'Piecissly, Sir John I refuse te marry yoor adopted daughter either to-night or at any fntore time, It waa tbe heiress of Uearewood I want- ed, not the plait; young lady vbo, if she will pardon my saying it, made suoh very hard rnniung npco me thatâ€"' He never finished tbe sentence. With the cry and spring of a tiger.the Indian officer was upon him â€" all the (tength of bis )outb back in bis rave. 'Coward liar t villain I' be thun- dered, grasping him by the thioat. â€" 'Cur I that it were slander to call man. Lie there.' He Krasped him by the throat, lift ing the short, light form as though it were a c hild of three years, flung open the diKir, dragged him out on the lauding, and witli all tlie fury aud might of madness, hurled bim Clash- ing down tbe oakeu stairs. Mrs. Vavasor's shieks rang through tbe honse; Peter Daugerfield ran head- long down the stairs. With a dull t'.iud bad to hour, Dautreo had fallen on the oakeu floor, and lay a bloody, mutilated heap now. The uproar had roused tne house guests, servants, bridesmaids, all came flocking wildly out into the ball. Peter Dangerfield had lifted the head of the prostrate man to his knee, aud was gazing into tha dcath-liko face, almost as death-like himsalf. 'Is be dead */ Captain De Verc asked the questioi^, pressing impetuously through the throng. No one m that supreme hour asked what had happened inbtit:ci ively all seemed to know that he had refused, at the last moineut, to marry Katherine Daugerfield. The dark head moved a little, a faint moan of pain came from the livid hps. It was a terrible sight. â€" From a tremendous gash above the temple the bright blood gusucd over face, aud buiisom, and bauds. 'Not dead,' Peter Daugerfield ans- wered, in a very subdu:d voice, 'De Vere, Graves and Otis are here bome- where. are they not Send them along like a good fellow, and try and disperse the crowd m. Heaven's uame. They may as well go, you see we are uot going to have a wedding to night.' Captain De Vere turned to obey â€" then paused. There was a shrill wo- man's cry frome above, iu whc^c voice no oae knew. •Send for the doctor. Quick, quick, Sir Joun is iu a fit.' 'i'here was tlie sound of a heavy fall, of a stified groAU in oue of the upper rooms then the shrieks of frantic wo- men, the ra;iid hnrrjing of excited feet. Ptfter'DiingertieidliftCii his eyes from the ghastly gory face on his kuee, and elauccd darkly up. 'The plot thickens,' he muttered. Another fit! And the doctors warned him to take care that a stcoud might prove fatal. I am Peter Dangerfield to-night, and yerilj a man of little account. Whan the fir^^t sun os the New Year arises, I may be the richest baronet in Sussex " Out of the fiiglitened throng of wedding guests two men made their way; Dr. Giayes of Castleford, aud his slever askistant, Mr. Henry Otis. ' You had host go up stairs. Dr. Graves, aud see to Sir John, Sir Jobn's nephew said, with grave a«- thoiity. In this ericis of his life he seemed |to rise with the occasian aud take bis place naturally, as next in command. 'Otis, look at this poor fellow, while I go and help Do Vere to send these people to the right about.' Somewhere in Peter Dangerfield's narrow head, talent, unspected here- tofore, must bave been stowed away. He got the excited, alarmed, aud de- moraUzed flock of well-dressed wed- dmg guests to Rether in the spacioub drawing rjoms, and made them a grave little speech. 'Ladies aud gentlemen; friends and neighbors,' Mr. Daugeifield began in bis piping little voice 'dreadful and unexpected revelations nave como to light to night. Mr. Dautree iu the basest manner has refuied to mairy Mis Dangerfield' The iufiuite relish and delight with which the speaker said this was only known to nimself. 'I call her Miss Dangerfield still, sl- thongh she has really no right to that name. We have all been d-jceived, â€" Sbe is not Sir John's daughter. Who she is be knows no more than you do.

Massive old sdver, all bearing the Dangerfield creet and motto, weighed it dnwn, crystal glittered in rainbow hues, flowers were here and arai^- where. 'And to-morrow,' he thought, with secret exaltation, 'all this may be mine.' Be poured out a glass of. win* and drank it. As he replaced it a oold band was laid upon bis a low voice spoke in his ear, '1 will take another if you please my nerves a/a horribly shaken. I saw Gaston. Dantree's face.' Bbe shuddered as she said it, 'Good Heavens I what a night this has been.' He turned and saw Mrs. Vavasor. 'You here still I' he said m no very graciojis tone. She had done him good service, bnt the service icatdone, and, hke all of his kind, he was ready to fling her asside. 'I should not think you would want to stay under this roof any longer than you can help â€" you of all people. If these two men die to night, I wonder ii their ghosts will haunt yon.

On the threshold he turued to say a last word. 'Drive the trap back jto )onr quar- ters in Castleford, I will see you to- morrow, let things eud tvhich way they will. I am going to Sir Juhn now. Go at once good niKht.' He ascended to the baronets room. Dr. Grave's was there, Katheiiue au3 M'ss Talbot. The stricken soldier had been laid upon his bed, undressed aud everything done fore -hiii that it was possible to do. ' He lay rigid and st:trk, his heavy breathing tlio only liign of life. 'Well?' Petsr Dangerfield said the word in a straiucd, tense sort of voice, and looked with eager, buruing eyes at the medical mau. 'I cau give uo definite answer as yet, Mr. Dangerfield,' the Dr. answer- ed, coldly, turuiug his back upon him. Peter Dangerfield drew a long Lreath. Death was written on every line of that ghastly bloodless face, â€" After a brief five mouths' reigo. Sir John lay dying dyiug childless, and he was heir-at-law I He looked furtively at Katherine. She was stauding motionless at the foot of thebed, gaziur at the rigid form. Sbe bad removed nothiug not a flower not a jewel not even her gloves â€" veil, laces, and silk float- ed about her. Her face kept its chingdl*8s calm jher eyes Ihoir wtill, frozen look. It was horrible it was fearful He turned away with a shiv- er, ana softly quited (ho room. 'Of all the ways I thought she would take it, I never thought of this,' he said to himself. 'Are all woulcii like her. or ie she unlike all women I never understood her; to-night I understand her least of all.' It was midnight now. ' He paused a moment at the oriel window to look out at the night. The storm had ex- pended its fury, the rain and slee^ had ceased. A wild north wind was blow- ing it was turning bitterly cold. Up above, the storm drL'ts were scudding before the gale, few frosty stars glimmered, and a wan moon lifted its palid face out of the distant sea. Tbe new year gave promise of dajvuing brilliaut and brighi. ' " And this was to have been her wed- ding day, and the bridegroom lies dy- ing down stairs. I would not spare her one pang if I could, but I must own it is hard ou her. He went softly d'^wu the long stair- way, and into the lower roota- where they had borue Gaston Dantree. Mr. Otis was with bim still, and Talbot and Devere. 'Is he dead ' Mr. Dangerfield de manded. He looked like -it. They had washed away the' blood, and bound up the wound. He lay with his eyes clored, and breathing faiutly; bnt a^.ad iu his cofiiu, Gaston Dantree would never look more awfully Corpse like than now. Mr. Otis hfted his quiet eyes, •No, Ml.
