A TERRIBLE MISTAKE.

Idyl Montgomery, after extinguishing the light in the boudoir, stepped to the window and looked out upon the night. It was a frosty night in February, the ground was covered ‘with a thick coating of very light snow, which the moon-beams mingling with the glare of the street lamps, made very beautiful. N §

‘The hour wag late, aud Idyl would not have tarried‘a moment at the window had not a human figure across the street attracted her attention.

"~ Directly opposite her home lived her wealthy uncle, David Stagle. He was a bachelor, but.lived .grandly, with many servants, in the elegant mansion erected by 'a sm#ll portion of his great wealth, and Idyl loved himr above all her uneles, for he was kind to her. ' The old gentleman had few visitors, and, the most of them were business men. He was a sober,. methodical . person, who, when night came, put away the cares of the day and amused himself in his library until 10 o’clock. e

That hour had slipped by when Idyl Montgomery looked across the street and saw a figure emerge from her uncle’s house. !

At first sight there seemed nothing remarkable in this, but ‘the face and form of the man that caused her to start, foras he passed under the lamp bef(t)]re' the mansion, She saw and noted both." . 43 :

“What could he be doing there at this hour?” fell from Idyl’s lips, ‘and, not daring- to answer herself; she watched the man till he disappeared down the street. ; o

Then she crept, uneasy in mind, into bed, and thought of her unclé’s late visitor, till sleep shut her eyes and bore her to dreamland. ! T

In the person who had emerged from the bachelot’s home Idyl Montgomery recognized her accepted lover, Walter Clarke. He was a clerk in the bank of which her uncle was president, and bore an enviable reputation, both public and private. But the young girl had lately learned that the relations between clerk and president were not very amiable; in fact, the former had told her that he expected a discharge from the head of the institution. Therefore the girl might wonder at the late visit of clerk to president, and toss uneasily on her couch while thinking of it. = It was quite early the next morning when Idyl was- aroused by a vigorous thumping at her chamber door. Blushing at the thought that she had once overslept herself, she arose, and opening the portal, greeted the white face of her father. “Daughter, something very terrible happened last night,” he said in a voice that increased Idyl’s fright. “In the house across the way lies your Uncle David, murdered in cold blood.” : S

For a moment the girl stared at the speaker as if robbed of the power of speech ; but all at once she reeled from. him and sank to the floor in a fainting fit. o : . Restoratives were at once 'applied and she returned slowly to consciousness on her couch. Then the event of the night returned to her with such distinctness that she closed her eyes as if to shut it out;but it would not be driven away. &

After awhile she listened to the particulars of the finding of her murdered uncle; in his library at daybreak, with his cold face resting on the 1((1esk and a poignard wound in-the back. ; g Fo iy

The murderer had®left no traces of identity behind. -« o The servants had retired early, as was theil wont; but there were several who had heard the opening and closing of the library door after ten o’clock..- : co sl

The unsatisfactory evidence hurned on Idyl’s cheeks, and she thought of the man whom she had seen.emerge from the house so late on the tragie night. L

What! Had her lover entered the mansion and slain the honored President of the Commercial Bank? Did he take the poignard to secure himself the position whieh, to his credit be it said, be filled with honor? _, The thought tortured Idyl’'s brain as no thought had ever tortured it before, and all through the dreary February day she expected to hear of his arrest. But the night came without the expected news, and the young girl was standing alone in the parlor when a well-known rap on the deor caused her to start with an expression of pain on her white face. B

" Walter Clarke was on the step. Idyl opened the door to him and fastened her eyes upon him when he stood in the glare of the parlor lamp.

“'Fhis is terrible, Idyl,” were his first words. “The Commercial has lost its best president, and you one of the kindest relatives.” - :

She never took her eyes from him while he spoke, and there was accusation in herlook. 4 : “ It is dreadtful,” she answered slowly. “When did you hear it?” “At an eally hour this morning. I ‘'was at breakfast; and upon receipt of the intelligence, hastened to the scene of the tragedy. He, your uncle, was quite dead; the surgeons say that the dagger struck his heart. But whyam I telling you this, Idvl? You have heard it before, and my repetition will affright you anew, We, as you know, were not on very goed terms, but I bore him no ill-will, and:l feel that 1 have lost & benefactor, for your uncle made mie all that Tam.”> .

A oold smile wreathed her lips, and he shot her & look of perplexity which l?:'?et with a question that made him start. _ v :

- “What were you doing in‘ my uncle’s house last night ?” i by - 1t might have been her manner that paled his cheek, for all color suddenly left it, and he gazed at her several minutes before he made any reply. - “Last night?” he repeated, '“1I in your uncle’s house last night? * Why, Idyl, you must have been dreaming!” “ Oh, no; my eyes were wide open;” she said with determination. Idomot dream that I see men emerge from ‘houses in the ham%ed‘a:hours of ‘night. Last night, when T stood at my window andisaw you leave -my uncle’s house, I was not dreaming..No, Walter Clarke, I know ‘that I'saw you!— Tell me, was he dead when you left him in his library? Answer me, in the presence of your God and the woman who has promised to 'be your wifel?: - - sRI Y

Her voice was stern, yet full of bitterness; it was evident that the teirible accusation was rending hér heart—that all the happiness of her life was going out with her words,: -

“Idyl, are youmad ?” he cried, grasping her arm. “Upon the soul God has given me, I declare that I did not enter or leave: your ucle’s house last night.’- . ; [ A_ Idyl faced him with eyes fastened on his, as though she would look-thro’ them and read the secrets of his very heart, . o ;

“You have been dreaming, girl,” he continued drawing nearer her, “and oh! what a horrible dream: it has been! Come, Idyl, say that you did not see me in the flesh last night, standing on your dead uncle’s steps.” ,

“I cannot! J cannot!” she cried, slipping from him and staggering to:a sofa;, upon which she dropped with a groan of intense agony. “ Leave me, Walter,” she continued, with averted face, but with her hand waving him back: “For the loveof Heaven, and the adoration of Idyl Montgomery, go! Oh! would'to God that I had not drawn the curtains last night! for since then I have looked into a world of misery ; my life has been blighted, and my eyes have cursed its future existence. Go! go! leave me alone.” . .He stood in-the center of the room, with indescribable horror written: on his face, he looked like a mad man, and his white lips shook like aspen leaves as he sprang forward and grasped her arm. - ' ¢ : * “ddyl! ‘Idyl!l" I am-innocent!” he cried. “Tell me that I have the privilege of proving myself 50.” L “ You shall —only leave me — go!” she cried. “ T will keep the terrible secret.” Gy et

Then she buried her face deeper in the rich upholstering.of the sofa, and with a look of pity and overflowing with agony, he turned on his heel and left: the room. -

The closing of the door aroused her.

' “Gone!” she.cried, séeing him mot in the room. “Walter Clarke, was it for this moment that I was born? You can deceive and I must keep the' secret. My eyes were not closed—l was not dreaming when I saw you last night>standing on Uncle’s doorstep in the full glare of the gas. HoWw you left him is best known to you and your God; but I must believe ‘that you know more about poor Uncle Dayvid’s terrible taking -off than you will. - Prove yourself inndécent and drive this hell of lagony from the breast of the woman who' loves 'you . with her whole soul.” : She walked across the room with, the last sentence falling from her lips,’ and parted the curtains half mechanically. - !

The street lamps were burning brilliantly, and the air was® full of snowflakes that came airily down and filled the fdotprints of the pedestrians. Her. Uncle David’s house stood out in bold relief, silent now, for its owner lay dead in the great library, and the stillness of the grave seemed to enshroud its walis. - e

“Poor Uncle David!” sighed Idyl “One knows not when the grim monster is to come, or what shape he—” She paused abruptly, for the front door opened suddenly.and a man stepped out and halted on thestep. : | He was tall and well built, his body was enveloped in a heavy chinchilla overcoat, and he wore’ a rimless but costly winter cap on his head. His face—ah, it was the face that drove Idyl from the window with a cry of horror, and made her drop the lace curtains in her fright. 5 . Once before she had seen that man emerge from the house, and he stood revealed to her as her lover, Walter Clarke. . : : .

She could not be mistaken, for he had appeared in the cap and coat which had lately vanished with him from the parlor. o

All this had transpired in a minute of time, and the young girl returned to the window to see the man re-enter the house and close the door behind him, , S

“God give me the strength-to face him and discover the truth,” she said. “In the presence of dead Uncle David I will meet and settle the question of his guilt forever.” e She threw a shawl over her ‘head and took a tiny silver-mounted pistol from the marble-top mantle. It was a present from him, and she hid it beneath her shawl while she crossed the whitened street.

‘The body of the murdered man lay in the library, which could be reached from the front door without disturbing any other part of the house. The servants, with several exceptions, had retired, and the few who remained up were keeping vigils in the dimly-light-ed parlor. : e l Idyl entered at the front door on tip-toe, and saw a gleam of light in the library by means of the door,which stood slightly ajar, . S

She halted in the hall to summon all her courage for the task before lier, then opéned the portals of. the library and crossed the threshold. The gas over the dead bank president’s desk: was burning dimly, but in its light Idyl descried the outlines of a human figure that seemied to fill the arm-chair’ of 'the 'dead.” This figuré grew into distinctness while the girl régarded it,; and at last ‘she recognized the chinchilla overcoat and the cap.! ° o

-The man seeméd to be ,hunting for some valuable papers, for' hig hands’ ‘were hidden in a drawer by his side, but they were quickly withdrawn when Idyl’s voiee.fell upon his ear, ! “Walter Clarke, I’ve caught you!” she said. = ik 4 ‘

The man turned quickly, wheeling in his chair, and showed Idyl a face which was the counterpart of her lovers. . Ejeens L e ;

The siglit caused her to shrink bark, but she did not lose her self<possession.. ‘ 5 ki

“Well,” said the man, “what do you! want with me?” and with the last word he was rising to his feet: = .1 “Sit down!” commanded the girl, asthe pistol flashed from beneath the aha“lv’l. “The officers of the law want | you.!
