W wk w waK? f jfW ^mS i CHAPTER XXVl—Conlmucct Gilb art Sine air foil as if this world and this life we o one inext icabJe confusion. The anonymous letter had told him wl ore and v hen to watch and the writer of that 'etter had kept ■ faith wit । him so far. since he had not watched in vain bit this spectacle of i innocent repose, the mother sleet ing | mar the child, was hardly in keep ng; i Gilbert paused irresolute, and then J went to his wife’s bedside and roused I her roughly with his strong hand u? - artn. The dark blue oyoG ■‘“'"opened suddenly end looked at him m 1 of bewilderment. “Gilbert: Baek to-night? I didn’tex- i pect you. Why do you look at mo like that? What ha< happened?" “Can't you gu-ss? You didn't expect i mo. You had made your plans according y. You had made an appointment , with your lover.” ‘Gilbert, a-e you mad?'’ “He has not disappointed you—he is here. Got up and como seo him. Quick. Fe i- wating” “Gilbert, what have you been doing? Where have you been? Cahn yourself. for Heaven's sake.” “Come,” he said, grasping her wrist, “I am too much a gentleman to let ' your lover wait yonder—on the threshold of his own house, too. Strange ; that he should try to sneak in like a burglar, when he wi 1 be master here in a few days.” He dragged her into the next room, ' and to the balcony. “Fray, don’t be so violent. Gilbert I will come any where you pleas l ,” sho said, gravely. From the balcony she saw that prostrate figure at the foot of the stairs, : and gave a faint cry of horror. “Gilbert, what have you done?” “My duty as a man. I should loathe ' myself if 1 had done less.” She followed him down the stairs, j trembling in every limb, and clung to him as he knelt by the motionle s | figure, and turned the fa e upward t i ; the faint light of the new risen moon. “Gilbert, what have you done?" re- , peatedCon tance. sobbing hysteric illy, answered ler husband, with a stolid despair. ”1 hated this fellow badly enough, but I didn't mean to kill him.* I meant to kill Sir Cypr.au Davenant, with whom you had ma le an appointment to night, counting on my absence. ” “Gilbert, what have 1 ever done that you should think me the vilest of women? I have never wronged you by one thought about Cyprian Davenant which you might not know. I have never spoke a word to him which you might not hear—you and all the world. Your jealousy oi him has ended in murder." “I have been trapped somehow. Some enemy has set a snare for me.” “What are you to do? Oh, Gilbert is , he dead? ’ “Ye<: the bullet finished him. I aimed under his shoulder. where 1 knew it would be fatal. What anl to ; do?—cut and r. n, 1 suppose.” “Yes. go, go it is your on'y chance. No one knows yet. Go, for God’s sake, this moment. ” “And leave you with a corp-e on the J premises rather cowardly that." “Den t think of me it i- life or death for you. You must go. Gilbert There is no help. Go, or you will b* taken and tried and hanged,” cried Consta ee, clinging to the iron rail tiembling very cold, the ground reeling und^r her feet. “Yes, that's the natural sequence. Fool. fool, fool! An anonym-us s -ribbler. What can have brought him here, and t > the windows of your room ‘ ■jg^^nce. what dees it mean? .Po you a! 11 qme.'^^' Hm. she hailWb . fa! -r. . n the iron stair. It was not quite midnight w n-a m Sinclair drove up to his Iwo a- , ;t ,. house in St. .lames', chiefly affected by men about town. “Room toady, .lames? Yes. of cour.sc it is. You got my telegram ye terd&v. Been dining with some fel ow-. You can bring me a brandy and .-oda up J stair-, That's all.” •Sorry the horse lost, sir." said the man. with respectful sympathy. “What hor e?” asked Gilbert with a vacant look. “Beg your pardon, sir—Goblin, sir. Thought he was safe to win the cup. Took the liberty to make my litt e venture in him. You bein’ an old cutomer, you seo, sir, and all of us feedn interested in him on th t account. " “That was a good fellow. The ground was too hard for him—goes letter in the dirt.” He went up to his bed-room after this brief colloquy, leaving the head waiter under the impression that Mr. Sinclair had been dining rather m no freely than usual. “Didn't seem to understand me when I spoke to him about his own ’oss.” sai l the waiter t > his friends i i co ncil: “stared at me reg’lar ’mazed.” “Ah, pore feller, he's 'it pretty ’ard to-dav, you may depend.” Mr. Sinclair's last order to the waiter who carried the brandy and soda to his bed-room was to he called at half-past 6 next morning. “You’ll have a cab at the door at a quarter past 7.” he said; “I want to catch the 7:30 train into Kent. I ought to have got home to-night if I could have done it.” “Yes, sir—half-past 7, sir. Anything particular you would like for breakfast?”

“Oh, anything." “A bit of ii h, sir, and a spatch-coek, cr a devil?” suggested the waiter, pertinaciously. Nothing can subdue that solicitude to obtain an order which is the waiter's mling passion. “Fish—flesh anything," cried Gilbert, kicking off his boots. “A salmon cutlet, sir, with Dutch soss.-" . “An elephant, if you like. Get me । the cab at a quarter past seven. A ; hansom, with a good horse." “Yes, sir: an ans nn ami a fast oss. Yes sir. Tea < r coffee, sir?" Mr. Sinclair banged his door in the waiter’s face. : "The ‘Baron Osy' starts at eight t>- ' morrow," said Gilbert, referring to his I Bra (snaw, the only literature he carried abi ut him constantly. “1 shall bo in Antwerp on Saturday.” Then, after a pause, he asked himself: "Might it not bo wiser to hold my ground and trud to the chapter of avoid nts? Who i, to bring t at t aitor’s death home to mo? I sleep hero t • night. No one saw me at Davenant.” He went to th 1 mantel-piece, where . a pair of wax candles were burning । with that air of elegant luxury by which your skilled hotel-keep -r seeks i to reconcile his customers to th * ex^Uavaganeo of his e urges, and to k ; dames Wyatt's lett -rs out of his breast ' pocket.

I'he-e ; Gilbert lai I aside after a glance: but there was one at which lb 1 started a- if he had touch d a snake. It was in the । same hand as the anonymous k t er I th.at made him a mutderer. ‘ This, in plain words, was t.e gist of the letter badly spelled, with a for- : eigner's uncout i orthography: curi- ; l ously wordt d. with a mixture of lor- > eign idioms and illiterate English.

THE SUNDAY SCHOOL. SERIOUS SUBJECTS CAREFULLY CONSIDERED. A Scholarly Exposition of the LessonThoughts Worthy of Calm Rellecbion— Half on Hour’s Study of the Scripture#-— Time Well Spent. Lesson fcr Sept. 9. The subject of this le son. found in , John 3: -b\ >s Jesus and Nicodemus, i "There was a man of the Pharisees named Nicodemus.” There was such a man in an old chapter. But now a new divulgence, and, pray God, a new man. He came “by night.” Possibly it was convenient alter the busy hours । of the day, convenient both for Jesus : end for Nicodemus; possibly it was , safe, and the ruler w s coming in something of timidity. In any case this is plain: Jesus leceived him. He I thrusts away no mao who comes inquiringly; he rebukes no i nxiousseekI er, however weak cr questioning his approach. "Speak to him now for be ' hears thee.” "Rabbi, we know that thou art a teacher como from God." . The world's re sonable deela-ation. A teacher sent from God is the least that man mn ,u-tly say. even in his unenlightened state, 'i'h- plain facts of ni-tory prove this much, and no man i cun fuu-iy gainsay the statement. And the proof is in the miracle, the i miracle mej^himi qhe ing purity and power, tablish hi*s competency as a teacher, ‘ sent fi oin God. But now being God’s voice for us. “Hoar ye him." “YVhat- ’ soever he saith unt> you/do it.” His xvord is to be acce; ted withe ut dispute. । And hero is his word, his greatest i word, "Ye must be born again.” How shall we respond to it? Nicodemus goes to questioning, testi g on scientific grounds. Ghrist responds that this i- a matter beyond eai th’y ken and yet not contradict ry thereto. The wind bloweth where it listeth. and we live in it and by it. spite o! our partial knowledge. to give aita his place here. Receive the message of him who can and does tall us “heavenly things. ” Y’e must be born again. Bow how? Ah. here is the gospel in a nutshell; vs. 14. 15. 16, contain the mes age of the whole < hl and New Testament in epitome.
