To his eyes inexperi~ l word was clearly and distinctly uttered, , will be more explicit, and trll inc w'.nt cuced as he was in illness and its signs, â€"“ that the mystery of the Ashfordijou fear." Sidney s face looked like the face of a dying woman as the light of the railway lamp fill upon it, and he felt terriny helpless and despairing. Suddenly he remembered that he had his travelling- ‘lssk with him, and that, on leaving East- horpe on the previous day, the butler had filled it with sherry ; he had had no oc- casinn m use it since, and had forgotten it. Now he remembered it with an al- most passionate sense of gratitude ; and, gently placing Sidney back in her seat, he took his bag from the netting, hastily un- locked it, and took out the flask. “What is it!” she said faintly, as he held the little silver cup to her lips. “Some wine. Drink it, dear child ; it will do you qud.” With asudden eagerness, almost avidity, she took it from h'm and drained the con- tents of the little cup. It had contained barely a wincglassfui of the wine ; but, small as the quantity was, it acted like imgic on her feeble frame ; even a faint tinge of col-iur came into the thin checks which had been so ashen-white the min- ute before ; and she raised her-elf from the onshinns, eager and anxious to tell him all before her strength gave way again. Stephen went back to his seat beside her, With a psalm of thsngsgiving in his heart. Never had he been so glad of the thoughtfulness of his butler before. “Now, Sidney," he said cheerfully, “tell me all about. it What has made you leave Blighton so suddenly, without giving us any warning or bringing any at- tendant with you?” She looked up in'o his facs earnestly as she replied to his question by an- other. “Wore you going home to Eusthorpe?" “Yes,” he ansWercd wondoiiiigly. "l have been to Daring on business, and I am returning to Ashford ; we seem duon‘i- cd to meat at rsilwaystations, Sidney," ho added, with a slight laugh which sounded forced and tuiicless in the silent carriage. “Do not go home,” she said suddenly, grasping his arm with her trembling burning hands. “0h, Stephen, do not go home! Como with me, awayâ€"far awayl Have you not heard?" He looked down at her in intense be- wilderment, without the remotest concep- tion of her meaning ; then a thought struck him and held him for a. moment dumb with terror. Her brain had given way, he thoughf, and in her delirium she lliltl left Brighton by stealth and come to Ashford. How fortunate that he had met lierl Poor child! Alone and ill as she was, how would she have found her way home? He put his arm round her once more, and drew her tenderly to his side, look- ing down at the beautiful wan face witha love and tenderness he did not try to dis- guise ; but he could not speak to her for aniouiont, for his lips were quivering soiiiewhst, and there wasa strange lump in his throat. “Have you not heard," she repeated, in husky, awn-stricken tonesâ€"“lime you not heard? They knowâ€"they have found out! I heard it last night at the ball, and [could not coma soonerâ€"I missed the train ; but, now that you are here, we can go away somewhere, and they Will not know.” “ My poor Sidney, ” he said lonely. “I shall not mind,” she raid faintlyâ€" “not if you are safe.

Andâ€"andâ€"I will go ; you will not go without me, as you thought onceâ€"yon will lei: me be with you?" “My dearest, yes,” he said unsteadily. “\Vhen you are stronger, I will take you away ; but we must first go home to Easthoi po and lot you get quite well." “Not to Easthorpe,” she cried, in in- tents alarmâ€"“not there!

You will trust me, Stephen?" “My darling," lio murmured, with dim eyes, touched by her pathetic eagerness and humility, “I trust you fully ; and by and by we will go away togethw, and try to repair the mis'akes of the past." She loiked up at him still; but into the sweet plcadiug eyes had come a look of puzzled impatience. "Do you not understand 7" she said hastily. they She sank down upon her knees by his side, still c‘asping his arm with her little feverish hands, her eyes raised to him in wild appeal ; but Szepheu, who had no clue to the mystery, could only look at her in pityiug campus-ion and try to soothe her by a few softly-spoken words and tender CAYLSBL‘S. But she shrank from him impatiently, “ Will you not hot-J. 3" she said fain‘ly. tromu- I “Stephen, they know, andâ€" p _ . through his arm and held it there, andl murder was likely locked-for revelations might be expected, that the police were on the track.

But her husband, uricamprehending until now, suddenly divined her meaning, or supposed that he divined it. She fear- ed for Frank Greville's safety, and per- haps, knowing something of his where- abouts, she was anxious to go somewhere where her evidence could not be obtained if it were sought for. There was method in her madness then, he thought bitterly; all her terror was for this man whom, un- worthy as he was, she loved still, and who Would ever stand between Stephen and his heart’s desire while life lasted. His face had altered strangely as he sat looking down in silence at the stricken head resting against hisknee, at the little trembling hands holding him with such a convulsive clasp. All the tenderness died out of itâ€"not tho compassionâ€"for it was not in Stephen Danni’s nature to look at a woman in trouble without pityâ€"and in the sudden revulsion of feeling he dropp- ed his arm from around her and drew back a little. “ You know now 7" “ Yes," he answered, in a voice so cold ani changed that, had Sidney's own agitation been less. she could not have failed to notice itâ€"“ yes, I know now I” There was a moment’s silence ; the train rushed onwards through the gleam- ing, the snow had ceased to fall, the stars Wei-c coming out one by one in the clear deep blue of the sky. They had rushed through a station just then, and Stephen had seen the lamps burning, and had cough: a glimpse of the waiting travellers,- which he rec'illed afterwards, thinking how straiigi-lv in moments of great ex- citement trifics seem to fix themselves on one's mind and memory when greater matters fade from them. “Stephen "â€"tho faint broken voice fell upon the silence s..dl_y â€"“ you will go now i” “Go 1" he repeated, in puzzled tones. “Why should I go?

She shrank back from him as she knelt, trembling and aghast. Did he not yet understand that the real culprit had been discovered? How could she make him understand? Sho Could not put it. into plain words ; she could not say to her husbandâ€" “ I know you are guilty. I know you killed the unfortunate Squire ; and is is for your safety, and not lor Frank's, that I am anxious." The train slackened speed a little, and Sidney mechanically rose to her foot.
