The night was rxMeiiiuiil dark, and
I paused, chagiin.id at, tho tbought tiiat
Walter had escaped me. v.i
While I .stood heairntincfj naoertttin
which j.ath to pursue in the-- hope of
overtaking him, a pistol was tired on the

dimly discern, a number of persons has
tening in tho direction from whence tho
report had come, vlmnellcd by curiosi

"'Who la he?" cried another, " T,et

Very carefully the body of the man !
was raised and carried 1o the hallway of
tho Deunisoti House, "where there, was

It was not, until I had returned to

ly to the sad event here related, that I
was enabled to gather the full particu

The old story of -.huraquitod -Affection
was told me. , . Wyliei fell, as I had long
been nitisfied, desperately, madly ia

I He went ou the bench and thought
; no m iru 01 u. j ne court adjourned,

As sojn as he was quietly seated in
