Jtui after the death of the fl w?r,
AnJ before they are buried la anew,
There comes a festival saaf ja.
When nature la all alow
AkIoW with a mystical splendor
That rivals the brightness ol Spring
Azlow with a leauty more tender
Than anglit which fair summer could brlna;.
Some spirit akin to the rainbow
Thesi borrows Its magical dye..
And manuls the far sprca.lii.f lan !.-nie
In hues that bewi'.J.r t'.ie eyes.
The Sau, from hiseloud pilU wel c'.sml.er.
Smiles oft on a virion so gar;
And dreams that his favorite fU'.irn,
The flowers, have not yet pes- J away.
There's a luminous ieM on the in.nintnlns.
A lijcht, aiure haze In the air.
As if anirels, while heavenward s-'arlnir.
Had left their brigM robes fl iatiu there :
The brecxe is so soft, so carre slnr.
It sterns a mute token of love.
Ail 1 float? to the heart likea bleIni;
From s-mie happy spirit ah.r.'.
Tli.e days are si-rae and si c! anniujf.
Awakes a dreamy delight
A tremulous, dreamy enjoymmt.
Like solt strains of mu?ie at nllit ;
We know thcyare fading and fleeting.
That quickly, too jni'.-kly, they'll eud.
And we watch them with yeaniins; alfi-ctlon,
As at psrtlni; we watiha dear friend.
Oh, beautiful Indian Summer!
Thou farorite child of the year.
Thou darling, whom Nature enrii-he
With irifts and adornments so dear:
How fain wnuld we Woe tl.e t,. linger
On mountain and meadow awhile.
For our hearts, like the sweet hatiuts of Nature,
Kejulce end jtow yonng In thy fmlle,
Ni t alone to the s.id flehlf of Au'.umu
Iot thou a lost brightness ret. re.
Hut thou brinuest a wurld wcary jdrit
Sweet dreams of Its spirit once more.
Thy loveliness fill? us with uieinoriis
O.'all that was brightest an.l Set
Thy peace an 1 security otler
A f'.retnrte of hf-avenly rf t.

little erv.
It was onlv Dick Harrrave. Dick
was her uncle Will" factotum
valet, fri'tmm, hutler, all in or.e.
There he stood, as if he had been
waiting to intercept her a jrreat.
iiuiaMujr leilow, with
slouched low over his
eve?.
"What do yon want ?"
a trifle ebarpiy.
He did not meet her gaze, but
looked away rather sullenly, k'ekinir
the j ebbles right and left out of the
path with his clumsy boot.
"I bad something to Fay to tou,
.Miss L'sta," he muttered. "''Perhaps
you will not care to listen?"
"Certainly I will listen," she made
answer, wondering a little at her
words and manner. ' But you must
not detain me long."
He pent a sudden, steel-like glance
flashing over her face, and said :
"You know very well what a true,
faithful friend I am to you, Miss Ktta.
I couhi not hide it if I would.
She interrupted him.
"Yes, yes," she ?aid impatiently,
though a faint suspician of what he
was ct sent a blaze of anger into her
eyes. "I am ready to take all that
for grauted. Now, what do vou
want of me ?"
Her curtuess abashed Lim not a
little. He colored, hesitated, fumbled
in his bosom, and Cnallv broutrht out
a c rumpled fragment of paper.
"I found this under the hou.-e-door
when I opened it this morning," he
said, holding it out to her. "It look
like a letter. At any rate, there's
writing on the paper. I feared it
niigui mean Ponietning. l wish you
would read it, miss, and find out."
She looked hard at the greased
morel of paper, and then back to
him. but she did not take it.
"Why don't you read it yourself,
Hick, if there is no address?" she
asked.
"I can't miss," dropping his head,
as if arhamed. "I never learned to
read writing."
"Humph ! that in strange."
And so it was. He seemed to be
a fellow of more than ordinary intel
ligence for one of his class. His lan
guage was generally good. It seem
ed odd, to say the h ast, that he had
not learned to read and write.
He may have seen the doubt and
wonder expressed in Ksta's face.
"Won't you read what is written
here, miss just to satisfy uie ?"
"Whv den't vou take it to Uncle
Will ?"'
"To be laughed at ? No I can't do
that."
He looked hurt, and begau slowly
to fold the letter if letter it was.
Then Esta held out her hand for it.
She felt very much puzzled at his
. i.i : i , .,
niruiiru urnanor ; nui, gureiy mere

"Give it to me Hick.".
She took it, and spread it open in
her hand. There was no address, but
after reading the first line or two she
saw it was intended for her Uncle
Will.
It was written in a scrawling,
wretched hand, some portions of it
being scarcely legible. But after a
little Ptudy, she succeeded in making
out these words :

away from him somewhat abruptly,
and fled back to the houso, quite for

"Uncle Will must see thi.a letter,"
he thought. It mav mean a great

She had reason enough to be ap
prehensive. Her Uncle Will had
been paid three thousand dollars the
previous day. The money was, in

Ilolmwood was situated at a short

and there were no men about the
premises fare Uncle Will himself

and Phil Meredith.
Now, one word about Phil. He
had been less than a week at Holm
wood on this occasion. He was Es
ta's lover, and thev were to be mar
ried in a fortnight.
It is now clear enough why Esta
felt apprehensive, and why Dick
Hargrave's bold admiration distress
ed her. j
She ran directly to her uucle's
study. Phil happened to be there,
sitting with the invalid. Ia a few
words she told them all about the
letter.
They read aud reread the strange
missive. Mr. Brandt could not un
derstand it.
There's something below the sur
face here," he said, shaking his head
and looking wise. "The writer of
that note is not as generous hearted
as lm would make us believe. I can't
remember ever having done a rogue
a kindness. I know it could not
have been intended."
"Perhaps he wore his sheep's cloth
ing at the time." laughed Phil.
Esta's spirits were at a low ebb.
"What will vou do ?" she asked
anxiously. "You don't know but the
warning was well intendod. It
would not be safe to disregard it."
"Xo," said Mr. Brandt. "I shall

In the warm, rich glow of the Sum
mer day, Phil Meredith was ridiug
toward Woltham with Brand'ts mon
ey hid away in his belt.
It was ten miles to the
wild, lonelv road with one long
stretch of wood where the shadows
always lay dark and deep.
Perhaps he had the start of Esta
by fifteen minutes. But he rode rap
idly. The banks were closed at four.
Besides, he was anxious to get back
to Ilolmwood ns ouieklv as possible,
He reached the hmclv stretch of
wood. It shut him in. For all the
sun lay in the heavain above like a
great red ball, dark, cool shadows fill
ed the silent wood.
The bushes grew close to the road
on cither hand, almost meeting above
it. Suddenly a sharp, rustling, crash
ing sound in the underbrush, and a
man leaped into the narrow road, and
caught the bridle-rein in a vice-like
Phil drew back in sharp recoil.
He sent a single sweeping glance
over at his horse's head. It was a
big bnrly fellow whose entire face
was hidden under a mask of black
crape.
Phil's purpose was taken in an
instant. He tore a pistol from his
pocket, and aimed straight at the vil
lain's heart.
"Stand aside," he thundered, "or
I'll put a bullet through your carcas."
"Try it," screamed the man, with
a loud, sneering laugh.
Phil's finger was on the triger.
He hesitated an instant, as if to give
the mocking devil a last chance.
Then the hammer fell into its place.
There was a sharp, crackling sound,
! but no explosion.
He knew the truth in an instant
his pistol had ln-en tampered with.
The man laughed louder than be

This was all. It was enough in all

her.' he i.Ja! with terror as she read on to the end.
The letter fell from her trembling
fingers.
Dick stooped to restore it.
"What is it miss ?" he said, staring
hard at her. "Was I right?"
She nodded, not trusting herself to
speak. After a brief struggle she
cried out.
"Thank you, thank you Dick, for
bringing that paper to nie ! You
have Baved us all a great trouble and
sorrow.'.
With a wistful light in his dark
eyes, he returned.
"I'd lay down rnr life for you, Miss
Esta."
There was no mistake in his pas
sionate glance. He was treading on
E
such an errand."
"Would in not be well," urged Es
ta, "for Phil to bring two or three of
the police from Waltham to sleep in
the house to night?"
Mr. Brandt nodded.
"It shall be done, my dear "
Tin n. after a moment's puzzled
thou: ht, he added :
"h is very strange how the rogues
learned that money was in the house.
I don't understand it."
Ph i turned away muttering:
"Bah ! It's no surprise to me.
Dick told them. bad a dozen
means of knowing. I wouldn't trust
that fellow as far as I could see him."
"You are prejudiced," said Mr.
Brandt, looking anoyed. Dick has
been with me nearly six months, and
I've never had just cause to complain
of him."
"It's a little singular, though
The manner in which he found tbe
letter. Why didn't he bring it to you
in the fir.-t palce ?"
Nobody could give a good a sufli
cient reason. Esta repeated the one
Dick himself had offered, but it went
a very little way in convincing any
body. Still, as it was not manifest in
what way Dick expected to be bene
fitted by the letter they could not
charge him with knowing more tf it
than he pretended.
Esta had drawn near the open
w indow ere the close of the interview
jut recorded. Was it imagination.
or did she really hear the soft rustling
of the grass under a retreating foot
steps ?
She looked out quickly just as a
dark figure darted around tbe corner
of the house. Who had been listen
ing under the window Dick Har
grave ?
She said nothing of what she had
seen ; but thought all the more be
cause of her silence.
When Phil was ready to set out on
his journey to Waltham later in the
day, with the money safely buckled
in his belt, she brought him a pistol
with her own hands.
"Take this," she said, looking up
at him, very pale and trembling a
little. "1 ou know what may occur.
If the rogues are on the watch, they
are sure to suspect your errand."
"Bah !" laughed the handsome fel
low stooping to kiss her. "I have
no need of the pretty plaything.
Besides, my own trusty barkers lie
here next my heart."
He slapped his hand over his breast
and Esta heard the clear ring of
steel.
"You are sure thev are loaded ?"
"Yes. I looked to them last night.
I was target-shootin?, you remem
ber." He vaulted into the saddle and
rode away. Looking after him with
dim eyes, Esta suddenly thought of
theweapon she had brought for him.
It lay in the chair by her side. I
Some impulse caused her to pick it
up, and examine it more carefully.
It was capped, aud looked all right.
She drove tbe ramrod home. It rang
against the bottom of the barrel !
Somebody has withdrawn the
charge !
The discovery frightened her. A
nameless dread sent tbe blood from
her hear. Scarcely knowing what
she did, she rushed down-stairs to the
housekeeper's room.
"Where's Dick ?" she cried.
Mrs. Bramble didn't know.
"He must have been gone fully an
hour," she said. "Perhaps he was a
squirrel-hunting at any ra'.e, she
bad seen him cleaning his pistols
that morning."
Esta grew coW as death. But she
said nothing more. With her own
hand she rammed home a charge in
the pistol she carried. Her mind was
. ai a
iuii 01 ihe horror 01 a strange suspi-.
cion.
"God grant I may be mistaken,"
she thought. "It would kill me if
anything were to happen to Phil."
Tying a straw hat under her chin,
she rushed to the stable. The horses
were all there save twrj the one
Phil had ridden and another.
Ot course Dick had sakec that oth
er. Esta seemed gifted with sudden
strength. She flung the saddle into
its place, and led out her dappled
mare.

he guve a long, long, gasping sigh,
and kuew no more.
It was Esta who tore up the road
like mad the next instont. She took
the terrible scene at a glance. Phil
lay white and helpless in the dust,
and a masked villian was bending
over him, his murderous fingers at
his throat.
She dropped from the saddle, and
ran forward.
''Good God !" she screamed, "Dick
Ilargrave have you killed him."
1 ho villain turned. Jie sent one
dashing glance all over her ghastly
face. A knife gleamed suddenly in
his hand.
"You know me," he hissed. "Xo
matter you have come too late to
save your lover."
He said this with his hand shak
ing wildly in the air. Another in
stant, and the knife would have de
cended in tbe heart of his would be
victim. But Esta was equal to the
emergency. Like a flash she cover
ed Dick with a deadly rim of steel.
"iioiti . she screamed, "this pis
tol will not miss fire. I loaded it
with my own hands. You stir from
your tracks at your peril."
He paused and looked her straight
in the eyes. I don't know what he
read there, but his hand dropped to
his side again. Even the wickedest
of God's creatures cling to life, loth
to yield it up.
"Put down that knife," said Esta
in a low, stern voice.
He flung it from him into the un
derbush. Then he faced her sullen
ly.
"Lower that infernal death-dealer,'
he said, "I didn t want masters
money. I don't want it now. But
that fellow," pointing to Phil, "was
in mv way. You loved him, and
would never have looked at me while
he lived."
"And so you wrote that letter?"
Esta broke out, eaeerlv. "You knew
Phil would take the money to Wal
tham ! You meant to waylay and
mnruer him. ana avert suspicion
from yourself by stealing the money!''1
He did not answer. A devilish
glitter was coming into his brigh
black eyes. He glanced at Esta ira
way that sent the blood from her
heart
She could not hold him at bar
many minutes longer. In the nick
of time the loud roll of wheels echoed
in the road. A a wild, wild shriek
arose to her lips at the welcome
sound.
"Help ! help.
A fearful curse broke from the baf

toward her. She pulled the tneer

Deliverence was coming too near
for him to do aught but make his es

When a carriage with two or three
