It was that ot a low deep groan, followed by a heavy tall. As ho turned tho door knob there was a muttering of voices and the tread of hasty footsteps within. On entering the apartment a terrible scene met his gaze. The llaronet lay upon the lloor with tho blood llowitiir from a deep wound in tho forehead, llis open eyes and clenched teeth told that it had been almost instantly mortal. Near him on tlio carpel was a short bar ot iron stam ed with the old man's blood. It had evidently been used to pry up tho window which opened upon a low balcony, from whence iho perpetrators ot tho awlul deed had probably entered the room and Killed Sir 1 nomas sleeping m his arm chair. As Talbot slood bewildered and uncer tain how to act he was staitled by a low cry behind lum. I urning (luieuly hobo- held Parthenope ir-'izingal her father witli wide and honmed eyes. "Hois dead," said Luke, hoarsely. 'Thev have killed him with one blow and escaped by the balcony into tho garden. Quick, ring tho bell aud arouse tho house." She tinned toward the bell ropo as if to comply; then paused and looked at him J with a sadden mad gleam in her eye. Luke, sho said, in a whispciylropping tho bell handle and coming close to him, vou were heard to threaten my father to day. You will bo accused of this."

"Tho unhappy young man soon had rea son to beliovo in his own prophecy. The bar had been found in his linuil. Tlio motivo for tho deed was established to the satisfaction of tho most charitably disposed. Tlio wholu melancholy story of ids lovo was mado public, together with his (piuiTol with tho Baronet on tho day of tho murder. Parthenope, whoso tiuaccouutablu malieo had fastened tho most damning Proofs upon him, testified to having heard him threaten to inurder lier father, nnd her evidence was sup poited by others. The uso was ilaiu. His own counsel was so fully convinced of his client's guilt that he barely mado a show of de fense. Talbot had llttlo doubt of tho issue of the tiial, nnd cared still less. If Peail had loved him sho would lmvo believed In him, and he should have had tho courago to nml;o n innnly Rtiuyglo tor his inc. as a wits, death sec.uwl worth living for.

"Itise, my poor sister, and be comforted.' ' 'Comforted,' she said, raising her tear-stained eyes to his, "whero shall I find comfort?" Ho stooped to raiso hor up, aud would have kissed her, but she drew back,with a bright spot in her haggard cheek. "Nol now," sho whisperedi "not till all wrong is righted, Luko." Willi bowed head and tottering step sho left tho cell. Three days later Talbot was taken into couit and formally ac quitted. "Young mmi," said the Judge, with emotion, "your life has been saved at tho expense of a noble woman's. Go to her and thank her for tho saoriuYo ns best you may, for your gratitude and tho world's applause aro as nothing to her." Fearing ho knew not what, Talbot hastened to tho Ulmer mansion. A sur geon's gig was standing before tho door, and a weeping servant admitted him. He was led into a room whero ho saw Parthenone lvinir upon a sofa and beside her holding one of her wan hands, knelt l'earl, her frail form shaking with sobs. Ono glance at tho white faco and hollow eves of tho elder sister told the sorrowful story. "What has happened?" ho exclaimed. "There is blood on her dress." "Sho has received n wound in tho breast," said tlio surgeon, who stood gravely by. "Sho is bovond human aid." "I havo earned my pardon, Luke," murmured Parlhenopo.with a faint smile, "liven you will forgive mo now,as Pearl has, for I havo told her all. Thero was good in mv heart, even if it took an as sassin's knito to find it. 1 know you wero innocent that night, for I saw that tho house had been entered by thieves aud my father murdered by them.

"Now, if you havo forgiven tlio poor girl who has atoned for her lovo and her guilt with her life, kiss her that sho may die in pence." With tears in his eyes, Talbot bent and kissed her. liven witli tho act, with a look of sup.cmo lovo sho breathed out her soul upon his lips.

'Tho show, however, went on, and tho giraffe and tlio trick mule went away and waited for tho manager to bend for them. After many days, curiosity as to what would become ot tho circus gave way to solici tude for tho giraffe and trick mule. A committee being sent out learned that the trick mule had hired out on tho tow path, but that tho giraffe, having never done anything useful, sought em ployment in vain until a village engine company utilized him as a lire escape, in which position ho was able to do for others what ho never could do lor him self let them down easy.
