The sitting-room into which Msdeline de Lancry led her visitor was the same in which she had received Victor two days be- fore. Mr. Smith glanced round him at the furniture, which was somewhat spare and unpretending, and then at the diamonds in the lady‘s ears, in unconcesled astonish- ment. “ You don't seem particularly well lodg- ed, for such a fine lady as you have become,” he juggestaed as an‘opening. , A .1:..-,.s:~.. n‘ nu Duaswwu u... w..- ‘1.-."â€" His own taste lay inaihe direction of plenty of glass and gilding, and he liked his cologs_b1:igh_t. . . .n 1n...__._~.\-... “ Mv husband and 1 find the rooms com- fortable enough,” said she carelessly. “ Ah, yes, so you've got another husâ€"I mean you've married since 1 saw you last.

But this beasts allâ€"that. it does." And he laughed egain. “ I don’t quite understand,” said she. “ Why. to go and marry a swell quite re- gular, with license and cake and everything in style, Knowing all the while that there was a poor devil knocking about somewhere whom you’d promised to love, honor, and obey in Islington church half a. score of years before. He put it quite plaintively, but Madeline only laughed in her turn ; and, with some fear of a woman’s foolish fancy for raking up old sores, he added quickly : “ Bun there, I know I was a. bit has'y and irritable at timesâ€"we all are, more or less ; and of course it was very natural that you should feel is, being such a. fine looking woman as you wereâ€"and as you are still, for the mat,- ter of that.

When he drew near to the side of the room where she was sitting he stopped, looked at himself in the glesa, and carefully smoothed down with his;not too clean hand a little feather-like tuft of wiry black hair which always stood out from the crown of his head unsubdued by the rarely applied comb. Then he laughed with some effort as he spoke again. ‘Il , 1.1:..- “ I‘m so sorry you think that,” said Made- line, ]eaning back in her chair, and draw- ing a footstool toward her. “ But perhaps you will forgive me when I tell you that nothing is further from my thoughts than to talk to you Ijust as if nothing had hap- pened.’ I wanted to speak to you because a. lot of extremely strange things have hap. pened since I had the pleasure of promising tolove, honor. and obey you in Islington church, and because I went to know just what share you, and a certain gentleman whose name I don't think I need mention, have had in bringing those strange things about.” Aid Mr. Smith, alias Meredith, pulled out his handkerchief and passed. it over his forehead ;for injured delicacy had made him warm. At the words “certain gentleman" Mr. Smith grew suddenly quite quiet, and suc- cessfully abstracted every trace of expres- sion from his round face. “ I shall be very happy to give you any information in my power, but 1 haven’t the least idea. who the mysterious ‘ certain gen- tleman’ is.” “\Vell, we won‘t waste any time over that. The gentleman I mean is your accom- plice, Louis de Breteull. Now you know quite well that I'm not afraid of you, so| what is the use of going through all that silly pantomine? ’ she asked calmly, as: Meredith began to dance, and to make little I threatening runs at her. “I know that' you two are still linked together; I know that he is still living luxuriously in Paris on the proceeds of your combined knnveries; ‘ I know that you have for some years filled the post of traveller for the firm of Fonrnier ‘ & Beresford in order to veil your robberies, and to give you opportunities for more ; I know that the railway robbery was your workâ€"1’ - ‘ “Then it you know so much, what the deuce is there you want to know more ?” in- terrupted Meredith, whose eyes, as round and black as a toad'e, were now shining out of a. moist red face, as he stood watching her cruel mouth in terror. murdered ‘1" “ Good gracious !" The very mildnesa of this exclamation, in the face of such a terrible implied accusa- tion, was an emphatic protest against the injustice of it. “‘ After such a hsul as you made by the robbery of Blair's £12,000, the compamtive- ly trifling amount which a prudent man like ,A____.Ij L...- L‘J -L‘..A. -, a . this poor Mr. Shaw would have had about him cannot- had much attracticn for either of you.

J As sh; took not the least notice of his ex- ressions of indignant: astonishment, Mere- dith suddenly changed his tone, drew for- ward a chair, and, seating himself in front of her, put his spectacles on his nose and his hands on his knees. and examined her face, “ich his head tilted back, and a lOJk of genial amusement on his face. n,,-1 “ It s too funny, simply too funny," said he at last, when his efirontery had had its intended effect of making Madeline impa- tient and restless. “ Here's a. good lady who has married three gentlemen in succes- sion, without troubling herself about the fact that two of these unions were illegal; then, when she comes across the original and only genuine husband, she thinks herself en- titled to bring him to book.” He drew his chairs little nearer to her, and continued, A GREAT SEC Quintflto know why Mr. Shaw was CHAPTER XIV.

But now, aren't you a silly woman to go poking your nose into things that don’t con- cern you in the least, when the very best thing that can happen to you is to be en- tirely forgotten byâ€"by certain eople in whose afiaira you seem determined to mod- dle ? You’ve heard the proverb ‘ Let sleep- ‘ ing dogs lie,’ and if you had ’heard certain words whichâ€"which certain people made use of in Paris ten years ago, when you turned so unaccountany nasty, I think you would see the advantage of leaving well alone.” " Did you ever hear the words I made use of on that occasion ‘3" “ Oh yes, the nonse me a sensible woman will speak in a. passion, and be ashamed of when she comes to herself.” This particularly unwise speech made Madeline’s cheeks glow and her eyes flash. “Exactly,” she assented, speaking under strong self~restraint. “ But as even a. son- sible woman may object to see crimes comâ€" mitted with impunity under her very nose, I shall call upon Mr. Beresford, and put him in possession of certain facts in the his- torv of his confidential clerk." This blow struck home. Meredith jump- ed up with a deep-drawu breath, and his fist raised in exasperation, which, however was more comical than alarming x0 Madeline who only looked up and nodded calmly, as an assurance that she was in earnest. “ If you doâ€"" he growled ; and he stop- ped and looked in her face with most careful scrutiny. Then, as if satisfied, he dropped his fist and set down again. “ You think Idon’t mean when I say; but you are mistaken. Or perhaps you fuucy that your credit is so good with Mr. Beresford that he willbelieve nothing against you ? There I think you are mistaken againr. Your employer is a. selfish, avaricious man, willing to shut his eyes to irregularities on your part which don’t concern him and his husiness. But commercial smartness is not the same thing as robbery preceded by mur- der ; and if Mr. Beresford were once to understand that you had had a. hand in the death of Mr. Shawâ€"" “Before God, Madeline, I had not 1” burst out the little man, who was by this time shaking from head to foot. “ Ihad nothingto do with itâ€"I knew nothing about it. I was shocked. It came upon me like a. thunderbolt. O Madeline, you've seen the worst of me; now be honest, was I ever cruel '3” He had risen and was leaning against the rail of the chair he had occupied, bending over it, and speaking with most genuine earnestness and anxiety. Madeline did not look at him. but her mouth quivered. Something in his pleading voice, his momen- tary sincerity, recalled the old days of thier brief married life together, his impulsive remorse after some one of his numerous backslidings, the difficulty she used 'to feel in assuming for a few minutes that hardness which was now her natural attitude to all the world. She sprang up, walked quickly to one of the two windows, threw it open, and looked out at the masts and funnels of the ships that lined the quay. It was a dark, dull night, and the wind was rising. Meredith followed her to the window, and as she turned suddenly, she found herself so close to him that she uttered a hoarse cry. Before she could pass he put out. his ‘hands {Ouagmin her, 3333, fibrin-king with disgust from his touch, she stopped. “ Madeline, you must believe thisâ€"I will have you believe this,”he said, dropping from his voice and manner the grust of coarseness, which, at first assumed as on ‘ afl'eotation, was new the result of years of companionship with his inferiors in educa- tion. “ There is only one of the command- ments I’ve never broken, I’ve never helped to break : I’ve never lifted my hand against any man’s life. And there is one oath I've kept and mean to keep; and that is to stand by the men who stood by me. Not much to take pride in, I daressy you think. But one creed is as good as another if you stick to it, and that‘s mine, And if you tell on me to old Bereaford you’ll simply lose him a good clerk and take away from me the one honest occupation I’ve got, which I might have settled down to entirely one of these days. And as for hurting Louis de Breteuil by this slspdash sort of accusation, it‘s like catching s bird by putting salt on its tail. To rush about and proclaim that a. certain man is a murderer won't hang him, my den.’ “ No ; if it were so easy as that the ex- citement wouldn't be strong enough to be worth the trouble.” And the flexible red mouth, so passionate, so changeful in the old days, became straight with the horrible resolution of a sensual nature grown hard and cruel. Meredith absolut ely shivered as he looked at her. “And do youâ€"doâ€"«io you meantoâ€"to tell me," he stammered in a. low voice, “that youâ€"you would send a. man to the gallows pour passer le temps ?” n . u , ,,,,_L L.._L.-‘Aâ€"‘- t"“‘" r i ; “ Not quite that. But the most turbulent life is better than stagnation, and I am not sorry that ebance has reminded me of 311 old grudge to be paid at? by throwing me across the path of my creditors.” “ One of them. If you were to come across the other you wouldn't get ofl’ so well. Look here, Madeline, you‘d better getyour husband tobuy you a couple of new dresses, and for- get all about me andâ€"the other one.

Still, there's a spirit in you I like, and what I say to you is: Humbug about here If you like, go and worry old Beresford, try to set my employers against me if you likeâ€"remember I’ve got the ear of both the money-grubbing old boys but, for God‘s sake, don’t try to men De Breteuil. I’m only a. human blackyuard, but he isâ€"tbe devil." And Meredi' h took up from the table the shabby, low-crowned, curly brimmed, round hut, which was his habitual and most un~ becoming headgear, nodded to M zdeline in l exactly the same awkward would-be careless manner with which, during their married life together, he used to leave her to go out in the evening “ to see a. man who got a, tip," and opened the door. Halfway along the corrider he met a tall gentleman with a gray moustache, who stared at him, but in a mannertoo dignified to be calledimpertinent. Mr. Smith touched his hat tohimand hurried out, wondering how Madeline would explain his own Visit. “ 01d chap warships her, suppose ; and he might be at the bottom of sea the for what she cares ; 50 might I. But De Breteuilâ€"I'll be hanged if I know whether she isn’t fond of him still. Queer creatures, women.” These reflections last- ‘ed till he reached the platform, where he found that his train had gone ; however, he started for Boulogne by the next, and it was some weeks before Mr. Smith again made his appearance in Calais or its neighbor- hood. The ten days following the night of Mr. Shaw’s murder were spent in investigating by the police, in arresting and releasing various persons who had no connection with the affair, and in interrogating all those people who had had any intercourse what- ever with Mr. Shaw on the day of his death. Gerald, Mr. Beresford, and Mr. Smith, were the only people who could tell anything of importance ; but the first was ill of concussion of the brain, the last had disappeared with the telegraphic excuse to his employers that urgent family afl‘airs re- quired his presence in England ; so that Mr. Beresford’s sensational announcement that the dead man had had in his possession a clue to the perpetrators of the robbery in the train was the only important piece of evidence forthcoming. Mr. Shaw’s eld- est son, a good-hearted young fellow with the manners of a. groom, who had been most carefully educated without learning any- thing at all, came over to Calais to call at “ Les Bou'eaux " to see Mr. Beresford, and to take his father‘s body back to Eng- land when the inquest was over. He behav- ed very well, poor perplexed young man, looking dignified for the first time in his life as he stood, in his long travelling ulster, silenced by his grief and by his ignorance of the French language, listening by the hour to explanations and declarations by first one official and then another, none of whom cuuld tell him more than he knewâ€"that his father had been foully murdered, no one knew by Whom. So he left a kind, indiffer- ently spelt letter at the house of M. Four- nier, to be given to Gerald as soon as he was better, and returned with his solemn freight to England. And there were more investi- gations, and more interrogatories, and at the end of a fortnight Gerald, having suffici- ently recovered from his illness, had his evidence taken down and his careful de- scription of the murderer. On being asked whether the face was like any one he had seen before, the young man at first hesitated, but finally said. “ No,” and persisted in that answer. But: when, a. fortnight after the murder, Madame de Lsncry called to learn how be was, and, finding him convalescent, broach~ ed the subject of that; night‘s adventures, he was more communicative, and on her press- ing him to be frank, he confessed that the face he had seen bending over him in the darkness had struck him by its likeness to Victor Fournier. “ It was only & likeness in the features, you understand, madame, and I think he was a. much older man than Victor ; but he had just the same type of thin aquiline fea- tul es, and a small black moustache like Vlctor’s. "Haifine de Lancry looked at him, and listeggdAattenblvely. .a .1 " Had you evervseen the men befor e ‘3’ she asked. “ Never, madame.” “ Ah 1" She got up and walked about the room, looking at the objects around her, glancing now and then at Gerald, whose languid interest in the matter under discusâ€" sion, though scarcely surprising so soon siter his illness. irritated and lentonishod her. At last she stopped in front of him, such a. majestic figure in her trained gown of black brocade glistening with hanging drops of jet, that the pause she made before speaking rendered her slow. grave words doubly impressive. “ Whatâ€"would you say,” she asked 501- emnly. “if I were to tell you that the ob- ject you hold dearest in life is intimately connected with the discovery of Mr. Shaw’s murderer 2" "6516 final-ted, and his face grew very white. ":Tii’hy, what has she to do with it? he fays‘terefi quickly, in a hu‘sky voice. "She l" s‘aid Madame de Lsnory, in a. doe voice that sounded like distant thunder to t e poor lad, who grew suddenly as red as he had been white, and hung his head, and figeted with s tassel of the sofa-cushion like a corrected child. “fmean;;â€"I mean,” said he, clearing his throat, “ that I do not understand you, madame. ” “You told me,|not threeweeks Agoâ€"but you very young men measure your con- stancy, your couvxctions, by minutes, I know,” she interpolated scornfullyâ€"“ that the one object of your life was to clear your father's name from the suspicion that hangs over it.” Gerald started again. “Yes, yes, so it is,” he said quickly, his thin face burning and quivering with half a. dozen strong and strange emotions as he heard her. Macaame de Lancry watched the sensitive and ingenuous face steadily, and said, in a low deep voice, the very tone of which kept him spellbound : “ Find the murderer of Mr. Shawâ€"and you will have found the man who robbed and murdered your father.” Between comfort; and discomfort is often very slight.

The Boundary Linc The shock of this declaration made to him while he was still weak from illness, was too much for Gerald. He looked up in her face quite steadily for a moment longer, and then his body fell for- ward, and he was only prevented by the quick clasp of her strong arns from falling to the floor. Her first impulse, even then, was indignant contempt at the weakness of a nature which was not braced up instead of shaken by a sta.emeut so overwhelming. But as she put her arm round the young man's shoulder, and laid his damp head back gently on to the cushions of the sofa, the ‘old emotion of tenderness, which she had not now known for years, woke up in the woman’s breast again. and she remem- bered the time when thoughts of love were foremost in her too. nayâ€"n.-- ._ 7,, “ Poor boy !” she whispered kindly; and as she touched his hair with her lip with motherly gentleness the door opened and Victor came in. He had just returned home from the factory, and, on hearing that Mad- ame de Lsncry was in the salon he had hurried to the room in eager haste, for his admiration for this some- what inaccessible lady was increas’ ing every day. Of course he affected not even to have seen her caressing attitude near Gerald, although she scarcely altered it on his entrance : but when she left, after a few remarks to Victor, in which she did not forget to congratulate him on his approach- ing marriage, the young Frenchman turned almost savagely to Gerald, and said dis- ngreeably. “She might: have spared a. little of her sympathy for me, linked an I shall be to- morrow to the moat ill-tempered specimen of boldness and prudery your fog-smothered country has fave}: produced !"

Preaantly he got up with red eyes and tremulous lips, and walking un- atondily toward the mantelpiece, saw that it was three o’clock. “There’s lots of time for me to get there before they have dinner,” he said to himself; “and of courne I really ought: to make some inquiries and bestir myself, after what Madame de Lancry said." So he went in search of Madame Four- nier, told her, with tears of gratitude in his eyes for her kindness, that he must go back to “ Les Bouleaux ” that day, and show Mr. Berasford that he was fit tor work againâ€" which he evinently was notâ€"and started in a. small hired omnibus within half an hour of making up his mind. The drive was full of horrible reminis- cences to him, but as he drew near to “ Les Bouleaux ” his agitation increased from an- other cause. Suddenly, within a few yards of the entrance to the avenue, he shouted to the driver to stop, and got out of the omnibus. For he had caught sight of 8.

It appears that during the year 1886 the number of persons killed by wild animals and venomous snakes in Hindustan was 24,- 841. This is an increase of 1,035 over the figures for the prevxous year. The fatalities from snake bites rose from 20,142 to 22,134, while wild animals Killed 2,707 persons as compared with 2,765 in 1885. Tigers were responsible for 928 deaths and wolves for 222, these figures showing 90 more deaths from tigers and 26 fewer from wolves as compared with the preceding year. Elephants, leopards, beers, hyenus, wild boars, bisons, wild hogs, jackals, alligators, crocodiles, wild cats and panthers had also their quote of victims. Can a Man Swallow a Cannon- ball?
