Mis Masons Love Affairs. Poor Jeiiny was 'desigae 1 to go through with quite an onieal ot suffering that Summer. She was ailing for two or three weks, ami Soi'lv came down with typhoid fevtr. The fever ran high aud lonj. aod, of course, we all tcok our sluire in carina; for her. Miss Mason o fie rod seveial times to &it up with her at uitit, but we did not find it necessary to accept her services lor some weeks. I would rather not have doile so at all, she was so miserable "" herself; but one night, when Ji?nuy was at the worst, she seemed so anxious to do her rart that it was arranged for her to watch. When bed time came, however, she was looking so wan and haggard that I urged her to let me remain in her place. It struck me that there was something like a feverish excitement in the way she insisted upon watching with the sick girl. I went to Led with an- uneasiness and weight upon my mind. That I should do so was natural enough, with such extreme sickness under my roof; but, in addition, I seemed to ferceive the shadow of coming fate, t was a sulfrj August night; J lay on my bed, and tossed and turned, and could not rest, and as I asked myself, over and over, the occasion of my extreme nervousness, my mental reply shaped itself over and over again, and always the same :J distrusted Miss Mason. I would have f'ven anything not to have done so; could assign no sufficient reason for sodoiag, but I could not force the fact of my suspicion from my mind, I distrusted her; and in a vain effort to quiet my distrust I finally fell asleep. I was awakened by the clock i . -

smiting . three, ana btarted up with the consciousness that something was happening. I listened. There was not a sound through the house. It was I who had received the doctor's instruction for the night, and I knew that Jenny was tq have her medicine at this hour. Could Miss Mason have fallen asleep? I strained my ears; the door of my room was open, but I could not hear the faintest stir, and, with every moment, the oppression with which I woke gained upon me horribly. I got up, at last, stole across the entry, pushed the doorof Jenny's room open very softly, and looked in. The night lamp burned rather dimly, but I still saw everythingwith distinctness. Miss Mason was standing by the bedside; she was in her night-dress; a gay. striped shawl, which she seemed to have had about her, had fallen to her waist, and trailed ..along the floor. Her cold blue eyes were blazing; there was a small scarlet spot in each of her wan cheeks. She held a phial, from which she was dropping a red liquid into a table-spoou, and both herhands trembled. I 'took all this in at a glance, ind I feit the inability to move which is common in nightmare. But, notwithstanding the spel'j if I may call it so, which waajDn me, I took in all the surroundings of the room. Miss Masou had -evidently . been writinz; her 'table stood covered with papers, not faffrom the bed ; I f lanced mechanically past that to the areau, where I had laid a letter which had come for Jenny from Jack that evening. ,;Thi letter was gone! At the moment I noticed this fact, Miss Mason finished dropping the liquid ; she set the phial on the stand, and bent over Jenny, who was in a heavy stupor, as if to give her the potion. At this motion the blood rushed to my brain. I recalled that the medicine to be given was in powders, not liquid; my eyes fastened upon the phial, which was of a curious shape, with a glass stopple; I recognized having seen it on Miss Mason's toilet stand! A stifling, horrible conviction came over me. I struggled to stir. She had put her arm under Jenny's head; the spoon touched her lips. It seemed to me that I shrieked, but I suppose I really i uttered. ony a feeble souud, a I staggered into the room. . Miss Mason started 'back ; the spoon fell; its contents dabbed the bed-jread, like blood; she pressed her hand to her side, and glared at me with tie expression of a somnambulist. "Thank God!" I capped. " thur I have spared you such a deed!" She seemed to me. Her feature; riirid; her riht th e coiumis.-ioti ot crouch away from ; were distorted ami hand clutched the fringe of the shawl about her, spasmodically. " Mi-s Denby, save me!"' he fammered out. 'What does this nnvu?" I n-keu. ' Yts. it wi: s a mean act!" h- replied, svill if she were uot awake, thouk-h I believed she was affoeting the manner. " What was it?" I asked. She c uitiiiued to stare vjdiitiy at me. " What I have been doing '" .-he sai'i. , Hoi exprei-:.n appeared to me assumed. I was couviiu-ed that she was acting. I felt the weight of the respotjs; nil whici had devolved oh me. : - Mi-s Mason," I .j, as collectedly as 1 comd, "your tragical attitude seems me an unbecoming affeetaV,0D- , ,WIh you t0 be rlaiu withnie. My sudden entrance ha overe-. me you, and interfered with your plans. Explain to me what you were doing?'' Her influence over me wa still great, that I could not word what I had to say more explicitly. She replied, quietly: "I do not understand you." This revolted me. I continued, sternly: "When I opened the door, you were on the poi nt of administering to

Jeuny Brewster something which, in your azitation, you have spilled. Whatever this was, you were giving it contrary to the doctor's directions. I wish to know what it was." A gleam of intelligence crossed her face. She moved, as if to possess her-

i self of the phial, but I was nearer the stand, and laid mv nana on it firmly. "Why why Miss Denby,'; she sai l, begin niirg to shiver hysterically "what do you mean?", " I mean that you are to tell me what you were attempting to give Jenny Brewster, and why?" I know my v ice was cruel. She broke down, aud began to sob. " It was the new medicine," she said, agitatedly. " It should have been given precisely at three. I reproach aiyself bitterly for being behind hand. I was so distracted so un hippy " There was a shudder in her voice. "The new medicine!" I repeated. "Has' the doctor been here through the night?" " He was here at twelve. He was called somewhere ou.t of town, and stopped 0:1 the way. "He found some chanze in Jenny, and altered the medicine." " He rrade it up himself?" I asked, glancing at the little ornamental phial and its c nt?nts. "Yes" she seemed to read, my suspicion " I got my ammonia bottle, as there was nothing in the room to contiin the mixture." . ' ' It was horrible to have ifso. but her words sounded false to me. I did not believe her. My position was painful. In face of such an explanation, it would have been inhuman to have r;rs 'd an alarm. I wished to send for the doctor on some pretext, to have the story verified, but I was afraid to leavi her alone with Jenny while I went to call Nancy, or to send her to do so, lest, if my suspicion was correct, she should avail herself of the opportunity to escape While, at the same time, if her story was true, I was takicg the responsibility of omitting the medicine, which I dare not give upon her word. I felt the injustice of manifesting my suspicions upon such grounds aa I had. I was utterly at a loss what to do. I said, at last: " Miss Mason, you were unnaturally agitated by my sudden entrance. I confess that I am nervous. For both our sakes, tell me why you did not eive this medicine at. the appointed hour? 1 The blood flushed over her face, and left it white as marble. " I have been doing a mean, wicked deed. I forpot everything in doing it. When I fancied tayself detected, I lost my control." " What was this deed?" " Opening and reading Jenuy's letter from Mr. Claes!" She spoke calmly, but with evident effort, as though constrained in spite of herself. " Why did you open the letter? " I asked. The blood flushed again over her white face, like a stain. ' had to know! she said, with, au imperious sort of gesture. " What?" Afterward I could hardly believe I had asked these questions of Camilla Mason. " Whether he loved her! " in a hoarse, hissing way. ,' As she said these 'fords the clock struck four. The flying time recalled me to the necessity of the action. At th.it moment, to my inexpressible relief, there was a rumble of wheels, which stopped at the door, and an instant after, Dr. Brown was stepping softly up the stairs. Quick as thought I threw Miss Mason's shawl over the red stain on the bedspread. Dr. Brown stepped up to his patient. " I fe-ltanxions about her," he said, "and thought I'd stop on my way home." He turned to Miss Mason. " Have you noticed any effect from ths medicine? You have given it twice, I suppose?" I came forward and blundered through with some sort of story about our not having liked to rouse Jenny. "What!" said the Doctor, bristlinz; "she has not had it at all? Where is the phial?" Mi last state was certainly worse than ray first! To have accused another wrongfully is certainly pitiable; to have tr:fl.:d with, the duigerouscot ditio.n of the sick girl, perhaps, more pitiable still; and to have become a target for the good doctor's wrath, something to ije trembled at. I handf-d him the phial. He measured and administered the pje licine, and took him-elf off in a huff, muttering something about it being bid enough t" ride ntsrht and day at everv one's tee'.' and call, without tit ho,,t by a coupl o men ! 1 wa a'one again w; t.-eins cnobed iguoraut woth MNs Mjsou. bv ; T'Okuizinz T i Im't mv suspicion fr it was iiupo-sib ti at the evident vh.ci: she labor.' d her ficuiries ;.nd o.
