Mrs. Treverton's bediatiamber was a larg e ,

house, and eoasequently overlooking the sea

by the marvellous preservation of her complexion

Leceon, who had watched bee all through her

her mistress now, that the Gales of Life bad
closed behind her, and that the beckoning hand
of Death was signing to her already from the
Gates of the Grave.
Solna dogs'•eared books its paper coven lay
on the counterpane of the bed. As soon as the
curtain was drawn aside, Mrs. Treverton ordered
ber attendant by a gesture to remove them. They
were plays, undereeored in certain places by ink
lines and marked with marginal annotations re
ferring to entrances, exits, and places, on the
'cage. The servants, talking down }}Cain of there
mistress's occupation before her ,Marriage, had
not been misled by false reports. Their master,
after be bad passed the prime of life, bad, in

years had elapsed Matte her first appearance in

Sarah, with a fosgetfulness of her station
which might have appeared extraordinary even

flung bereelf back In a chair when the first word
of Mrs. Treverton's reply was uttered, clasped
her to tabling hands over tier face, and groaned to

tened when she spoke of her love for her hur
band. She lay intent fur a few minutes- the work

pressed by her quick, hard, labored breathing,
and by the painful contraction of her eyebrows.
Ere, long, she turned her head uneasily towards
the ehair in which her attendant was sitting, and
spoke again—this time, in a voice which bad
sunk to a whisper.
" Look for my medicine," said she. "I want
it."

of obedience brushed away the tears that were

medicine again.
" Give me the bottle."
"0, pray don't ask me. Pray wait. The
doctor said it was as bad as drata.driaking, if yow

Mrs Treverton's clear, deep grey eyes began
to flash; the msy flush deepened on her cheeks;

effort, from the oounterpene oo chicle i lay.

eyes still expressing the superstitious terror

for the next command. Some minutes elapsed
before Mrs. Trevertoo spoke again. She still
retained her manses eilisiently to be vaguely con
scious of the *fleet whichithe medicine was pro
duoiag on her, and to be desirous of combating
its further progress before it stiooseded in utterly
confusing her ideas. She asked ins for the

This last, poured on to her bawdkerohief, and
applied to her forehead, seemed to prove success

in quite, deliberate, de t ermined tones. Sarah's
tears fell fast; her lips murmured fragments of
ratenoes in which entreaties, expressions of
penitence, and exclamations of fear were all
strangely mingled together, bet she wrote on
submissively, in wavering lines, until she had
nearly filled the two first sides of the note-paper.
Then Mrs. Twerton paused, looked the writing
over, and, taking the pea, signed her name at the
end of it. With this effort, her powers of resis
tance to the exciting effect of the medicine seem
ed to fen. The deep nosh
tinge her cheeks once more, and she spoke
hurriedly and unsteadily when she banded the
pen back to her maid.
Sign!" she cried, besting her band feebly oa
the bedclothes. " Sign Sarah Leeson, witness.
No:—writs accomplice. Take your share of it;
I won't have it shifted on me. Sign, I insist on
it! Sign as I tell you."
Sarah obeyed; and Mrs. Travenol*, taking the
paper from ber, pointed to it solemnly, with a
return of the same sad stage gesture which had
escaped her a little while back.
" You will give this to your master," she said,
"when I am dead, and you wil answer any qnes•
dons be puts to you as truly as if you were be.

Clasping her hands fast together, Sarah regard

tones.
"If I only knew that I was At to die, " she
said, "Oh, how gladly I would change plac es with

" Promise me that you will give the paper to

man used when he was here this morning. Get
it, or I shall not reel in my grave. Get it, or I
will eons to you from the other world."
The mistress laughed, as she reiterated that
threat. The maid shuddered, as she obeyed the
command which it was designed to impress on
her.
" Yes, yea—the Bible the cleroman need,"
continued Atm. Treverton, vacantly, after the
book had been prodnoed. "The clergyman—a
