THE THREAD OF LIFE Hugh's answer had the very riu of truth in itâ€"for indeed it was true ; and Viuiired, watching him with a woman’s closeness, felt certain in her own mind that in this at least he was not deceiving her. But he certainly grew unnecessarily pale. Cousin- ly afl'ection would hardly account for so much disturbance of the vase-motor system. She questioned him closely as to all that had passed or might have passed between them these weeks or earlier. Did he know any- thing of Elsie’s movements or feelings? Hugh, holding the letter firmly in one hand, and playing with the key of that incrimin- ating cupboard, in his waistcoat pocket, loosely with the other, passed with credit his ex imination. He had never, he said, with gay flippancy almost, been really in- timate with Elsie, talked coufidenoes with Elsie, or received any from Elsie in return. She did not know of his engagement to lVinifred. Yet he feared, whatever her course might be, some manor other must be its leading motive. Perhapsâ€"but this with the utmost hesitationâ€"Warren Ralf and she might have strucl} up a love affair. lie felt, of course, it was a serious ordeal. Apart from the profounder background of possible consequencesâ€"the obvious charge of having got rid of Elsieâ€"two other unplea- sant notions stared him full in the face. The first was, that the Meyseys might suspect him of having driven Elsie to run away by his proposal to Winifred. But supposing even they never thought of thatâ€"which was highly unlikely, considering the close sequence of the two events and the evident drift of Winifred’s questionsâ€"there still remained the second unpleasantneasâ€"thet his cousin, through whom he had been in- troduced to the family, should have disap« peared under such mysterious circumstances. Was it likely they would wish their daugh- ter to marry a man among whose relations such odd end unaccountable things were lik_ely to happen! ' “ Not Mr. Meseinger,” Hugh corrected grevely, win a livid white me yet effecting j-untineu. “ lo we: agreed yesterday is should be 'llugh’ in futureâ€"No; I don’t at I“ know where she in, Winifred ; I wish I did." He hid it seriously. "She hasn‘t wr_i_tten_e single line_to_ me." For, strangely euou h, Hugh still wished to marry Winifred. hough he loathed her in his heart just then for not being Elsie, and even, by some illogical twist oi thought, for having been the unconscious cause at Elme’s misfortunes ; though he would have died himself for rather than lived without E sie ; yet, if he lived,he wished for all that to marry Winifred. For {one thing, it was the programme; and because it was the programme, he wanted, with his strict busi~ nee: habits, to carry i‘ out to the bitter end. For another thing, his future all depended upon it: and though he didn’t care a straw at present for his future, he went on acting, by the pure force of habit in a prudent man. as dellberately and cautiouclyesif he had still the same stake in existence as ever. He wssn’t going to chuck up everything all at once, just be- cause life was now an utter blank to him. He would go on as usual in the regular groove, and pretend to tho world he was still every bit as interested and engaged inliie as formerly: “ Why, what doe- thie menu, Min Mayo toyâ€"tint in tony, Winifred 2" He correct- ed him-ell hurriedly. “ Eluie lln't gone?

On the contrary, in- stead of finding, as he had expected, that they considered this delinquency on the part of his cousin told against himself asa remote rtner to her original sin, by ri ht of hered- ty, he found the Squire and rs. Meysey nervously anxious for their part least he, her nearest male relative, should suspect them of having inefficiently guarded his cousin's youth. inexperience, and innocence. They were all apology, where he had looked for coldness ;they were all on the defensive, where he had expected to see them vigor- ously carryin the war into Africa. One thing, above al others, he noted with pro« found satisfactionâ€"nobody seemed to doubt for one second the genuineness and authen- ticity of the forged letter. Whatever else the doubted, the letter was safe. They all too it fully for granted that Elsie had gone, of her own free-will. gone to the four winds, with no trace left of her; and that Hugh, in the perfect innocence of his heart, knew no more than they themselves about it. Nothing else, of course, was talked of at \Vhitcstrand that livelong day ; and before night, the gossips and quidnuncs of the vil- lage inn and the servants' hall had a com. plete theory of their own to account for the episode. Their theory was simple, roman- tic, and improbable. It had the dearly- loved a ice of mystery about it. The coast- ard ad noticed that a ship. name un- nown, withered light at the masthead and a green on the port bow, had put in hastily about nine o'clock the night before, near the big poplar. The Whitestrsnd cronies hsd magnified this fsct before night- fall, through various additions of more or less fanciful observers or nonobserversâ€"for fiction, too, counts for somethingâ€"intoa consistent story of a most orthodox elopo- ment. Miss Elsie had let hereelf down by a twisted shes: out of her own win.

And yet, technically speaking, Hugh was in reality quite innocent. Murderer ashe- felt himself, he had done no murder.

From time to time to be sure, one disquieting thought for a mo- ment occurred to his uneasy mind: a back current might perhaps cast up the corpse upon the long dike where he had himself been stranded, or the breakers on the bar might fling it ashore upon the great sands that stretched for miles on either side of the river-mouth at Whitestrand. But to these terrible imaginings of the night-watches, the more judicial functions of his waking brain refused their assent on closer consider- ation. He himself had floated through that seething turmoil simply because he knew how to float. Awoman, caught wildly by the careering current in its headlomz course, would naturally give a few mad strgngles for life, gasping and gulping'and flinging up her hands, as those untaught to swim in~ variably do : but when once the stream had carried her under, she would never rise again from so profound and measureless a depth of water. He did not in any way doubt that the body had been swept away seaward with irresistible might by the first force of the outward flow, and that it new 1_ay huddled at_ the bottom of the_ German The Me yoeya: of course, were less credn- on: u to detail ; but even the Moyneya nua- ectcd nothing serioul in the matter.

Hugh smiled a rim and hideous smile of polite incredul ty as he listened to these final imaginative embellish- ments of the popular fancy; but be ac- cepted inoutline the romantic tale as the best possible version of Elsie‘a disappear- ance for public acceptance. It kept the police at least from poking their none: too deep into this family affair, and it freed him from any possible tinge of blame in the eyes of the Meyseys. Nobody can be found fault with for somebody else’a elopement. Two points at least seemei fairly certain to the White-wand intelligence: first, that Mill E'sle had run away of her own accord in the absence of the family ; and second, that she neitherwent by road nor rail, so that only the 'sea or river appeared to be left by way of :_possible explanation. Oéean in some deep p101, whence dredge or diver could never by human means recover it. How difl'erently would he have thought and acted all along had he only known that Warren Ralf and his companion on the Mud Turtle, had found Elsie'a body floating on the surface, a limp burden, not half an hour after its first immersion. That damning fact rendered all his bold precautions and daring plans for the future worse than useless. _ As things really stood,. he was plotting and scheming for his own condemnation. Through the mere accident that Elsie’s body had been recovered, ho was heaping up suspicious circumstantial evidence against himself by the forged letter, by the night escapade, by the wild design of entering Elsie’s bedroom at the Hall, by the mad idea of concealing at his own lodgings her purloiued clothes and jewelry and be longings. If ever an inquiry should come to be raised into the way that Elsie met her death, the very cunning with which Huvh bad fabricated a false scent would recoil in the end most sternly against himself. The spoor that he scattered would come home to track him. Could any one believe that an innocent man would so carefully surround himself with an enveloping atmosphere of suspicious circumstances out of pure wan tonness ? who e_ven_ tdmlttod t9 having so:_ual_ly goof When Warren Bell drew l‘llele Uhelloner. a hndddlefimeu. on board the Mud Turtle, the surf we: rolling so high on the bar, that with one accord he and Path: decided to- gether it would be Impossible for them, against Inch 3 see, to run up the tidal mouth to \Vhlteetrend.

But how could he ever hope to revive that fainting girl, alone and unaided, while the ship drifted on, sin- gle-handed, tossing and plunging before that stiffening breeze! He almost despaired of being ab:e to affect anything. Yet life lie life, and he would nerve himself up for it. He would try his best, and thank Heaven this boisterous wind that roared through the rigging would carry them quick and safe to Lowestoft. easy protestations. Ashe sat there, watching by the light of the one oil lamp, and rubbing her hands and arms gently with his rough hard palms, he saw a sudden tumultuous movement of Elsie's bosom, a sort of gasp that oonvulsed her lungsâ€"a deep inspiration, with a gurg- ling noise ; and then, like a flash, it was borne in upon him suddenly that all was not overâ€"that Elsie might yet be savedâ€"that she was still living. His mother and sister were still there. If once he could get Miss Challener safe to land, they might even now he ' to recover her. Where there’s life, there a he 6.

Coming to herself suddenly, as the whole truth flashed like lightning once more across her bewildered brain, the poor girl flung up her arms, raised herself wildl erect in the bed, and stared around her wit a horril le vacant, maddened look, as if all her life were cut at once from under her. Both of the strangers recognized instinctive- ly what that look meant. It was the look and the cry of a crushed life. If ever they had harboured a single thought of blame against that poor wounded, bleeding, torn heart for what seemed like a hasty attempt at self-murder, it was dissipated in a moment by that terrible voiceâ€"the voice of a goat!- ed, distracted, irresponsible creature, from whom all consciousness or thought of right and wrong, of life and death, of sense and movement, of motive and consequence, has been stunned at one blow by some deadly act of underseved cruelty snd_unexpected wickedness. -â€"â€"Sitting by the wownido with her dear Hughâ€"dear, dear Hughâ€"that tine of man. -How hundnomo he was; on how clever, and how generous !
