The voice of music, O I how sweet I
lis mellow tones 1 love most dearly :
Wilt thou thnt lovely song repeat?
1 ask it from tny heart's incerely
It brings back scenes of other days,
Afresh it wukes a eacred meni'ry,
Again 1 honr those fpriyhtly lays,
A sister dear so often sung me
To free the heart from care relieve
Wheu hand in l:aud we roamed at eve.
There also was another voice
1 used to listen to most gladly,
That tnnde my wearied heart rejoice,
If it were gtiev'd, however sadly j
It seems us tho' I bear aguiu
The voice of tlmt sweet maiden singing,
Whose scng my soul deep drunk 60 fuir
fiweet raptures in tny bosom ppringiog :
Those hours of joy nre they now o'er t
And shall 1 hear that voice no more ?
1'ln n sing, loved one, sing oft. ting long,
Sing when the golden bum shines brightly;
King, like the birds, a morning song,
Sing when the guntlo dews fall lightly ;
'Tis music tills the hea-t v.i'.h cheer,
Music thut ii!'ts the cloud of sorrow;
Music thut brings blest spirits Deur,
And ceBiPS ol Heaven's bliss to borrow !
Then sing with glee thy voice e'er raise
lu notes of joy mid hymns of praise.

RETRIBUTION.

WNCI.CSIO.N.
" Ves. sir. tny wife was frighted, fancying
the Saw thieves iu the hedges : she haven't t
run so fast since her joints got still. ben
you stopped us, sir, und asked, I told you u
poor gentleman had just been inurdeied."
Mr. Yoiko looked tit Sijuiro Uipgrave.
"Repeat what you did say to ino," said ho to
th timn.
That ir.7 wife vtas flighted, and we was
mulling hasto homo, for a poor gentleman
hud been found murdered, down yonder, beut
en to death. Them wag tho words, sir, as
near or 1 can remember."
Kxactly," said Jr Yorke.
"Dut dtd you say it was ?r. Janfon,
Crane t" resuined yrpiire Ilipgruvo, looking
ut the man.
"Law no, sir. I couldn't say it, as I have
just tedd you, for "
"ion ilnl sny it was .Mr. Jasson, inter
rupted Mr. Yorke.
"I beg your pardon, sir. I was just n going
to say lust night that report went as it was u
farmer, but you turned short uway in-doors.
und didn't wait to hour mp, and I and my
wife ran home. This morning, when the
milk-woman came, shb told us about Mr.
Jansot), and my wife sat down on u chair
though wo never believed it at first and
burst out a crying: for ho was more like 11
friend to ub than n doctor, a coming up at nil
weathers to her rlieuniutiz, and churging us
next to nothing. I'm sure, sir, I spent; the
truth, when 1 6ny it was not till this morning
we heard ubout poor Mr. Jiuisnn, and thut
there had been a double murder."
"A double murder!" echoed Mr. Y'orke,
his face a mixture of astonishment and per
plexity. "Why, did yoa Cot know it?" said Prjnirft
Uipgrave. "Young Ioulh was shot from his
horse lust evening, and rifled t:f all he had
about him. Tlmt was what Crane wishsd to
tell you of! Jutison was not murdered at
least, not found for hours nfterwards."
"A ud Finch wus right, after ml, when tho
said it was n farmer's son," interrupted (jliWa
Hardistyj "though you" looking at Mr.
Yorke "ridiculed it, aiiZ eaid it was Jun
son." "Yorke, where ttryou lienr about Janson ?"
demanded .Scjiiire Uipgrave. "At the time
you appear to have spoken of it, it was not
known."
There wns a blank, distressing pause ; on
awful puu?t
"Where did yon hoar about Janson, I
ask ?" continued Squire Uipgrave, in a voice
that sounded strangely uncompromising and
clear.
Btill the tamo ominous pause. M rs. Y'orke
struggled for composure, but her breath came
gaspingly through her oshy lips, Henry stole
round to her bide, us if by un uncontrollable
impulse, and Olivia lUrd.tly gazed iu open
dismay nt Mr. Yorke.
"I beard of it from Crarle," said Mr. Y'orke
at length, rousing himself, tit J speuking in c
linn, deliberate tone. "Though it nppsars
to be his purpose to deny it now."
Crane shook his head und turned to Squire
Ilipgruvo. "The gentleman's muking u great
mistuke, ;ir," he fpiietly said. "I never men
tinned Mr. Junsou's name last night, for he
never was iu my thoughts ; and if unybody
had come and told me to guess who wus mur
dered (besides the farmer) I should least oT
all have guessed Mr. Janson. I'm a gcing
hack to t-iy garden, ladies and gentlemen,
and if you plcufle to wunt me aguiu, there I
shall be."
Tho man, with a civil bow, quitted the
room. Squire Uipgrave shook hands and
also departed.
Never had the insignificant village of Offord
been so full of stir, excitement and dread.
Two m irders in oue uigbt 1 it was enough to
put fear into the hearts of all. At first it
was universally ussumod that the same par
ties had beeu guilty of both, but this irrpn-s-siou
woro away. Young Mr. Louth hud evi
dently been molested for the purpose of rob.
berr. Not so Mr. Janson. His watch and
chain, his pocket book and purse, each con
taining money, were ull found upon his per
son, undisturbed carrying out Mr. Yorke't
assertion thut there bad been no robbery.
iiuw uiu ne kiwui ii 1 ueguu ly us vnviu
ttaruisty.
Mr. Janson had a habit of coins' in at the
back door of his bouse, through the garden J
n was ine quicker mode of entrance, siuco kt
ine irotu no Had to ring ; it was surmised
that his assailant must have known of this,
and have got into the eardn and waited for
him. lie was probably knocked down and
stunned, at the moment of entering, and wat
then beaten about the head till he died.
The medical men' were asked with whst sort
of instrument t "Was it likely to be a gun t"
spoke up somebody, while they were delib.
rating the question probably being dictaUd
by tb reosnabrsec of tb shot wbicb had
destroyed the farmer. They replied that
they did think It likely to be a gun, as likely,
or more likely than any other blunt weapon j
but, if so, they added, the gnn had probably
been broken by the Violence of tho blows.
Squire Uipgrave propagated the unsatis
factory dispute between Mr. Y'orke and
Crane tho gnrdener ; and the extraordinary
fact that the murder should have been known
to either of them at that early honr of the
evening, 6truck everybody: upon Mr. 51a
skell, n keen man of the law, it made n strong
impression. Who could have known it, hrurs
before he was found, save those concerned in
the deed t" argued Mr. Mnskell. Very true,
said tho village, but Crano and his wife are
above suspicion, and so of course is Mr
Yorke. This must be sifted, concluded Mr.
Muskell, Bhd J shall take care that all three
are summoned before the coroner.
Kre the doy, l'riduy, wn9 over, the murder
ers of tho farmer were in custody t two men,
cf whose guilt there was not shadow of
doubt. The rpnil taken from Mr. Louth was
found upon them, abd there were other
proofs, which need not be tutored into, binco
that is not the murder with which wc arc
most concerned. l?ut these two men hud
done their deed, and wera already n piiIb or
two on their flight, leaving the v liiige behind
them (us wus proved) at the very hour Mr.
Janson was with Mrs. Yorke. giving positive
proof that they were not concerned in his
deuth. The inquest was fixed for Monday,
tho coroner being unable to bold it sootier,
and poor Mr. Janson lay iu bis own house,
the outside of which presented a scene of
bustle nilit nnd day. inasmuch as it was re
gularly besieged by crowds of the curious,
who Btood there for hours on the stretch, ga
zing nt its closely CurUined windows. To
wards evening, on the Saturday, their perse
veran?o wus gratifyinply rewarded by wit
nessing the arrival of Mr. Junsou's mother,
who had been summotieJ from a distance.
She took up her abode nt the sorrow Tul hotifo,
although several neighboily oilers to receive
her were made, olid the delighted crowd of
8tut:onnry ga?ers was forthwith doubled.
Now the reader cannot fail to peuc'ive
that suspicion by feai fully strong upon Mr.
Yorke. His jealousy cf his wile und Mr.
Jansuu supplied thu motive '. a jealousy for
which theio wns no foundation suve in his
own distorted mind ; and certain attendant
circumstances, known to Mrs. Y'orke, were
fraught with suspicion. 1 1 is staying out that
night, saying he tost his Wny in the fcg, his
stealing up s'.uirs in the daik when he came
home ; nnd the complete changing of his
clothes, nnd worse, worse than all, his prematurely-proclaimed
knowledgo of the murder.
Mrs. Yorke heard of the opinion expressed
by the surgeons, tlmt a gun had probably
been used to inflict the blow?, and she sliiv.
ered as she listeued. Pid her husband bring
home his? isho could not tell. Neither
could she arrive at any satisfactory conclu
sion os to the clothes he wore, whether they
were put away in ct;ncealmtiit. or whether
I hey w ere amongst those hanging openly in
thu'clospt, for Mr. Yorke was an extravagant
man in tho matter of wearing nppnrcl, nnd
possessed several suits lor uut-door f potts.
On tho Sunday morning, though Mr9.
Yorke rose to breukfust, she cXcnsed herself
from going to church. She said she was not
sufficiently well : and perhaps it was no false
plea, for she looked very ill. Mr. Yorke,
however, went, accompanied by Miss Ilur
disly and Henry Yorlte. When they were
gone, Mrs. Yorke entered her bedroom nnd
locked herself in. A desperate determina
tion whs on her face, the index to that which
had Settled on her mind : her dreadful fears,
her uncertainties, were haul to bear, day and
night they were as one living agony : and
now that the house was free from interrtip
tion, she wnuiil search and find, or not find,
proofs. Tho gun. That was the point : hud
liu thrown it away us he came homo that
night stained with his crime, or hud he
brought it home with him nnd concealed it ?
A gun uppcaicd as usual in the customary
place; but was it tho gun he had taken out
with him, or the other one, which ho might
have reached from tho pun case r.r.d put
there? The gun-case was fast, and she had
no means of ascertaining.
There was on old-fashioned piece of furni
ture, hulf bureau, halfchest, in thn bedroom,
black with age, and tery Ion.'. Mr. Yorke
had laughed when this caught his eye oh
their taking possession of the house. "Why,
it's long euongh," paid ho, in ft joking way,
"to put a cofliu in." He hud appropriated it
to himself for his private use, und this was
the plague-spot of dread to Mrs. Yoikoi if
the gun was iu the house concealed, it wui
there.
She had been to the box of tools, nnd by
dint of exertion she rmilrived to bring the
bureau from the wall. Her intention was
to break in the back, satisfy herself, and then
replace the furniture. Knock, knock ! ham
mer, hammer! Two servants were nt heme. ;
the rest at church; Charlotte was in the
uurscry, the cook in the kitchen. Whether
they heard the noise, or. hearing it, what
they might think, Mrs. Yorko did not stop
to inquire ; her resolution was desperate.
She persevered, and at length the wood was
stove in. Not space enough yet, but 'he
soon made it so.
Alas I she did not require a second glance.
On tho very top of all, quite nt the buck, ly
tho gun, broken. How ninny pieces sho did
not count ; she could not have touched them
for tho whole world j they were wet, as if
they bad been soaked in water for the ptir
pose of washing, and thy lay on a suit or
wet shcoting clothes : had be got into a pool
as he came homo that night, to wash away
traces? Probably. Mrs. Yorko staegered
away nnd sat down, pule and sick. lieyond
alt doubt, her husbaud was Kdward Junsou's
murderer.
Again she dragged tip her slinking limbs,
and leaving everything as she fnnnd it, pushed
the btirenu back to its place. The first time
her husband opened it, lie would see the hole,
and detect what she had done. She cared
not : henceforth, there was little that she
would cure for iu life. She took up the heavy
hammer and tho chisel, and was concealing
them under her black silk apron, lest she
should be met going down stairs on her way
to the tool-box, when a quick knock came to
the door right iu front of 'her. It startled
her into a screnm, w hich she could not have
prevented bad her life depended on it.
"I'leuse, ma'am, it's only me," said the
cook's voic. And what Mrs. Y'orke an
swered was a mystery to herself, but the ser
vant rejoined :
"It's a stranger, ma'am, finking to soo you
directly, and wou't take no denial."
With a ghastly face and a frame that
shook from head to foot, Mm. Yoiko opened
one of her drawers, and shut up the hammer
and chisel. 'J hen she unlocked the door, and
the cook stepped inside.
"It's a 8truga lady who wauls to tee Too ;
she why, ma'am, what the matter. Aro't
you well t"
"One of my sick headaches," murmured
Mr. Yorke. "A visitor, did yoa say f 1 un
not well enoogh to lee as; out. Uo and say
"A few minutes conversation only," inter
rupted a strange voice, close at the door ;
and there stood the visitor, who must have
silently followed the servant op-stairs. Her
face, stern and pale, bore tho remains of
sovere beauty ; and Mrs. Yorko giew sick,
as unto denth, with undefined fears, for shu
recognised Mr. Jnuson's mother.
She utterly lost her self-possession. She
did not sny, walk down to the drawing-room,
or. walk in here i she only looked up with
her ghastly I'ucp, tho picture oT terror nnd
misery, Airs. Junson stepped in. nnd closed
the bed-room donr ; .nnd fixed her searching
eyes full npou Mrs. Y01 ke.
"I have come to nsk you Who murdered my
eon."
Mrs. Yorke felt as if her brain was turning.
There stood tils mother, putting thut startling
question, nnd there, at her back, wero the
hidden pieces of the gun ; there, In another
spot, were the hammer uud chisel. Ominous
witnesses, all.
"bid hill hint ?" proceeded Mrs. Jan
son. Mrs! Yorke, in hrr perplexity nnd condi
sion, burst into'toirs. 'T kill him!'1 the
uttered "I set on and heat a man to denth !
it would bo rhyskn'ily impossible. Why do
yo'.l tome here with so cruel a thought V
"Kvcr since I heard the detuils of the crime
yesterday," continued Mrs. Janson, " my
thoughts have never quitted it, not for an ;
hour, for tny eyes lust night r.ete sleepless : :
and 1 hnvo sought in vuin for its motives, j
All tell mo Hint my son hud no enemy here,'
that he was beloved and respected. To ihiy 1
I heard that you were living borr,hnd I said ;
to myself, 'There lies the clue.' Yon could
not kill him yourself, you sny ; perhaps not ; !
but you might get it done. Did you V
Strange to Eay, Mrs. Yorko endured such
words without indignation. Indignation from !
her! when the wicked instrument of h's !
death was hithin a Lw inches ! She answered I
in a tone of humility, of pitiable depression : !
"Yon may sparo yourself such thoughts.
I would have given my own life to save bis." j
It may be that her words struck Mr. Jan- '
son as being the words of truth, for her voice
lust some of its harshness.
"Years ugo you were my son'3 bane ; you I
led him to love you. nnd then left him lor1
another : tvhat wonder, then, umid: t so com- j
plete a dearth cf motive for others commit-I
ting the crime, that tny thoughts should turn I
to you."
"11 1 did marry another, it wan rot that I ;
disliked Votir son," answered Mrs. Yorke, in '
a low tone : "it was that circumstances were j
not favorable to my marrying him. Since we j
met nguin, on Hie occasion ol my coming
here, we have been excellent friends. Mad
am, I beg you to understand me : friendu :
the past waa forgotten by both of 115; it was
never once recalled or alluded toby cither;
your con has attended my child, ond brof.ghl
him through 0 (lntigl rinis illness. Fray put
away these drendful ideas," added Mrs. Yorke,
with emotion ; "your son was thu last person
in the world I would have injured.
"What makes you look so ill?" demanded
Mrs. Janson, abruptly. "It appears like
mental illness, not bodily."
"1 have no obicclioii to tell von that 1
have felt ill tver rince the r.ews of the horri
ble crime tvns brotife.t to our house us 1 (
should do had its victim been any other Mend
And to-cny," she added, with a faint color nt I
her invention, "1 have a sick-headache, which !
kept me lioin church, nnd causes mo to look
as i do now. Helievc me, 1 know no more !
of tho ciimo than jrva did, who was far
awny." j
"Nor your husband i"
"My hm-band !" echoed Mrs. Y'( the, villi
well teinej ustoiii.-hincnt ; "what motive ,
could my husband have in wishing him ill 1
(Juite the contrary : had 1 not chosen him, :
wheu 1 could have chosen Mr. Janson ? Mis. j
Janson," she added, rising, und assuming n I
Courageous, open tone, "you must seaich 1
elsewhere for the guilty putties, not in our ;
house." j
Mrs. Janson probably thought so. She ,
likewise rose.
"Years ago, F.liz.ib th Sherrington I beg ,
yiur pardon ; Mrs. Yorke I told you that:
should your future exi.-tence bo one of retii- j
bution, you had richly earned it. Should it
hnvo been so, or should it ever become so, I
you may remember tny wi.nls." (
Ay, she did remember them, and with an ;
awful shudder. Ihr j'uturi n'.i 101 .'
As the listened to Mrs. Jaii-oii'is leaking i
the house, other fcntfcps were heiin! ascend- ;
ing the stairs, and M ,ss I lutdisly end rid. j
"You!" cxcluiirr;! Mrs. Yorke, glancing J
sideways at the ihuwer which contained the j
hummer, and wishing it was safe iu its place,
"church cannot bu over."
"No. I cams cut before the sermon.
Elizabeth, you look like death. Slay ! let
mo speuk to yon : I came homo to do so. 1
thought of doing so yesterday, but my courage
failed me. What shadow is it thut has fulkn
on tho house ?''
"Shadow ?"' she gripped.
"Ay, shadow. J havo known you from a
child, ond I loved and reverenced M r. Yotke's
mother. For your fake nhd 01 r I have te
6olfc!l tn Bpeuk. As I went into church
Mr. Y'orke was in pdtance, and 1 Lehiud
with Henry some people stood in the
churchyard. They did not know us, we were
strangers, und they continued talking over
the marvel ot ?lr. ioikes knowing t lint the
murder wus committed bel'oie others could
know it for it seems that the neighborhood
trusts Crane, who has been in it ull his l:fe,
in preference to Mr. York. I spoke a few
words to Ifurry, and went or, 111. In the
Commandments, when the clergyman repeat
ed 'Thou shult do no murder,' und I remem
bered next to whom 1 was standing liliza
beth, don't scream : suspicion, above all
things, must nut be courted here, eveu from
your servants. Well, 1 felt as if I cotll nut
remain there by his side, and v. hen the cler
gyman went out to change his suiplice, I !eft,
and canto back to you. Let me say to you
what I havo to 6ay'."
Mrs. Y'orke, only bowed her head. She
could not speak.
Understand, Elizabeth. 1 assume no
one's guilt or innocence, I ask not whut led
to that incuntious revelation of your husband's
the promature kuoledgn of the nmrdei and
the manner of its committal ; I would ruther
uut know. Dut thut avowal must be remedi
ed." "Remedied !" wailt'd tho unhappy lady, in
a tone of despair. "Oh. my children !:l
"There is u remedy, Klizubeth."
How ?"
"I and Henry Yorko must give fuUo testi
money," continued Miss UurdiMy. in slow,
distinct wLisper. "Your hesbuiid ulso , but
to hiiu it will probably bo of uo moment.
Henry, as he came through the village on his
way to n that eight, saw the crowd gathered
round Mr. Janson's house nnd the murder,
as we have beard since, was then discovered.
He must have heard the details J muBt have
mixed with tbe crowd and hearj them ; and
h brought the news (0 us. Do you under
stand, r
I "Ujlhe (EJ oV cried Mrs. YorU, loss
quick of comprehension than Ehe would have
been at a more tranqu il moment.
"No; but he must say he did ; nnd swear
to it, if necessary. I am also prepared to do
so that is, that 1 heard him tell the tale
when he enmn in I am not insensiblo to
tho disgrace and danger lut Its not nlludo to
tho guilt of taking 11 Tulri) oath." added Miss
llutdisty, her voice growing harsh nnd her
brow contracting, "but it may save disgrace,
the most frightful that can bo inflicted on
man, from fulling on M r. Yorke, nnd conse
quently upon yon and your children. We
must have been under 0 mistake, you know.
Mr. Yorke must have confounded the words
spoken by Crano with tho account afterwards
brought by Henry Yorke ; and thus the mis
tuke must be explained awny. Do you not
understand now. Elizabeth ?"
"Yes yes," she replied. ' Oh, Olivia," she
coMimied, with a shudder, "this is a horrible
ufllietio'.i !"
"Do not ppa!t nfittome," hastily inter
rupted Miss llardisfy. "1 know thut you nro
innocent, and 1 would ralher tn t know more.
1 wish I could have Eared you from it, tnote
eH'oct unity tlmn I mil now Hying to Suve you
from its consequences."
"Hut about Henry?'1 whispered ?dis.Yor'?.
"Henry will lie found nil light. Tin- boy's
doubts were excited beluii; mine did you
notice his countenance on Friday, wht-n Crano
and Squire Uipgrave were hole ? lie is even
more alive tn the dread and the danger than
I, nnd this plan was us much his as mine, for
he met me half way in it. Thorn is 110 fear
of Henry, deep feeling and sound sense liu
tinder his random manner. 1 o yo i suggest
this course to your husband, ami tin assured
of us. I'm luiiatcly, fortunately, Mr. Yorke
did not speak while Finch was in the room,
telling ol' Mr. Louth's murder, ond none of
the servants know but what Ileniy Yoike
did bring thu news of Mr. .Janson's."
ClIAPILUYl.
"Do you know you have greatly relieved nil
our maids?" cried Squire 11 ipgrave, linking
bis aim within Mr. Yoike's us they, and two
or three more gentlemen, came forth from tho
inquest. "It was so singular a thing thut
you, or Crane whichever it might have been
should know of tl.e murder, in th.it strange
way, without being abb' to say whence you
heard oT it. lu shoit, I may far i suspicious,
thing."
"Tho fact ii this," said Mr. Yorke, confi
ilentiiiily, "though I did not choose to pro
claim il before the coroner, 1 was half seas
over that night, and had a somewhat confu
sed remembrance of whut passed. Your good
salt beef ut luncheon, squire, made mo drink
l.ku n fish, and not satisfied with thut, I must
make my dinner chiefly on drink, lor my np.
petite, bud gone, but the thirst remained.
When 1 went in, 1 did not. speak of what
Crane and his v. ifu hud told me murder is
not a topic to frighten women with and af
ter dinner 1 diopped asleep. Next came in
Finch with her tale, which us the woman
truly says I heard uud did not contradict,
uud next came in Henry Yorke, with the sto
ry of M r. Janson's murder. What more na
tural tlmn that I in the state 1 was con
founded the one with tho other, and assumed
thut both accounts related to the same?
Thus it happened. And had it not beeu for
Mi.-s llardisty i.nd Henry Y'orke, who, when
yon nnd Crano left on the Friday morning be
gan to think over mutters, und strove to set
in ts rife'ht, 1 should huvu persisted iu tny onn
story forever."
"Well, nny way I nm triad it is cleared up."
"That's mi intelligent youth, that your'.!,' re
lation of yours." cried Mr. Maskell. "lloiv
well lie gave his testimuny to-duy !''
"A superior lad," remuikid Mr. Y'orke.
"Is il quite ceiiafn thut the murderers of
Louth uud poor Janson were not tho same?'1
"Oh, impossible. The villiaiis wero miles
away ut the time Janson was uttacked. A
very disagreeable thing lor M rs. Y'orl.e to
have been obliged to attend !ie inquest but
Voa see, she was the last pi -rs.nl. so far us we
have heurd, that saw Jausou uhve."
"Y'es; no wonder she was nervous. There
is sumo idea ullout of Janson's friends hero
subscribing together, ami offering u reward
lor t ho apprehension of the murderers, is there
noli"' continued Mr. Yoiko.
"We ure talking of it."
"I should wish to be one, and contribute
niy flime," returned Mr. Yoiko. '-The soon
er thu iiuirden is uie di.-coven d the inure sa
tislacloiy il will bu for llvi i.'cih!.'orhood.
Shameful, so to upset u peaceful community,
it has had such uu ullect on my household,
especially on Mrs. Y'oike, that 1 do not think
wo shall remain. 1 tell them that becuuse
two men were killed in one night, it is no
reason lor siipposiu;' hey are going to be ,
bill their fears ure uroilsed, uud 1 cut! niuke
no impression. However, sti p or go, 1 wiil
be one of the lit et to join iu offering u reward
Mr. Muskell, have the goodness to remember
that, and put ine down lor what the rust con
tribute." Mr. Y'oike went home. Mrs. Yoiko, who,
ue the icad'-r I ns gullurcd, wus obliged to
appear at the inquert, bad preceded biin.
She met him us b'oe entered. "Now," said
she, "what is to be your iouro :
"My course !" repeated Mr. Y'oike, wiih a
keen guzu ul her pale, resululu face.
"Spare me from descening into details,"
she coldly rejoined. "It is enoituli that 1
repeat to jon plainly what I only hinted ut
yesterday. Ail is known to ?ne, to Henry,
and to Olivia llardisty, und 1 have seen the
proofs of your crime, your wa.-hed out clothes
uud the broken g'in.;'
A malignant expression rose to his counte
nance. "Who has dared to visit my private
places ?"
"i have," she replied, "I stove in the back
of tho bureau. Let il pass : there is no time
to waste words, lleiicel'oilh 1 nm not your
wife, Mr. Y'oike ; no, nor your friend ; but
your deadly enemy. l!ul for the name my
children bear, I would deliver you up to jus
tice. England cau no longer holJ us both,
aud you must leave it."
"Not at your bidding," returned Mr.
Yurka ; "ut my own pleasure. Il bus lat
terly been a cherished plan of mine to travel
for a while, uf.d I think 1 shall put it in prac
tice." "You will put it iri practice for good. Go
where yoa will, stay where you wi!l, but come
not toViuglar.l You may enjoy tho half of
your propel ty for your li'e, thu remainder
must bo secured to tne. Without my chil
dren I would not touch a stiver of it, but
they must bu properly reared."
"Upon tny word, Mrs. Y'oike ! you carr
things with a high hand. Suppose 1 do not
choose to secure it to you ?"
"You will do it," bhe calmly answered.
"Yon must pnt yourself into my power, and I
nuke my owu term?. You will leave your
home to day, ond proceed to London to muke
the necessary arruugeinents with your solici
tors. In a month's time from thi, it you ore
still in England, 1 will proclaim who wus Ed
ward Jatiboa'a murderer. If you ever set
foot on English soil, should it be twenty yeari
to come, 1 will proclaim il i aod tbi 1 deli-
beratoly swenr. Ton have taken his life, and
you haVo made my Tuture a long course of ab
ject terror, shatno nnd tl'.lfery. you. have en
tailed infamy on ydil children. The rnmo
land tunno'. no'.v contain us uud you. You
cau bid them furewe!l to-duy. before yon
sturt, if you plenso a furnwell to last forever."
Various nmoilons had nriren within Mr.
Yorko : but nniidst them nil was a lively
consciousness that it must be ; not only that
ho had too surely put hirtiself in his wife's
prwer, but for tho sake of his own safety.
The awful fact hail elrendy stamped itself up.
on his brain thut a biuidiror is never safe;
the wings of pursuit seem Hying after him for
ever. Dut for that wretched premature
avowal, suspicion would not have pointed to
uim. "unal niniiness possessed mo io
make it ?" he nsltad himself, gnashing his
I Cruel teeth iu fierce unguish.
Whut indeed? The strange fatality ofself
i betrayal has led to tho doom or many a crim
I inal besides Mr. Y'orke.
i lie kiicm Hint ho uiust henceforth be nn
exile from his land, his home, his wile; nnd his
i children ; the past lay behind him, red und
j il redeemable ; the) future a black darkness.
; I'erspii ntioii broke out I'rum every pure, and
he turned his besceehi:':;, abject ejes on his
I late wifo.
"Fliziibclii havo you no pity fcr me ?"
' ' None," she answered ; "my only feeling
! is, and will he, otiu of resentment and hutted.
1 never loved you ; "take that Willi you for
j yottr comfort : und I believe the reason why 1
j ne'.er vinlil lovo you was, that in my secret
I soul I unconsciously detected the germ of
such a crime in your nutnre. Dull was
, a faithful n:ul g'.io.l wife to you ; 1 strove to
: seem a loving one: I would ever have been
so, ever have ft) striven ; and the mad jeal
otisiy that come over you was utterly anil to
tally nnfounded. When that poor man call
ed here, not many minutes before you killed
him, ho told me ho was about to marry LncJ
Muskell ; judge, thereforo, whether t hero
could havo been a shadow of w-rons fselinir
between us. "Touch mo not!" she, cried,
shrinking from him with loathing, as he would
have taken her hand ; you shull never touch
so much us tny bund ugain. Yours is rod,
sir."
Poor criminal ! His own wife, whom ho
hud sn loved !
"I believe 1 have said nil," continued Mrs.
Y'orke. "If you have not. say it ; for this is
our last interview.
' Tho words sounded to him ns a bittor mock-
ery. He dared to gainsay none of the nr.
ratigetnenls ; lit; ha I put it out of his power
. to no so, anil no migiit not oiler word or to-
ken of uiluction, even though it was their last
farewell. "Send iu tho children to me." was
all he tittered.
Mr. Y'orke left the hoti-n at (lus!t, with t"'e
intention of proceeding to London by the late
train, left to be a fugitive lienceio: Ih on the
face of the earth. Mrs. Y'oi'.te stood nt tho
window in silence, and as he stood in ?ileiice,
and as he disappeared, she sank on n chuir,
ulmost without motion. The excitement
which had buoyed up her resolution through
out the day, deserted her now.
"He is gone forever," she murmured to her
two sharers in the fatal secret. "I pray vou,
let his uame sink into oblivion. Henry, "yon
ure but n boy; ure you sure of yourself?
can yon bury this tvretchad part as effectually
as il it ha:l not been ?''
"Elizabeth," whispered tl.e lad, lending
over her, "if I were not sure of myself, 1 Ue
ver sho'i'd havo undertaken to Pave him. I
would rather say tli.it 1 murdered him than
betray Yorke; for your nnd tho children's
Sake, and our owu good name."
Mrs. Y'oike felt that she might securely
trust him, uud also that her miserable hus
band would not daro to transgress the Condi
tions, or attempt to return to England. Hut
what a future was before her ! for a rankling
fear must ever bo ot work, lacerating her un
easy and remorseful heart, which loo surely
whispered that her onn early vacitv had re
Cfjlely led to this. Oh, Well was Mrs. Jan-i-on
avenged when, years ago. she had al
most prophesied that Elizabeth Sherrington's
l.fe bhould be one of retribution.
