CHAPTER XIV Continued.
. I had much ado to keep quiet, but I
did matinee to hold my tongue. I had
my eyes fixed on him, however; aa he
again turned to go, his eyes encountered
mine. and. I thought, fell before uiera.
In a moment we heard the door slam
behind him. and Louiee ank sobbing
into a chair. It took all Birley' efforts
and mine to cairn her. I think I must
have become very much engrossed with
my own efforts, for when, at length
Louise sat com poaed and I turned to
Birley, Birley was gone.
"You will not leave me," she said
lavine her hand on mine, "till he
conies back?" .
That touch precipitated feeling in
me, and the confession which I had not
intended I should make for some time
yet. Considering the highly wrought
condition of the nerves of both of us, I
do not think it is surprising that we
should then have opened our hearts to
each other. " " ,
"I wish," I said, "that I need never
leave your side again."
On an impulse of shyness she tried
to withdraw her hand, butl kept it and
she let it stay.
"Louise," I said, "do you know
what that man meant when he accused
me of seeking to marry an heiress?"
1 "Yes," faid she, with hanging head
(the beautiful head), "I think I do.
lie said something of the same to me
at Blackpool."
"And do you think," I urged, 'that
if I told that heiress how I loved her,
how I had loved her and thought of her
from the first moment I had seen her,
before I guessed that she might be an
heiress do you think if I caid that, it
would only be because I expected she
would be rich one day?"
"oh, I do not think that at all!
But," she said, looking up with a
bright, uncertain smile.(which was so
winning! so ravishing!) ' but I am
not an heiress." '
"You guess, then, it is you I would
say this to? that it is you I love and
have ever thought olf
She trembled violently (dear fluttered
heart!) but I still held her hand.
"I did not guess," she murmured.
"until be made me think of it at Black
pool. Then I understood why you had
been so very good to me, and I
"What, Louise? What, dear?"
urprd.
". hen I I think," she faltered,
brpan to Do .not make me say it!"
"To love me little?'-' I asked.
"Do, do say it."
"Yes," she whispered. Her face
wai hid against my shoulder, and my
arms were about her before she added
"but not little very much!"
It was some momenta before either
of us spoke again.
"Do you think," she said at length,
'it is right that we should have said
there things at such a timeT when we
do not yet know anything certain about
njv dear, dear father?
"Louife," I answered, "darling, I
would, you know, save you the .small
est pang of pain. But I think I ought
to say at once, dear, that you must give
up the hope that you have clung to, 1
know, in secret, that you might after
II find your father alive. He does
not live, I am sure now indeed I may
say I as good as know where he lies
buried, though I must not tell you
more at present. All we can hope to
do then, darling, is to give him a de
cent resting place. Then we shall go
away out of this terrible region of
money grubbing, of horrible toiling
and moiling in smoke and steam and
poisonous vapors, where the eye cannot
test upon one single spot of nature un
abused we shall go away to a place
where the people are poorer and milder,
where we may see clear skies and
pure water, and freehand flowers bright
and wholesome. Won t that be a wel
come cnange? and to get away from
the constant talk of 'brass. "
"Oh, yes," Bhe exclaimed "that will
be sweet. Let us go do let us go as
soon as ever all things are settled, and
we have done s'imet' ing for our dear
uncle Birley I We shall do something
for him shall we not?"
We were thus talking when "dear
Unfile Birley" came in. He probably
suppected the understanding we had
come to, but, like kind and discreet
old gentleman as he is, he said nothing
then.
"Wondered where I've been, have
you? Well, lad, I've just walked down
to thy lodgings to tell th' old woman
the may go to bed, for tlipu'rt to stay
here the rest of this night the last
night but one, very likely, that I sha.l
be here myself!"
A tear glistened in his eye, and a
lump rose into his throat; but, after a
momentary paute, he talked on, and
these signs of emotion disappeared.
We coon went to bed, but I think no
one of the three slept much,
fn the course of an intimate talk
with Louise which I had that Sunday
I learned how near I had been to losing
her while she was at Blackpool, where
ber vigilant duenna had been a hard,
faithful old German servant of Stein
hardt's. It was only gradually that I
got to know all the anxie'y, and even
terror, of those days of detention and
surveillance, but that day I heard to
my horror that the poor girl had been
so wrought upon by Steinhardt's repre
sentations of her duty to her father ,
of the heniousness of refusing to fulfil
what (Steinhardt declared) had been
hit frequently expressed wi?h, that she
was on the point of accepting Frank for
a husband, when he and his father were
called away, the one home and the
other to London.
CHAPTER XV.
As I recall the final episodes of my
story so far as they concern the arch
villain Steinhardt, I am so affected
with a shuddering horror that I scarce
write legibly. Yet they have such a
fascination that I am drawn to the de
scription of them, to the risk of omit
ting one or two matters of quieter inter
est, which are yet vital to my story.
These I must dispose of. Wednesday
and Thursday passed away, t,nd the
Friday arrived, w hich to think of even
now makes me tremble. It was a dar
ing experiment we were about to at
tempt, and so very little would make It
ridiculous! I had taken partly to my
confidence the big son of the landlady
(a eUtin.h Lancashire lad ol the old
breed). With him I went through the
slices of my story several times, and
showed him how to manage them with
effect.
The evenii g came and I was almost
inking under excitement. The place
of entertainment was that public ball
in which Freeman hid de'ivered his
famous lecture The kind of thing
rather new in the village, and ihere
was a crowded attendance of work peo
ple, especially of Steinhardt' own.
Steinhardt, with his wife and too, ml
right in front, where the reflwtioon
from the sheet fell full upon him.
W hen the light" were turned, some out
and others low, Freeman and I crept up
behind the sheet, where I w aited with
trembling pulse and sudden creeping
chills till the, to me, uninteresting
part of the entertainment came to an
end. The curate acted as lecturer, and
explained with fluency what the views
meant, or told something about the
places represented. I cannot tell what
it was about. At length hit series of
views and his lecture were finidhed.
There was a moment's pause to me a
wild throb of anxiety and then the bass
voice ot the manager of the lantern
boomed forth the annoucement: "A
Lacashire Mystery." Without another
word the first picture ame upon the
sheet (I crept to its corner to wafch
Steinhardt). It was two men in an
attitude of quarrel, surrounded by col
ored vapors. The second followed
quickly without a word of explanation;
the same two men the one half suffo
cated, struggling to get out of a vat or
bath of vapors, while the other, with
mouth muffled, held him down. Still
no word of explanation. Rapidly
came the third picture the man one
lying dead aud dyed before the other,
and beside an open box. Awf.ul whis
pers began to stir among the spectators,
who were the more impressed no doubt
by the silence amid which the pictures
appeared. I ventured to peep at Stein
hard; he was gazing fixedly, with part
ed lips. The fourth picture culled
forth an instantaneous cry of horror; it
was, perhaps, too realistic. The dead
body lay stripped and quartered before
the living man, who stooped over it. I
fancied that at this sight I heard a low
moan from the front bench, but on
glancing at Steinhardt I saw him sit
ting as before, as if fixed as much by
utter astonishment as by horror. The
next picture rapidly blotted out the
gruesomenet4 of the vther; the portions
of the body lay wrapped in three can
vas packages, and the man stood by as
if pondering. : Quickly came the next;
the man digging near ruined build
ing, with the three packages by him.
"Th' owd spinning mill!" some one
exclaimed aloud ; I had not thought the
resemblance was so recognizable. That
was almost immediately succeeded by
the same view of the mill, with the
packages gone, the hole covered in, and
the man standing as if pulling a rope
which passed over the top of the wall.
"The devil!" exclaimed Steinhardt,
starting suddenly to his feet. But he
recollected himself, and sat down again.
At once the last picture of all flashed
upon the sheet; the wall lay flat on the
ground, and the man stood by with the
loose rope In his band!
Up started Steinhardt, and strode
down the room, amid an ominous
silence, to where the big Dick stood by
his apparatus. -
"W here the devil," I heard him ex
claim, "d d those horrible pictures
come from? They were not among the
lot I bought! Come, nod d nonsense!
You must tell me where you got them.
Who gave them to you?
There was now a wild hubbub of
talk. Dick, I was sure, bad refused to
tell him anything about them. Ia the
midst of this the lights flashed forth
again, and the people began slowly to
disperse, with huBhed but earnest
speech. Freeman and I slipped out by
a side door.
I went straight to Jaques's cottage.
There I found Birley. In low, anxious
voices we began to discuss what would
he (meaning Steinhardt) do now.
Louise wished the had been there, and
Birley had just said it was as well she
had not, when a heavy foot rapidly ap
proached, the latch was noisily raised,
the door was dashed open, and Stein
hard stood before us.
"Soh!" he exclaimed, glaring at Bir
ley and me, "I have found you, sneaks
and cowards! You think with your
fool's tricks and your pictures you will
annoy me, and spoil me! Piff! You
ate nothing! you are beggars !--yon
are dirt! I will have you, Sir Parson,
arrested for making calumnious charges
against me!" How in his fury had he
committed himself!
"Herr Steinhardt," said I, at once,
"the pictures, so far as I "heard, weie
unaccompanied by a single Word of
comment, expt what they drew from
the people, and no one could say that
the figures represented were likenesses.
But your guilty, black heart has charged
you. As it says, I say: "You are the
murderer of your partner, Mr. Lacroix,
and his remains will now be found se
curely locked, whence you can't remove
them, under that fallen wall!"
His jaw dropped, and his great body
trembled for a moment, then as with a
sudden impulse of fury he made as if
he would crunch me with a bearish
hug, when Birley came between us.
"Come, 'Manuel, none of that. As
I told you, you'e not yet done with law
and Lancashire. You'd better go
home, or bo to our experiments."
tool!" he cried, still glaring at me.
"Idiot! What scrap of proof have you
of the ridiculous charge yon make? '
"J'or one thing I have proof that Mr.
Lacroix, before he went to you at the
works, called here to tee his old
uncle."
"Soh! Has the old idiot found bis
tongue at last then?"
We t all amazed, Steinhardt as
much as any, at the electrical effect of
this upon the old man. I had casually
noticed throughout the scene that he
had eagerly though painfully listened
I was smitten with fright, as if I saw a
dead man rise to his feet, when he now
rose at once to his full towering height
a height which I could not have con
ceived he possessed as he reclined hud
dled in his chair and, qnivering with
excitement, strove to give ntterance.
This he could not do, but with light
ning gesture he pointed with out
stretched crm to the door. Steinhardt
stood and stared open-eyed, when he
made as if he would himself compel
him to go. '
"Go, "Manuel; go, man!" urged
Birley, holding the door open.
Steinhardt went without a word, and
the old man fell back in his chair and
was soon rigid in death. '
CHAPTER XVI. -Birley
remained that night at
cottage. When I left to return to
lodgings I was surprised, even for
the
my
the
moment terrified, to see lights across
the stream, hovering about the spot
which I knew was the temporary gruve
of Mr. Lacroix. In the moving lights
I presently saw figures; 1 heard sounds,
to (be sounds of a pickaxe.
"They are breaking into the grave!"
I exclaimed to myself, and resolved I
would go and see.
I hurriedly picked mr way round to
the place. About the fl!en wall the
gigantic tomb-slab of Lacroix, w hich a
brawny pickmaa, Baked to the waist.
was hewing at there stood, in silent,
stolid expectation, a crowd of thirty or
forty men and lads, with two or three
women with shawls over their heads.
Many of the men were in the colored
garb of the chemical works.
"Pick on that spot where you see the
green," I called to the hewer; I had
hastily come to the conclusion that
since I could not hinder the opera
tions I ought to help.
When I aid this they all turned and
looked at me.
"You know snmmat about this, do
not yo', paraon?" asked one.
"Something," said I.
"I'm thinking, Mr; Unwin," said an
old man, whom I recognized as the
father of the man to whose .death bed I
had been summoned months before;
"I'm thinking this that you've shown
tonight in th' pictures is th' same busi
ness as my lad raved about.
So my connection with the pictures
bad been discovered.
In silence the hewer picked the
bricks loose, pausing now and then to
let a comrade throw the debris aside.
Soon a space was cleared, and he began
carefully to pick into and loosen the
soil. A shovel was brought into requi
sition, and the earth and rubbish were
thrown aside? And the old ventil
ating cowi overhead kept grinding
stiffly and slowly about, with painful,
long-drawn moans, as if 'it .were op
pressed with the spirit of the scene.
"I've struck on Bummat!" extlaimed
the hewer, pausing abruptly and speak
ing in a hurried whimper.
Several hands were now tearing at
the soil, and fearfully sounding it.
"I feel clout," whispered one man,
and he began to tug at it.
"Ah," I exclaimed in alarm, "yon
mustn't disturb them not tonight, at
least!" -
"Yea, parson," said the man, "but
we mun. We mun see which on us it
is he's done for like this. There's Jim
Riley gone missing, and Job Kershaw."

the Boston surface cars, and was stand

cars coming on the ether track. A
lady a Boston lady came to the door
of the car, and, as it stopped, started to
move toward the gate, which was hid
den from her by the man standing be
fore it.
"Other side, please, lady," said the
conductor. He was ignored as only
born and bred Boston ian can ignore a
man. The lady took another step to
ward the gate.
"You must got off the other side,"
said the conductor.
"I wish to get off on this side," came
the answer, in tones that congealed the
official into momentary silence. Be
fore he could either explain or expostu
late, Mr. Moody came to his assistance.
"Stand to one side, gentlemen," he
remarked quietly. "The lady wants to

laughed. They looked at him in a re

with some irritation, tartly explained
the point of the joke. They then
laughed, but it was an effort, and Sen
