CHAITER VIII.
The Sabbath in Mr. Newtoq’s house­
hold was always a pleasant and peaceful
day of rest. All secular thoughts and
avocations were, as tnuch as potaible, set
aside, and after the u«iial attendance at
the house of God the remainder of the
day was divested of useless solemnity or
formality by profitable reading or cheer­
ful conversation.
As usual, Grenville was with them at
dinner, and so far recovered liis natural
and pleasant deportment that Rose's
heart rested again in happy confidence
and serenity.
Dinner waited some time ami was nt
last served and over before Dunbar made
liis appearance- a circumstance so un­
usual that it had given rise to some anx­
iety on his account, and Lillian's was not
diminished when she met him in the hall.
“What is the matter, dear IJustace?”
“Do not be alarmed, my darling. I
will not keep you in suspense. I am
pained for poor Le Barron's wretched
family, but 1 will explain when we are
all together. It is a story I do not care
to repeat but once.”
After a hasty greeting from the family
he said:
■Early this morning our friend Austin
called to inform me of tlie troubles at Le
Barron's. You all know that the brag­
gart adventurer De Courtney lias for
Home months had liis eve on Le Barron's
apparent riches under the guise of ad­
miration for their eldest daughter. I
knew that Esrella and her mother were
greatly smitten with him, and Maud was
pining with envy. The more cautious
and suspicious father had written to Some
merchant abroad requesting reliable tes­
timonials respecting tiiis prince in ms-
guise liefore lie would yield to the hasty
consummation of the marriage, for which
the ardent lover was so urgent. It seeins
that when the poor father had confessed
the ruin ami degradation that were clos­
ing upon them, and Estella had borne
her part in the first outburst of wild
passion that assailed him, her shrewd
mind conceived a plan for her own wfe-
ty, which, with consummate heartless­
ness, she at once proceeded to execute.
“Silently retiring from the wordy war­
fare, she wrote a hasty note to De Court­
ney asking him to meet her at a restau­
rant near by, sent it by her French maid,
deep in all her secrets, and silently made
her exit from a side room to the rendez­
vous. She safely calculated that in tlie
tumult her absence wotfld not lie ob­
served. In that unhappy family you are
aware that Belf is the dominant power,
and Estella well knew that when the
fierceness of the storm then raging had
passed it would be succeeded by tears
and hysterical lamentations that would
claim the attendance of all the servants,
thus leaving her to consummate her self­
ish arrangements unmolested.
“What passed between her and De
Courtney can only be conjectured by tlie
results and a letter left behind for the
mother. It would seem that Bhe returned
to the house as secretly as she had left it,
directed her maid to collect all her val­
uables and pack her wardrobe, while she
proceeded to secure what money or jew­
elry she could find in her mother's or sis­
ter’s rooms and departed with lier spoils,
attended by her French waiting maid.
Quite early this morning, as Austin was
passing Roseville, Maud, apparently in
great excitement, called to him from the
library window. He entered, and giving
him but a brief statement of the last
night’s revelations uml proceedings she
begged him to find me and urge me to
come to her immediately.
“Austin gave me all the particulars he
could learn from Maud’s hasty and fren­
zied recital, but when I wished to stop
here for advice and if possible to get Mr.
Newton to accompany me on this deli­
cate mission he objected, saving she had
especially desired that nothing should be
said to the Newtons. I therefore pro­
ceeded at once to Roseville. Strange
sounds startled me when I entered the
dreary house, but Maud, who was wait­
ing in the hall, evidently on the alert to
firevent t lih servants from, seeing me,
lurried me into nn office distant from
the ]>arlors. It disgust« me to think of
her inhuman, selfish ways. But it may
!>« that she did not realize the terrible
tragedy enacting around her."
“Don’t linger," cried Rose. “This
suspense is dreadful.”
“I will be as brief as possible. It
seems no thought had been given to Es­
telle's absence during the night, but
Maud in tho morning had ordered her
attendant to bring some ornament or ar­
ticle from her wardrobe, which could
not lie found. On examining further her
jewelry ami most of her choice ;>osses-
sions were missing. Then lier maid
hinted that Miss Le Barron had been
‘going on strangely’ »•<’• day before, and
all the servants remarked it, lint the
madam had l>een so bad they hail liaduo
time to give it attention. But now would
Miss Maud please go into her sister’s
room and see for herself and not lie say­
ing disparaging things to a poor waiting
maid? I judge front tlie accent of both
mistress and maid that Maud, becoming
furious at the spoiling of her go.sis, had
visited her wrath on the one nearest to
her. On entering her sister's chamber it
was vacant, the wardrobe and bureaus
empty, and on the table lay an o|>ennote
to her mother of the most insolent and
heartless character.
“She said that, seeing inevitable ruin
coming upon the family, and having no
disposition to share it with them, she had
at once sought her dear Victor, and not
wishing to reveal their misfortunes had
simply informed him that her father had
lieremptorily forbidden her to hold any
further copimunication with him, ss he
pretended he had received advices from
abroad to liis discredit, which she did not
believe, bnt this cruel father's coniniands
compelled her to Mly farewell.
“ 'Of course.' the unfeeling girl con
tinued. I knew dear Victor would not
listen to that idea for a moment, but. as
I exited. Iieggcl for an immediate
marriage that very hour, before I re-
tnrtied to my parents. When I was once
his own, I could quietly collect all my
jewelry and wardrobe, and we would
leave at once, making our bridal tour a
pleasant voyage to his native land. He
was sure father would soon recall us
when he found resistance was of no
avail. Of course «he could not refuse so
elegant a lover. They were married
within the honr, and as this haste gave
her no time for a bridal trousseau befit-

The family had listene,! to Eustaces

liient, but Mr. Newton now exclaimed:
“Why, this is far beyond the most un­
scrupulous selfishness I ever imagined
could be found iu one so young.”
“Ah, hut Maud will far outmatch her,
I fear. I once thought her more gentle
and amiable than her sister. But the
bitter hate ami vindictiveness she mani­
fests are fearful. The loss to herself and
the impossibility of reclaiming was all
she seemed to think of. Her father’s
danger and her mother's uncertain con­
dition hardly excited an emotion. As
sqon as Austin and I could interrupt
Maud's excited recital of her own mis­
fortunes I alluded to the strange sounds
I heard on entering.
“ ‘Kqa'w! tpat's nothing,’ said Maud,
‘mother lias kept the house in an uproar
all night. 1 kept myself out of the way,
I assure you, and left father to take care
of her as best he might. He deserves it
h 11 and more for bringing this great
shat^e upon us.'

of qeVWge, I assure you. »She’ll find tnat
I, tW, can keep my own counsel as well
as Sklja.‘
“ ‘Oh, Maud! This is shameful! I will
at least seek your parents and try to help
theip.*
‘Well, go. Don Quixote, and succor
the distressed. Success attend you. I
hope you will enjoy it.’
“1 threw open the door, and again those
dismal sounds! I paused a moment,
when a wild, unearthly shriek rang
through the house. I caught Maud’s
hahd.
•‘ ‘Go with me.’
“ ‘I will not.’
“’Unnatural child! You shall! There
is some strange mystery here, and you
shall accompany us while we unravel it.
Come, Austin.’ Our determined man­
ner and probably a fear of being left be­
hind compelled her to go, but reluc­
tantly, and we passed through the splen­
did parlors into the gloomy family sitting
room.’’
He paused a moment and covered his
face with his bands, while his audience
sat with pale faces, dreading the sequel.
“A fearful sight met our eyes,” he
continued, ‘ Would I could forget it!
Mrs. Le Barron sat in a large easy chair
in the most fearful paroxysms. The old
butler and gardener and t ivo women, one
of whom, 1 think, was her dressing inaid
and the other perhaps the cook, were
standing over her. All looked chilled
and exhausted. The window shutters
remained unopened, and the gas was still
burning. When we came near, we saw
that she was tied to the chair.
“ ‘Indeed, sir, we could not help it.
She was furious and has been most of
the night. And that was the only way
we could manage her and be safe our­
selves.’
“ ’Have yon called a physician?’
“ ‘No: we can’t leave her. and we can’t
make any of the other servants hear if
we called ever so loud.’
“ ‘Stupid! Why not. have rung the
bell till some one would hear?'
a
“ ‘We think, sir,’ said the gardener,
with some hesitation, ‘that there's no one
to hear in the house. “Rats leave a sink­
ing ship,’’ and this one’s going down
mighty fast, I judge, and then, begging
your honor’s pardon, we feel feat some
’bout going to the bell. There’s some­
thing strangelike 'bout master, and lie’s
close to the bell.’ Austin and I sprang
to the recessed corner so dimly lighted.
Oh. Mr. Newton. I have, cowardlike,
left the worst to the last! Tn his chair,
his head resting on the marble pillar, was
Le Barron”-----
“Not dead!” exclaimed Mr. Newton,
his face bianching with horror—“and,
oh, do not say by his own hand!’’
“No—I hope—I think not—Austin was
the first to rise above the terrible shock
and left at once for the nearest medical
aid. I could learn nothing from the
poor frightened and exhausted servants,
but as near as I could gather from the
time the miserable man entered his
house yesterday it had been the scene of
the most disgraceful and sickening tu­
mult. Till late in the evening most of
the servants had been in Stella’s em­
ploy, and I imagine, from hints dropped
from the gardener, what was passing in
the family room was a matter of sur­
mise.
“After Estella’» departure as the serv­
ants were closing the house the sounds
that had alarmed me aroused their at­
tention. When they entered, the mis­
tress was raving through the room like
one possessed. the women said. They
were frightened and ran to call in the
two men. When they returned, her hus­
band. without rising from the chair, was
feebly trying to calm her as she stood
raging over him. They secured her with
great difficulty and some danger, I ap­
prehend, for many articles once objects
of pride tn her lay broken and scattered
all around as if she had furiously thrown
them. It took them some time to con­
trol her. and for safety they were com­
pelled to bind her.
“When they next thought of poor Le
Barron, lie wae just as I found him. Tn
the meantime I had opened the shutters
and extinguished the gas, but (he sun­
light made the horrors more apparent.
Leaving the frantic woman to the serv­
ants. I examined her husband, but could
find no trace of violence save a bruise on
his brow by Rome article thrown—made,
I fear, by his wife when the servants
seized her. But Dr. Shelby, whom Aus­
tin soon brought, says it was probably
not severe enough to have caused his
death. Dr. Shelby has I teen his medical
adviser for some months past, and he
thinks his anxiety, exaggerated by the
fearful storm that burst upon him when
he told his pecuniary troubles. hastened
his death from disease of the heart.
“Austin remained to make all needful
arrangement« for the inquest, and as
soon as I could be simrrd I hastened to
yon, for I think yon and Mrs. Newton
are greatly needed there now.”
“We will go with yon immediately.”
‘ Can I be of service in any way?”
asked George.
“I will thank yon to order me one of
the carriage*. I did not intend to nee
father of them again, bnt this is a work
of necessity.”
