You thought no more o f them, and years elapsed after oar parting at Spalding before I ever heard anything o f you again. One day w e met in the streets o f Bury. Although years had elapsed, we recognized each other instantly. You expressed great delight at the meeting, which certainly was not feigned, as it gave into your hands the exact tool you required, to fashion one o f the most diabolical schemes that waa ever hatched in hu man braius. But before you dared to propose it to me It was necessary to make me your slave. When you last saw me I waa an nngainly looking, ugly girl; now I was a well-grown woman, with good, looks anongh to have secured several offers of advantageous marriage.

You, with your fiendish canning, divined my secret; professed love for me. Blinded by am bition and vanity. I believed you— be lieved that you, tha fine gentleman, would marry me. But at that time you simply lied, to serve your own purpose. You were very cautious, too—-you bound me down to breathe no word o f yonr secrets to my father.

The portrait I hail seen in hia namesake’s cottage— the likeness to her, forgotten until that moment flashed upon me with the force o f conviction. Oh, how eager ly, how breathlessly, I listened now! “ H ow dare you apeak such words to me in the presence o f a stranger?” he cried. “ Yon are venomous enough to en deavor to establish such a charge agalust me!” “ I believe yon to be capable o f any crime, John Rodweli,” ahe answered, dis dainfully; “ although you would give the preference to that which compromised you lea st” “ Suppose 1 admit that I intend to mar ry her, what then?” he demanded, bold ly. “ You will seek to thwart me?” . “ I keep tfly intentions to myself.

I felt no fear of him, al though I was too agitated to apeak— too overwhelmed by the thoughts o f my worse than powerless position. H e paused; then, with a look o f su preme scorn, he turned upon his heal arid addressed Judith. “ Such an object Is too contemptible to excite anger. However, I presume that for tha future you will restrain in him such toving propensi ties, more especially after ths confidence you hare chosen to impose in him this evening. Now let me understand. Do w e part friends or foes?” “ 1 pledge myself to nothing either way. For years you used me as a root. N ow we hare the reverse o f the medal; you are utterly within my power, and I will use that phwer to miuister solely to my own interest, or caprice, as the case may be, without one thought o f you.

Do not fall into a passion. You have fallen into the trap, and you w ill never get out o f it by beating yourself against the bars!” H e muttered and langhed scornfully, but he waa rouqnered— cowed. H er triumph waa complete. Presently they left the room together. Judith double locking the door behind her. I saw no more o f Judith or Mr. Rod- well. Aa soon as they were gone I crawled back to bed. utterly prostrated both mentally and bodily. Soon after wards the nurse returned, and after giv ing me my medicine, and some beef tea, wrapped herself up in a blanket, and putting the key o f the door cuidei her head, aa waa her cnitom, lay down upon the aefa to take her night's repose. CHAPTER XXV. Hour a ft « : hour I lay tossing about in a sleepless, mental agony. Clara waa undoubtedly in the same bonne with me, exposed to .heaven knowa what sufferings and persecutions; and yet, fo r any hope ef-neeing or anccoring her, I might as well have been hundreds o f miles away. A t last, unable to lie there any longer, I rose and dressed myself. A fire waa still smoldering in the huge grate, and a night light waa burning upon the table. The nuree, by her hard, regular breath ing, seemed to be in a deep sleep, and I moved about cautiously. H er face was turned to tha open side o f the sofa. I crept behind it and inserted my trem bling hand beneath the pillow, feeling farther and further until my fingers touched a hard aubatance— it waa the ward key. L ittle by little 1 drew it away— aha atill sleeping profoundly— fitted it noiselessly in the lock, turned it, and the next moment fonnd myself in a large, dark hall, at the foot o f an im- mensely wide staircase. 1 dosed the door softly behind me. A long window, that stretched upwards from the first landing, admitted suffl- dent light to guide me, and, with a noiseless atep, 1 crept up the stairs. A t the top of the first flight waa a long corridor, on each side o f which, aa far aa I could see, for the farther end was lost in obscurity, was a line o f doors. Now came aay difficulty; the slightest error would not only defeat my present object, hat amalgn me ta.A_alrigtac. veillance than ever, and perhapa bring about Clara’s removal to aome spot to which I could obtain no clue. Suppose, by chance, that I should go to-Judith’s chamber door? I ahuddered at the thought. I stood for some moments at the head o f the corridor, Irresolute what to do, listening eagerly for the slightest sound that might guide me. But the silence waa deathlike. Down the corridor I moved noiselessly. Through the crev ices o f the third door came faint streaks o f light and faint muffled sounds, either moans or a low, monotonous singing— the walla and doors were so thick, that it waa difficult to distinguish which. 1 listened more eagerly, until I fan cied I could distinguish Clara’s voice. I paused fo r a moment, and then, with my heart beating in my throat, tapped gently. Breathieaaly I waited for sev eral Beconda. No answer. Then I tap ped a second time a little louder. A sound o f moving, and theu a soft, trem ulous voice, that thrilled my very soul, asked faintly, "W h o is there?” I could doubt no longer. The key was in the lock outside. I tried it— turn ed it— opened the door— met her whom I sought— heard a low cry o f astonish ment, and my darling waa in my arms. A t that moment I fancied that I heard a Bound like the click o f a lock in the corridor. 1 suddenly turned, disengaged myself from her arms, and looked out. A ll seemed precisely as 1 had left It— no light, no object, no sound; it must have been fancy. I gently drew the key from the outside, and, reversing it, locked the door from within. W e were alone— no one could surprise ua now. T o her eager questions, how had I dis covered her, I scarcely knew what to arawer; for, ths first excitement o f out meeting over, 1 repented that 1 had eret sought it. Gouhl 1 have freed her from her enemies then, and then only, would it have been justifiable? Aa it' was, I was feeding my own hopeless passion, and engaging more an«kuiore closely the affections o f a simple-hearted girl, be neath the very roof that sheltered the implacable woman who claimed as her hushnud. Oh, all this was weak, crim inally weak; and I felt it so. and yet I bad not the courage to end It honestly. A fte r a while I asked her what hap pened upon the fatal night that we lost her— how she came to be separated from ns. She told me that a rush o f people had suddenly impelled her forward, and tliat by the time ahe could turn her head to look round, she fonnd thRt ahe had l>een cniried out o f sight o f Mrs. Wilson. A t that moment a young man, evident ly the »affie who had delivered Montgom- ery’a message to me, touched her uj>on the shoulder, and said that 1 waa wait ing for her in a cab a little way down the street. “ H e waa hurrying me along all the tint« he waa speaking,” she went on; "and I waa too bewildered by my situa tion to offer the slightest’ resistance. There was a long line o f cabs aud car riages; the one he pointed out as ours waa the last o f all. and stood up an un frequented aide street. II# opened the door and pnahed me in; at the same moment a strange man jumped in past me. the door waa slammed, the windows raised, and the horses were off at full speed, before I could recover my breath.” From her description, 1 discovered that this Blau who accompanied her waa Montgomery. ... - *1 am sue# a poor, nerveless crea ture— so utterly destitute o f all pres ence o f mind— that I could only crouch in h corner and sob with terror.” —"* ifte r a drive, which seemed to her excited fancy to endure for hours, they stopped before a tall iron gate, which, after a time, was opened from within. They drove over a long, winding walk, at the end o f which was a large, gloomy looking house, before which the v< 'licit stopped. Then, assisted by Montgomery, she waa suffered to alight. A female servant conducted her to the apartment In which I found her. “ She. waa very kind to me,” Clara went on, “ and assured me over and over P l a n f o r C h ic k s o - H o c again that no harm would be done to A T ex a s wom an in Farm and Ranch me— that I was amoug friends, and whatever I liked to ask for I should describes a chicken house fo r the ben- have. hut that she rould not permit me to ®®t o f any w h o m ay wish a clean, con- leave that room.
