D O O M E D . By WILLARD MacKENZIE C H A P T E R X X .— (Continued.) “ Come ' inside the cottage,’* he said, han ding her in. “ No one is here, 1 think. But how came you here?” " I had lost my way; I knocked at the door, but no one answered; then I walked in. with the hope of finding some one to make inquiries o f ; and just at that mo ment I heard your footsteps, and then your voice. Oh, what a blessed sound that was in my ears!” “ You have been wandering about here In the hope of seeing me— of meeting me accidentally? Was it not so?” "Y’ es," she again answered, slowly, a f ter another pause. "B ut where are you staying?” he asked suddenly. “ Are you provided with lodg ing?” , « ' "Oh, yes, at Bodmin; I have been there two days.” "But that is some distance from here. How can you get there to-night? There Is no kind of conveyance to be procured." “ Oh, I can walk. Your father is ill, is he not?” she asked, suddenly. "H e is— that is why I am here.” "W hat would he say did he know of our love? Would he sanction it? Would be receive me as his son’s wife? He would not, and you know i t !” sh«- said, bitterly, and drawing away from him. "H e would think his house disgraced by such a mar riage. But were I a grand lady, and ugly as sin, and stupid as an owl, he would receive me with open arms !” “ Yon wrong my father, dearest— indeed you d o ! Xo man has a higher respect for beauty and intellect than he has,” an swered Arthur, mildly. "Yes, as adjuncts to birth !” she cried, bitterly. “ Oh, why did I ever seek this meeUftig? Why did I not leave you in peo<e, and fly from you and your love? no, no! it shall not be! Help me * " struggle against myself! Drive me from you— let me fly from you ! Do any thing to save yourself from ruin !” Her wild, passionate voice told of the struggle that raged within. She prayed for the self-control she had never prac ticed, and, it would not come. The self- indulgence that from a child had warped her soul rendered her incapable of self- denying. She loved Arthur Penrhydd.vn according to her nature. It was a selfish love, but it was too powerful for her to wrestle with— to trample upon. “ Why is this?” she went on, yet more- wildly. “ Until I met you, I knew noth ing of such struggles; I thought only of my own happiness ; but now, apart from you. I have no happiness— no lif e ! I am like one under a spell. Ah, that is i t ! that is i t ! ” and she shuddered in every limb. . " I t is,” he answered gloomily. “ W e are 4Mch other's fa te ! Struggle as we will, We are in the toils— we must fulfill our d e s t i n y !” I "And you will make me your wife, and I shall one day be Lady Penrhyddyn?” ahr murmured. B "Anything to make you mine; for I cannot exist without you,” he answered, In a low, passionate voice. ■ “ And if poverty comes,” she said, “ we Will brave it together.” P “ Then the die is cast,” he cried, “ and anly death shall part us!” Again that long, low wail of the wind, as he had heard if in the gallery, and again he felt as though a supernatural presence were about him. And this time there mingled with the blast another Bound- a strange, hoarse, rattling noise, and tnen a gasp, as from a human throat. “ What is that?” she whispered, cling ing to him in mortal terror. I t was like the hoarse rattle in the throat of the dying. His hair bristled, and his flesh crept. Something was near them. What was it? Arthur was determined to investigate the cause o f these sounds. He remem bered that he had a box of waxen matches In his packet. He struck one, and by its light saw a lectern with a candle in it standing open upon a table. A puff of wind blew out his lig h t; but he struck another, and succeeded this time in Ignit ing the candle. Nothing was to be seen In the room in which they were. But this opened into the sleeping room. Into which Arthur had never passed but once before: and that was on the night that, as a boy, he had seen a mother and child lying cold and motionless upon the bed. Into this room he now passed— she still clinging to him. A cry of horror burst from her lips, and she fell senseless upon the ground, while Arthur stood transfixed. Huddled npon the bed, his limbs drawn up as if with. pain, his face distorted with the agonies of death, was the old fisherman. John Trevethick. He had been seized with a fit, and died with no one by to help him. Death had been tie* witness of their betrothal, and the death rattle had min s'. ?d with their vows of love— their only ratification. C H A P T E R X X I. Recovering from his first stupor of ter ror. Arthur extinguished the light, and. baking Mrs. Castleton In his arms, bore her out into the open aiT. What was to he done? It was impossible for her to beach Bodmin that night. I f he went in to the Tillage, there were a hundred #inncea to one against his procuring a ►nveyance. But one resource was left •pen to him— a startling one, but inevit able— he must take her to the Castle, He Mould tell the servants that she was a lady to whom, finding It impossible to procure her any conveyance to Bodmin, be had affered the hospitality of the Castle. That •on ld be sufficient. The cold air and the drlxxling rain. Which now began to fall. In a few mom- ants revived her from the swoon. She fcised her head and stared wildly around. ■Whst is this? Where am I?” she cried. “ You are safe, dearest; come away from this place— it is raining, and yon Will get cold.1' And he began to lead her •wsy. “ Oh, I have had end) a terrible Areata !” she murmured. “ I have seen frch aa awful dead facet Waa It a lresm? Ob, no, no! It was in that hut where you promised to make me your wife. What a place for love, with that awful dead face close to us! Death and love— love aud death ! Let there be an end of it. Even from the grave we are warned agaiust our union. Where are you taking me to?” He told her that she must rest in the Castle that night, as it was impossible for h**r to reach Bodmin. “ In the Castle?” she exclaimed. “ Y'es, dearest; one day you shall rest there as its mistress, I hope.” There was nothing hopeful in his tone, however; his voice sounded hollow and dreary. The scene he had just witnessed had sunk deep Into his soul; to him it waa another link forged In the fatal chain that bound him. Doubtless the servant thought it a strange circumstance that Mr. Arthur should so suddely bring a strange lady into the Castle. He requested them to serve her with refreshments, and all that she required, and ordered apartments to be prepared for her In the opposite wing of the building to that in which his own were situated. He would have taken leave of her for the night, with such courteous distance as he would have shown to a stranger; but she was not to be put off thus : and her manner, ns she bade him “ flood night” made the servants stare, and, doubtless, talk when they got below. This done, Arthur directed two of the servants to go down to John Treveth ck's cottage. Mrs. Castleton sat before tn>- fire that blazed cheerily upon the spacious hearth He started back at the sound of her voice with a look of intense surprise, which almost immediately changed to one of angry sternness. “ Is it yon who have sent for me?” tie said, harshly. "W hat do you want with me? Are you not ashamed to look ms in the face?” “ I have sent for you to ask your for giveness.” she answered, humDly, in a soft, pleading voice, and with a piteous, tearful look in her melting eyes. "M y forgiveness can be of no use to you,” he answered. “ Our ways of life are separate—-we can never again be any thing but strangers to each other.” He was turning on his heel to go when she clutched him by the arm and, drop ping upon her knees, held him fast. Her eyes were tilled with tears, and her voice shook with genuine emotion. "D o not go without hearing me," she cried, piteously. ” 1 am not so bad as you imagine. Truly, I have forfeited all claims, not only to your love, but even to your forbearance, by the ungrateful re turn I have made for all your kindness to me.” “ You have,” he interrupted, sternly. “ I f you had been my own child I could not have been fonder of you than I was from the day I found you upon the sands, and carried you home with me. I was a child less, wifeless man— my home was a lone ly one— and 1 thought a bright little prat tler, like you were then, would be a joy and a eomfort to me. The people about here say that the drowning bring a curse upon those who save them. I have found it true.” “ I have been most ungrateful,” she moaned. " I cannot find one word to excuse my conduct— you wore only too good to me.” “ Everybody could see your fallings but me,” he went on in the same tone; “ but I was blinded, infatuated by your syren face and ways, and always had an excuse upon my lips aud in my heart for your willful vanity. And you so twisted your self about my heart that I had not even the courage to set any inquiries on foot about your friends, for fear I should lose you.

At the office of E . H . Ilarrim an the statem ent was made that M r. lia r ii- man had no advance knowledge of the com m ission’s recommendation and had received no intim ation as to when it would be made public. The W a ll street story declared that the commissioners liad unanimously advised the attorney general to begin an action to force U n ion Pacific to d i vest itself of a ll its Southern Pacific stock, of w h ich it holds 900,000 shares. According lo the report, so the story went, the tw o systems are in direct com petition from the M ississippi v alley to the Pacific coast and a rb itra rily fix rates in restraint of trade. The com mission believes, this story continues, that there is am ple law to break up this com bination. I t has been known for several m ontl • that M r. H arrim an expects that some attem pt w ill be made to prevent the Union Pacific from holding the stocks o f com peting lines, and it is said that his lawyers have been at w ork upon a plan to enable the Union Pacific to d i vest its e lf of these securities volun tarily and thereby prevent long and expensive litigation , such as occurred in the N orth ern Securities fight. I t is said that M r. H arrim an ’ s plan is to form a holding company sim ilar to the R ailroad Secur ities com pany, which lie organized sev eral years ago to hold his Illin o is Cen tral stock. The le ga lity of this com pany has never been attacked. JA PA N DOES N O T W A N T W AR. In her sitting room wss Mrs. Freeman, looking very worried and anxious. "Good gracious, child, where have you been? I thought that something bad hap pened to you !" she cried. "Something has happened to me. Some thing that you could never guess. I have passed the night within tne wails of Pennrhyddyn Castle. But I cannot ex plain matters now. I expect an arrival every moment.” Ten minutes afterwards, a waiter an nounced that Mr. Jenkins, the postmas ter at Penrhyddyn, wae below and desired to see Mrs. Castleton. She eat down in the darkest part of the room, and waited his coming, nervous and agitated. He was shown in, the door closed, and then she stepped into the light. “ Father,” the said, "do yon not know Presid en t Boise, Idaho, Harriman Will Voluntarily Sur- render S. P. Stock. A STRANGE REUNION. of her great old-fasliioned bedroom, call ing up visions of future grandeur. At times, the awful dead face thrust Itself in among them, but, with a shiver, she wrenched her thoughts from dwelling upon its hideousness. Once in bed, wear iness overpowered her and she did not awaken until the snn was shining bright ly through the latticed windows. She sprang out of bed nnd looked out upon the glorious landscape of wood and field, hill and dale, and bright blue sea. That invigorating atmosphere, flooded with golden light, quickly dissipated the superstitious fancies of the night. “ Shall I renounce the chance of being the mistress of this for the sake of a mere superstitious fancy? Perhaps I shall not come to him a beggar!” she mused. “ But I will say nothing of my hopes of fortune: and at all events he will be proud of his wife's beauty!” — and she smiled at her image in the glass. After brekfast, a servant brought her a mesage from Arthur, to ask If she could receive him. “ A t once,” was the reply. And five minutes afterwards he was holding her in his arms, nnd anxiously Inquiring how she had rested. “ Oh, excellently!” was her reply. "B ut I fear that you cannot say as much.” He loked very worn and pale, as though he had not slept all night— which, indeed, he had n o t: but he did not tell her so. He would have shown her through the Castle, but d’seretion prompted her to refuse. She did not wish Sir Launce to know anything of her presence there; it might lead to explanations— to a rupture. Better defer such until later. And fur ther to avoid attention, she expressed her resolution to walk to Bodmin; and A r thur arranged to accompany her. They parted about half a mile out of Bodmfn. “ Do not let us be seen together any more,” she said. She had more reasons than one for this caution. “ I shall re turn to London to-morrow. W rite and let me know when you are coming up.” “ That will be as soon as my father is better,” he answered. “ T ill then, adieu, my love— my hus band,” she murmured, falling upon his neck. And so they parted. Mrs. Castleton took her way to the principal hotel. "So la te !” she muttered, looking up at the church clock as she passed. “ I have only half an hour to spare before the time of my appointment.

During the entire exam ination of M oy er, H aywood was nervous, but when the latter took the stand he was more composed and shewed less nervousness than had been displayed by his prede cessor.

M oyer made a self possessed address and at the end of the long day the de fense expressed satisfaction over both his testim ony and the probable im pres sion he made on the jury.
