"It is tlmo. Oo tip nml enll Miss
Trcnholmo. Whoro Is ImogonoT"
fcven o who spoko Imogeno Ircton
atole among them, Jior w llnsjilng,
lier checks scarlet -with eorao unwonted
exelloment: yot Mrs.Tronholmo notlaod
that whim she touched her hniul It waa
cold as Ice.
"My dear Imogens, you mint go up
and aummon Marina."
ImoRone put her hand to her foro
lnad In a half-dazed way. tlien, In
fltontly recovering, bowed slightly and
tfisyed up tho stnlrs, followod by tho
three other bridesmaids, of whom
Agnes wan one.
Thoy stopped before I ho door of
Marlna'a chombor. Agnes knockod.
Thero was no reply. She ropoatod tho
nummons again and again, with n llko
xoiult. Then she turned tho knob, nnd
the door swung open partially. Some
thing lay behind It. Agnes stooped
down to remove It, and startod' baok
palo as dooth, her hand dripping with
Tilood. For tho obstacle was tho bleed
ing body of Quito, tho groat black dog
that for years had bcon Marina's faith
ful guardian In alt her walks.
Tho four girls stepped Into tho room,
nnd it was no wonder that thoy were
pallid as ashes, no -wonder their limbs
nhook ttndor them, and thotr frantlo

'Hu.-c,, J arm-chair, mid wny In
the npaf 'mailt, olnd In her bridal
robes, sat Marina, tho white, glisten
ing silk spotted with crimson, tho long,
Awoeplng veil stnlued blood-red, nnd
aver nnd aliovo all, the sweet fragraneo
of orange (lower. Marlnn's hond was
a Utile drooped, the blue oyec closed,
the fare white its marble, the hands
lightly clasped above her heart, from
which tho blood still came slowly. She
was dead! Foully murdered!
The cries of tho bridesmaids brought
every guest to the fatal chamber
Ralph first of all. He gnve one look,
then How to the sldo of the dead bride,
lifted her In his arms, prossed his lips
to hers, and called on her wildly to
awake nnd speak to hint once tnoro.
Hut In vain. No human voleo oould
ever reach her moro,
Ho laid her down on tho couch at
last, and raised her face slowly toward
tho awc-strloken spectators. Thou,
lifting up his right hand to heaven, he
Raid solemnly:
"Hear mo swear It, hero before God,
and In the presenco of my murdered
hrldo. that I will sparo no pains to bring
the guilty to account, and once dis
covered, 1 wll hunt him to the death!
Though tho law may make him frco, I
never will; but to the latest hour of his
oxistonco ho shall feci tho wo Ik lit of my
vengoanco!"
Investigations wero at once com
menced. A atrlot guard was placed over
tho premises, and nono of tho gttosts
wre permitted to leave the house. A
ehrcwd detective was brought up from
the city, and the ssse left In his hands.
And In the five hours he had satisfied
hlnvelf with the facts he had dis
covered. There was the mark 0 two bloody
fingers upon the window sill two very
olender fingers, and just beneath (he
window on the carpet were several lit
tie globttlM of bloed. A grapevine
climbed nearly to the window on a
strong trellis outside, and tho bark
was mrlpped from this vjne lit several
places, Indicating that the assassin had
escaped by that menus. In tho soft
earth, just tinder the trellis, wero tho
marks of n man very small tracks In
deed for those of a man, yet such they
evidently were. And still further,
among the leaves of the vine, was
found a blood-stained kid glove, and
on the ln'1o of tho wrist was written
tU P Ly ' Jrahcml
Mr deteotlve, an-
noiir - jry quietly In the
llbi , in . rasonee of the wholo
wedding party.
Lynda CI rah am felt the charge bo
knew thon that he should be accused of
the orlme of murder. For a moment
the scarlet Hush of wounded pride dyed
his fine face, and then bo was himself
again, calm and erect as usual.
Imogeno Ireton had bent forward)
and listened with quick breath anil
flushed cheeks to the report of the de
tective, ani when it was given the
drew back and the color faded out of
her fare, kvlng It like wax.
Further facta wore developed before
midnight. The boots of Lyndo Ornhnm
fitted oxnetly tho tracks In the garden,
nnd Just without tho garden gato was
found a surgeon's knlfo blood-stained
and bearing on tho handle tho initials
"L. 0." Evidently tho murderer had
stood behind tho girl and stabbed hor
as sho sat In nor ehatr, and then bolng
attacked by the dog had plunged the
knlfo Into him.
Perhaps tho brute might be abto to
do something toward bringing tho guil
ty to Justice. Ho was not tlood, though
sovcrely hurt, and every oaro was taken
to save his life. Ho waa an animal of
wonderful sagacity, and Ralph felt cer
tain thnt If he could be brought baok
to hwlth ho could make him limtru
mottal In discovering the real mur
derer. k
Tho chain of olrctitnstanees was se
strong that It fully warranted Mr
Strickland In arresting J)r. Qraham
upon the charge of tho assassination of
Marina Trcnholmo. At his oxamlna
tlon boforo n Justice, Graham refused
to offor any phja whatever; ho simply
saiu no was innoooni or tno crime.
Two of tho old servants testified to hav
lug mot .the prisoner about half-past 9
on tho morning of tho nuinlor In tho gar
den, on thftJMstorn sldo of tho house,
Ho was paifPand aingularly agitated
and when ono of them asked tint If
anything had gonn wrong, .he had
pudhed by him and hurried on.
Qraham was committed to tho county
jail to await the convonlng of tho As
alzca on tho first of November, when
his final trial would take place.
Marina was laid In tho shady grave
yard wlioro tho Trenholmos had for
generations been burled, and nftor tho
funeral was over, tho guests doparU-ti
and loft Ralph and Agnes and their
mothir nlono at tho Rock.
His poor old father and mother wero
nenrly frantlo with tho droadful turn
affairs had taken, nnd buforo her boy
had lain a week In prison, tho fnoblo
mother wna dressed for tho grave. His
father, the honest old fisherman, went
about slowl), his tall form bowed, his
oyes vacant, his voice broken, nnd his
Intellect verging fast upon Imbecility
A largo part of Ralph's tlmo was
spent away, collecting any evidence
which might tell at the approaching
trial Indeod his every energy seemed
to bo devoted to tho work of bringing
condemnation on Lynda Qraham. tho
mnu ho had once loved na a brother. Ho
believed him guilty, and, believing this,
ho said, sternly, to himself, he would
not hesltoto to bring his own father
to the gallows! No. when ho thought
of Marina, ho beautiful, so foully mur
dered, ho forgot thero was such a word
as mercy ho only, romomborod von
geanco.
Since the terrible tragedy Agnes
Trcnholmo had not been herself. HI10
waa restless, nervous given to long
Ills of passlonnto weeping, nt which
Umes nothing could comfort her, Mrs,
Trcnholmo attributed it to grief for
the fearful death of her adopted sister,
and though she herself mourned tho
gentle girl, and was horrified beyond
moaiuro at her tragic death, yet as the
tlmo passed, nnd Agues only grew
mora and more depressed, she could
not resist a little feeling of Impatleneo
at her eonduct, A few days boforo the
first of November, on which day Lynde
Qraham would be brought to trial
Agnes sought Ralph In the library,
Ho started at tho eight of Agnos In
her white robes, and her face as white
as her dress, with tho dark circles
around the great dilated, gray oyos. He
had never noticed before how jerrlbly
sne naa enangeu.
'My dear Agnes, tell mo what
troubles you."
She came slowly forward, and sink
Ing at his feet, buried her face In his
bosom and burst Into sobs.
He lifted up her taee and looked Into
her troubled eyes.
"My dear sister, tell mo what'
means! I do not understand you.
did not know your-love for for her
waa so Intense."
"0, yes; I loved Marina. I did love
her! Ralph, God knows alio was dear
to ma aa an own sister could have been
Hut it Is not her death that is wearing
me to the grave. No, no not that!"
"Not thatT Then tell me, ana let mo
oomfort you."
"I must tell some onol I shall go
mad it I do not) Homo women would
suffer it la sllenee would die before
they would breathe tho secret. Hut
am mado of weaker stuff. I cannot
bear It alone. I must have help!"
"And I will give It to you, If It lies
in my power, my poor Agnes," lie said
stroking her hair.
"Ob. thank you! bless you! If you
only mean It. Will you promise to hulp
m la my own wiv"
"Toll mo tho Urvumslnnccs. If. would
bo wrong to promise without knowing
to what I pierced myself."
"I want you to promise to spare the
life of Lyndo Graham!"
His face grow blaok. ho opened his
mouth to speak, but sho covered It with
her two hands. -4
"Only hor mo otil, Ralph. You shall
not deny me yet, I will bop a Uttlo
longer. It Is shame for mo to oonfesa,
It, but his death (Tpon tho gallows will
kill mot I could not llvo and know
that while I breathed ho was yielding
up his precious llfo at tho end of the
tcrrlbto rope! (ho tpectaclo of n jeer

the beat man that ever lived! You can
save him! You can rnfuso to appear
against him I know thero nro ways
by which men provont tho conviction
of even tho basest criminals! And ho
Is not sillily! Ho never had such a
thought. Ho Is Innocent as tho ongols!
Ralph, promise mo that you will save
him!"
Ho rose to his feet, lifting her up
nlso, and looking down Into her faco
coldly nnd stormy.
Agnes, rthnt posslblo Intoroflt can
you toko In that damnnblo murdorerf"
"My brother! O Ralph! do not
ilftsplse mo tittorly! I lovo him!" sho
moaned, sinking to tho floor and clasp
lug his knees.
"Love him! " he exclaimed, hoarsely;
"you lovo n miirdorert n cowardly as
sasslnl Agnes Trenholmo, why did not
God let you die before you snnk so lowT
The son of a common fisherman
and-"
'Hush!" sho said, sternly. "Do not
speak of rank! You dared to lovo n
woman without a name, and I honored
you for Ignoring birth and position.
I lovo Lynde Graham becauso bo Is
worthier of a woman's lovo than any
mnn I over saw! I havo loved him for
years. I cannot remembor wnen evory
sweot thought of my honrt waa not In

ohlld of wealth alone. It goes whither
It Is sonU And to mo Lyndo GrMinm

'And did ho darc?-haB ho dared to
ask your lovo?".
Her faco grow soarlot. but sho held
up hor head proudly.
"Ho has dnrcd nothing. Ho Is blame-

Hut I havo lived only In his presence
I only asked to be allowed to wor

and in saving him, give pence to your
wrotched alstor!"
"Agnes," Jie sold, slowly nnd sternly
"by tho sldo of the dead body of my
mtirderod Marina I sworo vengoaneo!
Thnt will I have! Neither men nor
devils shall prevent me! I believe
Lynde Graham Is guilty. And he shall

Ho put her forcibly Into the corridor
and bolted tho door upon her.

Wna brought bo
foro a Jury of his
countrymen to bo
tried for his llfo.
Tho great court
room was crowded.
Pooplo had come
from near and far
to look upon tho
countenance of tho
mnn who had dared
offend the majesty of the law by tak
ing tho life of a fellow creature.
Tho details of tho trial wo do not
proposo to enter upon; they would bo
too tedious. Tho counsel on both sides
was tho beat tho stnto afforded, and
tho pleas wero ablo nnd oloquent. Hut
the defenso Amounted to very little.
Tho simple plea of n lawyer, be ho over
so olQpient, will not change tho minds
of men upon whom such a chain of
startling faets had been Impressed. The
evidence was suftlelent to commit any
man, and those whom the sight of
Graham's handsome face had preju
diced In his favor felt their preposses
sion yielding gradually, ami settling
down at last upon the inevitable con
clusion that he waa guilty. The only
defense his counsel urged was the un
blemished character of tho prisoner
nnd the lack of n motive to the orlma.
He had nothing to gain by the death
of Marina Trenholme. He was not the
lady's lover thai he should seek re
Ye n go, and ho oould have no personally
private animosity to Indulge, for tho
two families had always been tho best
of friends. Whero, then, was the mo
tive? Tho trial was virtually closed and tho
jury went out to agreo upon a ver
dict. One eould see by their hard-set
faees that they were agroed already,
but they felt some form necessary.
They were absent only a few moments,
and when tho usual question was put,
"Mr. Foreman of the Jury, do you find
tho prisoner at the bar guilty or not
guilty?" there was not a moment's
hesitation. The man announied in
stantly. "Oulltyl"
