The mail-bag was handed out, he saw a slight. girlish figure alight from a rear coach; and as he gazed, the train thundered on again. She advanced with a quick, firm 7 step toward him, inquiring if that was the stage to Dover. The old driver looked at the slen- der creature, who was so heavily veil- ed, and all alane, in dismay. “To Dover?" he exclaimed, in as- "Why,. no.

"I must! Oh,.I must!" cried the sweet young voice, distractedly. Suddenly she tore of! one of the dark gloves from her little white handS, and drew from her finger a massive ring, set with a flashing diamond, and held it out to the man. . “Take this, and drive me as far as Dover; it is worth twenty times my fare. 0h, sir, for the love of Heaven, do not refuse me!" she cried, wildly. ”I must get to Wald- ron Towers before day breaks. I cannot tell you why; but if you only know, you would not refuse to help me. In Vain the old driver romonstrat- od, declaring “ho was sorry, but it couldn’t be thought of. He must take the mail on to Allendale." In the agony of despair, the beau- tiful stranger pleaded. When he looked back to that night in after yearsâ€"trembling as he thought of that scene, and the tragedy that followed on the heels of itâ€" he remembered that he very unwillingly allowed himself, against his better judgment, to become perâ€" suaded to take the young girl to And an hour had first made her appearance, they were making their way through the terrible storm toward Dover. Once he thought he heard a cry issuing from the interior of the coach. 'lhe reins almost tell from his nerveless grasp, and his heart alâ€" most ceased to beat. He listened in- tently. The sound was not repeated. “It must have been my fancyff ho muttered. “No doubt it was the wind, shrieking and howling, demon-like fury, down the mountain gorge. dying away like a deep sob of one in bitter pain.” Again he assured himself “it was only the wind," as he urged the poor horses up the steep, slippery pass by applying the whip. At last the turrets of Waldron Towns, ablaze with lights, loomed up in the distance. .\ few moments more, .and the entrance gate was reached. The terrible journey was ended. As the driver assisted her to alight from the vehicle the wind for an in- stant raised the heavy folds of the veil she wore, from her face. A sharp exclamation of dismay rose to her lips as she quickly draw it down to its place. In that one brief instant, the flick- ering light of the gate lamps reveal- ed to the man the most beautiful face he had ever beheld; but over the lovely face lay a death-white pallor. He caught a glimpse of two dark- blue eyes and a halo of golden hair.

"I would know that young woman anywhere again," he muttered. "Ah, what a face! what beautiful eyes!" Meanwhile, the young girl had crept up the marble porch, close to the long French window, peering in, through the laceâ€"draped window, with wide, distended, horror-stricken eyes. The interior of the apartment into which she gazed was ablaze with light, and thronged with guests. In their midst stood a young man, with a debonair, handsome face. A fair young girl in spotless white, with pale blossoms on her breast and in her clustering curls, clung to his arm. With bated breath, the burning eyes of the figure crouching outside in the terrible storm and darkness rested upon them. She had pushed back the heavy veil, and the sportiVo breeze tossed the pale-gold hair want- about hos lovely childish face. The Wild winds around her sung a requiemâ€"tho dash of the down-pour- ing rain a dirge. So young and gloriously fair, yet life had gone all wrong with her. Her strange secret, and her pitiful With ! story, would startle the world on tho morrow, as it had never been start- led before, steeped, as it is, in misery, suffering, crime and sin. There was a quick shuddering cry as she gazed on the young man's handsome face. "It is quite true," she muttered. "The paragraph in the paper spoke truly. It is he!" “Heaven forgive me," she gasped, faintly, as she drew something from the folds of her cloak with her tremâ€" bling right hand. “Heaven forgive me! I am driven to it." , The next moment there was a clear, ringing report of a. revolver. The plate-glass window was shivercd into a thouSand fragments. The fatal bullet had sped on its course.
