How slowly the hours passed for the watchers, and yet surely they passed too quickly 1 Just so many hundred more vibrations of the pen- dulum, just a few strikings of the hour, and jail would be over for her, so richly endowed with all that should make life worth living. The doctor never ieft her side. He sat there with his keen, observ- ant eye fixed upon her, ready to note any change, but there she lay im- passive, and the watcher could scarcely see that she breathed. _ Her beauty seemed even more per- fect sow. than he had thought it. Absolutely faultier was the chis- eling of those clear cut features. Her dark hnir waved loosely around her Grecian brow and trailed across her shoulders, a fit setting for the marvelous whiteness of her face. The great violfct eyes—her chief glory—were wide open, staring with terrible ii.<;ity into nothingness, or was it into H , a».!,-:'.:^ beyond? Her lips had lost' their vivid color, but this was scarcely a fault; her! luuius V, oitisiJu ill« coverlet, white j!i:irV.ie faintly marked with blue, lit .* e«lding riner the one di.s- ' corciaiiL note.

"Linley,"«he scarcely more than whispered. Then all was silence again. The nurse rose hurriedly from her chair by the fire. She had only heard a sound. The doctor raised his hand, and she resumed her seat. Long, long he waited, hoping for another sound of returning consciousness, but none came. At last he came over to the nurse. "Did you hear, her ?" "What did she say, sir?" "One word only—'Linley.'" The nurse suppressed an involun- tary exclamation. "What did it mean, nurse?" But the woman only shook her head. "Strange," muttered the doctor ee, with knitted eyebrows, he reflect- ed and strove to catch some clew. (Then he returned to the bedside. Where she lay as iaipassive as be- fore. "Linley! Linleyf he kept repeat- "What did she mean?" Tbe nurse maue no reply, Dut sat looking into the fire. "Nurse, tell me." he said at length, "have you an idea what the mispress meant bv that word ?" But the nurse did not or would not hear. "Look here, nurse," continued he, "I must have an answer. You are keeping something back. Your mis- tress' life may hang upon you. Tell me, do you know to whom or to what she alluded?" '1 do." "Then, in heaven's name, tell me. She must be roused from her leth- argy if she is to live. What did she mean t" ''Doctor, I cannot tell you." "But you must. I insist upon it. Is that life of no consequence to { ou ? Can you see her die and keep ack what might save her life f" "Yes." "Then you are committing mur- der." J he nurse's eyes were fixed on the She seemed to be seeking guid- ance from the flames. At last her courage failed her, and in distress she cried: "Oh, heaven! Wliut shall I do? I dnro not." The doctor moved up to her. "Nurse,'' said he, "one thing you must do. You must tell me what you know. If you do not, your life will be made hideous and unbearable by the memory of tonight. Cannot you trust me ? You know she looks upon me as a friend. The secret, if secret there be, is as safe with me as with you. You must tell me. What did she mean by Linley? Is it a man's name ?" "Yes." The doctor glanced involuntarily at the bed. No, she could not hear; he need not have lowered his voice. "Her lover r "Yes." The clock struck, and the woman on the bed was one step nearer the unknown. ''Is this an old affair ? I mean is it in the past?" "No." The doctor sighed. He had brought the woman into the world, and he loved her, as his own child. "What are we to do, sir ?" "What indeed, nurse?" He rose and paced the room in his perplexity. Linley! Who was he? Pshaw! What did it matter? The woman would most surely die unless she could be roused from her lethargy. This Linley might do it, for he was in her mind. He must be sent for if her life was to be saved. Her life! What would it be worth after that ? Better death than dishonor. Let her 0 down to the grave leaving a spot- ess name, let her mother sorrow for her, let'her child treasure the mem- ory of a good mother, let her hus- band mourn the loss of his faithful wife. Aye, let her difi. Yet dare he take this responsibility upon him- self? He could save ner. Of this he was confident. What had he to do with others ? Saving life was his business. She must be saved. This Linley, whoever he was, must be sent for, and at once. "Nurse, we must send for him." But the nurse only shook her head. "Or she will die. . "Better so, sir." And the doctor wavered. "Better so,; aye, better so indeed. The price is too great to pay, even for life, a life of agony W l dishonor. To be held in scorn bv those who- admired her before. To be scoffed at by those whose attentions she had not deigned to accept. To lose her mother, husband and child at one blow, (ind gain—whut? No, a thou- sand timos, no. Let her die." The doctor wiped great drops of agony from his brow as he signed her death warrant. '<You are right, nurse. It is best she should die. ' He threw himself into a chair, and tli$ nurse took his place at the bed- side. " "Doctor," she called out at length. He stood beside her and noted the ohange. "Call them, nurse. She will not live the hour out." Again they stood by the side of the woman, speechless mth grief. How beautiful she looked! How utterly lovely ! Oh, the pity of it ehe must die, so yojttgTana so doyed! Oh, the irony that Love whii!tt Should have chained her to life had been her doom. The clock struck once again. The visitor was come, and the woman breathed her last in her husband's .arms. •i * "Linley ! 1Ue Linleyt" muttered the ictor on his way hoc know his villainy is known, to thrash the life out of the scoundrel, to break every bone in his body.

ty years and more. ago. How slowly the hours passed for

the watchers, and yet surely they passed too quickly 1 Just so many hundred more vibrations of the pen-dulum, just a few strikings of the hour, and jail would be over for her, so richly endowed with all that should make life worth living.

The doctor never ieft her side. He sat there with his keen, observ-ant eye fixed upon her, ready to note any change, but there she lay im-passive, and the watcher could scarcely see that she breathed. _ Her beauty seemed even more per-fect sow. than he had thought it.

Absolutely faultier was the chis-eling of those clear cut features. Her dark hnir waved loosely around her Grecian brow and trailed across her shoulders, a fit setting for the marvelous whiteness of her face. The great violfct eyes—her chief glory—were wide open, staring with terrible ii.<;ity into nothingness, or was it into H , a».!,-:'.:^ beyond? Her lips had lost' their vivid color, but this was scarcely a fault; her! luu ius V, o i t is i Ju i l l « coverlet, white j!i:irV.ie faintly marked with blue, lit .* e«lding riner the one di.s- ' corciaiiL note.

eagerness he lirtener!. "Linley,"«he scarcely more than whispered. Then all was silence again.

The nurse rose hurriedly from her chair by the fire. She had only heard a sound.

The doctor raised his hand, and she resumed her seat. Long, long he waited, hoping for another sound of returning consciousness, but none came.

At last he came over to the nurse. "Did you hear, her ?" "What did she say, sir?" "One word only—'Linley.'" The nurse suppressed an involun-

tary exclamation. "What did it mean, nurse?"

But the woman only shook her

head. "Strange," muttered the doctor

ee, with knitted eyebrows, he reflect-ed and strove to catch some clew. (Then he returned to the bedside. Where she lay as iaipassive as be-fore.

"Linley! Linleyf he kept repeat-"What did she mean?"

Tbe nurse maue no reply, Dut sat looking into the fire.

"Nurse, tell me." he said at length, "have you an idea what the mispress meant bv that word ?"

But the nurse did not or would not hear. "Look here, nurse," continued he,

" I must have an answer. You are keeping something back. Your mis-tress' life may hang upon you. Tell

me, do you know to whom or to what she alluded?"

' 1 do." "Then, in heaven's name, tell me.

She must be roused from her leth-argy if she is to live. What did she mean t"

''Doctor, I cannot tell you." "But you must. I insist upon it.

Is that life of no consequence to

{ou ? Can you see her die and keep ack what might save her life f " "Yes." "Then you are committing mur-

der."

Jhe nurse's eyes were fixed on the She seemed to be seeking guid-

ance from the flames. At last her courage failed her, and in distress she cried:

"Oh, heaven! Wliut shall I do? I dnro not."

The doctor moved up to her. "Nurse,'' said he, "one thing you

must do. You must tell me what you know. If you do not, your life will be made hideous and unbearable by the memory of tonight. Cannot you trust me ? You know she looks upon me as a friend. The secret, if secret there be, is as safe with me as with you. You must tell me. What did she mean by Linley? Is it a man's name ?"

"Yes." The doctor glanced involuntarily

at the bed. No, she could not hear; he need not have lowered his voice.

"Her lover r "Yes." The clock struck, and the woman

on the bed was one step nearer the unknown.

''Is this an old affair ? I mean is it in the past?"

"No." The doctor sighed. He had

brought the woman into the world, and he loved her, as his own child.

"What are we to do, sir ?" "What indeed, nurse?" He rose and paced the room in his

perplexity. Linley! Who was he? Pshaw!

What did it matter? The woman would most surely die unless she could be roused from her lethargy. This Linley might do it, for he was in her mind. He must be sent for if her life was to be saved. Her life! What would it be worth after that ? Better death than dishonor. Let her 0 down to the grave leaving a spot-ess name, let her mother sorrow for

her, let'her child treasure the mem-ory of a good mother, let her hus-band mourn the loss of his faithful wife. Aye, let her difi. Yet dare he take this responsibility upon him-self? He could save ner. Of this he was confident. What had he to do with others ? Saving life was his business. She must be saved. This Linley, whoever he was, must be sent for, and at once.

"Nurse, we must send for him." But the nurse only shook her head. "Or she will die. . "Better so, sir." And the doctor wavered.

"Better so,; aye, better so indeed. The price is too great to pay, even for life, a life of agony W l dishonor. To be held in scorn bv those who-admired her before. To be scoffed at by those whose attentions she had not deigned to accept. To lose her mother, husband and child at one blow, (ind gain—whut? No, a thou-sand timos, no. Let her die."

The doctor wiped great drops of agony from his brow as he signed her death warrant.

'<You are right, nurse. I t is best she should die. '

He threw himself into a chair, and tli$ nurse took his place at the bed-side. "

"Doctor," she called out at length. He stood beside her and noted the

ohange. "Call them, nurse. She will not

live the hour out." Again they stood by the side of the

woman, speechless m th grief. How beautiful she looked! How utterly lovely ! Oh, the pity of it ehe must die, so yojttgTana so doyed! Oh, the irony that Love whii!tt Should have chained her to life had been her doom.

But the nurse kept her secret and did not tell him.
