Then both urged to tell.ber what had ailed her, ‘Oh, Bertrand 1’ she said, ‘I saw—X thought I saw—l, am ill, Help 4 save me!* - And sbe sank back In a dead, white faint. For weeks she lay and moaned and wandered la delirium, crying that she Had seed" him, crying thdt Marguerite toust be married, crying Botrand to lova her If only a little, And then when, one bright Spring morning, she was allowed to rise onoe more, her reason all restored, a blow fell npon the household, an Irre trievable, fatal blow. ; ' Mr. Bandolph sipping his coffee and perusing his morning paper alternately,. rose< with a ’ fearful ory, a 1 cry such as some wild beast rhlghtutter, grew black In the face, gasped and ,gurgled, throw his hands, aloft and sank back into bis chair and pointing with trembling fidget to the sheet before him', seemed to ask with his wi|d e^es,'for. b.ljj topgue could not frame the sounds, the meaning of the words.before him. , Marguerite, looked up in alarm. i f Holen,i- Mr. Bandolph said, after an other effort; 1 tel! me What this' means; what theidpmands for money which yon never, used, wliat the escapade at night of which I learned too late, what terrible apparition in this bouse.

She turned them over, one, two, three, In the same ignorant, scrawling .hand, those letters which she bad not read because of her sickness.

Her lover Is a South erner, and to him the tinge of dark blood would seem a deadly taint. — Woman !
