adam asked hit master whither he waa going tad whether he was going alone sir poyns who for the mo ment appeared to be buffering great bodily pain replied that he was troubled with a severe toothache and waa going to the drug- gisti it rjevenham to purchase a remedy oa hit return he said he felt much relieved by a sedative which he had obtained and adam thought no more of the matter in the afternoon mr haggerstone mije his appearance at the mtaorhoute -briag- iag a case which contained he said when he if terwirdt gave it to me a present for hia fair bride the present proved to be a dia-

defiance airsiast his tyrant he might be moved oh bath thst terrible mas my soul sickens it the mere thought iktfae is now twait- ing me with something of a miater sense of authority and there are momenta when overleaping ia imaginatioa tha three next dayi heaven help me only three days it seems to me no crime to pray that some swift snd sudden death may overtake me before they have passed over me and so i may leave the earth here she huried her face ou my bosom ia stainless purity and faith to walter i waa too much overcome to speak to her nor even had i found words could i have attempted

bold language but he added he wis greatly utonished at the apparent meekness with which it wu listened to by the usuallv foperioua and insolent haggerstone it is however natural to suppose that hagger- itonet confidence in the ultimate issue of evens had been somewhat rudely shaken by the reauoitation at it might be called of charles foster however sanguine he might be of the success of his scheme for the in carceration of that dangerous man evelyn resolutely refusing to be left alone with mr haggentoue for a tingle instant not only did i but also sir poyns remain with her till the
