The next expre front I'ad diagton was at midnight, aad it wa tinted ta arrive at the nearest station la I'ottevea that the snap showed a by twelve-thirty tbe following moralag. Iiat that rfltage ttelf was distant by road a good fifteen mile from tbe station. Wkh Corakh hill we thoald be tacky if we arrired there by three ta the after noon. The postal guide informed a that oar letter of warning would be deliv ered aboat twelve o'clock next day. A telegram for there wa no wire to rolie reN would scarcely arrive earlier. Tbere wa nothing more to be done. It was, indeed, shortly before three o'eioek that oar carriage groaned and screeched ka way down tbe steep deteent into I'ollevea village. At the inn we soon discovered toe direction of Dr. Weaton' cottage, and, taking the adriee of the landlord a to tbe roogbne of the track thkber, we left oar carriage and tartod off oa foot. After a UK dtatb of tbree-HHr of a mile between rag ged eart rata running with water from the winter spring, we emerged into a little glen, sparsely wooded. At the further end, built on the hiieber ground, we caught a momentary glimpse of a buildlag which we took to be tbe plaae Me sought From our right, low, boom ing reverberation told of distant break ers on a rock-bound eoast. It wa I who 8rt saw her, a glunpte of white auiougt tbe bare skeleton of tbe stunted tree. Then at the turn of tbe path we met her. Unr faee was pale a line linen, her eye fixed aud glayt her arm with her eiettakei! bauds rigid by her side. Hhe might bare been the ghost of some great lady wbo had died by cruel wrong. Ko' blindly did she walk that I beliere she would bare paMed us if (IradoB had not sprung forward anil barred her way. Hhe woke as a sleep-walker wakes, with a shuddering surprise. "Who are youV" she asked faintly. If she bad not grasped tbe braueh of a tree, I think she would bare fallen. "Are you a relation of Dr. Weston's?" asked Grodon rery softly and 'kindly. "Hi daughter." "And you go'r" "To kill myself. Ob, nol'jjthe burst out a she sprang forward. "It Is 'no good! You cannot help me.

Which way did this man run J" She told her story a.uiek!y. After b bad left a and gained tbe cliff turf above the glen, she glanced tack. To bar sur prise, she caught a gllmpe of him stand ing amongot the tree on the appetite slope. Her delay had arooted hi u moon, aad be had followed her. She walked elowlr forward and. a we bad directed, moved uneasily about on tbe verge of the precipice, rreeeatly she again glanced orer her shoulder. He had now rrvMed the glen and wa standing In the open watching her. The dis tance between them wa aboat two hun dred yard.
