“ 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.

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

•wsy.
“ Oh, I have had end) a terrible

where you promised to make me your

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. I placed you with my niece, who

New Y ork, July 13.— W a ll street was
agitated late yesterday by a rumor that
the Interstate Commerce commission,
which has been investigating the Mar-
riman control of the U n ion and South
ern Pacific, w ill make public its report
within a day or tw o and that it v ill
recommend a separation of the Southern
Pacific and Union Pacific railroads on
the giound that they are com peting
lines and that th eir operation as one
system is against public policy and a
direct violation of the Sherman law.
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.

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.

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. I would not

W hen Orchard
confessed it was stated in a great many
interviews by these and other men con
nected w ith the management of the
Federation that he knew nothing about
the affairs of the organization; that
they had uo knowledge of him , having
m et him , but having no real acquaint
ance with h im . N ow they are obliged
to practically adm it intim ate acquaint
ance running over a long period. Again
and again they adm it the correctness of
Orchard’ s statements respecting collat
eral matters and again and again they
reflect th eir intim ate acquaintance w ith
h im under bis various aliases.
I t was noticeable that H aywood was
far more at ease on the stand than he
was w h ile Moyer was in the chair.
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. The testim ony given by M oyer
was characterized throughout by pur
pose to protect him self.
Again and
again in answ ering questions as to
crim in al plans or acts charged tc him
and others, he qualified bis answeis
w ith a phrase like this:
“ Speaking for m yself, I can say there
was no such know ledge.”
Boise, July 11.— Charles H . Moy<
went on the stand yesterday as a wit-
ness for his fellow defendant, W . I).
H aywood, and besides muk'ing positive
denial o f ail the cnines attributed to
h im and the other Federation leaders
by Harry Orchard, offered an explana
tion of tlie unsolicited appearance of
the Western Federation of M iners as
the defender of Orchard after his arrest
at Caldwell for the murder of Steunen-
berg. l i e swore it was Jack Simkina
who engaged F led M iller at Spokane to

it was at the request of Bimkins that
Moyer and Haywood subsequently ad
vanced $1,500 from the funds o f the
federation to meet the expenses of de
fending Orchard.
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. H e is a
man of good appearance and addrees
and his low pitched voice is of pleasmg
tone. He displayed some nervousness
when he first faced the courtioom and
worked it off on a lead pencil that he
carried, but the exam ination had not
proceeded far before lie eeemed quite at
