'lt seems clever to have a pleasant

A s . Davids.tatid 'everything with

Then she sighed again. TW.leet

'And so', she continued, taking out
a pinch of hayherry snuff, 'I am 'l4

'Oh, no I Nothing to mention,'re
turned Mrs. Keene, turning aout
face, bright and cheerful as the full

neither pitied herself nor would allow

enough to hang the pile of wrung out

decidely, going on with her work. •
'Sure on% ?' persisted the Captain.

Captain Dan sighed. thought

So Captain Den moved ott ,with

had gone far it suddenly brightened.

he to himself. 'Like enough not. I
way very careful not to commit my

Ile smiled as he reflected on his Judi

continued, '1 might as well finish up

for she has to live around, as it were

Captain Ben's feet quickened them
selvei at these thoughts; anti had al
most overtaken his head when be
hold! ata sudden turn in the road
there stood Miss Rachel Doolittie,
picking barbeiries front u wayside
bush.'My sakes! If she ain't right
here, like * Rachel in UM bible!' ejacu
lated Captain Ben, taking heart at
the omen.
Miss MAittie looked up front un
der her tied down brown hat in sur
prise at such a salutation. But her
surprise was increased by Captain
lien's next remark.
It just moo into my mind,' said
be, 'that you was the right one to
take Liddy's place. You two used to
be such great knitumi that it will
seem most like having Liddy buck
again.' No' he continued after a lit
tle reflection, 'I don't know of any
body I had rather see sitting ht Lyd
dy's chair. and wearing Lyddy'a
things.than yourself.'
'dear me, Captain Lundy, I could
not think of it. Paul's folk's expect
me to Stay with them Whilethe boar

'Ain't that 4 hard life you are lay

'l'm able to take tore of myself as

lint afraid my • brothers will see mo

Miss Doolittle, her cheeks flaming
up like sumac in October. •
'But hadn't you better take a little
time to think it over? Ma'be it
'cone sudden to you,', pleaded Cap
tain
'No, I thank you. Sonic things-do
not need thinking over,' answered
Miss Doolittle, plucking at ; the bar-.
berries more diligently than ever.
'I wish Lyddy was here. She
would convince you, you are stand
ing in your own ight," returned
Lyddy's widower in a preplexed
hate.
4 1 don't need one to come from the
thud to show me my own mind,' re
torted Miss Doolittle firmly.
'Well; like enough you are right,'
said Captain lien , mildly, putting
few stems of barberries In her pail ;
nelait't would't be best. I don't want
to•bo rash.
And with that he moved oft', on the
whole congratulating himself that he
hutl not decided to marry Miss Doo
little.
'I thought, after she commenced
her miserable gift of the glib, that
Lyddy used to be free to admit she
had a fiery tongue, for all they were
such friends. And all peace

But, fortunately, his not being a
sin of commission, it could easily be
rectified; and directly Captain lien
had turned about ant was trotting
again toward the 1 house, on the
beach.

building a tiro that wouldn't burn.
Then, forgetting the simple matter of
dampers the potatoes wouldn't bake.
The tea kettle boiled over and crack-

And last of all, the cake-Jar and pie

thold aune in to make a payment. I
knew his silky, smooth voice before
I saw his face, with its shining eyes
and gleaming white teeth. Involun
tarily,! stayed . where I was, and
watched him through the glass par
tition that separated the room in
which I was from the frobt ollico.
As he passed the money to my un
cle, his sharp whiteteeth shone in a
smile that seemed more like a sneer,
and he received his two pelletal back,
with their now endorsements, with
an almost audible chuckle.
I had been'pretty, sure that Itose
and he were In the City, but I had
never met them, though I never saw
a woman that in ,the least resembled
my lost darling without thinking of
my lost darling, and I never attended
any public assembly without &alining
the throng for tub dark bright beauty
of the girl that had jilted me.
After I had seen ligrthold in the
Insurance office,bl watched more dil
igently than. before, anti frequented
more than formerly such places of
public resort as I imagined Rose and
her husband might attend.
Ono morning hurrying up Broad
way, I had a glimpse of what looked
to me like Rose's sylph, like shape
entering a picture gallery. Instantly
I darted after her up stairs..
It was indeed she, loOking a little
scared at first at the sight of me, but
blooming into something more than
oven the old vivacity under the reas
suring warmth of my manner. She
was more beautiful than ever, and I
was truly glad to sae Upend check
glowing with such fresh carnation
tints, to behold the elearsunnygleum
of her liquid eyes.
Till I met her so,. I had scarcely
.realized that I had entertained any
forelxxdiag thoughtsin her connection.
Unconsciously I had pictured her to
myself as pale and fading . But this
mature, with her tropical bloom and
laughing eyes, mocked such visions
sorely. She was evidently happy. I
must have wronged Berthold in those
in which, though I had not acknowl
edged it to myself, I had attribtfted
to 'din .the possibility of unkindness
or injustice in any way to tho woman
he. had_ beguiled from me.
As we parted, and Bose gave me
her little hand, she named her address
and invited me cordially to cull. I
took• the address, but I said that I
should not be likely to call. She col
ored slightly at my words, but did
not urge me. Probably she felt that
it might not be pleasant for her hus
band and myself to meet,
Less than a week after this meeting,
having business in that part of the
town,l deviated some; what from
my irect route, for the sake of pass
ing by where Rose lived. I met her
huskind half a dozen doorsaway,and
not seeing him soon enough to avoid
passing him, kept tranquilly on my
way. His eye did pot light on me
till we were close upon each other, as
he strode along with his look upon
the pavement, his lips set in thesame
sueenng.smile I had noticed in the
ihsurauce office.
At the sight of me the smile froze,
his face turned to a chalky white,and
he stood a single helpless infant, the
incarnation of the blankest terror I
ever beheld. It was but a secondo
He rallied so swiftly, and shot , past
me with a courtly lift of his hat, that
I. half doubtisl. that I had seen any
unusual expreSsion on his face.. •
"Glancing buck involuntarily, Ber
thold had vanished, but I imagined
I could see the glitter of his white
teeth beyond some thick foliage which
draped a yard near by.
"lie is watching to see if I will go
in," thought I, and I hurried. past
without once glancing at the house.
flow 1 hated the false pride that made
, me do so, afterward.
Early in the following week, upon
entering the office in the morning,'l
wits startled by the announcement
from my uncle's lips, that Rose Ber
thold was dead.; 1 reeled as though
he had struck me, and leaned heavi
ly upon my desk.
"How do you know?" I asked.
My uncle knit his brow.
"Her husband has been here. Ile
wants the amount of her policy. Ile
Is in a hurry, I take it."
"When was it?"
"A week ago, to day. Heart dis
eaSe. 'lt's all right, of course. lie
has the proper certificate; two phy
sicians that I know r and one that
never heard of. But somehow I 12111
not make it Seem so."
Instantly. It flashed over me, the
remembrance of Berthold's singular
change of countenance when 1 had
nlet him Just a week before. Well
might the man's face blanch, and his
- eyes start with terror, thinking! was
going to his house, perhaps. It all
seemed very plain to me at that mo
ment. . _
"Uncle," said I, "Rose Berthold
was murdered. I saw•her not two
weeks ago, and she was as well as I
um at this moment."
'Bait) Berthold ? You don't know
her,".exclaned my uncle.
"Yes I do," and then I told him all,
even to my meeting • Carl ;Berthold
that morning, when, if I should have
'glanced towards his house, I should
have doubtless beheld some signs bf
death's awful present* within there,
and might, perhaps, have been surer
of eircumventingthis villain.
• My uncle was enough of my opin
ion to decide to have the matter lA.-
vestlgated. Nothingeame from that
investigation, however. If my poor
Rose had died unfairly, there was not
the slightest discoverable proof of the
WE: Tberewas nothing wore Wire
dope then_ ; but I was not satisfied.
At the bettOmof mybeart lurked yet
the belief that t Berthold was a
Murde6r. Ho receiVid his ten thew
and dollars, and reftifor parts un
known:
Fivoye-cus after, theComptiny with
whom .1 remained and had risen in &-
vol., sent mo to England on business
of.impertanee.
Upon the same steamer` with my.
self was Cad Bertboki. I knew him
atone, though he did not recognise
me. I had cbanged more than ho
had. My hair had grown darker
and I had n dewy beard. My pulse
took a quicker throb at sight of him,
and stW 'quicker atsight of the beau
tlM creature who leaned confidingly
upon his arm; evidently a bride of
short standing. - sh° was dressed
richly, and wore on her white fingers
several rings -which must have , been
of great value. I noticed, too, that
the tiny watch at hirbeit, and which
fronftime to timeete glance:l at, was
set with . biiiiiants'of the,first' water,
if one could judge by their glitter.
"He has secured an heiress this
time," I thcaight.. "He will scarcely
need rarort•to insurance."
I was in London several months,
and occasionally saw Carl Berthold
With hisbeautiful Wife. One night
my hotel' took fire and was so much
damakeir that I had to go to another, .
when I discovered that I was not
only in the same building but occu
pying the next 'mom to Carl Ber
thold. I thought it singular turn
of circumstances tosay the least, the
more so that that very night there
was a sudden dealtt-In the hotel, nay
old rival's lovely wife. I could not ,
help wondering if her life had; been
Insured.
.•
The physicians summoned to con
suit
concerning tins anise of her death
did not pronounce it heart disease,
but avowedtheuraelves puzzled. One
of the*, who had appeared more in
terested In the ease, I sought, under
the influenceof an irresistible impulse
and in; confidence - told him of that
other sudden death of a wife of Carl
Berthold's. wasgreatly intered
ed, and, to cut flie matter short, a
repetition of the medical examination
resulted In the discovery that Mrs.
Marl Berthold had come to her death
by the insertion of some exceedingly
delicate steel instrirment,at that point
where the spinal asrd Joins the brain.
The cruel, fatal weapon -was found,
upon search, in her husband's possea
sten. It was a spring hmeet of needle
like fineness and sharpness.
It was not difficult to imagine how
this fiend in human form might in
the very act of care:zing his beautiful
victim( have sprung his deadly toy
dpon that vital part. The wound was
so minute, and concealed by the
drooping hair, that it would easily
escape 1 obsevation.,
: •
Ire confessed to deleting three other
similar tragedies before ho was hung.
My lixt Bose was.the victim of one
of - them. • I felt that she was In a
manner' avenged, when the wretch
know that I had borne some, though
so small a part in his detection.
