"Thin man ald that but for yur tuschl nation the mortgage money would have been forthcoming. Oh, Eieonore, thla cannot b tnwl" "I would haw laid down my life to save lVnrhyddyn," he cried. "Oh. dJ not think me auch a wretch a that 1 Hut I feel that he ha woven such a mesh round me that I know not what I may bate done unwittingly. The anonymous letter 1 give you I obtatneJ from him. I now see It was a tnare I taw It the Instant you told me be was Interested In the mortgage; and It wat tbit which threw me into the fit last night. I have been to hla office (hU morning, trying to ee him. I can feel that he has made me a tool in bringing about this ruin: but I do not know how bat, oh, do not think me knowingly guilty!' "I do not," be answered, solemnly. "I must make one more confession. I am the child you -saved from the wreck. Hut I did not know It until 1 heard the atory from your llpss and It waa the awful fatality that waa enshrouding us tbat made me fly from you.

Poor child, why thould I blame you? You hare ben no free agent: you hare been but an In atrument In the hands of a resistless des tiny. When, In John Trevethlck's cot tage, we were plighted to each other, and I pronounced the words, 'Death alone can separate us,' Death waa at our side. A we left the altar, Death was the first object our eyes fell upon: and Death Is about as now In this our last meeting, ltefore I go," be went on, "let me warn you tbat this Wylle has threatened to hare you arrested upon aoaie charge. You bad better at once seek some other abode." "Hare me arrested! for what?" she cried. "Hut you are right, aud I will act upon thla caution; tor there Is no extremity be would not go to take away my liberty." 1 "Seek no rerenge upon blm, for my ake, avoid everything that may lead to -exposure. My lawyer, Mr. llrlggs, will liave Instructions to pay over to you on application such sums aa I can send you out of my earnings abroad; and here are four five pound note." "I shall never go to him for money do not leave me any!" she answered through her sobs, Hut he1 placed the notes upon the table, and once more moved towards the door. "Let me kiss your band," she said, en treat! ngly. He held out bis hand. She took It, Sated upon it for a moment, kissed it passionately, and bedewed It with tears. Even then, spite of all, so powerful was the old love within blm, tbat he could scarcely refrain from raising and pressing her to his heart, In one last wild embrace. Hut he conquered the weakness. Ilia band slides from her clasp one llogering look their eyes meet for the last time on earth and then be is gone, aud she Ilea senseless upon the door! "Freeman," said Eieonore, after ahe bad revived, "I muit not sleep In this lioute to-night. Wylle nas threatened to have me arrested upon some trumped-up charge, and be dare not let me be loose, If be can help it, after what has passed. We must go to our old home until morn ing, and tben tblnk of some better place of concealment. The servants must bo discharged, and this Iioum shut up." Mr. Wylle did take out a warranf, as he bad threatened. The charge being the abduction of Mln Constance Orlerson; the proof produced by blm the very letter which had been written In his office un der bis dictation. Hut the policeman who caiuo to execute It found the bird bad down. CHAPTER XXVII. In a dimly lit bed chamber In a remote district of London, towards the close of m. dark December day, sits a woman at needlework a middle-aged, placid-looking woman. Upon a table near at hand are medicine bottles, cups, glasses and other paraplieruilla of a sick chamber. After a time, there Is a omement within the closely drawn curtains of the bed, and Mrs. Freeman rises ana pui:s mem asiue. "Is tbat you, Freeman?" asks a faint rolce. "Thank heaven, you are conscious once more, Wee-nore I I never mougai i suouui bear you speak la' i "Arthur what of bus?" "He U wppwed t haw UK Use coun B00BBfeS)QJ MacKCNZIE t try. Nothing has been heard ct htm, that 1 can learn, since the day of hla father's funeral," A stilled sob came from the bed. "And that vlla wretch. Wylle, la now the master of l'rn.'hyddyn, whero I had once hoped to bo queen." "If ever a man M himself to the Evil One to obtain all his wishes, that (nan la Wylle l" ld Mrs. Freeuitu, emphatically. "For every one of his vile schemes have turned up trumps." "How about Constance's fortune?" "She has lost every penny of It." "I am glad of that. I am glad that almost the same day that blighted my life blighted hers too!" "Do not be so malicious, Klronore! He sides, you have no reason to be In this case, for Miss Qrierton would have lent Sir I.aunce the money to pay off the mortgage if she bad not been carried oil just at the time. She had arranged It all with some lawyer. Hut as soon as ahe was out of the way, Wylle went to them, and said that Miss Orlerson hsd changed her mind, and the mouey was not to be Mild." "And It was I I who contrived ber abduction who was the means of pre venting this; and he made me the tool to work my own destruction. From whom did you bear nil this?" "From Mr. Stafford. As eoon as Miss Orlerson was released and came home and told h6w your letter had led ber Into the ambuscade, he rushed down to Hromp- ton In a terrible rage, and I happened to be In the bouse." There was a long silence, and then Eieonore said. "I shall sell off my furni tureeverything at Hrompton turn It all Into money and I want you to see to It at once for me." She wna naturally very exhausted after this conversation, and fell, soon after she bad spoken those last words. Into a deep sleep. "Where can the nurse be?" muttered Mrs. Freeman to herself. "She ought to have been back long ago. I must go out before the shops shut, and I shall have to go at once. She seema very sound asleep ; I think I might future to leave her." She had not left tbe room more than ten minutes when Eieonore awoke. All was still, tbe nurse bad not returned, and tbe patient waj alone. The room was very dim and shadowy. Illumined as It was only by a rushlight. She called "Freeman." and when no answer came, she raised herself uponber elbow, and looked round tbe room. Even that effort was too much for her. How strange ber face felt! She put ber hand across It. A thrill shot through her. Was she In a dream, or had ber sense of touch deceived ber? Tbe skin was no longer smooth and soft, but rug ged and uneven. She looked at ber hands; they were reduced to skin and bone; and, by the dim light, she coujd Just perceive some spot upon them. What sickness bad ahe been attacked with? "Ah! great heaveirs, could It be that?" Excitement gave her strength, and she struggled out of bed and staggered to the dressing table. There was no looking glass upon It none to be seen anywhere. Trembling and nerveless, she sank upon a chair. She looked at ber bands again. There was no mistaking tbe marks this time. Ob. for a mirror of some kind, that sin) might know the worst! Tbe toilette gissa mutt be h'dden some where. Holding on to the walla and fur niture, ahe looks about the room. At last she finds It concealed beneath tbe bed. She drags It out, and bets It upon tbe table. With trembling hands, she swings the face of the glass towards ber. One look a shriek of horror an unearthly cry a horror more than human upon her quiv ering face and shuddering from bead to foot, she gaxes upon ber own reflection. Tbe fell disease has concentrated all its ravages in ber face, which Is blotched, seamed, scarred and ploughed by It. It cannot be her face the face that waa the god of her Idolatry tbe face whose fascination no man ever could re slit this hideous thing fills ber soul with terror! She strikes at tbe fearful reflec tion, and the glass falls shltered upon the floor. After this she Is seized vltb delirium; has to be watched night and day, and held down forcibly, to prevent ber dashing her bead against tbe wall, or reiidlng herself with ber nails. There Is one name ever upon her lips Wylle. He Is omnipresent to ber mad nessever standing at tbe foot of tbe bed mocking tier; and then she shrieks, and struggles to sclte upon him, until ex haustion paralyzes ber; but she still mut ters threats as she lies back upon ber pillow. All thla time her life hangs upon a thread. Tbe doctor says that It Is Impos sible for ber to recover. After a while the delirium exhausts Itself, and then she Ilea for upwards of a week In a state of coma. After this she slowly begins to rally; tbe crisis is past. Bhe will live. Hut no shadow of her former self remains. She Is gloomy, morose, seldom speaks, never looks In a glass, seem to be ever brood- 'nc upon some one thing. CnAPTKIl XXVIlL Mr. Wylie bad attained the summit of all bis hopes; be had Inherited bit por tion of Constance's fortune, and he was Lord of Fearbrddyo. Tbe estate bad been put tip to auction; but he gave so short a not lev, and so little publicity, thud there wna scarcely n bidder, nlul ho bought ilt In for himself at hi own price. And Just nt this time the vlrlernoiu were too much occupied with their own dltll cult lot to think of thwarting him. Hefore he bad resided nt the Castle a mouth, there was not a man upon the estate whom he had not made suffer by some act of oppression or petty tyranny. Notice were nerved upon the tenantry that rents would lie mined; laborers and fishermen were expelled from cottages that they and their ancestors had Inhab ited for scores of year. All was con fusion and discontent. IVor old Daniel, from tho time of his expulsion from tho Castle bad gradually broken; but he still conlln.icd to haunt the precincts, and on the very day that It pasted away from the old family, he was found lying dead In the shrubbery most probably he hud fallen down In a fit, and no help being at hand, lud thus ex pired. From bis childhood every thought and feeling had been devoted to the I'enrhyddyns, and he did not survive their downfall, even b yn day. About the end of February, Just liefore the time appointed by .Mr. Wylle for the commencement of his Improvement scheme, a strange female might have been seen loitering about the woods and grounds of lVnrhyddyn, nnd, as often as she could do so unobserved, reoonnolter Ing the Castle upon all sides. It would have been tlifHcult to guess her age by her face. It was so terribly pitted and seam ed. She might have been twenty or for ty, but the glossy black hair, worn In the plain, old-fashlonen oand. and the light, graceful figure, would hare Inclined the observer In favor of her youth more especially as her face was usually covered with n thick black veil. This woman had nrrlred In Ilndmln from London on the sixteenth of Febru ary, and h.id taken up her .piarters at a small Inn on the mid between Ilodmin and lVnrhyddyn. She never rose until midday, and then, having putttken of a substantial breakfast, left the house and did not return until long sfter dark. This went on without Interruption or variation for upwards of a fortnight. One night It was the first of March, and It had been rough and tempestuous through out the day lw did not 'return at the usual hour. The landlady sat up until midnight, and still she did not return. The next morning came mid-day and still no new. Weeks, months, year passed "a nay, but Mis Freeman wa never seen again within the walls of the "Pilchard Inn," and to this day ber mys. terlous dlsapjiearanc Is a subject of con versation over the winter fire; The first of March. At about half past ft on the evening of that day. one of the able door of lVnrhyddyn Castle stood wide open. It was an unusual cir cumstance for any ontward door tc be open sines? Mr. Wylle had bun master, for bringing his cockney suspicions down to that reaiote district, he "feared In ev ery bush a thief," and had vision of area sneaks stealing the skins and mat out of the hail a acutely a though he were living In HWgravIa Instead of Cornwall. It was tbe wind, however, nnd not a servant, who was to blame for the open door. Through this entrance, nfter looking carefully around her. stole the woman of the "Pilchard Inn," nnd 'closed It after her. It was quite dark In tbe long stone passage In whleh she now stood. It wns a disused part of tbe Castle, and there was little fear at present of her encoun l.rlrn mir of the Inhabitants, l'ailslnz every moment to listen, she crrpt along' until sho came to a narrow window, lly the dim light she perceived a little In ad vance of her on her left band a winding staircase; she considered for a moment, and then crept up tbe stone step In the tame noiseless manner aa before. At the bead of these steps was a spa cious corridor, lit, at the end at which the stood, by a large window; there were doors on each aide opening Into dif ferent chambers. After a little consideration and hesita tion, ahe entered a chamber on the right hand. There In the great, old-fashioned armchair, In which abo hajl brooded over the fire scarcely more than three month back, In all her youth and glorious beau ty, she sat herself down, with her scarred and hideous face; her life a wreck, shat tered and hopeless; not to dream of love, but to brood over one awful purpose, for which alone ahe consented to live. The Castle clock struck eleven. That was the hour, ah had ascertained, at which the servants and all, tave Wylle, retired to rest. She lit a dark lantern which she took from about her person. After which she divested herself of bon net and cloak and boots. From large pockets In her cloak she produced, first, a short, thick, heavy looking stick; sec ondly, two small colls of thin but strong cord, a gag, and, lastly, a long, glittering knife. All these various objects she trans ferred to other large pockets about her dress; except the knife, which she stuck In her waist belt. She stole along the corridor, and, at n certain point, branched Into a narrower passage, that led Into the picture gallery, She threw the rays of the lantern upon tlie pictures, until they fell upon the stern beauty of Eieonore de Holisoni. He fore that the paused, and gazed for a moment in deep thought, then again pur sued ber nay with redoubled caution. (To be continued.)
