Next morning Mr. Woodruf was not able to leave hxs bed, which seemed xery strange, as the day before he sat up almost the entire day. When Arthur spoke of going awy he insisted upon his remaining until he was better. To which Arthur consented Terr re Inctantly, for he was anxious to get away from the one he knew was ever ready tofjtonipt bina to rain. During the day Madam Reek found time to pay Gertie a short visit, much to that lady's disappointment; for she had hoped to keep the fair nurse sereral days or weeks, if iosible. They had much of Interest to say to each other and no time was wasted in idis gossip. "You eay that uncle is a great deal worse this morning?' a?ked Gertie. "Yes, and has asked for your husband. Tell him to come as soon as he returns home. Good bye." The little woman in black was toon in her place at the bedside of the sick man. Sh was never idle a moment but always found t ometning to do for her patient. He would often look up into her face with a thoughtful smi'e for something she had done for his comlort. Once he ventured to ask her to remove her glasses for a moment, that he might see her eyes. He thought they must be lull of lore and sympathy for every one; but she refused, saying they were too weak to be exposed to the light for oca instant; he believed her and was satisfied. It was not long after Madam Hees: returned to the Hall before lr. Grey arrived. He was met at the door and escorted to the sick cv amber by Lina. She treated him as though he were her dearest friend, smiling graciously at evexy remark he made, and seemed very anxious about ner husband's illness. After Dr. Grey examined the patient, he asked Madam Heek to accompany him into ifce next room. Lina stepped forward as if were roing to follow them, but the Doctor had closed the door after he had passed cnt. "Will you please ro tell me exactly what 1'. ThoTDton and Dr. Boazaaid of Mr. Woodrut's caseT the Doctor asked, looking steadily Into the face of the nurse. "I have promised to keep their secret, but to you it can make no difference. They were both of the opinion that he had bden lolfoned M That is exactly my opinion. Have you found cause to suspect any particular person?'' I hav watched very closely, but have seen nothing." she answered, evasively. Who t no with him last night " "Mrs. Woodruf." "Alone?" uYr, !?r "Ab, that accounts for thi sudden relapse. This must not, shall not occur again." "Do you mean to say that she?" "I mean to say that she is trying to kill her husband." Interrupted Dr. Grey. Than why does ahe not kill him at once, ard prevent him from suffering so much?"' "Woa'd you rather she would do that? he administered poison in small doses, so a to avert suspicion. Naturally, one dying after a lingering illness no one thinks of his having been poisoned. Madam Reek, I am in possession or the details connected with Xica Wood ml' a put and present as well, or, perhaps, better, than vou are. To-night she must be left alone again with him, and a strict watch kept over her." "Yoa mast allow me to aid you, Dactar." 'Then retire to this room early. If yoa

can not accomplish it aay otbar way, on plain ot a urvtre headache I will ra ua n out ia the bah natil everyone hure;irl then steal in her sjftiy. I hava iu Jub; tut that she will try to aceornplUl bar hall isb crime to-night." "Hut Arthur; what is to ba dous with him? I beard Mr. Wosdrnf ask him to rlünin with him to night." "I had not thought of him," he answare 1. in a voice which snowed how disappointed he felt.Dr. Grey, we must let him into ear secret He tuest know the true character of the woman he has dishonored himself bj luirg" "A man who would act aa he has can have to honor " "You are wroa. Doctor, for he has seen his tolly and re.-olted to do better." , Then I w h tll him toeiCQ39 himself in Mjme way to Mr. Woodruf, when be sees me -ctr. God grant that we may find out the truth to night." lie-entering the sick chamber, tney found L?ca leaning a faction ate !y over her husband, gently bathing his face and moistening his parched Pps. She was ignorant of the trap set for her destructioi. Had she known it she would have acted differently. Her face was fluihed, and she was nervous and excitable. Toward evening she confessed to feeling greatly worried ever her hutband's condition, and Madam Keek noticed her take a glass of wine several times. She was evidently preparing herself for the termination of her foul crims. How strange it Is that and JJraortal bains can meditate the killing of a fel ow-creaiare, yet it is done day after day in the very face of the hangman and his rope. Dr. Gry met Arthur in the park, as he left the boll, and revealed to him his suspicion ahd his plan of detecting the criminal. It seemed to Arthur, as he walked back to the Hall, that a mist had been suddenly lifted from before his eyes. He now knew whv Lina asked him if he would marry her if she were free before he married Meta Not a thought or suspicion ever entered his mind of her trying to kill her coble husband. But be now remembered every little incident, almot every word and action of, hers since he first came to Woodruf Hall at Christmas. He went directly to his room, refusing to go down stairs to tea, spying he was not fef ling well, and would not be able to make his appearance in the sick chamber that evening, it it were possible to do without him. Lina was cot sorry, as she did not want Artl ur to see her in her present excited conation. About 10 o'clock Dr. Grey came in, but left in a few moments. Madam Heek complained of a severe headache, and retired to her room, to Mr. Woodrui's great disappointment, as he wanted ner near him always. "I can scarcely bear for you to leave m even for one moment, Madam, as your presence seems to relieve me," he said, ai she turned to leave him. "As I am not far away, I will come when you need ire, if you call," she said as she entered Lina's dreseinp-rooni, which bad been converted into a sleeping rooai. Mr. Woodrul'a eyes followed her until the car tains dropped after her. He loved the gentle manners and sweet smile of the woman in blacx. Lina donned a thick wrapper and hid down beside her husband. He was restless and could cot sleep; when he closed his eyes all kinds of hideous visions seemed to pats before them. About midnight Lina arose and wanted to give him an opiate she said the doctor had left for him to take in case he was restless. At first he refused to take it, but, alter a great deal of persuasion, consented. Meanwhile Dr. Grey, Arthur and Madam Eeek bad stealthily entered the adjoining room, and were listening attentively to the conversation in the sick chamber, and through the lace curtains could watch, un observed, every movement Lina made. Madam Reek requested her companions to allow her to enter the room first, In case Mrs. Woodruf attempted to commit the crime, and be the accuser, to which they both consented willingly. They waited until midnight, and when Lina arce to mix the opiate, Dr Grey and Madam Heek bcth knew that the white powder she was mixing was Doison, and that no time must be lost "In heaven's name, sir, do not drink that it is poison! Your wife is trying to kill jeu!" the fair nurse said, rushing into the room. "You lie! this ia an opiate," returned Lina. "It is false, and I will prove it!" said Mtdani Reek, securing the poison. "Tnen you. being his nurse, will be bl tired for allowing poison to lay where one might mistake it for medicine." "1 am his nurse; but I am also his daughter," she answered, throwing aside her gray wig and glasses. "Meta, my darling child, was.it you with me all this time?" "Yes, dear papa, but be quiet,'' she said, kissing him fondly. "Thank God you have saved me." "Yes, I have tried hard, and God has blessed my efiort," "Clive, I swear to you that I am innocent. If this is poison I did not know it." ' She is telling a falsehood, as she has done to often. Fiend, steD into your sitting-room and you will there find more witnesses than you are willing to appear before.' Lina placed the glass containing a part of the poison to her own lips, and would have swallowed U, but with one bound Arthur was by her side and dashed the glass from her h8cd to the floor. 4 Curse yon, Arthur Draden; you have not acted wisely. Whatever my past has baen, I row hateyou as I do Met Woodruf." "I am glad I have found out your true character. You have not only stooped to deceive you husband, but hive also tried to take his life, and would have met with success, had not the roole woman yon hate so bitterly prevented it. God have mercy on jou, for I have none." "Nor do I ask it of yon. It is your fault ihst I am what you see me. I believe firmly and truly that you alone will have to answer for my sins at the day of j ndgment, if there is such. Meanwhile, Clive, what do you intend doing with your deyoted wife?" "Take her away, Arthur; she is nothing more to me." "Lina Woodruf, you are my prisoner until n orning; you may rest in the next room till then. 1 will guard you. Come, the man you have so shamefully disgraced is too weak to bear any more excitement," Arthur said, takinc her arm and leading her into the cozy sitting room, which a few short months before she had entered an unhappy bride, but which was now to be her prison until daybreak or until otlicers arrived to take her away from Woodrnf Hall, nnlesa her husband was willing to allow her to go unpunished. Lina clenched ber fists and grated her teeth, but would say nothing except to be allowed to write a letter to a friend. Arthur allowed her to go to her desc for writing material, which she secured and returned to the table: but he did cot see what she placed in her bosom, so quickly was it done. We will now leave her to the care of her for -ner lover, but who now hated her so bitterly, and return to the next room. The excitement had been too much for Mr. Wood ruf s feeble strength, and he had fainted. Dr. Grey and Meta Madame Reek no longer, but still the devoted nurse were doing all in their power to restore him to consciousness. When he opened his eyes the first word he uttered, was his daughter's

name: that devoted daujhtsr aaJ dith wa for two long months hid remained by hij bedside, never complainin or growing weary, but ever ready to wai; upoa her p tient and father. eo.Nri:.'Ui! to jioew. A WEARY TRAjII.

A Italian Hefagee'a Flight Acron the Snom of Siberia. l?an Fraucisco Cali.1 The water front reporter was weary. H-? had epent the greater part of the aftarnoon in a valuable search for news, of which taere was an alarming scarcity. The virgin pae of his note bock was as yet unsullied br blur of the pencil. He bad just coaoe to ttie unsatisfactory conclusion that the day wan unpiopitions one for inquisitive newspaper men, when he met an old friend in the person of Captain Brown, master of a wbalintr bark lately returned from a cruisj in the Northern teas. After the usaal greetings were over, the scribe requested the Captain to detail some account of his last voyrge. "You must have had some startling adventure," he said persuasively. "Well, shiver me, it would be a dall whaling season if we didn't," replied the Captain alwly, as he lit a pipe which he had been filling, and took a seat upon the top of a pile, "but this season we had a very uncommon one. I wish we were aboard the bark, I've got a man there who could tell you the story better than I can He's a Russian, but he palavers pretty good Kahsh. We left here lait December, and of course headed for the north. As you kno v, the season just closed has been an almighty light one. I never saw whales so scary. It was well on toward March before we muck our firt. Ia t iis latter part of March, and when we were about twenty miles to the northwest of the Fox Islands, the incident I am about to tell of occurred. One night I wasarue i from my sleep by my mate, who, as soon as I cime out, tout me tuat the watch reortsd cri-s, evidently human, trom the windward. The cries had been ssveral times repeated. I listened with the mate, and it wa3 not long before I heard what sounded lite a lon?drawn 'Hullo o-o-o.' Hew far away it wai we could not reckon, as the northern air is clear and very deceptive, slight sounds baing heard for miles sometimes. I made a trumpet of my hands and returned the cries, receiving responses. Who or what the unknown hailer was I could not imagine, as in the direction Iroai whence they cacae I knew was the oosn sea. We could see nothing, as the night was pitchy dark. Whoever it was. I kae.v that they could see our lights and would re uaia in the vicinity until morning. All through the night the cries were heard at intervals. In the gray of the morning we sa v a strange locking boat about half a mile from us. and in it was a tili stranger looking object, which stood upright, making motions. It looktd like a thaggy bear, bat we knew it was a man, and immediately put otf a boat. He was brought aboard, and oa reaching the deck fell down and wai unable to move, being exhausted from cold and exposure. We removed his heavy far covering and chafed his limbs, and after restoring the circulation and bringing him aroui.d gave him warm drinks. Soon he was enabled to tell his story. He said his came was Timor Bouflosky, by birth he was a Russian, but had spent the last serea years in exile in the mines cf Siberia, having been sent there on suspicion of being a nihilist. Driven to desperation by the inhuman treatment to which he had been subjected at the mines, he took advantage of the first opportunity otfered to make himself scarce there. He spent nearly nine months, as near as he cold reckon, in wanderinc over the bleak and barren country, eubsisting on whatever he could find. Sometimes he met with hospitable tribes who treated him well. He was bent on reaching the seashore if possible, and there trusting to luck to being able to set aboard some vessel The hardships which he endured on thi3 traaip were terri b!e. At last he reached ths seashore in a half-starved condition, no food having passed his lips tor two days. The sea shore was even more barren and b!ak than the country through which he had traveled. The jagged rocks among which he searched for shell-fish cut his clothin? and tiesh in a horrible manner. His clothing now consisted of furs, with which he had been supplied by a nomadic tribe into whose clntches he had fallen. He lived on fish and roots for many days, all the time crawling along the coast in search of a habitation. Whether he wa going north or eonth he knew not and cared little. At night he slept in clefts of rocks. One morning he was awakened by a series of strange voices. Oa opening his eyes he saw a dozen or more dark' fa:es peering over the rocks at him. They were natives, clad, like himself, in skins. He saw they were inclined to be friendly, ;ind made signs to show that he was hungry by r.ointicg toward his mouth. They grinned and motioned for him to follow tbf m. After a long walk they came to an encampment of about thirty tents, spread on the shore at the very brink: of the surf. The natives treated him wtll. They gave him a large bowl of warm drink made out of willow leaves and saxifrage. He was also glal enough to put himtelf outside of a huge piece of w alius flesh. There were several of the natives or Ksquimaux, as I guess they were, who could patter a few wordi of broken English, which they had learned from the whalers and other Europeans with whom they had come in contact during their trading excur.-ions. Well, to make a 1oe2 story sfcort, as the saying is, he stopped with these natives for a long time. He does not remember exactly how long, as he lost all treck of ti Tie. He learned their gutteral latgr.a;e, and final y married one of the women of a sub cnief, or :i sort of half lord who owned a good nuny dogs and reindeer. He was also set up in life by his father-in-law . presenting him with a drove of dogs and a couple of sleighs. With these he accompanied the natives into the interior on their tradiDg excursions with other tribes. He became an expert beal fisher. Their fishing nets were made of fine cut strips of seal hide, netted with a three inch niesh. Oae day a misfortune occurred which cast him again adrift. The women of the tribe, he said, were in the habit cf going out along the beach and gathering shellfish, and marking any colony of seals or walruses which had escaped the notice of the men. From one of these excursions Timor s wife failed to return, though he did from a fishing trip down the coast. Search was made, and his wife was found lying dead on the shore, with a spear, such m they use, through her heart. "When Timor came back, was seized and accused by his father-in-law of the murder, he denied it. but it was of no use, and the natives, after holding a meeting, determined to turn him away, assuring him that he got oil lucky with his life. They placed him in a skin beat, with a small quantity of rancid walrus meat and some dned willow leaves, and set him a 11 oat, threatening that if he returned he would be killed. He drifted on the open tea, and at the mercy of the elements, fcr nearly twenty days. His provisions ran out and starvation stared him in the face, when he sighted the light of our ship. A more gratified man, when we brought him around, I never saw." On what part of the Siberian coast do
