RUM MORRISON. lONTINUED.] CHAPTER VII With a sudden, uneasy 4hiver,ltuth Morrison awoke.. She felt chilled and unrefreshed, from not having un dressed and gone to bed. " Dear me, it must be near morn i ng," she thought; "I seem to have slept so long." She got up quickly, and staggered to the window ; was still pit,chy dark— not the faintest gleam from any quar ter oi the heavens—while heavy rain was falling, with a dull monotonous beat, llpon the window-panes. Drear iness inexpressible reigned within and without 4 "It may be morning all the while," said Ruth to-herself, "though it is so dark." She tried, by feeling the hands of her watch, to learn the hour; but she had forgotten to wind it up the previous evening. " What shall I do now ?" she thought. " Bridget might easily oversleep her self such dark mornings as these;" and she recoiled from the idea of daj•light overtaking her again at Oak lands. Were she really the guilty thing that they tried to make , her out, she could not have shrunk more from the notion of meeting, or holding com munication with any one in the house or about the place. To get away in the early dusk, before the family were astir, was her first desire; her second, to write fully to Captain Sinclair, and demand a thorough investigation. Stie remembered, as she stood, du bious and shivering, in the raw bit terness of the nigbt, that a box of matches always lay, for the servants use, behind the clock on the mantle piece, in the dining-room.; "If I can creep down there without being heard, I could light my candle,, and find out the hour." tr , She hastily put on spme more of her garments, and wrapped herself in a cloak that she had left, ready fOr travelifig in, at the foot of the bed. FeeHO on the table for the candle stick, she stole softly out, standing for aolioment; in the lobby to listen if any one was moving, in the house; and all being silent, she passed gent ly on down the stairs The dining room door was not quite closed, but ajar. She found the fire in the grate still burning, and readily lit her can-. die by it, without the aid oflnatches. When she lifted the light to the time piece, she found, to her astonishment, that it was but half-past one. Much disappointed by this discbvery, sbe determined to warm herself here, at all_ events, being dreadfullY cold; and she shut the door, and stirred up the smouldering coals, until they broke out, ,, into a cheerful blaze. When thoroughly heated at the rekindled fire," but feeling altogether sleepless -.J"I have a great mind,"' thought she, "to stay here until the . morning; better than going back now to that cold miserable room above." Accord ingly, she put out the candle, and placed it on a small round table in a little recess near the .fire-place, and lay down upon the sofa, covering her self with the cloak. How long Ruth remained thus, losing coasciousness in the gradual stealing on of sleep, she was scarcely aware. She had neither heard any one Coming into the loom, nor had the smallest idea that she was no longer alone, when she was suddenly roused up by hear.. ing voices close to her. The' sofa on. which Ruth was lying was at one side of the room, not very far from the fire-place; but 'as its upper arm ran into a shallow niche in the wall, and the cloak with jwhich she was covered was dark ih, color;like the halt seating of her resting place, she was effectually screened from obser vation. Looking in the direction from which the voices came, she saw Mrs. Montserrat and Marks close by the fire ;/the former seemed just to have placed a lighted candle upon the chimney-piece, and was standing with her back to Ruth, and between her and the butler. "What kept you ?" inquired Marks; "I thought you'd never come," were the first distinct words that; Ruth caught. ".Why, I fancied I heard a stir," replied the other, "and I. kept still as . s mouse. I feared,", she added, with a low laugh, "that it might be the gourernante ; but I listened at the door before I came down; and she's quiet, ma foi, as a snared rabbit that can't twist aninch." • " There is no doubt, Marguerite, but you did her business cleverly." "Not so cleverly, after all, that I'd like to have ventured on it if le maitre himself had been at our elbow.. But, Joshua, if you had but seen the letter she sent to madame! Fortunately,l got hold of it in time. I cannot tell what that fool might have done;' if it, had come into her hands., She enclosed a note 'from some uncle of hers in it, so I pitched them both into the fire, and sent her back a message of ray own from madame. A great thing TOWANDA, BRADFORD COUNTY, PA., THURSDAY MORNING, APRIL 8, 1880. to have her clear off, out of our way, I can tell you; 1 wouldn't have that one here after to-morrow nlght's work—no, not for a thousiad francs: Demure u she looks, she's deep and dangerOus. Dlessyourself,youjmuore homme, 'that you havent her , scenting you oar; she'd be worse than a deteu• Live." The man shuddered at the last word. ,''Huah for heaven's sake, don't talk of' those folks now," he said. " But, Marguerite, come to business my good • woman ; tell me again exactly what you know of the captain's going's to-morrow." "Why I heard him tell madame that he would be early in the day in Lisburn, at the '-Downshire Arms; that he was then going to the Black Swan—a public house, on the road sumewhere near Hillsborough i• that he had an appointment there, with tenants,l and was to - receive rents; and that he would pick , up the even ing 'mail-car at Banbridge, that 'car ries. the, cross-post along—l don't know where, but it. would drop him, he haid,l as it passed, at Common CroSs. And now mind : ' Let Marks,' he said,' 'or one of the men, meet me there at halt past seven, to bring up my bag' But I don't wish it to be known, Maria, what way I 'am coming didn't laugh in my sleeve at this—' for the country is not overiq l uiet, and I shall haver a large sum of money that.l must bring with me, as I should not be in time to ledge it in the bank." " You have it ail pat, my jewel," returned Marks, "and there never tias anything so lucky: let me see ;" afld he Paned { over the fire, upon the chimney-piece, , as if reflecting upon the information. " Well'!" exclaimed the housekeep er, half-angrily, after a few moments' silence, sure 'Lis all plain sailing now. ,, " res,lrlain as day," said the other looking up. "-I must take care to be the one to meet my brave captain to- morrow night." " Leav,e that to me; but see that you don'tr bungle the business; le maitre has hiewits about him; re member that." • " Oh, the thing is simple enough now ; trust me, I'll not put my foot in it, with such a fair opportunity. Everything turns out just as we could wish it, doesn't it? But, stop a momeint—goodness send he has left the little. persuader where it al ways Bei; in the drawer here ;" and the pair !walked' across - to the large secretary That stood at the opposite side of the room. Marks unlocked it with, it key that he, took from his pocket, and then there was a sound of different drawers being opened. " Ali, here it is ;" and in a second or two the ppalled listner on the sofa heard th peculiar click which told it was a deadly weapon that the man was exarnining.' "Loaded and' all, by jiminil Faith, the fellow little dreamed, wheh he was last loading this, that, as they say, 'he was cut ting a rod for his own back." And a suppressed laugh broke from them both._.„, "But.now,” inquired Mrs. Mont serrat, till i me how you mean to man age. 'Tpa safer to sett'e all here, in the dead of night, with no one to be the wiser, than to be , seen talking to -1 gether when people are about. Don't you think 1 was right to manage it so?" . " To be sure; you're always right, my dear I Well, when we come to gether gether f om the Common Cross, by the Oak Walk, as he always comes, I'll be hind, as is most respectful; there'll e a little bit of a young moon, II; , I suspect, light enough for work, add not too light for mischief ' ; and:when we. -get to the lonesoniest i , bit, whe e the road turns , and the trees ar thickest, just by the lake side, wh , then—and he cocked the 'pistol with a significant gesture. " Non I'll send this down to the bot tom of the water, where it will tell no tales; and then I'll get at the tin, quick a( as a weasel would lick the blood ot . a rat he had throttled , and like home li a shot, when do you be_at hand to slip all the swag away, and then a story is easily made •up of - murder and robbery as we were coming home, and the fellow making off. Do you understand ?" " I do," returned Mrs. Montserrat, speaking' with' deliberation. "That might answer very well ; but we must be prepared for all difficulties. Sup pose' now; that he sends you on be fore him." " Well, if he does, sure . and 'ti& done all the same. 'Tis easy to lie by in the trees there where I say, and to manage it as he comes up." " Yes ; but you might miss him ; or you mightn't do for him, outright; and 'tis only • dead men, mind, that don't tell. And, Joshua, if you only hit him—if you didn't shoot him dead, he'd be an awful man, I tell you, to have the last bout with." " Never you fear," replied the mis creant ; " I'll put the grappling irons in him., Let we get good aim, arid he'll not speak many words after; be sides, 'tis a simple thing to silence him, once he's down. Then, my hearty, our codrse is clear; no one will suspect us. Just as well, though, as you say, that that unsafe looking craft, • the governess, is off the stocks. They'll be offering rewards, and all that sort of foolery. Minis, most 'likely, won't be for staying here. Anyways, you and I, after a decent time, when the hubbub settles down a bit, can be off quietly over the water with the "needful, my dear," (and here he nudged the womanwith his elbow), "to make us snug in our old age." . " We may as well, then," respond ed the housekeeper, drawing a king breath, "just; sweep off what's herd ' now." Then there followed a ransacking of different drawers in Captain . Sin clair's secretary, a rattling of silver and sovereigns, and the rustle of notes, with occasional, remarks and exclamations. During all the preced, lag conference, Ruth remained per fectly motionless, overwhelmed : at this marvellous revelation otvillany, and so absorbed'in the thought of the danger hanging over Captain Sinclair's head that she had not yet even realized what her own position ! 1 1l WA : 1443138 OF . DENI7NCIATION PROX' ANY QUas might be, if she were suddenly dis covered by the two conspirators. It was only as they was dosing the secretaty, and evidently preparing to decamp, that, this "startling thought rushed upon , her. She bad, now and again, east a glance upon them as they stood With their backsto her, both at the fireplace and secretary; but except as she did ilto, she instinctively kept her eyes close shut, as if in sleep; while her very breathing seem ed stilled from the attention that she was constrained to give to every syl- table they spoke. Now one silent, earnest prayer for safety , rose from her throbbing heart, as she felt what she might expect if they found her, with their horrible secret disclosed Already the butler and houseuceper had reached the door ; Mrs. Mont 'sernit had her hand upon the lock, and was still saying something to Marks, but eitheriin so much lower a key, or Ruth's extreme agitation as the moment of peril was passing, deadened her, hearing. Whatever it ivas, she did not 'enieh it until the words: " Restez, Testes': give me the kev," when the'honsekeeper re turnectquiokly across'the room. She had not advanced many steps, when, by her stopping suddenly, dropping the key from her band, and ejaculat ing in a trembling whisper: ; µMon Dieu I" Ruth felt, for she dared not open her eyes; that' the dread discov ery was made. A dead silence, in which seconds seemed expanded into hours, ensued. At last, Marks, while his teeth chattered in the extretne.of alarm,.#sked i "•What is it? For . God's sake; what ails You? There was no , reply; but the tall -figure moved swiftly to the sofa, and Ruth felt the panting breath of her enemy, and knew that the terrible; eyes were glaring upon her like those of a beast a bay. Marks Stole tremb ling to her side. " Mon Dieu la gait verilanle!"' was the quivering ejacula tion. "Is she asleep ?" • inquired the other, and his ashy lips could scarce ly form the words, so great was his fear. " Asleep or awake, it matters not ; whatev4 brought; her here, she sleeps her last tonight ;" and the voice that, sealed her doom sounded in the ears of the unfortunate listener more like the hiss of a serpent than a human utterance. " mo that ;" and she stretched out her d hand for the pistol that Marks - still field. " Are. ydri mad, woman ? A shot in the house at this hour of the night!" ' True—true • you're right. 'Stay, I know *bat will do;" and with the same swift, noiseless motion, so habitual to her, she passed to the sideboard at the _other end of the long apartment, followed by Marks. Ruth cast one despairing glance to wards the door, but saw that escape was hopeless in that quartAr, as the murderers were now directly between her and it, Mrs. Montserrat softly opened a drawer in the' side-board, and, after a brief search, took out a long, sharp-pointed steel kept there, 1 and used for sharpening knives. ' " Listen to me, now," she said in a fierce, commandinc , whisper; turning to Marks ; " wheel give you the sig nal, do you instantly gag her with this," and she handed him a handker chie, " and seize her hands at. the same time; I'll manage the rest." •" Oh, but stop a mowent," remon strated Marks ; " let us not have more bloodshed than we need. God bless me, 'tis horrible; maybe she's asleep." " How can we tell ? Remember, she may know enough by this time to hang us bah. 'See, too, man," she continued'; "better to have her out of the way entirety. If we sink her body to-night in thelake we'll be far off before it comes up again, and they'll think she made off. Besides, I have • more -reasons than . one for wishing her off my road." " I tell you, Marguerite, we had best let her live, if she's asleep ; it's an awful thing' to •bring so 'much blood upon one's self." "Do you want, you fool, to have the rope round your neck ?" answer ed the'woman, with irritation. " Be sides, I'm not asking you to 'do the job ' • I'll do it myself." "Well, just try first if she's asleep, can't you ?" returned the' man ;• and he drew her over towards' the' sofa again. Every sentence spoken, though hardly above the breath, was distinctly audible to the terrified lis tener. Mislay hopeless, passive, an almost' unbreathing form ; an icy horror seemed to, pervade her whole frame; with one despairing effort at self-preservation, she remained un der the semblance of the deepest sleep, and, that was all that she could do; s he' felt it to be her one sole chance. 'They both bent over the all but inanimate figure, watching for the quivering ofan eyelid, or a flush upon the pale c!ieeft, that might indicate the consciousness of their ,presence. "Feel her pulse," whispered. Marks.

Yot still she lay quiet, while now a cold clammy perspiration broke out at ev ery pore i and the lifting of the pree sure 'of the last Our brought back so tumultuous a throbbing to her heart that it became 'well-nigh insup portable. She was just about to rise from , her recumbent position when .again the door opened, and thou& there was no light there was Ole rustling of a tread oil the carpet; and the sound of a hand feeling for some thing on the floor. It - was Mrs. Montserrat, seeking for the dropped' key. , In a few minutes, her search seemed successful; she stood immov able for a brief period, as if to satis fy, herself that the sleeper had not awakened ; and then went out silent ly as she had entered. A considera ble time elapsed- before the poor creature, who had been subjected to fe4ful an ordeal; . dared to move either hand or' foot. Her excited imagination conjured up a thousand terrific phantoms in the silence and the darkness of that room. Again and again she fancied that she'could detect. Mrs. Montsernit's stealthy step returning, or feel her hot breath; or she was convinced she caught the low whispers Xenewed beside the door; at last, raising herself into a sitting posture, and peering into the dense gloom, she slipped off the sofa, and groped her way to the fire-place. There was not now n single spark in the grate, PO she searched in the usual place for the matchert, and lit the candle ; r jt was' ten ;mutes to , three by, the timepiece before her. Glancing once more with's shudder round the room, she -went out into the hall, crouching down like a hunt ed thing that would lice anywhere for shelter. "I must," she thought, "make,, my way back to my own room; but I wish I 'was safe up those 'stairs:" As rapidly as she could, she hurried on, and with difficulty sup pressed the scram that rushed to her lips, as her own' elongated sha doiv fell upon the wall before her at a turn of the stairs. 'After a careful survey of both her own apartments, she locked the outer door, and leay.- lug / the candle . alight, for she could stay no more tn the dark, she threw hertielf again upon the bed, to try and think aver the awful past two honrs,.and consider what course she should take to provide for Captain Sinclair's safety.. A thousand ent. thoughts and plans whirled. through her brain, but one determi; nation was ultimately °fixed upon-, to see Mrs.. Sinclair, at all hazards, before leaving the house, and to tell her exactly what she had heard ; and if this failed in making the necessa ry impression—if she 'were incredu lous tb so astounding a tale,as; with her prejudices and impressions, she very possibly might be—then, to make her way direct, to the captain himself, and , put itimself on his guard. Somewhat calmed when she had thus settled upon a 'definite course, and retaining no• single con cern for hekself or her distracted af fairs, she now lay-On her side, with her eyesfixed upon the window, looking out into the darkness, and' waiting until it was time for her td get up, to see. Mrs. Sinclair, and then toleave that dreadful house forever: CHAPTER VIII. Ruth lay In a dreamy trance of thought, but not asleep, when a knock aroused her. It was a servant, who. called out that it was time to get up. for •that the man with the car Would be round at the door immediately. She found it no easy task to complete her toilet that morning; pins dropped from . her cold and trembling fingers, and in her confusion she could find nothing she wanted. . The unsnuiTed candle had nearly burned to the sock et, and gave but a flaring, uncertain light ; and - her heart beat Xumultu- ously at the thought of the coming interview. with Mrs. Sinclair, and 'ap• prehensive doubts as to its result. u I must try, at all events," sht ex claimed, as she finished her dressing at last; :and issued from her room with her, candle in her hand. She turned rip%the second short flight of stairs, and advanced towards the door of her late employer's bedcham ber ; she was in the act of opening it, when Mrs. Montserrat, gliding from what quarter Ruth knew not, but pressing in between her and the door, confronted her, with the old sneering and defiant smile wreathing her lips. " And what does mademoiselle mean," she asked, in a grating whis per, " by attempting to:distdrb mad ame at such an hour of the ulorning as this ? Madame, who is, 80 poorly, and, in fact, extremely ill, from all she went through yesterday." ' Ruth, though at. first startled and tinstrung, and considerably embar rassed at this unexpected apparition, recovered her seg-possession almost immediately. "I wished, so ,much, Mrs: Mont serrat, to see Mrs.;,Sinclair,", she re plied. " I wrote to her yesterday, and—and I wanted to speak to her about that letter, • for I only got a verbal refusal to it." Ruth felt, as she was speaking, that the eyes of the woman, were literally going thro' and through her ; all she said was at random—the first thing she could think of. ..6 1 #0014" she added, "she eiin might. rel Vwnd allow me to stay on until,os.

"Upon my word 1" ejactilated Mrs. Montserrat,-now eyeing her antagon ist with a suspicious, alarmedtiAnic, ".we'll take care of that;" and driv ing Ruth forcibly aside, she quicidy and softly • turned the, key in the door at which they were standing, and deliberately put it into her. pock et.. " Come, now, if you please, and raise no more disturbances in the house," she added in an angry voice; and putting liar hand rudely upon her shoulder, she compelled Ruth to go down the stairs before..her. Seeing that there - was no use in resistance, and judging it safer, for the Present, not to awaken any sus picion, she yielded -without- further parley , to the housekeeper's violence. On the stairs they met Marks com ing up ; a significant glance passed between the two. "Bring down her things, will you, at once," said .Mrs. Xontaerrat to her accomplice, adding 1 1y: selling. in a whisper that she could no ear. The hall-door was open, rink the car already at it; but it was a strange not was utter- , , jef ,N I_Ns, L __. if F' '\ \ 1 l 1 . 01 t- -tr 4, , s 1 4 driver—Ot Patsey i Bridget ;had promised. While the • housekeeper and Ituth were standing in the pater hall waiting for Mark's return, the former shading the candle frond- the cold blast with her hand, Bridget suddenly burst,open the door leading up from the lower parts of the house, and hastened into the hall with a large bowl of tea and' some bread on a: plate. " There, Miss Morrison !" she exclaimed, indignantly. " She wouldn't let me call you," nodding towards Mrs. Montserrat ; " and she wanted to hinder me seeing you at all;_ but. miss, I have brought you a dhrop of tea and a bit of bread, and, for God's sake, take it before you go out this cold morning; wisha, God , help uS!" exclaimed the poor sym pathizing girl'; and the ready tears began to gather as she looked upon Ruth,. and beheld the scared, white expression of her face„ with the dark circles- under the large and unnatural= looking eyes. Mrs. Montserrat _said nothing, but cast 4,frowning look upon the house maid that spoke more than words, and which the other returned with a scornful toss of her head. "Indeed, Bridget," said Ruth, am greatly obliged to you, but I could not touch bit or sup;" and her sad, hollow voice went to the very heart of the servant. " Take it,-Idiss Morrison,darling," she whispered, "it it's only to spite her ;. 'twill do you good ; anyways, thry the dhrop of tea." She so far yielded as to drink a few drops of the hot rquid, and felt a little warmed and refreshed by- it " Did' you sleep A, bit at all last night ?" asked the htiuiemaid. Ruth knew that tlie woman stand ing" at her side was watching her re ply, for she turned instantly as the question , was put. Wishing to divert from her mind any lurking suspiefon She may have ,had, she answered :• "Oh, I had one good sleep that:re freshed me a great deal, though it was not in bed. I went down.to the dining-room to ascertain the-hour. ; I thought it was late, haviog forgot ten to wind my watch, but I found that it was only a little after one ; the fire was still burning, and I was so cold that I remained below, and fell asleep on the sofa there for 'I don't know how long." ' " Poor thing! God help you!" replied Bridget. Mrs. Montserrat appeared relieved and satisfied by this colloquy, for when she passed out to the door with Marks, as he brought down Ruth's luggage, she whispered to him: "All right ; no fear." They both remained outside, and seemed in earnest confi dence with the driver while the things were being settled on the car. " 'Tisn't Patsey. after all," said Bridget; "that fellow wouldn't let him go." She bad no time for more. Ruth bade her a hearty adieu, when told that all was ready now. Marks and Mrs. Montserrat remained watch ing her from the door, until a turn in, the avenue shut out the cai from view. One long look she east back at .the place that had been, in one sense, her home for more than a year past. How much of discomfort and trial she had borne during those thir teen month,S !—not, however, without some gleams of sunlight, breaking through the:dark clouds of recolke- Lion. Fondly , ishe thought of the little ones, and with grateful' love dwelt upon that last touching fare well Then came the overwhelming, terrifying remembrance of her ,pro tector's dang er, and the rest of the weary, wretched drive to Newry was wholly occupied in deliberation upon what she should now do, l foiled as she had been in her first atitempt at saving him. The current of her thoughts was left free from any dis turbanceby:lier driver—a gruff, surly man, who ,never opened his lips •during the'. drive, ,but occasionally eyed _his eompanion askance across the car from the side he occupied. Of him, however, the poor girl thought little; she was pondering on the best course to pursue, and trying to recall the route she had-overheard. Captain Sinclair was to take. "How 'foolish I was," she thought, "_to say that I wanted to speak to Mrs. Sinclair aboutthe letter, when I remember that wretch said she had intercepted it; sure that alone would have made her keep me out. Reach him I 'must, atone; yet now I can not remember one or two' places they spoke of. Lisburn I recollect distinct ly; he was to be early at the Down shire Arms. But where was he to go from that ? Dear—l don't know what ails me! I can remember noth ing." • At no time conversant . with the names of many northern towns- or places, her brain was completely be wildered.

The car , drew up at the door of the hotel ;. a red haired, un shaved, sleepy-looking wait t er in slip. peril, with a napkin across-his arm, sauntered out. I - - -" Going to atop here, miss?" Yes, for the present," said Ruth;; " at least," , as 'she remembered the driver was behind, probably watching her; " until I . get on to Dublin. Will ,you; have my things brought in ?" " A private sitting-room, miss ?" .again asked the man. " No; I shan't be here long enough to need it," s was the answer.- "Show me anywhere for the present." Accordingly the man conducted her down a dark passage, and opened the door of the coffee-rooni, where she was glad ,to see a cheerful fire the comfort of which she sadly need: ed. As she , stood beside , the fire place, and looked from it through the window Into. the street, she observed her idriier and the waiter in close communication, -*bile her luggage was being got off the car. - " I may as' well," she thought, , ' "give something to that man, uncivill as be semi; he might wellexpect iti this miserable morning." She' put herband into her pocket for her purse; in unutterable conrter nation, she found her pocket, empty —no purse was there. Vainly she searched her garments; nothing of 1. the kiwi had she anywhere about her..l What bad she done with it? She could only recollect that she bad had it the night before, and had reckoned its contents ; beyond that, she could recall nothing about (purse or money. Very probably, in the distracted tur moil she bad beei in, she had left it in her own room; but the unwelcome certainty was before her now / that there she was in that strange inn without u pair)) , 'to pay her way. She sat down, half stupefied from such a , fresh accession to her miseries. "I shall surely go read," she moaned, and then the thought of Captain Sin clair recurred and she started up and drew out her watchto see the hour; it was half-past eight. ' ‘," I have this Watchot all events— the poor captain's,kind gift.;, I eau get something on it, surely, some where ;" and. then she remembered that there was the chain she bought for Ferdinand in her trunk, and' that if she took it back to Mr. Jenkins; he would give, her, she supposed, as, much for it as would enable her to get on to Lisburn. She, stepped out into the hall, and called to the waiter to have her 'trunk brought into the coffee-room. The man - was standing at' the door, still talking to the driver from Oaklands.. Ruth repeated her request, but the- waiter ° only , turned and gave her an insolent stare, and resumed his conversation without any further notice. Boiling with in dignation, she walked.up to him and asked, haughtily : "Do you:mean, sir, to attend to what I have asked you, or must I quit this hotel, and seek for one where I maymeet with common civility ?" What . the .fellow might have re sponded it is hard to say, if he bad not heard a voice calling; of which he ,evidently stood in some awe, " Well, miss," said he, hastily, " what do - you want?"- "I want that trunk brought in here at once," she answered.. ' Without another word she was obeyed. After a search through its; cOntents,, she, found the chanin the vary bottom of the box ; and locking all up again in tangled locking confakj, and wrapping up with a ; bitter sigh the gift she had designe,d for a far other purpoie, she hurriedly left the hotel and repaired tolthe watchmak er's: There was no one but the same boy - in the shop. He said Mr. Jen kins wasn't down yet. , Ruth replied she would wait, as she wanted to see him very particularly ; and after a while, 4gged of the lad to ask if his master, would soon be done. 4He -,re turned with a - -message to say lie was 'coming, yet a full half-hour elapsed' before .he appeared. When he did come, he evidently Was noti in the best of humors; he looked as if he was ; still -half asleep. " Well„miss, What can I do for you ?" he asked, quickly, as' -he' entered the, shop. "You are hither an early customer." Ruth, in a few- hesitating words, explained her request, offering him the chain.- " 0 miss," said the man, looking excessively annoyed, " you mistake ; this is not a pawnbroker'cestablish ment. You'll- find -one in she next street:" . Ruth again explained that she had lost her purse—that it, was a matter of the utmost importance to her' to get to Lisburn at once—that all she wanted or cared for was simply what' would: pay for a car there—and that she'd be sure again gratefully to take back the chain and repay him the loan. • • . The watehMaker, with an angry frown, took, out 'the same old cash bbx Ruth' had seen before from the press, and opening it, reckoned fifteen shillings and handed it to Ruth. " oblie ° v.you with that," be said; " though I must say it is a very strange thing for you to ask it ;" and then, tossing the chain into the box, he locked it. - , Ruth thanked him, and eagerly seizing the money, hurried from the shop without *another word. Once the suggestion - oecurred v as she pur- sued her way back , to the hotel— would, it be better to repair tea mae istrate. if she could find one, and tell him all _that had happened ? Yet then she remembered that the tale of her own suspected guilt would of necessity be, disclosed • and " he'd never believe - me," ;he . thought; " he'd think -I was some fraudulent imposter; everybody suspects me." To get to Lisburn and find Captain Sinclair; seemed to her to be the one and only feasible project. When she returned to,the hotel, aheloundt the still lingering about the. door; she handed him a shilling as she : passed, which he took with scarcely an expression of ,thanks. She dread ed :setting out for Lisburn while he was , yet on the watch, as she had a kind of undefined apprehension' that he was' creature of Marks and Mrs. llontserrat . —was lurking about now at their instigation, and might, in some unknOwu way, deter her from prosecuting her jountenif he knew whither i She was botind. -Time; how ever, was a. - matter of too much int* portsuce just then; andieeling that no more could be wasted Safety, she resolved to risk Ovrything ' • and set out for Lisburn'. as as possible.

The car, too, was' most - uncomfortable in - its -motion, swaying from .side to _side, as the horse got into.a kind of jog -trot, that produced, in the weary, anxious traveler, pain in her side and'uneasy sickness. She sat with her watch in het hand nearly the '- entire way, calling occasionally through_ the small' window to know if he could manage to get on a •little faster ; an en treaty that caused an immediate applica tion of the whip, and perhaps a minute's accelerated motion, but no more. Hour by hour - sped along that - 'strange load, - with more than once a leap of joy to her . heart, when she imagined that some small - town to which they Were- approaching was-Lisburn,ifollowed by depressing dis appointment 1-at learning her 'mistake. Ultimately, Ruth abandoned all hope of- , overtaking Captain Sinclair. " Why. had she not adopted some step in Newry? Ile will be murdered," she exclaimed in ago ny, "and it will be all my fault." Then she tortured her brain to try and remem ber what other places she had heard them say he would be in, - but,she could not re- - collect, and so the time - passed on, until at last the driver called to her through - the.
