CHAPTER XIX.
ESCAFXD!
"By clinging to her murderer lover, and by following Dr. Alworth mercilessly with vengeful persecution"—so ran ttie legend—Helen Princeton had alienated all her friends.
Mrs. Lsngworthy took advantage of the general defection to crush her only rival.
She took Grace Al worth under her especial patronage, and descanted no less loudly on her many virtues than on her wrongs.
Under this lead, Fanny Morton came in for a »bare of public sympathy, and Jim McFadden was looked upon somewhat in the light of a hero.
On this, Helen looked quietly. If they did not believe in Harry'B innocence, they might all go. For Mrs. Langworthy's petty triumphs she cared noth-
"hi her desolation, Helen had made one friend. Mr. Bradsireet, Look Sharp's rartner, was a round-bellied, roundfaced, round-eyed, little old gentleman, who seemed always chuckling and shaking like a bowl of jelley, and always in imminent danger of strangulation, so violent was tae protest of his asthma against the gambols of the imp of mirth that possessed him.
Mr. Bradstreet was a walking encyclopedia of law, but, as Look said, "wild in evidence, and as innocent a* a babe unborn:" Look, being "up to tricks," constituted himself Pop Bradstreet's governor and balance-wheel, and the two jogged ou very comfortably together.
When Mr. Bradstreet sat with bis gold-bowed spectacles on his bald head, his elbows on the arms of his chair, his hands clasped placidly over his "corpo ration," and his feot, with their gray checked gaiter-tops, resting on the floor dose together and exactly when he sat thus, smiling ..... Helen, and saw her face all alight with enthusiasm and loving confidence, and heard the clear ring of her voice, with lis Impassioned eloquence in defense of her lover, he said to himself: "Bless me! I believe she's right! but if the yoting dog Is to be hanged for an other man's crime, it's almost worth it to have auch a defender!"
When, fresh from a discussion with Look, he trotted back to the officer taking three steps to a woman's one, with one hand dangling the seal on his watch-fob, and the other thrust beneath the skirts of bis "swallow-tall," coat, from the pockets of which protruded sundry papers and a red silk handkerchief, he would inutter: "It Is astonishing !—as-ton-ish-ing!— what a hold that red-handed murderer has over the finest women in this 1
Helen, of course, saw him only when he was under her spell and lookln upon him as the only one who believe with her in Harry's innooence. it was natural that she should turn to him for assistance in her scheme for ejecting the escapo of her lover. "Mr. Bradstreet," she said to him, one dav, "if you believe that, by a concurrence of circumstance for which no one was to blame, a monstrous wrong was about to be done, and that, by breaking a certain statutory law, Involving no moral principle in itself considered, you could prevent that wrong, and at the same time prejudice the interests of no one would you break tbat law
The little old gentleman opened \m eve* voryjwldo and looked at her with a iHrfect comprehension of what she wa* meditating then he contracted them until thev twiukled shrewdly, and wagging his hand at her, as if warning her otT he said "Sh!—sh !—sh! my dear. Ask me no such questions. Oo to Look! g» to Look he is getting well. That is in his department—to break the law! it is my business to go after that sly rascal ant mend it. I gather tho nieces, and cun ningly cement here, ana turn that side from the light, and If you would swear it had never been broken at all!'
Helen accented this hint, and together they sought Look's place of abode. Here Is our interesting convalescent" said Pop Bradstreet, ushering Helen into the slttjng-»oni. where Look, In drew-ing-gown and slippers occupied a rock-ing-cbair near the window, and was discovered meditatively stirring a whisky toddv, which sat on a table at his elbow. "Jlh? Miss Princeton Impossible!" cried Look, beaming with surprise and curiosity as well as pleasure. "Indeed, the gods are propitious! Miss Princeton, I owe ynu an apology for not being prepared to* receive you. "My dear," to his timid little wife, who was flustered out of all self-pooaca sion, wbv don't yon place a seat for the lady Tip the papers off that chair and dust It. "If this was only wine, Miss Princeton——"
Miss Princeton set him at ease, and In a minute's time she was in private conference with him, while Pop Bradstreet entertained Mrs. Sharp in another room in his own peculiar way.
The interview lasted, parhaps, half an hour, and just when Mrs. Sharp became so saturated with curiosity tbat she wanted to strangle Pop Bradstreet and put her ear to the key hole of the sittingroom door,Helen emerged,looking flushand eager. "I *ll right." shebegan.
Pop Bradstreet interrupted: "Sh £—«h !—«h Ot course it laall right. Then why discus* It "Mrs. sharp— «t admirable Mrs. Sharp!—we bid jvtt good-mo ring."
He opened the »r tor Helen to pre* cede him, and when she had passed through he turned again.
We tender our devotion to one wbo ia an ornament to bar sex. Once, more, excellent Mrs. Sharp, adieu!
He kissed his hand to her with a profound bow, and tben trotted aft«r Helen, chuckling softly to himself.
Mrs. Sharp was called from the old gallant by a thumping on the table in the next room, and a voice calling: "Maria! Maria!"
Whea she raa to her lord, he cried
"Pat me back to bed immediately! I I have taken a violent relapse! I

a
critical condition, and can see nobody, not even the doctor! Do you hear Get me back to bed at oncet"
Mrs. Sharp looked bewildered. Her husband seemed suddenly awakened to vigorous health, rather than thrown back into the dangerous state he des-
C"£?nine
on her shoulder (for he was
vet weak,) Look regained his bedroom, where he made the mystified woman stand just before him, while he lectured her from the pillows among which he was bolstered. ... ••Maria," he said, "did you ever hear about Blue Beards wives Yes Well, that legend illustrates an eternal truth —Curiosity, thy name is woman! -Now, Maria, here is an impenetrable mystery, which must remain an impenetrable mystery to you till the day^of vour death, and perhaps afterward.
You niust do just as I telfyou, without question, without comment—above all, without investigation. If you were to succeed In penetrating this mystery, yon would behold a spectacle far more terrible than tbat which froze the blood of the beautiful but misguided Fatima,and it would not turn out so lucky for you as it did in her case. That, my dear, is the esseutial difference between fact and fiction. Nothing ever ends well in real life "Now, listen! To all inquiring friends I am too ill to see any one. I have had a relapse, you understand—a dangerous relapse. To the doctor, I am restored to suchriotous good health—to such rosy vigor of manhood—by his pills and powders, that be need call no more. His little bill he will, of course, take out in advice when occasion shall require. "And now, mv dear, the wnisky, the sugar, and a fres'h daught from nature's sparkling fountain."
The plot was evidently thickening. Look Suarp began a strange life. He lived in the secludon of his room during the day, and when he grew strong enough began to take exercise in the open air at night.
On the night of the 15th of May he left his home and the city, onfoot! His carpet bag, slung over his shoulder by an umbrella. He was disguised so that his nearest friend would not have known
Two days later he stood in a liverystable flfty miles from home, in the dress of a well-to-do gentleman, yet still disguised with a pair of green spectacles and a false mustache, which might have braved the light of day. "I wish a horse and carriage for four or live days, or a week," he said and as I am a stranger to you I P1"0!*?8® pay vou in advance, and deposit the value of your property with the clerk oi the hotel where I its safe return.
Helen removed her hat. veil, shawl and dress. Harry took off his coat and vest, and assumed Helen's dress, purposely made large, together with an extra sUii whieh Helen bad been thoughtful enough to provide, that his dress might hang properly, as she explained to him, when he laughingly asked the utility of the last garment to himself. Her shawl, hat and veil followed, and the transformation was complete.
Helen secreted her lover's vest among the bed-clothes, as there was no use in her wearing St, but donned his coat to aid in the deception. She then took his place on the cot.and was covered up, in readiness for the return of the jailer.
Effectually disguised, Harry began to walk back and forth in the narrow limits of the cell, both to get accustomed to the management ot his unfamiliar costume, and to receive the last criticisms upon his gait and general carriage.
Then came the parting between the lovers, since they would have no opportunity after the appearance of the warden.
The pen falters over that sacred scene. Who can describe the eloquence of look, the tenderness of tone, the pathos of caress! Whst curious eyes would look upon a heart unveiled at such a moment! What prying ear would bend to catch each anxious charge, each pledge, each sigh, when heart beats against heart, and lip is wedded to lip, perhaps never again to meet ou earth
When the warden appeared, be fonnd the prisoner wholly covered with the bed-clothes, except one arm, which was thrown above bis head, the hand hidden beneath the pillow.
The wrinkles in the pillow-case showed that the hand which could not be seen bad gripped it with a clutch of desperation. Beside the cot knelt a black-draped figure, and from the folda of the veil issued low, tremulous sobs.
Deeply touched, the homage all involuntarily pay to beauty in distress, the warden walked to the end of the corridor and back, to give her time to compose herself.
When he returned, she stood ready. He cast but one glance *t the motionless figure obecurely outlined beneath the bra-clothes, ana again shot the bolts back Into their place.
The seeming woman waited for him to precede her down the corridor, as was ber custom. She looked so crushed with grief that be broke through his wonted reserve, and said, with much fading in look and tone:
Madam, may I assist you to your carfith my arm ink you, no," she replied, In a low
riage with my arm "Thank you, no," she rep! tremulous tone: and as if her self conthe effort, her a succession of broken sobs, half smothered In her bund kerchief behind her veih

On the 19th [day of May, Helen ob talned permission to visit Harry in the evening, and again early on the tnorningof the fatal 20th, to stay with him unt 1 he was led away to death.
In the evening she presented herself at the prison, draped In the deep mourning which she had worn ever since her father's death, and which was now to be the means by which the success of her plot was possible. All outlines of figure were lost iu the nun-like drapery. "You will be uninterrupted for an hour, Miss Princeton," Baid the warden, kindly, as he admitted her. "I am sorry that fcanndf-giVe youmore time but, of course, our rules have to be rigidly observed, and I can not go beyona the permit."
She thanked him almost lnaudibly, and he saw her kneel at Harry's cot saw him throw the blanket from his head and look at her with bloodshot eyes and disordered hair. He looked the picture of a man whose soul was chilled ty the shadow of the gallows. "Women are a queer lot," mused the warden, as be left them* "How the deuce she ean believe him innocent,with that look on bis face, beats me! He'd been ravin1 mad by this time, if it wasn't for her, and I don't know but he'll go crrzy before morning, as it is!"
He would have changed his mind had he seen what took pi ace "in the cell within a minute after he left it.

agony of suspense he had endure J, Harry Tranor sank back upon thecu?- .- ions, and breathed, as he felt himttrtf borne rapidly away, the untainted air of freedom With his hands pressed hard over his eyes, he thought of the devoted woman be had *eft to pass the night in the solitude of his cell.
A feeling of self-reproach mingled with the love and gratitude with which his keart went out to her, thongb be knew that it was, as she had said, easier for her to endure this tnan to lose him so.
The carriage stopped in a by-street. The coachman opened the door, and
alighted and walked away with
out a word. Glancing over hissboulder, he saw the coachman drive slowly homeward, louSftig curiously back after his supp'»8d mistress.
A ten minutes' walk brought H»" ry to awaiting carriage, which he entei ea without explanation, the driver, vidently, being already instructed in uis duty. Then the spirited horses ere given the rein, and aashed away lik. the wind.
In this carriage Harry found a large satchel, from wnich he took a complete outfit of clothing, even to boots and bat. Stripping himself of everything he Had worn in the prison, he ressea him-elf anew, while the carriage was in mot..»n.
Into his pocket be slipped a sihermounted revolver, which he had foi iid beneath the seat in Helen's carriage, tor she bad provided him with the uiti»ns of self-protection, even to the taking of life, il necessary.
And here we will leave him, safely started in his escape.
CHAPTER XX. HAKGMAX'8 DAY.
The fatal 20th of May! In the east appeared a segment of faint illumination, which widened until the whole heavens were alight. All the u.elodious sounds and sweet scents vith which nature greets her waking child ion
came
with the breaking day. Then, ap from his ceuch leaped the glad sun, proclaiming "Peace on earfh, good will to men!"
Into half-curtained windows he peeped, and his beams rested with caressing touch on flossy hair, and cheek glowing with the flush of health. Through tht broken pane he looked compassionately in upon the face pinched with hunger or wan with pain.
Even the gray walls of the prison bo sought to warm but when his beams fell upon the hideous structure that roBt in the market-place, they cast beyond it a horrid shadow like a skeleton hand.
In the presence of that terrible device, which had risen during the night, like theconjuration of some malignant fiend, the gland sounds of bustling life sank into awed silence. Men gazed upon it, and shuddering, turned away.
Streaming in from the surrounding country, came vehicles of every description, the faces of their occupants—men, women, and even children—alight with a os it ha ha of vi in it and all gravitated toward the ghastly engine of death, drawn thither by its terrible fascination.
Then, with the Increase of the crowd, grew the fever of expectancy and every eye burned and every pulse thrilled with an unholy excitement.
In the midst of it all came peal on peal of alarm from the prison-bell and every one in the thronged market-place turned to his neighbor, and asked what it meant.
The warden of the prison was by no means an early riser. It was eight o'clock when he appeared at breakfast, While dallying with his egg-spoon and glancing lazily over the morning paper, word was brought to him that some one of the prisoners must be in distress, judging from the sounds which proceeded from the north ward. Saying that he would attend to the matter directly, he finished his break fast at his leisure, before taking down the ponderous keys to Investigate.
When nis own ears had heard the sounds, his indifference gave place to surprise. "A woman's voice!" he muttered, and quickened his step.
Then, when he gained the cell from which the sounds proceeded, and saw a wan face, surrounded by a profusion of long, brown bair, in the place of famili
Tip
the
iar countenance of the prisoner who was to be banged that day at twelve, he leaped forward and caught the tossing arm with a cry. "Escaped!" "Escaped! Escaped!" repeated the delirious woman in a hoarse whisper. "Don't speak so loud, Harry, or thev will hear you. Fly! fly! my love, to life and happiness."
As if acting on her words, the warden rushed from the cell, crying as he ran: "Ring the alarm bell! The prisoner has escaped!"
Then came the sonorous clang, crying out to heaven that justice had been cheated of her prey.
The wildest excitement spread through the crowded town, and exaggerated and strangely distorted stories were bandied from
to lip but one fact all had alike
—the murderer had been assisted to escape by the daughter of his victim. fierce, vengeful mutterings swelled to wordy denunciation, and groans of execration sounded around the jail, to which the crowd had surged.
Jim McFadden was haranguing from a cart, and some of the more violent were urging him on.
The officers of the law had gone systematically to work to retrieve the blunder that had cost them their prisoner. The telegraph was set in operation, and the hundred-handed genius of the law lay in wait at every point.
Then Helen Princeton'acoachman was sought. It was found that she had given the regular functionary a vacation of a few days, in which to visit his friends in the country and that his place had been filled by a stolid groom, who bad not wit enough to be trusted in such a scbemft.
He said that, before entering the prison, his mistress had handed him a piece of paper, which she charged him to place in the hand of the housekeeper immediately on his return. She then told him that when she came from the prison ha must drive her to the corner of High and West streets, where she would alight, leaving him to drive home without her. These orders be executed to the letter, and here his knowledge ended.
The note to the housekeeper ran: "Yon need not expect me home tonight. Pray refrain from questioning the groom, as you know I dislike goasip. Let everything go mi as if I was home."
Meanwhile, the story that Helen bad tffen found delirious nad spread to the cars or Lawyer Conway and Dr. Alwortb, and they who had loved her so truly, forgetting all cause of estrangement and remembering only ber present helplessness, hastened to her aid. The two gentlemen met at the prison, and each reading the thought of the other by looking oack upon his own heart, clasped bands in alienee.
On the part of Lawyer Oonway, it was a mute appeal for forgirenews for having brought the doctor under the terrible
ISIS
Pll
suspicion of murder, which Dr. Alwortb as mutely ascorded. Their love for the same woman was a bond of union between them.
Helen had been removed from the cell to that portion of the prison inhabited by the warden atd his family.
Iogether the lawyer and doctor entered the chamber, the one as her one-time guardian and the friend of her father, the other in his professional capacity.
They had been anticipated by old Pop Bradstreet, who sat beside the bed holding the invalid's hand, and soothing her in a fatherly way.
Seeing Lawyer Conway and Dr. Alworth, Helen became excited, and ahrinking closer to the old lawyer who had in a manner taken the place of Mr. Conway, she cried: "Sena them away, Mr. Bradstreet! Oh, don't let them come near me! They believed that Harry was guilty. The one plotted against nim ana the other deserted him. See! they are together! They have come to find out where he is. No, no, no! I will never tell you. Go away! go away!"
The lawyer and doctor were equally pained. The former would have tried to reason with her and assure her of his friendship but the latter knew the futility of such an attempt, and so drew the old man away. Sadly they went, the younger man consoling the elder.tbough his own heart stood sadly in need of a comforter.
Helen's family physician entered soon after, pronounced her in brain fever, and ordered her immediate removal to her own home.
A close carriage was procured. When it became apparent that it was to be driven into the prison yard, its purpose was divined and the crowd hooted dismally. When it emerged again it was snrrounded by policemen, who beat the crowd back and compelled them to desist from following it. Then the district around Helen's house was patrolled by police, and those who gathered in knots were dispersed.
It was weeks before Helen had con* vaiesced sufficiently to admit of her talking on the theme her anxiety about which had retarded her return to health and then she lay among the pillows as helpless as a little child, while kindly old Pop Bradstreet grasped her attenuated hand, and witn tears in his eyes said: "You have saved him, and by Heaveu I'll save you!" You shan't lie in prison a day, for the noblest action a woman ever did! They shan't get chance to convict you until all this excitement has blown ovei and when they do convict you, your pardon shall be In the hands of the officers before you have reached the prison door! Bless you! if you were only my daughter how proud I should feel of you!" "Do you think that he will escape entirely?" she asked. "No doubt ot it! Cleverest trick I ever saw! Ha, ha, ha! Pulled the wool over the eyes of the best and sharpest of 'em, by Jove!" "Mr. Bradstreet, I've wanted to ask— did I say anything while I was delirious which might serve as a clew?" "Not a syllable! You kept going over —ha, ha, ha! It would make a horse laugh to have heard you! You kept going over those lessous in grace/id walking and—and—ha, ha, ha! what shall I call it?—imitative vocalisation! Ha, ha, ha! 1 should like to have seen you two rehearsals."
The old lawyer seemed never tired of laughing at what be called the "huge joke" Helen had played upon theoffleers of the law. "But beyond that," he pursued, "you said nothing. When you came to the rest of the plot you would tell an imaginary Harry tbat, seeing he understood it all, yon had better not discuss it lest it come to the ears of others. Ha, ha, ha! you were a sly one, even when you were out of your head." "Mr. Bradstreet," said Helen, leaning toward him and speaking low, "of course I bad some one to help me "Tut, tut! No you didn't!" cried the lawyer. "At any rate, one who has long and so well had tnat it may be said rho could
kept a secret so better continue, so tbat there was one woman get along without a confidant."
He would not hear a word of it, but led the conversation upon a subject entirely foreign to that nearest her heart.
His cheerful visits did her good, so that she grew better rapidly. He inftised her with his own confidence In the escape of her lover and that of itself was enough to make her well.
She was almost her own self again, when one day the newspapers came out with flaming headlines. One moment she gazed, taking in their whole significance, and then sank upon a sofa with her band to ber heart. [TO BB CONTINUED NBXT WEEK.]

From the Old World.
From the great London, Eng., Timet. Among the many specifies introduced to the public for the cure of dyspepsia, indigestion, derangements of various kinds, and as a family medicine, none have met with 8nch genuine appreciation1 as Hop Bitters. Introduced to this country but a comparatively short time since, to meet the great demand for a pure, safe and perfect family medicine, they have rapidly increased in favor, until they are, without question, tbe most popular and valuable medicines known. Its world-wide renown i6 not due to the advertising it has received it is famous by reason of its inherent virtues.^ It does all that is claimed for it. It discbarges its curative powers without any of the evil effect of other bitters or medicine, being perfectly safe and harmless for tbe most frail woman, smallest child, and weakest invalid to use. Few are the homes indeed where the great discovery has not already been hailed as a deliverer and welcomed as a friend. It does what others affect to do. Composed of si insimple materials, it is a marvel of delclate and successful combinaton. Nothing is wanting. Every ingredient goes straight to the mark at which it is aimed, and never fails. Pleasant to the palate, agreeable to the stomach, and thoroughly effective as a cure, it has won for Itself the confidence of all.—Times, London, Eng.
