"l‘hen you are unjust,’ she said. ‘You accuse mo of bringing a false charge; ask Miss di Cyntha. whether that charge is true or falseâ€"she will not deny it if you ask her.’ Still there came no words from the white lips that were closed so strangely. ‘ I refuse to do any such thing,’ he return- ed.

I accuse Miasfli Uyntha of having in her own room, unknown to every one, and, as she thought, unseen by every one, wilfully burnt Sir Jasper Brandon's last will and tes- tament. More than that, I can prove that she did so. Now, Sir Max-c, look from her to meâ€"wllich of us looks guilty 2’ He looked at Veronica as though expect- ing an indignant denial. None came. ‘ Miss di Cynthn,” she continued, ‘ tell Sh- Marc, who accuses me of bringing a false charge, whether you destroyed that will or not.’ Still there wan no answer. ‘ I swear to Heaven that I saw her do it, and that I have the proofs,’ cried the maid. ‘ I ah )uld not speak I0 plainly before you, Sir Marc, but that huehqnoney will do from you as Well as from her.’ MY COT AMANG THE TREES.

I will see you there.’ The woman left the room, and he took Veronica in his arms. ‘ Sweetheart,’ he said, ' what is this my- stery? Why did you not deny that woman’s outrageous charges 2 My Veronica burn it will ! You cannot think how it has dis- twssed me.’ He kissed the white cold face, which looked as though neither warmth nor colour could ever brighten it again ; his heart was full of keen intolerable pain. ‘ There is some mystery, Veronica,’ he went on ; ‘ I can see that. Tell me what it is.’ ‘ I cannot,’ she said. And the two simple words were more ter- rible to him than any others. ‘ At least, my darling,’ he pleaded, ‘ tell me that it is not true. 1 cannot endurethat you should remain silent under such a charge; it is nnwomanly almostâ€"deny it. I ask no explanation of the mystery ; my sweetheart shall be as free and unfettered as the wind that blows.

She tried to smile, but the smile, died away. ‘ \Vhat if I could not deny it, Marc 2' His face flamed hotly. ‘ Great Heaven, Veronicu,’ he cried, ‘ do not jest over such a subject as this -do not jest about a. crime! I could not have thought you capable of such light words.’ She saw his face grow stern and his eyos take a cold, hard expression. ‘ I am not jesting,’ she answered, faintly ; ‘ I never thought of doing so.’ ‘ Veronica,’ he said, ‘ answer me one ques- tionâ€"it is your own fault that I have to ask itâ€"is that woman’s charge true?

You are saying it to try my loveâ€" only fin' thatâ€"to try my faith, my darling ; you could not have done it.’ ‘ Was it so great a crime?’ she asked sim- ply. “A crime ‘2' he repeated. ‘ The person who could even ask such a question must be dead to all sense of honour and shame. ' A crime? I should place it next to murder.’ ‘ I did not know it,’ she said softly ; ‘ I never thought of that.’ He looked at her in horror. “Then you did itâ€"you really and truly did it, Veronica 2’ he said. ‘ Yes, I did it, Marc,’ she replied sadly. ‘ What was the reason? \Vhy did you do it? What was your motive? Tell me, that I may understand. ’ ‘ l'cannot do that,’ she replied sadly. ' I can tell you no more than this, that I of my own accprd bumod that will.’ ‘ Grea't Heeven,’ he cried, ‘ it is incredible! Did any one else know 2’ ‘ I cannot tell you,’ she replied. ‘ Was any one else present 2’ ‘ No,’ she answered. ‘ Was the will you destroyed one againet your own interests?

Is it some foal trick, some hor- rible farce ?' ‘ No,‘ she replied, ‘ it is the simple terrible truth. I destroyed the will, but I did not know it was such a crime as you say.’ ‘And if you had known.
