CHAPTER XVI.
A KNIFK AT HKBTHBOAT.
Wbea Colonel Porter disappeared with "Marah, Dr. Grudge and hfe aadatant were batf leading, half carrying Arthur sSidney from the spot, in another direction.
Porter was the leading spirit, and Porster wanted the hack. Tbe girl seemed to be the more tlckelish arucle to manage, and to prevent -complications, they baa decided to leave
Brooklyn by different ferries, and so Sidney was doomed to walk. Tbe paragraph in the Sun told nearly tbe whole story of what happened afterward, at least as far as Sidney was con-
^DrTbrudge had been shrewd enough to keep his own name from the ubiquitous reporter who had gathered in the item. Though it had been so long In meetiug tbe eyes of Marab, it was seen and noticed by Harper Wardlaw tbe very next morning.
He did not at once connect it with Arthur, and probably would not have thought of it again had not Hicks turned up at an early hour, looking tbo worse for wear.
Tbe rough had not been drinking much—just enough to steady his nervon —but wardlaw knew, at first sight, that be was laboring under great excitement, and that something had gone wrong. "There's been a pretty kettle of nan oooked down there/' was Hicks' saluta-
kettle
"There's been a pretty oked down there/' was tlon. "Our little game is just knocked endways, and I'm going to waltz out till the storm's over." "You don't tell me that there has been any bungling?" .... "Just this mach—half
a
block burned
down, aud both of 'em loose on tbe world." "Both? What do you meant "That Infernal gallows-bird, Cripple
DAVG,
went back on uie. Inateau of
duinpln' tbe cove In the
water,
he hauled
him into his den an' plastered him up, iq' wfti goin' to 866 hfm hotn© whou b© ot dtrong enough. I dropped to the
Ittle game, an' weut 'round to kill em both*—curse him, I'll have his hearts blood yet! "Just as I was goln to let my knife into bis back, I got a clip on tbefcnowl-edgo-box, a regular uut-cracker, that floored me as stiff as a stake. Llde couldn't stand prosperity, and went ot! on the drunk, tbe girl set the crib on tire, got out an' lit down on me just when It was most unhandy. So when I came too, an' got the rope off my bands, they had the start. "They Just beat me to tbe ferry, so on the next boat I followed, and struck em in the street. There was business there. "They ran foul of some one else bunting them. Two men toted the follow off toward the Fulton Street Ferry, and another man took the girl In tow and I piped him till I fouud where he was going- now 1 needn't worry telling, but Sis name's Porter, and he lives near Philadelphia.
I reckon it wouldn be
hard to find htm." ••And the girl went with him? "That's about the figure. It dldn look much like a happy family loa-party
^"\^»u*don't know what became of the young inan Arthur Sidney, do you "Wirm him, no! Right then I was after the girl. I couldn't follow both, so
can veil you, then. Look at that!" Wardlaw put Into his hand the Sun, and pointed to the paragraph, saying "That settles him now, how about
h°"l?,d
have liked to sottle all three my
self, but he is done fer. If you menu business alxut his wider, say the word, and I'm right there, on the figures uanfied*" "It is said," answered WartJlaw, hiia cool, quiet tone, and he looked Hicks straight and squarely In the faee until the eyes of the rough fell before bis own. Then he added: "it's going to be dangerous having her ruuningaround loose. Ishouldn wonder if the police were at work on the case already. She must disappear forever, and vou *r« the
m*a
for
work' ou.r,
own*safety requires it, if noihiug else. "lHn't you forget it -I'll beeven with her for that crack, and I'll sqsre it up nice for Cripple Dave, too. I in Honey, the sport, au death on wheel*! "Ju*t so you roll along to your work, all right. Be oautious. Do your work •o that suspicion can not fall on you.' "Slow that, it's not tbe first, said Hicks, darklv, and with his head in his hands, he sat revolving his plans or blood:
From among the plotters against Marsh, Lonvllle Porter hardly seemed to stand out with any marked prominence.
Nevertheless, he was very much in •••meet. Tbe difference was that the rest had money in view, and would" have heard of her sudden death with cheerful resignation, but Lonville wanted Msrah hernelf for them, death WAS welcome for his lite.
He had bad other fandee, and won them because his cousin was so hard U) -win, he forgot them all, as far as he could.
He would rather have had tbe management of the girl In his own baada, but when lila father Instated, he yielded. He came twek to the Blaa Ix»d*e tbe day after Msrah, but remained unseen by her until tbe day following that on which tbe colonel broke the intellire a to S id
He kuew that she bad been told and really pitied her. Hail his mother been available, he would have bad her go in and comfort his cousin as he had be^oarefully sent away on a visit, he waited for an opportunity and went himself.
His* light tap OB tbe door started MA rah. but she said "Comeln" for form's Mke, and rather shocked him by tbe whiteness and wanness of her face, that never brightened a shade to greet him.
He was not a bad-looking fellow at tbe worst, and his face softened wonderfully •s be advanced aud took her unresisting hand. His own clasped warmly over the long, white (infers that returned no answering pressure.
For warmth be might as well have gone to tbe marble Verio* than he jnst now «*ied to own yet fa^dW not at all rebuffed.
He beamed with kindly sympathy, and bis words were as rattle as his tone. "Pardon me. Marsh, if I intrudehere relationship gW«s me tbe right, and
misery lovee company. not gWo way do not kill yourself with either sorrow or regrets. I do not think my father is the beet comforter in tbe worJd, and perhaps I am not much better, but between us we will do all that we cani to cheer you up. Forget and be b^PPy* "It is only by remembering that I can forget. Do you think I am to be tamed by Imprisonment, or will learn to sing in my gyves I have been free. "Free! of course and are now. What do you take us for? Heaven knows I bad no part in tbe restraint my father vainly tried to
put upon

not the end in something justified him 7 Well, he failed. So much tbe worse. He foresaw trouble and It came, short and sharp. Let us hope It is all over now. It was a girlish fancy, but it is done forever. Knowing that which you do can not you force yourself to feel as though it had never been
Tbe question disconcerted him a little. He baa no immediate answer, so she continued: "Yon talk as though I had done something of which I was ashamed. Surely there never was a greater mistake. I have been Arthur Sidney's wife now ou tell me I am his widow. Well, I ainow nothing of which I am prouder than the first, and as for the lsst I do not yet believe it, but living or dead I shall not disgrace him by doubts. I know that be was good, and true, and noble. I love bis memory even more than I ever did him. I have vowed to be constant to it and him—see if you can shake that constancy by imprisonment, torture or death!" "My dear Marah, you have certainly made a great mistake. As I told you before, you are free as air. When you first returned, lather did watch you but ic was to guard and shield you from any possible out break of your sorrow or your pride. Now that we see you are at least calm and know the worst we trust you entirely. I suspected this fancy and came in to remove it, to beg of you not to keep yourself long Immured. SunMiiine and fresh air will clear your brain, bring back the color to your cheeks, the smile to your lips, the sunshine to your heart. You will be Marah once more and not her ghost." "If all this is to be accomplished by promenading under the surveillance of Colonel Porter or his son, I prefer remaining as I am for tbe present. "Good Heaven, Marah how can I disabuse you of this strange notionT That miserable young man has perished and certainly that was the only point of difference between us. You are your own mistress. Go when you choose, where you choose, and bow you choose, only let us see you once more."
He spoke with an earnestness that could hardly be assumed. If Marab had not heard that memorable conversation In the library he might have won upon her by bis solicitude for her welfare and though she could not believe in him, it seemed best to appear to,and the tone of ber answer was a little softer, and her words a little more carefully weighed. "I may have wronged you, just as I know I am wronging myself,and in any event I thank you for the interest you have shown and tbe good advice you have given me, I should not be slow to act upon it, either. Why should I kill myself with a sorrow that may be taken for shame "That is better. I hoped that I could tempt you into the sunshine, and I am glad to see that my labor has not been In vain." ,,
When Lonville bad taken his departure, Marah found herself feeling all the belter for his visit. Just exactly why uhe could hardly tell, unless that from what he said she knew that for a time at least,she was to have some seeming latitude of action.
These advances she decided tp meet half way, and in so doing seize tbe opportunity to outwit whatever of plot might be formed against ber.
She would begin at ouce. Shetwould seem to trust, seem to have no suspicions and when tbe available time came she was certain that she could do something for herself and Arthur, whom she could not realize to be dead.
So she thought, sitting by tbe window watching the lengthening shadows cast bv the declining sun.
A fancy came over her to test the reality of her assorted liberty. Both Colonel Porter and Lonville were in the house.
By testing she found that her door was not locked, but she knew that she could not leave the room without their knowing it. She would go out for a walk and see if she was watched.
Having decided on tbe test, Marab caught up a "fascinator" of pale blue, and throwing it over her head and shoulders, left the room.
No one appeared to interrupt her there was no sign, even, that any one noticed her movements.
Her steps clicked and clacked on the stairway, and sounded terribly loud in the lonely house.
As she plunged into the deeper shadows that lay in the lower hall, she had half a mind to go back but the stubbornuess of the resolve she had made drove her on.
For tbe first time since her return frqm New York, Marah went out into tbe fresh open air.
She felt the braver and better for it. Her mind cleared still more, her step was freer and more elastic she walked rapid lv away with her thoughts full of Sidney—wonder of his fate, and steady determination to solve any mystery that might be about It.
Without noticing It, she had entered an avenue where tbe trees, Interspersed with thick shrubbery,would completely bide her from tbe bouse. It was a lonesome enough spot, but she scarcely noticed her surrroundiug until a rustling in the bushes caused ber to look up, and at that moment Hicks,the rough,sprang out and planted himself in ber path.
She did not recognise him, for ha was masked with black crape, but It was not hard to divine his fell purpose, since a drawn knife gleamed In his blackened right hand.
She had baroly time for one low, gurgling cry, when tbe knife descended full and falr upon her unprotected breast.
As tbe blood came sullenly welling out from tbe wound, and the ruffian raised bis stained weapon as if with the intent of striking another blow, a man came crashing through the shrubbery. With one short, sharp cry,he flung himself upon Hicks, without thought of his weapon, striking as be came.
Marsh's seniws bad not yet deserted her. Staggering back from the stroke, she had half turned to ttee when ber eyes fell upon tbe newcomer.
At tbe sight they dilated more than they had with all tbe pain and terror that came of tbe attack. "Arthur Sidnev she shouted, in one Kind, clear exclamation, and then sank powerless to tbe ground.
CHAPTER XVIL'^V* TKS SIOBT Vtsmoft. 4
Hicks began to think himself an nnfortunate *ort of rascal. .for tbe third Umc in as many weeks, or leas, be wa» balked in tbe midst of very well-intended efforts to murder. A: liiUemoreofthlaand perhaps he would
fel
begin to write himself down the coward that be really was. Without doubt, however, be would have given Arthnr Sidney a very warm reoeption, if he had not heard the noise of other hastening footsteps.
Sidney was not the only person upon whose ears tbe short cry of Marah bad fallen. He did not know it, but Hicks had lived a life of crime, and was ever on the alert and noticed what another did not.
Arthur struck at him, but he dodged the blow, and without pausing to see how effectively his work with Marah had been done, he dropped his knife and sprang through the bushes on the opposite side of the narrow avenue, in a moment disappearing from sight.
Once separated from Sidney by tbe leafy screen, be ran fleetly but silently along, just In the shade, until he found himself at the road leading to Philadelphia. Pursuit there bad been none,and now he slackened his pace Into an unconcerned walk, removed the mask from his face, and made his way, unmolested, into the city.
Sidney hesitated. Hate and passion rolled over him in a great wave he burned as though with a consuming fire, to get his fingers upon the neck of the ruffian. The death-like face and blood-stained breast of Marab were tbe only things that could have held him back, and bad fleet-footed Arthur Sidney launched himself upon his trail, Hicks would have fout»d that a struggle would have come in spite of everything be could do, ending In his yielding, or death to one of the two.
With Marah lying there,possibly near to death's doo£, It was little doubtful what Sidney would do when he had taken tbe second thought.
He let Hicks disappear, without furthmolestation, behind the leafy wall he left the bloody knife lying where It had fallen from Hick's hand, and threw himself upon his knees by the side of Marab.
It all happened In one continuous wave of incident—the attack, the appearance of Sidney, the exclamation of his name by Marab, tbe disappearance of tbe ruffian, and Arthur throwing himself by tbe side of the woman he adored. As part of the same wave, the footsteps heard by Hicks were at hand.
As Siduey dropped, two men hurled themselves upon nlm. he was overwhelmed and beaten down before he realized that he had been assaulted,a pair of handcuffs had been whipped around his wrists, and he was held a helpless prisoner. Colonel Porter stood over him with a heavy cane, raised high in air, while Lonville was bending over his cousin, seeking to stanch the ulood that would flow from the wound In her breast.
He, too, was deceived by the circumstantial evidence, but it seemed certain that if Marah was dead, Sidney would hang, and his own ends would be served, if his son's would not.
He did not aim to kill, himself, but just as Sidney recovered his senses sufflan in down ghim at~full length upon the ground. Then he churned his knee iuto Arthur's neck, and spoke to his son in cool command: "We must have help at once. Run up to the house and get John, if he can be found if not, hunt up some one else. Marah must be carried to the house, and some one must guard this prisoner until we decide what is to be done with him. This comes of Gtudge's carelessness. If he had taken half care, the man never would have gotten away from him. He is crazy now, and no mistake."
TKRRE HAUTE SATURDAY EVENING MATT,
Marah was not altogether senseless yet. She shrank a little from Lonvllle's touch, opened her eyes, and In a low tone, whispered: "Arthur."
Then her eyes«losed again, and It doubtful If Bbe was conscious of what transpired around her.
Lonville looked up in genuine horror. He had a very poor opinion of human nature, at best, so he was free to suspect.
He could believe that Sidney, if driven to despair, would kill the woman he bad sworn to love, cherish and protect but inasmuch as he also loved that very woman, it was no wonder that he was doubly indignant, doubly horrified. "The vilMu!" he said, in a hoarse, heavy whisper. "He has murdered her in cold blood 1 This is the end of it all. Kill him. and be done with it."
He looked from Marah to Arthur as be spoke, aud made a motion as though about to spring upon his rival.
Colonel Porter was cooler. Anything that reupoved these two from his way, would be a fortunate fate, even if it was horrible.
Hesitatingly Lonville obeyed. He gently placed Marah, over whom he had been hanging with a tenderness in which there was not a grain of counterfeit, upon the turf, and rose to do his father's bidding.
He can rapidly up the avenue in quest of the man-servant of Elm Lodge, wnom he was to bring to assist in conveying tbe two the house. Once emerging from tbe a venae, be saw John himself stalking along the path, at some little distance, and called to him. Johu, who was bound onagalllvantlngexpedition, came with some reluctance, doubtful of what was wanted, but upon the young man's hurried explanation, followed quickly euougb.
In a brief period of time Ixhville returned, and found matters unchanged— Marab still motionless, tbe colonel still with bis knee upon the prostrate man. "Back already? Ah, John, this has been terriule work catch hold of this man. He has been stunned a little, bat will soon come to himself. "His bands are secured, but he is a desperate case, and you must watch him carefully. Drive or drag him up to the house, and don't, on any account, let bim get away. He may have to hang for It I fear the worst."
John did not hesitate a moment. He was a big, stout, burly sort of fellow, and under more excitement than tbe others, even. He caught Arthur Sidney In no gentle grasp, and closing his ears to anything like remonstrance or explanation, or even agonised questions, from the dazed man, never relaxed it until be had him a safe prisoner in one of tbe upper rooms.
Meanwhile Porter gave a hasty examination of Marsh's wound. It was a dean cat. If It went straight in, there was nodoubt of It's being fatal.
If It glanced downward, which seemed tbe more probable, tbe loss of blood bad been trifling, and the semi-comatose condition was, moat probably, tbe result of theaboek.
To see tbe dead alive might well have that eflfect, especially If the dead came tp murder.
One thing fairly punied the colonel. During the way home be had learned. In an Indefinite sort of way, that Marah bad seen bat little of ber husband, that she bad found htm almost senseteea from a beating be bad received. Of b» enfeebled condition he himself bad been
It had seemed a very natural thing that. In his otaaed condition, be should have flung himself from tbe terry-boat, tbe paper had stated, and Dr. Grudge had written jet bete be waa, strong
enough in physique, whatever he might be mentally. Such thoughts as these the man revolved in his mind, kneeling by the girl, 1 but he quickly banished them, when Lonville threw himself beside him and gathered the girl in his arms. "You care nothing for her you would let her j}ie if she would. If you will not help, give her te me and I will carry her to the house while you run for a surgeon. Sue shall be saved. I tell you she shall!" "Hush, hush! you are wild you do not know what you are saying. It Is better to act intelligently than to run the risk of her life by undue haste. Do not let grief drive you distracted. Come, now, we will bear her to the house. I have an idea that she is not mortally wounded."
The colonel spoke with some impatience, and gave a glance of suspicion at John. He did not care to have him hear these wild words of accusation.
They might arise again to confront him as an iudictment, when It would be difficult to show that his conduct bad beeb altogether blameless.
John was sufficiently occupied with bis prisoner. One idea at a time was enough for him. laa Porter not called him away he might have stood yet, gazing in helpless sympathy at the wounded girl.
Once set to work with Arthur, his savage satisfaction kept his mind tightly pinned to the work in hand. Lonville might have been a great deal wilder in speech and action, and he would not nave noticed it.
Between them they supported Marah, as tenderly as possible, and bore her back to Elm Lodge.
Without a thought of the elegant furniture, they entered the first room they came to, the parlor. Marah was sensible, yet senseless.
She talked a little, but in a disconnected way, all the time pressing her hand tightly upon her breast.
She let them place her upon a sofa—In fact, she was like wax in their hands. The colonel was puzzled somewhat. He rang and called, but the two females —tbe cook and the house girl—who composed the balance of tbe household, had flitted away in the dusk of tbe evening and there was no house within a quarter of a mile.
John was needed to watch bis prisoner, Lonville, either through real interest or because he believed Marab could comprehend his apparent devotion, refused to leave her side. So the colonel perforce went himself.
He wanted a surgeon, a female for a nurse, an officer of the law, and to communicate with Dr. Grudge by telegram.
He believed that Marah would be all right In a few days again, and meantime he must do something with the desperate Sidney. So he. after finding water, cloths and the like, went away, leavlu, his son holding Marah's hand, whiol quivered and twitched and trembled, but not withdrawn.
Left alone, Lonville would have spoken to his cousin with some words of endearment, but feeling tbe least perceptibly drawing away he remembered that Marah had stood but a few minutes before face to face with that husband they bad labored—and with what seemed to be success—to convince her was dead.
This was an opportune moment to press his suit. His only hope was to make some little capital for the future. Even that faded away when Marah's eyes closed more fixedly, and she sank into a troubled doze.
Marah and her money he wanted— and would have at any cost—yet what that coat would be he did not and could not conceive.
As he sat there with Marah's hand still in his, he was aroused by hearing a slight rustling near tbe window, and then his name called in a low whisper.
He started in evident agitation, but did not at once move. Again he heard the whisper. He looked down at Marah and saw she did not move. Then he carefully dropped her hand by her side and stole on tip-toe across the floor, thrusting the curtains aside and peering out through the open window.
To his surprise, and perhaps something more, ne oould trace the outlines of a woman, who called him again. "Lonville,I have taken every risk and must see you. Come and go with me at once to some spot where we will be safe from interruption." "Good Heaven!" whispered he, in re sponse, "what demon has brought you here at this hour? Go away, and tomorrow I will see you. Just now I am watching my cousin, who has been mur dered, or very near it, and I dare not leave." "And I dare not trust you. I have risked much, everything. Come, or I shall force myself in, and tell to your father what 1 would soonet say first to you." "Girl, are you so mad You would ruin us both r' "Ruin or not, I mean what I say Come, or I will do as I threaten, and you may take the consequences, whatever they may be." "Walt a minute I will meet you, and
Jayof
ou shall regret this, too, to the longest your life." He gave one more look at Marab, and seeing that she still slept,sprang through the open window. £TO BB CONTINUED NKXT WEEK.]
