Florence struggled on, nt limes only
stvtd from being swept nw.ty by her
stronger companion. Her strength was
fast ebbing away - rj again desert

old pier met her eyes. She uindo n

Nothing will over persuade Bridget
that Miss Florence is not tho greatest

tonwho li.ul liteti engaged to my
brother and ulyselr, After Iho funeral
I f rojeedod to the plico wluro the ii.iv-del-had
been committed to see uln-thcr
I could not find another clito. I found
one tiling wniuh I thought nilgth prove
.something. It was a piece of cloth of
bright color nnd lantastio print, which
hu.l been bound aroiiid a finger.
A week alltrr the funeral I found my
self ut Nellie Button's house as a visitor.
I Ibero was introduced to n stranger by
tho name or Iiiranj Sbtfllrld. I had not
been there long when I saw ho was ns
piring to Iho baud of Nellie. Ha seemed
to fefl reappointed when sho did not
seem merry, lor it showed that sho cired
more lor Alfred Ijiwreuce. my brother,
thau he wished.
".Miss Burton seems to liavo cared a
Kreat deal for your brother, Mr. Law
rence," siid he to me once wheu Nellie
had left the room.
There wns n scarcely precepliblo sneer
in his voice thut. sluug my heart to the
core.
When I went home I wac invited by
Mr. Sjtlfield to roll upou hlni. The
next ilny found meat theresideuorof the
Sbefflel.ls.
I was shown into the parlor nnd told
that Hiram wonld ho down soon. Pres
ently it little girl of U n camo iu.
"Hiram said he'd bj down rlRbt
nwny, she said, ns she Rented herself
on n low chair. She then opened ft
small basket nud poured the contents
iuto her lap. Tuey were only rags,
probably used for her doll.
"They're to dress my doll," she said
proudly. Suddenly it piece of cloth
among her collections caught my eye.
"Will you let mo see Ibis?" I naked, as
I took it.
Oh. yes," she nnswered, 'Hiram
lore n piece off fur his Uuger. It was
bleeding, and he didu'l cry it bit,''
Forlnuately I had the scrap which I
bad picked up iu tbe woods with me. I
took it out nnd held it to tbe other pit ce.
Ii fitted ex icily, slid the print was just
the same. I handed her back the piece
nud prtsentlv Hiram came iu. I kept
up Hppearauca sb well ns I could, nus
wering hi qnistious in mouusyllables,
but asking uoue myself,
Duriug Ihe interview I observed bis
right band very carefully, nnd at oue
time, when be put his hand to bis mouth
the little finger was shown plainly, 1
was sure of my man theu. The little
linger on the left baud was terribly
scarred and seemed like a mass of bruis
ed flesh.
I left Mr. Sheffield and Immediately
proceeded to Mr. Btutou's residence nnd
asked for Nellie, From her I ascertain
ed the fjllowiiig lactst Mr. Slittlield had
eouie in our vdligu u leu- mouth In-1 nto
nud bad olleii isltod tbe Burtons. Just
bilore the murder be bad proposed lo
Nellie and she had toll bun that she
was engaged lo Alfred. He hud stujed

now ho ng.lu camereuularly.
Mr. Hiram ShefUcId wus arrested. At
his trial I g.iye my evnleuoa nbd ho was

told that he h id committed suioi-lo I fait

Nellie Burton now is my wife. Her
devotion to my brother won my luve,
aud tthen, a few years nltcrward, nhe
acknowledged that sho loved me almost
as well ns my dead brother; I was Balls-
fled.
