take him to my
own house.”
T aking the w allet in his hand to d raw
it aw ay, he found It im possible to do
so, as the de&th clutch of the dying
fingers upon it w as tig h t and still strong;
so leaving it w here it w as on his breast,
the doctor sum m oned the men, who gent­
ly raised the slight form in their arms,
and bore him forth. Siam the poor man
was lying on blankets in d a soft pillow’
upon the floor of an easy wagon, while
the doctor sat by his side, carefully fa n ­
ning aw ay the flies th a t m ight annoy,
and th u s they wended th eir way back
to th eir homes.
A few' hours later, in the com fortable
guest cham ber at the young physician's
home, the poor w ay farer breathed his
last, and ns th e sym pathizing physician
closed his eyes and straig h ten ed his form
he drew aw ay the w allet carefully and
folded the poor, thin hands upon his
breast,
AfteT dispatching a m essenger for an
u n d ertak er h* sum m oned M rs. Clum as
a w itness, and passed to his p riv ate office
in order to exam ine th e m ysterious w al­
let, th a t should, he hoped, reveal th e se­
cret of the w anderer's fam ily and home.
