vigilant as sentinels.

That burst of delirium was the elitnax. Walter began to get better after that. But a long period of convalescenee was before him; and the doctor warned them that eonvaleseenee has its very serious dangers, that they must he very careful, and. above all. not irritate

nor even excite him.

All this time torments of another I kind had been overpowered but never suppressed in poor Grace’s mind; and these now became greater as Walter's danger grew less and less. What would he the end of all this? Here she was installed, to her amazement, in Clifford Hall, as Walter's wife, and treated all of a sudden, with marked affection and respect by Colonel Clifford, who had hitherto seemed to abhor her. But it was all an illusion; the whole house of cards must come tumb-

ling down some day.

Some days before the event last described. Hope had said to her. “My child, this is no place for you

I and hie.”

“No more it is. papa,” said Grace. “I

I know that too well.”

| ^ “Then why did you let them bring us "i'apa,” said Grace, “I forgot all about

that."

“Forgot it!” “It seems incredible, does it not? But what 1 saw and felt thrust what I had only heard out of my mind. Oh. papa! you were insensible, poor dear; but if vou had only seen Walter Clifford when lie saved us! I took him forsomegiant miner. He seemed ever so much bigger than the gentleman I loved—av.and I shall love himto my dyingilay. whether or not he has—But when hi* sprang to niv side, and took me with his bare bleeding arms to bis heart, that panted so. I thought hisheart would hurst; and mine too, could I feel another woman between us. All that might be true, but it was unreal. That he loved me. and had saved me. that was real. And when we sat together in the carriage, vour poor bleeding head upon my bosom, and his hand grasping mine, and his sweet eyes beaming with love and joy, what could 1 realize except my father s danger and my husband's mights love? I was all present anxiety and present bliss. His sin and my alarms seemed hundreds of miles off; and doubtful. And even since I have been here, see how greater and nearer things have overpowered me. Your deadly weakness- you. who were strong, poor ih .i! oh, let me kiss you, dear darling —till you had saved your child; Walter's terrible danger. Oh. my dear fathe:, spare me. How can a poor weak woman think of such different woes, and realize and suffer them all at once? Spare me, dear father, spare me! Let me see you stronger; let mesee him safe: and then let us think of that othereruel lliing. and what we ought to say to Colonel Clifford, and what we ought to do. and where we are to go.” “M> poor child,” said Hope, faintly, with tears in his eyes, “I sav no more Take your own time.” Grace did not abuse this respite. So soon as the doctor declared Walter out ot immediate danger, and indeed safe, it cautiously treated, she returned of her own accord to the miserable subject that had been thrust aside. After some discussion, they both agreed that they must nowconlhietheir grief to Col<mel Clifford, and must quit his home, and make him master of the situation, and sole depositaryof thetcrrilde sei ret for a time. Hope wished to make the revelation, and spare his daughter that pain. She assented readily and thankfully. This was a woman's first impulse—to put a man forward. But by-and-by she had one of her tits of hard thinking, and saw that such a revelation ought not to he made by one straightforward man to another, but with all a woman's soothing ways, liesides, she bad already discovered that the Colonel had a great esteem and growing affection for her; and. in short, she felt that if the blow could be softened by anybody, it was by her. Her father objected that she would encounter a terrible trial, from which he could save her; but she entreated him. and lie yielded to her entreaty, though against' !>>« judgment. U hen this was settled, nothing remained out to execute it. Then the woman came uppermost, and Grace procrastinated forone insuflic.ent reason ami another. liowevei, at last ah. resolved that the very next day she would ask John Baker to get her a private interview with Colonel Clifford m his study. This resolution had not been long formed when that very John Baker tapped at Mr. Hope's door, and brought her a note from Colonel Clifford asking her if she could fa\ or him with a visit in his study. Giace siimI. “Yes, Mr. Baker, I will come directly.” As soon as Baker was gone she began to bemoan her weak procrastination, and begged her father's pardon for her presumptinu in taking the matter out of his hands. "You would not baveput it oil a day. Now. see what i have done by my cowardice.” Hope did not see what she had done, and the quickwitted young lady, jumping at once at a conclusion, opened her eyes and said: “Why. don't you see? Some other person has told film what it was so important he should hear first from me. Ah! it is the same gentleman that came and warned me. lie has heard that we are actually married, for it is the talk of the place, and he told me she would punish him if he neglected tier warning. Oh. what shall I do?” “You go too fast. Grace, dear. Don't run before trouble like that. Come, go to Colonel Clifford, and you will find it is nothing of the kind.” Grace snook her head grandly. Experience had given her faith in lier own instincts, as people call them—though they are subtle reasonings the steps of which are not put forward—and she went down to the study. “Grace, my dear,” said the Colonel, “I think I shall have a lit of the gout.” “Oh no.” said Grace. “Weliave trouble enough.” “It gets less every day, my dear; that is one comfort. But what 1 meant was that our poor invalids eclipse me entirely in your good graces. That ,s bcc ‘)'ch 8elW«!* true^ma^uM

an honor to your sex. But I should like to see a litfle more of you. Well, all in good time. I didn’t send for you to tell you that. Sit down, my girl; it

is a matter of business.”

Grace sat down, keenly on her guard, though she did not show it in the least.

Colonel Clifford resumed:

“You may be sure that nothing has been near my heart for some time but your danger and my dear son's. Still, I owe something to other sufferers, ami the poor widows whose husbands have perished in that mine have cried to me tor vengeance on the person who bribed that Burnley. I am a magistrate, too, and duty must never be neglected. I have got detectives about, and I have offered five hundred guineas reward for the discovery of the villain. One Jem Davies described him to me, and I put the description on the placards and in the papers. But now I learn that Davies’ description is all second-hand. He had it from you. Now I must tell you that a description at second-hand always misses some part or other. As a magistrate, I never encourage Jack to tell me what Jill says when lean get hold of Jill. You are Jill, my dear, so now please verify Jack's description or correct it. However, the best way will be to give me your ow n description be-

fore I read you bis.”

“I will:” said Grace, very much relieved. “Well. then, lie was a man not over forty, thin, and witli bony fingers; an enormous gold ring on the'little linger of bis rigid hand, lie wore a suit of tweed, all one color, rather tight, anil a vulgar neck-handkerchief, almost crimson. He had a face like a corpse, and very thin lips. But the most remarkable thing were his eyes and Ids eyebrows, lliseyes were never still, and his brows were very black, and not shaped like other people's: they were neither straight, liKe Julia Glifford's, for instance, nor arched like Walter's; that is to say, they were arched, but all on one side. Each brow began quite high up on the temple, and then came down in a slanting drop to the bridge of the nose, and lower tlian the bridge. There.if you will give mea pencil,I will draw you one of his eyebrows in a min-

ute.”

she drew the eyebrow with masterly ease and rapidity. “Why, that is the evebrow of Mephistopheles.” "And so it is.” said Grace, naively. “No wonder it did not seem human to

me!”

“I am sorry to say it is human. You can see it in every Convict jail. But,” saiil he. “how came this villain to sit to

you for his portrait?”

“lie did not, sir. But when he was struggling with me to keep me from

rescuing my father ”

“What! did the ruffian lay hands on

yon?”

“That he did, and so did Mr. Bartley. But the villain was the leader of it all: and w hile he was struggling with me—” “You were taking stock of him? IV ell. they talk of a Jew's eye; give me a woman s. My dear, the second-hand description is not worth a button. I must write fresh notices from yours, and. above all. instruct the detectives. You have given me information that w ill lead to that man's capture. As for the gold ring and the tweed suit, they disappeared into space when mv placard went up. you may he sure of that, and a felon can paint his face. But hiseves and eyebrows w ill do him. They itre the mark of a jail-bird. I am avisiting justice, and have often noticed the peculiarity. Draw me his eyebrows, and we will photograph them in Derby; and my detectives shall send copies to Scotland Yard and all the convict prisons. Vi e'll have him.” The Colonel paused suddenly in his triumphant prediction, and said, “But wlmt w as that you let fall about Bartley ? He w as no partvto this foul crime. VMiy. lie has worked night and dav to save you and Hope. Indeed, vou both owe your lives to him.”

“Indeed!”

“Yes. lie set the men on to save vou within ten minutes of the explosion, lie bought rope by the mile, and great iron buckets to carry up the debris that was heaped up between vou and the working party. He raved about the pit day and night, lamenting his daughter and his friend: and why I say he saved yon. 'twas he who advised Walter. I had this from Walter himself before his fever came on. He advised and implored him not to attempt to clear the whole shaft, but to pick sideways into the mine twenty feel from the ground. He told Walter that he never really slept at night, and in his dreams saw "you in a part of the mine he culls the hall. Now Walter sa\s that but for this advice they would have been two days more geti ing to you.” “We should have been dead;” said Grace, gravely. Then she relleeted. “Colonel Clifford,” said she, “I listened to that villain and Mr. Bartley planning my father's destruction. Certainly every word Mr. Bartley said was p'ainst it. He spoke of it with horror. Yet. somehow or other, that wii-ulied man obtained from him :ia order to send the man Burnley down the mine, ind what will you think when I tell you 'hat lie agisted the villain to hinder me from going to the mine-’' Then she told him tin* whole scene, and how they ■Jiut her up in the house, and she had to go down a curtain and hurst through ■i quickset hedge. But all the time she was thinking of Waite: s bigamy and now she was to reveal it; and she related her exploits in such a cold, languid manner that it was hardly possible to believe them. Colonel Clifford could not help saving: “My dear, you have had a great shock: and you have dreamt all this. Certainly you are a tine girl.and broadshouldered. I admire that in man or woman—but vou are so delicate, so refined. so gentle.” Grace blushed and said, languidly, “For all that, I am an athlete.” “An athlete, child?” “Yes. sir. Mr. Bartley took care of that. He would never let me wear a corset, and for years he made me do calisthenics under a master.” "Calisthenics?” “That is a line word for gymnastics.” Then with a double dose of languor, “I can go up a loose rope forty feet, so it was nothing to me to comedown one. The hedge was the worst tiling: hut my father was in danger, and my blood was up.” She turned suddenly on the Colonel with a flash of animation, “You used to keep race-horses, Walter told me.” The Colonel stared at this sud-

den turn.

“That I did,” said he; “and a pretty

penny they cost me.”

“W ell, sir, is not a race-horse a poor mincing tiling until her blood gets up

galloping?”

"By Jove! you are right." said lie; “she steps like a cat upon hot bricks. But the comparison is not needed. Whatever statement Mrs. Walter Cl if ford makes to me seriously is gospel to me, who already know enough of her to respect her lightest word. Pray grant me this much, that Bartley is a true

law? 1 ’

She did not reply. “Ah!” said he, coloring high and rising from Ids chair. He began to walk the room in some agitation. “You arc rigid.” said he: “1 once affronted you cruelly, unpardonably. Still, prav consider that you passed for Bartley's daughter; that was my objection to you. and then I did not know youreharacter. But when I saw you come out pale and resolved to sacrifice yourself to justice anil another woman,’that converted me at once. Ask Julia what 1 said about

you.”

"I must interrupt you," said Grace.“I cannot let such a man as you excuse yourself to a girl of eighteen who has nothing but reverence for you, and

would love you if she dared.”

“Then all’ I can say is that you are very mysterious, my clear, and 1 wish

you would speak out.”

"I shall speak out soon enough." said Grace, solemnly, “now I have begun. Colonel Clifford, you have nothing to reproach yourself with. No more have I. for that matter. Yet we must both suffer.” She hesitated a moment, and then said, firmly, "You do me the honor to approve my conduct in that dreadful situation. Did you hear all that pifcsed? did you take notice of all I said?” "1 did.” said Colonel Clifford. “I shall never forget that scene, nor the distress, nor the fortitude of her 1 am proud to

call my daughter."

Grace put her hands before her face at these kind words, and lie saw the tears trickle between her white lingers. He began to wonder, and to feel uneasy. But the brave girl shook off her tears, and manned herself, if we may use such

an expression.

“Then, sir,’’ said she. slowly and emphatically. though quietly, “ifid you not think it strange that I should say to my father. * I don’t know?’ He asked me before you all. ‘Are you a wife-' Twice 1 said to mv father—to him I thought was my father—‘I don’t know.’ Can

you account for that, sir?”

The Colonel replied. “I was so unable to account for it that I took Julia Clifford's opinion on it directly, as we were

going home.”

“And what did she say?”

“Oh. she said it was plain enough. The fellow had forbidden you to own the marriage, and you were an obedient wife; and, like women in general, strong against other people, but w eak against

one.”

“So that is a woman's readingof a woman.” said Grace. “She will sacrifice her honor, and her father's respect, and court the world's contempt, and sully herself for life, to suit the coiivenienc’e of a husband for a few hours. Mv love is great, but it is not slavisli or silly. Do you think, sir, that 1 doubted for one moment Walter Clifi'ord would own me when he came home and heard what 1 had suffered? Did I think him so unworthy of my love as to leave me under that stigma? Hardly. Then whv should 1 blacken Mis. Walter Clifford for an afternoon, just to be iinhlaekciied at

night?”

“This is good sense.” said the Colonel, “and the thing is a nivstcrv. Can you

solve it?”

“V on may be sure I can, and—woe is

me—I must.”

She hung her head, and her hands

worked eonvulsiveh.

“These are dark words.” said the Colonel. “How anil to understand them?” “Dark as they are.” said Grace, “do they not explain my conduct in that latter trial better than Julia Clifford's guesses do. better than anything that

has occurred since?”

“Mrs. Walter Clifford.” said the Colonel. with a certain awe. “I see there is something very grave here, and that it affects my son.

aged to hide his corpse till the slack got low, and then they brought him up at night and chucked him like a dog on to the smouldering coal; one half of him was charred away when Monckton found him, hut his face was yet untouched. Two sturdy miners Walked to and fro as si-niinels, armed with hammers, and firmlv resolved that neither law nor gospel should interfere with this horrible example. Even Monckton, the man of iron nerves, started hack with a cry of dismay at the sight and the smell. (hie of the miners broke intoahoarse, uneasy laugh. “You needn't to skirl, ohj man.” he cried. “Yon's not a man; he's iinbbut a murderer. He’s tired t' mine and made widows and orphans by t'score.” “Ay,” said the other; “hut there’s a worse villain behoind, that found V brass for C job, and tempted this one. We'll catch him yet; ah, then we'll not trouble judge, nor jury, nor hangman needier.” “The wretches!” said Monckton. “What! fire a mine! No punishment is enough for them.” With this sentiment he retired, and never went near the mine again. He wired for a pal of his, urn! established him al the Hun • aw. These two were inconstant coimunnication. Monckton's friend was a very clever gossip, and knew howto question without seeming curious, and the gossiping landlady helped him. So. between them, Monckton heard that Walter was down with a fever and not expected to live, and that Hope was coniined to his bed and believed to he sinking. Encouraged bythis stateof tilings, Monckton made many artful preparations and resolved to lev y a contribution unoii Colonel Clifford’. At this period of his mana’iivres fortune certainly befriended him wonderfully; he found Colonel Clifford alone, and likely to lie alone; and, at the same time, prepared by Grace Clifford's halfrevelation and violent agitation to believe the artful tale this villain came to

tel! him.

“?*“■' w '’‘ and tbis i not the fir I time 1 have given this information m confidence. Mrs. Walter CLfford, who is a kind-hearted woman, ami has long 1 ceased ,,, anlVei , eriv I band s desertion, requested me to w arn a young lady, whose i-uiue was Miss Man Barth -. of this tact. I did. so, and showed her the certificate. >he was very much digressed, and no wonder. Lor she was reported to tie engaged to Mr. \\ alter < 1 fiord; but I explained to M iss Bartley I hat there was tm ii alotisy, hostility, or bitterness in the matter; tiie only object was to save her from being bctraveil into an illegal act. and one that w ould bring ruin upon hcrself.r.nd a severe penalty upon Mr. Walter Clif-

ford.”

Colonel Clifford turned verv pale, hut he merely said, in a lioarsc vo:< e. “Go

I laid at all events saved an iiuii'i cut girl from tempting Mr. Waiter Ciiii rd to his dost met-on attd ruining herself. I -ay. I thought and hoped so. But it seemed now that the young lady lias defied ilie warning, and has manned vour son after all. Mrs. Walter Clifford has heard oL.it in Derby. and she is naturally surprised, an.1 I ;i:u afraid she is now some-

what incensed.”

“Before we go nny further, sir.” said Colonel (Tfi'iizii. “i should like to n e the rertilimti you say you showed to
