A few half-blown monthly roses lay on the crffin-lid, which was of pl a.in d eal covered with cloth; the air was close and stifling, the solitar y candle emitted a ·ickly lig ht.

"Yea, I iim sure he was forgiven at last; he suffered so-ah , bow m uch ! Poor fath er ! And- and it was an accident. I can always say that truthfully-he never meant to do it."

And then relief cams in a burbt of hvsteri· cal tears, which may be saved poor l>ally 's rea.11on, '.l'nere had been an in quest the day before - in this &8 in t hat other case, five years ago -- and it was then that A dl'm J ar vis's confession had been r er.d - a statement which he had written during those bilent hours when the angel with the sickle was already, unse~n e.nd unknown, hovering near him, Rriefly explained, it amounted to this. · On that eventful evening, when Captain Braichwa.ite ha.d lost his life, Adam had been .returning from his wooing throtwh the pine-wood, when he had recognised his daughter and the young .,ffioer talking together . A few words which he over-heard a.nd miw onstTued, had led him to believe that the Captain had a cted even a baser put than be had r eally done ; a.nd, without prefo.oe or warning, the bla.oksmith he.d raieed hie mighty fist, and with one tremendous blow, had struck t he betrayer of Dolly's affections. Attacked thus suddenly and unawar es, Captain Braithwaite made but a feeble resistn.nce to his a 9sailment, and in the strugg le stumbled, a.nd slipped o ver the precipice, while Ad11m, heedless uf Dolly's wild cries, had stridden off, reckless of a.ny injuriee he might have inflicte cl on t he young offi cer, bui; hardly dreaming of. the consquences wh ich ha d really attended what he termed the "drubbing he had given the rascal." H e had groWl) un aey as t he t ime sped: by , and l>olly did not m ake her appearance ; but, when she at length returned, and in a few heart-broken words m ade her confeseion from beginning t o end, he was honor-stricken . A fearless man , poaaeseed cf grea t strength, he beca.me a coward at the vision of the hangman, and, in a moment of weakneae, consented to carry out his daughter's su11gestion, which was that the bJ .. me should be permitted to fall upon her. No one but herself knew of Adam's presence at the interview which had ta.ken place between D )Jly and he~ lover. The pine-wood wa.s quite out of the blacksmith's wa.y in going to and from Doctor Seymour's ; so suspioion was hardly likely to fall upon him. "Having made our plans, I was compel· led to stand by them," Adam wrote "though many a time and oft, I felt I muat confess the truth when I saw how my pretty lass was shunned and smpected. I had made up my mind thi.t, if things went seriously &t!'aiost Dolly at the lnq ueet, I would have cleared her and giveu myself up, and even that open verdict, which seemed to cast 11o doubt on my poor lass, nee.rly matleme do it; but I thoug ht of the hangman, and remained silent." '.l'hen he went on to s1y that life beo1 me a. Jiving death to him, that be ahunneu his neig hbors, because he feared they would read his secr et in his guilty looks, and yet still more terrible was solitude; whilst even Dolly's presence, once so d ear to him, seemed t o be an everlasting r eproaeh. But it waa MiH Mainwaring he feared moat, Instinct told him that 11he who had loved t he dead mo.n with a. great and deep-seated p l S· sion, would never rest until she had discov· ered the truth. So he had com e to the con clusion that she would no longer fight against fate. Dolly 'who had been an angel to him, who, while abhoring the sin, ha.d yet loved and pitied the sinner so greatly, should have her Innocence publicly declared. She had begged h im to go away- well, ho would go tomorrow ; he would give himself up to justice, I t seemed strange that he should ha'7e wr itten this confession when a.bout to p roclaim the truth in hie own person-perhaps he t hought it was lees painful to break his intelligence first in this for ill, or maybe the shadow of the dark messenger was already with h im. Some Instinct, sure, but unde· fined, may have warned him that, if aton11· ment w er e to be ma.de, it must be done quickly. A h, Heaven had dealt mercifully with Ad&m Jar vie, aft er all! The contemplatioa of the.t " giving himself up" had been too much for him. H e had " gone a.way" in the dark solemn night; but Death had been h is companion. The verdict that he had died of disease of the heart was true enough, for hi s heart had been slowly b ut surely break ing ever since that t errible m oment when he had realised that his hand had dest royed a fellow-being.
